General Gaming Megathread: What are you playing?

I've come to appreciate PoE more after playing through BG3.
It's rough around the edges and clunky in more than one instance, but has great depth for an RPG, both in gameplay and themes.

That being said, I recall White March part II being kinda meh.

I have yet to play BG3, but that's great to hear.
So far, I've enjoyed the depth of different cultures in Poe. The premise of Hollowborn and the general theme struck a cord with me.

BG3 is far suprerior in terms of combat and obvious technical advancements, but has a lot more simpler and straightforward story. It's more BG simply put, while PoE has shades of PST on it.

That being said, PoE kinda overstays its welcome at some point, with its somewhat uneven/slow pacing and occasional unnecessary walls of text.
Also I found those backer NPCs, although a minor detail, to be very annoying.

I agree! I stopped reading the backer-npcs after I left Gilded vale, they add nothing. Thankfully a lot of the reading is optional, as you said, too many walls of texts.
 
Started an Extreme playthrough in Terminator Resistance. Learned quickly that the game has a mechanic to avoid one shots, one shots from enemy weapons anyway. Yes, everything deals insane amounts of damage, even the weakest enemies.
 
Finished my Extreme playthrough. I thought it would be harder, but i guess the mechanic i mentioned above helps the difficulty feel a bit easier. You'll still get shredded very quickly if you are out in the open for like two seconds, specially against Terminators (they are hyper accurate and shoot like madmen). But overall, i still really like this game, and i think i like it even more than i did after my first playthrough last year.

But really all this game did was make me want to rewatch Terminator 1 and 2.

Did you see that they released a new patch yesterday because the ten year anniversary? And they will add a turnbased mode later this year. That even makes me want to replay PoE and finally complete the White Marsch.
 
Yeah, I was surprised to see that the other day. Hopefully, they also fixed the issue with stronghold visitors not showing up, tis annoying. I haven't played the game in a week, bit burned out after almost 60 hours nonstop.

Rewatched Terminator 1, it's kind of astounding how well the Terminator Resistance game gets the future war shown in that movie. And the movie shows like five minutes of it at most, but yet the devs with a shoestring budget managed to capture the feeling of it quite well. They even managed to make the new music sound like it belong in the first movie, with the same synths and drum machines.

A team known for one of the worst games of all time (the 2014 Rambo videogame) managed to make a Terminator game that respects the license and captures the feel of it, all with a budget for a single potato. Definitely tells something about the AAA scene when even with the budget to finance a small country, they still fail quite often to do what this team with this game. Shows what happens when people just give a bit of a shit.

Now i want to replay the Robocop game they made (which is even better, a genuinely fantastic game), but i might just do that when the upcoming expansion comes out this summer. Do a full playthrough of the game.
