Question of the week:
What are you anticipating for the TGA this year?
and
What are you anticipating for 2025?
Okay, cheers I’m sure a lot of you have had a hard week, but take heart, and just enjoy yourselves here!
A lot of RDR2 recently. The Gang’s dynamics are really pretty fun and the gameplay feels like the perfect evolution of the Red Dead Series. I really love how they brought back the San Andreas game mechanic of gaining weight and losing weight and I especially like that a Chubby Arthur can sponge up bullets better than a skinny Arthur
Agreeed!
I’m currently doing a Evil and a Good playthrough, that being said, both of them are at maximum weight and have gigantic facial hair😂they both also rarely bathe so idk maybe my ideal Arthur is an anarchist which vaguely makes sense for his character, not explicitly tho
Awesome, good luck, fam
Just got done with the story of Arkham Asylum. Working on the challenges now! Though, I see I’m not as good at combat as I thought lol. At least the stealth challenges were a cakewalk!
Probably going to start up Arkham City once I’m done and keep this ball rolling.
Yeah, awesome
Hell yea! Can’t wait until you get to Arkham Knight. I did a full Arkham (minus Arkham Origins, the red-headed stepchild of the series) a month ago just in time to finish around Halloween, and it was even better than I remembered, it’s extremely rewarding to play on the hardest difficulty, if you’ve beaten it before try the New Game + with Knightmare difficulty, it’s honestly not as hard as it sounds and makes you feel so much more badass throwing enemies and doing Never Shot Never Seen Stealth segments
Tagging more that were here last time:

Okay, that’s all, cheers.
See the above OP. Read it. Memorize it. Love it.
…Err, answer it?
Spoiler that shit. It’s long.
Gamers rise up
Pikmin rise up
Replaying Sniper Elite 5 (again)
About to start Dishonored (again) after getting a free copy from Amazon@Makan I was playing Drova an Indie game that people were calling " 2D Gothic" I’m liking it so far.
What video games have you played recently?
Mainly Pokémon. I never really played any of the official games, only some browser one when I was a kid. I don’t know why I suddenly felt the urge to play it, but it’s cool, I’m enjoying it. I just defeated the Elite 4 in Fire Red, all that’s left is the post game content, I think.
I’m also playing PokéRogue, which is pretty fun and PokéMMO with a friend, though we’re only 4 badges in on Kanto.
Other than that I’m occasionally playing Isaac, Balatro and For the King.
What are you anticipating for the TGA this year?
and
What are you anticipating for 2025?
I haven’t kept up with recent game announcements so I don’t really know what to expect or anticipate.
The only exception is an indie called .45 Parabellum Bloodhound. This game’s trailer hooked me in instantly, I’m really excited to play it when it releases.
Here’s the trailer if anyone is interested. Also, the music fucking slaps.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
PokéMMO?
Pretty soon, Nintendo will have its own MMO by all accounts.
PokéMMO?
It’s a MMO that uses the original ROMs from gen 3 up to gen 5 provided by the players themselves. It’s pretty cool to see that type of stuff.
Honestly I don’t see Nintendo doing a MMO, but I would like to see how it goes, lol.
PokéRogue looks interesting, I’ll have to try that out at some point. There’s another fun Pokémon roguelite that’s a hack of Emerald that I had a good time with, you might like that one too. https://www.pokecommunity.com/threads/pokemon-emerald-rogue.479406/
.45 Parabellum Bloodhound looks really cool too! Did you ever play Parasite Eve? The combat looks like it’s very inspired by that game.
Give it a try it’s super fun! I heard of the roguelite romhack of Emerald, I’ll definitely take a look after I play Emerald for the first time. Thanks for the link to it.
Did you ever play Parasite Eve?
I never played it. I always heard about it, but never really looked into it.
Good thing piracy exists, cause I just downloaded the first and the second Parasite Eve games :3
Nice, I hope you enjoy them! I’ve never played 2, I’ve heard it’s pretty different from the first game.
Just finished Selaco, can highly recommend if you’re into retro shooters. Absolutely blown away with what they managed to do with GZDoom engine too. Currently, giving Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor a shot. It’s sort of like mobile tower defence. A fun game to pick up and pass a bit of time. Also playing Jedi Survivor, it’s a pretty solid adventure game.
My favorite genres tend to be story based games like Detroit Become Human, or Roguelikes. I find I don’t have a huge amount of time for games nowadays, so I prefer stuff that’s not grindy that I can just pick up and play without having to remember how the game works. :)
And negative on TGA.
Looking forward to new Mass Effect, but not sure if it’s coming out in 2025 or not.
I’m also playing Star Wars Jedi Survivor. Half-way through. On Jedha.
Oh I just got to Jedha. It’s a good game. The action is pretty fun, and the story is pretty solid so far.
Yeah, I feel for Cal. I also just got to Jedha. Met Merrin, in fact.
I finished Resident Evil 2’s Leon campaign for halloween and now I’m between games. I might finally start Red Dead Redemption 2 this weekend.
Red Dead Redemption 2 is better than the first one.
Red dead redemption 2 was breathtaking and sublime
I wish very often that I could replay this game for the first time.
I’ve replayed it, of course, but that first playthrough? Magic.
It’s great! Better than even the first one. My friend played the first one recently for the first time and fae said that it paled in comparison to the second one, which she played initially.
Yes, agreed it is way better than the first one, which I played on PS3. It’s a good game in its own right, but it does not hold a candle to the sequel.
Also: $50 for a PC port of a 15 year old game is highway robbery.
That’s practically train theft!
Ghost of Tsushima on steam deck, baldurs gate 3 on the big rig. Balatro on the phone. All three games are so very fun.
Okay, done.
See the above OP.
I’ve been on a Warframe kick. I need to get back to playing Resident Evil IV, but just haven’t been in the mood.
My favorite genre is probably first-person anything, though I have to usually settle for third-person. I also like strategy and puzzle games.
I’m anticipating Warframe 1999, but that’s not coming out in 2025. I think. Idk, I don’t keep up with stuff.
Keep out the look-out for Soulframe.
Oh, looks interesting. I’ll keep an eye out.
I always come back to Warframe in spurts, I would like to play it again but just got so much on my list.
Soulframe NDAs are lifted now, so can say I enjoyed the time I put into that. It is a really visually striking game, but way slower paced than warframe.
Okay, last one.
Cheers!
See the OP and answer it, if you want.
Thanks for participating all those that were in the last thread of its kind.
I’m just pinging everyone from there as I usually do.
I was playing gta iv before my hand got injuried
OOF
How much and how soon will it recover?
I don’t know how long it seems to be healing on it’s own. I also have a sprained foot and conjectvitus in my eyes I never get a damn break !
Damn, that fucking sucks. I have an astygmatism in my eye that’s very bad and never stops bothering me.
Traveling for work so mostly just Slay the spire. Up to ascension 5 now.
Not really looking forward to TGA, specially since I don’t really care for AAA games. I’ll just watch any interesting trailers after, the show itself is unwatchable.
Hades 2 has made me realize that I’m not good at Rogue-lite games. I finished the original Far Cry (meh). I intend to play far cry 4 and maybe 5.
I unironically loved Far Cry 3 and Far Cry 4.
I’m playing Final Fantasy 15 A New Empire. It’s a shitty kingdom-building mobile game with guilds and sieges and endless timers. It’s got nothing to do with FFXV, but in my headcanon this is what Noctis was doing during the timeskip.
If anyone knows where to download either King’s Knight or War for Eos, then I’m all ears! I want to play everything related to FFXV out there.
Awesome! What do you think of Final Fantasy XVI?
And do you play the MMO Final Fantasy XIV?
I haven’t played either of them. Funny thing is, I didn’t even know 15 existed until I heard news about 16. So apparently not many people like the game as much as I do.
Ah, so you haven’t played any of the two.
Well, Final Fantasy XIV has the best story, apparently (well, for an MMO, anyway). And people liked Final Fantasy XVI, but thought it felt too much like Game of Thrones (which is a show I don’t like anyway, but love A Song of Ice and Fire, the book series that it’s based off of).
There’s also Final Fantasy VII Remake as well, which people apparently like, at least the first part. Not sure how the second one was received, but honestly? Gamers like to complain. And Final Fantasy fans apparently like to complain especially.
Very true. I’ve seen a lot complaints about how the remake has changed the story but I think if was kept the same, we’d be hearing complaints about how it’s a soulless repeat instead. Personally, I think it’s an interesting subversion of expectations and I like how Sephiroth makes more use of his dick ghosts (which WERE in the original too). I’m looking forward to the new ending and I hope it’s as memorable as crisis core.
Hell yeah! You’ve played it then?
I’ve watched a full playthrough of the first part. I have the game and could play it myself too right now but I don’t feel like it. I’m more interested in ffxv slop at the moment
Slop can be good, tbh.
Enjoy!
