Still on poe2 for now. Over 250 hours in by now and don’t feel like stopping any time soon. I took time off from work when it launched and I’m getting back tomorrow so will have to learn how to balance the two now.
Re-re-replaying Deus Ex: Mankind Divided.
My friends and I are doing Dungeons of Eternity this month. We’ve had three on at once but tomorrow is the first time all four of us will be on together. Excited!
Some ESO, some Counter-Strike in the usual amounts, however I just bought GTA IV and want to finally play the story instead of just ducking around with RPGs and “the swing” 😁
I’ve never actually finished GTA IV before, though I have messed around in it a fair bit. It’s a great game
Just found out you need to read half a book of terms to create a Rockstar Acc and need that to play the game. Refund worked tho ^^. Will probably just crack it next month.
Oh that sucks, I’ve only ever played it on the 360 on a disc without internet connection.
Played some Doom 2 (halfway through Deck the Underhalls) today, gonna play Skyrim now (started new playthrough few weeks ago). After finishing Underhalls I’m gonna proceed to play even more Doom, and after finishing Skyrim I definitely wanna play more Morrowind, some big things released recently [1] [2].
It always saddens me that Bethesda totally derailed past Morrowind. That was a masterpiece of a game, but ever since then it’s all just plain worse, dumbed down experience. Don’t get me wrong I still kind of like Oblivion, it’s not a bad game, but compared to Morrowind it’s just piece of shit. Haven’t even tried Skyrim as I fear it’s even more streamlined “experience for average Joe”…
How to spot a Morrowind player: lol
It certInly is, it feels very hollow and empty compared to earlier games. I feel that it marks the beginning of the end for Bethesda, it was a pretty steep decline from there.
What I miss about Morrowind was how unconcerned it was with being weird as fuck, it isn’t that Oblivion or Skyrim are bad it is just they feel like they got a crew cut and a Linkedin and I am like no!?! why did you sterilize all the most interesting parts of yourself!? … even though I know why, it was a career decision.
I’m currently playing Fire Emblem: three houses, restarted it last month and intend to finish it this year. Iight finish echoes of wisdom first, since it’s shorter.
I finally decided to go further than the elevator in MGS, so probably that, and hopefully follow up with the whole franchise (i only played mgs5 for about 5 hours).
I also started playing Black Book, interesting deck building game !
Of newer games i am considering super mario bros wonder or tears of the kingdom. But i also never played metroid prime (had it on gc but hated the controls) - just not sure if i want to play it on wii (i liked corruption controls) or the remastered version om switch.
Ill probably also start a ds game i never got to play in parallel.
Maybe uncharted on ps3? Never playes those. As you can see i have not yet decided :p
If you have a pc/steamdeck there is a metroid prime hack pack that gives you more standard joystick controls for all three games. I’d recommend playing that way.
How do you get that setup? My steamed is mostly stock now.
I think I used this guide https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamDeck/comments/u8748j/metroid_prime_trilogy_primehack_a_steam_deck_guide/
Basically you can install emudeck (emulation package) through the desktop mode and through that install primehack. I think it automatically adds them to your steam library, but could be mistaken.
Wonder is alright, but felt really short to me. TOTK on the other hand is an amazing mess that really hurts if you loved BOTW. Pick your poison with those two, I guess. Wonder does have a “challenge road” at the end, but it didn’t feel great either.
Yeah, both are okay in my book. Wonder spent to much time on the “wonders” that the platforming is just okay. And TOTK is just a more grindy BOTW.
Dune Imperium: Uprising. Gotten my whole group into it. Might organise a tournament for the heck of it.
Uprising is so much better than the base game but I don’t think they have a digital version of it yet sadly
I believe there’s a Tabletop Simulator version out, but I don’t have TTS so can’t say for sure.
At some point, probably after my steam deck is fixed, I’m gonna have to start Psychonauts 1. It’s been sitting in my steam library for a while and I’m positive a steam deck would be able to play through it just fine, and better than both my desktop and laptop.
Do you know if the controls still require tweaks or does it work out of the box these days?
Absolutely no clue. I have yet to even install it even once since buying it, but definitely plan on changing that this year.
I completed Psychonauts recently on my PC. There’s a Linux native version as well, and both it and the Windows+proton versions seemed to work… adequately. It’s pretty janky, which I mainly attribute to it being an old PC game.
I spent a mostly uneventful morning sailing the high seas in Sea of Thieves. It was nice.
I honestly have no idea. I did my semi-annual playthrough of Skyrim (as a wizard for the first time rather than giving up shortly in) and finished everything I meant to last week. I have to look at my steam library, I suppose
Magic playthroughs can be fun, I’d rather be a mage in Oblivion though. I wish they kept the spells they removed from both Oblivion and Morrowind, though I guess modding can probably bring those back. I’ve never done a modded mage before
Dredge, Disco Elysium and Mines of Moria
I don’t encourage anyone to playing around with proprietary software games. Instead there’s plenty of great foss games that you can have fun trying and playing
Fallout New Vegas, finally getting around to playing it!
I played it this time of year last year, also first time. It’s pretty solid, much better than FO3 which felt too shallow…
How? Did you dig an old PC out of storage?
I can’t get New Vegas to run on a modern PC without it constantly crashing, even when with the fan patches and mods that supposedly allow it to work on newer PCs. Please share your secrets.
It runs perfectly under Proton via the Steam runtime for me. Genuinely- maybe try Linux?
I bought it on GOG and it worked out of the box, but I might just be lucky.
