Baldurs's Gate 3. I'm in 70 hours and I love IT so far

[–] ShitOnABrick@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (3 children)

I really wanna try Baldurs gate myself might get it on steam sale prehaps two games I really wouldn't mind trying are baldurs gate and disco elysium

[–] Poggervania@kbin.social 4 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Bear in mind, BG3 is more much like your typical cRPG while Disco Elysium is more akin to Planescape: Torment but without combat.

Both are extremely well-written, and I would say Disco Elysium is arguably one of the best written games period, but don’t go into DE expecting a whole lot of combat - it’s much more like a visual novel than a cRPG.

[–] antaymonkey@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

You just made DE a whole lot more appealing to me.

[–] ShitOnABrick@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

De sounds awesome I would love another well written game like rdr2 to sink my teeth into and get tons of hours out of and this sounds like that sorta game

[–] drz@lemmy.ca 3 points 11 months ago (4 children)

Both are amazing RPGs. Highly recommend checking them out.

I'm doing an evil playthrough now and finding various things I missed from the first playthrough. But oof, I feel really awful about the horrible things the game lets you do. 😅

[–] gestalt@lemmy.world 13 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Risk of Rain 2, such an underrated game. It’s been eating up all my free time lately.

Absolute banger once you get a hang of it.

[–] ShitOnABrick@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I've never heard of risk of rain is it any good? Might check it out

[–] DichotoDeezNutz@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Its good, but I had to download mods to learn what the items were and what they did. Take a look at R2ModMan

[–] ShitOnABrick@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

Alright ty I'll make sure to look into it one day

[–] GaimDS@lemmy.world 11 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Honestly, I started replaying Skyrim to see if I can actually finish the damn thing lol

[–] Alimentar@lemm.ee 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Oh man every so often I boot it up with fresh mods! I love that game so much.

I remember when it launched, I never heard of it, didn't see any promotional material and just bought it out of curiosity. Was an incredible surprise and put so much hours into it

[–] Globulart@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago (2 children)

I was a huge fan of oblivion and I remember staying up into the early hours at uni waiting for the crack to be released. I put 16 hours in on the first day and never really looked back.

Currently wrestling with whether or not I can justify spending £800 on my pc to play starfield....

Contraband Police - it's like Papers Please, but since it's in first person, it's more complex - you have to manage the whole border crossing area with the few staff you have, you have a car that you have to manually drive to a supply shop and to drop prisoners and contraband off at, and you can get ambushed along the way or at your base, where you're manually be shooting at smugglers with guns you buy.

Shadows of Doubt - A game where you play as a detective in a city and you have to solve cases (sometimes murders) and often end up committing crimes yourself along the way. A lot of cases solved used by matching faces to names to fingerprints to voices to jobs to blood type, eye colour, hair colour, age, and so on. Extremely addictive and often hilarious, despite how buggy this early access game is.

Dicey Dungeons - A roguelike deckbuilder with 6 different classes where you roll dice against cards with different effects and your enemy does the same to you. I don't love roguelikes and really don't like deck games but this one is really appealing, and has a great soundtrack. The different classes play through a LOT of different "episodes" where the rules of the game change.

also playing a lot of Heroes of the Storm every goddamn night

Zelda Wind Maker, on WiiU sadly. My gf got this console and game, so I just wanna beat it and move onto another Zelda games.

I got phantam, skyward, botw. Saving botw for last. I beat oot and mm back in the days, and just beat twilight.

[–] caseofthematts@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

I know a lot of people like them, but you just listed a lot of my least favourite Zelda games. Wind Waker (before the remake, I heard there were a lot of QoL changes that I had issue with from the original?), Phantom Hourglass and Skyward Sword. I would've beat my head against a desk if you said Spirit Tracks.

But people do enjoy these, so I hope you like them much more than I did.

Bloodborne has sucked me back in. Super satisfying gameplay.

I also replayed Re7 and Re8, just fantastic together.

Have about 200 hours of Valheim logged with my wife. I'm honestly feeling burned out, but she's still into it, so I'm trying my best to remain interested. I love this game, but we've been playing of so much.

[–] JeepartN@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago (3 children)

Thats nice though! I wish i could play it longer aswell but my brain just gives up once the final boss is beaten

Been playing Skyrim and Control. Also, playing Baldurs Gate 1 on Switch from time to time.

[–] ShitOnABrick@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

Controls quite fun ngl I got it for free as part of the epic games promotion I've played it a couple of times and I've enjoyed it never got round to completing the campaign sadly I think I got to the maintenance area before having to call it quits

[–] thatsage@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

I guess Kirby and The Forgotten land mainly.

And frankly I'm amazed with how good it is. I never thought this would be "my type of game", and it's not like I'm "wanna play this for 8h a day" addicted, in fact I get my fill after an hour or 2, but it's just great. Like really great, so far 9 out of 10 for me.

[–] random_character_a@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (2 children)

Trepang^2^ - Absolute FPS gem

Starfield - Hated it

Brotato - Casual quick game

Dorfromantic - Chill casual quick game

[–] ShitOnABrick@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

I might give celeste ago one day I got it for free as part of an epic games promotion I've got a massive backlog of games

[–] BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

starfield, fortnite, and backyard baseball

rock band 4 when im able to (work 2nd shift and live with parents, so drumming at night is a no go)

[–] ShitOnABrick@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Sounds noice ngl

[–] BigVault@kbin.social 3 points 11 months ago

Started playing Starfield and it really made me want to revisit fallout 4, I’m now deep back into a new play through of Fo4 with 22 hours played in the last 2 weeks. Really enjoying it again.

Anyway, another settlement needs my help….

[–] TheOgreChef@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago (3 children)

I started Starfield and dropped it after about 3ish hours (happy for you if you liked it, I just couldn’t find anything interesting there), beat Lies of P (could be the best of the non-Bandai soulsbourne games), and just started up The Lamplighters League (a fun X-com style game that’s good, but REALLY poorly optimized, so buyer beware).

Looking forward to Spider-man 2 though, only a few more weeks!

Titanfall 2 with friends, War Thunder, Cyberpunk 2077 and Middle Earth: Shadow of War on my own.

And of course, my go-to when I don't know what to do, which is Hearts of Iron IV. I'm excited about the new DLC, btw.

[–] CobblerScholar@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

Diablo 3 caught my attention again recently with the new and probably last season. Pretty mindless most of the time but it's therapeutic in a way

[–] idunnololz@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

Replaying stardew valley in anticipation of the big update.

The Dead Space remake, loved the original and the remake is so good

[–] Yokozuna@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (4 children)

A friend got me into New World when he started playing, never played an MMO more for more than a week but this one seems like it might hold me for awhile. Waiting on D4 season 2. A little bit of cyberpunk 2077 since the dlc dropped and Project Zomboid when I'm in the mood. ALSO KATAMARI DAMACI.

Finished Terraria for the first time since I got some 10 years ago. Now I'm replaying Grim Dawn, excited for the new expansion pack.

[–] NakariLexfortaine@lemm.ee 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Rimworld, in a fucked up way, has become my comfort game, so it's taken up a good chunk of my playtime recently.

Got a nice little colony going, nestled in some mountains. Working on clearing out our "home" area, and then I want to start coring out the others to keep this look of a quiet, sleepy village nestled among the rocks until you step into our killbox and realize we're actually a highly militarized group of escaped slaves with Spacer-grade gear, a GlitterNet set-up running our defenses, and no plans of going back.

At least, that's the plan. Now that I have the first wing of a permanent hospital down, I'm planning on getting the colony gym up and running, hopefully not have a meltdown happen when Partridge realizes his husband, Dog, is now psychically bonded with, and boning, the new Highmate, Sarai, and hopefully remember to actually finish building the prisons hospital wing and the bones for the Ripper and Hema wings so we're prepared for when we need subcores and blood.

I might put the organ harvesting wing near the beach. Let the bastards have one last look at the ocean before a sawbones rips their liver out.

Beat STASIS last week after seeing MandaloreGaming's review. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Gonna give STASIS: Bone Totem a shot soon, I think.

I found my evil Baldur's Gate 3 playthrough a bit underwhelming, so I went and restarted as a himbo barbarian wood elf, and I've been having a lot more fun with that build. Heart of gold with no brains has been really funny so far, especially when half my dialogue options as a Berserker are just to shout at people or punch them.
