New week new games! Whatcha all been playing? I decided to finally finish paper Mario ttyd (emulated on dolphin). Almost done with it! Trying to beat bone tail on the 100 level dungeon rn…

I bought Stardew Valley last Wednesday. There’s so much more than I expected. I thought this was like a farming simulator with pixel art. Boi I was wrong.

I think finding all the hidden depth of it is definitely the best part! I’m playing Stardew at the moment as well. This is my second long playthrough and I’m befriending villagers I neglected last time and it’s been great.

It can very quickly turn into Spreadsheets Valley :)

So you are the developer of neofetch then? Just kidding of course, but the developer archived neofetch’s GitHub repository with the comment:
picked up farming.
If you want more of Stardew Valley look into modding, especially Stardew Valley Extended. It adds tons of content to it.

Gave up Dragons Dogma 2 at 120 hours.
Played a shit-ton of Vampire Survivors this week and I’m thinking I may pick Jedi: Fallen Order back up. Jedi: Fallen Order was hard for me to get into because, while it has a fantastic opening act, normal difficulty was too hard and easy was way too easy, which made it tough to get into.

Started Cyberpunk phantom liberty. I’ve played the game before the DLC and 2.0 and felt it was ok but nothing amazing. Now it’s just awesome, the rebalancing made my smart smg netrunner fun and the new story is way better than the base game.
I’ve dropped fallout 4, it’s just so shallow and gutted, it makes the mass produced Ubisoft stuff deep. I don’t get why they removed all the RPG elements and dialogue to replace with meh crafting and the story is just so mediocre so that doesn’t help either

Damn straight Cyberpunk 2.0+ is so different, I love it!
- Coelacanth ( @Coelacanth@feddit.nu ) 2•7 months ago
Having the exact same experience, though I’ve only barely started the PL storyline. The rebalance and revamped perk tree has created so many cool builds and so many fun ways to play. The game is just a joy to play honestly.

I’m still working on Lies of P. I’m starting to feel like Jack Torrance in The Shining, but I am just half a chapter away from the end. Currently working on getting past the mid-chapter boss.

Is that Laxasia?
- CharlesReed ( @CharlesReed@kbin.social ) 3•7 months ago
Yep, her second phase is giving me a lot of trouble.
- Vodulas [they/them] ( @Vodulas@beehaw.org ) 3•7 months ago
Yeah, I had a super hard time with her as well. Edit, spoiling the tip
spoiler
Of note, if you haven’t figured it out, you can reflect her bolts when she is shooting at you from the air. Took me forever to figure that out and that helped a ton
- CharlesReed ( @CharlesReed@kbin.social ) 3•7 months ago
I assume you use block/perfect block to reflect? I’ve been using the Aegis legion arm to “block”, so I guess I better brush up on actual blocking.
- Vodulas [they/them] ( @Vodulas@beehaw.org ) 3•7 months ago
You got it! I am pretty bad at parries across the board and was able to get the timing
- CharlesReed ( @CharlesReed@kbin.social ) 3•7 months ago
Nice! Thanks for the tip.

We just had our second kid so any games have to basically be on the phone right now. Luckily, someone mentioned Wildfrost in the same breath as Slay the Spire and it has been awesome to play while holding the little one.
It’s a card/deck builder rogue like, but you’re deploying units into one of two lanes and positioning them for maximum effect. Each unit counts down until it attacks, but you have a handful of cards to directly attack as well. You run until you fight the final boss, unlock more stuff along the way, etc…it’s been a blast. The art style is cute (how big can Yuki’s snowball get? Try and find out!) and I love the soundtrack.
On iOS at least, the game is free to download and try out before purchasing (think it was $7). If you like Slay the Spire and similar games, well worth looking into!

Finally after many many years I have gathered my friends together and played divinity original sin 2. The first session was very fun and we all had a blast. We couldn’t complete any storylines because someone kept aggroing every npc and by the end of the night we had killed every npc in fort joy and used about 20 rez scrolls and many reloads.
After we got out of fort joy and agreed to put our muderhobo ways behind us and keep a good standing with the traders. It lasted about 5s before someone threw a bucket at the lvl 8 skeleton trader and he killed us all. After a reload to previous save we managed to sell our loot and have 1 npc who doesn’t hate us.

Still playing Shining Force 2, almost at the end. I read somewhere that Peter is the real main character and kind of agree.
I also started playing Sonic Adventure 2 because it looked cool and was less than $2, and omg, it might be the worst game I’ve ever played. I looked it up and it apparently was rushed, had a small team, and was made during a turbulent time at Sega. But it’s just bad. The controls are garbage, camera is even worse and sometimes does not let you move it to see where you’re going. The dialogue is thrown together poorly so the characters are often talking over each other in cutscenes. It’s a shame too because I can see the wasted potential. At least the chill Knuckles levels are still fun to play, and the music is memorable. I really hope the “Dark” path is better than the “Hero” path.

Replaying Fallout: New Vegas. I wanted to do a tale of two wastelands, but I couldn’t get the mods to settle out. It’s a much better game than I remember from my first play through!
- Dizzy Devil Ducky ( @AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee ) English3•7 months ago
A little bit of Crash N. Sane trilogy and starting a new run of Fallout New Vegas on hard difficulty hardcore mode, alongside more slogging through Baba Is You.
Never completed a single run on the games I’ve played in the Fallout series, yet for some reason I decided to start another playthrough and do hardcore mode for the first time because clearly I hate myself. Currently maybe 5-6 levels in and it ain’t easy compared to the really cool melee build save on my desktop.
- DesolateMood ( @DesolateMood@lemm.ee ) 3•7 months ago
Been playing The Finals. It’s a competitive FPS that my friend says is similar to R6 Siege, but I’ve never played that so I can’t say if it’s really accurate. Regardless, I’ve been having fun
- CrescentMadeJr ( @CrescentMadeJr@beehaw.org ) 3•7 months ago
Still playing Forbidden West. I’ll probably finish soon. I don’t have a ton of time to play but I’m about 110 hours into it.
- FeelThePower ( @FeelThePower@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) 2•7 months ago
Been super patient since 2015, so I’m finally playing fallout 4. Installed a few just-for-fun mods that don’t otherwise break the story or flow of the game. So far I’m super into it!

There was some random video on YouTube about the original fable and I had the urge to play it again. At some point had received the anniversary edition on steam so I loaded it up. 30 minutes and a bit of motion sickness later I uninstalled it and went hunting for my actual original disk. Found it, installed it, and the options and controls are so much better… It’s amazing that they ported the Xbox version for the anniversary edition and didn’t bother to include things like mouse sensitivity, smoothing, acceleration, or really any pc specific options.
The main issue is that the camera seems to be connected to more than just character location, it seems to also be connected to orientation of some part of the character, like the hip. Combat is jittery as all hell, movement isn’t pleasant, and everything else hardly matters… I will be playing the original.
- Megaman_EXE ( @Megaman_EXE@beehaw.org ) 2•7 months ago
Ohh that’s interesting. I found the anniversary edition to be quite a poor adaptation as well. I’m curious how the lost chapters plays on PC. I never got to play that additional content
- Coskii ( @Coskii@lemmy.blahaj.zone ) 2•7 months ago
After spending a bit of time back on the original, I can say that the camera controls are just naturally janky, though it is significantly worse on the anniversary edition and it might be due to something as simple as the increased aspect ratio.
- Coskii ( @Coskii@lemmy.blahaj.zone ) 1•7 months ago
And then hilariously I happen across this article today about a free unreal 5 version of fable some fan has made. From the looks it seems like a prettying up of the original, but might not have changed much if anything about the gameplay.
