A lot of cool releases and updates this week. What are folks playing? Starfield? Trine 5? Sea of Stars? Armoured Core 6? No Man’s Sky
The weekend is over, but this past Sunday I was pretty occupied with CS2, since I just got access. Trying to get my premier rank atm, but 10 wins to get your rank is a looong time
I’m playing Gothic 3. Last year I started playing the entire series again and now I’m here. Despite it being unfinished, I still like it
BG3 for the last hour, two CTDs
Starfield! So far it’s a typical Bethesda game (and seeing that Skyrim is my all-time favorite, that’s a good thing!) but without the bugs. It’s not as ground-breaking as I expected based on the official hype, but it’s enjoyable nonetheless.
Yeah, i was hoping for something a bit more groundbreaking, but it just feels like skyrim/fallout game with space story and pretty graphics. I’m here for it, but wanted a bit more.
Overall it’s been great, but I’m a little disappointed with the interplanetary space stuff and the menu interface and inventory management are my biggest complaints.
The only thing I remember them calling ground breaking and something that’s never been done before was the mcguffin of the plot; the “ultimate question.” But even that isn’t ground breaking. It didn’t even sound ground breaking when they made the claim; it sounded like every other nasapunk sci-fi story: Are we alone in the universe?
I thankfully didn’t really follow any of the media and knew very little about the game/story, so my hope for something groundbreaking was 100% my fault. I’ve enjoyed their games and had hoped they’d evolve some of the basic gameplay. I mean it’s been almost 20 years since Oblivion was released, and while this is much more polished it still feels extremely similar - which is sometimes great and other times not so much.
Trine 5’s release has prompted me to go and replay all of the previous installments!
Finished up the new content in NMS, got tired of Cyberpunk’s frequent crashing on my umpteenth playthrough (though that’s on console, admittedly), and I’m all Diabloed out. Don’t really want to buy a new game.
I don’t know what to do with my hands!
Finished one ending of Armored Core 6, I’ll be hopping back to Divinity 2 to play through that before playing BG3
Witcher 3 blood and wine expansion, and halo 1.
Both fantastic games.
Baldurs gate 3 still has my soul for at least another week or two
I am going to finish AC Origins (Pharaohs DLC) then start AC Valhalla (I played AC Odyssey out of release order, but in “real time” order). I’ve never played any AC games before, but I am enjoying these large open world versions.
