What are you playing this weekend? November 2023

[ZedClampet]

People only post to avoid working, so I thought I would try a weekend post to draw you out. What are you playing this weekend?

For me, I plan to play

Weed Shop 3 -- I've already been murdered by an activist homeless woman
Super Woden GP 2 -- Haven't played a top-down racer since I was a kid. Lost my first 3 races
Parkitect -- Had this forever. Don't know why I haven't played it yet.
Cities XXL -- Probably just the tutorial

Away from home so Ive only been playing a little more SteamWorld Heist. Its still pretty good. A little Wartales this morning, thats it.

path of exile. its a new weekly event and another lootbox is up for grabs. Getting to level 50 and cashing out. More interestingly its some leagues that i haven't played before so its worth a quick look for me.

Halo Infinite and Hearthstone. Again.

Hearthstone - just to complete my daily quests. Halo Infinite is what I play with family.

I might start Spiderman tomorrow. I have to play the first one before I get the 2nd.

Just finished Baldur's Gate 3. Tomorrow I'll have very limited time for computer games because we're gathering with friends to play table-top games. But I'm thinking about starting Pillars of Eternity 2 in turn-based mode. Aliens: Dark Descent is also an option. I also have an unfinished playthrough of Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous, so this is viable as well. Hmm... Solasta also waits for its turn...

 

[Zloth]

Old World & Guardians of the Galaxy.

@ZedClampet - what happened to Talos 2?

People only post to avoid working, so I thought I would try a weekend post to draw you out.

But I work weekends

Finished a replay of Far Cry New Dawn a few days ago, so chilling with Jewel Match Origins 2 atm—it's a Match 3 which isn't great, but ok for now, despite not having any Help system, ie have to revisit Tutorial levels to find out what an item does or how to destroy it. Also approaching 1,000 levels played in my filler of choice these days, Picross Touch.

Next big game might be Iron Harvest, if I'm still in the humor for it in a week or so—or maybe have a look at Train Valley 2, thanks to Zed's poke

 

[BeardyHat]

Probably Anno 1800 and Turtle WoW. Though I'm little bored with both of them I think, but don't feel like playing much else, so I'll probably just keep plugging away here until a different mood strikes me.

Getting close to finishing Symphony of the Night; not likely to finish it this weekend, but I'll make some more progress here and there.

I had the second session of my D&D campaign today. We had three new players though, bringing the total to 6 players, most of which have very limited experience with TTRPGs. So we only managed to get through a single encounter in about 1.5 hours.

I mean, that sounds pretty standard even for experienced players!

Whaaa?? They only take a couple of minutes!

Oh, wait, I was playing a 1st Edition wizard, and I was only counting the portion of the battle where I was alive.

What edition of D&D are you playing? Are you starting on level 1?

Edit: NVM, I see now that it's the first edition.

 

[Alm]

The only time I played D&D was in school in 2ed.

It was really enjoyable but I think it would highly depend on your DM & team to make it fun. I haven't tried it since school.

I played tons of BG3 and had a nice time robbing a bank, chasing down a hag, killing a vampire, emotional support for a widower of a zombie husband, and clearing a haunted house. Oh, and I stole like a gazillion of firecrackers and other types of bombs from a shady storage facility that I may or may not use for a big bada boooooom!

I'm playing 5e and we did start on level 1, but we leveled up at the end of the first session.

I created my character by rolling for every single choice during character creation, which redulted in a Wizard with completely average intelligence and no useful spells to speak of. The entire first session I relied exclusively on attacking with two daggers or a sling.

On level up I chose a spell that isn't dependent on Intelligence, which forces the enemy to reroll their attack and lets an ally reroll their next roll too. I used it twice and neither time did it actually influence the outcome.

It's a good thing there's 5 more players at the table...

Sorry for the misunderstanding. Zloth was talking about the first edition, not you. Somehow I treated his post as yours. I think that 5e is a good choice for new players. It's simpler than 3e or 3.5e and still offers a wide range of options.

 

[kronLaky]

City Skyline is waiting for me by the weekend

 

[ZedClampet]

Old World & Guardians of the Galaxy.

@ZedClampet - what happened to Talos 2?

I'm dragging it out, doing one or two puzzles every other day.

 

[DXCHASE]

Diablo 4
Grim Dawn
Cultic

I havent played Destiny 2 in about a month now. Its weird, but i also feel good that im not stuck in that grind anymore esp. with the way Bungie is headed.

 

[ZedClampet]

Decided to make this a monthly post like the others, which may defeat the purpose of trying to get people to post on the weekend, but I don't want to fill the board up with two-day posts.

 

[Frindis]

Just finished Baldur's Gate 3.

*tips hat*

 

[Johnway]

Will be playing Yakuza 3. only 20% of the game complete. Gotta keep going!

 

[Pifanjr]

I don't expect I'll have much time to play anything this weekend. Sinterklaas (the Dutch version of Santa Claus) is arriving in the Netherlands tomorrow, so we'll be busy with that.

Still tipping away in Jewel Match Origins 2, up to Level ~140 now.

Picked up Crush the Castle Legacy Collection on sale, can't really beat the whole lot—they say ~300 levels all told—for $5. This is the forerunner of Angry Birds, and was a big Flash game a decade or more ago. It's the same old experience, fun and frustrating

I've gone thru CTC 1 & 2, and their Player Packs, and am now ~20 levels into the Adventure game I never played before. A level can be one minute or five, depending on how it goes for you—there are a few where I haven't got the gold star yet. Another great little filler game
