Nice to see another new thread ^_^
I'll just multitask between here and resetera I imagine

there is no requirement to post in here ... so, no pressure

It's also nice to see some others who are looking forward to Call of Cthulhu, it's going under the radar it seems.

under the radar? damn, i hope not ... all the preview videos make it look soooooo cool!

and then there's also The Sinking City!

 

[Knurek]

Dragon Quest on desktop and Umineko on Win 2 are all I have the time for now, Steam-wise.
Both are behemoth games too, but hopefully I'll manage to finish at least one of them this year.

[Jawmuncher]

I’ve been thinking of getting a new PC or changing up my setup. Just wanna change it up.

 

[lashman]

gotta get ready for that Dino Crisis Remake we're getting in 2020

It can even emulate Dino Crisis!

Now this is something I might need to consider. Especially with all the non-heavy indie fare I’ve been playing.

How are the .Hack games? They are on sale on Steam right now. Are they visual novels, and are they any good?

The games are actually action RPGs, where you play a game within a game that emulates a MMORPG.
I barely played them so far, so I'm not the right person to judge their quality, but when they were originally released, they were well received.

This recent re-release currently available on Steam collects 3 games that were previously released on PS2, and a brand new chapter, so it should be a rather "meaty" experience, in terms of content.

Do note that Humble also has it on sale, so if you want to buy it, it's probably cheaper over there:
Buy .hack//G.U. Last Recode from the Humble Store

Thanks, guess I'll pick them up. They are way cheaper on Steam in my country, at 60% off they cost less than $6.

That is a pretty good price, especially considering each of the first 3 games should take you at least 20-30 hours each.

Jawie

Maybe wait for the amd cpus next year ?

 

[Knurek]

Oh my, that Polygon Valve Sucks article.
Almost too scared to open the ERA thread.

 

[roboleon]

Toddles, everybody!

 

[RionaaM]

Oh my, that Polygon Valve Sucks article.
Almost too scared to open the ERA thread.

The article in a nutshell: fuck poor people.

Also, why my game doesn't get preferential treatment?

And maybe one random good point drowning an ocean of bad opinions, like the stuff about support.

 

[Jawmuncher]

I just realized I haven’t played Dark Souls 3 yet. Think I’ll jump on that after what I’m playing. I stopped because I had stuttering but surely that’ll be fixed by now.

 

[Tizoc]

My body is ready for Hitman 2

AND SO ARE MY EXPLOSIVES

yeah, they released quite a few updates after the launch ... so it might be fixed now ... worth giving it a shot

I keep getting these two confused. Sinking City is from the Sherlock Holmes guys, right?

 

[AHA-Lambda]

Yeah if I remember correctly Sinking City is the Sherlock devs and Call of Cthulhu is the Styx devs

 

[lashman]

Yeah if I remember correctly Sinking City is the Sherlock devs and Call of Cthulhu is the Styx devs

yes, correct

and both of those games look REALLY cool

 

[bobnowhere]

And there's that one coming set during the Black Death and another set on an island set around the 1700-1800s with magical nativist monsters and such. Crazy time for AA RPGs.

[Yakkue]

Greedfall from Spiders.

 

[lashman]

Greedfall from Spiders.

ohhhhhhhh, right ... damn, i completely forgot about this game, lol ... but yes, absolutely looking forward to it as well (even though the gameplay looks kinda/sorta janky, but then again - it's Spiders )

 

[Le Pertti]

So what is everyones GOTY thus far?

 

[lashman]

SoulCalibur VI ... without a doubt!

Haha! Yeah wow that is amazing. Haven't been following SC6 at all, did love the first one on Dreamcast though.

 

[Mor]

Ok, well, right now I'm playing like 2 games at the same time.

Yakuza 0 - my third run, this time on PC, right now at chapter 7 (not even half of the game yet), still one of my favorite games of this generation and possibly the best one of this saga.

Assassin's Creed: Syndicate - well, two years ago I said I would play from beginning to end all the AC games and here I am, Syndicate, Origins and Odyssey remain, I'm liking it, so far it's been a great experience although I'm just at sequence 4 of 9 but still, I'm having fun and that's the important thing.

I think I have material for some time haha

 

[lashman]

Haha! Yeah wow that is amazing. Haven't been following SC6 at all, did love the first one on Dreamcast though.

yeah, i've been playing it for like 2h now ... and it's REALLY good!

it's clearly a much lower budget game than Tekken 7 ... but it still looks and plays amazing! ... and that character creator
i really do hope it sells well enough to get a second season pass with more characters like T7 ... both series deserve more stuff!

 

[Yakkue]

hmmm ... how about ... this:


(it's from the dev of Pony Island)

Thanks, I'll put that on my wishlist! Right now I want to play something from my backlog though, I still have so many great games left unplayed..

So what is everyones GOTY thus far?

Would have to be DQXI for me, I had so much fun with this game. Even just looking at the enemy animations in the beginning was great.

 

[Knurek]

So what is everyones GOTY thus far?

Out of games I've played this year:
Chaos;Child
Yakuza 0
Titanfall 2
Push
Dragon Quest XI
Umineko Answers Arc

Some of them might not be 2018.

 

[Le Pertti]

Mine is Pillars of Eternity 2 closely followed by DeadCells. Haven't played that much this year so not sure I will even get a top 5. Still have BattleTech to play, but honestly little scared by it so haven't even started it yet.XD

 

[lashman]

Still have BattleTech to play, but honestly little scared by it so haven't even started it yet.XD

... and it just got a season pass too, like yesterday

 

[bobnowhere]

So what is everyones GOTY thus far?

Subnautica
Battletech
Gnog

God of War - PS4

 

[Mor]

So what is everyones GOTY thus far?

Sethian is by far the game I have enjoyed the most, so yeah, that one will take my GOTY.

 

[lashman]

Gnog

ohh, i actually finished Gnog when they finally released it on steam ... such a fun little game
really, really easy, barely any challenge ... but still fun to play

 

[Mor]

Now that we are talking about games we are recommending or we liked, why don't you participate in here?
One day, One game thread

 

[Mivey]

Great work on the OP, lashman
And it's sad seeing so many new games, when it will take me months just to keep up with stuff I'm currently busy with. #TooManyGames

 

[FeedMeAStrayCat]

I'm currently playing:

DQ11 - roughly 13ish hours in, quite enjoying it
Grim Dawn - roughly 6ish hours in, also quite enjoying it (scratching that Diablo 3 itch)
Ass Creed Odyssey - roughly 10ish hours in, using the free Google Project Stream thing to play it, also quite enjoying it! lol

 

[Ex-User (119)]

Edge of eternity launches to early access next month looks really good.

Wolcen also just got its first big early access update for content etc.

Thanks for the heads-up.
