[Video Games] What are you playing? (Omikron Edition)

I only want to replay Astaroth boss fight again, that one was an absolute blast.

 

Got Elden Ring on Steam. Tried it for an hour and not really feeling it. I'm thinking about asking for a refund and getting Cyberpunk instead.

 

I want to play The Show but only have PC and Switch.....

 

I don't hate the way D4 handles loot, but the sad thing about it is that legendary drops already aren't exciting anymore by the time you hit maybe level 80 or so. That's because with the ability to extract legendary powers, getting a well-rolled rare (yellow) is way harder than finding the legendaries you need. Though being level 90 now, even that I'm mostly done with.

Now I'm kinda leveling just to fill in the paragon board and try to beat uber Lilith when I get closer to level 100. Once I'm done with that... there's kinda nothing left to do, other than play another character? I've only played Rogue so far and will probably play Druid for seasonal. Once I feel done with Druid I seriously think I may be done with the game. For various reasons, honestly I found D3 more appealing.

 

The wife and I have been playing Tears of the Kingdom since it came out. We are taking our sweet-ass time trying to do a 100% playthrough. It's oh so great. Definitely better than the Adam's s Family NES game.

 

It may be time to sell my physical media collection over 800 video games from the NES on up......is starting to clutter up the game room lol.

Ooooh thanks for the heads up, its on sale too.....

 

Trying to platinum Horizon Forbidden West but one of the quests won't load correctly and I'm having trouble with one of the trials needed.

 

Sell it to me.

 

You can play it on PC via Xbox GamePass. It's $1 for the first month then like $16 a month. (if You just wanted to get a few months worth of playing it it's not a bad deal.....plus you have access to other games)

 

I looked up the Switch version and its so bad lol, I remember looking it up on gamepass but had seen that I needed to have both for the console and pc but I don't have an Xbox this time around. I'll look it up again and make sure, I wanted to skip this generation of the big consoles....

Still growing strong. I don't have everything input yet.

I've played it a little (it was PS+ free game last month) and I really like the MyEra mode. Played a few games as the 1983 Rockets. I stay away from online modes in sports games so probably won't touch My career.

 

Man, wth. I finally built my new PC and am testing it out. I decide to finally go back and start re-playing No Man's Sky since it had that horrible release. Then I think I can handle playing 2 games at once, mostly because I wanted to pick up Diablo IV (instead of playing the other 10 or so games on my Steam account I haven't played yet. lol.). Now I'm reading reviews by people saying Diablo IV sucks... play balance stinks, the ending stinks, etc. I'm reading other reviews saying if you're a casual or new to the genre, you'll probably like it, but it isn't a very deep game, but rather a braindead one. Well, isn't that what most of the DIablos have been? lol.

 

Alright Nerds, I now need your much appreciated Nerderish advice.

I have a computer that will work for any new games. I'm completely disinterested in FPS (unless they put a new DOOM out someday). I'd love a single player strategy game ala Command and Conquer that has multiplayer capabilities, I'd also prefer one where I make a move, they make a move, etc...instead of everything happening at once

What's like that around now, if anything I said makes any sense?

OH...and the best baseball game you know of (combo of action and simulation)

 

Maybe check out Crusader Kings 3 or Civilization 6.

The last game I played in that style was Heroes of Might and Magic 2 in like 1998. Great game, but you could run it on a potato now, lol.

Edit: if you're into turn based and are willing to explore a different genre check out Darkest Dungeon. Amazing presentation and music. A couple other games that aren't exactly turn based but are slower paced and very fun would be Faster Than Light and the Walking Dead series by Telltale. These are all games you can pick up, play for an hour, make meaningful progress, and come back to later no problem.

 

D4 has some good elements to it, but on the whole it sucks. The endgame really brings it down. Bad itemization (you need a ****ing degree in astrophysics to understand what is an upgrade for you) and terrible class/skill balance. The worst is part is that they force you to play on normal mode during your first playthrough, which is insultingly easy, so before you even get to the challenging gameplay you have to log over 50 hours of absolute chores. Also, its co-op and social is awful, which is a huge bummer.
