I for one have been playing openmw non stop. Being able to replay morrowind on a brand new modern engine has completely enthralled me. The graphical enhancements you can add are superb, volumetric clouds and fogs keep the same aesthetic of the alien world Morrowind inhabits while also adding some much needed visual flare.

Also the gameplay still holds up...mostly! Finding your quests is an experience in itself. I'm getting terribly used to quest markers and maps that tell me where to go. Morrowind says fuck you "Your quest is by the old rickety bridge south of town besides the river. Good luck" no markers just exploration.

The game is not for everyone but everyone should try it.

Horizon Forbidden West finally came out on PC today, so that's gonna be my next couple weeks.

I'm currently playing Grand Theft Horse 2 for the first time ever since I recently bought my first gamer PC. I'm 20 hours in and pogging the entire time. It's definitely one of the greatest games of all time.

In regards to OpenMW, are there any mods that make combat more realistic or similar to Skyrim? Morrowind is one of my favourite games and I'd love to replay it but it's annoying when your character misses 9 out of 10 times that they swing the sword.

[–] Abracadaniel@hexbear.net 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

missing 9 time out of 10 would mean that you're using a weapon outside of your build, or are fighting an opponent with godly agility (they're dodging your attacks). Just stick to the weapon type that you chose as a major skill and you're fine. You'll do even better if the other aspects of your build add to your weapon skill, attack, and agility.

There are likely mods for this but I've never looked for them as It's just not an issue if one plays to their builds strengths.

Choose Long Blade as a major skill and your sword will rarely miss. Nords and Redguards both get a +10 bonus to Long Blade so playing as one of them will further boost your chance to hit at level 1.

Chance to hit = Attacker's weapon skill * 1.25 + (Attacker's Attack - Defender's Sanctuary) + (Attacker's Agility - Defender's Agility) * 0.25 + (Attacker's Luck - Defender's Luck) * 0.125

I'm kind of getting tired of Balatro, could go for an action-roguelite next, but no clue what.

factorio, specifically Pyanodon's Alternative Energy

Editing oblivion mods to suit my own peculiar tastes. I never use any player housing that isn't customized to reflect my preferences at this point.

Maybe Hell Let Loose but im going to practice for sure alot this weekend

[–] AdmiralDoohickey@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 11 months ago

I started Rabi-Ribi and besides the yikes character designs it's pretty good. I hear that the post game is brutally hard and I already need to use consumables in bosses so I don't know how it will go

I've put about 15 hours into Kenshi over the past week, but I probably haven't actually made that much progress compared to what other people could have because I'm still trying to figure the game out. I've got a team of 4 (used to be 5, RIP Sawg the bonedog), and I'm trying to build up an outpost that will let me recruit and train enough people so I can go out and build a bigger outpost in more fertile land.

Fr though, getting my times down on f-zero x and getting to learn drifting finally and some Katamari. My parents have finished with super Mario wonder for the time being so they're gonna bring it by tomorrow so I can have my turn.

Grinding out ranked Overwatch and a bit of Disco Elysium.

Took a break on Persona 3 Reload so I don't get burned out.

Also started a fresh New Vegas playthrough in hopes that I can finally finish it this time around.

I'm in those Dominions mines, grognarding. Dominions 6 came out just a couple months ago, so it was a great time to get back into the game for my seemingly seasonal interest in it. This time around, I'm finally feeling like I have a good enough grasp of the game to start to tell what's good, which might be helped by the meta being pretty shook up by a new kind of magic, and a bigger emphasis on armies vs mages, along with the very cool addition of mounted units separated into mounts and riders. I'm incredibly close to winning my first multiplayer game right now (honestly, I got very lucky with a lot of map stuff), but it's absolutely going to come down to the wire and a single turn of timing one way or the other might make or break it.

I finished out the AoE2 tournament I was playing in, made it out of the group stage, but got swept in the first elimination round. Was a bit salty about it, might take me a bit to want to play that game again. Game is still really fun.

Last night I started Warhammer 40K Rogue Trader. Just dipped my toe in a bit, didn't even clear the prologue. I had played a bit into the game proper in early access a while ago, but I wanted to start over and experience it properly. There have definitely been some improvements and changes. I haven't fucked with the system long enough to really know it and I'm going to try and avoid looking up builds or anything, since learning on your own is fun. So far, it feels pretty intuitive to be honest, at least as someone pretty familiar with a stat spread. Not too much to say about this one yet. I've really enjoyed, (but not finished) Owlcat's previous Pathfinder titles, so I expect this will also scratch my crpg itch. Beyond that, 40k activates my slop neurons hard, so I'm gonna try and just have a good time throwing Sister Argenta bolter blazing and headlong into heretics, and not take it too seriously.

Alpha Protocol is back on pc now so that's what I'm playing, at least until Dragon's Dogma 2 releases. edit: I'd be playing OlliOlli World as well but I can't find my damn controller.

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 1 points 11 months ago

Games with the Backsteet Boy's Heart. They keep telling me to quit. Reminds me of mgs2.

[–] SexMachineStalin@hexbear.net 1 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

X-COM: Apocalypse, SimCity 3000 Unlimited and RuneScape private servers. Yeah games from the 1990s just seem to have this special charm that many new ones lack.

Also Flashpoint for all the childhood Flash game nostalgia when going to Newgrounds at a time when I was far too young and accidentally found out what "Hentai" means
