OofN,

I finally beat Grounded - such a fun game. I happily played almost 60 hours with only a few complaints.

Now I’m playing Yakuza: Like a Dragon. I played Yakuza 0 then jumped straight to LAD, which I think was the right call. It balances the line of not taking myself seriously but really being enjoyable to play. I also love how Game Pass Cloud syncs with my Xbox Series X cloud save, so I can play it on the Steam Deck really easily.

I’ve also been super sucked into EVE Online - I played like 10 year ago and it’s been really fun to jump back in.

zybir,

I’ve been playing Turnip Boy robs a bank, and it’s been delightful. I’ve also been playing a lot of CS2.

WhyAUsername_1,

Final fantasy vii rebirth demo.

UnPassive,

Brother and I are playing Ark Survival Evolved this week. Wanna actually beat the island finally

Lesrid,

I’ve been obsessed with Helldivers 2 since release. Thankfully the patches are coming along and the game gets a bit more stable every day.

Jakeroxs,

Across the Obelisk again, haven’t played much since the last two DLC so it’s cool learning some new strats

WR5,

Just started new game+ run of Lies of P! It’s really smooth polished, as a fan of the Dark Souls series I really enjoy it.

Newhue,

With some of the news around Kojima’s upcoming projects I picked up Death Stranding Directors Cut and have been playing in my spare time. When the original came out I couldn’t get into it and stopped playing after a few hours. This time around I’ve pushed past where I left off and it became way more enjoyable for me. Now I’m very excited to pick up and play a few hours here and there!

Fucking Palworld exclusively. I’m at a point where I’m actively looking for exploits for the fun of it. Send halp

trackcharlie,

Rimworld, palworld, armored core vi, ready or not, cp2077 and metro

TwilightVulpine,

Finally got to Act 3 of Baldur’s Gate 3 while playing in co-op. It’s a little overwhelming now, so much stuff every which way.

I also started Yakuza Like a Dragon. Ichiban is just wild, such a different vibe of protagonist compared to Kiryu.

caut_R,

I‘m playing Monster Hunter World a worrying amount…

Also some CoDBO3 Zombies, a very fun mode too - better than the rest of the game honestly.

dumpsterlid,

I‘m playing Monster Hunter World a worrying amount…

I mean going outside and family are important or whatevvvverrr, but also there is no guarantee whatever reality we zoom off to when we die will have Monster Hunter World. Play the shit out of now don’t be a fool and put off the important experiences in life.

AgentGrimstone,

Finally started Elden Ring, about 25 hours in. I’m having a blast but why oh why is every cool weapon an STR weapon. Where my DEX weapons at??? (Not really asking, just whining)

WR5,

I played through on a STR build, but I heard some people like the Reduvia and Black Knife for how quick they are and movesets. I never used them myself.

AgentGrimstone,

I was using the Reduvia for a little while but then I found Hookclaws which are even faster so I mostly use that now.

What I really want is an Uchigatana and I know there is one because I found a merchant selling a samurai set so no way that sword doesn’t exist. It’s gonna feel like Christmas once I come across it.

WR5,

Oh for sure. I started as a Samurai class so began with that weapon but soon changed as I started leveling STR later on! I’m sure it’s available elsewhere than just as a starter weapon.

Uchigatana is available, but it’s easy to miss if you’re playing without spoilers. Great sword. I use it almost exclusively for a hybrid DEX/STR bleed build.

Mild SpoilerIt’s tucked away in an early dungeon behind a hard to see passage. It’s not a boss reward so even if you’re finding all the dungeons it won’t be obvious that you missed it. Good luck!

AgentGrimstone,

Yeah I’m doing a complete blind run for a genuine first time playthrough. I’m even playing offline so I don’t see player messages saying where all the secrets are but thank you for at least confirming it’s in the game. I’m planning to go back and comb through the previous zones for anything I could have missed before moving onto the eastern side of the map. Hopefully I’ll run into it, if not I don’t mind going straight for it in NG+.

PopMyCop,

Do you have any friends that play? If you do, and don’t like the way summoning works, I totally, completely recommend the seamless coop mod. It was amazing.

Dex weapons will come, don’t you worry.

AgentGrimstone,

I’m on console so unfortunately, no mods for me. It’s fine, Oleg keeps me company.

PopMyCop,

Lol, fair. Shoot a DM if you ever want a summon sign.
