What game are you playing/looking forward to and on what platform?

Only when freshly baked, I feel like jumping on the PC to play the only game I ever play these days: Counter-Strike Global Offensive.

Once in a looong while (like once in a year or 2), I dabble with M.A.M.E. and other arcade emulators. I got Virtual Pinball up and running last winter. There’s a Stranger Things table made from scratch that is really cool. It was almost made into a real table, but the licensing deal fell through or something.

World of Tanks on the PC and Swiped on phone.

D2 mostly. Aside from Valiant, my absolute favorite, I’ve been playing Sunlust (it’s extremely high level difficulty, but you’re eased into it in the first half, and ain’t no shame in playing it on Hurt Me Plenty), the very old Daedalus Alien Defense by TeamTNT, Community Chest 3 and 4, and Memento Mori for that classic feel of the 90s’ map design. I’ve yet to download Eviternity, it’s a work of art. Toss in a few fun quality-of-life mods like Random Deaths & Decoration by Glaice/Mr. Chris/Armaetus, a new screen like NCHUD, and it’s a fresh coat of paint on an old barrel of laughs.

And speaking of D1, it’s about time I downloaded Sigil :smiling_imp:

P.S.: I’d also be playing Deus Ex by now if only I could be arsed to get Steam downloaded and running. Eh, I’ll get to it.

And for those that care:

There was one I liked, big “spiral staircase” in the middle. So many polygons it brought my laptop to its knees, would get frame-updates like once every second or so. :open_mouth:

If you’d go up the staircase sideways to limit what’s in view, it played nicely. :laughing:

There was one I liked, lots of “warehouses” in the middle “city”, driftwood-trees and a bunch of Flaming Heads around the periphery. “Easy” if you were systematic about it, but also easy to make a wrong move and get into a lot of trouble.

’Though lots of them had bugs in ’em, eg, get a Flaming Head stuck in a wall so that you only see one horn going back’n’forth along the wall as it “paced”. So forget about 100% kills unless you’d phase through walls and chainsaw it or something.

One thing that always bugged me was that if you were way high on a ledge, like 50’ high, a Pink Puppy (Frankenberry) could be down below and “bark” at you to do serious damage, but there’s zero way to shoot down at him. Talk about one-sided…

Lotta .wads loooooved to exploit that.

Whoa… what’s that, a mash-up of like, everything? :laughing:

Just skimmed, was getting seasick.

I always took my time, 100% kills, max ammo, grab all the goodies, find all the secrets.

The best gaming experiences I’ve ever had were Halo 1 and 2 split screen with friends, combined with Xbox live back when everyone used mics and weren’t screaming obscenities at each other (at least not as much/only when deserved :smiley: ). What a time.

I remember the mods where you could pilot Scarab walkers and fly bombers dropping nukes on them, good times.

Planetside 2 on PC, the largest scale FPS so far.

The learning curve is steep, although the developers are working on that, but once I got the hang of it, the scale and open nature of the combat really hooked me.

I'm playing Persona 5 on PS4.

I really like Japanese-style RPG's, and I mostly play PS3 and PS4 games.

I usually play older games while I watch TV, but their graphics aren't that impressive.

Well, I beat Persona 5 on PS4.

I actually beat it twice on PS3, so this is the third time I have beat it overall.

It's such a great game, and series.

Next I will try Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth: Hacker's Memory on PS4.

It doesn't have the best reviews, but I like its genre.

EDIT:

Looks like I should play Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth first, so I won't be playing its sequel quite yet.

Instead, I'll try Odin Sphere Leifthrasir on PS4.

Cyberpunk 2077 my entire life is waiting for this game

Need for speed Porsche

Civ 4

Oh Civ - don’t even tell me……… I shudder to think how many days I’ve played CIV since the 1st one lol! True classic.

More XCOM: Enemy Unknown. Currently on a Classic (second hardest difficulty) run with Marathon (everything takes longer and costs more), and accidental Damage Roulette. Early game felt like headbutting a brick wall, but sloooowly I’m making progress. As soon as I get an alien containment facility up and put satellites over Brazil and Argentina to get the instant-autopsies-and-interrogations bonus, it’ll be a massive leap in my gear development speed.

That, of course, while hoping that no more countries withdraw before I get the satellites up or I’ll game over DX

Odin Sphere Leifthrasir is really good, but I quit playing it for now because it's more complicated than I prefer.

I've been playing Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth for a while now.

It's okay, but I've played much better JRPG's.

The plot is kinda lame, a lot of the battles are too easy, and the voices are in Japanese.

(I like it when the audio is in English.)

Also, the music isn't the best, and the dungeons are re-used way too much.

The game isn't too complicated for me, so I'll most likely play it until I beat it.

But I doubt I will play through it more than once, which is what I sometimes do with games that I really like.

I beat Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth.

It wasn't that great, so I wouldn't recommend it unless you really like JRPG's.

Time to start the sequel.

Almost done with Metro 2033 Redux. Radial dynamic light sources like fire, anomalies and muzzle flashes have a very weird “bubble” effect on my screen because my graphics card is a rotten potato, but otherwise the game runs really well. Not sure if I like it more than the old 2033, but at least it’s more consistent with the sequels (Last Light and Exodus).

I recently revisited Empyrion. Still a great game, and to be honest I have no idea why it didn’t get bigger than it did/has.
The building possibilities are huge and you can lose hours just designing ships of various classes and bases etc.
The AI seems to be the biggest let down to me, it’s pretty pathetic to tbh. I have never played it multiplayer.
Old video, and a lot has been improved now, but it sums it up nicely!

i love a bit of CS go

infact im gonna have a go now

I'll play any FPS that isn't just about all cut scene video and little in the way of gameplay that's on sale for less than $30.Less than 10GB is a plus.
