Last Video Game Played

Been trying Trials Rising. It's pretty fun. Currently on the PS Plus library of games if you wanted to try it out yourself. I'd say it's definitely a step up from Fusion I'd say both in terms of gameplay and graphics. It's still pretty tough but feels a bit more accessible in my opinion. Still a lot of trial and error involved as you'd expect from a biking game like this but it's an addictive game that's for sure. I've been pairing it with podcasts I've been listening to. It's kinda relaxing and chill when you play it that way.

Last night I was playing Diablo 1 for the first time and surprisingly on PS1. Never would have expected a game like this to function or perform as well as it does on that system, but it's actually a pretty decent port it seems. I've got down to about the 4th level of the Dungeon. The game itself is pretty darn tough, thank god for save states that's all I can say. Whilst the controls are a bit tricky and it has obviously aged, it is fun as heck and makes me want to check out the other Diablo games. It's a series I've never really got in to but I do find ARPG's to be really fun these days. Loving the art style, music, and the PS1 atmosphere of graphics really does enhance some of the spookiness of the world I gotta say.

Metal Gear Solid 1. I finally bought a PS1 and it came with MGS 1, so I began replaying it because the MGS series as a whole is my favorite game series of all time.

Trackmania Turbo. Game is fun as heck and a total blast to play, plus a lot of the tracks are really well crafted

If this is your first entry in the series than they only get better. I started with 2 so when i tried to play one it was way too dated and slow so i never played it.

That's good to hear, I'm basically just waiting for either 2 or 3 to go on sale. From what I've heard around, 3 is considered to be the best in the series

My love for ARPG games is very recent, it used to be a genre I wasn't really aware of or in to so I missed a ton of the bigger titles over the years as a result

I would recommend playing them in order if you can. They do follow a story even though it's not really important but I think you'll appreciate the games more in order. I would say Diablo 2 is the best in the series but Diablo 3 is far more fun to play because it's just more modern and they created the game with controllers in mind where as part 2 was PC only until a year or so ago. Sadly, i haven't played 4 yet even thought I preordered it

Palia. It's in open beta. Basically an adventure game of building your own place, mining, woodcutting, foraging, hunting, fishing, etc. in between doing quests. The money making is very grindy but it's fun.

TBH, I have interest in so many games and so little time and there are two coming out next month that I want to play also. lol

Took a break from playing the MGS series and been playing Death Stranding and itis and has been a fun game to play. I know, it gets kind of a bad rep, and I just don't get why. Minus a few plot holes or points that makes little sense it is solid overall, and the overall theme is great as well.

I expected to hate Death Stranding but it just really clicked with me as well, I think I just really enjoyed the atmosphere of the world a lot

I never really 'got' the story all that much but it was interesting nevertheless and Kojima knows how to make unique and weird stuff

 

[Marty McFourth]

I've been grinding out Torchlight 2 the past few nights, I'm really digging it so far

Definitely does a fantastic job filling in that Diablo hit I wanted and it runs smooth as butter on console, I really like the control scheme and the combat

I'm playing a class where you duel weapons like pistols and it's fun as heck just blowing your way through mobs

I sort of got it, but then I watched a video essay about it from a YouTuber called Gingey and afterwards I finally got what parts I didn't understand

I've been playing Diablo 2 and Dragon Age: Inquisition. The latter of which surprised me. I've never really played any of the Dragon Age games or seen them, so I didn't really know what to expect (although I do like BioWare generally). It's actually really fucking good and reminds me of Skyrim a lot.

Diablo 2 is just unreal. So, so addicting. Exactly what I was hoping for from it. Such a great game to grind whilst I vibe out to a podcast or some tunes too.

What class you pick?

What class you pick?

Sorceress. I never go with the magic bulds first, so I decided I'd mix it up for once. Liking it so far.
