I'm playing Earthbound right now, the Phase Distorter is finally done and I'm about to take on the final boss. Overall it's a very solid game, I 100% get why this game has such a big cult following.

So much bidya to play rn
I started the REmake1 after 20 years
Playing several RTS and a new MOBA called March of Giants
Then Bloodborne PC is a reality
Then other 3 games I'm expecting will hit the store soon

Re1 directors cut on duckstation, despite my failing, enjoying it quite a bit also 90s graphics are peak soul

90% of my recent playtime in recent was Yo-Kai Watch Blasters ++. I love it the original Yo-Kai Watch Blasters is great time and the ++ mod makes it a lot better. I have been grinding orgarlus and I hate that boss now. Worst oni. I wish I was better at socializing so I could have and meet more people to play it with.
Last night I continued a replay of HorrorVale. It's my favorite Halloween game. But it's something this website wouldn't be into. It's a stereotypical Earthbound clone.

>Carnevil, Deadlock, Alan Wake
Carnevil is enjoyable, but emulating it without a light gun or a credit limit made my experience so much worse. It was good for a night.
Deadlock is a bad habit.
Alan Wake reminds me a lot of Deadly Premonition for some reason. It has very little in common, and they play nothing alike, but all I can think of is Greenvale while playing it.

lilly route in jan

When I was injected with an antipsychotic that they immediately took me off of I had anhedonia really bad and could only deal with adventure games. But I can't blame it anymore, lately I'm seemingly mentally blocking the fact I'm avoiding school.

I shoulda done Apollo Justice Ace Attorney earlier too for a bunch of reasons.

I only really wanted to mention adventure games rn, don't feel like divulging what else. I mean games create more meaning than procrastinating with youtube or reddit. I've been wanting to cut out discord too. Nothing matters in life.

Im doing the trader joe's method to clean up my backlog, but I find that as i make progress, I feel more drive to buy new games because I see how much progress im making and having a backlog is not as daunting anymore. Im finding action games harder to clear though because with the strategy games I could just wedge them into my lunch breaks or play them on my laptop bit by bit but action games are much more of commitments where you really need to be in the mood and keep your hands hot. I think the trader joe's method really takes the dread out of scrolling through your library and makes games a much more satisfying experience.

Really ahead of its time as a horror visual novel.
You can shape the path of each story because the storyteller always asks on multiple occasions what you think happened in any given situation before telling you you're right and priceeding with the story regardless of what you chose, so a story about a spooky mirror can go in the direction of the mirror having a demon inside or being cursed to show the death of whoever looks in it, that sort of thing.

The newly released Switch version also comes with the spiritual successor 晦-つきこもり, so that'll be next.

I played through the FAITH trilogy for the first time for October, pretty cool games, then I played a bunch of games from a one-man nip dev, lots of cute girls and some neat shmup-adjacent gameplay
Going to play Withering Rooms next

>>749696891
First and Second encounter are really fun, did you realize that you could also destroy statues and trees and stuff with rockets and grenades? That's how you wind up finding a lot of secrets.

Just beat Silent Hill f. I don't know if I should pirate Townfall or maybe jump into a JRPG like SMTV: Vengeance.

It's a boring answer for the next few months, I'm hyperfocusing on FFXIV one last time. Above all else I want to do the Ultimates up to TOP before 8.0 but also want to get all the casual content done before then. Whatever remains in Ultimates and older Savages I'd slowly do as the opportunity presents itself from here on and as for the rest I shouldn't ever have a reason to glue myself to this game this hard again in the future.
Rarely I throw in some ball gaming with a friend while waiting on people in XIV, but otherwise nothing really aside from playing some simpler older mobile game for a few minutes during commute.

Great thread idea OP.

I've recently played and beat Control Resonant (great game btw, GOTY contender for sure).

Just hit HR 50 in Monster Hunter Wilds, trying to get up to 100 before the DLC comes out (Omega is kicking my fucking ass, might have to break my solo rule and get the support hunters to help out).

Gonna pick up the 1.0 version of Enshrouded coming out tomorrow and no-life that for a while. Probably gonna play the new Castlevania and the new FF Resonance game before PoE2 1.0 comes out, which I'm gonna no-life until the FFXIV expansion comes out.

Tons of fucking games to play, really excited to play through them. My backlog is insane though, still need to play RE9, Pragmata, the DD2 DLC, Crimson Desert, etc.

Pokemon GhostGrey (I keep shilling this romhack, it was pretty fun)
LIMBO
Resident Evil OG
Resident Evil 2 OG
Resident Evil 3 OG

>what you're currently playing
I finished RE3 two days ago. I played REmak3 back in June and I didn't like it back then, but in retrospective after playing the original, they completely butchered the remake to an insulting degree. For now I'm just playing holodori while I decide what to play next.

>and how you're enjoying them
RE3 was a bit frustrating at times and I particularly didn't enjoy the dodge being tied to the same button to shoot, but it was still a really good game. holodori is a gacha rhythm game, I like it.

Checking the horror games I have in my library that I haven't played yet, I have Dead Space 2, Deadlight, F.E.A.R. 2 and 3, Killing Floor, the Metro trilogy, Outlast 1 and 2, Scratches and the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. original trilogy. What should I play next?

I had my doubts too, but to my surprise, it is pretty solid, and is infact fun. It's made by ex Burnout devs, and the kind that understood the task on making a worthy racing game.

Nice, I already have DD2 so the DLC will probably be my next move after Enshrouded or the new Castlevania game. I put about 20 hours into CD before burning out, but apparently they've made a shitton of changes/improvements since release so I'll probably go back to it at some point

ROLLA is awesome, Katamari where you size is your health and you're going for THPS-style goals for destruction and death with a great monster movie presentation, I loved the demo and the game's lived up to it.
I downloaded a bunch of DSiWare on my homebrewed 3DS; Zombie BBQ is soulful and challenging but a couple of the bosses are just awful which drag it down. Ogre is a single-screen beat-em-up with 1 enemy sprite with colors, 1 boss sprite with different heads, and 1 major boss sprite, and you have an extremely small moveset and yet I'm enamored with it.
Replayed Rondo twice (Richter & Maria) before my first-ever SotN playthrough mostly blind; got the bad ending in one 6-hour session and enjoyed it. I'll go back and get the inverted castle later this month I think; best part is all the direct Rondo level design put on the map.
Prime Hunters would be really great if the Octolith Guardian fights weren't dogshit, still think I like it more than the only other Prime game I played (1) just because of the snappier combat and levels.

Doom - Eviternity 2. It's very good, with lots of cool little touches, nice levels and a kickass new gun that can only be found in secret levels so you're encouraged to play continuous.
Also Koikatsu if it counts. I made a first person scene where a shortstack gremlin chick is losing to me in strip poker. Also a Doom fangirl dark elf shooting Doom Eternal Imps in a strip club for some reason, I dunno I thought it looked cool.

I really wish I had subclasses already. There's no sources of buffs/debuffs in the party and the only status ailments are from War Magus, which inflicts a random one so I can't even choose what I get, which is a slight problem.

Playing Resident Evil Requiem. So far it's decent. I really like the Grace sections, but the Leon sections feel like it breaks the flow. I'm having fun sneaking around with Grace for 2 hours, then I go do a 15 minute section of shooting random shit with Leon, and then back to Grace. I think they should've just done an A/B scenario for this title instead of mixing them together.

>that VN
The most unforgettable horror porn game I've ever played. No other game had a bunch of elementary schoolers gangbang a teenage girl against a wall. And the teenage girl loved it. No other game I've played had a 17 year old bishonen guy drink a 14 year old girl's piss and chase her down the hall to rape her, only to wind up getting anally raped by a 32 year old fat man. I still remember the scene where a 16-17 girl was hiding under a bed as her same age best friend was having sex with that same 32 year old fat guy on top. She heard every moan, bed shake and sound. In the wrong end she was discovered under the bed by her friend and made to join. A most terrifying scene was when an unwilling girl relives another girl's sex memories. The girl in the memory consented but the reliving girl didn't. It didn't matter that she was mentally screaming, her body in the memory did all the motions and actions as in history. It's like mind control rape except the victim was fully aware. Another scene the same girl and a friend were almost raped in a magic sex ritual, saved by the girl's older sister, and the backlash made the older sister want to rape her younger sister and friend.

The loli in this pic is freakishly lewd and once disguised herself as a teenage girl, fucked a boy until he nearly came, transformed back saying
>You thought you were having sex with a highschooler weren't you? I'm an elementary schooler all along!
And leglocks that boy, forcing him to cum inside her unprotected, when he screams in fear upon learning this. This isn't even getting into the tentacles, the gay sex, the lesbian sex, the incest, the sequel's mother/daughter lesbian scene, etc. The first chapter alone contains lots of lesbian sex scenes with an unavoidable girl masturbating in the bathroom. Truly horror is intrinsically connected with sexuality.
