I just started playing Minecraft, now I see why it so popular!
If you haven’t already, push off mods as long as possible imo. They can really open up the game but they can also easily remove some of the magic. They’re like a different game entirely
Agreed, I have see twitch streams of it modded and idk if I ever want it to look like that. Vanilla looks pretty bad ass already imo
Majora’s Mask! Intimidated by the time limit, but also excited to figure everything out
I believe the game is intended to be played without it, but there is a little secret that can give you more time.
I don't remember if the game ever actually tells you this, but maybe you pick it up somewhere
Play the Song of Time backwards to make time move at half speed
Thank you for the spoiler mark, I’ll come back and check it if I’m struggling. I’m still at the beginning right now.
I don’t think it’s intended to be played without that tip. It is technically possible to miss, but you’re very likely to learn about that before the game even tells you how to save…
(Mind you, I’ve only played the N64 version. They might have changed things in a re-release.)
Majora's Mask (how that tip is usually learned)
The game offers to tell you about that any time you talk to the scarecrow, which people usually do on the way to the observatory for the first time.
The trickier bit is that they tell you about it before you’re capable of using songs, so you have to remember that you can actually use it once it’s possible to do.
My favorite Zelda game! Possibly my favorite game of all time.
Final fantasy IV: The after years
I’m working my way through every FF game (except the mobile gachas) getting 100% the achievements and it’s my current.
It’s slow hunting all the bestiary but gives me something else to focus on while my wife rewatches whatever show
I’m very poorly playing ff 4 thru 10 on my steam deck. Except for 8.
I soft locked myself in 4. And royally screwed up my jobs in 5 lol. It’s been so long I’ve forgotten how to play
I feel ya. I save religiously to so many different slots. Legitimately I had only one open save slot left when I finished FFIV specifically out of paranoia of locking myself out of something or messing something up.
8 may be my favourite in the series, you chose some good ones to play
Finally tried Vampire Survivors. Surprisingly fun to chill with. Only other bullet heaven I’ve played is Megabonk, but now I’m kinda getting into it. Might be impatient and try Arms of God next for the Doom+Warhammer vibe.
I’m back on my shit with Stardew Valley again. Modded this time, mostly tweaks and graphics but also taking another whack at SVE.
Picked up Stellar Blade because I like games with pretty girls in them. Turns out the actual gameplay is utterly phenomenal.
I’ve been playing Morrowind again, finally actually giving the main quest a good chance. I’ve tried getting into it almost every year and it’s never clicked for me but this time it finally did. I’m having a blast with it.
I think MW has my favorite rpg main story ever.
You’re told to learn about a cult. Infiltrate it. And then become it’s God like hero. It’s not a common storyline these days.It’s a great story so far. I just finished fulfilling the 4th and 5th prophecies and I’m on my way to Vivec now I think.
I always loved the idea behind Oblivion’s story, not actually being the hero but the one helping the real protagonist. But I see Morrowind also has a really awesome idea for a story too. It’s too bad Skyrim dropped the ball on main storyline.
Yeah I like not being the main character. MW had you thinking you weren’t too, for awhile. Until the god like powers manifest
Yeah I really like how MW starts. Right after you leave the census office you’re told “you’re on your own now. Good luck” and it really does feel like that for a bit. You meet Caius and he gives you some cash and tells you to get a job basically. Join some guilds, level up, then maybe I’ll have work for you. I just love how casual and mostly realistic it feels. Then even when things get going it still feels like you’re some random person just trying to figure out what’s going on. It’s pretty cool.
Have you played Tainted Grail? The game play is a lot like Morrowind. There’s even a prison escape sequence. It’s has enough new systems to be interesting.
(Edit. There is no prison escape in MW, but it’s a series staple)
I haven’t, but I’ll add it to my list to check out. I want to spend a lot more time in MW before considering another game, and I don’t get much time to play these days, but I’ll definitely consider that one in the future. Thanks for the recommendation.
Whatever you do next in Morrowind, get yourself OpenMW NOW, a vanilla friendly overhaul pack (the graphics overhaul is absolutely insane AND installs automatically via their mods page/nexus) and Tamriel Rebuilt. This will blow your mind.
I’ve been running OpenMW already and it’s been great. I haven’t added any extra mods yet, figured I’d do that with a second playthrough. Tamriel Rebuilt looks awesome, I’ll definitely try that one. Thanks!
Restarted my second RDR2 playthrough because a mod broke my savegame :(
If anyone else is playing, DO NOT install SgtJoe Bank robberies; it breaks interiors.
Started up a new save of Bloodborne on pc and talk about a fine wine. Unfortunately I kept on experiencing freezes/crashes via ShadPS4/BBLauncher, so I’ve put it down for the time being. I’ve heard about the newfangled decomp/recomp that lets you run it natively, but idk, I don’t really think that scene is for me.
Otherwise I’ve been chipping away at Dredge and am considering a new playthrough of The Case of the Golden Idol. Never got around to the DLC with the latter, but also just going back through the base game to see all of the artwork again sounds like a good time.
Also, if anyone has recommendations for horror games that aren’t Resident Evil or Silent Hill, I’d love to hear them. Can be action horror, survival horror, scary horror, cozy horror, and so on, I’m interested in it all.
If you mean you already played ResE and Silent Hill but want something similar, Signalis seems to be very inspired by ResE. Either way great horror/survival game
I’ve given Signalis a go a couple of times and for some reason it hasn’t clicked for me. But maybe I’ll give it another try, thanks!
It’s not outright horror so much as horror-themed (as in: the game isn’t really scary) but I will recommend Withering Rooms to anyone and everyone who listens.
One of the most impressive solo dev games I’ve played. Super fun, interesting world building, gorgeous music, immaculate vibes.
I’m also going to check this out. DLed the demo. It looks cool af
Looks like it could be up my alley, thanks for the rec!
Two of the main inspirations for it are Silent Hill and Bloodborne, I forgot to say. You should absolutely play it, it’s phenomenal. Sequel is out in Early Access as well as we speak, although I would recommend waiting on the full release next spring. Needs a bit more time in the oven.
Control is the first horror anything (game, movie, book, etc) that made me click the lights on. If you haven’t already played I’d recommend
As in Remedy’s Control?
Correct the first one. Something tells me I’ll still love the sequel that just came out but it won’t be the same atmosphere
Ah cool, I’ve played the first one and enjoyed it quite a bit. Wouldn’t be the first thing that comes to mind when I think of horror, but I get where you’re coming from. Reminds me of David Lynch stuff with it being unsettling and dreamlike, so kind of spooky.
Finally picked up Palworld last week, so more of that.
I’m on a legendary play of MCC (except H2) and Xenonaughts 1.
Easy Delivery Co. has been on our radar for a bit, it being on sale pushed us to grab it. Really cool vibe to the game and it hasn’t been too demanding in what it asks of the player, at least so far. - Vire (vi/vim)
Been playing a new save of The Witcher 3 on my Steam Deck, had played on/off from 2015-2017.
Had originally finished Heart of Stone Expansion, never got to Blood and Wine. Knowing there is another one ahead has motivated me to start a fresh save and do all content.
Bought Ravenswatch for $2 and change yesterday. Link for anyone that wants it
It’s a top down rouge-lite RPG where you play as fairy tale characters. Game consists of 3 levels, with a limited time to scout the map for gold, upgrades, and to level up before you’re forced to fight the level boss.
Game supports multiplayer and crossplay.
Went in with no expectations, and me and a couple friends ended up having a lot of fun. Plan on playing more later this week.
The theme is pretty cool. Like Little Red Riding Hood, but she can change into a tank-y werewolf. Gepetto, but he builds Pinocchio automatons. Pied Piper and he uses swarms of exploding rats. Etc.
When taking a break from studying at uni today I went to sporcle on my laptop (pro tip: use ublock origin), hopefully anyone nosy enough to spy on me was impressed at my flag-guessing skills. And y9u know what? I’ll do it again tomorrow, maybe I’ll try and name every country in the world again
