What video games are you playing lately?

Been playing Oblivion (remastered) and have been enjoying it. Very similar to Skyrim which i also loved.
I didn't know about this until it had already released. Loved Skyrim so I think I'll probably pick this up someday

its crazy how old that original game was! i played both when they first released!...makes me feel old.

its amazing how much inventory management was required with those games. I just finished Avowed on Xbox. It was good, but it was dumbed down to the point of being almost boring. i got to the point(as i always do with these games) that i was able to basically easy mode the final missions as i had completed basically everything and had a fully maxed out character by the time i started the final missions. Still fun, but i much prefer the likes of fallout and oblivion for more of a challenge. plus the base building and world is more interesting in those(to me).

Im looking hard at the outer worlds 2, but 70 or 80 is a bitter ass pill and i have been burned too many times to preorder anything at this point.

My Gf, job, 3d printer, and house renovations also dictate that i have very little free time.

Yeah the inventory management is super tedious! I finished the main mission early and when i tried to go back to an earlier save so i could close more oblivion gates (and get more sigil stones) i realized that the quicksaves get overwritten. Oh well, i am doing some of the side quests but i will probably stop at some point like I did with Skyrim after the main quest.

For sure. Lately I have been going "full completion" on games like this for lack of other titles to play.

There is an aspect of the inv management in the fallout games, but it seems to be more streamlined in general?
 
Lately I’m bouncing between Helldivers 2 with a buddy and a fresh BG3 run. In Helldivers I mapped grenades to a side button or I’ll fat finger stratagems and wipe us. BG3 as a Lore Bard has been great for talking past fights. Also replaying New Vegas with light mods.

I finished Stray not to long ago (great game!). Been playing Dead Island 2 and it not bad.... Gets a bit tedious at times but its entertaining

Fallout New Vegas is my all time favorite game!
 
Anyone try this?

Anyone play cyberpunk 2077? I heard it had issues at release but with all the updates/patches it’s supposedly a good game now. I played GTA V awhile back but for some reason got bored with it but this game sounds interesting

I have beaten it through twice. once pre patching when it was super janky and once post patch with the DLCs that were available. it is a great game. It is in a really good state now. Im on my second round through it and have completed everything up to the most recent DLCs...there was huge lull for a year or two in good RPG games so i got extra reps in on the ones that were out.

I got pretty far in starfield as well, but i got kind of bored with it.

Good to know, Its pricey but i may give it a try. I really loved Starfield but also got bored as well. I got to the point where you choose new game+ and didnt proceed. The same POI over and over got real old after a time, would have been better with less planets with more variation.
 
Yes! It's a good game, but as far as replicating the experience of creating recipes it's not great. The measurements and units are finicky and the equipment is real fiddly. If the price is right I say go for it
The worst part is the clean up…
