What are the 30 year old plus gamers playing?

BG3 is taking most of my time currently although I've jumped into Armoured Core 6 a little. And Starfield end of the week. Too much to play and that's ignoring all the older games I still want to get through.

Focus on playing 1 game at a time mate otherwise you won't end up completely BG3 - I know because I speak from past experiences

Guacamelee was a great game, i finished it recently so I'm waiting a bit until i play the 2nd.

Hmm, one thing that I seem to have trouble with is the combat - I'm colour blind so finding the combat slightly hard in keeping track and matching the attacks with the enemies...

Ah yeah that sucks, i can't believe there are no colour blind options in the settings as the game relies on coloured shields matched with certain attacks. Sorry to hear that dude, i hope you can overcome it as it's a good game.

That's cool mate, still enjoying the game so far

Just seen this.
If you look closely you'll notice that shields shimmer, and the direction of the shimmer shows how to break it. eg

red - shimmer goes up
green - shimmer goes down
blue - shimmer goes sideways, into the middle from both sides.
yellow - no shimmer

Mark Brown (from Game Maker's Toolkit) [tweeted about this](https://twitter.com/britishgaming/status/1033341518512369665) and the devs replied with the following:

> Hey Mark, we experimented with a number of things for this. Have you noticed there's a moving "sheen" going across these shields? This is meant to show the attack direction for colourblind players.

Thanks a lot mate - this will really come in handy

Struggling to find a game to play, I want something RPG based. I've paused BG3 in the hopes they'll fix the consistency issues in act 3. Starfield I think I may hold off on for a month or so while the first set of bugs are fixed. I think I've played all the RPGs available on steam I'll never touch another blizz game and listening to the feedback about diablo 4 I think that's a good thing.

That's actually a solid plan. I don't usually buy a game when it's released as there will always be bugs and performance patches that shortly follow release. Starfield being a Bethesda game is notoriously known for having bugs in their games and I wouldn't even play it until it has been fully patched.

Armored Core cos us 30 year old gamers will remember this one, just wish my reflexes were still as sharp lol.

How are you finding it?

Really good mate, so much nostalgia. I wish i could change the voice language to Japanese, it would definitely bring it all back lol.

It's still a very difficult and challenging game, but changing the builds to match what i need against each boss is just how i remembered it. The decal design is really fun too making my own custom stickers to put on my mech.

Haha, that's always my problem. Too many things I want to do so I end up doing none of them to the level I want.

Just started Ratchet & Clank.

The game is visually impressive, like extremely good.

You playing this on actual PC or emulation?

Just bought Generation Zero for £3.99
Looks like a pretty good open world - survival game

That had so much hype before launch and turned out to be a very damp squib.... I refunded on steam very quickly.

For £4 it's fine... But it was like £45/50 a launch and I'd played the beta but loads of issues at launch and very boring very quickly after that.

 

[keyser van someone]

Deathloop, 4 maps, 4 times of the day, repeat until bored, took me about 10 hours, uninstalled.

Hell let loose, No Mans Sky, PUBG, World of tanks/Warships are my go too at the minute
