Scored the Ratchet & Clank Collection for PS3 on Ebay this week, cannot wait to play
Super Mario Sunshine, going for my first 100%
Is it patience if I’ve already played it? The wife and I are running through metal gear solid 3 after beating 2. PS3 emulator is snappy and the metal gear HD collection is pretty good!
Maybe metal gear solid peace walker can count as patient, as I haven’t played that yet.
civ6! ive never played civilization before, but my kid says its great and it was on sale for 3$
If you don’t enjoy it, don’t discount the franchise. Personally I prefer civ 4 over civ 6, and civ 4 has the bonuses of 1) being the only video game to ever win a Grammy award and 2) extensive voice work by Leonard Nimoy
what did you not like about 6?
Too clunky and slow paced for me compared to previous installments. Also not a huge fan of how the different victory conditions/requirements were balanced compared to older games. They just crammed too many new mechanics in there for the game to flow like it used to. If you’ve never played civ before these things may not even bother you since you have no previous experience with earlier installments to compare it to.
thanks! ill try 4 if 6 seems annoying with those characteristics
I’ll back up that Civ 4 has been the best entry in the series so far.
Civ 5 is when they dropped unit stacking, which made combat much slower and more finicky since you couldn’t just build up a massive deathball and tear across the map, and Civ 6 doubled down on that design space by tying city upgrades to individual tiles as well. They’re not bad changes, and they do add more strategic depth to the combat and city-building, but they do make an already slow game substantially slower, since combats that used to be done in a turn or two now require several turns of rotating and repositioning units to get them in and out of the fight.
Civ 4 was the last “pure” civ experience, building off and adding to the previous games without sweeping mechanical changes to shake up the meta.
I liked 5 because a few large cities (going tall) was way more viable, which I prefer over making tons of little cities (going wide).
I just started tears of the kingdom a few days ago.
Oh man, what I wouldn’t give to be able to experience TotK for the first time again. You’re in for a great time. :)
Got the first Moving Out game on supersale and my kids are loving it. I’m always on the lookout for coup coöp games to play with them.
I’ll be heading back to the Zone with one of the STALKER games in order to satisfy the craving I got from the STALKER 2 previews recently. I’m leaning towards Clear Sky as I’ve played SoC and CoP much more.
Ugh yeah that’s tempting to reinstall once again. Last time I did the Call of Chernobyl mod which combines all three game maps and was pretty awesome. I hear Anomaly is really good too.
As much as I appreciate the modding scene for STALKER, I’m a whore for the vanilla experience. I fired up Anomaly and it seemed awesome, but I wanted the familiar beats of the original. One of these days I’ll give it a proper try.
I am on a quest to play through all of the classic FPS. So I will put some time in Doom64.
Still spreading managed democracy in Helldivers 2. Waiting for the Elden Ring DLC to land though!
That’s not very patient gamer of you lol
I’m about to leave town for the weekend so missing out on most of the new patch. Hope you dispense some liberty on my behalf!
FOR THE CHILDREN! 🫡
Megaman 8-bit Deathmatch, Heroes of the Storm, Pizza Tower, and DnD!
Golf
I started Red Faction Guerrilla (Steam Edition) a couple of weeks ago. Solid game from 2009. Though the game world does feel a bit empty.
I have seen credits on that game probably three times since it’s launch. Anytime they release it on a new platform I instinctively snap it up.
I do agree that the world feels pretty empty, but it is Mars in their defense. The gameplay loop is so good though. And sometimes there’s no better feeling than grabbing a sledgehammer and leveling a building.
Hopefully you’re able to make it through! There’s a little bit of variety introduced to the environment around the half to three quarter mark.
I just finished both Borderlands 3 and God of War (2018) so I’m in gaming limbo again.
Leaning toward Stardew Valley, Noita, or finally buckling down to finish Far Cry 3.
I recently started a new Stardew playthrough after leaving it for a couple years. Damn that game is so good. It’s like a perfect little dose of relaxation.
I recently started playing Noita. Can confirm, much time is needed for such a simple yet intensely complex game. Incredibility fun, enormously infuriating, also all your own fault. Perfect 5/7 would recommend
I’ve started and bounced off Noita a couple of times already. It’s been fun but I do need time to dig in and wrap my head around the mechanics.
I’m stuck on wand building at the moment. I’ve watched a couple video guides explaining how it works, but something still isn’t clicking. None of the wands I’m making have worked the way I expect them to, and I’m not sure what I’m not understanding.
You can give My time at Sandrock a go, it is similar to Stardew Valley but with a more linear story. Still the game has plenty of content to keep you entertained for a longer period of time and it is enjoyable, and chill.
I started the game Playing Kafka. It is a small and free game on iOS and Steam, but it’s really good.
I am playing Max Payne on my iPad too. It creates a retro vibe.
I am playing Monster Hunter: Rise too, When I have nothing to do, I take out the Switch Lite and defeat the monsters.
Probably Bowser‘s Fury (Switch), Balatro or Trine 5 (PC), and Marsupilami (Deck) for me!
