Disco elesium eventually
Play it ASAP, it’s great.
I just finished my first playthrough and wanted to start a new game immediately afterward. I’ve never felt like that after a game before. Disco Elysium is an amazing game.
Mass Effect Legendary Edition.
Never played ME, before, but I hear it’s pretty good.
Mass Effect is really one of a kind. The first game is the most epic Space Opera that I have ever played/watched. It puts Star Wars and others to shame. They retconned shit in the 2nd and 3rd games so in my opinion the first one remains the best story-wise. But honestly, all three are great.
I am very sad that no other studios tried to do anything even remotely comparable. The closest I can think of is Starfield, which wasn’t very good.
Me too. I have the “old” versions “Mass Effect 2007”, “Mass Effect 2 2010” and “Mass Effect 2 (2010) Edition” (for some reasons there are two versions of old ME2) on Steam and was about to buy Legendary Edition and finally getting started to play. But I’m not happy with the additional requirements of it, as it requires Origin client and an EA account to play this single player game. This is unacceptable to me. Old versions do not require this.
So after my research and being confused of multiple versions and if the Legendary Edition is worth it, lost interest. But ME2 is still on my list to play soon.
You can mod the first three to get it close to par with the Legendary edition. The improvements they made in LE on all 3 make it worth playing, but if a user account is your limit I guess not. There are a ton of mods for LE now as well.
I play most PC games without modding, especially because I’m on Linux. I’ve compared and read about the improvements, and to its just minimal changes. Only the first game got huge improvements, but I’m more interested into playing 2 only. And as someone playing lot of old games and emulate old systems, its totally fine with me. I even played GTA 4 (last year and this) without modding on PC, but still have to finish it.
I’m jealous of a 1st play through. It’s incredible.
That’s what I keep hearing! Looking forward to a good space opera
Elden Ring.
I’ve bought it on sale knowing my PC can’t run it. As soon as I finally update it that’s the first game I’m gonna install.
I mean it runs on a steam deck – what’s holding you back? Or do you just want to run it with better settings?
No, I mean it won’t run at all.
My machine is a laptop with a nvida 960m for a GPU. Game wouldn’t even start.
I feel this. I’ve been playing it on medium-ish settings to compensate. It will be a blast when you do play!
Baba is you. I know the game was made by people much smarter than I am, I know I’m going to get stuck chasing a bad idea for 30+ minutes…
I have just not been feeling puzzley lately.
i have spiritfarer but my mom is on the way out and I’m waiting to play it until i need it
If you’re looking for more like it, Gris is on sale for 1.50 right now on steam. Beautiful game with similar themes.
Hades Baldur’s Gate 3 Witcher 3 Dark Souls 3 Elden Ring Path of Exile II Zelda Breath of the Wild (Switch II?) Z BotW II
Better take a year off, mate.
Are you paying? :P But yeah I know I am a terrible person. But the good thing, this way I don’t play mediocre or above average games. :D Although I spent way too much game on “multiplayer” games like Deadlock atm.
Return of the obra dinn
I feel like it’s a game to be played in one long go, so I’m waiting for the right time.
The Witcher 3
Gotta finally make it through The Witcher 1 first and then play The Witcher 2. The first game in the series is so rough around the edges (even after many patches) that this is easier said than done. I hate jumping into the middle of a game series due to the fear of missing out on references and character backstories, which is why I’m torturing myself like this.
I highly recommend skipping straight to witcher 3 unless you really love the series and want to consume everything it has. Still, 3 + the dlc has a lot.
TBH my favorite part of W3 was all the side quests. The writing and dialogue are intriguing and give you more of a flavor for the dark fantasy of the world.
Fortunately, if you need character backstories and such, you could instead read the books or watch the TV series instead. I jumped straight into Witcher 3 and had no issues with missing background knowledge.
That’s not to say you shouldn’t play 1 or 2 though, just that there are other options.
A good chunk of the 3DS library. So many titles I haven’t gotten around to yet.
I need to eventually finish monster hunter iceborne and then play Rise! I have a feeling I’ll probably end up just jumping to wilds though. It’ll probably be hard to go back to older titles when that game releases.
The Yakuza series! I have only finished zero, 1 & 2. They release them faster than I’m getting to them lol.
Monster hunter mentioned!
I really want to tell you to give rise a try because the sunbreak expansion is absolute peak monster hunter, but I agree that february 28th release date is creeping up way too fast…
I want to try it so badly! I loved that they leaned into the Japanese themes and imagery, too. I think I’ll definitely have to make some time to play it.
I want to also play persona 3 for the first time, but it’s like 100 hours or so, and I look at that number and think, “That’ll take me 6 months to finish.” Haha maybe I’ll hermit myself inside the house this winter and smash it out in half that time
Sekiro. Friends tell me it’s one of the harder From Software games so I’m looking forward to die many times.
Looked through all of my games on Steam Deck and forgot I had a few. None of them I can’t say I’m really interested in right now, but I’m somewhat excited about Psychonauts because I’ve heard good things about it.
Witcher 3.
Half Life Alyx
I’ve given up. I’m going to just keep adding to wishlist and nibble on a new one every now and then.
I feel this. In some ways it was a relief discovering that I didn’t need to keep up with gaming anymore. I would just play what I want want to play, when. But unfortunately I’ve missed (or even forgotten) about a lot of games I really wanted to play.
I keep mine in an ever growing wishlist, which I never get back to, but it stops me from feeling like I forgot anything.
Planescape: Torment
Waiting to get a better eyeglass prescription so I can read the tiny text
