I'm looking forward to Stellar Blade next week and I think I'm like ~80% done with FF7 Rebirth so I should be finished by then. I still need to finish Dragon's Dogma 2 and try the FF16 DLC that just recently came out as well... I wish there were more hours in the day.

Other than that the main thing I'm looking forward to is the "totally not E3" announcement shows this summer to see what's coming out later this year.

Is FF16 worth it? Story-wise it didn’t seem like they learned their lesson (just going by the pre-release summary) so I checked out eaaaarly.

Played Millenia & Tropico 6, (waiting for next update to drop in helldivers 2)

Grand Strategy is by far my favourite genre, followed closely by 4X, and then shooters

I am excited for Manor Lords next week, but after Millenia I am trying to temper my expectations

Finished FF7 a while ago and another called Cathedral. Started Blasphemous (españita mentioned), good little game

My favorite has changed over the years. When I was younger I used to like FPS but for the last 2-3 years I've been playing JRPGs almost exclusively. I really like Stalker, I should play Clear Sky again and choose the side of the bandits

There's a Blasphemous 2 now, in case you didn't know.

Actually have some time this weekend to play games and I decided to go back to Guild Wars 2 for a bit. Trying out Condition berserker (more like gearing it up lol).

I just realized that I have month to finish getting the good stuff out of the wizard's vault, and I feel like this time there's a lot more stuff than the last few resets.

They say that there's going to be a Guild Wars 3 soon enough.

I just started Horizon Forbidden West. I actually loved the first game, but trouble is I finished it about 6 years ago. So I'm struggling to remember the characters and game echanics.

[–] Makan@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, the second game tries to get you up to speed, but doesn't succeed very well, I would argue.

I'm playing a lot of Stardew Valley right now. It's been a rough year, and the new patch is exactly the kind of thing I want in my life right now.

For the upcoming year, I'm very much looking forward to Frostpunk 2 (I played the beta last week, and it was great), and the upcoming Victoria 3 DLCs/patches.

[–] WhatWouldKarlDo@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Yeah. It's basically free DLC. It adds a lot of new mechanics and items, and some new in-game events. It's changed the game quite a bit.

[–] Makan@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I wonder what would Karl do

[–] WhatWouldKarlDo@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 6 months ago

Probably start writing something about how the game romanticises capitalism, then pop off to the pub or play another day and never finish writing it.
