What are you playing right now?

Currently playing Chaos Galaxy 2 which is pretty much just a sci-fi space romance of the three kingdoms. It's single playing only and completely unbalanced especially if you have the aliens in the game as I played the faction that has to immediately deal with them or watch them eat your planets.

On turn seven the scout fleet about roughly 70k power starts eating planets if you kill the leader of the scout fleet the black dragon and the rest of the aliens just spawn immediately at roughly 100k power. At the start you'll be lucky enough to afford 2 fleets of 14k power.

Trick is obviously attrition warfare and hit and run tactics as losing planets and units to aliens gives them life force which allows them to make more units and research better stronger units. I lost a few planets at the start of the game thanks to them, but the alien tech you can research allows you to restore planets for large amounts of resources.
 
Bought Mafia Definitive Edition I & II on sale, and recently started the former. The story and cutscenes are really fucking good. Never played the originals, so I can't say how they compare. Had many frustrating moments, though. The cars control like bricks with another car tied on top of them. The race was absolute bullshit and I gave up after one hour of retries and losing a rock solid lead because one of my wheels clipped a pebble and sent me flying out of the map. Ended up installing a mod that disables the enemy racer AI so they stop moving after the first turn.
Another frustration came during the motel-church rooftop chase, because it apparently was a "murder every cop" scenario instead of a "leg it" scenario, despite the Don clearly stating to not kill cops, since only a few of them were on his payroll.
Another one happened when I was supposed to tail Frank. The randomly generatic traffic fucked me over several times with multiple tram spawns, which caused all vehicles to halt for a solid minute, so I'd sit at a red light, with Frank's right right around the corner, not moving, and then BAM, Mission Failed, you let Frank get away.
Right now I'm stuck on Great Deal, the escort bit. When I leave the garage, the truck gets ventilated in like 15 seconds and I have no idea how to stop it. Enemy AI focuses all gunfire on it, and even if I manage to disable the first car, the next two shred it pretty much instantly. Worth noting that I'm playing on easy with full aim assist like a complete scrub.
 
I have re-installed Killing Floor 2. I noticed that the last time I played this game was in 2017.
Replaying Far Cry 3 but the game keeps crashing randomly. I have looked around and some people say that switching to DirectX 9 fixes the issue.
 
Still on that animal crossing new horizons grind but I'm thinking about playing some nintendogs ever since I found out that Shigeru Miyamoto's dogs partly inspired the creation of the game <3 Plus, his shiba inu provided the bark and doggy noises for the shiba inu in nintendogs + cats! <3
 
Revisiting Cruelty Squad. I think the last time I played it the early ballistic vest armors weren't even working. Figured I should give it a go now that it's more or less feature-complete now.

Insane acid trip visuals and plot aside it's a fun immersive-sim.

Decided to do my occasional self harm and open GTA online. Game still has a super inflated economy, and they keep adding properties to do a string of missions you'll probably never do again.

If you play public lobbies there's one guy killing anyone he sees or there's a dogfight above you between two retards on hover bikes, and there's no in-between.

Does anyone normal still play this fucking game on last gen regularly anymore?
 
Fallout: Tale of Two Wastelands through the Begin Again Wabbajack mod list.

I have finally beaten Fallout 3 (first time), and I'm working on getting out of DC through Union Station.

I now understand why Fallout fans hate this game's story. The improvements to gameplay through the mod list, the exploration, and some of the side quests are the only things that saves this part of the playthrough for me.

Also, me and Fawkes are bros.

Finally took the plunge into Final Fantasy 11. I played every FF1-12 other than it as well as 14 and 16, hated both of those games but liked 1-10 so was hesitant to give 11 a shot.

I.. really like it! It's basically a singleplayer rpg at this point for better or worse, but it actually feels like a good one with some exploration and good class system vs a super handholdy follow the quest marker game.

It definetly falls for a lot of mmo silliness but I've been enjoying running around with my npc buddies and bashing bad guys and training up my classes. Not being restricted to a main story is very liberating even though I am chipping away at the main region quest.

Thinking I'll end up playing Summoner, though Rune Fencer and Ninja sound appealing.. I'll probably end up trying all of them

Is it possible to get anything good by playing the game normally, or will you need to shill out an excessive amount of cash to get anything decent? I stopped playing online over a decade ago, and from what I saw in the Achievement Hunter videos, there was a lot of fun shit that you needed to pay through the nose for.
 
Playing monster hunter stories 2 wings of ruin, when wilds was a pack of poo tickets.

The best ways to get things legitimately usually cost millions to set up. The highest paying solo heist requires a multi-million dollar sub to even begin setups for a heist with a solo payout close to one mil. So either dump hours of time into grinding, or spend some money for fake money. Shit is wild because I remember back when the game launched and I thought having a million was a lot of money online.

Sniper Elite 5. Finally finished the main campaign. Funny how the French Resistance is made of white women and black men.

Finished Mafia DE after going through numerous frustrating hurdles. I don't even want to know how hard it is on "classic" difficulty, when even on easy you die in 2-3 shots. The writing felt excellent to me, I have no idea how delusional you have to be to consider the original dialogue to be superior, given how wooden and ESL it obviously is (only later did I learn that this fat faggot jew Vavra was the writer). Visually it's also very pleasing, except for the absolutely horrid TAA ghosting. I don't really play modern releases so I haven't been subjected to it before, what an absolute shitshow.

I found out there is a project to decompile the jak and daxter games and the first 2 titles are fully playable native on PC so I'm going through jak 2 again and its reminded me of what good video games are meant to be. The third game seems to be almost done but knowing fan projects it'll be half a decade before it's actually complete so I guess I'll just emulate the third game or replay it on my ps4.
 
Playing Rain World. Never played it, never knew anything about it besides screenshots, heard it was hard. I started it, pretty interesting so far. It has a decent learning curve about your surroundings and the game's world is just broken and destitute with everything trying to kill you. Has some bullshit here and there with enemy spawns sometimes but getting past the bullshit and adapting from fleeing fights to actually defending yourself feels rewarding. OST is pretty good. I'd say get it on sale or yo ho it. If you do decide to though don't choose the monk as your first playthrough, it's just journalist mode from what I've read.
