I’m hoping my buddies get on so we can actually finish grounded this weekend. It’s like pulling teeth trying to get 4 adult men with jobs and families to actually pull together and finish a co-op game lol.
been playing hogwarts legacy finally, I will probably finish it tonight
Black Mesa(HL1 relive) (finished)
It’s sometimes horrifying scary, and stressful, but it’s so great, I hate the underwater sections, but this game definitely is a masterpiece. When I saw the sky, this game became so good
Rusty Lake: Roots (finished)
I truly intended to play through this game without spoilers, but I failed at about 60% progress. Then I found the puzzle to be not that interesting
Honestly, I didn’t enjoy this game, the puzzles were boring for me. I won’t play any more games in this series.
My Summer Car(just started)
This game is about a Finnish guy and his car. I love the game’s nostalgic 90s atmosphere so much. However, I estimate it will take me about 50-100 hours to complete it. So, I have suspended playing it for now.
Elite: Dangerous(abandoned)
I have complicated feelings about this game. The controls feel so good and realistic. The scenery of flying a spaceship to explore the planet’s surface is breathtakingly beautiful and lonely. When my pilot died from running out of fuel, and then oxygen, the suffocation process, accompanied by the gradually increasing breathing sounds, was both terrifying and strangely captivating.
However, the game has numerous glitches and inconvenient aspects. Unfortunately, My patience ran out after a while, I abandoned it.
What a pity, if this game were further developed and polished, it could have been a true masterpiece.
Overall, I still recommend it if you’re truly interested in the space simulation genre. Even just playing for 5-20 hours is a worthwhile experience.
I recently played through Disco Elysium and i think it may be time soon for a 2nd run through soon!
I’m trying to find something to play after this. Suggestions?
If you’re able to play it (it’s old), Planescape: Torment was a game that inspired DE
Cool. Thanks. I’ll put it on the Steam wishlist.
Updating my journal
Half life 1 with rtx mod
Just started Baldurs Gate 3 and have been enjoying it so far. My biggest complaint is that the keyboard map is just off enough from the Owlcats Pathfinder games that I keep screwing up small things.
Also looking at getting back into the system Shock remake since the big box finally showed up yesterday.
Re-playing Half-Life 2 with the massive update. Still a great game.
Troubleshooting Simulator. Hopefully, Far Cry 3 a couple of hours from now.
Edit: For anyone else who is having issues with the UPlay version of Far Cry 3 and hopes to find a sliver of hope here: I utterly failed. The game refuses to work. I even tried dxvk and vgvoodoo. The only “solution” I found (short of just buying the Steam version) is running it on integrated graphics (780M).
DoDonPachi Resurrection
I ain’t playin’ shit. I haven’t had any gaming time in over a week. I’m very, very sad. Perhaps tonight will be the night? Probably not, but one can hope.
I feel that. I haven’t played anything in over a week either. I’ve had lots of (good) news that’s quite tiring to deal with, plus work has been busy lately and I have family visiting. All good stuff (except maybe work), but still, I miss playing games
I do the vast majority of my gaming from November through February (i.e. “winter”). Outside of that window, I rarely have time to play, and even when I have time, I usually have other things I’d rather do. I probably have another month or so of my gaming season left. Things just didn’t work out this year.
On the flip side, I managed to get about 45 minutes of down time this afternoon unexpectedly. So I fired up Doom (2016), which is the game I’ve focused on this season. I managed to make it to mission 12 out of 13, so I’m pretty close to the end as far as I can tell! It seems likely I’ll be able to finish it in a matter of days, so long as I can find the time!
