What game(s) have you been enjoying recently?

Ah, Misery mod. The good(?) old days damn it was brutal and doesn’t help that STALKER is brutal to begin with.

Alongside keeping Warframe standing grind ticking along, I’ve digging into Primordia, which has been on the hey, should really check out more Wadjet Eye games list for a long time now. Very much filling that exploring a strange new world hole that completing The Dig left behind.

I just logged into Elite: Dangerous for the first time in a long while to learn that I lost my fleet carrier because I didn’t have enough to keep paying the weekly upkeep. Ah well, so it goes. At least I got my four billion credits back.

Maybe I should see this as the relief of a great burden and now I can buy some of the new ships they’ve released in the last year or so.

Ever since I finished Final Fantasy Tactics, I’ve just fallen back to playing Zelda games.

I’m almost done with my annual replay of A Link to the Past (I’ve been playing 1 dungeon a night before bed), and I’m halfway through Majora’s Mask.

I picked up Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment, but I haven’t started yet. I’ll probably do that this weekend sometime.

This weekend I tried playing Assassin’s Creed IV Black Flag on the PS3 but found it entirely unplayable due to framerate issues. Console gamers sure had it rough back in the day.

Now I’ve moved onto Ridge Racer 7 and I’m having a ball drifting like it’s nobody’s business.

I loooooved Black Flag but idk if the consoles I played it on had frame rate issues.

Black Flag was okay on PS4, it was already creaking because of the scale and scope of the game. Crossgen was such a bad idea but there weren’t enough next gen (at the time) consoles to make it worth skipping the PS360. I remember it having an unstable 30fps on PS4 (the seas open world pushed it too hard). The PS3 when it wasn’t lead dev platform made for some ugly third party ports.

I also have a vague recollection of Black Flag being one of the games that made the Xbox One look worse than it actually was. Pretty sure Digital Foundry covered it.

I finished Ball x Pit, then started up the new Mortal Kombat Legacy Kollection. I manly wanted it for the documentary material and not the games, but I’ve been playing through each game once just to reminisce.

I’ve also finally started up Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake and am like 4 hours into the first game. I loved III, and this is just more of that same remake quality.

Hyrule Warriors is threatening to ruin my productivity now. My brain is screaming at me to play the game but also to work on my website projects. :laughing:

It’s the only other AssCreed I’ve heard universal praise about, and I wanted to hangout in the Caribbean for a bit since it’ll be a while before I can go back, but I guess I’ll have to wait for it to be cheap on PC.

Y’all I kicked tf out of Diablo Hellfire finally. It took 20 years, four PCs, and the DevilutionX mod.

Loved it. Big fan of original Diablo and I really think Hellfire adds something special.

My partner is big into visual novels and I recently convinced them to start the first Danganronpa. They are already hooked - very fun to watch someone play it for the first time.

It’s absolutely bonkers. The story is super intriguing, the characters are fun to learn about, and the combat is just plain ol’ fun - either with Yunica or Hugo.

I especially love the boss fights, as aggravating as they can be. A few had me visibly pissed :joy::joy::joy:

My favorite part of that game is the guy that gets killed by being blasted with baseballs :skull:

Apparently it’s on my list of things to download from the “app store” so I will try, assuming it plays nice with gamepad only
