Scored the Ratchet & Clank Collection for PS3 on Ebay this week, cannot wait to play
I just started tears of the kingdom a few days ago.
Oh man, what I wouldn’t give to be able to experience TotK for the first time again. You’re in for a great time. :)
We’ll see you in a few weeks mate.
I finally played through it earlier this year, well worth the wait.
Super Mario Sunshine, going for my first 100%
civ6! ive never played civilization before, but my kid says its great and it was on sale for 3$
If you don’t enjoy it, don’t discount the franchise. Personally I prefer civ 4 over civ 6, and civ 4 has the bonuses of 1) being the only video game to ever win a Grammy award and 2) extensive voice work by Leonard Nimoy
I liked 5 because a few large cities (going tall) was way more viable, which I prefer over making tons of little cities (going wide).
I’ll back up that Civ 4 has been the best entry in the series so far.
Civ 5 is when they dropped unit stacking, which made combat much slower and more finicky since you couldn’t just build up a massive deathball and tear across the map, and Civ 6 doubled down on that design space by tying city upgrades to individual tiles as well. They’re not bad changes, and they do add more strategic depth to the combat and city-building, but they do make an already slow game substantially slower, since combats that used to be done in a turn or two now require several turns of rotating and repositioning units to get them in and out of the fight.
Civ 4 was the last “pure” civ experience, building off and adding to the previous games without sweeping mechanical changes to shake up the meta.
what did you not like about 6?
Too clunky and slow paced for me compared to previous installments. Also not a huge fan of how the different victory conditions/requirements were balanced compared to older games. They just crammed too many new mechanics in there for the game to flow like it used to. If you’ve never played civ before these things may not even bother you since you have no previous experience with earlier installments to compare it to.
thanks! ill try 4 if 6 seems annoying with those characteristics
Is it patience if I’ve already played it? The wife and I are running through metal gear solid 3 after beating 2. PS3 emulator is snappy and the metal gear HD collection is pretty good!
Maybe metal gear solid peace walker can count as patient, as I haven’t played that yet.
PS3 emulator is snappy
RPCS3 is a great emulator! They can be a pain to set up or tweak for performance but that one in particular is a very smooth experience.
Having some trouble getting peace walker going on the emulator. Not a lot of issues to find while searching either. Bazzite on either AMD or Intel with Nvidia GPUs.
So in the meantime, we have dusted off the PS3 to use my mgs4 disc hah!
I’ll be heading back to the Zone with one of the STALKER games in order to satisfy the craving I got from the STALKER 2 previews recently. I’m leaning towards Clear Sky as I’ve played SoC and CoP much more.
Ugh yeah that’s tempting to reinstall once again. Last time I did the Call of Chernobyl mod which combines all three game maps and was pretty awesome. I hear Anomaly is really good too.
As much as I appreciate the modding scene for STALKER, I’m a whore for the vanilla experience. I fired up Anomaly and it seemed awesome, but I wanted the familiar beats of the original. One of these days I’ll give it a proper try.
I am on a quest to play through all of the classic FPS. So I will put some time in Doom64.
Got the first Moving Out game on supersale and my kids are loving it. I’m always on the lookout for coup coöp games to play with them.
Megaman 8-bit Deathmatch, Heroes of the Storm, Pizza Tower, and DnD!
I’ll be playing work 🥲
Besides that I’m currently playing Paper Mario for the first time (I don’t know if remakes count on this sub).
Also Noita, if you like exploration and tinkering, and can find humor in dying a lot to physics or yourself, then I highly recommend. You could sink endless hours into it; beating the main portion of the game is jokingly referred to as the “tutorial”.
Noita is so neat!
It’s like if someone made a roguelike out of those sand physics flash games that were popular when I was younger.
Some of the high concept type of spells you can make eventually is insane. You truly can play with forbidden magic except it’s sawblades and nukes.
Noita just has that genuine sense of awe and exploration I’ve only experienced in OuterWilds (Also a really good game, progression is story and information based, do not spoil).
If I could mindwipe one videogame and replay it, it’s 100% gotta be Outer Wilds.
I have seen Noita recommended so many times for deep/complex games or games with a cool magic system.
I have also never fired and bought it because I don’t tend to like roguelikes and I hear it can be very frustrating, though some mods help with that. Not sure if I should buy.
(Or I could just see if a friend would let me try theirs first :P)
Just started Skyrim, first playthrough. Full weekend tho for this dad. Not as much free time as in my 20s.
Just got red dead 2 for sale on console for 20 bucks, planning on starting it tonight.
Oh man, enjoy. In some ways RDR2 is the best game ever. Some of the side encounters and story twists are top notch, and the game is gorgeous even on my ancient PC or Steam Deck. For some reason I stopped playing halfway through (I think I got distracted by Deep Rock Galactic over the holidays) but really need to pick it back up.
Thanks, I’ve heard a lot of people enjoyed it so I’m pretty excited! I do that a lot with longer games, play like half then come back months later
Just started a molded fo4 playthrough because the whole series was like $20 on steam. My intentions before settling on fo4 was 100% to get rdr2 but nixed that when I saw it was still like $50-$60 on steam.
Probably Bowser‘s Fury (Switch), Balatro or Trine 5 (PC), and Marsupilami (Deck) for me!
Damn up to Trine 5, better dive back in
Still spreading managed democracy in Helldivers 2. Waiting for the Elden Ring DLC to land though!
That’s not very patient gamer of you lol
I’m about to leave town for the weekend so missing out on most of the new patch. Hope you dispense some liberty on my behalf!
FOR THE CHILDREN! 🫡
Gonna finish my second playthrough of Cyberpunk 2077 and then ask myself what to play next.
