What video games are you playing?

Oh that’s awesome! I’d like to linger around and finish up any discovery I haven’t done at that point and it’d be nice not having to repeat some fights.

Lovely. I can’t wait to throw myself against the wall. I’m very shield friendly and have been using all sorts of shields. The jellyfish one is my favorite so far. Using a greatshield does trivialize a lot of fights though since most enemy attacks, even bosses, will recoil when they hit. That plus a greatsword has been my build. Bloodfang (I think it’s called?) is great too since it has a bleed effect.

i play final fantasy 14 religiously. and if i can stand it (and before i get bored with a slew of 1+ hour long questlines), i play genshin impact. i just heard final fantasy 16 is coming out on pc soon though, so i’ll give that a try as well :slight_smile:

U guys talk abt dlc while im still stuck with radagon from the base game :pensive:

I finished my Elden Ring NG+12 the other day. Currently playing the DLC to collect what I missed from the quests in my first DLC playthrough. I thought I could do a no summons run, but it’s not possible from Messmer onwards.

still Genshin and Project Sekai, though taking into account that Project Sekai is worsening my wrist joint issues and next year’s banners were planned so that I as a f2p player won’t be able to keep collecting all Akito and Toya cards no matter what I’m looking at my acc like "I’m unemployed and you’re not gonna last long with me … " . Genshin is fine for now but I’m pretty sure they’re gonna pull this in 2026 the latest

this time last year wild horses could not drag me away from genshin. but i was tired of looking up videos on quests, spending an hour on the quests and receiving such minimal reward. then i finally pulled for itto in march and just…stopped playing. maybe i’ll return because the rewards are good/i don’t want to spend any more irl money on that game lol

my humble initial Genshin objective was to collect every 5* Hawt Bishie as a f2p who was a year too late and I am finally doing well at 12/17 and 270 primos I guess but my urge to explore is Gone. I am lazy, stop trying to make me learn new mechanics I just want Plains and Same Old, bring me back to Mondstadt NOW ggggrhhhhhhhrrrrrrr. Also the lore has been cooking for so long its burnt now, seems like they made a mess with a bunch of writers and then left it to AI lol

Just soloed Radahn in NG+12 DLC+ in one single attempt with no surprise because I have fought him over a thousand times as a co-op. But this time I made a copy of save data for practicing with him without a shield before beating the DLC.

i also kinda miss monstadt, and simpler plotlines. i made it to sumeru and found cutscenes were making my eyes glaze over. idk some of the archons are interesting, i did like liyue a lot. then, the interest died. just give me simple and straightforward, i am too old to be doing that much thinking anymore :joy:

Anyone tried Once Human? I read that for every round there is a limit of xxx days or months for u to establish and once it times up everything u built goes back to ground zero. Is it still the same now? I wanted to start playing but hesitated cos of this limit.

I’ve just wasted 2 hours of my life trying to get the platinum trophy on Tormented Souls. I literally died before the killing blow on the final boss during a no healing, no saving, 3 hours or less speedrun :rofl:

That’s brutal! Side note, great survival horror game! Really enjoyed this one, especially the puzzles.

Ditto. The story was a bit weak and the character models/voice acting were rough, but the music, atmosphere, and attention to detail were top notch!

Bonus points for the power and sound of the shotgun. It’s always a seal of quality in these games :slight_smile:

Malenia is kicking my ass. But I’m almost done with the game. Made it to Farum Azula.

You still got the DLC. That’s where the real game begins :wink:

I…did it

It is done. I am become Elden Lord. One of the best games I’ve played this generation. Amazing exploration, interesting characters, so much weapon, magic, and gear variety, fantastic music, beautiful environments, I could go on. First time I spent nearly 160 hours on a game. First time getting a platinum trophy.

I tried to get my character to look like Makima from Chainsaw Man. Those character sliders are tricky to make look good. This was the best I could do.

From Elden Ring to King’s Field IV: Ancient City (AKA Elden Eing hella beta).

There’s something about knockin slow ass skeletons with clunky controls in a first person view that’s so satisfying.

From a mechanics standpoint there’s so much already here that’s still being used in modern soulslike games. Weight system, stamina being used for attacking and running, killable NPCs, weapons having different attack attributes, equipping magic, interconnected world.

Who would’ve thought refining and evolving a game for like 20 years would eventually make it one of the most popular games of all time.

I’ve been playing so much Mario Kart 8 lately. I learned how to play 200cc and I don’t know if I can ever go back. I’m having a lot of fun trying to get 3 stars on each cup, 2/3s of the way there. There’s 24 cups in the game now, so it’s been keeping me busy.
