i am trying to replay through the Fable games. after playing Fable I and liking it just as much as I remember, i am trying to play through Fable II, and i just-- find it so clunky? and boring?

Update: I bought Stray. I do not regret this choice.

I’ve been meaning to get back into FFXIV, but have been laaaaazy. I got Ark 1 during the mega sale, but haven’t even tried to load it, worried my computer will just melt. So what am I actually playing? I bounce back and forth between a few different games, with varying levels of ‘oh God, I sat down 14 hours ago to start playing, where did the time go?!?’:

Horizon: Zero Dawn (Yes, I still hunt the robots. MU when?)
FF7R (Keeps me in a semi-Exalted, semi-Shadowrun vibe!)
Rimworld (MOSTLY with the mods that turn it into The Martian, adding atmos and water)
Space Engineers (SPAAAAACESHIPS (and rovers, and stations)
Stationeers (More IN DEPTH space station building)
Timberborn (Civilization, but with Beavers)

And some other games I haven’t played in an even longer while than FFXIV. Valheim. 7D2D. Elite Dangerous (May never go back, after disappointing space legs, we’ll see)

Stray made me an emotional wreck, I love that little cat. Every time I think about that little cat, I cry again. Named them Howard.

I want to help every cat in the world.

Hi folks! Breaking my lurker silence to highly recommend Outer Wilds. It’s difficult to describe, but is primarily focused on exploration, investigation/puzzle solving and is story driven. If you do end up giving it a shot, I strongly suggest not looking up detailed reviews, synopses or spoilers. It’s way more fun to experience with no knowledge going in.

Been playing Star Wars: The Old Republic ever since FFXIV glitched and won’t sync with my two step verification passcode (rude much?)

Surprisingly a lot of decent changes at least on the subscriber level. Having a lot of fun playing storylines I hadn’t gotten around to before. I literally have played through Sith Inquisitor storyline at least half a dozen times.

@Mourne

Hey, I play that off and on. If you haven’t done Imperial Agent, do it, and play a Chiss. It gets a couple extra lines of dialogue here and there, but don’t ask me to remember what they are. Some of them don’t come up until KOTEE stuff tho.

guess I know what I’m doing this weekend.

Mourne

@IoleRae I’ve heard nothing but good things about Imperial Agent but haven’t gotten around to it yet Currently playing through Sith Warrior and Bounty Hunter

IoleRae

@Mourne

Sith Warrior is my favorite, but IA class story is the best story in the game, there’s just no quality comparison. It really is that good.

Mourne

@IoleRae One of my favorite thing about the changes, is I can play IA using any of the smuggler, trooper, bounty hunter, or imperial agent power sets.

IoleRae

@Mourne

I have wanted these changes since launch. When I found out they were making them I was overwhelmed with happiness about the game. It is a good change. It is a very, very good change.

TNP

Played SW:TOR quite a bit. It’s a very good game. But I moved on to Guild Wars 2 which is also a very good game and I heartily recommend it.

Seconding this one. It’s an amazingly fun game.

I’ve really been wanting to play Ark again, but I seem to be physically incapable of playing anything alone. IT’S A REAL PROBLEM. Especially when you have like two friends and they both like to play singleplayer games, lol.

I MISS playing Overwatch, but I haven’t touched it since the Blizzard Bullshit in part because the one friend who would play it with me doesn’t play it anymore.

I only play FFXIV with any regularity lately but I’ve been struggling to engage with more than roulettes. I’ve been desperately searching for something to get sucked into but I can’t seem to stick to anything!

Teaching fellow members in my Guild in ESO how to not be afraid of PvP has been a joy to do.

You don’t have to be some 8000 hour sweatlord to be decent in PvP. Just a group that knows what it’s doing. Sure you’ll probably die a lot. I’m decent at PvP and I die a ton in it. But there’s still fun to be had.
