I have been playing the first season of Diablo 4 and it's been fun, not because of Diablo but because it's what my friends are doing.

The Isle (beta branch)

So much fun growing up as a Dino in a Dino eat Dino world. At the best of times it can be scary as hell.

I got myself Cult of the Lamb, finally, and it's been an absolute blast.

Outside of that, I play a lot of ESO, and am trying to finish up the dead god achievement in Binding of Isaac. Both are also fantastic

Star citizen.Tried it during the free fly event, loved it. Even though it's a piece of shit, it is one of the best pieces of shit I have ever seen/played.

Looking to finish Hogwarts legacy before I leave for vacation since i hate how it plays with a controller, and I'm taking my deck on the road, so no mouse/keyboard.

I'll probably finish breath of the wild and give a crack to emulating tears of the kingdom while away, fallback will probably be either Yakuza 3 or something like that.

Nearing the end of Trails of Cold Steel IV after spending the past several months working my way from Cold Steel I. I'm planning to get Trails into Reverie at some point, but will probably play the fan-translated Kuro no Kiseki first.

[–] Purplexingg@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Have you played liberl and crossbell? Over covid I played all of them up to cold steel 3. Waited until 4 released but I think by the time it did I realized I was pretty burned out on it. Also heard some negative things about kuro so wasn't really too eager to try.

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I played a good deal of Trails in the Sky way back when on the PSP, but never finished it. Haven't played any of the others, I figured I'd just skip to the 3D ones. The games do a good job of making you feel nostalgic for characters from games you've never played, so I don't feel like I missed out on too much. If you liked III and ever feel like jumping back in I'd recommend IV - it has its issues, but I think someone who's been there from the beginning will get even more out of it than I did because there are a LOT of legacy characters featured.

I'm liking the small amount of Kuro I've played so far, but I definitely have my doubts I'll ever like the characters as much as Class VII. We'll see in many years once Kuro III is available in English (whether officially or not)!

Yeah so I was basically in the same boat as you when I first started. Played like half of trails in the sky 1 forever ago and then started with cold steel 1, then beat it and 2 and 3. Then looped back. I really do think there is something to gain by playing liberl and crossbell; liberl especially stuck out to me. I know crossbell is more acclaimed and it was definitely good but I think just how the game looks and the storyline is something else. Upon coming back to erebonia I realized how much I actually disliked those games compared to the others because of how ridiculous it was, what with all the girls falling over rean and some of the other plot points.

spoiler___The mecha reveal fight was pretty badass though and kind of blew my mind though lol

Anyways if you like the series you should definitely play them even if you think you don't need to. All the references and character reappearances are mind blowing. I do want to at least finish 4 at some point, to give some kind of closure.

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Yes, the harem aspect of Cold Steel was definitely not something I liked, but as a fan of anime I've just accepted that sometimes I have to cringe through some of the tropes. "Angelica is a lesbian and sexually harasses every female she sees, isn't it funny??"

You should play IV and Reverie if you want closure - I hear that the Crossbell Arc actually gets most of the screen time in Reverie.

TES Skyrim - It's like a hideout for the past 11 years. Grim Dawn - Use it to get rid of the stress. The Sims 3 - When I want to build something.

Just wrapped up getting gold on every license in GT7 last night. Looking at the rest of the trophies and aiming for my first platinum.

Have put a fair few hours into Space Haven, but think I may have reached the end of the playable content I enjoy for now. Maybe I need to do a pirate run…

[–] SMSPARTAN@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

For now I'm playing Battlebit Remastered and Remnant From the Ashes whilst I wait for the Early Access release of Remnant 2.

[–] Brazzburry@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Game called Necesse. Still early access but what's out now feels like terraria (pre hard mode only) mixed with a colony sim. Super excited to see where it goes in the future.

[–] approxamatrix@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I was playing Arkham Asylum since it was the only Arkham game I didn't finish as yet

Playing The Fractured But Whole for almost a month now, it's a pretty enjoyable experience and it feels just like playing an episode of the show, liking it a lot so far.

[–] neocamel@lemmy.studio 2 points 2 years ago

My nephew is really into Plants vs Zombies, and I'll admit, it's sucked me in too. I'm trying to impress him by getting my name at a respectable position on the Endless Leaderboard on Xbox, but I'm having some trouble with my controller missing button presses when I go to arm a Cob Cannon for missile launch.

I can't believe I'm actually considering upgrading to an Xbox Series S in order to get smoother performance out of Plants Vs Fucking Zombies...

[–] Geth@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Cyberpunk 2077. I think I'm close to the end, finishing the side quests that have any substance to them and then the main story and I want more.

Between all the bugs, the glitching and the crashing, I should have been sick of it by now, but there's something about this setting and story that is just so gripping.

Can't stop thinking about what could have been if it lived up at least partially to the expectations.

Sekiro. It's hard.

[–] fckreddit@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Ys 8. My first Ys game and damn it is awesome..

[–] Diablokls@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Testing out the new WoW talent system and likely will swap back to private servers while I wait for one called Project Epoch. That and Skyrim on switch or Among Us if my kids make me play with them.

[–] Timwi@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

I recently finished Storyteller. It's a short game and you can finish it in a day, but boy does it look gorgeous and boy does it keep your noggin activated.
