cycosynner: Sputnik Gaming

Avagantamos 06.20.24	mainly a fan of fantasy rpgs
BAT 06.20.24	honestly fell out of gaming between like 2014-2022 [aside from some drunken fortnite/overwatch when those weren't run into the ground]. my brother gifted me a ps4 and i've been playing catchup on all the stuff i've missed, buuut i still haven't gotten back into any multiplayer stuff mostly just solo shit. buuut been on like a 2 year long survival horror kick, damn near played through every resident evil/evil within/buncha indies like signalis[probably gonna pick up crow county and looking forward to sh2 remake.] other than that been fuckin heavy with the og castlevanias/megaman, hack and slash stuff like GoW/dmc, and slowly getting back into jrpgs[most recently beat the ff7 remake, i've only played the original dozen/14 so probably going to play like 13 or 15 next. also gotta continue my persona 5 save/star ocean.] buuut it's just a matter of time before i relapse back into counterstrike, i'd play more cod if the updates didn't make me reinstall the whole shit everytime i try to play. likewise need to brush off my sf4 muscle memory and dive into ranked sf6
widowslaugh123 06.20.24	Bout to start up ghost of Tsushima. Only got a few hours in but shit is dope
Purpl3Spartan 06.20.24	Been playing way too much r6 siege. Also got felvidek, blasphemous 2, and balatro. Will prob be getting the ER dlc too
RadioSuicide 06.20.24	Siege is so good. Best shooter ever prob. Slay the Spire has me by the balls again. Balatro was fun for the price, but there really is no comparison between the two
alamo 06.20.24	i like to play pretend and spin the bottle
Koris 06.20.24	I've been revisiting the Metal Gear Solid series recently. Hot take, but I actually prefer MGS2 to the first game these days
twlight 06.20.24	I’ve been playing starfield. Been on a Bethesda kick and I really love thier games. Starfield is a love/hate relationship
twlight 06.20.24	I started multiple playthroughs of Elden Ring on Xbox… and I’m in a predicament because I now have a ps5… so I’m thinking about buying Elden Ring complete edition in like 3 months when it goes on sale. I’m currently a bit burned out on from software games because I played ds3 and two runs on Sekiro, plus Elden Ring in the span of like one year. So I need a break.
MO 06.20.24	ugh arkham games are soooo good
el_newg 06.20.24	im a Rocket League tragic but apart from that mostly single player stuff with great/innovative gameplay or good narratives
Mort. 06.20.24	i wake up and think about balatro i finish work and i play balatro i never win at balatro
Demon of the Fall 06.20.24	is that the deckbuilder? it was on my list of six zillion games I was 'considering' but will never play I'm playing Prodeus / Doom 64 at the minute. I'm really bad at starting anything genuinely new to me (Prodeus is essentially a Doom clone / tribute so it barely counts as 'new'). Pretty sure I've sunk 600 hours (minimum) into Fallout 4 because I cannot be arsed thinking
Mort. 06.20.24	yeah its a roguelite deckbuilder built around the classic 52 card deck and poker, really good with a lot of replay value theres basically a bunch of different decks with different quirks (such as a 40 card deck with no face cards or a 52 card deck of only hearts and spades) and then each deck has multiple difficulty scalings you work your way through. you score points by playing poker hands (flush, straight, two pair etc) and pick up 'joker' cards that act as variables (say, adding extra points if you play a flush) then theres like 20 challenges with their own very specific rules and decks. overall id say its a 9/10 or 10/10, deffo worth it for the money cos its pretty cheap and the developer is committed to balancing and patching it for the forsseable future!
Mort. 06.20.24	lol i started playing prodeus a few months ago, really didnt think much of it. deffo just a doom clone and not a particularly imaginative one at that. like damn they couldnt have gone for a more unique aesthetic?
Demon of the Fall 06.20.24	lol, yeah even the enemy archetypes are clearly very much inspired by Doom I'm enjoying it regardless, but it's certainly not reinventing the wheel. I was also disappointed to find I couldn't create anything on console. You can play the user created content though, so maybe people have made some interesting maps that'll freshen things up a little (haven't tried yet) yeah, I knew it was based on Poker. Sounds cool. I should get it on Switch or something (assuming this is a thing, my hazy memory thinks it might be)
Zac124 06.20.24	Been playing a lot of Overwatch recently. It pisses me off so I don’t know why.
Sharenge 06.20.24	HEADSHOT!
mkmusic1995 06.20.24	I literally go back and forth between Cities Skylines and NHL22
Ladron93 06.20.24	sighs Starfield is a mess... Love Titanfall 2, cycosynner. I've been playing Apex Legends, Deep Rock Galactic, Ready or Not, Pseudoregalia and The Big Catch: Tacklebox these days. I may plan to play Mass Effect Trilogy again someday. So's Resident Evil 5.
MTObsidian 06.20.24	Been jamming Doom Eternal lately; I think I'm getting old because that game has so many different mechanics it makes my head spin. I never remember to use all of the tools to make huge damage combos and effectively crowd control. Still waiting for CDPR to patch Cyberpunk again so that I can remap the dodge key to my mouse without crashing the game. Would love to do another runthrough of that one. I have an all bosses run of Dark Souls 2 lurking behind my shoulder somewhere but every time I try to make progress I realize I don't actually like that stupid fucking game but I need to finish it so I can never play it again Helldivers 2 is great fun as well, but the problem is finding time to actually sit down at the PC and play anything at all--let alone link up with friends. Having other responsibilities really cuts into the gaming time; I'll go weeks without even turning on my gaming rig because I can't be bothered after taking care of everything that needs to get done.
IsisScript80 06.20.24	My backlog is huge. Been playing Roll7's (RIP) 'Rollerdrome', which is a joy. Recently bought 'Chorus' and 'Samurai Shodown: Neo Geo Collection' (a sweet Digital Eclipse job). I love gaming, but it's not remotely conducive to doing anything else during the day. Recently (as in the last couple of months) played through GTA5 again (my last proper gaming stint), and it really brings home how much these endeavours demand time to enjoy, and there are SO MANY now.
Gameofmetal 06.20.24	Playing Elden Ring ahead of the DLC. Baldur's Gate 3 has been in my backlog for a while, probably ought to knock it out next. Strong desire to replay Mass Effect looming though.
SomeCallMeTim 06.20.24	any game my shittily spec'd PC can handle, which is pretty much Cruelty Squad and ancient games
Slex 06.20.24	Obsessed with FF16 and Disco Elysium rn but I think the Elden Ring hype is too strong to ignore so I gotta do a new character and get that sweet DLC
Christbait 06.20.24	Just returned to Division 2 after a year away from it. I've already got 500 hours in it but the gameplay loop is consistently fun. Seems to be some issues with how Massive is changing upcoming seasons with introducing seasonal characters a la Diablo, but for now I've had a blast just being a DPS machine.
Slex 06.20.24	Division 2 is honestly one of my all time fave games, it's just so rock solid and fun
Christbait 06.20.24	I played a bit of Div 1 but was very late to the party and couldn't find it in me to invest in builds. But I actually took the day off work when Division 2 first released. Crazy that Massive considered sunsetting the game a couple of years ago after Warlords of New York released. But I think with no Div 3 on the foreseeable horizon, they had to double back and find ways to revitalize the game to keep the playerbase intact.
MTObsidian 06.20.24	Ah shit, I had forgotten about Baldur's Gate 3... I have to do that one at some point too. Man, it never ends!
Slex 06.20.24	@bait Yeah especially after that Heartlands or whatever game was cancelled it's weird to see them focusing on 2 again lol
Devastator 06.20.24	Been playing the fuck out of Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth and it is phenomenal. Gonna be hopping back into Elden Ring with the DLC about to drop.
arthropod 06.20.24	Not really into gaming lately. Gonna return to playing Hollow Knight soon, maybe also SCP:CB. Never beaten a single game in my whole life btw.
budgie 06.20.24	hello i like to play diablo II and age of empires II and sometimes post scriptum
budgie 06.20.24	i guess its been a couple of years since if played any of those three though
budgie 06.20.24	age of mythology rehash #2 is coming out in septemberish i might check that see if its better than rehash #1
Christbait 06.20.24	I suck so much ass at Diablo 2. I didn't grow up playing it so when it released on consoles, I thought it'd be like Diablo 3 and I could just steamroll late-game content with a middling build. Nope, Diablo 2 demands you put your hours in. Losing your gear on death, too, is a big middle finger to people playing with a D3 mentality.
GreyShadow 06.20.24	typically nintendo and jrpg guy here just played half of RE2 (remake) recently which was out of my comfort zone but i loved it been hoping through sonic games, finishing RE2, Elden Ring, and now Ace Attorney lmao i really wanna get back into FF14 soon
Slex 06.20.24	I love FF14 and yet I've still never even beaten ARR lmao oops
CugnoBrasso 06.20.24	Currently halfway through the google chrome t-rex game
arthropod 06.20.24	HALFWAY?!
Emim 06.20.24	Main squeeze is Destiny 2 unfortunately but I've actually been enjoying Fortnite. That's one I only play with buddies though. For single player stuff just started back up with Starfield since they released a pretty huge update and added mods and lots of QOL stuff. Also been playing some old games like Timesplitters and Red Dead Revolver
StormChaser 06.20.24	CHIVALRY 2 RAAAAAAARRRGGHHHH
FrozenFirebug 06.20.24	list of good singleplayer games: serious sam: the first encounter serious sam: the second encounter serious sam 3: before first encounter serious sam 4 serious sam: siberian mayhem list of good multiplayer games: quake quake III CPMA quake team fortress team fortress classic fortress forever team fortress 2
arthropod 06.20.24	Okay, gave Google t-rex two tries and hit a plant at 343 and 666 pts respectively. I love numerology.
efp123 06.21.24	Tetris
FrozenFirebug 06.21.24	Finished the Doom Eternal DLCs and Master Levels on Nightmare to refresh my memory on the state of NuDoom before the new NuDoom game comes out. I used to spite it for not giving me the type of shooter experience I wanted, but it's very fun in its own right. A good game overall. I will say the mix of braindead AI pathing + infinite resource recovery generally trivializes the experience, even when every single demon combination is thrown at you. Hope Dark Ages makes you act or die instead of run in circles until victory. Lots of keybinds and high actions per minute has its own learning curve, but there isn't much to learn after that. ZERO emphasis on consciously dodging anything besides some boss attacks.
Deathconscious 06.21.24	I recently finished the Arkham games for the first time a couple of weeks ago. I thought after four whole games id be ready to move on, but im thinking of restartng City soon. Saving Origins for winter. Other than that, ive been playing Fable. Need to get back to Sea of Stars, Forbidden West, and Dark Souls Remastered.
CaptainDooRight 06.21.24	I grew up playing a bunch of games in the 90’s But during the last decade I’ve only been into MOBA type games. PC and Mobile Currently been playing Mobile Legends - Mythical Immortal Rank Just started Honor of Kings today because it was just released in the US today
ramon. 06.21.24	tekken 8 :)
mryrtmrnfoxxxy 06.21.24	doom wads rn
MTObsidian 06.21.24	"doom wads rn" Absolute gigachad. I love booting up Doom wads and playing with the Brutal Doom mod.
mryrtmrnfoxxxy 06.21.24	hell yeah. ive been obsessed lately. im limited to boom compatible wads so no mods for me but still there's so much good shit! chipping away at Memento Mori this week, mostly loving it, when im not getting stuck lol. seems like i get stuck every other level. still, amazing wad for '95. what are some of your favorites?
Deathconscious 06.22.24	Decided to get all the DLC for Arkham Knight. Looking forward to the Batgirl one the most.
JayEnder 06.22.24	Back on Bloodborne for the first time in a couple years, finally beat Laurence after all this time. Only boss I never beat on my first playthrough. Absolute masterpiece in every sense of the word. Probably the easiest FromSoft game too if you got the gun parrying down. Boutta fire up Elden Ring today, really excited to see what the DLC has to offer.
rockarollacola 06.23.24	Been spending too much time playing DayZ recently
bellovddd 06.23.24	currently on GTA online ruining peoples experience
Sharenge 06.23.24	y u do dat!?
MTObsidian 06.26.24	@foxxxy I love megawads so I can keep playing the same thing for a while instead of just a level or two. Some of the classics (Scythe, Plutonia, etc.) are a lot of fun and pretty challenging with Brutal Doom due to the mutual damage increase. I haven't booted up any in a while so I can't name any others off the top of my head besides Foursite, but there are so many great wads out there to try. Have you tried out Ashes 2063? It's basically an entire new game made using the GZDoom engine. It's honestly incredible and such a fun experience. Completely changes the game into a mix of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. and Fallout and Doom in that old Doom II style. I would highly recommend it.
Zac124 06.26.24	Edit: wrong thread. i am an idiot
