Gaming

Is it already that time of the week? Well, I'm still playing BOTW, Dead Cells on my Switch, Dawn of War Unification mod on the PC, and some Omega Strikers on the side, slowly climbing the ranked ladder. I'm thinking I can make Gold rank before the end of the season.
Also taking a moment to get back into shmups, I popped onto Mushihimesama and Dodonpachi yesterday and I wiped before even the third bosses, I'm super rusty.

I downloaded OpenTTD for the millionth time and got sucked into it again. Many sleepless nights!

@The_Hunted_One I'm finishing the second game of the Spyro Reignited Trilogy. 🔥 🐲

I've only been able to get a few hours into TOTK due to being a "responsible" adult with no free time, but I'll keep churning away at it half an hour here and there.

Took me over a year to finish BOTW to a reasonable degree, I imagine TOTK will keep be going for the foreseeable future.

On the weekend I was playing Cross Code but I put that aside for my vacation.
I don't have much time after work at the moment, so I found a really strange game called Sally can't sleep. Digging the atmosphere. Gameplay is a bit wonky and frustrating but I love just to roam around. But I can imagine that it's too strange for most people.

Almost done with Dungeons 3. Really fun little game that was free on Epic the other week.

Also, I finally managed to get War Thunder working with HOTAS and Quest 2. That is pretty amazing. For the first time the climb phase a the beginning of a realistic battle is really enjoyable and not just an extension of the loading screen.

Just started Mass Effect Andromeda after finishing 2 runs of the original trilogy (loved them). Sadly my internet is out and EA won’t let me play which is a massive bummer.

Started playing OpenTTD again after many years, forgot how engaging the game can be!

I'm trying out Kartrider: Drift. So far it seems fun and not as easy as one may think.

Just achieved 240% in Arkham Knight. Was it worth all the time and hassle just to receive a different colored version of the main batsuit? Kind of.

Now I’ve got the Arkham itch and decided to start replaying City for the first time in years.

I am nearly finishing Breath of The Wild, using CEMU instead of using my Switch (which my gf is using to play BOTW and Pokemon Violet), and I am playing Football Manager 2007 for a bit of nostalgia.

I will then finish Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night which is a great metroidvania, for those who loved Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (because it's the same producer, Koji Igarashi).

Not sure I will play anything in the coming week, as I haven't the previous one.

I have been meaning to get Minecraft setup on my M1 MPB... have also started a few games on PS5 - but I just haven't the time or energy lately - we normally end up just watching a movie before bed which is a bit less engagement.

If I find some time, then probably Horizon Zero Dawn solo, or playing It Takes Two with my partner 😊

I've been playing Battlebits Remastered. It's a battlefield style shooter with basic graphics huge player counts and pretty decent fps mechanics!

Battlebit Remastered. It's now my favorite FPS that isn't TF2 or CSGO

played through the Lies of P demo for the second time, feels like a mix of Bloodborne with a dash of Sekiro in the posture system. super generous demo as well, lots to chew on.

Eventually I’ll get around to actually doing the main quests in Tears of the Kingdom…but for now it’s just shrines and caves and aimless wandering.

I just restarted Kingdom of Amalur: Reckoning. I started it almost 10 years ago but didn't get very far. It's dated, but I'm really enjoying it so far!

I am playing Oxygen Not Included again. I have played and died of heat death many times before, but someone tipped me off to guidesnotincluded.com, so I am working my way through that and trying to learn how to do things properly this time.

I’ve been on a bit of an Alan Wake replay marathon this week in preparation for the sequel. Played Alan Wake and American Nightmare back to back and then threw in Control with the AWE DLC.

I just started both Diablo IV and Star Wars: Jedi Survivor. I haven't spent a ton of time in either of them yet, but I am really liking them so far

I held off on Cyberpunk since even after the performance and bug issues were mostly fixed, I kept hearing complaints about stats and upgrade systems. I heard the next update is going to make a ton of changes and fix the gameplay, but I decided to buy the game now and play a bit so I can see the before/after.

According to steam I have 4 hours in-game, but really that was 2 hours of tweaking settings to try and fix a stuttering issue that made the game unplayable. Turns out my mouse being set to 1000hz polling was the problem; lowered my mouse to 500hz and the game runs smoothly. That has never been a problem for me in any Unity or Unreal game, if RedEngine can't support 1000hz the least they could do is add a popup to tell me that's what the issue is so I don't waste time toggling every setting and reinstalling drivers for no reason. After that I spent like an hour customizing my character, and in the hour in which I was actually playing the game I made my way through some of the intro/tutorial missions.

Not a good experience starting out, but I'm hoping to have enough time this week to finish the intro stuff and finally be able to run around the city.

MW2 - DMZ

I've been hearing a lot about "extraction shooters" in the last month, and DMZ was the most suggested one to try. So I gave it a try this week.

I'm no stranger to FPS games, I watched a few hours of DMZ beginner videos so I understand the systems. But jumping into MW2 as a newbie... the MW2 client is overwhelming with battle passes, account level, rank ups, perk unlocks, missions, etc. etc.

Warframe! Super fun.

I've been playing CDDA for a few days now, and you know what? This game is amazing in all aspects (except for UI and graphics). It's hard enough, sometimes scary, and very interesting in general. Highly recommended! (And it's free)

Halo, BOTW, eventually TOTK.

Gotta enjoy my life before university starts again...

I usually play a lot of new indie and old AAA games but rn the biggest time sink is Zelda Tears of the Kingdom. As anti-consumer as Nintendo is, they know how to make quality halo games.
