It’s December! Which means vacations and deadlines. Which mean unreliable schedule to post weekly threads. So, bear with me this month, I’ll try to post them on time, but if I don’t, don’t worry, we should get back to normal weekly posts from January.
And since this post is so late, going to make it a post for this week and the next. Now, games!
Playing Fortnite, my kid regularly plays it, but when I saw the Lego Fortnite trailer I got intrigued, gave it a try and loving it. Also playing Rocket Racing mode. Haven’t gotten a chance to try the third one, Festival I guess it’s called.
All other games are on pause due to lack of free time, except for Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth 1, the smaller size of Vita makes it much easier to lug around, so getting some hours in the game when I don’t have anything else to do.
That’s all from my end, what about all of you? What have you been playing? Or meaning to play over the holidays?

Made me look at the calendar, I thought I had been in a coma for a few days!
… It is Wednesday, right?
I’m out of town and didn’t think a lot about which game to bring, so I just started a second playthrough of Pokémon Scarlet with only flying type Pokémon. I didn’t even like the first playthrough that much, but I had wanted to do a monotype run of any game one day, and this one was right here, so here I am. It’s ok I guess.

Haha yeah, this is last week’s thread which got delayed, so posted it now as a combined thread for this and next week.
Good luck with monotype run. Wouldn’t that make almost impossible to beat a gym leader if he has umm… whatever is the weakness of wind.
It makes it harder but it’s still easier than I’d like hahaha
After realizing I don’t actually enjoy Starfield any longer, I started playing BG3
What didn’t you like in Starfield?
Also, how are you liking BG3?
I had some nagging feelings about Starfield from the start and I hoped they would go away. Many of the overhyped features lost their shine quite quickly.
I did give it a real chance and have about 60 hours logged. In the end what killed it for me is how small it feels. It’s just a bunch of levels connected by fast traveling, lots of locations are copy and pasted, the „capital of the universe“ has like 20 buildings and feels dead, etc
I have 300+ hours in Skyrim, and I am more likely to return to Skyrim than to Starfield.
Also, dragon shouts in space? Ridiculous.
Regarding BG3: I’m enjoying it. It’s a bit steep for someone who didn’t have much exposure to the D&D universe and D&D overall, but I already see the depth and the replay value. It’s a great game.

I was super hyped for Starfield, was thinking about getting Xbox just for that, but the reviews are disappointing. I can see that there might be a game that I may “enjoy” for 40-50 hours, but it doesn’t seem to be what everyone was expecting.
Good luck with BG3!
I paid for the premium edition, and I guess I just wanted to force myself to like it because of how much I was on the hype train. I doubt I would’ve gone 60 hours deep otherwise. I was just waiting for that one thing that made it special, but it never came.
Well, hopefully by the time I get around to getting Xbox, there would be some other really good first party exclusives that I wont’ feel too bad even I end up not liking Starfield.
I feel for you though. Bethesda is one of my favourite studio and I have been looking forward to Starfield for so long. Hopefully Obsidian will do better with The Outer Worlds 2 and Avowed.
Animal Crossing New Horizons. Received this two Christmas ago and enjoy playing now and then.
But on man do I wish I had a dodo code to an island where I could get cherry and pears.
I have apples, oranges, peaches, coconuts yet can’t get the others.
Vegetables I have tomatoes, potatoes, carrots, wheat, and sugar cain.
It’s ridiculous that you can’t use miles and get to an island that has the other stuff.
If you have Discord they have a very active community, or well it used to be active, haven’t checked in a while.
If you don’t have Discord, let me know, I can return to the island and send you my code. I haven’t really played in a while, so place will be a mess, but at least I can give you the fruits.
Wow thank you! I check out thier Discord but definitely will be grateful for the code.
Quick question but you have a link to the discord? Couldn’t find it in search.
That’s the discord, people are generally pretty nice and helpful, though it has been a while since release so I am not sure how many people would be active.
Thank you. Still want DM me your dodo code?

You can basically just get them from trees, right? It has been quite a while, I have forgotten how that used to work 😀
Yes three to a tree lol. I share my code if I knew it off hand.
A new code is generated each time. I have closed the gates now. Next time I open them, the code will be different.
And I meant that visitors can take them from trees, right? I know visitors can use shops and pick up stuff from ground, but didn’t know if they can get from trees too or not.
If you still need the fruits and maybe the vegetables DM me? you can have some of mine.
LoL plagues me as usual.
However I’ve been playing some Rust and Project Zomboid on the side.
I am also playing Skylords (fan resurrection of EA’s Battleforge) which is an RTS but your units/civ is made up by a deck of cards you build yourself. It’s a very different take on the RTS genre and I never saw anything like it.
Edit: might go enjoy GuildWars2 winter event. They are usually super fun.
Too many games 😀
Have fun at the GW2 event!
Hahaha you’re not wrong…
Usually I play Skylords for about 30~40mins to take care of the daily. Project Zomboid late at night maybe 2hrs or so. Ruat about 1~2 after I get off work and then some league ARAM games here and there. It’s tight but I manage.
I don’t think I could fit anything else in there though hahah I’m only considering GuildWars2 event since it’s the weekend :)
In my search for short but awesome games, I just started playing Inscryption! I haven’t gotten very far, but boy does it spark my curiosity, I neeeed to find out what awaits

I’ve only gotten to the second act so far, but it’s new enough for me to still have interest! I saw on howlongtobeat that it should take around 12 hours, so I hope that me being ready for that will make me last until the end.
deleted by creator
Haha, when I first read your comment I thought you were referring to the first map, before you beat the Prospector, and I was confused how you spent more than 12 hours there 😆 But now I’ve actually gotten to the second act and I totally get what you mean! I don’t like the atmosphere nearly as much there, but I hope I’ll have the enthusiasm to finish the game anyway
Pokemon Platinum, playing around but mostly to complete what I am missing in Black 2
The Deponia collection was a steal. Seems very Monkey Island-y. I liked the monkey island series so hopefully I’ll like this. I’ll be playing Deponia.
I tried little big factory before but I called it quits after realising it’s not for me. Also bought Move Out on sale but just seems too repetitive, maybe it’s more of a multiplayer game than single player…
I played Deponia series quite a while ago, the humour isn’t to everyone’s taste but I liked it, but it had the same issues that most adventure games have, very convoluted puzzles. So, I gave up and didn’t play them anymore.
You mean Little Big Workshop?
And yeah, games like Move Out are fun playing with others.

I was sick over the past week and got Dave the Diver to have something not to demanding to play as I am done with Pokemon, super fun I highly recommend it.
I also got back into Animal Crossing.
Do you have cherry and peaches? 😀
Both, do you need?
No, @[email protected] in this same thread is also playing AC, and looking for cherry and peaches.
I will ask is they still need them
I got back into Super Mario Odyssey, after like 5 years. Just felt the desire to play it again and man, does it take me back to 2017/18. Still just as fun.
Yeah, can’t waiting for next 3D Mario. I guess it would be at least couple of years.

I’m probably going to install the original Doom on my laptop.
Have you tried any of the “boomer” shooters? They can scratch that itch, unless you just want to play Doom.
I had to Google what that was. When did Doom become retro/vintage?!
I’ll check out the curated list I found on Steam. Thanks. 👍
Glad to be helpful.
Would love to hear which ones you played and what you thought about them.

I don’t think anyone has ever mentioned Starfield in this thread, and yet we have three mentions of it this week. What happened?
Removed by mod
Yeah, makes sense.
Have fun!
Still playing Honk Train (Honkai Star Rail) and Palia. As a bonus, the latter just came out on the Switch and has cross save. So I’m going to be setting that up in a minute.
I started Palia on handheld, and don’t know why but it felt a bit off. Will probably give it another try.
It’s definitely leggy there. I think it’s still technically in beta? It runs a lot better on PC. Big surprise, I know.
I’m beating TOTK again.
What did TOTK ever do to you, that you have to beat it again and again?
It knows what It did.
Trying to finish up Persona 4 Golden on my Switch. Playing some Risk of Rain Returns on the side
I’ll be moving on to Baldurs Gate 3 on my Xbox Series S once I’m done with P4G. Also playing Remnant 2 and Warhammer 40k Darktide Co-op with friends.
Persona 4 Golden is a great game. How far along are you?
How’s W40K Darktide?
Just finished the second to last dungeon and fusing my Personas for endgame (Yoshitsune and Trumpeter). Combat is a lot less involved than SMT V which I played before this, however the story has been more engaging so far.
Pro tip for Darktide is the first few missions can be a slog because you have no good abilities and are still trying to figure out which weapon combos work. It gets much better once you have a party going and the challenge intensifies.
I’ll see if I can get my friends to try it. Not a big multi-player fan otherwise.
Thanks for the info!
