I should probably go to bed at this point. I typed up a short story of my arduous attempts at defending an outpost in the STALKER modpack GAMMA and how my game crashed when I turned in the quest. Sent off that post and woe-is-me, the entire text didn't get submitted and I didn't have it saved in copy-paste. It's just so ironically fitting.

So ya, what's something you'd like to ramble a bit about?

YouTube has been helping my gaming fix. But digging Diablo 4 at the moment. I'm excited for the Xbox showcase since it will be all gameplay trailers verse CGI which shows nothing besides what the game could look like. This year has been great I think game wise. Harry Potter was great, started Jedi Survivor, Pokemon I ran through non-stop (yes it is a mess but I do love Pokemon a lot). Funny enough for Stalker Gamma, that mod got me into Stalker, super excited for Stalker 2

Got to hit Street Fighter's 6 training mode hard to learn some Cammy combos and also to practice some special moves (I'm not used to having a DP) and fundamentals. Getting bodied pretty hard by my friend lately, who mains Juri and plays JP on the side.

Also want to get back to Strive and play some ranked matches and, if I get enough free time, resume my Dragon Age: Origin's playthrough.

I want to get it because it looks so nice, but I'm horrible at fighting games. DBZ fighterz was the only one I was mediocre at.

There's a demo on Steam if you want to try it out. If you're struggling with move inputs, the modern control scheme helps a lot with easing you in on the game. And, apparently, the single player mode World Tour is really well-made while teaching you some fundamental concepts effectively (I haven't tried it yet, that's what I read).

Unfortunately, I don't really have a video or a review that describes the game in a newcomer-friendly yet succinct way. You can always search for rooflemonger's street fighter 6 videos. He has a 30 minutes long review of the game if you can stomach it. He also has an hour-long beginner's guide and a 2 hours-long(!!) character guide if you really want to get into it or if you just found a character you vibe with and want to know more about them.

Overall I feel great!

Diablo IV has been an absolute gem, and next Tuesday a big update drops for GTA:Online.

These two items will keep me busy for the Summer.

I have been branching out into genres that I normally don't play. Having fun in Divinity Original Sin and Stellaris. Taking time to learn something a bit more complicated than just shooting stuff blindly.

[-] ninetynine@lemmy.film 2 points 1 year ago

I play Destiny 2 but when that frustrates me or is down (happening a lot lately), I play Civilization 5.

[-] KeefChief12@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

Just finished ToTK, and started up Diablo 4 last night. So far so good 🔥

Hear the servers went down for Diablo 4. Are they running good now?

I've been on an ESO kick for about 4 years. I start other games, but I'd rather be playing ESO. I have no interest in solo games, and I enjoy the mechanics. Outside of the bit of lag/disconnect in the massive PVP area (Cyrodiil), there aren't any problems that are game breaking, noticeable, or noteworthy (except by minmaxers, who complain about everything in every game).

I'm happy just plodding along in ESO solo, or in group, and have developed a large friend base there. It's turned into a much happier alternative to WoW for me, and I don't see myself doing much in other games for quite a while.

Well, Warcraft 3 Reforged isn't actually as bad as I thought it would be. I thought it was going to be this awful crap experience, but I really haven't seen that (okay yes, it has crashed on me once). I picked it up a few days ago and it's been one helluva nostalgic power run. XD I think they actually did a fairly good job of just upgrading the graphics but still keep the style the same, even though I wasn't a huge fan of the overly comic styling of War3. I haven't done custom maps nor campaigns yet, I know people complained about the campaigns not working. I really only played the Founding of Durotar when I was young.

IDK, it really isn't as bad as I thought. I heard that a new-ish team is running now, so maybe it will get better. I would like to get a custom game browser built into the game, similar to what Star craft 2 does.

It's been fun double timing War3 and D4 the last few days. :)

With SF6 being out I'm trying to get back into fighting games in a big way. The single player has been a ton of fun and I really appreciate how they introduce fundamentals of the genre as part of the mode's challenges.

Marisa (bi poly muscle queen) and Honda (sumo chad) are my mains

I’m in a lull. Horizon 2 DLC was great. TOTK was great, now I feel empty while gaming. I’ve just been playing Kerbal to wile away downtime. Good narratives are hard to find.

Everspace 2 (om nom nom, loved it)

Was at a bit of a slow spot. Then I picked up Everspace 2 on a whim. OMG that is a fantastic game; also learned to use button style peddles for rolls. Everspace 2 combat sits at a pretty sweet spot between No Man's Sky and Star Citizen (or ED). The combat is still arcade like but you can move your ship well in 3d space.

The Rift Breaker (surprise! it's awesome)

Most recently I picked up The Rift Breaker and wasn't expecting much.... oops. Another fantastic game. Brings back some Total Annihilation memories and Empire Earth to some extent due to the massive build out of bases (if you want). The Rift Breaker somehow continues add in more resources in a way that doesn't fatigue much. They also removed "it's a running sim" issue for building your base. Can't wait to see how multiplayer works out, whenever that happens. If multiplayer works well this will be a must play for our little game group.

Jagged Alliance 3 (like really? a real deal this time?)

Cautiously curious about Jagged Alliance 3. They brought in the director from JA 1&2 and looks like they have really tried to not screw up this installment. Could be good, I'll likely roll the dice on that day one as I loved JA:1&2 and others in this genre.

Starfield (oh buddy!)

Finally, completely throwing caution to the wind..... Starfield. This is the top game on my watch list and I cannot wait to see how it plays out. I classify Bethesda Fallout and Elder Scroll games as "clutter looters" and absolutely eat them up. Whatever Starfield may be, 1000 worlds for mods to drop content on is likely going to give it a very long life. Really looking forward to this one.

Bored with the feeling of nothing to play.

I finished TotK, as in finished all of the shrines. I was planning a pokemon fan game on my steam deck for about a week but finished that too. I was playing Melvoe Idle on my phone for the last 6+ months but just 100% it.

I feel like I am growing out of video games a bit. Work and young kids make it hard to put energy in a game unless I'm really into it.

[-] Ryobee@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

Tears of the Kingdom has kept me busy enough.

[-] Toxinflora@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

I'm playing the same multiplayer games over and over but I'm not really progressing on my backlog of games and it's been this way for 6 months, so i think it could be going better
