comicallycluttered,

I’m trying Starfield again.

New playthrough, got some .ini tweaks which seem to help performance quite a bit so far, not screwing myself with traits and character background like I did initially, and making gameplay priorities.

I was too overwhelmed the first time with all the different mechanics and forgot to do what I do with most Bethesda games: focus on a few select areas and ignore the rest, so I’m not going to bother with a lot of the mechanics I’m not interested in.

If they draw me in at some other point, might give it a shot. Otherwise, unimportant to me.

Other than that, I’ve been on a FIFA kick for a while. Still messing around with that. I really wish women’s football was more popular. I’d honestly pay for a game specifically focusing on it and ignoring the men’s side of things.

Look into SP Football Life for even more/deeper/better soccer goodness on PC.

I started playing The Ezio Trilogy. Finished AC2 and Brotherhood back in the day, but never Revelations. The last AC game I played was (a bit of) AC3, but dropped it and never played an AC game ever again.

It's a few years old, but I've been working on getting 100% achievements in Conarium over the weekend. I'm always a sucker for a Lovecraftian game, and it's one of the more visually interesting walking sims that I've played. I only have two achievements left, so I'm hoping I can clear them either today or tomorrow. I need more disk space for other games lmao

TheRoarer,

I am about to finish Starfield. I did not enjoy my time with it. Luckily, I played it on gamepass, so very little monetary value was lost.

Might revisit once creation kit is up. That was the only way Fallout 4 was enjoyable for me.

I will head back to finishing my bg3 evil play through, filling the gaps with Darktide.

rgb3x3,

What’s sad is that Starfield was expected to be the next big RPG. The next Skyrim but in space.

Instead, most people are likely going to come out of their experience with the game with a “meh” opinion about it. It’s solidly middle-tier.

If there’s anything to be said, the visuals are incredible, but everything else is a retread of mechanics pulled from other games (most notably, half the ideas are taken from No Man’s Sky).

MJBrune,

Ctrl Alt Ego. It’s a great little game that isn’t little. It’s a very complex immersive sim.

stewie410,

Still playing through Remnant 2; trying to get all non-HC items on my original character, as well as work on an apocalypse clear.

Otherwise, does rewriting bash/powershell scripts count as gaming?

Death Stranding on steam deck, the version I got for free on epic

Nicadimos,

How do you play the Epic version on Steam?

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@kbin.social avatar

You can side load a program called Heroic Game Launcher that will automatically download from other stores and apply the best known version of Proton to it. It's not as good as proper Steam support, but it will often get the job done.

Nicadimos,

Awesome, thanks. I’ll have to check it out.

with heroic launcher, it handles everything for you

MiddledAgedGuy,

I’ve been playing Darkest Dungeon. I just reinstalled Death Stranding to test an AAA Windows title on Linux and it works so I think I’ll start that up. I feel ready for a walking simulator replay.

I’m eyeing Starfield as well, might see if I can get that running.

I was super addicted to Darkest Dungeon whenever I first got it. I never ended up finishing it, but I loved the art style and the community mods that are out there.

UnfortunateTwist,

Started playing Lost Judgment, interspersed with Baldur’s Gate 3 whenever I can play with my friend.

Have been glued to BG3 for quite a bit now. I am thinking about booting up the old Portal games again, just as a small break.

Seathru,

Still on a space game kick. Finished up Freelancer and started playing No Man’s Sky’s recent “Voyagers” expedition. It’s still got over a month left so I highly recommend checking it out if you haven’t played the game in a while. Just to see whats new; It’s come a long way.

And picked up Hardspace: Shipbreaker on sale for when NMS starts getting monotonous.

Ashtear,

Ooh, was this your first time with Freelancer? It’s amazing that it’s twenty years later and it might still be the benchmark for non-HOTAS space sims.

I enjoyed Shipbreaker much more than I thought I would. Not typically my style of gameplay, but the setting is fantastic.

Seathru,

No, I played it at release and was HOOKED. I remember clearing a 3 day holiday weekend so I could play through the whole thing (for the second or third time) in one sitting.

I had somehow missed that a HD remaster was released a couple years ago, so I gave it a shot and got sucked right back in. Still a fantastic game, even if the cut scenes and voice acting are a little dated.

For anyone who hasn’t played it, it’s abandonware now.

PorkTaco,

Undead Nightmare on PC emulated with Xenia. Had just finished the original Red Dead Redemption using the same. Finally went for it when Rockstar made it obvious there wasn’t going to be a PC remaster (and I upgraded my PC so I could play it at non potato fps since emulating is pretty intense). Had just started Cyberpunk 2077 but had stopped as I didn’t want to get too far along since the new expansion was going to add/change a lot.

Anyway it was awesome to finally play RDR. Always wanted to but never had a console (nor did I want one) to play it on. Undead Nightmare looks to be good fun too though I’m maybe just an hour into it. Just killing time til Cyberpunk expansion drops.

RogbertwasmyEvename,

Palia. I saw a reference to this multiplayer online game on a news site. I’m an older player and enjoy the calm, combat-free experience. There’s a lot of grinding, though. On a different note, has anyone who is playing Starfield also played Space Engineers or Empyrion Galactic Survival? I’ve played both and wonder how it compares to them.

acastcandream,

Baldur’s Gate has held a month-long vice grip on me that will finally come to a close in idk 30-40 more hours when I finish act 3 ololololol
