What Are You Playing Right Now? (Gaming Thread)

[FozzyBear]

Some day, for now I am buried in data implementations for work work.

I think I will give PalWorld some time to iron out and maybe try it on deal later in the year.

Seems fun to have the element of collecting the different types of pals, a little bit like the game Overlord has different minion types you get as you move through the game.

I haven't played Overlord in forever, but that one was underrated fun.

youre not missing too much.. the game isnt a must must play imo. unless you dont have anything else worth playing. its decent enough though, especially for early access. im at the point if i put it down i def wont pick it back up for awhile.. so debating on finishing the tower bosses or taking that break. if you grew up playing pokemon you may like it a lot. i was never into the pokemon so i dont get that extra familiarity/nostalgic kick.

**** work work guy.. you gotz money. make a game.. also as a co game designer for hire, imma need a few points. storyboards, concepts and the such.. no coding or modelling coming from me..

I don't think I've played that game in 4 years at this point, maybe even longer.

At least once a year I get the itch.

I only play 2 countries lol, US or USSR.

I like to imagine ways to pilot the whole nation from 1936 thru and then try and fail at doing w/e idea I had.

Yearly $60 roster update.

Dunno how the NFL hasn't figured out they could sell their licensing to studios large, medium, and small.

Then rake in royalties and/or profit sharing on each successful NFL-derived game and its sales.

EA is a corporate dinosaur that has struggled to adequately mimic just one sport in one game for over 25 years.

I suppose the NFL is also a corporate dinosaur.

Hitman for ps4. I don't know which one it was just called Hitman. Even though Hitman is almost legendary in gaming, I have never played a single minute of any of the games. I know a lot about; agent 47 bald dude with a barcode on his head. I think I even saw one of the movies.

It's divided into missions that are sandboxes of death and deception. Each level has many different ways of advancing through and killing your targets. I would try and sneak in without being noticed and make every kill look like an accident. For example, in one mission I poisoned a guy's food with rat poison. He then gets sick and goes over to a cliff to throw up. I snuck up behind him and pushed him off making it look like he just fell.

I was shocked by how short it was I did all the missions in about 6 hours but it has a whole lot of replayability.

You know I played the original Hitman game way back and enjoyed it.

But then I got really in to Assassin's Creed and kinda saw it as one or the other and stuck with AC.

Of course AC isn't what it used to be, I stopped playing shortly in to the Origins game.

They adopted the combat mechanics from other games and ignored the premise of the game which was few against many.

Too bad, I always enjoyed the walk through history they seemed to create in most of their games.

@Scoot26 ever played IXION?

No, what's that?

 

[Ares]

No, what's that?

Manage a giant space colony ship, give it a look.

Kinda like Frostpunk in space, if you ever tried that one.

 

[KittiesKorner]

The Invincible. It’s not worth its $30 price tag so far as a walking simulator/point-click thing but is gorgeous-looking and based off a stanislaw lem book

 

[Ares]

The opening and first few cut scenes in IXION are fun.

Idk if its how I play or what, but story/character interactions and cut scenes seem very sparse lol.

I sometimes forget that's part of this game, and then the AI voices start yapping.

I get annoyed and go "That's enough outta you now!"

Plz get off my space lawn.

havent tried civ 6 since 2020 so i gave it a go again.. idk what it is but im just not feeling it.. took awhile for v to grow on me, so maybe i need to give 6 some hours....i do know that turns take too long for my tastes.... im def gonna have to modify some settings.. quick combat/movement and probably views etc..... civ 4 stacks of doom is still me fav.

I like civ 6, if you haven't downloaded the gathering storm DLC, you should. I think most of the leader pack and DLC are either free now or fairly cheap. they have a game mode called Heroes and Legends which I like along with monopolies and corporations. I go through waves when I play, but when I pick it up again I usually do a few campaigns.

Going to revisit Yakuza 2.

 

[Ares]

I've been playing Helldivers 2 lately.

Its a game you can enjoy some while solo or dropping in to other squads.

But the most fun is when you're in a squad with similarly level'd players on a decently challenging mission.

Level 20+ guys play Medium and often I lay around while they call in turrets and air strikes lol.

You cannot play the Challenging difficulty until level 10 unfortunately.
