I’m still on Ragnarok and Returnal mostly but looking into picking up Alan Wake Remastered or Jusant.
Hopefully the wife and I will also play some Super Mario Wonder.
What are you all up to?
Stopped playing Destiny so I’m off to finally finish Ragnarok and Cyberpunk. I’ve also been playing a lot of Rogue Company.
Tried playing AEW fight forever, wow, it’s bad, really bad. Was hoping for an alternative to the WWE wrestling games but this one is a stinker.
Aside from that I decided to start Prey again because I never finished it the first time i played
Slogging my way through bg3 act 2 but I’ve been thinking of playing farthest frontier again. Haven’t played it since it came out
I’m back to Mass Effect finally. I played through the first game one and a half times, trying to iron out the story I want to tell and bring to the second game. I burned out a bit doing sidequests. I took a break to do some mindless hyperviolence in Earth Defense Force 5. Now I’m back to the Commander Shepherd universe! I gotta finish out my NG+ because I’m excited for the second game!
EDF! EDF! EDF!!
What class do you generally play? My goto is Wing Diver, but I don’t like the weapons they have introduced in EDF5 where you have to hold to charge and then release to fire, still it seems most fun to play.
Mass Effect is great. Gameplay wise first is the worst one, so hopefully you will enjoy the next games even more.
Solo I play Wing Diver. Some of the charge up weapons are great, but everything that isn’t my lightning whip feels situational. I’m pretty sure a Wing Diver could 1 on 1 god with that thing.
If I have a gaming partner, though, gimme that Air Raider life. Glass canon is fun, but only by myself. Technical and structured is tied for my favorite overall style of play across all games. I like either having a specific answer for every situation or having one answer (BE VERY FAST AND DANGEROUS) for every situation.
Replaying FF7 Remake. Beat it about 2 years ago but want to play it again before Rebirth comes out. Might also try hard mode this time.
My GF and I are also playing Sackboys big adventure whenever we both have some spare time. I’m really enjoying it and playing with her makes the game 10x better. Strongly recommend as a couch co-op game.
I tried playing Alan Wane remastered recently but couldn’t get into it. I felt like the story and gameplay didn’t mix well together. Got it for free on EGS though so I’m glad it cost me nothing to try it out at least!
I just finished Alan Wake Remastered a couple weeks ago. I played it back when it released too, but it didn’t leave a huge impression at the time. My interest revived after Control, which I loved.
I enjoyed Remastered, even completed the DLCs, but I definitely had to push myself through at a lot of parts. The game spends too much time in the forest at nighttime, so the environment feels homogenous very quickly. And I really disliked the enemy’s compulsion to run off screen in different directions and attack you from where you can’t see them. Combat encounters almost always involved running to a corner somewhere and swinging the flashlight just to keep my bearings. Admittedly, the game offers a much greater quantity of tools like flashbangs and flares than I allowed myself to use, but I got irritated from the loop very quickly.
Still, it’s over a decade old and there was a lot otherwise to like. Plus Control was great and Alan Wake 2 is supposed to be top-tier, so I’m glad I refreshed myself on the first one.
