What Video Games Are You Currently Playing

I had no idea (spoiler):

This needs to be re-created in GTA6, as a random encounter side mission thing (if you played GTA5, you'd know what I mean), and this random blind guy shows up while you're playing and asks for something non-related to wherever you are...... how did he make to the beach???... 

Played and beat Inscryption. It's... an experience. I think the first act was my favorite, kinda dragged on by the end but pretty cool overall.

New game+ update supposedly live on Alan wake 2. That's probably next

bought a steam deck recently. having a lot of fun with Dave The Diver rn

Nearing the end of Baldur's Gate 3, my strategy for a while now has been to fill my party with druids and other spellcasters, summon every possible summon, and buff the whole team with aid and longstrider. Combat takes a while with 20+ units on the team but it's so much fun. And it's just so ridiculous walking down the city streets with this massive army of freaks.

I beat Tunic. I was skeptical going in, but it's a pretty good game. I didn't do the full ending because that's pretty crazy with frustrating sleuthing.

I just started Cocoon. It's a new game from two of the designers that did Limbo/Inside. It's pretty good so far.

Phantasy Star IV 4ever

I beat Cocoon. It's a perfectly find puzzle game, but it just didn't feel special to me. 

Gonna take a break, then either jump into Pikmin 4 or The Talos Principle 2.

I liked cocoon. Short and sweet. Talos 2 is.. ok. I still haven't beat it, but I've unlocked the final area. The puzzles are decent, but it's a baffling game for a few reasons. The environments are incredibly expansive and detailed, even the indoor ones, but are somehow devoid of very little reason to interact with the, so it's a lot of running to the next place.  I also feel like the narration and story is a bit heavy handed and I feel very detached and disinterested in it even though it shoves it in your face. The new mechanics are cool, but I haven't been super amazed by the puzzles like I was in the first game and DLC. I'm going through and doing the stuff I missed, as those puzzles are a little bit more interesting/difficult.

That's a bummer. I loved the first and the narrative of it too. I never played the DLC though.

I still think it's worth playing, especially if you like the narrative aspects. Theres a lot of people who really like it, and I'm enjoying the puzzles quite a lot.

carrion.

tables turned. giant alien beast puzzler, moving around building and tunnels. relies upon eating people to grow and regain health. quite effective, a little hard to control at times, not always clearly understandable, but nicely produced on the whole.

Theres DLC? 

I liked the "vibe" and the puzzle mechanics, although it wasn't too hard - I found that i could brute force most of the ones i got stuck, some I even solved without knowing exactly why it worked.

The first game has DLC, Road to Gehenna. It's really good. I think Talos 2 will eventually get DLC with harder puzzles eventually, the devs have hinted at it.

WATMM Exclusive: the next iD Software game is:

... all jokes aside, if y'all over there are working on a new "Keen"......... don't reboot him, enough with the reboots, Doom (2016) still makes me mad sometimes... I think it's time, for:

COMMANDER KEEN: THE UNIVERSE IS TOAST!

Yeah had the same experience.

looking forward to Switch 2 and Prince of Persia.

anyone using boosteroid cloud gaming? It was really good but now you have to wait around 30-50minutes until you can play your game and even then it sometimes does not work and you have to restart the countdown which makes me consider boosteroid completely broken right now. Had to switch to the much more expensive shadow gaming to solve the problem. Maybe I will invest more time to find a boosteroid alternative as you don’t have to wait for steam games to finish installing and can play instantly. The performance of the stream was also better. 

Disco Elysium.

Quake Tournament going on in Stockholm, Sweden very dope! 

Play Quake!

lest not forget they also doubled up on that capitalism with the 2600+ and (allegedly) have an 800 model coming next
