    I keep trying FF14 and I keep not getting anywhere. I'm sure the story gets good eventually. But man is it a boring slog early on, especially when you have like 3 combat skills that share a cooldown so your combat consists of "press 1, wait, press 2, wait, press 3, wait, press 1, wait..."

    Someday I'll break past the point that I keep losing interest. Maybe by then they'll have done away with forced grouping, too. :D

    I would not count on it.

    Like seriously, removing dungeons from the story is not going to happen.

    Best you could hope for is them backporting the Trusts system introduced into Shadowbringers dungeons to all dungeons in ARR/prior expansions and I think even that's massively unlikely.

    Also, Horizon Zero Dawn on pc continues to be a good time. Playing on Very Hard first time through was a good grinder to build my skills back up. Getting enough skills, gear, and practice under my belt that the early machines are not a deadly risk anymore.

    Look, I can hope. :lol:

    It would just be nice not to keep making adorable dragongirls and then abandoning them at level 20something.

    Dragon Quest Builders sounds up your alley

    Gonna second this one.

    Dragon Quest Builders 2 (don't think the first one is on PC) Is pretty laid-back when it comes to what it asks for in terms of actual progression, but lets you go balls-to-the-wall crazy with your building projects if that's your thing.

    One of the greatest blessings to my ability to build in games like Conan or ARK are the mods that add the ability for building blocks to intersect into both the ground as well as each other but also foundations snapping in line with each other, so that my fortresses can properly use the space I choose without having to address slight increases in ground slope by altering the entire format and footprint of what the fuck I'm building.

    I return home from a holiday weekend with the family, including extended family get-together where the highlight was getting into an argument with my Mormon aunt because she was trying to proselytize as well as get hold of some family genealogical information my mother has been compiling for years (her attempts have been ongoing and we know damn well why she wants the names). So that was fun times.

    In any case I get home and find that I was not spared from the @Isorn bombing run. Thank you for Divided Reigns!

    Downloaded the demo for this and will check it out
    Stardew Valley? If you wanted to dip your toes into an MMO, I hear FFXIV has a pretty good free trial.

    It's pretty chill, imo. There's so much to do that doesn't require forming a dedicated raiding team or anything. Can just hang out and craft and gather and experience the story and chat with friends in FC chat or a linkshell or whatever.

    Yeah, I could give Stardew another try... it hadn't clicked the couple times I've poked at it. The thing about MMOs I worry about is that my brain likes to optimize everything and I'll grab all the quests! and it stops being a more relaxing journey (this got me in a lot of trouble when Destiny 2 changed to infinite dailies... D: ). And I don't want to go through 2.0 again and they won't let me reuse my initial expired sub as a free trial :(

    Zetx If you like building things, Satisfactory is V. Good for this. It's a factory-builder. There is some limited combat, but it's pretty avoidable and easy to deal with, and you get to build crazy mega structures. It's about as involved as you want it to be - you can be crazy like me and build mega structures and world spanning factories, but you dont have to.

    ...and honestly, this is probably like heresay or something in this thread, but why not Minecraft? I'm serious - it's by defintion chill, there's a LOT of content to it these days, there's modpacks for Even More Content, and it's still got some of the nicest, easiest feeling building in the genre. I've been looking at getting back into it with this Modpack: https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/modpacks/better-minecraft-modpack

    Ooh, Satisfactory looks good too. I kept getting it confused with the top-down factory game... Factorio? Minecraft, I like playing with others. I've started it so many times now, I actually popped in the other day and just kinda stared at the tree, not wanting to punch it again and start the cycle :lol: For me, the way the caves are generated still can't be beat in terms of following them down and exploring.

    @Zetx it's probably worth being aware that Factorio's developer recently showed their whole ass, doing a whole railing against Cancel culture and similar bullshit. Which dropped that game into my Well, i'm probably not touching this. The game's visually ugly anyway!

    Play Satisfactory! It's self-aware and pretty funny, ontop of being drop dead gorgeous as a game.

    Like here are some screenies from my base:
    ?imw=5000&imh=5000&ima=fit&impolicy=Letterbox&imcolor=%23000000&letterbox=false?imw=5000&imh=5000&ima=fit&impolicy=Letterbox&imcolor=%23000000&letterbox=false?imw=5000&imh=5000&ima=fit&impolicy=Letterbox&imcolor=%23000000&letterbox=false

    And the entire world map is hand crafted which is just *chefs kiss*. It is still in Early acess, but frankly, there's hundreds of hours of content already.

    Coffee stain seem like pretty great devs too - Active with the community, responsive to feedback, and they've taken all that money they made from unleashing the horror that was Goat Simulator on us all to become a publisher of cool things like Valhiem.

    Also, the prophecy has been fulfilled. You're all safe, Dover has struck. (Penguins are not responsible for people not being safe)

    Yes, IIRC it added some new mechanics and more storyline events written by Chris Avellone of games writing (and alleged sex harassing) fame. So you would not run into the same "bring samples on board/they turned out to be spiders and your crew died" stories over and over again.

    I feel that taking one for the team was a worthy cause, even if i did not know i was taking one for the team!

    and hey, Roguebook is one i was genuinely interested in, but very leery about spending my own money on because i wasnt sure if i'd enjoy it, or end up being very critical of it. (In which case i'd feel bad having spent money on it, my budget being very limited).

    So Dover's generosity works out really well!

    Honestly, if you don't have a castle on the back of a hunger-free/feedable titansaur in your private/single player Island server, you're playing ARK wrong.

    ....

    Seriously, you're playing it wrong. Place is too big for a solo player to have just a single location to run back from after a bullshit death (of which there will be many) and keeping track of outposts is a pain in the ass at the best of times, so why not just have the base come with you wherever you go? And since a Bronto could still get eaten by a pack of Allosaurus or a roaming giga, might as well make it a Titan.
