The first weekly What Are You Playing? thread!
-
I was even leveraging weed so that I am not stoned too much to get less immersion but just right to maximise the feelings.
I love I love I love when games hit me in the feels hard as truck. Just hit me you know… well
Great experience, I felt utterly broken. Would play again
Have you played A Plague Tale? It's much shorter but also pretty emotional.

Hey everyone! I have no power in here, have not checked if anyone has started one of these but I feel like being the change I want to see in the world.
So! What are you playing this week?
I just started off Claire Obscure Expedition 33, and at the same time, have been getting my girlfriend to slowly wean off of Guilty Gear Strive and try out older fighter games like Guilty Gear XX and a more recent one, BlazBlueCrossTag (both to great success)
Also still haven't beat the first major boss of Nightreign, not looking forward to the trashtalk from friends after the nerf because they did it first
So, I'm thinking of starting, for the third time, Witcher 3. I liked it the second time I tried it but there was something, off about the game.... I think it's time for another try at it.
-
Oh nice. Just remember to hydrate and get some sleep. It’s so easy to lose hours to that game!

Lol literally sloging through a swamp in Chapter2
Yeah, the rough part is that they send you back and forth between the two furthest corners of that map over and over again. But if you like the political intrigue of the show or Game of Thrones or that sort of thing, plus the twist the series puts on classic fables, it will get there, haha.
-
Thanks! Would you recommend it for someone's first playthrough, or only for subsequent replays?
It is worth noting that BNW is more difficult than the original, as enemies were rebalanced in order to match the new synergies available to the player. So, if you don't mind a challenge, then it's a great way to dive into this title!

Just finished playing Morrowind for the first time in decades. Half-tempted to go back and do it all again as a pure mage.
Failing that, I have so many games in my catalogs that I'm not sure where to start. Maybe Portal Revolution, maybe Brütal Legend, or maybe I finally get into the Witcher III. I keep trying to like Ride, but racing games never feel remotely like actually riding or driving a vehicle and I always spend my time in the weeds.

wrote last edited by [email protected]I have a serious deficiencies in emotional games played considering I only acquired such taste playing Honkai star rail penacony a year ago. Or rather arcane s1 tv series before.
Gladly taking the recommendation and open to any other

Chapter Master: Adeptus Dominus
Essentially a free, fan-made 40k game originally made like 20 years ago by one guy who has since moved on. Now it's a small team who drop semi-regular updates on github. Also, it runs on Linux

Replaying Dark Souls for the millionth time aswell
Some osu! on the side

I've been trying out the Half Sword demo recently and yep, it's medieval combat QWOP. Very fun tho, in spite of my poor framerate.
Other than that I've been setting up maps and stuff for a DND one shot I've been planning to run. Will be fun to see how that pans out.

- Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
I think I like it, but I don't love it yet. It's undeniably well made. The story is told well, the acting, music, and graphics are all top notch. Really well done.
But the story isn't really hooking me yet. Something about that kind of fantasy story irks me. Like, the premise seems so outlandish and arbitrary that I can't tell if it's actually good or if it's just manipulative. I've seen so much praise for the intro, but to me it's like: "Every year on this day, something emotional and devastating happens!" Then it happens, apropos of nothing, and everyone is like, "Oh my god this intro is so emotional and devastating."
Just doesn't feel organic to me.
It's also not my type of game. I'm slightly less than neutral towards turn-based RPGs, and I'm firmly against parrying. Still, the execution is good enough that I'm going to stick it out a while longer.
- Oblivion Character Creation Screen
I just can't seem to get past this no matter how hard I try.
- Minecraft
Getting back into my 6 year old realm. Building a big stables near a cherry grove.
- Split Fiction
I've been playing this with my wife, and it's fantastic. Never boring, always clever and inventive. Just went through a whole pinball sequence that is just a master class in game design.
- Ravenswatch
One of the best multiplayer games I've ever played. Also one of the best roguelikes. The gameplay is ridiculously tight, and the new characters are awesome. I wouldn't personally describe it as a coop Hades, but I wouldn't outright disagree with someone who did.
Shit, I just realized I've been playing a lot of games lately.

wrote last edited by [email protected]Clair Obscur whenever I actually feel like playing anything. Though I can only take so much of it at once. The story and music? Amazing. The old-school turn based JRPG combat? Even with the dodge and parry mechanics it's just as thrilling as an older FF game; and I hated the combat in those, too, because it's kinda boring. It's a bit more tolerable here, given that I have some skill-based things involved; but it's still fairly boring. I just wanna know what the fuck is up with the everything about this messed up world.

Tainted Grail Fall of Avalon
Tried the demo and it hooked me. Great game so far.

Just getting into FF7 Rebirth. Was a huge fan of the original, but these remakes are just so silly it’s kind of hard. And I really don’t like the active combat system in modern FF games, but I’ll get through it.
Always playing a little Rust here and there, can’t help myself.
Was about to resub to RuneScape after a yearlong break but then I saw Mod Jack got canned. Jagex getting darker every year…

I highly recommend going in blind. Innocence is first, followed by Requiem. Innocence has been free on epic a few times so you might already own it.

I'm currently playing:
- Star Citizen (I know I know. I paid like $40 into the Kickstarter years ago and I dip in about once a year or so.)
- Last of Us 2 (again)
- Schedule I on Steam Deck is pretty fun.
I'm also currently gearing up to get horrendously addicted to Rimworld again since there's apparently a new DLC on the way.

I've been playing Blue Prince. It's fun.
Blue prince is a DEEP HOLE. Just solved my fourth sigil. It is really relaxing to go in play one day, put it down for a couple of days ruminating on what you learned, then pick it back up and play 2 more days.
