Have you been spending hours trying to pass a level? Or maybe you are completely addicted to a newly bought game. Do you have a question about a game or would like to share something else? In the Weekly Discussion Thread, you can do it all!
Please don’t forget to use the spoiler tag as soon as you start talking about a storyline.
Amored Core 6. It’s the first Armored Core that I have played. The setting and story are not really my thing, but the gameplay is a lot of fun.
I gave up on that game after dying to the helicopter boss for 30 mins straight lol
Try getting underneath/above and stick close to it, melee when you can, especially when it’s staggered. I found it brutal as well, typical From serving that up right at the start hah.
Make sure to do all three endings. The story is deceptively pretty decent. You feel like a real badass by the end
Like a Dragon 8: Infinite Wealth
I’m 25 hours in and barely touched the main story. Once they let me roam around I did nothing but side content. Just yesterday I got access to the “Pokemon” League and I see myself not touching any story content for another 5 hours. It’s great.
Loved the game. I just did the main story and side stories as it’s the plot and characters I play Like A Dragon games for; I wasn’t interested enough in the Sujimon or Dondoko Island stuff to get into it. And no way am I paying extra to do New Game Plus!
Guild Wars 2. Love it.
Started playing in beta, took a break for years, and have been playing it again with friends most evenings for a year.
Turnip Boys robs a Bank.
Go play it.
Cool didn’t know there was a sequel or spinoff. Thanks for the heads up!
Isnt there a Turnip Boy commits tax fraud game out there?
Never played it but so far i saw it in playthrough its a rather fun game ;D.Tax Evasion. Yoshi’s the one who committed tax fraud.
Yeah, it’s a Legend of Zelda like game. Robs A Bank is more of a run and gun Rogue-like.
Oh neat i will probably play that soon!
Watchdogs 2. I’m getting to old for this. Recently killed Halo Infinite, Farcry 4 5 6 and some others. Software Engineer. Been unemployed for a bit :/
IIRC Watchdogs 2 was slapped in the past for its cringe writing by all review channels I‘m following, so DWAI
Planetbase, it doesn’t take long to figure out but I’m trying to unlock the other more challenging planets at the moment which just takes time.
I’m on the lookout for challenging survival management/city building games if anyone can recommend one? Something like Banished, This War of Mine or Frostpunk.
I felt like going back to swtor. My main account was disabled, expired or something and I can’t recover it without calling some dumb schmucks working for EA support.
Went in on a secondary account I used to bypass the character restrictions and now I’m scratching the itch until it finally dies for good.
It has a daily login reward, some kind of battle pass, everything is paywalled, limited number of rewards, they changed character creation and unified classes, but pvp is active.Overall, I don’t recommend it.
I get nostalgia for it every now and again. A week of playing and finding no friends or fun kills that itch fast.
Papers please. Having fun so far doing the story
It‘s such a unique game, I‘d rate it way higher if bleak/depressing stories weren‘t a turn off for me, but I liked it regardless which should say a lot
Thirty hours into Yakuza: Like A Dragon. Main story has started to ramp up, but I keep getting distracted by the business management mini-game and the kart-racing minigame that I just discovered while wandering around the map. It never ceases to amaze me just how dense these games are and just how many side activities they managed to pack into one game.
beat Pikmin 2, used a gecko code to stop the timer, gonna go for 100% now
Shrouded. Its bizar how well it plays for early access. Gameplay is fun, the enemies a little stupid but can be challenging non the less. And the game feels well optimized. My dedicated server is running and using less than 2gb of memory of the available 20gb and no lag. Then the building, it can be a bit finicky sometimes but it allows for so much freedom it’s a fun aspect. Crafting also works good, in all I highly recommend it, and can’t wait to finish the playthrough and cycle back in a year or so to see what it has become then. But it’s already worth the money IMHO.
Far Cry 3 with Ziggy’s Mod for added challenge… Casual version, I kind of like it.
Ocarina of Time randomizer keeps being pretty fun.
Oldschool Runescape.
Super Mario Bros. 3 is a nostalgia mainstay.
I also gave Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion a try and got to the second boss. I mean to get back to it, as it’s a cute game and pretty funny.
Friend convinced me to try Helldivers 2 this past weekend. I had fun, but I also don’t think it’s as great as the hype it’s getting either. Friend thinks it will be a long term playing game but I felt like I saw most of what it offered in 3 days of playing. Guess we’ll see. I’m also trying out the FF7 rebirth demo. Wish I had more time to play stuff but this is all I have currently.
I’m still jamming on PalWorld. Set up a dedicated server and have 4 other people who hop on randomly and play, it’s great to come across them while exploring. It feels like an alive world. Almost level 50 and breeding all the uber monsters with 4 legendary stats. This game just scratches all the right itches, and it doesn’t even have the quests, raids, or other content they are planning yet. Too fun.
Finally got on the Lethal Company bandwagon and I think I’m gonna have a lot of fun playing it with my kids.
