Thread 717084563

How's your backlog? What are you playing (and what have you played) on your PCs?

Ah well. I'll try again next weekend. Take care everybody.

I've finally gotten around to picking up Intravenous 2 back up
I've been getting bloodlust ranking on every mission, mainly because I like to do a mix of stealth and loud. I'll usually start off quiet to thin out the number of enemies and set up traps like claymores outside rooms housing a shit ton of guards and then go loud and kill everyone.
Setting a claymore outside a room a bunch of guards are just chilling in, standing off to the side, and firing off a shot then watching them all get shredded by shrapnel the second they open the door to go investigate never gets old

>>717084563 (OP)
I need to replay these (backlog's getting larger just by time passing by and not playing much...)
This level was a highlight and this part was really funny.

>>717084563 (OP)
Forza

My backlog is just all the unplayed games in my library. Gonna play Wo Long next

>>717084563 (OP)
Man, as I get older, I find myself playing just my favorites, with a rare occasional play on some new ones that interest me.
I'm tired, and I just don't have the time anymore.
Company of Heroes 1 (no DLC) is fun

>>717086146
>and I just don't have the time anymore
I'm glad I'm not a normalfag

Ratchet and Clank 2 is running really well and it’s better than the first

>>717084563 (OP)
>How's your backlog?
Don't have one, just play what I feel like. Simple as.
>What are you playing
Persona 3 Reload and Rage Racer

>>717084563 (OP)
What are those shields on the bottom?

>>717086846
shields

Dragon is Dead
It's like Diablo + Blasphemous
Or well what I imagine Diablo is like since I've never played it. Just hold X to slash and pick up better gear to increase your damage per second.
I've played Grim Dawn and it was a hold X game and that's apparently Diablo. Haven't played Path of Exile.

But I say Blasphemous-like because I don't know what devs are inspired by anymore. Quite a few metroidvania devs on Steam have only played Hollow Knight... and apparently Cruelty Squad inspired a lot of people even though I never saw any originality in it so whatever

Overall I wouldn't say this is in my top 5 indies of 2025 because of the genre but it's pretty

Found this on archive.org

I'm playing Dungeon Keeper with Keeper FX installed and I'm on the level with the Avatar. The game is pretty fun overall, the only thing I think it could use is the ability to choose which creatures can walk through doors so you can safely let hounds and flies go outside your dungeon to die like a bitch exploring the map, blocking giants from your training room or making it so samurais and mistresses don't cross paths. 9/10 game, really unique.

My most played game recently has been Starfield. It doesn't connect with everyone, but I really enjoy it especially to chill and relax. If it's not Starfield it's my 500th playthrough of one of the two Portal games or Sonic Mania. Also I recently got Stranger of Paradise ("Jack's game") and I've been liking that too.

SOPFFO is great, perfect game for FF fans like me who can't be assed actually playing Nioh

I just played Hidden and Dangerous 2 which I really enjoyed. Are there other similar squad based tactical shooters that tend towards realism but aren't super autistic and more importantly don't forget the fun?

>>717086846
They are your hp.

>>717089362
I'm not very far in it since, by "recently" I mean I got it yesterday. From what I've played so far which is basically just the tutorial stuff, this is going to be really good. Also I was surprised the "My Way" song actually is in the game rather than just being a meme here or something for trailers. This game is going to be campy, it's going to play ridiculous things absolutely straight and it's going to be full of soul. I'm all for it.

>>717084563 (OP)
I'm finally going through Doom 2016.
It's pretty good.

>>717089247
Build separate chambers, like for reapers. Alternatively just dump unwanted creatures back into portals or slap them to death to turn into vampires.
And don't bother with converting samurai because they have more than 2 times the wage of mistresses while being like 10% stronger, and they don't get teleport. And their lightning is not quite as good as drain.
Giants are too damn slow for what they are.

>>717089958
The only tip I will give you is that your gear doesn't matter that much until you get into the DLCs, so if you don't feel like combing through hundreds of drops, you can just hit the "optimize equipment" button and will be fine

>>717089247
Also hellhounds help make vampires quicker, can sense enemies behind walls and walk through lava. If they are getting into trouble too often just dump them into a temple or whatever.

>>717084563 (OP)
I started a factorio playthrough.

>>717090574
>start Factorio
>first two research colors work great
>ok time to do the third color and optimize my factory a bit
>fail miserably
>quit
Every time. And yes I know I have enough space that I could just build again from scratch but I don't wanna

>>717090651
That's me with Satisfactory and oil. It goes too much into spaghetti and I just can't be fucked.

>>717084563 (OP)
Conservatively I've got 2 year's worth of backlog left, 40 games - less than 5 of them are big ones/RPGs too by my count. I'm gonna do it, only Silksong, Death Stranding 2 and Styx 3 are on my radar to jump the queue in the near future, plus whatever From does.

>>717090449
Sounds good to me. Thanks anon.

>>717084563 (OP)
I have gone through most classic FPS recently, I completed

Wolfenstein 3D and Spear of Destiny
Doom and all the official sequels, expansions and add ons including Final and 64
Quake Enhanced with all expansions
Heretic and Hexen, gave up on Hexen expansion because respawn was annoying
Outlaws, didn't bother with extra missions
Chasm the Rift
AvP classic
Uhreal and the expansion
Kingpin Life of Crime
Soldier of Fortune

I plan to play Quake 2 and all console versions, Build engine games, Hexen 2 and Powerslave Exhumed

Strife, SIN, Requiem Avenging Angel and Star Wars DF also look interesting

>>717092004
Any of them still worth playing?

>>717090651
Just try.
I managed until blue science. When that was done I just kinda had my fill and moved on to other genres.

Just take your time and have fun with it. Then you pull the switch and it feels so nice.

I separted all science btw. Than had all the separated science delivered by train to a reseasrch hub.
Worked superb.

>>717090651
Worst case scenario I think I have plenty of space to expand on the right. I think it will be just fine. The fun part is hitting obstacles.

Some of the games dumped in my HD, I play when I feel like it.

>>717094519
That's the way to do it. #Hoarder

>>717094829
Word.

>>717095034
I had a feeling it was gunna be slop when you said you were playing off a HD.

>>717095034
all shit

>>717095034
>DDA
You've waited too long because it sucks now. Also it's free, in case you didn't know. Like open source and all. All forks of Cataclysm are free.

>>717092004
its a bit weird but ill add redneck rampage to that

>>717089247
Infighting only happens if the opposing creatures cross paths in a lair. Pretty easy to build around with separate lairs.

>>717084563 (OP)
>Have near infinite amount of games
>Play all time favorite comfort games anyway
Playing Battle Brothers with Legends right now.

>>717095381
That is Bright Nights on the pic

>>717095759
As I've already told him he will also need separate hatcheries, treasuries and likely training rooms. Obviously with no common corridors. So like building separate chambers for reapers. But again, samurai aren't worth it. Knights maybe but then in that wage category dragons are better even without the WoP bug.

>>717095805
I do remember it having the same title screen but not this logo. I guess this was a post-Coolthulhu attempt but before whatever is the current one.

>>717095034
What launcher is that?
I see the Heroic logo, but I'm assuming Heroic itself doesn't slap the Heroic logo on every box art in its own grid view because that would be pretty redundant.

>>717095998
>will also need separate hatcheries, treasuries and likely training rooms
it's not necessary as long as the lairs are placed appropriately

I'm playing Underrail for the first time. It's fun.
>>717085432
Defeatist attitude, OP. Apply yourself.

>>717096186
I've had creatures fight even outside lairs so not sure what you mean. Maybe this was changed in some newer version but I replay the same as back when DK was new.

>>717096147
It's Heroic, it puts there to let you know the app is running direct through it and not on Steam or GOG

I've been NEETing since around new years so I've been crushing games all year. I've finished about 40 games since January 1st. it's been insanely comfy but I gotta go back to work soon, sadly

>>717096515
Same here brother, it's fun while it lasts.

>>717096501
Oh, weird. Thanks.

>>717096515
Good for you. I can hardly get into gaming ever since I got all this free time. Eighty percent of last month's games were duds, too.

>>717096247
>Defeatist attitude, OP. Apply yourself
The thread was on page 10 at the time with no replies. Just accepted it was going to get archived like other attempts. I came back about 10 minutes ago to see people actually taking part in the thread together and I'm just happy it caught and people are just hanging out.

>>717098046
just needed a bumparoo for a few dozen replies

Time to set up win 98 VM.

I don't even play on PC anymore. Steam Deck does 95% of my gaming.

>>717100079
Steam Deck is a PC.
A GNU/Linux PC.
