Another thread! Whatcha all been playing?
The recent news of the Hades II test made me finally really pick it up and try and finish it this last week
I’ve been ripping my hair out trying to get through Nodecore, a game for Minetest. It’s basically minecraft but without an inventory menu and in-world crafting. You can’t punch a tree down, but you can tear down the leaves and put together some branches to make an adze, which you can drop gravel on to cleave through one (1) log from a tree, which you can then carve with the adze to make planks, and then tool heads – it goes on like that.
So far I’ve discovered stone-tipped tools and how to melt singular items like sand. I’m trying to figure out how to do concrete in such a way that isn’t mindbogglingly tedious, and I still have to figure out how to find metal - torches don’t last forever, you see, so spelunking is an expensive and time-consuming task. If you delve too deep without proper preparations, you’re proper stuck in the dark. Subterranean pits can be save enders.
May I ask what the appeal is to that over just the base game?
Its kind of like a puzzle game. You’re given hints as to what you can do, its just a matter of figuring out how to actually do it. At the endgame, there are machines you can put together that I presume automate a lot of the more tedious labors. I don’t actually know if that’s true though, its just what I’ve seen in screenshots. There’s a wiki, but its woefully incomplete.
I only just found this but, in case you’re still testing things, here’s a couple of hints:
- it is possible to navigate in the dark;
- it is possible to climb even without stairs, so you can usually get out of subterranean pits even tool-less; it’s extremely rare to get into an actual “save-ender” situation
- as your tech level progresses, you’ll discover ways to automate most things;
- do focus on getting ore; there are hints in the rock to where it may be.
Stardew Valley, the 1.6 update adds lots of small new content in all the right places to really take the game to the experience I imagine ConcernedApe always wanted it to be. This is something like my 10th playthrough and it’s easily my favorite one since the 1st.
Whenever it comes out, I’m so excited for Haunted Chocolatier.
Just finished Chants of Sennaar. Great game, highly recommend for people who liked Outer Wilds or Return of the Obra Dinn.
Now I’m trying out the new RimWorld Anomaly expansion.
Oh man that game is such a hidden gem. The art style is gorgeous and the puzzles are really organic and make you feel like you’re getting smarter.
Just finished The Witcher 3, and just started Ori and the Blind Forest.
I loved Ori 1 and 2. I hope you enjoy as much as I did :)
It’s been frustratingly difficult so far lol. Which is fine, I like a bit of challenge.
I died as many times on the very last level, as in the rest of the game combined 😅
Loved it
I stumbled on some forums where people were saying the tree/water escape took them an hour. That took maybe 5 minutes of trying for me. My biggest opponent was just a regular wall and trying to wall jump up it for an hour. I love how different things are varying difficulty for people.
After 110 hours I’m still playing Dragon’s Dogma 2, but am starting to be ready to move on to something else.
I’ve barely explored the third major zone in the game. There is a metric ton of content for people who like exploring in games.
Definitely a good value for the money.
Who needs new games. :)
Final Fantasy III.
@muhyb @chloyster exactly.
CivV :D
@muhyb @chloyster I’m wrapping up 16 right now and was debating 3 next. Or maybe a fallout since I watched episode one of the show and haven’t played anything other than 1,2 and 3
I finished Final Fantasy VII Rebirth a couple days ago after about 110 hours, what a journey!
I’m currently playing a few shmups since I just purchased a (very cheap but perfectly adequate) arcade stick, easy modes for now and “moving up the chain”:
- DoDonPachi Resurrection
- ESP Ra De
- Espgaluda II
- Radiant Silvergun
After that, I’ll probably pick Cyberpunk 2077 back up (only 10 hours in from the free trial a few weeks ago).
I just picked up this game (FF7 remake) for my legion go. Excited to get started with it!
Enjoy! Remake is really great and I’ve heard it runs like a charm on pretty much any recent handheld
I ended GTA V main story yesterday and while I decide if I want to play the online mode, I’m going to play World of Tanks (which, I discovered, I enjoy way more than War Thunder).
