The Weekly 'What are you playing?' Discussion - 27-07-2023

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.

Mangoholic,

Remnant 2 pretty good so far. Also really… don’t start your run on nightmare difficulty. Not so fun.

Battlebit and Trackmania mostly right now

nogrub,

just redownloaded fallout 4 with around 250 mods it’s just bonkers to me what modders are doing with that game

Deestan,

Xenonauts 2 Early Access - got to the end of playable content.

What is there already is solid, and I have no doubts the full game will be really good. It feels like somewhere between 30-50% along the plot has been added. The game on display right now is not worth the listed price, so anyone not super duper interested in seeing it take form along the way should hold off until release.

Nelots,

Finally started playing Chrono Trigger. I’ve never been a huge fan of older games or JRPGs, but what I heard about the quality of the game and it’s story interested me enough to give it a shot regardless. So far I’m actually enjoying it a lot!

Deestan,

Citizen Sleeper. Really enjoyable sci-fi-writing and chill gameplay.

raptir,

I gave in and bought Diablo 4. I haven’t gotten to the endgame but I’m having a lot of fun playing through the campaign so far.

Lord_Logjam,

I used £35 of Microsoft Rewards points and picked up Remnant 2 on whim. Didn’t play the first one but I’m really enjoying this so far.

MoonManKipper,

Jagged Alliance 3 - very good sequel to JA2, more of the same with enough tweaks to make it fun and the campaign has thrown enough curve balls to keep me interested. Like the original it doesn’t hold your hand, which is good. Strongly recommend if you liked the original

RovingFox,

Returned to Warframe after a long time and got blasted with so much content it is difficult to decide where to start.

It is fun tho, and much more enjoyable because I have so many possibilities of content to enjoy.

HollowNotion,

Could we add a date to the titles going forward, rather than numbering them? I was attempting to start this weekly discussion myself, and have been posting it on Sundays for the last few weeks, but I’d be happy to cede to this thread from you if you’d like, @quinten

Why exactly do you prefer the date?

HollowNotion,

Mostly for reference later on down the line. I’ve used threads like this several times to see what people are saying about more recent games, and it’s nice to have the date in the thread title to more easily contextualize the comments. Just a suggestion in case anyone else uses these threads like I do.

Good point. From now on we will mention the date in the title. For future reference, you can find all posts here.

curryandbeans,

Remnant 2

I enjoyed the first but didn’t complete it. Remnant 2 has much the same AA jank but it’s fun as hell.

Dassen,

Just finished Dave the diver, was a bit longer then expected (30hr)

Thinking about eastward of Mutazion next

brenno,

Playing Factorio for the second time, now enabling enemies. Really fun game

CADmonkey,

I’ve started playing Techtonica, or if you prefer, “underground satisfactory”. One interesting mechanic is that research creates a sort of bulky waste product and you have to find a place for it.
