My son bought Cyberpunk 2077 on sale. I got hooked immediately.
I just started it too. It’s a ton of fun.
Playing horizon zero dawn atm. Got easy red 2 and battle front 2 and road craft for multiplayer with my group
Finally playing through all the Hitman reboots in one go (They’re called 1-2-3, or now “World Of Assassination” for the whole experience, plus paid DLCs for additional missions). I played through all the original Hitman games back in the day.
While you can of course cheese your way through each mission pretty easily (NPC: “Well, he only held that weapon in his hand for less than 2 seconds, so I’ll ignore it.” or “Oh, coins on the ground! Better open that locked door to get to them so that you can follow me inside!”), it actually IS a lot of fun if you deliberately take it slow and discover all the stories that are hidden in each mission. It opens up crafty ways of getting to your targets & entertains much more than just exploiting the game engine’s weaknesses. Truly something for #patientGamers
If you combine my hours for all three since it’s all a collection now anyway, it’s my second most played game of all time, only behind Skyrim. I’m a massive fan. How far along are you?
Just started No man sky, first play through. I’m still not sure what I think of it. It seems too be a time guzzler. On one hand it must be entertaining because 4 hours past in the blink of an eye. On the other I don’t feel like I’ve done or seen much. Time seem to be the main currency behind most things you do .
No Mans Sky is totally a time guzzler. It’s incredible how easy it is for hours and hours to go by like it’s nothing. It’s a really fun game though, and I’ve sunk hundreds of hours into it.
I did one playthrough shortly after it came out doing things the way you’re supposed to, and then I decided to just have fun with it and started using a save editor to give myself all the resources that take ages to farm or craft. That was a game changer. It’s so much more fun when I can just explore and build without having to worry about not having enough fuel for my jetpack, or not being able to finish a building because I don’t have enough resources for that one last piece of glass, or having to salvage a fuckton of ships just to open up inventory slots.
So if the game ever starts to feel like work for you, I suggest using a save editor and going to town. The devs don’t seem to have much of a problem with it, and it really opens up the game.
Sim city 4
still Morrowind in XR. having fun just wandering around again.
also Vintage Story. chill minecraft flip but more. wandering around public rooms seeing what is up.
Pokémon Emerald. I got an rg35xxsp, which has been perfect for getting through all the games I missed over the years.
Nice, enjoy. I’m a total Pokémon nerd for gens 1-4. Gen 2 + remakes takes the cake for me, but Emerald would be next up. It’s probably objectively the best game in the series (that or Platinum) but I’m super nostalgic for Johto. SoulSilver will forever be my favourite Nintendo game.
Continued playing Metro 2033 Redux.
Terraria
Dysmantle has me looking for skulls and tires to crush.
Been working my way through the achievements for State of Decay 2, I’ve almost got all the supplies gathered up in my community to speedrun through the last two legacies on the hardest difficulty.
It’s a really solid zombie survival, that walks a nice balance of not having standard survival micromanagement. Accessible(fun) combat, and some expression in base/resource management but not to the point where it dominates moment to moment play. Hits the good middle ground of permadeath in terms of losing survivors, but still having a community so you’re not losing all your resources/progress.
I’ve been playing some Bomberman.
I feel like I’ve started so many games these past weeks and months but haven’t stuck with any… but I guess nothing new for me really as I never finish games anyway.
After finishing Nier Automata in my Switch (quite an awesome port tbh, I cheated a bit as I overclocked my unit to make it run smoother) and Breath of The Wild I am focusing on smaller games, which are:
- Monument Valley (Android)
- Retro City Rampage (PS Vita)
- Pokémon Omega Ruby (almost finished, 3DS).
I haven’t played Retro City Rampage before but Monument Valley was awesome, and so was Omega Ruby.
i played a bit of fallout 4, but i dont really understand the hype that was around it. its a loading screen simulator with an awful city repair element slapped on top.
not a huge fan :/
it sucks… i really enjoyed all of the previous fallouts i played (FO1, FO2, FO:BoS, FO3) and expected something better.
You’ve played every Fallout except for New Vegas? How come you skipped that particular one?
new vegas, there was a mobile one, and i think there was an only-online one that i missed.
just never got around to playing those. my backlog is mighty, and FO4 was a freebie i picked up within the last year or two.
You’re right, Fallout Shelter for mobile and I guess I forgot about 76. I was thinking “mainline” Fallouts.
New Vegas is an amazing game with an even more amazing modding scene. Absolutely recommend you getting to it down the line, it’s a bit closer to the OG Fallouts than the Bethesda ones. Superb DLCs as well, all of them really good.
Does a just released mega patch to a 25 year old game count? If so, the 25th Anniversary edition of System Shock 2 is great.
