I just finished Sonic the Hedgehog last evening and I’m trying to decide what I want to play next!

theangriestbird ,

i heard they made a sequel for that one. not many people know about it!

stargazingpenguin ,

Hmm, some of those little known games can be half decent sometimes! ;-) I do have Sonic 2, but I think I’m going to wait a bit. Even though I enjoy the games I’m not that good at them, so by the time I finished it I need a break!

theVerdantOne ,

I’m getting ready to play Sonic Delta, a Sonic 3 ROM hack that allows you to play all three Genesis sonic games back to back.

stargazingpenguin ,

Sounds interesting!

theangriestbird ,

hmmm that sounds intriguing…i wonder if it has any retroachievements? a surprising number of romhacks do have achievement sets. i want to check but the site is down rn 😭

stargazingpenguin ,

It’s back up! retroachievements.org/game/14772

I was in the middle of playing Zelda when the servers went down yesterday. I’m guessing it was something about the GameCube achievement launch.

Still wading through Diablo 4: Season 4. I have one more objective to get all the rewards for the season, but I gotta choose between beating Uber Lilith, Tormented Duriel, or Tormented Andariel, all of which are a bitch to fight. I have all my glyphs upgraded to the absolute max, and most of my items are in a good place, but I need to go through The Pit some more to upgrade them further, but it's such a grinding pain that I get bored quickly.

Diablo 3: Season 32 started this week, and I decided to go with a Necromancer after the disaster of a time I had with the Witch Doctor last season. It's only been a day, but I'm already feeling better about this round.

Finally finished Subnautica! While the last stretch was a little grindy and tedious, the ending was nice, and overall, I'm really glad I stuck to it and made it through. I can see myself revisiting this in the future, if nothing else that to see how building different bases in different locations would affect how quickly I could get things done. Or to just see what amazing base I could build in general.
I thought about playing Below Zero, but I haven't heard as great of things compared to this one, and I'm also not sure if I could stand another 60ish hours of swimming around lol. I did end up getting it on Steam anyway during the Summer Sale, so at the very least it's on the To Play List.

Had the urge to play Resident Evil 3 REmake again, so I did. I forgot it was so short, especially for a Resident Evil game.

For my next non Diablo game, I think I want to revisit The Darkness series. I've only played each game once, but I had a fun time with both, so I might see what achievements there are and do some hunting.

Is RE3 remake worth playing? I loved the remake of the second one.

CharlesReed ,
@CharlesReed@kbin.run avatar

I wouldn't say it's as good as the RE2 remake, but it's a fun little ride and I enjoy playing it. Like I said, it's really short, and from what my friends who have played the original say, it cut some areas and isn't quite as faithful to the original as RE2 is. To me it's a nice little supplement to RE2, since it also takes place in Raccoon City, as well as giving more to Jill's story in the RE universe as a whole. I wouldn't recommend buying it full price, but if there's a good sale I'd nab it.

@OmegaMouse@pawb.social avatar

Ahh thanks - It’s included within an existing Playstation subscription I have, so I can play it without any extra charge. If it’s short and fun like you say, I’ll definitely give it a go!

Just started the Talks Talos principle and have just found this thing!

ComfortableRaspberry ,

I loved the vibes and exploring the area to find more riddles and become more confused :D

Sadly the game triggers my motion sickness :(

JohnOliver , (edited )

I had the same issue actually! I was looking for a sensitivity or dead zone setting when i fount their ‘motion sickness’ setting. It even has an auto option that guesses the best settings for you if you have issues with motion sickness ! It worked perfectly!

ComfortableRaspberry ,

Ooooh, this must be new. Then I’ll give it another try. Thanks a lot for this info <3

Nithanim ,

Pretty sure it is called The Talos Principle but glad you found this gem!

JohnOliver ,

Sorry… autocorrect seems to not know of talos 🤦‍♂️

Finished watchdogs 2And started watchdogs 1 with some mods. It’s my first time playing watchdogs and liking it so far!.

theangriestbird ,

what do you like most about it? is it hitting something unique, or is it just really nice open world “comfort food” gaming?

rolofox ,
@rolofox@lemmy.zip avatar

I had an itch for a GTA type of game, had watchdogs on my backlog. I started with WD2 it was the one I already had installed. I liked the idea of the world and that it was in San Francisco, came to like the characters and the astheric.

Now with WD1 im liking the new city and the story and gameplay is more serious that the second one. In this one it involves more gunplay.

theangriestbird ,

That makes sense! I haven’t played them, but I remember the marketing of WD1 having a more serious tone. It’s always nice when you have the perfect game to scratch a particular itch

comicallycluttered ,

There’s a jazz/soul radio station in the first game that has some real bangers as well if you’re into that.

rolofox ,
@rolofox@lemmy.zip avatar

Oh yeah have been paying attention to the music I really like it, they have some good songs that take me back.

comicallycluttered ,

Song of Farca.

A fun little hacky detective puzzle game reminiscent of games like Orwell and its sequel, but with a more engaging cast of characters.

Dark Souls Remastered. Just hit the halfway point (Anor Londo), upgraded to Great Scythe +15 and things are starting to look up. Now the toughest opponent I’m encountering is gravity.

Coelacanth ,
@Coelacanth@feddit.nu avatar

Impeccable taste, DS1 Great Scythe has such a fantastic moveset. Is it your first time playing?

eezeebee ,
@eezeebee@lemmy.ca avatar

That your first time with Dark Souls? I played it for the first time on that remaster a couple of years back. I remember those goddamn Anor Londo archers being maybe the only thing in the game that pissed me off so much I had to quit and come back. Damn near EVERYTHING in that game feels “tough but fair” e

First time playing DS1, yes!

Coelacanth ,
@Coelacanth@feddit.nu avatar

I hope you’re enjoying it, that first blind playthrough is quite magical. First half of DS1 is just a masterclass in level design. No other game has made me so excited to find a shortcut.

First time playing DS1. I’m trying to keep it mostly a blind first playthrough, but I have had to look up help after trying my best and giving up in a few spots - including those archers.

Like how I wandered all the way down to Tomb of Giants extremely early, no lantern drop, no Lordvessel. The Pinwheel fight was so easy that I thought I must be going the right direction.

theangriestbird ,

ahaha i think those are the exact two places where i looked things up. did you have a moment where you beat the archers, but then fell off the ledge on accident before you got to the next checkpoint. i did…

eezeebee ,
@eezeebee@lemmy.ca avatar

Yes, same with every other ledge lol

I wanted to play Baldurs Gate 3 multiplayer with my wife, but couldn’t convince her. She really doesn’t like turn-based combat, and the game has too much dialogue for her taste…

So, we are now playing Palworld instead. It’s a lot of fun in multiplayer, but still quite grindy.

theangriestbird ,

aha you join the long list of gamers that tried and failed to get their partner into a Larian game.

lemba ,

I’m still on Helldivers 2. This game hits my sweet spot of PvE shooting, grinding and time sink. The Updates keep coming and rumors say, a third species will be introduced soon…

Heikki ,

I’m currently playing 2 games.

  1. Another Crabs Treasure. Currently, I’m at a point where I think I need to level up. Most enemies are nearly 1 shotting me. I think I need more vitality.
  2. Xdefient. Mostly just to have an FPS that I can jump into and play a few quick matches

Hopped on path of exile with a friend. We’re slowing going through the acts and likely won’t get to mapping by the time the new league drops. It’s fine though.

Been messing around with Sky: Child of Light, that one mmo that is very reminiscent of journey made by the same people and got extremely frustrated. I ‘finished’ the game after getting stun locked, and proceeded to find some trials which required precise control of your character… Which is not a thing. Pressing jump doesn’t always work. The physics aren’t great, and the leeway for timings is much harsher than it needs to be. All in all, that was not the best experience. I ended up on the Farmville quest. First objective I could do alone, second one required another person. Third one needs 3 people…

It’s also the 8th anniversary of Egg Inc. and they have their annual event running. I managed to triple my earnings bonus in one day… Which is fairly significant.

ComfortableRaspberry ,

Finally bought Death’s Door on Steam. At least for now it is challenging in a good way. But killing a boss and dying right after because one of their minions managed to hit me and then having to repeat the whole fight annoyed me more than once.

Still catching up on the many Switch games I’ve missed over the years. Super Mario Odyssey, Starlink: Battle for Atlas, and Metroid Prime Remastered are getting lots of play. They are all excellent. Starlink gives me motion sickness though, so I have to limit that to 20–30-minute sessions.

I’m doing a replay of Dragon Age Origins. Slogging my way through my least favorite part of the game(the Deep Roads) right now. I’m not that good at the game, so for the harder encounters, I’ve cheesed them by having one member of my party run forward to aggro one group, then run back to where the rest are in order to deal with them one group at a time. If I let my party fight normally, they accidentally aggro multiple groups and they get overwhelmed. That plus saving after every difficult encounter is helping me get through it.

My warden is an elven mage; she’s mostly built for casting ice magic and healing. I usually use Alistair as a tank, Zevran as a dual wielding damage dealer and Leliana as an archer/support unit.

DesolateMood ,

Just got some equipment for my first sim rig and have been playing a ton of Assetto Corsa and DiRT Rally 2.0

I’ve been working through a replay of all the original mainline Ace Attorney games, via the trilogies on Steam. Played these all on DS/3DS back in the day. I just finished Ace Attorney - Dual Destinies, and now I’ve started Spirit of Justice, the last game of this second anthology. Love this whole series. Can’t wait for the release of the “Investigations” spin-off games in September!

Otherwise, still playing FFXIV. I started Dawntrail, but I haven’t gotten too far into it. I put a pin the MSQ (Main Scenario Quests) a couple weeks ago and just kinda left it there. I have enough other things to work on. Class/Job leveling, finishing up some Alliance Raids/Normal Raids from Endwalker, trying to suck less while healing on Sage, and whatever else side stuff I find.

I figure that it’s gonna be at least a few months til the next big content update, and at least two years until the next expansion, so what’s the rush? I’ll get back to the MSQ eventually.
