Happy new year guys!πŸ˜€ Just now, it hit midnight here, and it's officially 2025. I was playing Pennon and Battle, and I realized it's the last game I played in 2024!! That gave it a different kind of meaning. Now I'm curious, what was the last game you played in 2024?

The witcher 3!!! 40+ hours in and loving it

[–] De_Narm@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Same game and roughly same amount of time. Just started the main quest in Novigrad.

Got both DLCs for like 3 bucks, which was nice.

[–] studentofarkad@lemm.ee 2 points 3 days ago

We must be progressing very similarly, I'm also in novigrad! Lol

Jackbox Survey Scramble

Basically like Jackbox Family Feud. Was a really fun all-ages activity over the holidays.

Cyberpunk 2077

I think it was BG3 or Potion Craft for me.

I just started getting into Deadlock and that was the last game I played in 2024. However, I only played for about an hour. Before that, in the same afternoon I played Foxhole for about four hours and Balatro for two.

Vacation ends the moment I put my phone down and go to sleep... It was a good time.

Edit: Ah I forgot we played Jack Box at the party I went to leading up to midnight. Does that count?

I brought in the new year playing Fire Emblem: Awakening (which I've been obsessed with after finally getting it working on an emulator). I'd been struggling with lunatic mode but I figured out I can just feed Robin because of the XP boost and then use her to carry the team. Changed her to Pegasus Knight and then Dark Flier and now I can just swoop in and one-shot any enemy and she's over-levelled enough that the enemies won't prioritize her, and if they do, she dodges everything and has enough HP to survive a bow to the face.

The early levels were very challenging and I had to heavily abuse save states but once I got rolling it's been a lot smoother. The two cavaliers you start with literally can't survive a single hit starting out. Since everyone's so vulnerable, you just have to get one unit good asap to avoid relying on your Jagen.

Last game I finished was Veilguard. Pretty close to EoY. It wasn't exactly what I wanted, and the difficulty falls off a cliff as a mage when you get life steal, but it wasn't bad. The romance with Neve was entirely too... unromantic, and PG-13 though. Very disappointing. No intimacy.

Then I started CrossCode and it's been good. Feels like a mix of old snes games (Zelda, lufia2) and MMO, without the annoying parts like other players. The puzzles also aren't very hand holdy, which is nice. I feel like a lot of games are too aggressive with their "HEY IT LOOKS LIKE YOU CAN SLIDE THAT BRICK. HEY I BET FIRE MELTS ICE."

Ghost of Tsushima on the PC. 90 fps (most of the time) 4K.

The gameplay is really to my taste, so I am planning on playing this one for a while.

[–] BigBenis@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

That's one of my all time favorites. The combat is just so polished and satisfying and the graphics are incredibly beautiful.

[–] CheeryLBottom@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Replaying Pillars of Eternity Deadfire.

[–] ampersandrew@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago (3 children)

Hell yeah! I'm trying to finish up the DLC I never got around to before Avowed comes out. Have you checked out the turn-based mode? I like it way better, and I'm surprised it works as well as it does.

[–] CheeryLBottom@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

I didn't try that. I had been so used to RtwP. I might have to try another run with turn-based!

I'm currently a mindstalker duel-wielding blunderbusses. My previous character (on my way to Ukaizo) is a Scout duel-wielding daggers. I seem to like duel-wielding hmmm

I've pre-ordered Avowed, but will probably wait until the DLC comes out... Hopefully there will be :)

Heavily modded Risk of Rain 2, because somehow it’s still a delightful gem
