What are you playing now?

Thanks! Still not sure if I’ll enjoy it, but it was cheap enough to take the gamble. I’ll install it tonight and see if it tickles my fancy.

I’ve never heard of this game before, but I thought I’d try it out. Really enjoying it so far. Thanks for the recommendation!

No Mans Sky.

It’s horrible, more work than anything else.

mining crap to build crap that mines crap to build more crap.

Same issue I had with Ark, so tedious.

Play creative mode with No Man’s Sky if you don’t want the grind. You can just do whatever you want with unlimited resources.

I think that goes for most (if not all) survival / crafting games. No Man’s Sky is obviously both, with a healthy dose of exploration thrown in. I honestly don’t enjoy the crafting / mining all that much either and only focus on getting credits to buy larger ships so I can hoard more stuff to sell with less trips to vendors. I’ve never progressed that far though…

Yes, the credits are central. In my last play through, some person traded an item to me in a hub and I accepted. I then sold this item to the trade AI and suddenly I had 350 million credits. Suddenly I had no material reason to play anymore.

Finally started Control on PC after buying it in the Christmas sale last year… When the game started I thought I missed the first chaoter somehow as it opens with a lot of story.

The difficulty spikes in Ni No Kuni are getting to me. In the one area I’m in the enemies run away from me then the next story area the first group of enemies wipes my entire party.

It probably comes down to grinding levels for my familiars, I just wished it showed enemy levels so I know what my grinding target is.

I checked a guide to find out who are the best familiars for each party member but no I have to catch them and then start grinding from square one again.

Ya, the grind is real with this one… I remember how much post-game grinding I had to do to platinum the game. It was… time consuming.

Yeah I can see it’s gonna be a long grind. You get your familiar to a lekker level and then it evolves and you have to start grinding again. Eish.

That’s why I’m glad I’ve got it on a handheld system. I just put Netflix on and then I mindlessly grind while watching stuff. Two birds with one stone.

Nice :slight_smile:

I’m sure you’ve gotten the idea about feeding your familiars things they like? It’s been a long time since I played, I can’t recall much about the levelling system tbh

I finally got most of the recommended (got it from some post on Gamefaqs) familiars for my three party members so I will look into what treats they like and when to evolve them next. At first I was just winging it and fed them whatever and evolved as soon as they could, but I’ve learnt now that if I don’t want to hit a (very hard) wall I’d have to read and figure out how to “properly” go about things.

I am, at least, enjoying the game immensely so it doesn’t feel like I’m doing work when grinding

Finished? Forza horizon 4, very fun racing game, really scratched that racing game itch, a lot of cars, simple upgrading, fun races, and decent NPCs, there is a lot of DLC, like the Lego DLC, and a whole new map but it is not included in the ultimate game pass, so not going to bother buying them. Moving on to Gears of War ultimate edition, always wanted to play that game, also need to get the most out of the R15 for this sub this month.

Ergh, I am burning to play a new game, not much interests me though. I am hoping Mount and Blade: Bannerlord will come down in price or a really meaty special soon.

Enjoying so far. Decent.

I’m also at the point where nothing really interests me. I’ve been trying games in my library that has been laying there, but meh.
Maybe I’ll start the next character story in We Happy Few.
