Been playing a new save of The Witcher 3 on my Steam Deck, had played on/off from 2015-2017.
Had originally finished Heart of Stone Expansion, never got to Blood and Wine. Knowing there is another one ahead has motivated me to start a fresh save and do all content.
Finally tried Vampire Survivors. Surprisingly fun to chill with. Only other bullet heaven I’ve played is Megabonk, but now I’m kinda getting into it. Might be impatient and try Arms of God next for the Doom+Warhammer vibe.
Heavily modded Skyrim.
I love heavily modded Skyrim. Which mods are you running?
What are you running?
It’s been a while since I’ve played modded Skyrim so I don’t really remember right now. The only ones I can really think of right now are Beyond Skyrim, Apocalypse Spells, Ordinator Perk Overhaul, some College of Winterhold overhaul mod, some ENB and graphics mods. But I know I’ve done way way more than that I’m just blanking at the moment.
About 170 of them. Not able to list them all right now, but I go for a heavy realism run, so Hunterborn, Campfire, Last Seed, Frostfall are mainstays.
Oh nice. I think I’ve used those all before. I don’t usually do a realism run, but the odd time I get the itch for a Bosmer hunter with as much realism as possible.
When taking a break from studying at uni today I went to sporcle on my laptop (pro tip: use ublock origin), hopefully anyone nosy enough to spy on me was impressed at my flag-guessing skills. And y9u know what? I’ll do it again tomorrow, maybe I’ll try and name every country in the world again
Just started Cyberpunk. I gave it a go a little while ago on PS5 but it just didn’t do it for me with the controller. I’m only an hour in and I’m already a lot more comfortable with mouse over stick. Keyboard will take a little to adjust to since its been a while since I’ve played anything resembling an action game with one.
finished Super Metroid last night, and I’ll probably go back to A Link to The Past. never played any Zelda title before so I thought I’d check what the fuss is about.
I just finished Control. I really enjoyed it. I haven’t finished a game since Borderlands 3 (what letdown that was). Now I think I’ve got my gaming mojo back. What would y’all recommend next?
If you enjoyed Control then there is a whole universe of other Remedy games you could potentially explore, culminating in Alan Wake 2. Would highly recommend.
Enshrouded. I’ve been addicted it to for a few months. Might even finish it!
So, I just figured out I can plug in a PS3 controller to my desktop and RPCS3 accepts it for motion controls basically out of the box for my setup. This means I recently got back into Sly Cooper: Thieves In Time. Literally felt softlocked at the very first motion control section before this!
Driver: Parallel Lines!
Driver 76 was one of my favourite games on the PSP but somehow didn’t get around to play the other games until recently.
I’m still making my way through Dragon’s Dogma 1. A bit grindy with having to rank up multiple base classes to get all of the desirable passive skills
I just started playing Minecraft, now I see why it so popular!
If you haven’t already, push off mods as long as possible imo. They can really open up the game but they can also easily remove some of the magic. They’re like a different game entirely
Agreed, I have see twitch streams of it modded and idk if I ever want it to look like that. Vanilla looks pretty bad ass already imo
Majora’s Mask! Intimidated by the time limit, but also excited to figure everything out
My favorite Zelda game! Possibly my favorite game of all time.
I believe the game is intended to be played without it, but there is a little secret that can give you more time.
I don't remember if the game ever actually tells you this, but maybe you pick it up somewhere
Play the Song of Time backwards to make time move at half speed
Thank you for the spoiler mark, I’ll come back and check it if I’m struggling. I’m still at the beginning right now.
I don’t think it’s intended to be played without that tip. It is technically possible to miss, but you’re very likely to learn about that before the game even tells you how to save…
(Mind you, I’ve only played the N64 version. They might have changed things in a re-release.)
Majora's Mask (how that tip is usually learned)
The game offers to tell you about that any time you talk to the scarecrow, which people usually do on the way to the observatory for the first time.
The trickier bit is that they tell you about it before you’re capable of using songs, so you have to remember that you can actually use it once it’s possible to do.
I’m back on my shit with Stardew Valley again. Modded this time, mostly tweaks and graphics but also taking another whack at SVE.
I thought we talked about this
I’ve been playing Morrowind again, finally actually giving the main quest a good chance. I’ve tried getting into it almost every year and it’s never clicked for me but this time it finally did. I’m having a blast with it.
I think MW has my favorite rpg main story ever.
You’re told to learn about a cult. Infiltrate it. And then become it’s God like hero. It’s not a common storyline these days.It’s a great story so far. I just finished fulfilling the 4th and 5th prophecies and I’m on my way to Vivec now I think.
I always loved the idea behind Oblivion’s story, not actually being the hero but the one helping the real protagonist. But I see Morrowind also has a really awesome idea for a story too. It’s too bad Skyrim dropped the ball on main storyline.
Yeah I like not being the main character. MW had you thinking you weren’t too, for awhile. Until the god like powers manifest
Yeah I really like how MW starts. Right after you leave the census office you’re told “you’re on your own now. Good luck” and it really does feel like that for a bit. You meet Caius and he gives you some cash and tells you to get a job basically. Join some guilds, level up, then maybe I’ll have work for you. I just love how casual and mostly realistic it feels. Then even when things get going it still feels like you’re some random person just trying to figure out what’s going on. It’s pretty cool.
Have you played Tainted Grail? The game play is a lot like Morrowind. There’s even a prison escape sequence. It’s has enough new systems to be interesting.
(Edit. There is no prison escape in MW, but it’s a series staple)
I haven’t, but I’ll add it to my list to check out. I want to spend a lot more time in MW before considering another game, and I don’t get much time to play these days, but I’ll definitely consider that one in the future. Thanks for the recommendation.
Whatever you do next in Morrowind, get yourself OpenMW NOW, a vanilla friendly overhaul pack (the graphics overhaul is absolutely insane AND installs automatically via their mods page/nexus) and Tamriel Rebuilt. This will blow your mind.
I’ve been running OpenMW already and it’s been great. I haven’t added any extra mods yet, figured I’d do that with a second playthrough. Tamriel Rebuilt looks awesome, I’ll definitely try that one. Thanks!
Picked up Stellar Blade because I like games with pretty girls in them. Turns out the actual gameplay is utterly phenomenal.
