What are you playing right now?

Playing Drakengard 3 and Resonance of Fate right now. I've heard good things about both of them and trying them out. RoF is slow to get into any action but I've only put an hour into it, but Drakengard hits the ground running and I'm liking both of them so far.

I've finished Metro 2033 Redux. I hate the platforming shit at the end of the story. I might do another playthrough because the save that I used didn't carry all the collectibles that I picked in a previous installation.

the Half Payne mod for half-life
the music fits so much better, combat feels more stressful (i fucking feel it when i've made a dumb decision or i'm about to die) and max's voicelines humanize the player more

Installed the Resident Evil 4 DLC weeks ago but haven't tried it yet, might crack it out this weekend. I'm hesitant because RE4 Remake Ada is insufferable.

some FAG on cs.rin.ru didnt want to pay up for google drive hosting so now 80% of the games it has are gone, so i had to get my copy from archive.org
even though i applied the fixes the guy included it keeps crashing every thirty minutes and it's the kind where you can't close it through task manager or switch to other windows so you have to restart your computer
game is fun though

I wouldn't know. I spent all my time in that game doing horseback archery being an absolute menace to everything that moved.

Is there content relating to alchemy alchemy, like developing chemistry, not just medicinal alchemy?

It would be very interesting to see a game that dealt with the heroic age of gentleman scientists (those alchemists/chemists, biologists like Leeuwenhoek, astronomers).

I just finished Quest 64 tonight and it certainly isn't as bad as people would have you believe. The combat system is lively and works great with the N64 controller. The enemy designs are quite nice too.

Replaying Bastion after a very long time. Just kind of knocking off a lot of my indies and other smaller games, and replaying the old ones. Things that can be knocked out in a few days. This one was leaving me unimpressed at first, wondering why I had liked it so much, but it's clicking now. Something that never occurred to me at the time, or perhaps I hadn't come to this desire yet, is that the game is a perfect example of something I've thought about, American fantasy. Fantasy drawn from American aesthetics and themes. Caelondia is a settler colony who was brought into conflict with tribal savages by the railroad they built through a vast wilderness. The aesthetics tend to be Middle Eastern, but the names, soundtrack, weapons, a lot of things are very Western-influenced. It's interesting. It gets a grip on you after a while.

After many years of putting it off due to not really fucking with Rockstar games, I played Red Dead Redemption 2. Genuinely one of the greatest games I've ever played.

I've also been playing Drakengard 3 lately and totally agree that it hits the ground running. It's got such an engaging storyline that really pulls you in. Also, I've been getting into College Retro Bowl recently. It's a fantastic blend of retro style and modern gameplay, especially for those of us who love a bit of football action mixed with strategic team management. It's been a great way to unwind and add some competitive fun to my gaming sessions!

SWTOR opened a new server last week so I've been playing that. It's always fun to play older MMOs when a clean slate is available.
 
Restarted Bloodborne after getting filtered by the Fishing Hamlet. Now that I know what to do and how to make a proper build (Strength+Arcane), I'm cruising through it. I didn't realize before that skills have a soft cap at 25.

Playing some GTA:World right now in between a new save on X4. Fucking Argon went to war with the Xenon and the Split at the same time and now my favorite area to start is getting taken over by Split.

Very disappointing.

Replaying Transistor now. I loved it to death... well over a decade ago. I don't remember exactly what age/grade I was when I got the PS4, but it was one of the very first free PS+ games. I actually very much preferred getting free indies I would have never heard of to a mediocre AAA game that, if I wanted it, I would have bought long before. I loved it so much I was actually put off of replaying it because I had a feeling it could never live up to it again. I was right LOL

Diving back into Cyberpunk 2077 to try the 2.0 and Phantom Liberty stuff, this time with the Japanese voices enabled because I remembered I only liked one or two English voices.

Driving's still kind of ass, but it's the tolerable kind. The rest feels a bit better compared to when I played at launch. Looking forward to seeing how dumb a Blades setup gets.

Picked up Rising Storm 2 and I am a bit conflicted about it. On one hand, the gameplay is pretty good and the same goes for the netcode. On the other hand, it is obvious that the game is just completely abandoned with fake servers that apparently just exist to steal info (Edit: the community is actually active these just kind of exists and the devs are not fixing it) and broken Voip. Part of me wants to refund but I also got it for only like $6.50.

Was playing RO2 again and no one is playing the superior RS maps even on weekends.

Rising Storm 2 tends to suffer that familiar old multiplayer problem where there’s a couple servers that are packed full and a couple with almost nobody in it. I think server browsers themselves contribute to that, because they pack them full instead of spreading it out a little more fairly so everyone can have a decent game.

What drove me off, though, was that while the game could sometimes be fun, and was always unique (for me, who only got into serious military games with it and Isonzo), it was too grueling most of the time. One shot kill is brutal when your maps are often either totally open or are choked with concealment but no cover. People say you embrace senseless death, but the slow respawns discourage that. I prefer playing Isonzo where I can work a trench well.

I would rather be playing a Battlefield game set in Vietnam.
