Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of May 12th

What are you all playing! I beat thousand year door! Really amazing game. I understand why it is so beloved.

I also started and am almost done with the original fallout. Probably the 20th time I’ve tried to get into it and I was actually able to this time! Once I’m done with that I want to start Animal Well

Sniper Elite 5. I played V2 way back and fancied an updated experience. Going reasonably well so far and that x-ray cam experience remains gnarly.

Just finish playing Final Fantasy VII Remake and crisis core, hoping Rebirth comes out on PC soon

I'm really waiting for Rebirth on Steam. I've been thinking about replaying FF7R, but am putting it off until Rebirth comes out.

Trying my hardest to get Legoland, a 2000s game to run on Wine. Now it only crashes when you don’t skip a cut scene or when you try to open the map

Dark Souls remastered. Getting cursed just before reaching a boss and having no money to buy a cure forced me to either give up, grind, or “get gud.”

I beat the boss without getting hit once. I know other people probably do that for every boss but for me that’s a big achievement since I suck at combat and video games in general.

In other news, the game is hard but beautiful and the level design is pretty impressive. I’m looking forward to marathoning the other souls games after this.

I’m about 60% through Ori and the Blind forest. Its curently scratching an itch I have for metroidvania games.

However, I learned that instead of patching the original game or releasing a DLC, they just made a re-release and im not buying the game a second time just for a new area and some improved QoL with fast travel.

I’m further behind in Ori but I’m enjoying it greatly. I’m not a big metroidvania aficionado, but I played and loved Hollow Knight despite it’s difficulty (some of the bosses really tested my tolerance for punishment). I appreciate that Ori is (so far) a more accessible game.

Godort ,

I started Ori specifically because I didnt want to endlessly throw myself at Soul Master and the Watcher Knights again.

ConstableJelly ,

Watcher Knights I think are near the top of my list. I just rewatched my recording of beating them and I was fumbling so badly lol. It’s obvious I’m running with the “pure desperation” tactic rather a more skillful approach, but it finally managed to work out.

I was addicted to exploring that world but I am satisfied with the one playthrough I think.

Berttheduck ,

My wife was playing Ori around its release, we both got stuck on the first tree escape, where it floods. Absolutely massive difficulty spike for a relatively chill game to that point. Beautiful game though and I love the sound track.

Krucian ,

Just finished American McGee’s Alice. I have not played this since I first played it the year it came out (2000). I have not had this much fun with a game in a while. Also, have not experienced the drive to finish a game like I did this one in a good long while.

The game is janky and difficult to control but I just found it so much fun and the atmosphere of the game is fantastic.

I cannot wait to replay the sequel.

Daxter on PSP and Diablo IV.

I’m getting back into Cassette Beasts and still am playing my comfort game, NFS Hot Pursuit 2

Excited for the Cassette Beasts update next week? I've been checking to see if it'd go on sale for a few weeks/months now but I'm guessing it isn't likely to with a major update on the way. Not sure if I should pick it up or wait for the next sale, how are you finding it? Been wanting to play a creature collector recently after watching so much Persona 3 but haven't wanted to go back to my digimon/persona playthroughs

SimplyTadpole ,
@SimplyTadpole@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Honestly I’m very much a hermit plus I play the game very heavily modded, so I’m indifferent about the update if not worried it might break my mods lol

I think it’s absolutely amazing and I don’t regret spending money on it at all! Maybe it might be worth seeing if it’ll go on sale when the update releases just in case, but if not then I think it’s worth a full-price buy imo.

Thassodar ,

Just got access to Baldur’s Gate 3 through family share. Reminds me of Neverwinter Nights from the early 2000s, but I haven’t played a game like it since (unless you include Dragon Age).

Also getting back into Binding of Isaac and Slay the Spire.

adonkeystomple ,

I’ve been playing a lot of The Finals and been really enjoying it.

FeelThePower ,

Modded run of fallout New Vegas at the moment. Probably gonna get the fallout 4 season pass as well.

magic_lobster_party ,

Currently playing Dark Souls 3. Haven’t played it before, so I guess it’s a good time to check it off the list. I guess I’m near the end now.

I’m a bit disappointed by its linearity. It’s way more linear compared to Dark Souls. It’s also pretty easy compared to Elden Ring. I’m just using a base build. Mostly leveling up on strength stat without much thought.

I’m still enjoying the game though.

I think DS3 is great in its own way and has some awesome areas, but it’s hard to compare anything to the first half of Dark Souls. That level design is just something else.

What I like about DS3 compared to ER is there are a lot less delayed attacks and fakeouts. I get that FromSoft needs to constantly up the challenge but it makes it harder to get the same kind of enjoyable combat flow, at least for me. DS3 has some bosses that are just so enjoyable, even though they’re not super hard.

Oh and, don’t know if you’ve done them yet but the DLCs should be more challenging than the main game, if that’s what you’re after.

I’m about 1/3 of the way through Jedi Fallen Order.

It’s a lot of fun.

I’ve also been in VR a lot this week, watching The Faceless Lady in the creepy cabin on Meta Horizon, and last night I went to a Doja Cat concert in VR too.

I caved into my urges and started playing Baldurs Gate 3 again, this time as a dark urge

I finished it for the first time a few weeks ago and have wanted to do nothing but play it again but I never replay games like ever. I held out for as long as I could but no other game was calling to me like BG3

I never understood how people could keep replaying games, I always thought the new game+ concept was pointless but now I get it, now I understand why people have put thousands of hours into Skyrim

I nearly never even bothered to try BG3 because I’ve never played anything with turn based mechanics and I know nothing about D&D but now its all I want to play, I’m worried I’ll never want to play anything else again lol

Turmbaumeister ,

I’m like you, I never replay games but I’ve made exceptions for BG3 and LoP last year, well worth it!

ISOmorph ,

I played a resist durge and I get the feeling I saw like at least 80% of the game. I might do a murder hobo illithid run at some point, where I drag all my origin companions to the dark side. But another 100 hour run just to see the remaining 20%… I don’t know, seems like work.
