I’m playing V Rising for the first time, and doing it solo on brutal mode. I have to say it’s been very challenging, but also quite rewarding, and a ton of fun.
The way they do brutal mode is very cool. It’s not just number-based challenge scaling, but the bosses get a bunch of new mechanics as well.
Breath of Fire IV. A nice pixel art RPG I never played this when it was new. A few hours in currently and enjoying it quite a bit!
Baldur’s Gate 3 for me. Played for around 70 hours after the launch, recently started fresh after the final updates. What a game!
Going with entirely new team, first time I’ve played as custom Druid with Shadowheart, Karlach and Gale as the good guy, this time I’m going more chaotic with my Gnome Bard featuring Lae’zel, Astarion and Wyll.
I finally got to try out Witcher 3. it gud.
I took concepts from Factorio and Oxygen not Included and applying them IRL. I bought some pipe and some heat exchanger, I made an ice melting cooler to improve habitability. Very much like ONI.
Next step: fusion power
Nah, fusion power requires too many nuclear science packs and energy science pack IIIs to research in Outside. At $13,508 science per minute (SPM) it’ll take several more years before it’s ready.
I’ve gone back to Ostriv since there have been some nice updates since I last played. It’s such a beautiful game and I always end up spending most of the time makeing it look nice. LINK
Edit: added some pictures :)
Tried out Elden Ring randomiser mod, can feel my addiction returning.
Also have been playing Blue Prince on and off. Phenomenal game, but also not easy.
my pc cant run elden ring without nearly overheating… it’s so poorly optimized
I was considering checking out the randomizer. How well does it run? Are there any performance issues or does it more or less run as well as unmodded Elden Ring?
I haven’t noticed any performance issues and my PC is pretty old. I expected more hassle with installation, but you literally point it at game’s exe file and click 2 buttons.
I’m guessing there might be issues if you uncheck some of the restrictions like matching boss size to arena size, but I haven’t ran into anything on default settings.
I appreciate the info. Thanks!
The Great Ace Attorney! Just finished the third adventure. I’m a huge fan of the original trilogy and was skeptical this would measure up, but it’s been a brilliant evolution of the series so far.
I’ve been playing a little bit of final fantasy tactics on the PS1 on my little RG34XX (The GBA looking one)
Nier Automata. It’s okay…pretty decent. But it’s a JRPG… ugh, been a while since I played one. It’s very, very JRPG.
Cook, Serve, Delicious 3 with my gf. We‘re literally 1 gold medal away from all-gold and I have no idea how you do this with just two hands considering four hands are already rough lol
Elder Scrolls Online, Children of Morta
Hello fellow ESO player
I realized last night that despite being very fond if RTS games, Ashes of the Singularity simply isn’t for me. So I’m trying out AoE4 tonight, hopefully that’ll scratch my itch.
Cities Skylines. It’s pretty dang fun building from just a small suburb into a small town and then into a city, and then start another small town further out then connect both with train. It’s too bad i playing Epic Store version, no mod support, so base game only. Got it for free though so can’t complain much, just have to patiently waiting for steam sales and buy some of the dlc as well.
Before that its Dishonored franchise, up till the last game with a dang great finale to close the story. It’s too bad we don’t get to have this phenomenal game from Arkane anymore, as the original dev have long left the studio.
Linda Cubed Again, for the Playstation 1. It’s a Japanese RPG released in 1997, with an English fan translation released last year (after 10 years of work!)
I was surprised by some of the systems implemented in the game: a working bank system, some locations change over time, dynamic weather with effects on the environment (i.e. rainfall can flood lower levels of caves), and more.
There’s a youtube video that goes over the story, but overall I’d say it’s a pretty solid pokemon-like that deserves more attention. I should mention that the game is pretty dark and features a lot of taboos. The github link describes them in a content warning section, in case you want to try it for yourself
