Have you been spending hours trying to pass a level? Or maybe you are completely addicted to a newly bought game. Do you have a question about a game or would like to share something else? In the Weekly Discussion Thread, you can do it all!
Please don’t forget to use the spoiler tag as soon as you start talking about a storyline.
Just got to Act III in Baldur’s Gate 3, and god damnit is it good. I played and loved the original 2 games when they came out, but I didn’t have the time to devote time to it when it came out on consoles in the summer. Glad I waited, and even more pleased that it lived up to the hype (and then some)!
I also started the Valhalla DLC for God of War Ragnarok, and it’s OUTSTANDING. it’s a great palette cleanser in between BG3 or if I just want a short play session since the runs are only 20 minutes or so. The Roguelite formula is perfect for GoW, and I’m really hoping more AAA games try something similar to extend their lifespan. I highly recommend checking it out.
Fallout new vegas. It’s suprisingly good. Tho, it is a Vlašič, after all.
Just finished playing Hogwarts Legacy. The last main quest was a bit of a stretch imo. I mean “The House Cup” where you have to reach level 34 before you are able to enter it. I was getting a bit frustrated I had to grind for that… Now I can take something else from my queue. Maybe Firewatch, or Thief.
Firewatch is short and enjoyable. You’ll be able to rip through it.
I’m playing Barotrauma and Lethal Company lately. Both very fun coop games. We need more coop games, I don’t know why devs don’t make them as much anymore
I’ve picked up BG3 and I’m making bad decisions.
I gave Shadowheart a big green beret hat and now she does slam poetry.
I also tried CoD but it got boring pretty quickly.
Baldur’s Gate 3.
Just picked it up, never played other cRPGs or D&D but I’m really enjoying it! Not doing a lot of quests yet but just exploring. Combat is quite difficult to understand sometimes because it has so many rules I’m not used too, but I’d like to think I’m learning slowly.
The rest and spell slot mechanic is also quite interesting, as it forces me to not pick too many fights before taking a long rest. This is totally new to me 😅
For anyone interesting I’m playing as a human conjuration wizard and my party is Astarion (arcane trickster), Shadowheart and Lae’zel (battle master).
Contemplating Divinity Original Sin 2. Pretty new to cRPGs and just thinking about it feels daunting :)
Otherwise I’m bouncing between Dave the Diver, Sea of Thieves and RoboQuest
Because that youve mentioned divinity original sin 2, I think you should also check out pathfinder wrath of the righteous. The game is currently on sale and I think that the characters in this game are amazing. I had a crpg itch around a month ago and now I’m glued to this game.
Picked up Control again. Had a couple people get me interested in Alan Wake 2, and I’d already played through half of Control earlier in the year before I lost interest. I’m more into it now. Not planning on playing the first Alan Wake, but I’m playing the crossover DLC in this right now.
got a handful of games in the steam sale, and I’m currently about halfway through bugsnax - it’s really enjoyable so far. planning to start either hypnospace outlaw or the new ultrakill update after.
Baldur’s Gate 3. Kids got it for me for Christmas, thoroughly enjoying every bit of it so far
Finally starting my horizon playthrough on PC. Such a gorgeous game so far!
I’ve spent close to 20 hours in Jedi: Survivor. It runs surprisingly well on medium with my 1060 6GB, getting 30-40 fps except when in the desert. The game itself is really fun, an improvement on basically every aspect of the first one.
I never got anywhere near finishing Nier Automata so I’m doing that. A little Dave the Diver on the side.
Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead. I’ve played it at least 100 hours and still have no idea how anyone survives a scenario besides the default shelter one, took me a long time to even figure that one out.
Currently playing Until Dawn. Really interesting seeing your choices play out.
