Gaming

Out of nowhere, I had the sudden urge to play New Vegas again, so that's been taking up my time. Been enjoying a more Vanilla+ playthrough, just the patches to help it run better. And Someguys quest mods, but they fit right in to me. Still haven't made my way onto The Strip, though I've cleared Boone's quest and I'm working on Veronica's(with E-DE in tow, of course).

It's been awhile for me, been a nice revisit. Just taking my time, and really enjoying all the little rediscoveries I've been making.

Flipwitch: Forbidden Sex Hex :D

Very horny and actually pretty decent metroidvania, lots of jiggly titties

Funny you mention Outer Wilds. I just recently finished Outer Wilds (first time), and so this week(end), I've been playing through the Echoes of the Eye portion. Really enjoying it. 😄

Splatoon 1 on Pretendo! Got my Wii U hooked up earlier this week after the official servers shut down.

Diablo 3 season 31

Still on Dragon's Dogma 2. (at 94 hours of playtime)

I'm still finding new places around every corner. It's got a ton of fun stuff to discover if you like open-world games.

I'm getting super close to finishing cyberpunk 2077. I said that last week when I was at like 80 or so hours. But uhh 100 hours in now and I swear I'm really close this time lol.

I really wish they hadn't released the game so early and hadn't released so much advertising hype about the game. If the game released in a functional state I think it would have had the complete opposite reception.

If they were to have released the game this January or something and only advertised what is actually in the game, people would likely be praising it left and right. I thought the writing and quest design was a breath of fresh air. I loved how the game gave you agency to make your own decisions and made you think about the implications of all of your actions. Even if many of the decisions didn't directly matter in the grand scheme of things, it allowed you to roleplay and at least feel like you were staying true to how your character would react in different situations.

I liked how there were so many twists and turns during the quests. Overall it felt like I was playing a completely different game compared to the couple hours I had tried at launch.

Edit: side note, Outer wilds is so good. Give it 5 years and maybe you'll forget some of it lol!

Huh, I was staring at outerwilds today thinking I should play again, but then immediately thought I'll have to go here there here and realised it's forever ruined for me.

So instead I've been playing stellaris.

I just got a PS5 a couple weeks ago, after almost a decade of not having a console since my PS3 died. Playing GT7 as my one and only; I grew up on Gran Turismo since GT3. Actually just got all gold on the licenses last night, so feeling pretty accomplished haha. Pretty hard to find time with a newborn and a toddler!

Recently started Rise of the Tomb Raider, still at the main menu adjusting settings. My PC is a little crap so I gotta take a hit in performance and graphics

Specs: R5 430 Core i3-2120 10gb RAM

new rimworld DLC came out and that has taken up all my time. I've got to admit I had a few doubts about this one compared to the others, but sure enough they did it again and made an absolute banger of an expansion and now I have to sink another couple hundred hours...

More Horizon Forbidden West, just exploring, killing, looting. While I think it's the best looking game I've played (on a technical level), it does have some super ugly effects, mainly the water reflections and the steam that comes out of the big doors, when you open them for the first time. Those look like ass. Also, climbing is pretty much brainless like the latest Assassin's Creed games, but has a few too many bugs to match it. Regularly you'll get "stuck" on a cliff, because Aloy doesn't want to get to one of the dozens of handholds in arm's reach. Same with climbing up on top of a rock or cliff, sometimes Aloy just refuses to do so, unless you move slightly to the side. Those are pretty minor issues, but are still annoying.

Then, some Dave the Diver, although that's been on the back burner this week, since I got really into Horizon.

Managed to get all the campaign achievements for Ghostwire: Tokyo, including a really, really stupid RNG one. There's an extra mode called The Spider's Thread, but I don't think I'm going to focus on that anytime soon. I need a break from Tokyo lol.

I wanted something that wasn't very combat heavy next and picked Kona. For the most part it felt like Kholat meets The Painscreek Killings - a fun little detective walking sim that just lets you loose without really telling you where to go or what to do, all while taking place during a blizzard. I liked wandering around and trying to figure things out myself, and the narrator didn't seem too overbearing. I had a good time, up until the ending. It felt rushed and just kind of... happened. Like one moment you're going along in the forest looking for stuff, and then all of the sudden, here's an explaination for everything in a short scene! Now literally run to the end! Bye! I was hoping for something a little more drawn out.

I'm not really into soulslike games, but since Lies of P was on GamePass, I thought I might as well try it out. I'm actually having a good time playing it. I'm usually not great at soulslike since they can be frustrating, and I'm not a fan of "die in order to learn", but I'm making progress and the story is kind of interesting. I really like the atmosphere, very steampunk vibes. Some of the characters could have had a little more effort put into them, but that's a minor complaint overall.

I've been itching to play atomic heart ever since me and a friend tried the demo the other day. probably gonna pick it up when I get paid.

Been obsessed with Crusader Kings 3 lately. I love how dynamic the game is

Mainly playing Rimworld, FF7 Rebirth, and a little bit of the Ace Attorney Apollo Justice Trilogy. Also finished the visual Coffee Talk last night.

FFVII rebirth. It’s very good but still a bit of a letdown. I don’t get why they went for Ubisoft style copy paste open world. The main story content is quite low in many locations. For me the best parts of the remake are the brilliant characters, the interesting world and the story, rebirth doesn’t play to those strengths.

This week i have been playing diablo 4 again. I just want one free cosmetic and I see it as an opportunity to notice how bad the game is right now since there is going to be huge changes in next season. Somehow I found the game to be pretty okay as long as I don't have to look at loot.

Playing some elden ring also. My first (not completed) character a year ago was a mage and I always thought the game would be too hard for me in melee. I was so wrong and i am having much more fun playing melee. Doubt i am done before the expansion...

Then there are Guild wars 2 wvw raids every week \o/

I'm playing some Path of Exile again, I've been having pretty good time with the Necropolis league

World of Warcraft Season of Discovery. Something about Classic keeps me coming back. I think it’s the sense of progression.

Dead cells. Never played it before, it's hard but fun. Runs great on the Steam Deck.

Oxygen Not Included. I really like this game eventhough I'll probably never beat it.

Immortals Fenyx Rising.

Feels a lot like Ubisoft still don't understand the appeal of BotW vs their usual icon vomit on a map, but the gameplay and traversal are decent.

Clocked in around 45 hours in Cyberpunk 2077 and I think I might reach an ending in another 5 hours. I had good expectations for this game and this game is just way higher than my expectations.

Love the world building, the lore they are trying to build on side, references to Cyberpunk Edgerunners sometimes.

Yakuza Like a Dragon.

It's not Yakuza 0, that game was so much fun, the minigames were more interactive, and it only felt like a grind when shaking down Mr Shakedown, then putting money into upgrades.

Like a Dragon just feels slower, and more grinding. Story is cool, substories are amazing. But the minigames are less entertaining, and business management is as bad as Kiryus one.

I miss the cabaret so much

MHW Iceborne is fun

Diablo Immortal on mobile is shit
