I just picked up Shadow of the Tomb Raider after not having touched a Tomb Raider game since PS1, and still never finishing them. It’s pretty good! It feels a lot like God of War but with Lara Croft. Makes me want to pick up the previous iterations to get more of the story, since I’m a bit lost, but it’s easy to fill in some of the blanks.

Path of Exile, BG3, Last epoch…

Armored core 6. Finished one ending yesterday and on ng+ today. I’m way more invested in faceless characters than I thought I could be and there was an unexpected anime like fight that hit me in the feels

Recently just got into Tunic! Amazing game!

Crab champions and classic wow

USSEthernet ,

Crab champions is great. I love Noisestorm’s music.

Diablo 3 season 29 started last Friday and loving it!

Finally solo self found leaderboards!

Also enjoying the seasons theme, small areas with random mobs, elites, gobs and rift guardians.

Having more fun than playing D4.

Funnily enough playing BotW on CEMU was what got me to get a switch, it was just so good I wanted to play it without any caveats or messing with settings or working around the gyro controls and the allure of playing it portably anywhere was high.

bighatchester ,

The only problem I’m having now is the gyro controls . Only found one temple so far that needs it but I’ll probably be able to get that works with one of my controllers .

Yakuza: Like a Dragon! It's on steam sale for $12 reg version, but I bought the Hero Edition for $14. It has two extra job classes and something else I've forgotten. I'm 4 hours in and it's been a LOT of character and plot set up while just scratching the surface of their turn-based combat. The story is pretty good so far and full of Japan's particular brand of uncanny fringe humor that I'm expecting to snowball as time goes on.

Starfield and Final Fantasy 14. Both have been hard to find time for with general lack of time in life.

  • Starfield: still enjoying it a lot. I know it is going to bore me eventually, but for now the exploration and personal narrative I’ve been rolling with have been enough to keep me interested.
  • FF14: My static fell apart and we’ve given up on Savage raiding for this tier. There is a huge backlog of activities I haven’t been able to do this whole time while Savage prog occupied 90% of my time in-game, but now I can’t choose where to start.
hubobes ,

Starfield, BG3, Battlefield 2042. Whenever I actually get time to play any of them.

Destraight ,

Trying to beat the high alchemist in Noita, but I haven’t been able to find a personal fireball thrower spell to stick on the high alchemist. I mostly end up dying anyways through normal progression

sternail ,

Replaying red dead redemption 2 for the third or fourth time, just chilling around in chapter 4. and some battlefield one multiplayer.

ezures ,

Trying to get all the tags in Bomb Rush Cyberfunk. Getting close, but sone spot are well hidden.

ShittyRedditWasBetter ,

Just quit bg3 because it was too buggy. I literally can’t beat the final boss so fuck larian hard in that regard. They are getting a real free pass on bugs due to pent up DND demand.

Onto starfield which is probably going to be a mess too 😑

@MrPoopyButthole@lemmy.world avatar

I also quit it, we can share the downvotes lmao

Starfield and Brotato

Getting bored. Starfield is just a buggy mediocre FPS. Everything else in it is giving me serious ‘no man’s sky’ vibes and not in a good way.

Starfield is a classic case of some misleading marketing on purpose, and, well, it just falls into the perpetually doomed category of games/media that will always suffer from extremely high expectations: sci-fi/space/cyberpunk. The imagination wanders especially far with games like these, and there's little to none us, the consumers, and they, the devs and publishers, can ever do about it.

That being said, you're right in not praising the game. It's a niche fun in my opinion, and only shines if you take it for what it is, but not for what it seemed to have been marketed as.

TL;DR Stafield is a Bethesda game through and through, but with a coating some Microsoft PG-13 "play it safe" attitude.
