What are you playing?

[KrazyT]

Never played the Lost Mission, I guess I'll finish my D3BFG save one day which I started last spring and then play it.

It's a short extension, 2/3 hours, worth it
In the BFG Edition (played it on GOG) you can start directly the Lost mission extension if you want

 

[Zazigalka]

While true, I've done what you're doing. As you progress, the missions are going to be a PITA.

will be ready for them.
meanwhile, had fun taking out maelstrom

I'm not parroting Hercule Poirot, but it's a murder on the not orient express with Herman Merman in Loco Motive. I have figure out the screenshot key in gog but not where it saves..so print screen it is.

Realized Kiwami 2 has taken the place of watching original Die Hard movie on or around Christmas. Also realized how dull playing nothing but open world games without a feasible end point had become sometime last night when I got near the end of K2.

Looking forwards to full playthrough starting with Yakuza 0 a lot more than I was before. Ballot is very much out on any newly produced game including the latest entry to this series.

That is unwise..

(PS, RIP Alan Rickman. He left us too soon!)

Played a bit of Witcher 3 from old save game but on my laptop. Its old gen but IMO it still looks great no need for next gen update. Cerys becoming queen and then to her sidequest. Sorry Yen maybe next playthrough.

Watch Dogs 2 is one of my all time favourite games. The characters are interesting and likeable, the dialogue is amusing, the hacking and sneaking are just superb and the storyline is fun and not in the least bit soppy.
I've finished all the main storylines and DLCs and just have a few achievements to complete, but it's a shame there's no new game+. There is a mod for that, but it seems experimental.
It all went to hell with WD Legion.

NHL24 @ PS4 with my little brother. Me with NY Rangers, brother with Hurricanes, 2-2 after first period.

I suck at modern NHLs, NHL98 on PS1 is my shit

Getting closer..in Loco Motive

@nomdeplume Screenshots are saved in the Documents folder weirdly enough

 

[Zazigalka]

I started watching TWD a couple of weeks ago, currently I'm near the end of s10. Have a strong hankering to replay Days Gone and both Dying Light games.

 

[Steve-007UK]

Mainly playing Black Myth Wukong but have a drive on AMS2 sometimes.
Started my 3rd NG+ run and loving it and some of the boss fights seem so easy now but still funny.

The new update added some new cool stuff such as boss rush mode and a few other things, After almost 194 hours played i am still not bored of it lol.

Probably alongside save files and everything else you could want backed up in one location. Unlike a certain defunct console manufacturer who's fortunes rose with a software company they infused with cash to avert bankruptcy.

Grinding low levels on Yakuza 0 and saving probably every 5 minutes. Immediately missed save file multiple targeted hours nearer to point laying groundwork begins to pay off.
After re-reaching that point I'll dig into Majima Saga on Kiwami 2.

Anyone else having struggles with Forza Horizon 5 lately. FH4 was absolutely horrible for the longest time with regards to +40 minutes waits between races and crashing. Then one day it was suddenly perfect. FH5 appears to be taking a similar road to ruin.

 

[jak_2456]

I just recently beat Superliminal. Great game, especially for those who enjoy puzzle games like Portal. I enjoyed it. Good end message too.

 

[Hyderz]

Tried out dying light 2 last night and the first hour was super meh....
Hopefully the pace picks up later

 

[nomdeplume]

Quickly warming to Yakuza 0 a few more chapters in. Especially the mini-games punch above how heavily weighted towards awkward mechanics a lot of other places feel. To that end I'm pretty solid on the Cabaret being a lot of fun.

 

[RUSerious]

Just finished Black Mesa (2020 version) and the Blue Shift mod for it. Loved them - a bit harder than HL2. Now I really want HL3 to be developed!

 

[Kapone33]

Rieza dropped an update for Auto Mobilista 2 and I have been playing the snot out of it. Guess what Track you can drive on since 20 years for me? Yep Mosport and if you want to do the original Hockenhiem it is there too.

Reading fast, I thought there was an Auto Modellista 2

 

[theouto]

I recently got this game gifted by a friend, it's Fran Bow! It's a point and click game, much different to what I am used to playing, but still quite good so far.

 

[Splinterdog]

I'm enjoying Forza Horizon 5 much more than I did first time around. Hot Wheels is the icing on the cake because it's massive and you need to qualify in loads of different challenges to drive it to its full extent.
The game runs like a peach on my rig and I'm glad I bought it.
It's a shame they never made a Hot Wheels expansion for FH4 because Fortune Island isn't quite as good.

The holidays are stressful for everyone. Even the one's not prone to blasphemy.

Some puzzles required the Dirk Chiselton hotline for a hint.

Now to make dinner.

So... Space Marine 2. I played this for 10 hours now.

I guess its 10 hours I won't get back. Not my game, despite it being totally my setting. The combat just doesn't make the slightest bit of sense, you're mashing buttons, you want to parry things, but there's five attacks incoming and somehow 4 miss and you parry the one because you pressed a button. Okay. Anything bigger than a termite must be executed with a very special 5 second (!!) long animation or you'll be shooting another full clip at it before it dies. So this game summarizes as mashing buttons to allow yourself to hit E and execute something, rinse and repeat, and pray you don't die in the process from one of the (heavily telegraphed) extra special attacks you 'must dodge or parry'... because they're different from the myriad of other stuff flying at you, for reasons unknown.

What the F. Now I know Space Marine 1 wasn't THAT different but somehow back then it was okay, but now with the heavily improved animations and environments it just looks so stupid, and plays so weird. It also stings that the game thinks it is as well balanced and plays like a Darktide or Vermintide, but it never even remotely reaches the same level of kinetic combat and feeling that your stuff just 'has to connect' well to succeed. I quickly just felt like I was balancing cheap tricks to survive to the next checkpoint so I could die/revive my way forward. There's little reward in being better, too. You're still going to take about as long to get to that next checkpoint anyway.

What also doesn't help is that its clearly a game that constantly has predictable checkpoints you're passing through. It almost immediately feels like and plays like an online co-op thing like Darktide. Not exactly immersive, despite the very much okay dialogue. That kind of level design is passable in the online environment... but in scripted campaign missions? Eh... it quickly feels like you're just walking from one repetitive encounter to the next. Yes, much explosions and spectacle... but you're not really part of it.

Its a shame really because the setting and all that is done well, the atmosphere is great. I just couldn't get into it because the gameplay got in the way.
