        Bear in mind, BG3 is more much like your typical cRPG while Disco Elysium is more akin to Planescape: Torment but without combat.

        Both are extremely well-written, and I would say Disco Elysium is arguably one of the best written games period, but don’t go into DE expecting a whole lot of combat - it’s much more like a visual novel than a cRPG.

            I was told at some point to pirate disco elysium because the original devs got removed from making royalties on any sales prior to the release of the game. Does anyone know if this is a credible statement?

              Yea, basically what happened was some crooked businessman took over their company by some very fucked up methods, ousted the people who made the game and stole their IP. This is the most justified case of piracy is good.

      Oh man every so often I boot it up with fresh mods! I love that game so much.

      I remember when it launched, I never heard of it, didn’t see any promotional material and just bought it out of curiosity. Was an incredible surprise and put so much hours into it

        I was a huge fan of oblivion and I remember staying up into the early hours at uni waiting for the crack to be released. I put 16 hours in on the first day and never really looked back.

        Currently wrestling with whether or not I can justify spending £800 on my pc to play starfield…

          Eh, Ive got a 1080 ti and starfield runs terribly. I’m averaging 24 to 30 fps regardless if it’s high or low settings. So maybe wait. Not sure what you’re thinking to buy but starfield has pretty poor optimisation and if it’s a minor bump I’m not sure you’ll see much gain.

            My graphics card isn’t horrible actually to be fair. I’ve got an RTX 2070 but it’s on a 10 year old AM3 motherboard with DDR3 in it so it’s time to replace cpu/mobo/ram.

            At the moment it’s not playable for me, I forced myself to play the first few hours but speech visual lags behind the audio and I’m stuck waiting for 10seconds with every sentence. I know loading screens aren’t great for anyone but a solid minute for each screen wasn’t doable either.

    Zelda Wind Maker, on WiiU sadly. My gf got this console and game, so I just wanna beat it and move onto another Zelda games.

    I got phantam, skyward, botw. Saving botw for last. I beat oot and mm back in the days, and just beat twilight.

      I know a lot of people like them, but you just listed a lot of my least favourite Zelda games. Wind Waker (before the remake, I heard there were a lot of QoL changes that I had issue with from the original?), Phantom Hourglass and Skyward Sword. I would’ve beat my head against a desk if you said Spirit Tracks.

      But people do enjoy these, so I hope you like them much more than I did.

    Contraband Police - it’s like Papers Please, but since it’s in first person, it’s more complex - you have to manage the whole border crossing area with the few staff you have, you have a car that you have to manually drive to a supply shop and to drop prisoners and contraband off at, and you can get ambushed along the way or at your base, where you’re manually be shooting at smugglers with guns you buy.

    Shadows of Doubt - A game where you play as a detective in a city and you have to solve cases (sometimes murders) and often end up committing crimes yourself along the way. A lot of cases solved used by matching faces to names to fingerprints to voices to jobs to blood type, eye colour, hair colour, age, and so on. Extremely addictive and often hilarious, despite how buggy this early access game is.

    Dicey Dungeons - A roguelike deckbuilder with 6 different classes where you roll dice against cards with different effects and your enemy does the same to you. I don’t love roguelikes and really don’t like deck games but this one is really appealing, and has a great soundtrack. The different classes play through a LOT of different “episodes” where the rules of the game change.

    also playing a lot of Heroes of the Storm every goddamn night

        It’s one of those games that do a magic trick and make time go poof. Very deep, tons of things to do, and extremely moddable with a rich ecosystem. Something you can easily sink hundreds of hours into without even realizing it.

        Excellent game overall.

      I love both of those games so much. RE7 as the spooky RE experience I was too young to have when the first 2 came out, and RE8 as a campy horror movie (that spawned amazing memes on the subreddit before reddit went to shit) that is extremely fun to play. It’s also short enough that you can blast through again and again trying to beat your last time or trying out different guns… Loved it. Though it was cheesey, I did love the Winters’ story by the end—even made me tear up a lil

    Have about 200 hours of Valheim logged with my wife. I’m honestly feeling burned out, but she’s still into it, so I’m trying my best to remain interested. I love this game, but we’ve been playing of so much.

        I loved it until I didn’t.

        Don’t remember how far I got, maybe 2/3 of the biomes, then I burned out and got bored. That was a while back, and flattening the land was really glitchy. I’d have an area perfectly flattened and ready to commence building, save it all down, come back next day, and it’d all gone to shit again. I got sick of trying. It became more of a grind just to get back to my last save point than I wanted, and gave up on it.

        Did it ever get a full release?

    I guess Kirby and The Forgotten land mainly.

    And frankly I’m amazed with how good it is. I never thought this would be “my type of game”, and it’s not like I’m “wanna play this for 8h a day” addicted, in fact I get my fill after an hour or 2, but it’s just great. Like really great, so far 9 out of 10 for me.

    Persona’s really, really big (based of persona 4 I thought I knew when it would finish, but my guess was way off) and diablo’s doing a good job of being “video game golf”

        Not OP, but if you mean Diablo IV specifically:

        Pros:

        -Returns to its more dark and gritty roots.

        -The franchise as a whole has fantastic lore/good story. Like good enough to where if nothing else check out some lore videos here.

        -If you like diving into buildcrafting it is a pretty good series to get into. Same goes for if you like grinding for better loot.

        -The different classes are all pretty unique and all classes offer multiple ways to play the class. For example on Druid tou can be a Werewolf that zips around clawing at enemies at highspeed inflicting enemies you melee with a bunch of poison. Or you can be a Werebear that slams the ground to cause earthquakes to cast out in front of you. Or you can focus on throwing out tons of tornadoes and lightning. To name a few.

        -The game is going to be supported for quite some time, as i believe are two planned DLCs for the game plus regular seasonal content. In fact they are almost to season 30 of Diablo III and still supporting that game.

        -The devs have become very committed recently about being open on the when and why of any changes well in advance.

        Cons:

        -The game is still trying to find itself balance wise. In xp drops, in class skill balance, in armor abilities, in resistance stats. Key features that were added later in Diablo III’s lifetime just straight up not brought into IV for some reason.

        -This is oversimplifying it a lot, but the above plus some previous lack of open communication of changes has lost a lot of goodwill between players and devs. To the point they had to have a kind of emergency meeting stream about what they did and make promises to fix. So far it seems they are doing what they can to keep those at least.

        -The monetization is fully in your face. Now i will say, IMO it is not the worst game by any means. There arent any pay to win mechanics from what i have seen (a big problem in Diablo:Immortal), but the cosmetic stuff is there, it is advertised, and IMO pretty damn overpriced.

        -The endgame right now sucks. Now I’ll preface this by saying this should be one of the promised things changing very soon. But it currently really only consists of running harder and harder versions of the same dungeons with limited lives over and over and over again. And the way the dungeons are made harder is not just the enemy level, but with modifiers that a lot of players feel to be unfair. Like having enemies crowd control you in place repeatedly preventing you from moving or acting as they just simply kill you.

        That said, all in all i do recommend trying the game if RPGs/ARPGs even remotely interest you. Id give it something like a 7.5/10, and they do seem pretty committed to the long haul of supporting and improving the game. You could easily sink 30+ hours into the game. If you would like any more detail on any of those points id be happy to answer.

          I’m not a big big fan of monetisation in video games although it’s not a big deal I’ll probably wait for end game to improve prehaps then I might look into it thanks for the list m8

            Np. And they just announced last week some changes/additions to the end game that should make more high level activities worth doing plus having the ability to target farm the best loot in the game to a degree while doing so. That change i believe should be coming when the next season starts in about a week.
