My main game this weekend will probably be Thea 2. I’ve tried a couple of starts to get my feet wet and now it’s time for a deep dive. (@Nesrie I was going to replay Rimworld, but Thea 2 has stolen all my attention for survival games!)
If I play anything else, it’ll be Fallout: New Vegas. I’m trying to finish up some of the older games on my backlog and never finished the expansions. Just completed Old World Blues and started Dead Money, but I don’t know if I’ll make it through the other two. Much as I like the story and familiar setting, I think I prefer the moment-to-moment gameplay of Fallout 4. If F:NV doesn’t stick, next in the queue is Witcher 2.
I’m getting very close to unlocking those last couple upgrades and finishing the campaign. I don’t know what happens after that, I think some sort of endless mode unlocks, but endless modes don’t appeal to me. So when the game is done I will probably move on to the next tower defense game waiting for me, Gemcraft: Frostborne Wrath, which just came out today.
I chip away at this every few months when I get the urge. I’ve been chipping away at it for years. I die a lot and dislike boss fights, but the game is brilliant.
I decided to follow the lead of this guy but didn’t pick every one he mentioned, and on the other hand looked at what nexusmods had and picked a couple of bugfix mods to boot.
I shall be playing a LOT of Skyrim this weekend. I’m seeing a ton of new stuff, even after having this on 5 platforms!
I’ve also been thinking a bit about playing some Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 - I played a few hours at release, but got distracted. I read @tomchick 's excellent re-review the other day, and that got me interested in going back to it.
I may have been playing Glass Masquerade but don’t tell Evil Kosc.
I’m pursuing the cleaning of all my old consoles cables and gamepads after a basement catastrophe a few years back.
XBOX is alive but serves little purpose, Dreamcast’s GDROM drive is dead (although there are now ways to replace it with an emulated one, so there will be that option), but the highlight was yesterday’s succesful resurrection of the Sega Saturn. It took a lot of cleaning: the gamepad’s insides were abominable. But it works 100% still. I need to buy a battery and replace the internal one.
Yeah, I had the same feeling while playing through the first mission when it was released on PC. It’s kinda weird that it’s a much larger gap between Reach and Destiny than between Reach and Combat Evolved, considering the years between those games.
As for my weekend:
I’m trying to get Hull City to the Premier League in my first full season with them, after getting the job having taken a Vanarama National League club to League One. The board is satisfied with a top half finish, but I have bigger plans even though the financials are weak.
A lot of fun, though surprisingly challenging at times. It’s sort of Magicka with less elemental combo zaniness but no memorization and way more progression structure - unlockable characters, individual skill trees, tons of spells to learn and try etc. We’re really enjoying it, and plan to replay it with some new characters once we finish this first run-through.
