Please don’t forget to use the spoiler tag as soon as you start talking about a storyline.

Just got out of almost 3 years of nonstop genshin. I’m currently looking for a game to mindlessly 100%, like an assassin’s creed game for example.

It the meantime I’m trying to beat all spirits spiritless in Smash bros. Will start Xenoblade 2 in september, already got XC3 ready

You might enjoy the new Zelda game

Oh, I will. I’d like to complete Xenoblade first to avoid forgetting the story and the various connections and mindfucks

I’m 60 hours deep into Balders Gate 3 so I’ve been trying to chill out and not play until full release next week. Ive been having a lot of fun with Dave the Diver in the meantime.

I took a break from BG because I didn’t want to get burned out on the starting area. Really looking forward to the release.

The struggle is so very real.

I play a weekly dnd session. I’ve been playing for almost 7 years. I thought I’d check out baldurs gate. I got absolutely bodied in the first encounter.

I learned 2 things; my DM is very kind and wants us all to have fun, baldurs gate is not kind and is coldly indifferent to my concept of fun.

I’m exaggerating a bit, but it was tougher than I thought. Saving helps a lot. I’m sure I wouldn’t have gotten wrecked right away if I planned better.

Do you mean the original Baldurs Gate or Baldurs Gate 3, the upcoming one?

I’m sure it’s the upcoming, it’s been in EA for almost a year so plenty of people like myself have been playing it for some time

Yea some of the encounters are quite difficult in the early stages. Once you get a full party and some levels/items it gets smoother

I plucked up my courage and I started Resident Evil 2 Remake. I finished Leon part. Doubting if play Claire part or not. Also I finished Inscryption. I’m now trying to finish the Warzone 2 battle pass since It ends in a few days.

Definitely do play Claire’s part! It’s not as long, and there are some repetitive parts, but it does add more to the story and introduce some new characters (if you’re not already familiar with the original or the franchise in general).

Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun.

I was on E2M6 before work got extremely hectic and I put it on pause for a while. Now that I’m finally getting back to it, I love it so much. It combines two things I love: boomer shooters and Warhammer. To extend my playthrough, I’m playing it how I play classic Doom: Boltgun start only, no saves (death means I start the whole level over), and Exterminatus difficulty. It’s gotten challenging but I love the mastery that comes from playing a map from the beginning again.

Any boomer shooter fan is doing themselves a disservice if they don’t check it out.
