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!
Turnip Boys robs a Bank.
Go play it.
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!
Cool didn’t know there was a sequel or spinoff. Thanks for the heads up!
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
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.
beat Pikmin 2, used a gecko code to stop the timer, gonna go for 100% now
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.
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.
Helldivers 2 with friends. But the 1.0 of Last Epoch released Wednesday evening. Can’t wait for the weekend !
How’s Helldivers been? I was a big fan of the first game but I’m having trouble justifying the full price purchase with a lot of the reviews talking about crashes. I’ll still probably end up buying it though.
I’m also a big fan of the first game. It’s literally the same game but with a huge graphic upgrade. You will not be surprised by the gameplay loop.
But the big plus is the ambiance. I feel like I’m in an action movie (the fog, the effects, the music) and with friends it’s awesome to share that feeling.
I don’t have experienced any crashes so far on PS5. But we had long queues at the release. It’s far better now (1-2 minutes yesterday). However the quickplay is still broken for me (tried yesterday). So if you don’t have a group of friends to play with, it’s gonna be rough without matchmaking.
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 getting around to playing Disco Elysium. I know I’m late to the party but holy cow what a trip
Assassin’s creed 3 remaster, Tomb Raider Trilogy, Just Cause… Its just a coincidence all im playing right now are old games, lol.
I thought Just Cause was pretty meh, Just Cause 2 was incredible regardless of the jank though (played it revently). If you decide to play the second installment, I recommend installing the grappling hook mod that lets you grapple from waaay farther - otherwise traversel becomes a pain since the world‘s insanely big. Also, you gotta turn off a few graphic options on modern PCs or the game crashes randomly (and will still crash regardless when you get close to the skull island, at least for me).
I started a Minecraft server with the Ars Nouveau mod. It’s completely fantastic.
What’s the mod about? I recall playing a feed the beast modded server ages ago and it was one of the coolest gaming experiences I’ve ever had
It introduces a modular magic system, where you learn spell components and make your own spells. Eventually your magic gets powerful enough that you don’t need most tools. It also adds rituals, familiars, enchantments, and some automation.
I really like that instead of introducing a lot of extra fluff, it utilizes underused Minecraft ores, mainly gold and those purple crystals.
Ooh, that sounds super rad. I loved the thaumaturgy mod back in the day. I bet my buddies would dig that too, I will check it out! Thanks!
Playing Occupy White Walls occasionally. Playing Shattered Pixel Dungeon on my phone. Pondering buying that uhhh roguelite ‘poker’ deck building game whose name has gone out my head now
Balatro. It’s good. I love making cursed poker hands with aces that count as every suit and granite blocks and then racking my score multiplier up to 86x with stacked jokers. It’s a fun game.
I watched someone get like 15k with a single 5
Amazing, a great game you can make insane!
Finished my first a BG3 run, blind. Was considering starting a second run, with “perfect” choices (and mods) but it seems that patch 6 broke quite some things.
Gonna spend time playing “dad games”, then. I don’t know what’s so appealing about those “X simulator” games, but I can absolutely get lost in them.
Patch 6 only really broke the script extender (well hotfix #18 really)nvm, just checked, it’s up to date! (hotfix #19 is supported!)
pretty much everything is up to date!
But reports about bugs introduced by patch 6 are still pouring in :( the two hotfixes helped, but I’m still gonna wait.
