Also, I’m playing around with what day of the week to post this, and seeing what days get the best interaction. If you have a preference, please let me know!
Started playing Daggerfall again. It’s a fresh start, my second… I wanted to call it attempt but I don’t think that’s the right word considering I never intended to finish the game - I treat it more as a world to live in rather than something to complete.
I like it even more this time as I started to lean even more into “just immerse yourself and act as part of this world” approach since my first playthrough. Playing it again also made me really wish there was a modernized version of this concept - here’s hoping The Wayward Realms turns out decent… or just releases in general.
I tried playing Daggerfall a couple years ago but couldn’t get into it. Maybe I should try your method
It can be difficult to get into if you approach it like a modern TES title, that’s for sure. It lacks a lot of quality of life features or unique content compared to the sequels, requiring more imagination and active engagement to make your own fun. That said, if you can overcome these issues it can be a pretty immersive experience. Also, while it’s not as popular as Skyrim, there are a few quest mods available to make things more interesting when you feel the repetition starts kicking in.
I don’t expect to finish the main story nor do I plan to play it every single day for months. It’ll most likely become a game I come back to every few months, when I want to jump back into the medieval life of my current character and play until I get bored again.
Just got a steam deck, first thing I started was animal crossing new horizons (which I got from a very legal source)
I finally started the Metroid series (playing countless hours Metroid Prime Hunters online does not count) with Metroid Zero Mission in my Anbernic RG351v, after getting the 700 blue thingies in Rayman Legends I had a very good session yesterday.
Started Pathfinder: Kingmaker and I got sucked into it big time. Just finished the prologue last night. Reviews for this were not great, so I don’t know if the game improved dramatically after release or if there are rough spots in the campaign coming up.
I guess it’s also possible its old-school feel contributed to some of that. I really do feel like I’m playing a fresher version of Baldur’s Gate 2, complete with unfortunate quirks.
I’ve been playing a bunch of shorter games, such as:
- Bomb Rush Cyberfunk
- Firewatch
- City of Beats
- Kao the Kangaroo
And I’m still playing a few games while my kids watch.
Firewatch is such a great, bite-sized experience. Still think about it from time to time.
Just finished it in one sitting, what a ride.
Kao the Kangaroo
Which one, original or the reboot?
Reboot. I never played the original.
Ahh, I see. How is it (in general, as a mascot platformer)?
Decent, but I think it’s a little odd:
- collectibles require backtracking in levels, yet they also record time, so I’m not sure if they’re recommending speed or exploration; levels are pretty linear
- you can buy lives/extra hearts in the store (why?)
- some things can be fiddly
I think Yooka-Laylee is way better, but it’s still fun.
Hmm, considering it already reminded me of the second game (not bad but I did prefer the original, even if it was “worse”) I’ll probably skip this one. Thanks!
I relapsed and started playing league of legends again
Get well soon. Praying for you 🙏
I got a Steamdeck in November. Is Sufi considered patient? If not, I restarted Witcher III again.
Sifu? If so, yes, it was released more than 12 months ago.
What a good game, I usually don’t play games in hard mode (I didn’t for Sifu either) but I am very proud that after busting my ass I got the the final boss in normal difficulty with 20 years, he got me once or twice, can’t remember.
That’s crazy. I’m still working on the second area on normal mode. Super fun melee combat though.
As a console gamer, I love the steamdeck.
Mostly Celeste and Yonder TCCC. There‘s a fine line between cozy and boring, and Yonder‘s dangerously close to the latter.
Playing some smaller, chill games: The Unfinished Swan and Sludge Life.
Tale of Two Wastelands. It’s a pretty cool mod that essentially combines Fallout 3 and New Vegas into one game and allows you to travel between both areas the games take place in. It also slightly modernises Fallout 3’s gameplay which makes it wayyy more enjoyable. Would highly recommend if you own 3 and New Vegas
That sounds awesome. Definitely gonna check it out
