What's everyone playing right now?

teft@lemmy.world to Games@lemmy.world – 32 points –

I just platinumed Jedi Survivor (which was awesome, you should play it) and I'm looking for my next new awesomeness to play.

124

Replaying Control, I can play this one repeatedly.

My router died a couple of days ago (using mobile data to post this) do I have to play offline games... Good thing I installed a bunch of games on GoG just in case. Tried out Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis this morning, currently clearing the tutorial dungeon in Daggerfall Unity.

Right now, Battlebit Remastered (which I just bought). Despite being not that good at the gunplay yet, I'm doing well and having fun just playing a medic and dragging people out of the line of fire for revives and heals. Highlight of today was frantically healing everyone in a full chopper while we dueled an enemy chopper over a capture point, with the pilot micspamming Pirates of the Caribbean music the whole time. Really brings me back to the good ol days of multiplayer lobbies (without a lot of the casual bigotry - game seems pretty good at actually banning it so far).

Still playing Tears of the Kingdom.

I will launch up Tactic Ogre Reborn when I'm traveling. Working on endgame right now in that one.

Final Fantasy XVI while keeping up with my dailies on Final Fantasy XIV and Star Trek Online and Savage raiding in Final Fantasy XIV

First witcher right now. Tried it like 10 years ago and couldn't get past the clunky controls. In the meantime I've read most of the books and played the other games, so I had to give it a go and this time around I'm really enjoying it!

Legend of Zelda BoTW. Trying to finish the game before I start playing ToTK.

You're definitely going to burn yourself out on that formula

Nope, still going strong. Already bought ToTK on launch so I'd have something to look forward to. Got 2 devine beasts down (almost 3).

I have been finishing up Tunic. The game is fantastic and I love seeing all of the small little things that have been accessible the whole time that I have since gained the knowledge to interact with.

Warframe: Really loving the Duviri update. I'm an old player but there's suddenly a reason to build out a lot of weapons that I've mostly ignored beyond Mastery farming. Fortunately, I kept everything so the only issue is having enough forma.

Minecraft: Randomly wanted to play it again (heavily modded, All the Mods 8, I have to scratch that automation itch). Haven't played in ages, so pillagers were a vanilla surprise and so was the fact you can now dig past y=0 (along with the new interesting caves and berries). In the end, though, I'm still a dirty melon farmer that subsists solely off my melons.

Kenshi: I also started Kenshi a bit ago. It's an interesting game, but it's certainly a slow burn which I don't necessarily like. I'm up to 10 characters now, but only two of them can handle combat with any degree of competency and everyone else keeps falling over from the slightest breeze. I'm currently just living out of Squin until enough passing by herbivores get stomped that my team can handle real combat. Fortunately, mining is extremely lucrative so I don't have to worry about food.

I've been thrilled with duviri for the same reason! I've gained some respect for weapons that I had previously disregarded and sold after leveling. It really feels like it's putting new life into the game. At least to someone who's gotten through most of it.

For Forma, it can be easier to farm platinum through various means and then buy the 3 for 35 plat bundles. That’s my typical weekly grind when I want to accelerate the forma gathering. There’s also a way I remember seeing where you can farm fully built ones but it’s not the most efficient

DayZ and Dwarf Fortress. The DF official soundtrack is so ooooo good

Cyberpunk !

Same! I'm slowly working my way through a melee build. Definitely won't finish before the patches change the gameplay significantly. Not sure how that'll feel mid playthrough

Totk and I started to listen to earthbound music while at work, so I loaded up Mother 1 on 3ds... The save game put me at magicant, and I went back to the starting town and got killed by a death truck... Ninten can't breathe!

I've been playing Battlebit Remastered on Steam and holy shit while it looks awful it's one of the funnest FPS I have played in a while. Super fun, super smooth, and scratches the COD itch from when I was a kid. I HIGHLY reccomend it!

Also Tears of the Kingdom.

That's the low poly shooter right? That actually looks pretty fun. I'll have to try it.

Yeah I was hesitant at first because of the low poly but the gameplay is top tier.

+1 on Battlebit. Battlefield 1942, and similarly Vietnam, were my favorite. I always felt like Dice/EA just kept gradually turning everything up to 11 after that. Battlebit feels like a well balanced, intentional concept, that balances speed, strategy, and the opportunities for ridiculous moments just right!

Having a blast with FF XVI. It's definitely one of the most polished of recent games, everything just looks and plays fantastic. Even if the game is super shallow as soon as you do anything other than the main story. The fantastic voice of Ralph Ineson is the cherry on top.

Agree with you on the polish of FF16, but not so much on the side quests. I find that some of them - not all - add a little extra to the main quest line. But I'm also finding everything in the game to be pretty enjoyable.

Oh yeah, I was more refering to the structure of the side quests, which are usually simple fetch or fight quests. There's also no variations in outfits and crafting is barely there. But some side quests really do add to the main story. I just went through the side quests before the big Mothercrystal heist - damn, some of those are dark!

Almost done with Control right now. It's a really good game. A little too creepy though!

Control is one of my favorite games. Everything about it was excellent. I'm so glad they're making a sequel.

Control is one of my all time favs, only one of three games I've ever 100%'d on steam.

Signalis - grabbed it on sale and playing through on steam deck.

Stellaris - I've spent too much time building empires only to lose interest in mid/late game.

Re: Stellaris - me too, and I bet a lot of other people as well. It has what my friend group calls "the Civilization problem"; the initial setup and expansion is by far more interesting than the late game when things are more static. Stellaris does it better than the Civ games, in my opinion (mid and late game crises and events help), but still falls into the same trap. I'm not really sure how this could be solved, but maybe something like late-game expansion opportunities (like the L cluster, but more) and more robust internal politics and espionage could help.

Agreed. I've seen there is a mod to add more mid/late game encounters or content, but I haven't tried it yet. I think more developed diplomatic events would make mid/late game more interesting. Most of my playthroughs end up being an arms race towards the end, which sure that can be a fun aspect of the game, but not super interesting. Very much like civ, and I think you're correct they both suffer from the late game "domination" aspect.

My idea of a successful Stellaris game it not coming in first, but making it to the end with a functional empire.

I'm also probably a noob when it comes to Stellaris, but I still enjoy it.

Glad to know it's not just me. Civ and Stellaris both, game progression for me goes like: fun, fun, fun, yeah screw that guy!, fun ... getting less fun, definitely not as fun anymore, meh.

I just picked up Cult of the Lamb which is at least silly fun. Bonus points for blasphemy!

I've been playing a ton of Diablo 4, trying to get through the story so I can hop into World Tier III and start getting endgame gear. Starting to get pulled into wanting a structured single play let game again though, so might get back into TotK to do some side quests, try to finish FF7 Remake, or play through Pikmin 3 again.

Currently playing pokemon reborn. It is lots of fun so far, but also much harder than a normal pokemon game.

Last night I finished getting all of the author medals for all of the campaign tracks for Trackmania Nations Forever. I really enjoyed E01 and E04 after I got the hang of them, I needed a podcast for E05, and E02 and E03 can eat my ass.

Been playing The Last Story for the Wii. Really enjoying the story so far and the battle mechanics are pretty interesting.

Final Fantasy XVI, and it's consuming my thoughts to a degree that surprises me, considering I haven't really liked one of those games since FFX. I've already put 15 hours on it since Friday (quite a bit for me, I don't get very much time to game these days). It really is incredible; I haven't had this much fun with a game since probably Read Dead II. I'm also playing Battlebit Remastered on the rare occasion that my friends and I are able to game at the same time.
I travel for work so on my laptop I installed Fallout 4 with a modpack obtained through Wabbajack installer (Welcome to Paradise) and I'm playing through as a melee-only knight. I'm using console commands to stop up on stimpacks and radaway so that I don't have to stop and loot since I've played this game several times; I can just run around like a madman with a sword, slicing legions of enemies apart. Playing it as an action game has been a ton of fun.

Torturing myself with Assassin's Creed series, I just beat Valhalla though, pretty good but could have been better if it was about half as long. That, and Tomb Raider series, made it to Underworld.

Kingdom Eighties, it came out today and it's a little bit of a spinoff from the traditional kingdom games, quite fun tho!

Back and forth between Diablo 4 and Crusader Kings 3.

Mix of Diablo 4 and Halo Infinite multi-player depending on which friend group is online. Technically started AC:Valhalla as my single player game, but I get so little alone gaming time these days that I'm still only 45 minutes in after 3 weeks.

Atomic Heart. This game is amazing. It's been such a long time since we had a high budget single player fps with level design that not linear corridors and that are highly innovative in terms of architecture and style. Plus the fact that it's one of the best looking games out there, and there's lot of diversity (enemy styles, upgrades, puzzle rooms, weird story, etc). I nearly skipped it completely because of the Russian aspect, glad I came back to it. Fyck Putin for nearly making me miss on this awesome product. The only negative I have to say about it is the damn respawning resurrecting robots.

Diablo 4. It's good, not great but I think it's a good foundation to build upon. I'm interested to see what Blizzard does for season 1. I don't expect anything dramatic like Diablo 3's latest season, but I'm still looking forward to it.

Likewise. Enjoying Diablo 4 while waiting to see whether Final Fantasy XVI 60fps mode performance will improve at some point.

Got D4 on PS5 and PC, jumping between both of them and a Steam Deck. Really good, mindless game. Still making my way trough the story, since I enjoy narrative content more than the grind.

Starpoint Gemini warlords myself and vanilla WoW on a Pserver

just beat red dead redemption 2. seriously epic story and amazingly gorgeous environments. going to dabble in red dead online just to get a few more achievements. thinking elden ring next!

The Messenger. I saw a post here a bit ago about Sabotage's upcoming "Sea of Stars" which looked interesting, and I saw they'd also done a Ninja Gaiden-inspired game several years back, so I picked it up.

I'm a couple hours in, and I've been really enjoying it. It has a very NES-like feel, while still being a smooth experience, i.e. not held back by the limitations of the NES, just inspired by it. Apparently it kicks into an SNES-style experience later on, so that'll be fun to see.

I'm not sure how enjoyable it'd be to somebody who didn't grow up on the NES, but I've had fun with it so far.

Completely burned out, but I occasionally play Death Stranding, because that bad boy knows how to keep everything tight. I'm thinking about delving into the world of emulation, maybe some TRPGs - will see.

Street Fighter 6. I never got into SF 5, but this iteration kind of makes me want to play all the time.

Just started Final Fantasy 16 today! Not very far in yet but I am enjoying it. Seems a little easy so far though but at least the combat looks cool lol

God of war on the SteamDeck ^^ I remember when it was a PS4 exclusive and I really wanted to play it. It feels incredible to be able to play, while holding the whole machine in my hands.

I finally managed to use KeeperFX on my computer, so I'm playing Dungeon Keeper through it. And I'm also playing OpenRCT2.

In a game swap with a friend, I've been exploring Outer Wilds, and it's great!

I'm deep into the second act of Ghost of Tsushima and I'm completely baffled how I missed this game when it came out. It's absolutely beautiful in every way possible

Ghost of Tsushima is one of my favorite games ever. I envy you playing it for the first time.

It's so good. I like the cut of your jib, so I might give Jedi Survivor a closer look.

Diablo 4 but losing interested a bit lately. Not sure what I will be playing next.

I've mostly been playing Wreckfest on my Steam Deck. Fun to pick up and play a few rounds.

Just started back into Elden Ring. It's crazy how much of the map is still left 140 hours in.

You should try the Yakuza games. I'm currently on Yakuza 0 with 150 hours in it. I'm gonna have to play through again to get all the achievements, but it has been one of most fun games I've ever played.

I'm an old lady so I'm playing farm tycoon on switch and Kairosoft's dream town island on my phone.

Been working through the new update in V Rising with a buddy of mine. Bloody good time

Age of Wonders 4. I'm a pretty big fan of 4X games and it's one of the best-streamlined examples of the genre I've found. It has a lot in common with Endless Legend, but feels much simpler for new players to approach. Only downside is that the devs have committed to doing quarterly DLC, with each one costing $10, and the first one is already out despite the game being extremely new.

Just started diablo 3 on switch, got it a month or two ago on sale, started playing a day ago. Damn it's fun!

I played d1 100 years ago, and havent messed with it since. Don't know how long I'll be playing, but having a blast for now.

I haven't played Diablo in a minute, wonder if it'd run on my broke ass set up 🤔

As far as singleplayer games go, I‘m playing Slay the Spire! I‘ve never played it much before (just modded meme classes) and it finally clicked with me!

Slay the Spire is an amazing game. The mobile version works pretty smoothly.

Daggerfall Unity and Morrowind on OpenMW. Those games got me more hooked than Skyrim

Currently playing through the FFVII remake, really enjoying it. Never played the original ff7 but engaged with some ff7 adjacent content like Advent Children.

When I don't have much time I'm playing through Cult of the Lamb on my Steam Deck and it's really quite charming!

Currently playing League of Legends: Wild Rift.
Game is much better in terms of controls, and the map is smaller, less cluttered, with a semi-normal community (compared to LoL).

Highly recommend for those into MOBAs.

PS4: Assetto Corsa Conpetizione and Drive Club. My two favourites.

Black Mesa.

I started with Half Life 2 and played a lot of Counter Strike back in the days. This brings back memories even if I never played it and it's way better than I thought, too!

I'm still working through Tears of the Kingdom.

I've also been playing the boardgame, Wingspan.

FFV pixel remaster on PS5, TotK on switch, and Lufia 1 on my retroid pocket.

Currently playing Octopath 2. It’s has some interesting plot points and I like the turn based combat system and has a great nostalgia style for old pixel games.

Recently became a father and regained my love for my Switch, since it allows me to play in short bursts and pause whenever and wherever I need to. I'm currently playing through Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition and loving it.

Legend of Heroes Trail in the Sky SC

its been a nice little game so far. its a pretty simple jrpg with a focus on story and characters. its fantasy of sorts but isnt quite so goofy or convoluted as square enix games like to be. I've been good so far

My favorite game series ever. Hope you'll have great time with it.

Also you can get the EVO sprite patch (more modern character drawings) and voice-over patch, if you haven't already.

I have the vo patch. Didn't know there was any spite upgrades. I'll probably just keep it as is though, I have no complaints on how it looks

Got back into Hardspace Shipbreaker for some mindless relaxation. Also Chivalry 2 and Diablo IV.

Beat the Miles Morales game recently. Got 100% completion too. Not often I ever complete a game either. Still got a ways to go with Tears of the Kingdom, and then probably a return to Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories. I've gotta beat that game and I can finally play KH2 with a clear conscience.

Spiderman and Miles Morales are one of the very few games I got 100% completion on too. I was just having too much fun

As much fun as Miles Morales was, the story wasn't very good. The Tinkerer was lame and a hypocrite. Miles just apologized to them for the entire half of the game and got annoying real quick. I really hope Spider-Man 2's story was made by the guys who did the first game and not this one.

Final Fantasy XVI God of War 3 Remastered Remnant From the Ashes (with a friend) Ace Attorney Chronicles Destiny 2

Kinda just slowly working my way through all that. I tend to bounce around games a lot.

Replaying RDR2. I never beat it the first time, got burnt out around 80-90% of the story and gave up. Planning on finishing it up this time around.

Been kinda burned out on videogames, I've been playing tears of the kingdom but I got the master sword about two weeks ago and haven't gone back to the game since.

Still play Dungeons and Dragons twice a week

Currently playing Death Stranding and feeling fit from the amount of virtual walking and carrying I've done. Next in queue is Everspace 2.

Wrapping up Hollowknight, finished up elden ring before that. Looking to try out FFXVI.

Was wanting to check out the jedi games too.

Jump Ultimate Stars online and Chrono Trigger on DS

Batman Arkham Knight on PS4

A weird mix of a murder mystery visual novel based in Joseon Korea (called Suhoshin) and FF 16, with short dips into Goat Simulator 3. Taking a short break from Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous, but I'll get back to it after these.

Been replaying Risk of Rain 2 recently. Modded Terraria on the side.

This is one of the few games I will continue to play forever, simply because it is so fun. I love it.

I'm obsessed with Satisfactory at the moment. Just every minute of every day building these beautiful factories

I sunk in over 100 hours into update 6, but got a little disheartened when I ruined one of my factories. I am keeping an eye on the updates and as soon as 1.0 drops, I am going back in.

Update 8 is on Experimental now, and they've added Lumen for Unreal Engine 5, it makes everything look so much more beautiful

I'll wait for the game to be out of early access regardless. Aren't they adding a story?

Yeah, a few YouTubers have scanned through the files and the various bits of text and audio from the game to try and guess what the story line will be, and if any of their predictions are correct, then it'll be super interesting

I've been stuck on All The Mods 8 (Minecraft "kitchen sink" modpack) for the last week or two. Kinda just caveman-ing my way through all the quests. Playing with Minecolonies and setting up an RFTools Builder in the mining dimension so I don't have to manually mine most resources any more. I keep meaning to get back into ComputerCraft, maybe that's my objective for this evening.

How stable is ATM8? It's been a while since I tried running one of the ATM packs, but I remember having some serious lag issues.

Okay, I can reply to myself but no one else in this thread. Awesome user experience Lemmy.

Been going on rotation between Factorio, Path of Exile, and Need for Speed Underground 2 for a few months now. Hard recommend all 3

Underground 2 might be one of my favorite games of all time. I played it so much growing up that the green 350z is probably forever ingrained into my brain

Still trying to get into Tears of the Kingdom after 50 hours. I absolutely loved BOTW but I really have trouble feeling involved with TOTK, it feels like I've already played the game. They slightly changed everything just a bit, just enough to change the gameplay feeling but not enough for me to feel the same appeal to explore the world.

Still playing Tears of the Kingdom. I’m about 70 hours in.

Heh same. I'm about 2x the time as you but uh... Only have 2 of the main dungeons completed 😂

I have a LOT of battery now though, so at least there's that!

I also finished Jedi Survivor story, but not 100% completion. Been eyeing the FF7 remake.

Also been eyeing the FF7 remake but decided to play the original first, as I never got to finish it in the '90s. Been really enjoying it.

Just now finished a complete run in Titan Quest - main campaign and all 4 DLCs in all 3 difficulties!

Overall time - 9 days, 21 hours and 25 mins. Char level 78 out of 85. Too many deaths - too embarrassing to tell XD
