Dave the Diver! Honestly one of the most fun games I’ve played in a long time

It’s interesting how experiences can vary. I just returned it because I wasn’t enjoying it, which was a shame because it looks great.

What makes it fun for you?

Personally, right when I start to get bored, the game throws a new mechanic or mission out there. The 3D mixed with pixel art is well done. I was initially upset about the spear gun controls, but after getting used to it it is nice.

I’ve been playing for hours every day for weeks now.

What an absolutely charming game.

The HD version on WiiU or the SD Version on GC/Wii? Are you gonna go for 100% or just a casual playthrough? :)

Personally TP has to be my favorite Zelda title, I replay it casually every 2 years or so.

I am Playing on Wii with 480p, I’ll probably 100% when I get the time to do it. It’s awesome to revisit it from time to time :)

The world is mirror imaged on Wii! I did my first playthrough on wii and second playthrough on WiiU HD and I kept thinking things were on the opposite side of the map. Love this game, fantastic dungeons, just wish bosses were harder

I have been replaying Divinity 2. I had forgotten how good this game plays and looks. AND I was watching a “Let’s Play” of DOS2 and noticed I missed some areas and stuff I didn’t know I could do. So much dept and different ways to do things.

I was replaying DOS2 on my Linux gaming PC with an XBox controller because I think the controller will play similar on Baldur’s Gate 3.

Fun days ahead soon exploring the world of Faerun and Baldur’s Gate.

I’ve been replaying as Fane and it’s still so much fun. I’m almost 500 hours in and still can play a new story line.

I’m close to hitting maximum hype for BG3.

Yep. Only a couple of weeks now.

Baldur’s Gate 3 has a community in the Fediverse.

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !baldurs_gate_3@lemmy.world

Ayy, I’m also currently playing DOS2. Recently remembered that I never finished it; started a co-op campaign of it with my ex on PS4 years ago, then had a house fire and never bought another console. In early Act IV now, so I should have time to finish it up before BG3 releases.

DOS2 is a great game, and I’m enjoying my playthrough (running ranger Ifan, rogue Sebille, geo/pyro Fane, aero/hydro Lohse)but it doesn’t hit quite the same as the early access parts of BG3. Hard to put my finger on why, exactly. Maybe the more cinematic dialogue camera makes the characters in BG3 feel weightier. Anyhow, pretty hyped for the 3rd.

Yea the cinematics was the only thing missing in Divinity 2. The voice acting is great. I think Larian knew this when they started Baldur’s Gate 3 and made the big commitment to correct this.

Exoprimal. It’s the exact dumb fun I want it to be with its own little sense of humor that actually works somewhat. If you have Gamepass it is a no-brainer. I’m not sure about $60 or $70 or whatever it’s retailing at yet but this will undoubtedly be a game with a huge surge in users when they start selling it for $30 and under. The PvPvE format works very well for it, it gives you a real sense of urgency and has you moving very quickly. Gives the fights and deaths real stakes that aren’t just resetting progression or something.

It has no right to be as fun as it is. Almost good as bonus existence

I’ve been enjoying this a lot too. Finished the story. Was just a wacky good time.

I love the pacing of the missions. They’ve really thought it through, which is not something I see with such flagrant GAAS games. The random mission changes and story elements popping in really keeps the game fresh. Yesterday in the middle of a really heated match against another team, we suddenly got dropped into an arena and all of us had to work together to take down a neo T-Rex. That was so cool and I was not expecting it at all. if that’s the kind of experience I can regularly expect from this game, then they will have my attention at least for a few months.

They are really in your face about buying things, but I am unlocking things at a steady clip so credit where credit is due. You definitely don’t need to buy your way into the game.

Battlebit, it’s everything I wanted in the latest Battlefield titles and more, but made by 3 indie devs. Map votes, weapon attachments, classes, local voice chat, destruction, scoreboard, night mode on all maps… It’s great.

I just can’t get it to “click” for me and I don’t know why; I should love it. I shall persevere.

Cheat code for having maximum fun is to make death noises over local chat whenever you’re shot.

The top rated comment on here when it first came out was “Everyone talking positively about it must be a shill, there’s no way a game can be that good”

It really just is that good!
