Went back to RDR2, almost 75 hours in and still not even close to finishing main story.

I've been running through Into the Radius. It's in the easily top 3 VR games for me, it's does a incredible job at immersing you into the world which is basically like Stalker. Coming back from harder missions I've felt mentally exhausted just from how stressful it can get. But that stress is so addictive.

Lots and lots of TOTK combined with OSRS!

My mom got me Bloodborne for my birthday and I'm loving it. I'm not that far in, but it's great.

Trackmania! I'm trying to get better and I've been playing for the past few months, I have mostly silvers on the summer campaign now!

[–] quinten@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I'm playing some old school Black Ops II Zombies with some friends. Buried is such a great zombie map!

I just started with Cassette Beasts, as it was finally on sale on Switch and I cannot get myself to play a Pokemon game on anything but a portable console. Just feels wrong.

It is... the strictly better Pokemon game, as people told me it'd be. I keep looking for issues compared to the classic games, but no, they did it all slightly~notably better. And wow is the soundtrack fantastic. And wow is the theming incredibly well done, with the walkman as the battle menu as the cherry on top.

Highly recommended. I cannot say much about the story so far, but what I've seen is indeed interesting.

Remnant 2 pretty good so far. Also really... don't start your run on nightmare difficulty. Not so fun.

Raft!

Totally random purchase with a friend and we have loved it and have been hard lining it.

Pretty much at the end now post story but now we’re just finishing off the ship. It’s been so nice I’m kinda sad it’s almost over.

We did originally mean to play Conan Exiles one night but just randomly grabbed raft, it’s really really good.

Playing Days Gone love the story and gameplay

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

I spent more time gaming this month than any other this year and finished NO games. That’s what I get for devoting equal time to three big time-suckers.

I’m nearing the final act of Dragon Quest V on the DS. Mixed feelings but overall enjoying it. Coming straight from Chrono Trigger to anything else in that era is just unfair though.

I’m taking my time with Elden Ring and loving it. I love entering a new area and getting a stunning vista to take it all in. It’s a beautiful game.

Playing Battlebit about once or twice a week with some friends. It’s perfect for my friend group.

Been playing a lot of Risk of Rain 2 again. I still don't have the DLC but I'ma buy it soon

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

I've started playing Techtonica, or if you prefer, "underground satisfactory". One interesting mechanic is that research creates a sort of bulky waste product and you have to find a place for it.

[–] kr0n@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I plucked up my courage and I started Resident Evil 2 Remake. I finished Leon part. Doubting if play Claire part or not. Also I finished Inscryption. I'm now trying to finish the Warzone 2 battle pass since It ends in a few days.

[–] CharlesReed@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Definitely do play Claire's part! It's not as long, and there are some repetitive parts, but it does add more to the story and introduce some new characters (if you're not already familiar with the original or the franchise in general).

[–] aesopjah@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

Baldurs gate 3. Thought it would be more complete since it's coming out soon. Still good though.
I've always had trouble getting into these isometric rpgs for some reason. Divinity, wasteland, old baldurs gate, even dragon age origins. Somehow the disconnect between the control and the character gets to me.
I'm going to try to get deep enough into this one though so that the story can actually shine through

Just got out of almost 3 years of nonstop genshin. I'm currently looking for a game to mindlessly 100%, like an assassin's creed game for example.

It the meantime I'm trying to beat all spirits spiritless in Smash bros. Will start Xenoblade 2 in september, already got XC3 ready

I am currently playing Everspace 2, i like the space combat very much, although at least in the beginning the crafting system feels quite slow.

[–] boredScientist 2 points 2 years ago

I've started playing Ys 9: Monstrum Nox. It's a quite charming action RPG. I played Ys 8 a few years back and generally found it enjoyable, so wanted to give it a shot. Not the most complex game (so far), but definitely fun!

[–] th_d@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Just bought XCOM 2 on sale and I'm overwhelmed by the difficulty but can't stop playing

[–] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Are you playing the vanilla game or war of the chosen?
I love that game so much.

I am waiting for Baldurs Gate 3 to release and in the meantime I was just staring at my screen buuuut just got the word that both of the Zelda Oracle games are now on Switch Online or whatever it is called, so that is how I will spend my weekend:))

[–] boerbiet 2 points 2 years ago

Trying to beat Tails of Iron on the hardest difficulty. The game was fun and somewhat challenging on normal and I did 100% it. The hardest difficulty feels random and just unfair at times and honestly isn't very fun to play. But I'm determined and have reached the last area, so hopefully I'll succeeded this weekend.

I don't typically play much video games but this time I decided to start up an old one that I never finished. Tenchu fatal shadows. I'm also trying to play through Evo search for Eden

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

Dying light 2. Second time playing through, going for the "good" ending this time.

[–] Patariki 2 points 2 years ago

The Mass Effect trilogy and simultaneously making a guide in Notion containing who to bring for unique dialogue, collectibles and instructions if they're not given in game.
