mega thread What game are you playing right now?

[Cash In 22,230]

I've been replaying Sonic Mania on Switch. I still think it's a well made game and I'm really appreciating the more creative aspects of it. Superstars will have some pretty big shoes to fill.

I play Squad.
Good tactical shooter

Trackmania 2 Stadium, just checking up on some old records on the campaign and I'm surprised I'm still at #1 NC overall because my driving so many years ago was not great. Plus, I was playing on a laptop that barely met the minimum specs so I was at really low graphics settings running at an unstable 20 - 40 FPS 

On individual tracks, I'm still on top 10 at least and some times are closer than others. I've been going through and improving some of those times.

Also I really enjoy the total points I have

Star Wars:  The Old Republic

Gotta finish off the Nova Blades  

[Steve Piranha 29,419]

None. Just finished Mega Man X5, and X8 is the next and final game in Legacy X Collection, but I won’t start it this late. I may leave it for next week, or maybe in a morning before work, provided I ain’t too busy

I started playing Starfield last night through early access and I'm pretty mixed on it so far. I'm only about 2 hours in though so we'll see how I feel further in. My biggest complaint so far is that the game feels very dependent on fast travel. You can't just organically travel to places like you could in past Bethesda games or even in similar space sims like No Man's Sky. You can only go to planets, their surfaces, and planetary systems through the fast travel menu.

I was considering buying this game, but I'm still in the middle. I'm hoping it will go on sale during the Steam Fall sale, but it's much too soon XD

It's on GamePass if you have that! I'm still pretty mixed on it. Putting aside how bad it runs for me, I just hate how much it forces fast travel on you. And the exploration of planets that aren't prefilled with settlements just feels kind of pointless. They all look pretty similar, and there's no like vehicle to drive around when you land so instead you're just walking for like 10 minutes across empty landscape with no animals or interesting flora just to mine whatever resources the planet might have. My hope is Bethesda kinda fills out that aspect of the game as time goes on but... This is Bethesda we're talking about.

No, I don't have it. I only have Steam to play it on. I'm just hearing mixed things in general. I may wait for a sale. I heard No Man's Sky is on sale and that sounds similar to this game. I may try that one.

I started a replay of Subnautica for the first time after beating it 2 years ago. Despite knowing about all the scary stuff and secrets the game is still insanely tense and terrifying to play. I physically jumped and let out a scream when I realized I was getting too close to the Aurora and heard a leviathan scream in the background. I swear man, it’s scarier than most horror games.

I bought a whole bunch of games for my steam deck and got an xbox controller for my pc. I am planning to get a whole lot of nothing done for the first time in a while pretty soon.

Some of the games I bought on Steam: Yazuka 0, Borderlands 3, Read Dead 2, Cyberpunk 2077, and I forgot what else that was on sale.

I'm planning to get Starfield, Elden Ring, Hi-Fi Rush, and several others around the Steam Fall sale.

Change of plan. the new update for the DLC made couple trophys unobtainable as of right now. So instead i picked another game(That i also finished on ps4 before) that i already started on ps5 and continue there for the time beeing, Horizon Forbidden West, either until CP77 trophys are fixed or the MGS Master Collection releases.

Is it the original 2005 Battlefront II or the 2017 EA title?  

Squadrons and Jedi Survivor are the latest to come out.

Got finished with the Ruins of Nul flashpoint in Star Wars:  The Old Republic.  Didn't expect,

Darth Malgus to go Sonic the Hedgehog with force speed  

Now moving onto Ruhnuk and a clash of bounty hunters.  

[Iforgotmybrain 5,537]

Equestria at War, my favorite visual novel/strategy game mod, just released an update that gives a ton of content to Kiria/Kirins. So I'm probably going to end up losing dozens of hours of my life playing that for the next month. I'll also have to resist the temptation to replay Posada's content and then write another FiMFic involving her...

Mega Man X8. I’ve been itching to play this game for years . By the way, I’ve killed Sludge once out of three in this playthrough

Ah yes, the unfortunate finale in the X series.  I think they made Axl more playable in that one  

Little off topic, songs from the A Perfect Circle covers album Emotive are playing in my head now

Funnily enough, only X was viable in X7. Axl was the second worst because X outshine him in every way, and Zero’s range was even shorter. His delayed and gimmicky air attack, and the ass camera didn’t do him any favors .

X8 X still outshines the others due to his armors as ever, but none of them outshines anyone otherwise. Axl may be weaker and can take less damage, but he got his own niche by firing in all directions and higher mobility. And Zero plays as good as X4 through X6. Point is, you can comfortably play with anyone and you won’t ever feel like you made a bad choice

Trying to finish my Baldur's Gate 3 run. Stuck on act 3, since it's sooooooo long. 

[Jackleberry 1,921]

Doing a throwback playthrough in Rimworld, where I return to my "original" seed/map and semi-faithfully recreate my old base from back then. I'm also limiting myself to only 100 mods, which is a lot more difficult than it sounds when you're a mod addict like myself. <.<
