Started playing Baldur’s Gare 3 a couple of days ago. Finally got my character created.

My girlfriend loves teasing me about how long it took for me to decide on a character. Playing a druid and have absolutely no regrets. Love talking to animals!

The only things I get fomo over are mechanics I discovered a bit later or didn’t remember to use in certain situations. My mind is continually blown by the depth and versatility of Baldur’s Gate 3.

Conyak ,

I actually restarted two times because I changed my mind. I finally just accepted that I will be doing multiple play throughs.

Yeah, I still haven’t thought about what I’d want to do for the next playthrough, but I’m sure I’ll discover more about my preferences as I keep playing my moon druid.

Definitely went into it with a “okay this is gonna be a slice of the game and I’m okay with that” mentality so I don’t think I feel as much pressure from class constraints.

I do wanna get more into the martial classes, but the companions are good enough to scratch that itch currently. I’m loving that you can respec if you really want, but I’d probably just use that to swap specializations for some of my companions anyway.

Just started The Case of the Golden Idol a few days ago, and I think my brain is going to melt any moment now lmao

SnowGator ,

I can definitely see the brain tiredness! I blasted through in a couple days and probably would have enjoyed it even more if I’d slowed down haha. It’s such a gem of a game. I wish there was more like it, but the only game that gave me the same feeling is Return of the Obra Dinn.

specseaweed ,

BG3 with the wife, Diablo 4 with my brother, Hades by myself. It’s the golden age of gaming, friends.

SnowGator ,

Seriously. I’m never upset about a game delay these days because there are already so many games to play that I literally will not be able to get to in my lifetime. I’m still mostly catching up on games from the last few years and can’t imagine when I’ll even get to most 2023 games!

specseaweed ,

One of my kids is playing Joust on the Atari and the other is on the last dungeon in NES Legend of Zelda. They play Grounded on PC together. My daughter is really into Crusader Kings 3. And my son will never stop playing Minecraft with his buddies.

You could never touch a game from the 2020’s ever and still never run out of great games.

I’m rotating between 3 not so new but fun games: Hades, Remnant: from the ashes and Celeste…

A20sidedninja ,

All 3 are amazing!

Girlfriend and I have been playing through the Zelda games. She’s playing Twilight Princess, and I’m playing Breath of the Wild.

the outer worlds and fallout 4 in preparation for starfield and phantom liberty, I can’t wait 😩

TheTeaMonster ,

Shoot, that’s a good idea - I need to get on those before it comes out as well! Such entertaining games.

RedForFred ,

Played the Payday 3 beta on and off a bit, I love the feel honestly. Much more like 1 than 2 I think. Other than that, Rimworld had a new mod for vehicles drop so I’ve been playing around with that too. A little buggy but otherwise a great addition and an opportunity to role play a max max colony!

Mononon ,

Trying to finish Final Fantasy 16 this week. I’m about to start the final quests after I finish up some side stuff. It’s kind of crazy how different the side quests at the end are compared to the beginning. They’re so much better with a ton of character development.

Also working my way through Pikmin 4. Loving every second of that one. It’s just kind pure joy in game form. So colorful and fun.

Will probably try to max out my season pass in Destiny 2 as well, if I have time. The game is about as boring as it’s ever been, but I’m too deep to stop now. May as well play until Final Shape then hopefully call it a day on that one.

TheDubz87 ,

Remnant 2 has been occupying most of my free time lately.

Syll ,

BG3 - finally got myself out of the early access area

JackbyDev ,

Is that where the Gith is? If so I’m still in the ea area lol but I never played it.

Syll ,

Yes

Blubber28 ,

Same here. I’m about to enter the Underdark and I’m very excited!

Syll ,

Nice, I had a blast in the underdark

I’m casually playing through season one of Diablo IV. I’m trying Necro out and it’s been pretty fun

papafoss ,

Just started Deadline. Pretty fun rouge like FPS that runs well in proton.

sirfancy ,

I think you meant Deadlink, but yeah that’s what I was gonna put too. Really gripping. Dying in it gives you that bittersweet push to make you want to try again.

papafoss ,

Yep it’s like if Doom and Hades had a kid that is going through a cyberpunk phase.

It also looks really good!

sirfancy ,

For sure! It seems like DX 12 mode has raytracing and it really adds a lot of polish.

papafoss ,

Might try it! I am running it on linux through proton. Which in its default mode it preforms pretty dang good. Its really amazing how optimized the indie games coming out now are vs what we get with triple A

bungle_in_the_jungle ,

BG3, Tales of Arise, and doing my dailies in Genshin Impact.

Finally bought Last of Us part 1 remaster for PC. Loving the nostalgia and they really did a great job with the graphics etc. def doesn’t feel like playing a 10 year old game.

I started playing Pillars of Eternity II about a month ago, then I was gifted BG3… and dammit, I’m going to finish PoE first. It’s a very enjoyable game. Lighter in tone than the first one and a bit less brutal with the lore. This time I have a good idea who the pantheon are, but I still occasionally find myself confused about people and place names. I used my saves from the first game to start this one, but I have very little recollection of what the hell I did back then, so maybe I should have started fresh.
