Been obsessed with this game called Subnautica and been tearing it up on my PC. They got it for the consoles if any of you are interested but I prefer PC. Basically you crash land on an alien planet that is mostly covered in water and you have to survive. You get future tech and farming for materials let’s you build other things. You also gotta look out for fish that will kill you. Even got different leviathans that can not only kill you but destroy your ships. It’s a pretty cool game and thought that a few of you guys might enjoy it. It’s especially trippy if any of you smoke  

 

Any of you guys got any game suggestions or any games you are playing currently? I’m off work until Monday so I got nothing but time this weekend 🫡

That's what I am talking about.

 

Subnautica is supposed to be a great game and I have not heard anything negative from it. My brother and his wife both have played it and have given it high recommendations, although I have so far resisted playing it.

 

I recently played disco Elysium and that has moved into my top 10 games of all time.

I am currently traveling and am playing the cult of the lamb on the switch. It is a unique game that is pretty good. I was hoping for more humor though given the premise.

My current multiplayer games are gran Turismo 7 with a wheel/pedals, Fortnite with a college buddy once a week, and call of duty zombies with my neighbor/fishing buddy once a week.

I have beaten it on emperor a few different ways, immortal once in a science victory as the Korean's(kind of a cheap win) and could not come close to a diety win which led me to give up.

I also was not a huge fan of the dark age/golden age and prefer the base game. I have a solid amount of time into it, but have not played much the last few years.

 

What are your current goals in the game?

[DonS 3,241]

Currently playing Horizon Forbidden West.  Next on my list is the PS5 remake of Last of Us which comes out in a couple weeks.

I have been playing as Mansa Musa lately, and try to earn as much faith as possible.  Since he already can build commercial district buildings with faith, I also try to get Jesuit Education, so I can also build campus and theater Square district buildings with faith as well.  Then also try to become Suzerian of Valletta to also build walls and stuff with faith. Then finally get a golden age and choose the option that allows you to buy Setlers, builders and traders with faith.

If you are using faith for all of that you are probably not going for a religious victory, which way are you trying to win?

Pretty cool but they completely omit probably the most important aspect of trucking.

Anyone know of any good multiplayer games that you all play? I’m trying to get multiplayer games to play with others like yous guys 

[Hawkeye21 2,216]

I haven’t played any console or PC games since it’s in months. I play Retro Bowl on my phone a lot while watching TV.

Don't starve together is my favorite multiplayer game of all time if you have a good friend to learn the game with. It is a survival game like Subnautica, although you an your friend should play on steam.

It has a very steep learning curve and that to me is the fun of the game.

 

The new TMNT game is fun to play on the couch with some friends and it is available on PlayStation, switch, or Xbox.

Honorable mention to overcooked.

I might have to try the new TMNT game. Been looking for a good multiplayer game. Don’t have a console though. I only have a PC. Last console I had was PlayStation 3. Ever since I built this PC I haven’t touched any other gaming console lol 

[GobbleDog 918]

I rarely buy new games, but when I do I play it for years.... still play Battlefield 1 released in 2016. And Crusader Kings III which is pretty old.

In any case, recently found a new game that I'm very interested in.... UBOAT, released August 2024. Only $30. Videos look pretty cool.

Saw a bit of the graphics on that.  Incredible

I decided to replay Red Dead Redemption 2. 

I forgot how relaxing it is to just ride around looking for animals to hunt or to do countless other random things.

That's an all time great game.

It sounds dumb but I still really enjoy playing Minecraft on my PC.  There are a lot of modpacks are very fun.

You should check out Subnautica.  Very cool underwater exploration / resource management / construction game.

Edit: yep.  All platforms

 I have twenty plus PS2 games I found in a box I kept after my divorce. Have really fun ones but couldn’t play as I didn’t have a PS2 anymore. So I bought one on eBay. It looks like it has never been used. Once I got it going I popped in Madden 2001. Eddie George is on the cover. I laughed. But my favorite is Manhunt by Rock Star. It’s intense, funny, gory, and hard. No cheats. I had more fun playing that game than any ever. A friend gave me half an 8-ball one night and said he didn’t want it. Went home and the family was asleep, so sniffing and play.

I loved that game!!!! Some brutal finishing moves.

IIRC one of the voice actors was Brian Cox from Succession.
