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.
Currently playing “Dave the Diver”. The game is therapeutic :) Some parts require serious thinking and reaction but most of it allows you to just turn off your brain and relax.
Just finished 100%ing all achievements in Factorio. Got the speedrun achievements over the weekend, and let my original factory run overnight for a few days to grind out the 20m green circuits.
Still got the itch to play more factory sim. Debating whether to dip my toes into Dyson Sphere Program or try my hand at the Space Exploration mod for Factorio.
I’m a bit leery of Satisfactory due to the first person perspective. Watched a few gameplay videos and I don’t think it works for the genre, at least not to my taste.
I’ll probably break down and pick it up eventually, but I don’t plan on it anytime soon.
Still playing Baldur’s Gate 3. I was fully planning on picking up Persona 5 Tactica at release but I was immediately turned off once I heard about Day 1 DLC. Really not okay. The reviews are mediocre and I’m also hearing that it’s short. I’ll probably pick it up on a sale.
Anyway, in BG3, I keep wanting to tinker with new builds and see places/story branches I missed the first three times. I don’t think an RPG has put me in replay mode like this since Final Fantasy Tactics. It’s pretty nuts.
I also restarted my subscription to World of Warcraft: Dragonflight to see the last raid and the end of the story for the expansion. I’ve never been so disinterested on resub like I am this time. I’m getting currencies thrown at me with little explanation, the community is still toxic as hell, and I’m just not into the story.
I circled back to vanilla no DLC RimWorld. I’ve owned the game for years, have quite a bit of time in Dwarf Fortress, but due to the fact I tried to mod the game right away it didn’t hook me. Turns out it’s really hard to learn a game and look stuff up when you have 200+ mods that alter things in tiny ways to make them completely different than base game. New colony is going strong! Just finished unlocking the advanced research bench, stable food source, strong outer walls. Such a fun game. I’ve been missing out. If anyone has any beginner tips or anything let me know. I’m gonna try to make it all the way and build the space ship!
That’s one of an important rule for me in every game, never mod a game before doing a vanilla run first. You won’t understand what a mod is changing until you know what’s the vanilla behavior. Especially for games like rimworld with 500+ mods, you gotta know every aspect on what the mod changes and what are the mods that can be clashing.
You can try a small list of qol mods tho, once you get used to some its impossible to play without them. And keep trying, you will eventually get there once you understand every possible problem and how to tackle or avoid it.
I started playing ATOM RPG again. I tried once a few months ago but my build made the game very unfun. I looked up a guide to a hood starter build and hope that helps me see what other people see in it.
Talos Principle 2 is just… wow. It’s been years since I played the first game and it’s remarkable how fast the sequel was able to get me back in the space of “I’m here to solve puzzles and argue philosophy…”. Everything I loved about Talos Principle has been polished or expanded, and the way the writers somehow managed to get me to accept that we need to solve a bunch of puzzles to advance the plot - AGAIN - is impressive.
Love it! The puzzle design is extremely good, almost nothing feels finnicky or overly complicated. The story got me good and I enjoy thinking about the specific themes it goes into. I’m only sad that apparently I wasn’t sufficiently convincing for ma boi Yakut.
Monster Hunter Rise. Just got into Sunbreak a few days ago. This is the first one I've really been branching out on weapons since I started in 3U. Gunlance and hammer are proving to be super fun, on top of my original love: SNS.
