What’s everyone on /m/gaming playing lately?

I’m still making my way through the Diablo IV campaign, really enjoying that but looking forward to blasting and figuring out if I enjoy the endgame more than anything at this point. I’m a binge Path of Exile player but the past few leagues haven’t really done it for me. It’s been nice to play an ARPG again and I’m enjoying D4’s slower pace. Zoom zoom is great in POE, but it’s nice to get back to basics a little bit.

Went with Whirlwind Barbarian. Know it’s meta, but Cyclone Slayer is my favorite POE build so I’m just trying to enjoy my time as the overpowered class rather than fighting it haha.

Played through the Lies of P demo as well and thought it was mostly great. Not the greatest example of gameplay for the genre IMO, but the production values and the vibe were stellar.

How about you guys?

      Cool cool! Haven’t played Skyrim in years myself, one day I’ll go back. Probably take me years to decide which mods to use.

      Yeah, would definitely recommend starting over if the character is old. Would start fresh and follow a build guide, the forum on the games website has loads of them. I’m usually a massive advocate for learning by doing, but Path is truly one of the few games where the experience is enhanced by having your hand held. It’s just a lot otherwise. https://pathofbuilding.community is a pretty awesome tool that will likely be referenced by a lot of those guides too, really makes following things along a lot easier.

      In terms of tangible tips: biggest mistake friends of mine I’ve helped get into the game tend to make is just prioritizing offense. Having capped or close to capped elemental resistances (75% unless you have something modifying them!) at almost all times is basically starting point towards having an effective character.

      Ranged characters tend to be more successful and easier to play in Path of Exile as well, so maybe start that way if it’s an appealing enough flavor of character!
