Play it ASAP, it's great.

[–] LittleTarsier@lemmy.ca 3 points 10 months ago

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.

[–] thingsiplay@beehaw.org 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] termus@beehaw.org 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] thingsiplay@beehaw.org 2 points 10 months ago

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.

[–] Gerudo@lemm.ee 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I'm jealous of a 1st play through. It's incredible.

[–] Telorand@reddthat.com 2 points 10 months ago

That's what I keep hearing! Looking forward to a good space opera

Can't wait to find someone who will play It Takes Two with me. As the name suggests, it takes two people to play and I am but one person. :(

[–] bratosch@lemm.ee 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

If you find someone, you should also play 'A Way Out' !

Hope you find someone. I played it with my wife, and didn't expect too much, but it was actually one of the better games I've played. Truly fantastic level and puzzle design.

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.

[–] thisisbutaname@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 10 months ago (3 children)

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.

[–] eezeebee@lemmy.ca 2 points 10 months ago

I feel this. I've been playing it on medium-ish settings to compensate. It will be a blast when you do play!

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.

[–] teawrecks@sopuli.xyz 7 points 10 months ago

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.

[–] TehPers@beehaw.org 4 points 10 months ago

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.

[–] match@pawb.social 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

i have spiritfarer but my mom is on the way out and I'm waiting to play it until i need it

[–] TwiddleTwaddle@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 10 months ago

If you're looking for more like it, Gris is on sale for 1.50 right now on steam. Beautiful game with similar themes.

[–] drmoodmood@lemmy.ml 5 points 10 months ago

Pacific Drive for me! Played the demo and it seemed a pretty chill scavenging and driving game. I'll get to it once I'm done with The Outer Worlds and its DLC.

[–] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 5 points 10 months ago

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.

[–] saigot@lemmy.ca 5 points 10 months ago

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.

My backlog and my library are huge so I'll choose a few (in no particular order):

  • Baldur's Gate 3
  • Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood
  • Inscryption
  • Hades
  • Hollow Knight
  • Outer Wilds DLC (I've been putting it off because it's supposedly scary)
  • Stray
  • Little Kitty, Big City
  • Monster Train
  • Moonstone Island
[–] teawrecks@sopuli.xyz 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It's worth noting that the "scary" parts of the Outer Wilds DLC (are very mild, and) are not mandatory. That is to say, for the most part, if you find solving a part of the game too stressful, try approaching it differently.

I loved the base game and DLC. Should be the top of any backlog IMO.

[–] t3rmit3@beehaw.org 4 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

Main backlog I actually want to play currently:

If you can't tell from Isles of Adalar and Monomyth, any game that looks like a Morrowind knock-off is a high priority for me. :P

In reality though, I'll just play more Avorion and Starsector.

[–] Glide@lemmy.ca 11 points 10 months ago

Do yourself a favor and stop putting off Cassette Beasts. Every time I play it, I am gobstruck that an indie team made this and sells it for a fraction of the price of whatever mediocrity Pokemon is pumping out.

I could sing it's praises all day, but I'd rather just politely nudge you to push it up the list.

[–] Megaman_EXE@beehaw.org 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Ashen44@lemmy.ca 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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...

[–] Megaman_EXE@beehaw.org 3 points 10 months ago

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

[–] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Baldur's Gate 2

Sadly I just can't read so much at the moment.

Frog Detective 3! I absolutely loved Frog Detective 1&2 but for some reason haven't gotten around to 3.

[–] HarvesterOfEyes@piefed.social 4 points 10 months ago

Sekiro. Friends tell me it's one of the harder From Software games so I'm looking forward to die many times.

Half Life Alyx

[–] dillekant@slrpnk.net 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I've given up. I'm going to just keep adding to wishlist and nibble on a new one every now and then.

[–] Icarus@beehaw.org 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] dillekant@slrpnk.net 3 points 10 months ago

I keep mine in an ever growing wishlist, which I never get back to, but it stops me from feeling like I forgot anything.

[–] sexual_tomato@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 10 months ago

Planescape: Torment

Waiting to get a better eyeglass prescription so I can read the tiny text

Metal Gear Solid V >:)

I bought that game day one, actually played like the first 4 missions, thought to myself "Wow, this is going to be incredible! I should wait until I have a loong weekend, hehe~", and then never touched it again.

I am glacially making my way through the first 4 now, though.

[–] tias@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Horizon Zero Dawn, Planet of Lana

[–] ninjaphysics@beehaw.org 3 points 10 months ago

When you get around to HZD, the DLC Frozen Wilds and Horizon: Forbidden West are highly recommended. I'm halfway through the second and it's so amazing.

Remnant 2. Gotta finish Cyberpunk 2077 (again) first though. The damn DLC adding extra achievements has thrown everything off!

[–] Panties@lemmy.ca 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Animal well and wingspan. I think there are others too, despite trying hard to keep stuff in my wishlist instead of backlog.

Mostly my backlog comes from starting a game and then getting distracted by something else.

[–] autumn@beehaw.org 4 points 10 months ago

wingspan

i love both the physical and digital versions of this game. 🕊️
