Let's Talk About Games

Replaying hollow knight ahead of the imminent release of silk song. It’s so close that I can taste copper.

Victoria 2. I like 3, but I've got a heavily modded megacampaign with my friends going and I don't know 3 well enough to tweak it yet. 2 is still a great game.

Also Assetto Corsa. Competizione looks fun but I like driving stuff other than GT cars

Titanfall 2

AC Origins

Apparently, for me, the better question is, "Which games newer than 6 years are you playing?" It turns out I dont play many new games, just Elden Ring and Jedi Fallen Order ( which is 5 years old even). Deep rock might squeeze in there, but it just turned 6 years old

Battlefield 3 or 4 and Halo MCC. Also Skullgirls.

I've been replaying red dead 2 which turns 6 this year :P

I'm never not playing Skullgirls. Somehow still going, Marie DLC just dropped last week.

Took about a decade off gaming and Needed some "new" games in the pandemic. Bought some new games last year, Skyrim ultimate everything in a bundle, also bought Fallout 3-new Vegas bundles. Skyrim was awesome and I played it for about a year, FO 3 was ok, loving 4, heard New Vegas is the best.

Other than that I play super old school, emulator games for SNES, N64 when I have a bit of time.

I have a weird philosophy where I don't try things until they're about 10 years old, games, TV shows, etc. I figure I am pretty much guaranteed an epic experience if people are still talking about it at that point.

Gran Turismo 4

Software Inc (Early access since 2015) Raft (EA since 2018, full release 2022)

just finished another solid bloodborne playthrough, gotta love the logarius wheel and whirligig saw

RDR2 and Factorio

MHW and Warframe

Rocket League. I probably play a solid 3 hours of that every single week, and have done for the last two years. Before those two years I probably played a solid 7-8 hours a week. It's my forever game, the game I play when I'm bored, the game I play when I've got a lot on my mind and just want to fill the void in my head with something safe and easy.

Almost exclusively Final Fantasy 14 with some Warframe and a smattering of older puzzle games.

Xonotic: om, well it’s based on the darkplaces engine, so yeah, I mean Xonotic in a way is basically as old as 3D multiplayer shooters.

Eador Genesis: like a tighter heroes of might and magic or kings bounty, great with the New Horizons mod.

Beyond All Reason: the latest evolution in a series of Total Annihilation inspired RTS games built on an open source engine.

WinspWW2: a derivative of Steel Panthers, an old DOS hex turn based tactical war game. Yeah there are newer turn based strategy games and perhaps more elegant systems like Combat Mission’s or Operation Flashpoint Red Storm’s simultaneous turns, but the fact stands that WinspWW2 and WinspMBT are from certain perspectives the deepest turn based tactics video games in existence, realistic or not.

Original Peggle and Peggle nights: What do I even need to say, perfection.

Brigador Up Armored Edition: Top down isometric cyberpunk dystopia mech/tank quasi-twin stick shooter. This game is an absolute gem.

Cataclysm Dark Days Ahead: the most interesting open world survival game period, yeah the graphics… barely qualify as graphics but the gameplay and complexity/variety of procedural generation is simply nowhere even close to being matched by any other open world rpg/survival game.

The Long Dark, came out of early access in 2017, so I got the game earlier than that and it still has updates.

Dishonered 1 and 2, a playthrough every year, Witcher 3, Mad Max, MGS V, Prey, theres tons of good games to play a second, third or yearly playthrough.

Rocket League has been a big one for me recently. But I've actually been making an effort to play new stuff besides that, like Alan Wake 1&2, Cyberpunk, and Baldur's Gate 3.

Super Smash Bros Melee

Star Wars the old republic.

I played the absolute FUDGE out of KoToR back in the day, and played SWTOR at launch. But coming back to it after a decade plus just lets me enjoy the story. I won't say its a perfect MMO, because its just not. But oh gawd does the story get good!
