Have you been spending hours trying to pass a level? Or maybe you are completely addicted to a newly bought game. Do you have a question about a game or would like to share something else? In the Weekly Discussion Thread, you can do it all!
Please don’t forget to use the spoiler tag as soon as you start talking about a storyline.
I’ve been replaing “The Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess” and loving the Nostalgia throwback.
Dave the Diver! Honestly one of the most fun games I’ve played in a long time
It’s interesting how experiences can vary. I just returned it because I wasn’t enjoying it, which was a shame because it looks great.
What makes it fun for you?
Battlebit, it’s everything I wanted in the latest Battlefield titles and more, but made by 3 indie devs. Map votes, weapon attachments, classes, local voice chat, destruction, scoreboard, night mode on all maps… It’s great.
I just can’t get it to “click” for me and I don’t know why; I should love it. I shall persevere.
Cheat code for having maximum fun is to make death noises over local chat whenever you’re shot.
Agreed
Witcher 3
Never played a Witcher before and I knew I’d like it so I picked it up in the steam sale and man, I was right. I love it so much.
This might be one of my favorite games. So much replay value if you don’t look up spoilers. If you didn’t get heart of stone or blood and wine, you REALLY need to. They are like entire games themselves.
I got the whole bundle with all the DLCs so I am excited to get into it. I’m not very far in, only a couple hours but I am enjoying the hell out of it. Almost been late to work because I keep staying up too late playing it lol
Unpopular opinion but I didnt really like this game. My favorite games are souls like and I found I was spending more time walking around and talking than I was killing monsters . Also all of my weapons would break so quick. Maybe I was doing something wrong because everyone seems to really like these games
You really can play the game however you want. There are a bunch of monster contracts you can do if all you want to do is fight monsters, and a bunch of side quests involve fighting more monsters along the way. And some of the story show you some of the worst monsters are actually humans. The durability is a pain, but once you build up some cash, you can buy repair kits that make long travels easier. Otherwise, repair every time you are in a town/city. The game has a lot to it and starts kind of slow but once you get into it (about Crows Perch and the Baron storyline), it’s a ton of fun.

Yooo I’ve also been replaying it. I’ve 100% it already but with the next gen updates there were a good chunk of changes. I’ve been loving it all over again.
My number one gamer is all time.
I’ve tried two times now to play it through but I always end up quitting the game around 25 hours and I don’t even know why.
I still haven’t played it. I felt like I should play the first couple before I play #3, but I started this first one, got distracted, and now it’s been years.
Do you feel like you missed out on understanding things by starting with Witcher 3 vs. playing the others first?
I think the story is standalone enough that you don’t need to play them, but I actually think the first 2 games are kinda underrated bangers. Super janky and weird but if you can learn to appreciate them for what they are there’s a lot to enjoy

Days Gone. New to me. My pet peeve is that the motorcycle is a piece of junk. It’s got like 1.5 gallon gas tank and gets something like 2km/gallon. Or maybe it’s 1 mpg, but the game uses metric for distances and imperial for volume.
I’m playing that one now too. You’re right, it’s annoying that you can only drive for like two or three minutes on the bike before it’s out of fuel. But I quickly got used to looking for fuel cans and planning around gas stations. There are enough of them. It’s a deliberate choice, I think, to increase your engagement with the world and prevent you from just driving through it.
Overall I’m very impressed with the game. The story is really engaging. The gameplay and mechanics are solid and well balanced. The rules are not always intuitive, but once you learn them they are consistent. The longer I play it the more time I want to spend with it.
I played through that fairly recently! Unexpected gem, I thought. In the early game, doing missions for Copeland’s camp will eventually get you access to a larger fuel tank. The best rewards, imo, were the guns you unlock by taking down hordes.
I’ve finally gave in and tried Vampire Survivors… what have I done. I didn’t realize it was 3AM by the time I put my handheld down and suffering at work today.
Outside of that been casually replaying Halo CE and **Midnight Club 2 **
Once you’ve beat Vampire Survivors you can lose more time playing Halls of Torment. You can curse me later
Mass Effect Legendary Edition!
Skyrim
My wife is in her first play thru.
Cyberpunk is really good
I’ve been playing Metroid Prime: Remastered. It’s amazing to see the beauty of the world in this game, but kid me must of had way more patience for the backtracking
Minecraft for the first time! With my 5 y/o who sits on his tablet. It’s dangerous for us both.
I remember losing so much sleep when I first played Minecraft a decade ago, it’s one of those games that I wish I could experience for the first time again.
I don’t spend too much on games and only buy if they’re on sale.
Recently bought sleeping dogs for $2 and finished it 2 days ago. It was a 10/10 experience. Definitely suggest everyone to try it.
Other than that I’ve been playing Deep Rock Galactic.
Also bought Sleeping Dogs in the Summer Sale and I’m playing it on my Steam Deck. I’m loving it so far.

Sleeping dogs deserves a sequel.
Rock and stone !
Rock and stone !
Same thing I always play. Old school RuneScape
Nice
Been playing Cultic on Steam Deck and Street Fighter 6 on PS5. Cannot wait for the new Armored Core!
Dead cells.
I discovered it when it was mentioned in a book by Cory Doctorow. It’s an absolutely fantastic rogue-like game.
+1 for Dead Cells, that game is so good.
I haven’t played in awhile but I think I was stuck on 3 Boss Cells
Also, do you mind telling me what book mentioned it? That surprised me lol
Chokepoint capitalism.
They mention the game because it’s made by a coop.
Perfect, thank you!
