eventide11 Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 For me it's Armored Core 6. Blown away by how much I'm enjoying this game. I haven't enjoyed an AC since the PS2 days. BG3, SMRPG, and a handful of other games took a hard back seat to this. What's everyone else getting into? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CastlevaniaNut18 Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 I bought Dredge on a sale and I've played it the most since I got it. Was great playing it on my Steam Deck while visiting my family for Christmas. I wasn't even aware of the game and it came out of nowhere to be one of my favorite titles in an already stacked year. Who'd have thought? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who'd have thought? That just happened with me with Lil Gator on deck! I beat that and I’m playing Starfield now but out of my Christmas haul stuff I’m starting to play some Persona 5 Royal as well and just checking out all the other stuff still. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stepee Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 @CastlevaniaNut18 have you seen Lil Gator game? It’s wonderful on deck (switch version has perf issues) and seems like something you might like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crispy4000 Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 Only got Mario Rabbids 2 for Christmas itself. But I did pick up Tinykin in December and put in a bit of time there. As with Castle of Illusion in November. For other pickups, I’ll be getting to Crisis Core and Jedi Survivor next year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chakoo Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 Less a single game and just spending time with my Analogue Duo playing my PC-E collection (getting to finally go through a bunch of my recent pickups from a few months back). I have not started but will at the start of the new year is Rain Code on switch to continue on with my Danganronpa obsession from this year (Still kind of pissed I haven't finished V3 due to one stupid point at the end of the game, I'm borderline ready to buy the vita version and replay the game). -edit- Oh also playing Mystic Warriors on switch.

stepee Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 I haven’t started it yet but John from DigitalFoundry’s goty pick video did push me to where I had to at least try Armored Core 6 so I did buy it last night. But also I checked first and saw there is an easy mode mod I can put in if I can’t cut it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyser_Soze Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 @best3444 I can elaborate I suppose What is the hardest part of a souls game? Making a mistake and losing all your stuff and starting from the beginning? Well that is certainly not in Armored Core. In fact this game is more forgiving than previous armored core games in that manner since you have like three lives or something if you die and you don't start the level over you start from where you left off. You're in a giant AC you're not a human so you have long distance weapons such as missiles and you're very mobile and can FLY - You can't really do anything like this in a Souls game. As I said earlier the first boss is kind of a puzzle, but once you figure out what to do it's not too hard. And from what I hear it plays out like a normal AC game after that. (Normal AC games are not hard in fact the biggest barrier of entry for a lot of people was 1.) The controls 2.) All the customization stuff - The customization stuff is here but the game controls probably the best an AC game has ever controlled.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
