The "What are you playing now?" Thread

Hey... You guys can fuck off.

 

[Jack Brickman]

I need suggestions on a game that I can play casually. I'm worn out of trying to focus on playing a game at least until Andromeda comes out. I need a gap filler that I can kind of fuck around on and not have to pay too much attention to.

Console.

What kind of game are you looking for? Need a bit more info if I'm going to recommend shit.

I'm not entirely sure. I just want something that is fun to just sit and play. Don't have to focus on a story really. Was thinking about purchasing ESO or Diablo 3 or something.

I am going to recommend Darkest Dungeon. It's on consoles and they just released an update that included Radiant Mode, which cuts the time needed to complete the game from 80+ hours to around 30-40. You can still play the normal version, but the new mode makes it significantly easier for the average player to actually finish the game. They also didn't make the actual gameplay any easier. Enemies are unchanged. They just tweaked the economy and made some quality of life changes (such as allowing level three characters to go on novice missions where before the cutoff was level two) to allow for easier progression.

And even the base game is a lot of fun, if occasionally frustratingly difficult.

Go indie. Shovel Knight, Thomas Was Alone, and Axiom Verge would keep you busy. The Shantae games are great too.

I have been playing Path of Exile. Love it. So much better than Diablo 3

I think i'm going to cave and get a ps4 slim. They are dropping to 250 from Feb 12-25th and it comes with uncharted 4. I loved the first two uncharted games on ps3 and it will give me access to quite a few of their exclusives that I don't see coming to PC anytime soon.

All this talk of the new Torment game has inspired me to go back and replay Planescape. Man, I haven't played this game since like 2000. Thankfully, GOG has me covered.

I also finally got around to downloading GOG Galaxy. It won't replace Steam at this point, but it's a competent game launcher/manager that might actually get me to play (or replay in some cases) some of the classic games I've purchased from GOG over the years.

Oh, and I got into the Gwent beta. FUCK YES!

Finally, rather than pay sixty bucks for the new Resident Evil game, I've decided to just watch someone play it on YouTube with no commentary. I need to do this with other linear games. It's free, I can lounge on my couch while I watch, and I don't really feel like I'm missing out on anything because RE7 is a very linear game. I'm not really the type to replay games unless I really, really like them (hence why I've played Portal 2 like four times now despite it having basically zero replay value), so RE7's supposed replay value is lost on me anyway.

Also got into the Gwent beta. Really like it so far.

Started Dark Souls 3 back up and had no idea where I left off. Took me like an hour just to figure out where I should be going. I'm not sure if this game is hard because it's hard, or because it's completely broken. There's so much garbage that happens that can kill you, like this boss I was fighting for the first time, I got him down to a sliver of health and then he did a move that insta-killed me. Stuff like that doesn't make me think of the game as "hard" it makes me think of it as "unfair bullshit". Also, NPC invaders who swing giant swords faster than you swing your katana and the fact that PVP is incredibly broken yet still a part of the game is ridiculous. I lost 10000 souls from dying to an invader who never swung anywhere near me on my screen. /rant

I left off at Lothric and Lorain and got my DLC weapon. Just try The Son of Kos of the DLC boss. I swear if I go back to that game I will suck dicks because Nioh is the the same kind of difficult but the controls are very different so yeah. Plus my Dex build is awesome but I messed up my weapon growth. Keep at it man because I will go back soon because Lothric and Lorain and The Son of Kos messed me up.

Downloaded the For Honor beta and played it a bit with one of my friends. It's fun, but I really have no idea how they expect anyone to pay sixty bucks for it. There just does't seem to be a lot of depth there. There are a bunch of different characters with different nuances, but nowhere near enough to justify a sixty dollar price tag. Honestly, it seems like it should be a F2P game with the way it's set up.

I was in Smouldering Lake and was just getting absolutely destroyed. As it turns out, that is one of the hardest areas in the game, which explains why I hated the game until I got out of there.

I'm also a dex build, but don't know what weapon I should be using. I always used the Uchigatana in the last two games, but it doesn't have A scaling in this one. Gotta love the Bow of Pharis though.

I had the opposite reaction. Seems like plenty of depth. That persistent map is cool. And plenty of other game modes it seems like. But I've only played for like an hour so far. Seems difficult to master, too.
