A new week and a new thread.
What are you all playing!
Road 96! Also revisiting Hyperlight Drifter
Diablo 4 with my wife, and replaying GTA V. Both have been a lot of fun.
How’s diablo 4 for a (I’m guessing) casual player? Was looking to pick it up but haven’t heard that much positive about it.
I thought the game was spectacularly bad, but I seem to be in the minority. Makes me feel like I’m taking crazy pills! It’s a very pretty game with super shallow mechanics and it’s designed for maximum grind. I can handle grind in an ARPG since it’s kinda their thing, but you gotta have some good mechanics to go with it or it’s just an idle/incremental game with prettier graphics.
I enjoyed the campaign of Diablo 4, but as you mentioned the game has a serious lack of depth.
It became especially obvious to me once I hit the endgame and realized there just wasn’t that much to do.
In Path of Exile especially there is so much depth and content around the endgame that it feels like there’s almost too much to do.
I don’t think Diablo 4 is bad, but I do think it’s far too casual. The combat is satisfying and the graphics are great. But the skill tree and RPG systems are massively lacking.
Minetest, mostly on the capture the flag server
Battlebit Remastered and MWII when my friends have been online
I really want to keep playing Satisfactory, we had just automated computers and aluminum, so I’d really like to build a huge train system and push into the endgame.
No oxygen included. Finally might make it to a point where I discover a new machine/furniture and have to restart again to plan my base around it.
