it's very much borrowed from one of the reddit subs i frequent(ed) often, but the idea is to share what we're playing weekly and hopefully create discussions around those games (or simply have a sort of "check-in").

I haven't seen anyone mention fighting games yet so I guess I'm going first. Will probably grind Guilty Gear Strive this weekend, as I don't have much free time for longer gaming sessions and every set is like 3-5 minutes each at most. I'll also try to get back into Dragon Age: Origins, if time permits.

Speaking of fighting games, I'm also interested in getting Street Fighter 6, as a friend I frequently play against got it, but I just can't justify paying 60€ for a game nowadays. I have so many other games on my backlog that I'd rather wait for a sale. But I played the open beta and really liked it a lot. The game feels more fluid than 5 and the new Drive mechanic feels way better than the previous V mechanic.

I've been mainlining Zelda TotK since it came out and now I'm going to mainline SF6. I was a big fan of SFV. I'm going to have to split my time between the 2 somehow.

I've started getting into metal gear recently so at the moment I'm playing MGSV:TPP and MGS1.

I just bought the BioShock collection for $10 on sale and I'm playing BioShock 1 for the first time. The game is a little outdated but the story so far is really interesting to me, I love the world building.

AC Valhalla. Got it on PS4 during the last sale and it's honestly one of the best ACs in recent years. I liked Origins but never got on with Odyssey.

Star Rail is my togo game right now !

I was not a fan of turn based jrpgs before but this game is winning me over with great writing, actually fun gameplay and suprisingly alright gacha implementation (got my team up with 20$ which is a fair deal!)

I'm on world 2 in the story and there's just so much to do in this game I only wish it supported a controller on Android/iOS.

Another replay of Shadow of the Colossus and also started Zelda 2 on NES. SOTC is always a favorite. Zelda 2 I'm a bit iffy on after really enjoying the original, but I'm still early. The stark change in style and gameplay direction threw me off in the beginning but I'm hoping to adjust.

Although, this week it's been hard for me to find time to play anything.

[–] Kay_Angel@beehaw.org 4 points 2 years ago

Modded Minecraft. Volcano block is a great modpack.

[–] thefingolfin@beehaw.org 4 points 2 years ago

Just finished Chained Echoes so I'm a bit free from active games. Might pick back up Disgea 6, and I thought loop hero looked interesting

[–] Skyhighatrist@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

I just started Death Stranding on my Steam Deck.

[–] jvalleroy@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

Civ 5...I have a habit of not actually finishing a game, so I'm trying to push myself through a complete game.

[–] ozoned@beehaw.org 4 points 1 year ago

Just finished up Wall World. Looking for my next hook. Probably gonna play more Rogue Legacy 2 as it's absolutely beautiful and fantastic!

[–] kyrla@beehaw.org 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

once my finals are done i'm taking a one and a half hour walk to the nearest videos game store and getting TOTK and that'll probably be me sorted for the rest of the month at least

Tears of the Kingdom has also sucked me in. It's not quite a 10/10 for me, and in some ways I think looking back I slightly prefer the more austere and "pure" BotW, but the new temples, abilities and shrines are really fun. Great game.

destiny 2, there are no other videogames.

[–] preussischblau@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago

Finally playing Jedi Fallen Order so I can get around to Jedi Survivor, gives time for the latter to get its shit together as well.

[–] Liempong_pagong@beehaw.org 4 points 1 year ago

Basically rotate between diablo 3, brawlstars, and a random word finding game that i forgot the name of.

This may not be the best place to post this, but for lack of a designated community I think this is appropriate :)

I've gotten way into Pathfinder 2e recently, been mucking about with the rulebooks and building a homebrew setting. It's been a lot of fun thus far, the system is crunchy but sensible.

[–] Inspectigator@beehaw.org 4 points 1 year ago

I absolutely love 2e. It's an incredible system! I'm GMing tomorrow night, and had a nice game last night. It's great stuff. I've been reading through a starfinder AP for a game I suspect I'll start in a year or so. That system isn't anywhere as well refined, but it's still fun in it's own right.

[–] ECB@feddit.de 4 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Dota 2! But then again, I've been playing that for nearly a decade at this point....

Tears of the Kingdom. I was originally worried about the weapon system. But I’ve been having so much fun exploring that I hardly care about that.

[–] ConstableJelly@beehaw.org 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I bought Gris after the Neva reveal trailer. It's truly one of the most beautiful games I've ever played, and the score is just as noteworthy.

I’m working through a backlog of playstation games, so currently working on the platinum trophy for Persona 4 Golden. I did p3p when both were released and played the first three games in the dark pictures anthology in between since they were on sale and I wanted to play something that would require fewer hours to complete.

Played Warhammer 3 with a friend last weekend. We did Chaos factions (I was chaos dwarves and he was one of the Daemons of Chaos). It was a pretty good time. Also do a little world of warships legends with some friends on Xbox. The last game I beat was the Metroid Prime remaster.

My hope is whenever I find the time I want to play:

Jedi Survivor

Tears of the Kingdom

System Shock

Diablo 4

Hogwarts Legacy

But I just am so busy with house hunting, work, and some personal stuff it's hard to find time to play lately.

[–] Seda@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago

Hey I play Warhammer 3 too! High Elves my bae.

[–] crisisingot@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago

I wish I had more time to play Warhammer 3 it's a ton of fun. I had a nice Cathay campaign going a while back that I was never able to finish. I'd probably start a new one at this point since it's been so long

[–] TheAlrightGatsby@beehaw.org 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Bouncing between a few games right now. Playing a couple of gacha games on my phone, Apex and Mortal Kombat 11 on Xbox, and getting into Age of Wonders 4 on the steam deck.

As I'm getting older, I'm finding it harder and harder to keep up with my gaming habits. Too many games and not enough time nowadays...

I absolutely feel this. I don't have nearly as much time as I used to to actually sit down at my PC and sink hours into something. Unfortunately I don't enjoy many mobile games though, except maybe for OldSchool Runescape.

At least we still have fond memories!

I’ve been making my way through the STEINS;GATE 0 visual novel, and I’ve been having a great time. It’s effectively replaced watching TV/anime for me; I turn on my nvidia shield, stream the game, and off I go.

[–] Gnorv@feddit.de 3 points 2 years ago

BapBap, a simpler Battlerite, and Cosmoteer, a crossover of RimWorld and FTL.

[–] UngodlyAudrey@beehaw.org 3 points 2 years ago

I should wrap up Pokemon Violet... pretty close to the end of the main story. I'll probably get that knocked out over the weekend. Funnily enough, Nintendo actually sent me an email encouraging me to complete the game which actually asked me if was stuck. Ugh. I've played these games since the very beginning. I know what I'm doing. I'm taking my time because I'm a busy working adult.

[–] shufflerofrocks@beehaw.org 3 points 2 years ago

I just tried the demo for Tiny Thor - it's a retro platformer and it was gooood. The gameplay is fun and the enemies are unique.

It's releasing soon and I'm looking forward to playing the full version

[–] MrKarato@beehaw.org 3 points 2 years ago

Grinding at the new Savage raids in Final Fantasy XIV until my fingers bleed. I want to see if I can get three clears week one this time!

swat: aftermath, I will never leave it, there's just too much in it to improve on. Also din's curse, which is the only other game that holds the same charm.

[–] argv_minus_one@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Been playing a moderately modded MechWarrior 5. The game just isn't as fun without the Clans and their cool technology, so I added the “Yet Another Clan Mech” mod which adds them, but now the game gets crashy whenever any Clan 'Mechs show up. Dunno why. Hoping for another MechWarrior game some time soon.

Speedrunning Tears of the Kingdom. The community for that is a bit over-focused on any% in my opinion, but exploring master sword rta route options has been really fun. MSRTA starts at new game, ends at getting the master sword. First known run of the category was 2:10:36 which means sub-2 should come fairly easily. For comparison, 2:30 was a goal time for master sword rta in Breath of the Wild for quite a while.

Also sometimes working on my casual file for it, I haven't quite finished all the quests yet.

[–] Seda@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago

Tears of the Kingdom on my steam deck :) That and Warhammer III. Want Diablo IV but kind of broke at the moment
