I still cannot wrap my mind around the concept of "Pokémons with gun". Like... what? how? why?

 

Do you shoot at Pokémon-like creatures with machine guns and stuff?!?

 

Eventually yes! Or you can just give a gun to one of your pals and have them do the dirty work for you! 😂

 

In all seriousness guns are treated more as a special move some pals can learn, they're not a main focus and in the early game your using a spear and bow and stuff. Eventually you can build guns tho. I've heard people compare the survival gameplay to ark, if that helps, and I find a good amount of similarities in how it feels to play with grounded in 3rd person mode.

 

Also, I just saw this shared in a discord server I'm in:

I then looked up the numbers of copies sold... lethal company sitting at 10m since it's release, which has already dwarfed several cod games, palworld at 3m 40 hours after release loool. Imagine making $90m in less than 2 days

So what, is it supposed to be a satirical game, like that Winnie The Pooh horror movie?

[MrFroz]

Playing Portal 2 for the first time after completing part one ages ago. Wheatley gave me some genuine laughs that I haven't had with games in a long time.

[Bri0che]

I started NieR:Automata last day. What a game !

No. Palworld isn't a satirical game to my knowledge, it's just a survival game with creature collection and automation mechanics that takes a different twist on the pokemon genre. Maybe some satirical elements to its concept, but I wouldn't put it in the category of joke games/movies.

 

May be best to just watch the trailer

Oh, I started playing it too. Awesome game, I've been looking for a suitable survival game for a long time.

 

And the best part is that it runs pretty well on my wooden laptop.

Touhou luna nights, AKA the game of waiting to the clock to reload

 

Spoiler

 

[elborbahquarama]

i just played an amateur puzzle game from 1998 called tower of the sorcerer and it is one of the best games in the world imo

[Serum]

Finally got around to beating Amid Evil after years of it sitting in my library. Those graphics were chefs kiss

 

 

[Taw Tu'lki]

That game 

[Remilia Scarlet]

Someone got me obsessed with osu! ._.

 

Also Touhou 15 lately.

Palworld, and there’s no end in sight lol. Just loving it all around. I honestly don’t peruse the net much at all and didn’t realize at the time that this game was taking over the entire planet it seems, but I saw like 3 of my friends were playing on Steam a couple nights ago so I decided to check it out. So glad I did.

Skyrim, for the first time.

Can see why this game is deemed a classic.

[smeghammer]

I decided to resurrect Quake2 as I'd just read about Call of the Machine new campaign. So I dusted off my Alienware...

 

The new campaign is pretty good actually. Not reeeeealy Q2 I felt, but definitely fun. Reminded me very much of Serious Sam actually. 

 

It did inspire me to set up Yamagi engine on my day to day Ubuntu box so I've been playing quite a bit of classic Q2 as well.

Freaking loved Amid Evil.  Though a couple of those later cosmically large, non-Euclidian levels gave me legitimate motion sickness, which was a new experience for me at the time.

 

Currently bouncing around between Spider-Man Remastered, Sniper Elite 4, and Baldur's Gate 3.

Fursan al-Aqsa Remake.

 

The game has been trending lately due to the usual suspects throwing a hissy fit about it, so I decided to check it out and see what the fuss it was all about. It is quite janky, the humor is rather... juvenile and overall it is not the kind of game that would make in light of current events (a This War of Mine-style game would have been more appropriate in my opinion), but for a one-man effort, it is alright: think of it as Max Payne meets Serious Sam 3.

Oh, I've seen this game a couple of times. I get the impression that the author of this game doesn't take himself or his game too seriously

[Rudolph]

Either way, it is quite cathartic and also perhaps not as unrealistic as one might think. :P

[Panzermann11]

I just finished Bulletstorm. I'd pretty much describe this game as "Gears of War meets Borderlands" in terms of tone. I laughed my ass a lot on the banter dialogue.

Which version? The original or the Gearbox re-release?

The latter.

Have you played the original as well? I was wondering which version is superior.

[hybridial]

I've been playing Alan Wake 2 and so far it's been pretty good. As someone who likes a lot of horror movies and stories, the game has a lot of things to appreciate about it, possibly my favourite thing is the art direction and use of vivid colours and lighting in many of it's set pieces. The gameplay is pretty good, not amazing but it doesn't have to be, and the story is interesting enough. I thought I'd find the intense meta-ness of it would bother me but it doesn't really because it's choices are mostly in favour of creating a fun, creepy time. 

 

I really hope that new Alone in the Dark is good, because I'm definitely in the mood for more decent horror games.

Have you played the Resident Evil 4 and Dead Space remakes?

I did play through Resident Evil 4 and it has very much the unique status as a remake to where I thought it was MUCH better than the original which I don't rate highly and feel doesn't have the tone of an RE game, even an action oriented RE game. 

 

I've still to play through Dead Space, though I've started it. I've heard it's mostly the same game as the original so it's not been a super high priority.

Nope. I heard people say the original version looks better, but frankly, I think the Full Clip Edition looks pretty fine enough. Also, it's got New Game+ (Overkill Mode) and the ability to play as Duke Nukem, so I believe Full Clip is the superior one.

Geneforge on a Pentium II 450MHz machine with Windows XP installed.

 

I would've played this on Windows 98 but the GOG version doesn't want to work on that operating system so I swapped SD cards (I had a SD to IDE adapter installed)

 

For a RPG game, I seem to be enjoying it but I like to see how far I can go, likely because I never completed an RPG game before.
