General Gaming ~*D1P's Games of 2019*~

[SFLUFAN 16,244]

Now that the calendar has rolled over to 2019, it's time to post our usual thread where we talk about what games in 2019 we're current playing, have completed, what we thought of 'em, etc.  Remember that it's not necessary for the game to actually be released in 2019!

 

I'm going to pick up where I left off in December by completing Metro: Last Light Redux as my first game of 2019.

I'm still playing PUBG, Ass. Creed Origins and Mutant Zero mostly.  Also started The Surge. Hoping to put Ass. Creed down soon and start Odyssey.

Recently purchased Rainbox Six Siege and have been diving into it. It has a steep learning curve. Also need to finish up the last bits of the Spider-Man DLC.

The Surge is actually great and I suggest really engaging with its systems instead of going for the seemingly easier "play like Dark Souls". There are some really cool ideas in there. 

 

It's not perfect but I thought it was a really cool AA type title and the dismemberment mechanic never gets old.

I'm a few hours into God Of War (2018)...obviously since I made a thread about it. 

 

Finally playing after buying the damn Pro bundle when it came out  

[TheLeon 3,661]

Aside from my usual stuff, I'm trying to dig through some Game Pass/PS+ stuff. I'm just an hour or two into Recore. It's a pleasant enough game, but I don't see myself sticking with it for long. 

[crispy4000 391]

Finishing up Celeste on Switch since I’m traveling.

[RedSoxFan9 4,403]

Pokemon Let's Go Pikachu

SSBU

The Surge

RDR2

[Nokt 267]

Been poking around in Borderland 2, I always start it up and play a few hours just to uninstall and let it sit for a year or two.

Played a good chunk of Smash yesterday, probably 2/3 done with the story mode.

 

Trying to keep most of my schedule clear for KHIII. I should actually put in for the day off now that I think about it.

[dualhunter 246]

I finished Katamari Damacy REROLL but I'm going for 100% item completion. I finished Mega Man 9, 10 & 11 in the last few days of 2018 so I might go back and play them again. I was waiting for the 1TB SSD I ordered to arrive before installing Dragon Quest XI so other than completionist stuff and replays that'll probably be the next game I play.

Siege is one of those games that has been quietly brilliant for a long time. They have done a great job refreshing old content with frequent map reworks. It is frustrating how much down time there is in the game though.

 

I've got quite the list of games to play since the steam sale. Currently I'm playing Wandersong which is a charming game somewhat similar in themes to Undertale. I will say that for a game about singing there is very little music and most of it sucks.

[Enlityn 54]

I've been jamming with some Pyre. Should be done soon! Also hollow knight which is also terrific, but that's going to have to sit until Pyre is shut down. 

[EternallDarkness 589]

can't believe it but I actually picked up Smash Bros and am actually enjoying it. 

[CastlevaniaNut18 3,662]

I really need to get back into gaming. Gonna start with AC Odyssey, I'm only about 10 hours into it. 

[Hurdyb1 1,155]

Current rotation is:

CoD Black Ops 3

NBA2k19

Legend of Dragoon 

 

I've decided that I need to beat a GTA game finally but I won't buy GTAV until I beat San Andreas which I bought months ago on my PS4.

[Enlityn 54]

[SFLUFAN 16,244]

I decided to start the year with something more light-hearted than Metro: Last Light Redux

 

So, I'm playing the Monty Python-inspired point n' click adventure Four Last Things

[Slug 1,499]

Looking forward to finishing Octopath Traveler and finally starting Nioh.

I've actually played a lot for myself in a little over a month. I think I'm trying Yakuza Kiwami next.

[CastlevaniaNut18 3,662]

Husband and I just beat Resident Evil 5 and the DLC. Both DLCs were pretty underwhelming, but we had a fun time playing through it all co-op. Much better than solo.

[Remarkableriots 1,212]

[Keyser_Soze 8,500]

I beat Celeste. Took like 12 hours, last level was hard. I got like 100 strawberries. Maybe I'll try to get the others at some point.

[Bloodporne 953]

My REMake2 addiction is only rivaled by my DMC5 Demo lust.

[skillzdadirecta 4,312]

I beat Mutant Zero last week. Currently playing Ass. Creed Odyssey,  Anthem and the Spiderman DLC mostly. Also working in some PUBG and Apex for my BR fix. I also started up playthroughs in RE7 ( finally) and Zombi for some reason although given that I only tend to play those types if games at night and I spend most nights at my girl's,  no telling when I'm gonna get to finish either one

[ShreddieMercuryRising 65]

I beat Resident Evil 2 on Standard with the Leon A and Claire B scenarios.  I've now started a Hardcore run with Claire A, and will then do Leon B.  It's a completely brilliant game, and probably the best RE game that I've played (between REmake, RE 4, and RE 7).  The puzzles and exploration I found to be perfect, and just obtuse enough to make you think while not being so inscrutable as to require the help of tips or a guide.  I don't typically like metroidvania games because I get lost easily and can't recall exactly where I need to go or what to use.  RE 2 on the other hand includes some metroidvania elements, but makes use of an ingenious map system and a relatively small environment to keep forward momentum near-constant.  I only got stuck once, but figured it out quickly with a glance through my items and a peak at the map.  I think it's the ultimate expression of what RE has always striven to be.  My only criticism is that the Sewer environment is not nearly as interesting at the Police Station, but I still quite enjoy the campy, over-the-top horror vibe of the last third of the game.

 

I bought Metro Exodus yesterday, and am really excited to start playing it.  I haven't played any previous Metro games, but I've read really great things about them, and the comparisons to Wolfenstein have gotten me very excited to dive into that world.

Kingdom Hearts 3 - 7/10 - Cutscene. Fight. Cutscene. Fight. Rinse. Repeat. Underneath the never ending cutscenes is a fun game with terrific fan service.

Mostly how I feel about it. So. Many. Cutscenes.

Still haven't finished it though, it got pushed back by Metro and Apex.

It is suffocating at times. When the game is allowed to breathe, it is really fun to play. 

 

Spoiler

I especially liked the Pirates world even though Captain Jack was creepy as hell. The variety of gameplay (ship, race, underwater) and the ability to explore islands were excellent. And the story didn’t feel that suffocating and actually tied into the movie well since it was about Davey’s Heart

 

[ManUtdRedDevils 1,122]

Far Cry: New Dawn - 4/10 - This game was a 6 until the last boss fight which is one of the worst, frustrating fights I can remember in a game.  The spike of difficulty is bonkers. 

[XxEvil AshxX 671]

Current rotation:

 

Ass Creed Origins

Ass Creed Odyssey

Final Fantasy 13

Resident Evil 2 B Scenario

Conan Exiles

Crackdown 3

A few other random Game Pass titles

I've been wanting to get back into Exiles... you playing on X1X?

[VKPButcher 46]

2 main games for me at the moment from last year, RDR2 and DQXI. Try and put time into those when work/life allow but it's been a little slow going. Probably will be even slower now that I've hopped back into Warframe to check out Fortuna and last week's addition of a completely revamped alert/challenge system.
