I’ve broken my winning streak, and found my way back into Eve Online again. This time I’m in Faction Warfare, which actually seems like fun, and not an eternal blobfest all over the place.
Age of Empires 2 DE. That is my go to game and I currently play through all the campaigns. There are so many, it is great!
:o I’ve always played these games in multiplayer. Maybe I ought to give the singleplayer a go some time too!
Totally worth it imo. Not joking, there are hundreds of hours single player campaigns to be played and they tell interesting stories.
The new Aliens game looks interesting. I’ve had this xcom itch for a long time, hopefully this will be able to scratch it
:O for some reason I thought this was going to be just another generic shooter. Looks great! Let me know what you thought.
Amnesia: The Bunker.
Excellent game. Minimally annoying sometimes, but it’s worth it. I play it differently than other games to improve the experience: I have a printed map of the bunker (with markings, coloring to mark where I was and where it’s safe and a legend), a small music stand lamp (to see the map, the room is otherwise dark) and a piece of paper to write down to-do’s and general things to remember. That makes it even more fun, while further making this game a bit more playable for cowardly-me. :D
If anyone plays this game, you need to try that out! It really feels different than “just playing” a game or this game in particular. Try to mix things up so you can have as much fun too!
I held off on Cyberpunk since even after the performance and bug issues were mostly fixed, I kept hearing complaints about stats and upgrade systems. I heard the next update is going to make a ton of changes and fix the gameplay, but I decided to buy the game now and play a bit so I can see the before/after.
According to steam I have 4 hours in-game, but really that was 2 hours of tweaking settings to try and fix a stuttering issue that made the game unplayable. Turns out my mouse being set to 1000hz polling was the problem; lowered my mouse to 500hz and the game runs smoothly. That has never been a problem for me in any Unity or Unreal game, if RedEngine can’t support 1000hz the least they could do is add a popup to tell me that’s what the issue is so I don’t waste time toggling every setting and reinstalling drivers for no reason. After that I spent like an hour customizing my character, and in the hour in which I was actually playing the game I made my way through some of the intro/tutorial missions.
Not a good experience starting out, but I’m hoping to have enough time this week to finish the intro stuff and finally be able to run around the city.
I’ve been playing it since the beginning :P It runs surprisingly well on the Steam Deck (no stutters, crashing, etc.), although it’s best left plugged in. Unfortunately, the most recent update introduced a number of glitches again, but nothing game breaking. The story is very good, although not on the level of The Witcher series, and there are a number of interesting easter eggs and hidden quests you can find. If you can look past some of the (sometimes hilarious) bugs, it’s a very cool game. :)
Yeah I have a Radeon 6800, and when my mouse was at 1000hz polling even the SteamDeck graphics preset at 1080p dropped to 1fps. But after lowering the mouse polling in Razer Synapse, Cyberpunk’s performance has been surprisingly good. Now I can run the preset with high-ultra graphics + low raytracing at 4k, usually around 50fps.
The new Season of Deep Rock Galactic. I don’t really like this seasons weapon frameworks, but there’s still some cool cosmetics to unlock. Like a plague doctor mask with a fancy hat. :3
_*shpelling_
In addition to the new Zelda, I’ve been playing a lot of Super Mario Bros 3. That game holds up so much better than the original.
I’ve had Ocarina of Time on the backburner for most of the year (I hate the water temple so much) just waiting for me to get back to it, so meanwhile I’ve been playing Cataclysm Dark Days Ahead without tiles (couldn’t get em to work on a Mac and gave up) and I feel like I’ve finally been getting a grasp on it and it feels like an awesome nostalgia trip to playing Nethack as a kid and suddenly seeing through the Matrix. There’s just so much more stuff going on than any roguelike I used to play. This game is absolutely massive.
I downloaded OpenTTD for the millionth time and got sucked into it again. Many sleepless nights!
Just finished Hi-Fi Rush. that was a fun ride. will probably wait until FFXVI comes out
I’ve been playing Prey. It runs great on Steam Deck and is a lot of fun overall. That and No Man’s Sky are my games of the summer so far
I play ALOT of RimWorld lately.
Nothing really, unfortunately. Life has been busy lately and, with kids, gaming is almost nonexistent.
This weekend my wife and kids will be out of town for five days and I’m honestly contemplating buying either Tears of the Kingdom or Diablo IV and just going to town on one of those all weekend…
Do it! Have some fun! Order a Pizza and get yourself something nice to drink. Wear your most comfortable shorts and relax!
Battlebit remastered. Definitely got curious from their ads, but it is a battlefield experience like no other. Puts 2042 to shame. It looks silly but its challenging in all the right ways.
I just restarted Kingdom of Amalur: Reckoning. I started it almost 10 years ago but didn’t get very far. It’s dated, but I’m really enjoying it so far!
