Anyone here play video games?

@GardenState so much fun though, with new free content coming out in Jan too apparently
-
@T4920 Oh great now we're both going to be unproductive phone Balatro addicts.
-
@T4920 Mate, between that and Vampire Survivors, my productivity would be nil. I don't install games on my phone for this very reason.
Vampire Survivors is also on PlayStation now and it's fiendishly addictive...
-
@alexxedge The furthest I've gotten is ~250 hours in, and didn't even finish that playthrough. My problem is that I get bored of my character and want to start a fresh one before I get too far into Act 3.
But yeah, the game is insanely good value for money.
Take the dive...
-
@T4920 HMU if you want to do a little Returnal multi-player. I'll be rusty, but I need to dip back into that game to finish off the Platinum trophy. At this point I think I'm basically just on the grind to find the last few randomly spawning collectibles to get the true ending and achieve 100% completion on the collectible screens.
Take the dive...

@EdH I can definitely see that happening. I almost immediately regretted some of my character design questions. But, the story is great. I’m stick in Act 2. My wife is in Act 3. Neither one of us have been able to pick it back up since our vacation. I may just have to put in some time this weekend since there is no F1, and I’m primed to ignore yard work.
-
@alexxedge Yeah, I found I made a lot more progress once I embraced the role-play and ran with my choices. In my first 300 hours or so with the game I think I started 8 or so characters and only got 2 to act 2 - I was having too much fun seeing all the different permutations possible of Act 1, and trying to min-max my characters.
@T4920 Biome 5 is a bugger. I had to completely clear Biome 4 for all the boosts possible and pray for a weapon I liked before I was able to clear it myself. Biome 6 is weirdly do-able after you manage to make it through all that though.
-
@EdH I have definitely found myself doing the same. With open world games I have a hard time progressing until I have no possible stones left unturned. The exploration is some of my favorite parts. I did the same with BotW and TotK.

@alexxedge I’m with you! I never ventured into online either. Might be time for a replay soon!
-
@SKT @alexxedge 0/10 don't recommend the online version. I play on PC and I logged in online for the first time. An argument with another player got heated I shot my trusty six shooter. Then all of a sudden a mammoth sized naked woman appeared (probably 16 feet tall) yanked me across the map and then smothered me with her naked body. Despite how it sounds would definitely not recommend. Bad time was had by all.
-
lol that’s enough for me to know I need to stay away.
I’m probably due another play through. -
Yeah I play on PS5 which is apparently the best choice... Mods on PC make it unplayable...
That being said there are still some unsufferable folk in almost every session... Nothing a wee bit of explosive ammo doesn't take care of...
Currently level 140-ish... It's still a very, very beautiful game...
It is currently a Trader month... Trading in pelts and delivering them is 2xXP and $. This fella wondered into my camp... Fry wasn't much help...
-
@Seul that is the thing that always gets me. The level of detail of this game, visually and storytelling, is insane.
-
youre a good man Arthur morgan

RDR II is so good. But it irks me that Rockstar have still not given us a 60fps patch for the PS5 and the HDR is still really really bad. Not even the PS5 Pro can help matters here.
I'm currently playing Cyberpunk 2077, my most hyped game ever which I didn't play on release (for obvious reasons thanks to the mess the game was in). But the updates have been immense and even though the game is not a sandbox/open world in the same vein as GTA, it's still fantastic.
Also on rotation:
Astro Bot
Black Myth Wukong
Sekiro (need to finish this)Whilst I'm sharing, I'm obsessed with From Soft. Bloodborne IS the the GOAT. Love Dark Souls series and got the platinum in Elden Ring.
I am nerd, yes, yes I am.

@Nick I played Cyberpunk on PC at release, and it was ok on this platform.
I'm really tempted to reinstall it and play a new run, this game was insanely good.
Next to this, i'm currently playing Warhammer 40K SM2 & Star Citizen.
SC is also insane (if you dont care about bugs atm). Immersive af, it is gonna be the best game ever when release.
