What Game Are You Playing Right Now?

~~MicShazam~~ · 02-10-2019, 03:33 PM

I really don't like the old Icewind Dale/Baldur's Gate type start/stop time combat system, so that's gonna be a problem for PoS. That type of combat system is a big reason why I didn't like Dragon Age at all. Plus some things about gritty, modern western RPG storytelling that I really don't get along with. PoS is evidently a very story heavy game, so that's a turn-off for me.

Original Sin seems more appealing to me, but I'm still not sure I'm gonna bother any time soon. I really prefer dungeon crawlers to story heavy RPGs.

So I don't know. I'm aware they're games that are supposed to be good, but they're not on my lengthy Steam and GOG wish lists.

Got back into Borderlands 2 and I don't know if there's a mechanic I love more than kill/loot/sell/buy/repeat.

Apex Legends

It's been a good while since I jumped on the battle royale bandwagon. I don't really hate the genre all that much, I just felt like it was getting too samey. I've been playing a bit of Apex Legends and I am loving it. It's kind of a mixture of Call of Duty's Blackout, PUBG, Overwatch with the movement mechanics of Titanfall. Matches can go pretty quick and the looting aspect is fantastic. Some weapons are great, others are not. So far, haven't felt like getting killed felt cheap. Still getting used to the weapon play though I already love it. Overall a fantastic addition to the battle royale scene. This one will only get better in time. It's already so refined as well and I've not had a single issue with performance or server performance etc. And it's free to play. Same model as Fortnite. Totally free, but you can buy some unique skins if you want. Definitely worth your time.

Yo Mic, I've got a rec for you. It's called Cosmic Star Heroine. Trust me, you'll love it.

I have a hard time wrapping my head around things to recommend you.

I feel bad for anyone that hasn't experienced DoS II at the very least.

Who plays ARPGs for the story?

debaserr · 02-10-2019, 10:59 PM

It does look pretty neat. And the price is low right now. I like that it looks JRPG inspired and anime styled, but with a bit of restraint. A lot of anime designs these days are just TOO anime if you know what I mean. This game is keeping it simple and I like that.

Is the music good?

And what about the battle system?

And not least: Is there an insanely high random encounter rate? There better not be!

It's understandable. I've been playing tonnes of games since 1992 or something, and I've cultivated set of prefrerences that not everybody will be able to relate to. I could write a novel about my view on what good game design is and what is and isn't interesting to me about games in general, but I'll spare you.
