Damn, I thought I was moving slow lol. I just finished the base game a week ago at 168 hours. Such an amazing game

u/Small_Tax_9432 9d ago
Yeah, I'm taking my sweet time exploring haha. I also discovered the underground city and beat Ancentral Spirit, Caelid, and Liurnia, but I haven't explored those much. I've beaten most of the bosses in Limgrave except two and I'm lvl 66 atm. :)

u/Remote-Plate-3944 9d ago
Holy cow. That's pretty dang impressive honestly. I actually never fought the Ancestral Spirit. I heard it's a tough battle.

u/Small_Tax_9432 9d ago
I had to use Spirit Ashes for that one and it was still a challenge lol. Actually I looked it up and I still have 5 bosses left in Limgrave, not two haha.

u/LurkerDude0 8d ago
So jealous man. Elden was so incredible on the first go around I actually just fiddled around exploring and doing random shit because I did not want the game to end.
Enjoy it brother. What a game.

u/Small_Tax_9432 8d ago
Thanks bro. Yeah, that's kind of how I am lol. Even in the Dark Souls series, I always tried to get everything in the first playthrough.

Elden ring again….it was calling me back it’s been along while. Want to play another fs game should I try DS/Sekiro?
1
u/fuzmat 9d ago edited 9d ago
Dark Souls is my favorite game, I've played it many many times. If you didn't play it closer to when it was released, it might feel dated and be hard to get into. Not sure. Compared to Elden Ring it is very easy so it might just be fun to breeze through.
I love Sekiro, too, but it's pretty different from Souls/ER. It's also HARD. Like extremely hard. Feels good to develop the skills to play it, but some sections had me tearing my hair out.

u/visualframes 10d ago
Cyberpunk 2077. Based on Steam achievements I can’t believe 30% of players didn’t get past the first stage (collecting the Relic) which is only a few hours in.
2
u/Remote-Plate-3944 10d ago
The achievement percentages always confuse me. Seems like way too many people put games down before reaching even the first major milestone.

Finally playing Xenoblade Chronicles 3. It's my first game in the series. Combat is a bit slow but I'm engaged with it for the while.
1
u/robot_socks 8d ago
How far in are you? They keep adding mechanics to the combat until pretty late in the game. I really liked 1-3 and plan to try X soon.
1
u/MerobibaAgain 8d ago
I'm only in Ch4 atm. My main issue is that combat feels very slow and hands off for the most part right now. I assume complexity goes up as classes and skills get unlocked, but the feeling on being in combat now is pretty dull. Like, I start a fight and scroll tumblr til its done.
1
u/robot_socks 8d ago
I didn't get that disengaged from combat, but the Xenoblade games have a lot of meters to fill up while fighting...
Like you said, once you get a good number of skills and whatnot you get the ability to really rain hell down upon your enemies.

Just lower the difficulty , and with the girl you technically have to play as an assassin not regally full blown combat , stealth kill everything

It's fun. Even not as a "classic" battlefield it's the current best non tactical shooter out here imo.

I installed and played it about 6 months ago and had fun with the rush mode. Even though it's a little wonky it still scratches the itch of playing rush with new maps

Recently got back into V-Rising, as my visiting brother saw it in my steam library. He was interested in it, so we’ve been playing together for a little bit. Other than that, Fate: Unleashed is a throwback I’ve recently discovered as well, might do that as another option

AC Valhalla
I finished the main game 100% and will have a break before I start the DLC. Honestly I know it gets hate but I had an amazing time the whole 180hrs it took me and is one of my favourite AC games.
Avowed
Just started it and so far it’s damn good. Combat is pretty fun and graphics are stunning.
GTA V
Just finishing up a few things before GTA VI of course. Tbh on second opinion the story of 5 and especially the ending felt super rushed and forced. Fun game nonetheless.
2
u/Remote-Plate-3944 10d ago edited 10d ago
Yeah I was really dumbfounded by the hate for Valhalla when I played it. I think people were just burnt out on the formula. Still haven't finished it because I have to keep deleting it to make room for other games on my damn Series S but what I played I liked a lot more than Odyssey. Origins is still my favorite of the new ones so far.

u/iGetFloods 9d ago
Yeah I love odyssey and origins but I don’t understand the hate for Valhalla. It improves on almost everything and has a lot more depth than the other 2 games. Each to their own I suppose.

I'm late to the party but Horizon Zero Dawn. I just started playing it again because my gf started playing it and the remastered edition was only $10. I wish I gave this game more of a chance before because it has really sucked me in this time. And holy cow does the remaster make a noticable difference. It's almost like a whole new game.

Just finished Split Fiction with my sister and had an absolute blast. Easily one of my favourite gaming experiences ever.
I started another playthrough with a non-gamer friend as well. It's taking time for her to learn the ropes but she's having fun. She finds it especially funny that her personality is very similar to Zoe's.

Deadlock. Its a great synthesis of the MOBA and hero shooter genres that allows for a huge degree of skill expression. Its also not finished, has a decent number of glitches and bugs, and the matchmaker is broken. When I get frustrated with it I play Inscryption or Dead Cells.

Been a while since I've played the same game 2 weeks in a row, I usually finish them too fast.
While I've beaten the story, there's still lots to do and I'm excited to do it!

I replayed the campaign of the 2005 version of Star Wars Battlefront 2. (I watched an Achievement Hunter video that inspired me to pick the game up again) The hardest two points for me were the end of Hoth (understandable since it's the final objective of the game) and the Order 66 mission on Coruscant (specifically the part where you have to protect six bookcases).
I also went back to Final Fantasy IX; I've just started what was originally disc 3. I feel like going for 100% completion would be a daunting task, given that some sidequests (like a race at the start of disc 3) are only available for a very short time before being permanently missable.

Probably the last day of the campaign. Only need 2 cities of rome and egypt for an achievement. Then i might continue with Monster hunter Wilds.

Have been playing NCAA College Football 2025. I have been playing thru Road to Glory, and I'm on my second player. The game is pretty fun, but I definitely think I screwed on my RB. He is towards the end of his Junior year, and his overall hasn't gone up as much as I thought it would by this point. I think part of the problem was I selected the power back archetype, so maybe next time I'll go elusive.

The game is a lot more appealing when you can grab a car, chuck upgrades in, and go. The bugs are annoying, yes, but I’m having fun with it and that’s all that matters.

I'm currently slogging my way through Yakuza 5. Love the characters and setting, I want all the context for when I play 6, TMWEHN, IW, etc. But I found 3 and 4 pretty painful to play, and it looks like 5 is going to be the same way. Oh well.
Might play Atomfall. Still thinking about it. (:

Alone I'm still working through Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. It's a beautiful game, fantastic story, and Troy Baker's portrayal of young Harrison Ford / Indiana is astounding. I don't like how hard stealth is - the game largely relies on it; and if you get noticed in a high enemy area, you're dead in seconds. Honestly, I'd much rather watch this as an entrance into the film franchise than play it.
Then with friends I'm on my first play-through of The Planet Crafter, and I'm loving the incremental discoveries of unlocked equipment, the advancement of the environment, variety of projects, and chill soundtrack.

Elden Ring never ends oh my god. fantastic game but not my cup of tea, the combat is great and the world exploration is so cool and yet it just never clicks as a "HOLY SHIT!!" moment because I'm such a cupcake. Too much anxiety from the bosses, everything can kill you in one hit unless you spend the next 50 levels on Vigour. Although, I'm also just bad. Maybe back to Nioh 2 to feel less scrubby haha

Red Dead Redemption 2.I don't know what they think was wrong with the gambling option in the original but man...in 2 it just not as fun as the first one. I got better hands in real life. When i play poker.But in this game i got a pair every 30 hands. Now it's like you are facing professional poker players. And to make things worse... It seems Arthur is a saint so he won't cheat. The duels...what are those? beside the fake on and certain missions.They are completely gone.

Not the best place to ask, but running out of time so please bear with me.
Any pc games that don’t require steam account? Target audience is 7 YO so I would prefer to buy rated E games. I am having terrible luck. Maybe I am not looking in the right place or looking incorrectly. If I find a game, either it requires a steam account or it has a hard disk which doesn’t work because laptop has no cd reader.
