Hello everyone. Hope everyone has had a good week. I’ve had a busy week (3 job interviews) but still found time to play a lot of Binding of Isaac since a muscle injury has kept me out of the gym. Hope everyone has a good upcoming week.
Just finished the first season of the walking Dead and just started the Wolf Among Us. Both for the first time.
I enjoyed TWD, definitely showed its age though and was slightly buggy a few times. But a great story none the less. Still on the first episode of The Wolf Among us, it’s excellent so far. Top tier gameplay, graphics, animation, they really outdid themselves on this one.
love both of them honestly. that era of telltale games was so fun. have you played the tales from the burgerlands ones?
I haven’t yet, this is the first time playing any telltale game honestly. I played both BL1 and BL2, heard good things about it though.
Honestly, I’m trying the games in order of release. That way I can get a feel for how the devs grew over the course of their games. Also it will allow me to experience their highs and lows, cause I feel like if I had started with Wolf Among Us, going back to TWD s1, I feel I wouldn’t been able to enjoy it as much.
But yeah eventually I’ll get to tales from the borderlands! Exciting. 😊
Tried PoE2 and fell off. I get the devs want a slower game but every aspect of it seems to be “pace of a snail”. The loot, movement, campaign, boss fights. I don’t need to be zooming like its PoE1 but I feel like I’m swimming in molasses. I know they’ll adjust so much of it and it’ll barely be recognizable by this time next year, but I’ll wait until then. Or I’ll just stick to PoE1.
So instead I’ve started Rimworld for the first time.
Finally got a free day to just unwind. Gonna play Guild 2 and Where the Water Tastes Like Wine. Was gonna play Bellwright, but sadly that game seems too intensive for my PC. :/
Partner and I are halfway through the North Downs in Lord of the Rings Online. We’re like 10 levels overlevelled but this is where the main story took us and we decided to just finish every zone it makes us go to in its entirety. Except the Lone Lands, cuz even with 2 people on +3 Fearless difficulty, the group quests were a little difficult. Plan to come back later. Being overlevelled is a nice power fantasy and I feel like a sith lord zapping everything with lightning as a Rune Keeper. Game is so chill and I think it’s going to take like 2 years for us to do all the zone at this pace or something.
Every time I see someone mention LOTRO I want to get back into it but I’m still in the middle of a few games already. There’s too much to play this year!
The game itself is so chill because you can tell the original vision was to have something where you felt like you were going on a journey.
The game is like 17 years old now so it’s pretty jank, balance is all over the place because different races/sexes have faster and slower animations for different classes, the PvP has never been balanced, etc. So like honestly as an MMO I wouldn’t call it good if you’re looking for deep and engaging gameplay systems. I’d recommend like Final Fantasy 11 instead if someone wants to go old school.
But it’s extremely comfy to just exist in and quest in, the environments with their outdated hyper realistic art style still look cool, etc. I wouldn’t pay the sub fee, but because it’s free, we like to hop on at least once a week to make some progress.
Got hooked on Balatro. Still playing the Silent Hill 2 remake at a slow pace. Installed Atomic Heart and Final Fantasy VII Crisis Core since I might play one of the two after SH2.
