I started Dredge. I'm not sure why I like this game, but I do. It's essentially just a resource collection game so far. I guess the day/night cycle where bad things happen at night adds a little more to it than some of those games. I'm sure the story is a bit more involved, too.

Just started The Legend of Zelda: Links Awakening, on Switch. Thru the first dungeon so far and loving it, was amazed how it recaptures the feel of the original from the NES, then I see that it is a remake of a GB game from 1993, so it makes a lot more sense now. I new it was a remake or remaster, just didn't realize it was from so far back

Gave up Counter-Strike to play Delta Force and it's a really fun free to play game. They just released a new campaign mode but it's a bit clunky still.

Overall it has great gameplay when you're in the matches but the UI and all the battlepass stuff is just too overwhelming for me to care about. I'd recommend it for anyone who likes a casual FPS game similar to CoD or Battlefield but without toxicity.
 
I'm playing Horizon: Forbidden West. It has been loads of fun with a ton of improvements over the first one. However, the combat isn't as smooth as I would want it, especially spear combat and a lot of the tasks are very grindy to prolong the game's hours (meaning the developers didn't do a good enough job).

Back to playing Skyrim, for the 35th playthrough. Going to actually build for alchemy this time so help me.
 
I started Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader last week but was sick so couldn't really get into it. Just finished the prologue today. It seems like it could be a really fun RPG. I don't really know anything about the Warhammer universe though. This is also my first Owlcat game, I still haven't played either Pathfinder games. I'll get to those eventually.

I also started Turbo Overkill which I remember playing the demo for before it came out and being disappointed. I gave it another shot and I'm having a blast with it. It's quickly becoming one of my favorite boomer shooters of all time.

Far Cry 6 and its incredibly mid. Likely going to drop this shortly.

I felt the same. Honestly though the fishing is the best part, and really pretty.

All my gaming this day is for youtube, so it's Fallout New Vegas, Knights of the Old Republic, and Shining Force 2. SF2 is wrapping tomorrow and then I'm putting up a community poll, but I'm guessing people are going to choose Phantasy Star 4 from that. Once KOTOR wraps mid-March, I'm starting Avowed.

Wrath of the righteous is one of my favorite RPGs ever. Loved the lore, depth in mechanics and the mythic paths. The writing was very good too, at times brilliant. I bought Rogue Trader but haven't gotten to it yet, in part due to KCD2.

Both Pathfinder games are good. I'm kind of obsessed with pathfinder (never played the tabletop version, but The Glass Cannon podcast is amazing if you are a fellow super nerd and like listening to people playing TTRPG. It's incredibly well done and is basically like listening to a book on tape that lasts hundreds of hours).

Owlcat puts out some good games

Started up my BioWare Farewell Tour with Knights of the Old Republic.

Man that game still slaps. In glorious 800x600 of course.

Monster Hunter Wilds.

Performance and graphics are bad but I'm enjoying the gameplay a lot. Wish they would make a proper co op system though, I shouldn't have to Google how to play with my friends
 
Does anyone play WWE games? I've been bit by the nostalgia bug and would like to play a WWE game but have no idea what to get and the options are a tad overwhelming.

WWE 2K24 is fairly cheap but there are different versions of it, while WWE 2K25 is about to launch next week I think. I do no care one bit about the new generation of wrestlers (my level of interest is anyone from the early 2000s and back). If all I care about is playing with older characters then what game and version is the best to get?

Have played multiple games since "finishing' No Man's Sky; however, it keeps being a game I jump into on a regular basis. Completing expeditions or serving as a stop gap between different games, I just find myself not fully letting go of it.

Not sure I have ever had this happen. I have come back to replay games years later but never had a continuous comfort game like this.

I know exactly what you mean, since I have the same relationship with Dome Keeper, an indie roguelite. I've been playing it regularly since 2022... and I don't play anything longer than two months these days. I will take breaks to play other games, but then I go right back to it. As you put it, it's my "comfort game," since I've pretty much figured it out and have gotten really good at it. It's hard to get motivated to start and learn a new game that I might not enjoy when I don't need to learn this one and already enjoy it. It also helps that each game takes a little less than an hour, so it's not a big time commitment and there's a sense of accomplishment at the end. Eventually, I might have to uninstall it to stop me from launching it and force me to get through my backlog faster. :laugh:

Below would be the roster lists, so if you're happy with who is in 2K24 I would say go ahead and just purchase that given it is likely a lot cheaper.



Would recommend just getting the base games and then you can buy add-ons later if needed. There is a "Supercharger" which is like $10 or so which helps unlock all the characters from the roster list, otherwise some of them you'd have to play and earn points in order to unlock which can be time consuming.

They also have "season passes" which include 5 character packs released throughout the year, or you can buy the separate character packs if you want any certain wrestlers.

Do you know if the characters included in the season passes are older or are they generally newer ones?

I keep seeing these MyFaction cards and have no idea what that is. Is it just like a digital trading card?

It's usually a mixture, last year there were I think 5 DLC packs, some were all legends, some had a mix of legends and current people who either recently joined WWE or just missed the cut for the regular game roster for whatever reason, sometimes it will be celebs like Post Malone, or last year one DLC pack was Pat McAfee and the dipshits from his show.

For season passes, the 5 packs are usually a variety of old and new, but I believe you can buy the packs separate as well. For 2K24 they had some good packs like a ECW (Dudleys, Sandman, Terry Funk) and WCW one (Lex Luger, DDP, Great Muta), then they had a garbage pack with Pat Mcafee and his friends. Here are the packs for 2K25.

I don't play MyFaction but I believe it is a mode similar to like the Ultimate Team modes on Madden/NHL/FIFA.

I really appreciate the insight guys. I'm going to end up going for 2K25 basic game because I like the Attitude Era guys that will come out in September. Comparing the rosters there's not much difference in the areas I care about.

I played and gave up on a couple games in the past week or so:

Warhammer 40k: Rogue Trader - I really thought I'd like this game but the combat is pretty plain and after about 7 hours, the story has done nothing to pull me in. I also find it kind of shady that the prologue has full voice acting, it takes about 2.5 hours to complete, and then there's almost no voice acting at all, conveniently after the Steam refund window ends. Of the following 5 hours that I played, I would say 3.5 hours were reading. My last session I had about 45 minutes to play and it was all dialogue, literally not a single instance of combat, and the dialogue didn't feel impactful to the story at all nor was it very interesting. I was going to play a bit more to give it an honest try but figured why bother after 7 hours and I just wasn't enjoying it.

Cookie Cutter - I only played this for about a half hour. The game is all style and no substance. Not to mention the main character gives serious "edgy humor" vibes and edgy humor is pretty much the only form of humor that I don't find funny.

Secret of Monkey Island - Nothing wrong with this one per se, I was never really a fan of point & click adventures and that hasn't changed here. I liked the humor in it but it's just not a genre I'm interested in at all. Not even a classic game like this can hold my interest.

I did start Factorio though, only finished the first three tutorial stages so far. Also gave the demo to Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess a shot and enjoyed it so picked it up during the Steam spring sale. The past couple years of Steam sales, I haven't bought anything. I want to make an effort to buy one newer game each sale to give me something I'm more excited to play.

Started Cult of the Lamb.

Good balancing job so far. The cute aesthetic vs. the demonic, satanic story. Rouge-like dungeon crawler vs. resource collecting city builder. If it would have gone too far in any of these directions, I would have been out already.

Started on Avowed, not bad so far, but not blowing me away

Same. Granted I have only played about a half dozen hours, but I'm just not feeling really interested in playing.

Started playing Kingdome Come Deliverance instead. Picked it up on sale last fall for real cheap, and just never got around to it. Seeing all the hype for KCD 2 has given me motivation to at least start the first one and get a feel for it. I am really enjoying it so far!

Finished yet another run through of XCOM2 - I seem to always have an active campaign going.

Still working my way through Subnautica, which I love. So much fun.
