What are you playing at the moment?

[8ball]

Heh, I've been playing Slay the Spire almost daily for three months

I do like a roguelike. In Death:Unchained and Until You Fall on the Quest are both really good. Both super-atmospheric - the latter is a pretty good workout after the early stages (sword fighting and blocking/dodging) and the former has had heaps of good stuff added since release (you’re basically a bow-wielding angel clearing up purgatory and heaven after its takeover by demons, with occasional forays into hell).

monster Train

Still playing Pathfinder: wrath of the righteous. Coming up to 100 hours. Probably about 2/3 of the way through. Playing a lich, being evil. It's really good. Best RPG I've played for a long time.

monster Train

monster train is the best depiction of that sort of grindy rng gaming... hard to watch, but still the best.

Yes, it's really good. Lots of variety.

just downloaded it and going to take a look , but just got my shadow pc back , so Deathloop at 1440p is looking tempting. But im supposed to be working I think, not got anything to do though.

Sorry, I got it confused with the Adventure Time episode 'Dungeon Train'... That's the best depiction of grindy rnd loot/levelling up gaming

Adventure Time - Dungeon Train video

Finn and Jake discover a train where every car is a dungeon filled with a new foe for Finn to fight. Jake quickly gets bored and wants to leave, but Finn is having the best time and doesn't want to leave... ever!

New World all week - managed about 30 hours actual playing, and another 5-6 hours in login queues. It's a lot of fun once you do manage to get in though.

What's the deal with that? All the streamers seem to be playing it but it looks like a standard MMORPG to me.

It has a lot more gathering/crafting than standard MMOs - more on a par with survival games like Conan Exiles or Valheim - and some interesting faction politics/resources and PvP gameplay mechanics. The questing is pretty sub-par at the moment, but there's plenty to do and it's beautiful to look at.

Civilization 6. First time I’ve played a civ game. It’s looking bloody complicated. Going through the tutorials.

I’ve just got this, having played civ since the beginning. 25 bloody years.

The improvements over five are excellent. It’s enough getting my head around governors, diplomatic points and the climate change additions, coming to it completely fresh must be murder.

You can line up your city builds again, not have to choose every time, which is lovely. A better selection of potential leaders and finally a proper use for those religion points that went to waste before!

You can wipe out a civilisation in 2000bc and other civs will only take 1200 years to forgive you!

I dropped down to Prince level, but the bloody Zulu’s still beat me on a diplomatic victory. Bastards. I’m going to nuke them next time in general principle.

Far cry 6 on Ubisoft plus ( only 12.99 a month...) quite fun so far, but less stealthy which I dont like so much

 

[Steel Icarus]

Finally beat three floors with The Watcher in Slay the Spire. Done that with all four characters now.
Think I'll have a break for a bit before tackling The Ascension stuff - want to unlock the hilarious beta art

 

[splonkydoo]

Dark Earth mostly because my laptop is shite, but also for a nostalgia buzz. I must have been ten years old when I first played it, and forgot the name of the game until recently.

Pretty simple gameplay, but still plays rather nice. I remember it blowing me away at the time!

 

[BristolEcho]

Decided to get War of the chosen expansion as a I read it's better than the base game of xcom which I was really enjoying.

 

[DotCommunist]

found a mod to put 300 (lore friendly) more songs on the Radio New Vegas station (in game radio). Excellent selection of tunes of the 'era', enjoying the odd barbershop quartet ones slipped in there.

 

[tommers]

Back 4 Blood. Its left 4 dead but modern. Got cards and things. On Game Pass, if anybody fancies a game just shout.

And still Pathfinder. It goes on forever. About to get to 150 hours.

 

[Orang Utan]

Just fired up Far Cry 6 - see you in a few weeks

 

[Steel Icarus]

One Finger Death Punch. It's a fiver. It's frantic and noisy. It's two buttons (despite the title). It's brilliant

 

[Steel Icarus]

Also bought The Last Campfire which looks like a lovely calm puzzle exploration game

I've got it and have to play 30 hours before the 26th as I'm giving feedback to the publisher/ developers, so Il be up for some zombie shooting with you at some point over the weekend.

I'm really enjoying it so far.

Dont know what im doing with the cards though.

Also nearly completed Deathloop, which I'm thoroughly enjoying

Cool, what's your xbox name thing? My daughter is currently obsessed with Stardew Valley but i should be able to get some time while Strictlys on

 

[ruffneck23]

I’m playing it on pc, but there is cross play and I think my user name is the same as it is on here but il have to check when I get home

And still Pathfinder. It goes on forever. About to get to 150 hours.

I'm just starting this and have it on turn based, I can't get my characters to attack when I want them too.

What do you mean? Sometimes you start the fight with surprise, so you get one action before the enemy can do anything, but you can't move and attack. Confusingly it seems to let you do the charge action but then it doesn't work, is it that?

You can also set something (a spell or whatever) as your auto action by right clicking on the icon, to clear that just right click it again.

If you have a full round just click on the monster, if you can move to it and attack then it will do it automatically (the icon changes to a sword)

 

[Dandred]

Will try later, I started as a sorcerer, might have to start again.

I was able to move teh characters around but at times they won't attack when in combat. As in the green line goes to a monster but when my character is there, they just won't do anything. Been reading about the combat system and it is huge.

 

[Dandred]

Just fired up Far Cry 6 - see you in a few weeks

Is it as fun as the previous games?

 

[blairsh]

I accidentally let my PS Now over run so have it for another month. Thia weekend may be a good weekend to get my head into something but no idea what, again.

I was sorcerer too.


Check the movement bar just under your skills. If that is in the yellow, even by one, the you won't attack.

Yeah, I don't really have a problem with my character, more like a couple of the companios, there is tank type who just won't attack no matter what I do. Need to spend a bit more time, still on the bit under teh street so will work it out.

 

[Dandred]

Just came to my first level up, I can change my character's stats but not others?
