I've been playing Marvel Rivals and the new Dynasty Warriors game as of late! I also just started Shantae on GBC which is fun so far!

I AM looking for a good RPG to play. Anyone care to give some advice? I'm thinking it's going to be between Secret of Mana, Golden Sun, and Chrono Trigger. I'm leaning towards CT.

I'm looking forward to playing more with friends :)

I'm most likely going to get the Switch since Nintendo puts out good exclusives. We'll see how long it takes to get good, though.

Love the new Dynasty Warriors Origins game!

I've only ever played DW4 back in the day, but I've been loving it! I've geard the series took a sour turn, but I'm glad it's returned to form!

Agreed completely.

Recently, I've played three games: Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine Anniversary Edition, modded Minecraft, specifically the TerraFirmaGreg modpack, and survival Fountain of Youth.

My favorite video game genres are Survival and shooters, the thing I'm most looking forward to in the rest of 2025 in terms of gaming is the release if ARK II, and I'm not excited for the Nintendo Switch 2, because I'm not much of a Nintendo fan.

I would suggest Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader if you're into CRPGs like Baldur's Gate 3.

My PC died a couple of weeks ago, taking the video card with it, and I've had a lot of real life drama to deal with as well. So I haven't been playing that much. Mostly moving parts between my computers in order to create something useable.

But I spent a good chunk of time looking for bargains and I somehow wound up with a decent price on a 7900XTX, and a 9800X3D, so my computer is absolutely godlike now. I've mostly been playing bits and pieces of games that formerly ran like crap, as my PC now handles anything I throw at it with ease. Victoria 3, Oxygen Not Included, Frostpunk 2, and Starfield come to mind. They all run well now, and I struggled with them before.

Genre wise, I mostly play strategy games these days. But I keep meaning to brush the dust off my consoles and finally finish Tears of the Kingdom and the Ghost of Tsushima DLC. My console backlog is massive.

For 2025, I think I'm mostly looking forward to Switch 2 right now. I'm a Nintendo gal through and through. But I'm also stoked about Ghost of Yotei and The Alters.

Same with you on Nintendo. Honestly, the PS5 has some interesting titles coming up.

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

My PS5 has been accumulating a whole lot of dust. I use it to watch UHD Blu-Rays and that's really about it. What games have your interest? Ghost of Yotei and the new Naughty Dog game are all I can think of right now.

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

Currently I'm playing Silent Hill 2 Remake (great game) and, surprisingly enough, Dynasty Warriors Origins (an ever funner and better game than the aforementioned horror title).

Those are the main two.

Oh yeah, and Elden Ring, but that's on PC.

But so far, I've made good use of my PS5 with the first video games mentioned taking up my time.

Still playing only enlisted (WW2 squad shooter, https://enlisted.net/) and emush (Alien/The Thing roleplay/survival social game, https://emush.eternaltwin.org/).

Really recommend the 2nd one, although you might need to consult mushpedia.com from time to time, and you need to communicate and coordinate with other crew members

I just picked up Heart of the Machine. It's a turn-based RPG/4X/city builder (which apparently also includes multiversal time travel) in early access. You play as a rogue AI trying to survive in a dystopian cyberpunk city. If that sounds insanely ambitious, that's because it is, especially for a solo dev. I played the (surprisingly full featured) demo and got immediately hooked. The different systems seem to tie together surprisingly well; the RPG elements provide a bit of drive to engage with the strategy side, and choices influence how you build out your tech tree. Probably not for everyone but the demo is free and worth checking out if it sounds interesting to you.

Never heard of this one... Interesting!

He estado jugando últimamente a la franquicia Saints Row.

[–] Makan@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 7 months ago

Interesante.
