The Weekly 'What are you playing?' Discussion - 20-07-2023

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.

boardgamesareawesome,

Battlebit, it’s everything I wanted in the latest Battlefield titles and more, but made by 3 indie devs. Map votes, weapon attachments, classes, local voice chat, destruction, scoreboard, night mode on all maps… It’s great.

pagshile,

I just can’t get it to “click” for me and I don’t know why; I should love it. I shall persevere.

DillonBrooksEnjoyer,

Cheat code for having maximum fun is to make death noises over local chat whenever you’re shot.

Kalanosh,

Agreed

Yewb,

Dude yeah battlebit is amazing!

NotAPenguin,

The top rated comment on here when it first came out was "Everyone talking positively about it must be a shill, there's no way a game can be that good"

It really just is that good!

Jagged Alliance 3. New game from Haemimont (Tropico/Surviving Mars). It's way different than those other two games, but I'm enjoying it so far.

dman99,

Just finished Rayman Origins. Nearly a decade old but the game still looks incredible. Moving on to Zelda Link Between Worlds on 3DS now

VioletteRei,

Currently in 2.3 in FFXIV, still having so much fun with it

Katana314,

I’ve been playing Exoprimal. I definitely wouldn’t have paid $60 for it, but it’s actually pretty fun - even though it’s primarily PVE, it really scratches the role-based hero gameplay I wanted out of Overwatch’s smoking wreck. In fact, keeping the shift primarily away from PVP (usually until endgame of each round) makes it so if you’re getting bodied by a much better team, you still get to play before having your group inefficiencies exposed at the end. That’s much better than an entire match being miserable with constant respawning.

VioletteRei,

Reviewers told that after 10 hours they didn’t want to play more, when you will it 10 hours, tell ke if you are still interested in it because I want to play it but I don’t want to waste 60 bucks

Sharan,

Currently Dave The Diver. Vampire Survivors here and there when I need a quick fix. And Two Dots on the mobile phone. Been playing it for two days, which makes it pretty good.

uncouthterran,

Just started Dave the Diver, about 15 hours in. It has a fair bit of content and the “mini games” don’t feel too out of place.

Also felt the itch to spin up a new minecraft mod pack instance, so I started feed the factory, a mod pack inspired by factorio. Encourages you to build big systems in bulk with rows and rows of massive machines. Very satisfying. I also hate dealing with mobs, and the mod pack is basically in peaceful mode, focusing primarily on building, so it’s right up my alley.

Bassman1805,

Any map-staring enthusiasts? I’ve been playing Europa Universals 4 lately.

Started as Ethiopia, got up to Egypt before the Ottomans but they got Syria. I got all of the Arabian Peninsula and nearly all of East/Central Africa, but I’ve been so behind in tech that I can’t actually challenge the Ottos (kept them at bay by allying a strong Poland/Commonwealth). Finally, around 1600 I’m caught up and about to start making my final push towards Constantinople.

Picked up a copy of battlebit 2 weeks ago. Managed to get maybe one hour in so far.

GeoGio7,

Been playing wrath of the righteous and Ghost Of Tsushima

Kaleunt17,

BattleBit and Fifa23

Nova Drift - a survivor/rogue like x asteroids space shooter. I consistently reach wave 200 every run and still try to git good enough to get beyond wave 300 every run. This game just won´t let go of me.

Lmaydev,

Always playing Kenshi. Just can’t put it down.

Also just reinstalled Seven Kingdoms AA for the 100th time. Still one of my favourite games.

Gnubyte,

I’ve been playing a lot of rainbow six siege quick play and call of duty MW2’s DMZ game modes. I feel like one gives me the tactical fair shooter, and the other gives me a meaningfully paced combat loop.

Im a little pissed that the battle pass for diablo 4 doesn’t work with my regular character. I just feel so estranged from that game since it costed so much and the combat and tasks just felt so dry. I guess the upside is that I have 90 days of the pass to hack away at it which isn’t terribly pressing. I just wish their monetization strategy was like Halo Infinites battle passes where you could choose which one to progress on.
