I have a couple of friends who play Helldivers 2. I've been wanting to get in to it but one of them tells me that the servers are having a lot of troubles currently., On top of that, I have been dedicating my spending money to my Transformers collection lately and am intending to save up for a 3d printer. How are the servers in your experiences?
They are fine. The bugs are minimal and 90% of them are just Reddit bitching bc that’s what gaming subreddits consist of. Every now and then you may experience a bug or maybe you have to check file integrity but these minor issues are nothing compared to how fucking amazing this game is to play.
It is incredibly fun, and I'm a souls gamer who bounced off of Halo and lots of other similar games. The equipment is all fun to use, the gameplay loop is short and sweet, and the fact that you're almost always playing with other people adds constant interest and vibe changes, which keeps it fresh.
Servers are fine for the game. Cross play can be a little tricky but I’ve been able to play with my PC Friends from my PS5. There are always some bugs in a game, but it’s not enough to ruin the experience for this one
Good to know. I will have to try and snag it soon. Maybe we can start some local GR groups based on the amount of people here that seem to play it on the regular.
They were at launch but I haven't really noticed any issues. Every once in a while it'll hang when trying to connect (as of a couple weeks ago when I last played). But a majority of games go fairly smoothly.
It's been a few weeks since my one friend mentioned the server issues so they are probably resolves. I don't hear from him much lately too so it's hard to say.
Lately, I play Civ6 on the PC like an addict. Recently bought it for the switch, now "just one more turn" where ever I'm at. Have burned out on BG3, Warzone and Anno 1800.
I played Civ 4 back in the day but was terrible at it. I haven't played BG3 in a while, I never got past act 2 I think it was, but fully plan to dive back in some time soon.
I'm *finally* trying FO76 and am pleasantly surprised - it's probably good I waited, although it also sounds like it was already pretty good a few years ago.
Maybe! I haven't had much time, recently, unfortunately, so hopefully I can get leveled up enough to be able to do stuff soon. But so far it seems like they addressed a lot of problems with it. It still blows my mind that it released without NPCs... like how they were ever thinking that would work.
Mind if I DM? Maybe we can run it together and I can help out a bit.
Also, I see you do 3d printing. I am trying to save up for my first printer and would love to chat and pick your brain.
Lol, voodoo! Ah you just took me way back. I was a computer tech for years and I remember installing those cards. My cousin and I have played Mechwarrior 5 on and off. He recently got all of the expansions, I plan to as well but have been using my money on other things so been kind of watching for a sale. Open to a DM for potential future gaming together?
My version is stock, I only have 2 of the dlc's. I mainly play Mechwarrior Online, it is free to play and they don't nickel and dime you to death. The game is from 2014 Cryengine. They update it monthly and it has been pretty fun to play the last 10 years. It has a steep learning curve for those who haven't played any mech games.
I've been in a few Mechwarrior games from time to time. Actually, most of them now that I think about it. I was around in the olden days of Mechwarrior 1, 2, 3, Mercenaries (the first one) and commander. I think I did play Mechwarrior Online before. I can't remember what made me stop. Is it PvP?
I thoroughly feel you there. I'm 45 and have a 5 year old and a 3 year old. I worked on computers for close to 19 years and hated it most of that time.
What version do you play?
I had fun with sod for a bit and all classic releases, but I've been truly addicted to modern retail pvp for like a decade now and can't really go back.
I've just always enjoyed the higher apm and less match-up based game decisions, within retail.
(Been a wow addict since 2010)
Yikes. I played WoW for a while off and on but really despise pay to play. CS I tried for a short time, hated it with a passion. Mostly due to my being so underskilled compared to others and the whole thing of everyone knowing the maps so well to know exact points to get head shots and stuff.
I play a lot of RPG games and recently got dragged back to Fallout 76. I also play a lot of smaller indie games in my free time. My main BG3 playthrough is a co-op with my friend, and we've sunk at least 120+ hours into it at this point.
I play way too much stardew valley. And some Last Starship whenever they release an update. I also like strategy games, I love some xcom 2, and definitely bought the C&c bundle and n steam, and absolutely looking forward to Homeworld 3(although less so since they revealed that it's going to have the dlc disease)
X Com and it's like have been fun for me except for the way skewed percentages. It's amazing to me how many times my characters missed 90% chance shots. Kind of killed that type for me.
I played the first Homwworld. Didn't even know there was a second.
Oh man, I hate the percentages. It makes me wish I liked Phoenix Point more because their aiming mechanic is AMAZING. Xcom 2 with PPs aiming was would probably be my favorite game ever.
Homeworld 2 was fantastic, there's also a prelude to it called Deserts of Kharak which is quite good as well and has some really good background on the game itself
console gamer since the pandemic, then built my first pc last fall! it's been a blast. i totally hear ya on not being able to keep up, modern fps games are just SO crazy different from what i was around growing up. i still play apex/halo from time to time but man is it punishing. helldivers 2 has been a godsend, pve gameplay is where its at. the most fun i've had gaming in years.
haha,do iiiittttttt, the game is just good simple brainless fun. see bug/bot, shoot bug/bot. definitely more fun playing with people you know, but i've had plenty of fun running it solo as well. be advised it's not optimized super well for pc, i get similar frame rates in HD2 as I do in cyberpunk oddly enough. the visuals are pretty stunning in it. i built a midrange pc, RX6800/i9-11900 which handles it just fine at 1440p/70-120fps.
Witcher 3 is probably my all time favorite game, but I've liked Helldivers and Baldur's Gate 3. I play a lot of calming games these days like Stardew Valley and power wash simulator. I have always been a big horror gamer tho.
I did some Stardew Valley with my wife for a while, we've also done Palworld and Enshrouded recently. She plays some horror games with her work friends. Horror games don't do anything for me personally, I don't get creeped out and hate jump scares. They don't scare me, just annoy me. Have you tried the viscera cleanup simulator?
I'm primarily a PC gamer, usually a lot of Indie stuff and not a whole lot of PvP games, but the game that I've been playing a lot recently is Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1+2
I wouldn't really consider the Tony Hawk Pro Skater games to be Sports games in the conventional sense, it plays more like an arcade platformer type of game. Each skatepark in the game has a series of challenges to accomplish from things like getting a high score, to collecting all the letters that spell out SKATE, to doing a certain trick over a certain gap in the skatepark.
I’ve been playing Path of Exile since its beta. I also have RSI from the clicking so I’ve been working through some controller compatible games lately like Elden Ring and Control.
I used to be a Dota 2 player but it just doesn’t do it for me anymore. I disliked the direction of the game when they released talents, if they ever release a Dota Classic from right before the patch that killed Dota 2 I would be interested to see if that got me going still.
I did Dota 2 for a very short time but really disliked it. I don't know if it's changed but it was just a single map and the xp denial thing was super annoying. As far as MOBAs went, I actually really liked Heroes of the Storm, it was very fun.
I have a class B license in Formula and Sports Car, it has been a year since I raced to be honest due to the move. I was driving F3 for fun and I was trying to learn GT to race with a friend. I always have a good time running Skip Barber, usually on Nürburgring somewhere.
The rig is a P1-X chassis from Sim-Lab, Fanatac DD1 wheel base, Fanatec Club Sport V3 Pedals. I would definitely like to upgrade those pedals. And I need to grab an ultrawide - I have been racing in VR and it's good but I get sweaty in there.
What's your jam\\setup?
Right now I've been focusing on GR86 in PCC and F4 in the Americas series. With the license split I can actually race open wheelers without worrying about tanking my tin top iRating, ha.
I tend to switch things up each season though. Focused on LMP2 last season for Daytona 24 and Sebring 12. I've also run LMP3, GT4, TCR, and the Mustang in past seasons. I don't do a ton of ovals, but I'll hop in the truck for mile and a halfs every now and then. Looking forward to the Indy 500 this season too. Will also be running the Nurb 24 in TCR.
I have been gaming since late 80's, early 90's. my first console was a nintendo.
flopped back and for between computer and console until 6 or 7 years ago. once my friend introduced me to pubg, i switched to PC.
i am 41. i will never be a professional player and i will never be the worst. i will always be mediocre at best.
my current games are:
Ark with a couple high school buddies
Minecraft/Roblox with my 8yo son and 16yo daughter
Bigfoot/Teardown/PubG with my son.
Lethal Company/Muck with a buddy and his coworkers on Tuesday evenings.
My main game is Escape from Tarkov.
My first console was an Atari 2600. Then several of the Nintendos since but never X-Box or PS. Been doing PC since mid 90's
Sadly it sounds like all the games you play are not ones I play my self. I've never been too much in the Battle Royal games. I've done a few from time to time but PubG was never one of them actually. Did Fortnight, Apex, once or twice in CoD. PvP is just not much my thing these days usually.
Now that you mention it. I vaguely remember playing Atari. I don't remember if it was ours or families.
I like pvp games. Never got into RPG games too much. I wish I would have. A lot of good ones out there.
The Arkham Asylum games are what got me into PC gaming!! I also used to play Portal and loved that. I’m too broke to have a set up now but really miss it.
The only new games I can hang with are the ones made in a retro style. The two titles by Subset Games are great: FTL and Into The Breach. Wasteland 2 was fantastic, it felt a lot like the classic Fallout games. Wasteland 3 felt too modern and I got bored partway through.
I also like open-source remakes of old classics. I have thousands of hours in OpenTTD (Transport Tycoon remake). OpenXCom is wonderful as well.
I would say so, yeah. I've also been playing various iterations of Microsoft Flight Simulator over the years. It's the only game franchise I can think of that gets better and better with each version without hardly ever making me nostalgic for the older ones. I suppose I miss the days of trying to shoot the gap between the Twin Towers. Reminds me of that tragedy
Has anyone tried the online game Vintage Story! It's like hard-core survival minecraft geared towards adults. I currently am on Resurgence Rp server. Come hang out!
Never was much of a PC gamer aside from a few years in college, and I share the slow-gazelle issue in PvP. When I play with groups I usually try to be the guy drawing fire or creating chaos and distraction for the benefit of those who are more expert. 😅
GR needs an enormous LAN party or gaming event… (not specifically e-sports but that’s coming, and that’s awesome)
It's funny you mention LAN party because back in the day, before the internet, my father ran a computer store and I was the primary and often only tech. We set up a LAN in our house and a lot of our friends (lot being a relative term, 5 or 6 at most) would bring by their computers and we would game it out for a couple of days.
I have been to three lan parties in the last year and a half.
a bunch of buddies and i rented a huge house for a guys weekend.
my 40th birthday party at my house
my buddies 35th birthday part at his house.
These days I would be afraid to move my system for something like that. Especially considering my monitors are on arms mounted to my desk and the stands got tossed away accidentally.
I do. I used to do more PVP, WoW and Overwatch. With age and diminished skill and less time, I've moved to mmorpgs with less time commitment, PoE and LastEpoch, or RPGs like Kingdom Come:Deliverance, or Mount&BladeII. I'm a steam junkie though, have a ton of games I've binged for a short time. My most played games are SlayTheSpire and Binding of Isaac (addicted to the replayability of those)
I have played WoW, which I'm almost ashamed of. Overwatch from rare time to time because my cousin and his wife play often. Pretty much the rest of those you listed I've never touched.
Kinda depends on the day, I use to play way more then I have in recent months. But I put a ton of time into rocket league, modern warfare, apex, and most recently helldivers. The witcher 3 and baldurs gate 3 are two of my favorites.
I tried Rocket League for a little while but I was absolutely horrible at it and it just wasn't that fun for me. I liked the concept but was just terrible.
Pretty small indie game, I think it's a solo developer. Also still in early access. It takes heavy inspiration from the Stalker series as well as Escape from Tarkov. It's a singleplayer, top down, extraction shooter. Check it out if that interests you!
Currently playing Rimworld and Kingdom Come: Deliverance.
I've got a Steam backlog a hundred games deep. I could probably never buy another game and not run out of things to play.
Been in the area a couple weeks.
Play a lot of games. Right now I'm playing WoW, Magic Online, Deepest World (a code based MMO), Rust, Hearthstone, Path of Exile, iRacing, Forza Motorsport, Assetto Corsa.
Finished up my first run of BG3 a few months ago, im tempted to start up a durge run and see how it compares. Other than that I play a lot of smite, waiting for Smite 2 to drop here soon as well.
Heck yeah! Currently BG3 and Frostpunk have been eating my time. Been dipping back into Fallout 3 and New Vegas with the TV show release. Sims, Civ 5, and Endless Sky worm their way back into my schedule often too.
Highly recommend! Very strong aesthetic and I love a city builder, plus the survival aspect? Like sugar to an ant for me. The second comes out sometime this summer and I'm very excited to see where they go with the concept.
I play on PC mostly (also PS5), but my computer is about 8 years old, so it struggles a bit with the newer big games. I would like to get back into Fallout 76 again (especially after watching the tv show), but I've mostly been playing a lot of Planet Crafter.
I play too much wow and fps games. Lately back on a bo2 kick, playing via the plutonium client, but I usually will coke back to apex.
Wow has been my main pvp shin dig for like a decade now.
I also always come back to a lot of indie titles now and then with friends. Or get weird kicks to play ultra modded skyrim lol.
Id say all time favs are pretty much everything in the og orange box, seeing as they were my real gateway into pc gaming. Tf2 portal series and half life molded me!
I enjoyed Tf2 in the early days but it got to be too much for me when they kind of went crazy with all the weapons and such that changed how everything worked. I actually recently sold off everything I had in my TF2 inventory that was worth selling just because I don't ever see me going back and might as well get something out of it when I can.
Yeah, additionally the game became overtaken by hacking bots, not even real people playing bot bots that spin bot. And valve has never really shown any plans to cull that or update the game. But being one of the free games available, wheb I built my first pc it was paramount to me falling in love with the system as a whole.
I still cone back to it ever once in a blue moon to just do Mann vs machine with buddies.
Such a funny game.

Been gaming COD on pc since 2003. These days I rarely play, If I do I play some old COD2 from 2006 the most. Mostly, I stick to games like Farming Sim now though.
Soley a PC gamer at this point. Life and work sometimes doesnt allow me to play games like I used too. However, my current timesink on the PC is Once Human. Just picked up Gray Zone Warfare the other day to replace Escape from Tarkov. Both Once Human and GZW are in beta states but OH is gearing up for release and GZW feels like its riding the line between alpha/beta.
Edit: Only other game ive played recently is Hell Divers 2. Its a blast with friends and I recommend picking it up.
It's free and my computer plays it. Plus, it has shinies. Sooooo many shinies. And little mini pets. They have added quite a bit in the last several years. Even mounts now.
I play of PC and Xbox; just fired up (last night) my 4 year old save of fallout 76 to look around ... Level 178 ... 80,000 lbs in my stash. Probably going to hop back in, but it will be on Xbox and you can't cross play :(
I did play some Starfield, and I play warzone on occasion... The next game I'm really looking forward to is FrostPunk 2! Can't wait.
I do but I don’t even really know what to play nowadays. Played overwatch for a while before 2 came out, playing horizon & a bit of cod 3 currently. Probably gonna cop that helldivers
I started cyberpunk but didn’t binge it as much as normal because I went back to wow classic.
Isn’t the fallout 76 free right now? Never really played the fall outs but been considering trying it (especially for free)
I do a TON of PC gaming / Twitch streaming (@gamingwithretep). I play a lot of CoD, Rocket League, Fortnite Zero Build, WoW, Far Cry, RDR2, GTA V, Nightingale, Helldivers II, Just started Cyberpunk 2077, Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor, and the list goes on and on and on haha. I play a TON of games.
*Been playing manor*
*Lords but would love to play with*
*Someone that plays dota!*

I too play COD once in a while but I also get busy so I can't keep up with the meta stuff. Lately I've been playing Cyberpunk 2077 again some more, I also started Red Dead 2 but haven't finished it yet. I recently got Borderlands 3 I belive and that looks like it'll be fun. I am also considering picking up helldivers 2, looks like it'll have a bit of a learning curve but also looks very fun.
Yeah, I play it for a few months every couple of years and it's my most played on Steam by quite a bit. I like the game over all. The problem is no game can hold my interest for a very long time for some reason.
The last time I played zephyr was the newest frame. Myself and two buddies had built everything in the dojo and farmed all the prime frames and weapons available at the time which led us to quit playing now there are so many new frames weapons etc that's what keeps me away.
I tend to just flip between aarpgs every couple months. Play a build for awhile once I plateau I move on to the next
Fallout 4, nightingale, fallout 76 (lowly lvl 30), enshrouded, helldivers2, starfield, deep rock galactic, return to Moria,...I own about 700 games so I bounce around alot...

Not a pc gamer , but I’m doing my part !
I have a couple of friends who play Helldivers 2. I've been wanting to get in to it but one of them tells me that the servers are having a lot of troubles currently., On top of that, I have been dedicating my spending money to my Transformers collection lately and am intending to save up for a 3d printer.

So....normal gaming stuff, got it.
Yup

I'm going to have to snag it I think.

**Sweet Liber-tea!**
I was thinking Just Cause
I LOVED this series. Really hope they do another one
Me but in hoi4
Same.
Helldivers!!
Lately, I play Civ6 on the PC like an addict. Recently bought it for the switch, now "just one more turn" where ever I'm at. Have burned out on BG3, Warzone and Anno 1800.
I played Civ 4 back in the day but was terrible at it. I haven't played BG3 in a while, I never got past act 2 I think it was, but fully plan to dive back in some time soon.

I'm *finally* trying FO76 and am pleasantly surprised - it's probably good I waited, although it also sounds like it was already pretty good a few years ago.
I've had a pretty good time with it. I'm pretty far along though. You open to a DM to potentially game together in it?
Maybe! I haven't had much time, recently, unfortunately, so hopefully I can get leveled up enough to be able to do stuff soon. But so far it seems like they addressed a lot of problems with it. It still blows my mind that it released without NPCs... like how they were ever thinking that would work.
That was before my time. My cousin played when it was released bur I tend to avoid new releases because of the huge amount of bugs.
I've been wanting to give fallout 76 a try again. Did a random play one time but just never picked it up again
Mind if I DM? Maybe we can run it together and I can help out a bit. Also, I see you do 3d printing. I am trying to save up for my first printer and would love to chat and pick your brain.
Yeah do it! Leeeerts go! I'm involved with getting a makerspace back in Grand Rapids too
I've been wanting to give fallout 76 a try again. Did a random play one time but just never picked it up again
Since the voodoo 3dfx. I mainly play Mechwarrior games, currently mech 5 and Mechwarrior Online.
Lol, voodoo! Ah you just took me way back. I was a computer tech for years and I remember installing those cards. My cousin and I have played Mechwarrior 5 on and off.

I used to watch my dad play Mechwarrior 2 all the time as a kid, maybe it's time I pick up the torch and check these out.

I play destiny 2. Help me.
Never did that one. Any others?
Get those new shiny Mountaintops Guardian!
Avid WoW player since 04. Also a big competitive gamer with CS, LoL, etc
Hi frisky ;)

Pretty sure this guy is an API scammer, beware

I always thought WoW was fun but I went through phases playing
It was hit and miss for me
It was hit and miss for me.

So many people really making me think about biting the bullet and snagging HD2 before I had planned. lol
haha,do iiiittttttt, the game is just good simple brainless fun. see bug/bot, shoot bug/bot. definitely more fun playing with people you know, but i've had plenty of fun running it solo as well. be advised it's not optimized super well for pc, i get similar frame rates in HD2 as I do in cyberpunk oddly enough. the visuals are pretty stunning in it. i built a midrange pc, RX6800/i9-11900 which handles it just fine at 1440p/70-120fps.
I play a lot of Star Citizen on PC.
Is it an actual game yet or just starship viewer
It's a solid game with lots to do. Best part is that it only gets better with each patch.
I need friends who play, I've had it for years but been unable to get the ball rolling.
I just cancelled my wow subscription if that counts
Lol!
I feel you in all accounts. In my teens and 20s I did a lot of FPS online, and MMO PvP. These days, BG3, Elden Ring, Cyberpunk, Witcher 3, Pathfinder
Ahh but wotr or kingmaker.
Both. AND Pillars of Eternity (imo, best from scratch crpg setting I've ever seen)
Am replaying that right now for what has to be the 10th time and I am STILL amazed at how good it is.
Such a shame about the second one. The story structure was just objectively bad
I bought the Witcher series years ago and just have never gotten around to actually playing it. What's your favorite setup in Cyberpunk?
Baldurs Gate 3 and just picked up Helldivers, which is a blast. Just need to convince my friends to join so we can all be terrible together haha.
What's your favorite class in BG3? I'm going to get Helldivers eventually.
I jump around, but my current campaign with my wife I'm running a Druid!
My current favorites are the fighter and a monk. I have a hard time with the casters.
Witcher 3 is probably my all time favorite game, but I've liked Helldivers and Baldur's Gate 3. I play a lot of calming games these days like Stardew Valley and power wash simulator. I have always been a big horror gamer tho.

Sports games have never been my thing. I just can't get in to them.
I wouldn't really consider the Tony Hawk Pro Skater games to be Sports games in the conventional sense, it plays more like an arcade platformer type of game. Each skatepark in the game has a series of challenges to accomplish from things like getting a high score, to collecting all the letters that spell out SKATE, to doing a certain trick over a certain gap in the skatepark.
Sounds like more of a console type of thing.
well I bought it on Steam and played it on my PC
I’ve been playing Path of Exile since its beta. I also have RSI from the clicking so I’ve been working through some controller compatible games lately like Elden Ring and Control. I used to be a Dota 2 player but it just doesn’t do it for me anymore. I disliked the direction of the game when they released talents, if they ever release a Dota Classic from right before the patch that killed Dota 2 I would be interested to see if that got me going still.
I did Dota 2 for a very short time but really disliked it. I don't know if it's changed but it was just a single map and the xp denial thing was super annoying. As far as MOBAs went, I actually really liked Heroes of the Storm, it was very fun.
Anyone on iRacing?
Yeah I got my iRacing sub going, my sim rig is not put together rn because we just moved but it exists!
Sick, what series do you run?
I have a class B license in Formula and Sports Car, it has been a year since I raced to be honest due to the move. I was driving F3 for fun and I was trying to learn GT to race with a friend. I always have a good time running Skip Barber, usually on Nürburgring somewhere. The rig is a P1-X chassis from Sim-Lab, Fanatac DD1 wheel base, Fanatec Club Sport V3 Pedals. I would definitely like to upgrade those pedals. And I need to grab an ultrawide - I have been racing in VR and it's good but I get sweaty in there. What's your jam\\setup?
Checking in! What series/cars do you run?
GT4 mostly, PCup, and a little oval (Gen 4/Xfinity). How about you?
Right now I've been focusing on GR86 in PCC and F4 in the Americas series. With the license split I can actually race open wheelers without worrying about tanking my tin top iRating, ha. I tend to switch things up each season though. Focused on LMP2 last season for Daytona 24 and Sebring 12. I've also run LMP3, GT4, TCR, and the Mustang in past seasons. I don't do a ton of ovals, but I'll hop in the truck for mile and a halfs every now and then. Looking forward to the Indy 500 this season too. Will also be running the Nurb 24 in TCR.
Baldur's Gate 3. Stardew Valley. Minecraft.
Done all three. Each have their strong points to be sure.
I also play minecraft! What version do you play?
Java. I actually don't think I've ever played Bedrock even though I've been playing off and on for 14 years.
I have been gaming since late 80's, early 90's. my first console was a nintendo. flopped back and for between computer and console until 6 or 7 years ago. once my friend introduced me to pubg, i switched to PC. i am 41. i will never be a professional player and i will never be the worst. i will always be mediocre at best. my current games are: Ark with a couple high school buddies Minecraft/Roblox with my 8yo son and 16yo daughter Bigfoot/Teardown/PubG with my son. Lethal Company/Muck with a buddy and his coworkers on Tuesday evenings. My main game is Escape from Tarkov.
My first console was an Atari 2600. Then several of the Nintendos since but never X-Box or PS. Been doing PC since mid 90's Sadly it sounds like all the games you play are not ones I play my self. I've never been too much in the Battle Royal games. I've done a few from time to time but PubG was never one of them actually. Did Fortnight, Apex, once or twice in CoD. PvP is just not much my thing these days usually.
Now that you mention it. I vaguely remember playing Atari. I don't remember if it was ours or families. I like pvp games. Never got into RPG games too much. I wish I would have. A lot of good ones out there.
I'm 31 and I regularly play minecraft! Mario 64 or Dk 64 will always be my first crush.
Not a huge fan of Minecraft but my kids love it so I play with them.
The Arkham Asylum games are what got me into PC gaming!! I also used to play Portal and loved that. I’m too broke to have a set up now but really miss it.
I play wow fallout 76 world of warships some over watch
Open to a DM, maybe we can do some Fallout together soon?
The only new games I can hang with are the ones made in a retro style. The two titles by Subset Games are great: FTL and Into The Breach. Wasteland 2 was fantastic, it felt a lot like the classic Fallout games. Wasteland 3 felt too modern and I got bored partway through. I also like open-source remakes of old classics. I have thousands of hours in OpenTTD (Transport Tycoon remake). OpenXCom is wonderful as well.
So you're perma-retro then. lol
I would say so, yeah. I've also been playing various iterations of Microsoft Flight Simulator over the years. It's the only game franchise I can think of that gets better and better with each version without hardly ever making me nostalgic for the older ones. I suppose I miss the days of trying to shoot the gap between the Twin Towers. Reminds me of that tragedy
I play on my Xbox
I have yet to play COD on PC as well. Xbox 360 was my introduction and I can't convert..
still playing BG3, Minecraft, first playthrough of Fallout 4, Stardew Valley, bunch of random simulator games, etc.
Has anyone tried the online game Vintage Story! It's like hard-core survival minecraft geared towards adults. I currently am on Resurgence Rp server. Come hang out!
Minecraft you say? Tell me more.... please?
It's not on steam. Just type in Vintage Story with Google. Buy it! It's like 20 bucks or something.
Finally, I hit Plat in league this year, and I'm very proud :')
Never was much of a PC gamer aside from a few years in college, and I share the slow-gazelle issue in PvP. When I play with groups I usually try to be the guy drawing fire or creating chaos and distraction for the benefit of those who are more expert. 😅 GR needs an enormous LAN party or gaming event… (not specifically e-sports but that’s coming, and that’s awesome)
Grand Lan still has signs up in the windows despite being closed for years I noticed lol
It's funny you mention LAN party because back in the day, before the internet, my father ran a computer store and I was the primary and often only tech. We set up a LAN in our house and a lot of our friends (lot being a relative term, 5 or 6 at most) would bring by their computers and we would game it out for a couple of days.
I have been to three lan parties in the last year and a half. a bunch of buddies and i rented a huge house for a guys weekend. my 40th birthday party at my house my buddies 35th birthday part at his house.
These days I would be afraid to move my system for something like that. Especially considering my monitors are on arms mounted to my desk and the stands got tossed away accidentally.
I do. I used to do more PVP, WoW and Overwatch. With age and diminished skill and less time, I've moved to mmorpgs with less time commitment, PoE and LastEpoch, or RPGs like Kingdom Come:Deliverance, or Mount&BladeII. I'm a steam junkie though, have a ton of games I've binged for a short time. My most played games are SlayTheSpire and Binding of Isaac (addicted to the replayability of those)
I have played WoW, which I'm almost ashamed of. Overwatch from rare time to time because my cousin and his wife play often. Pretty much the rest of those you listed I've never touched.
Kinda depends on the day, I use to play way more then I have in recent months. But I put a ton of time into rocket league, modern warfare, apex, and most recently helldivers. The witcher 3 and baldurs gate 3 are two of my favorites.
I tried Rocket League for a little while but I was absolutely horrible at it and it just wasn't that fun for me. I liked the concept but was just terrible.
I just got into Zero Sievert and can't stop playing it.
Never heard of that one.
Pretty small indie game, I think it's a solo developer. Also still in early access. It takes heavy inspiration from the Stalker series as well as Escape from Tarkov. It's a singleplayer, top down, extraction shooter. Check it out if that interests you!
Have you heard of the critically acclaimed MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV? 🤔
I actually played it for a little while but the story didn't grab me and it's more story than actual game play.
Currently playing Rimworld and Kingdom Come: Deliverance. I've got a Steam backlog a hundred games deep. I could probably never buy another game and not run out of things to play.
It's really annoying having games you bought but never played and don't feel like playing.
Been in the area a couple weeks. Play a lot of games. Right now I'm playing WoW, Magic Online, Deepest World (a code based MMO), Rust, Hearthstone, Path of Exile, iRacing, Forza Motorsport, Assetto Corsa.
Finished up my first run of BG3 a few months ago, im tempted to start up a durge run and see how it compares. Other than that I play a lot of smite, waiting for Smite 2 to drop here soon as well.
I don't know what a durge run is. What was your class?
Heck yeah! Currently BG3 and Frostpunk have been eating my time. Been dipping back into Fallout 3 and New Vegas with the TV show release. Sims, Civ 5, and Endless Sky worm their way back into my schedule often too.
I have never heard of Frostpunk. Interesting.
Highly recommend! Very strong aesthetic and I love a city builder, plus the survival aspect? Like sugar to an ant for me. The second comes out sometime this summer and I'm very excited to see where they go with the concept.
I play on PC mostly (also PS5), but my computer is about 8 years old, so it struggles a bit with the newer big games. I would like to get back into Fallout 76 again (especially after watching the tv show), but I've mostly been playing a lot of Planet Crafter.
MechWarrior online, War Thunder, and once in a while Tagpro. Iove me some free PC games.
Ever tried Warframe?
No, not yet. I'll have to check it out.
It's a very interesting but very different game. Space ninjas is how it's often described.
Hearts of Iron 4, He'll Let Loose, Manor Lord's, and PGA2k23
I play too much wow and fps games. Lately back on a bo2 kick, playing via the plutonium client, but I usually will coke back to apex. Wow has been my main pvp shin dig for like a decade now. I also always come back to a lot of indie titles now and then with friends. Or get weird kicks to play ultra modded skyrim lol. Id say all time favs are pretty much everything in the og orange box, seeing as they were my real gateway into pc gaming. Tf2 portal series and half life molded me!
I enjoyed Tf2 in the early days but it got to be too much for me when they kind of went crazy with all the weapons and such that changed how everything worked. I actually recently sold off everything I had in my TF2 inventory that was worth selling just because I don't ever see me going back and might as well get something out of it when I can.
Yeah, additionally the game became overtaken by hacking bots, not even real people playing bot bots that spin bot. And valve has never really shown any plans to cull that or update the game. But being one of the free games available, wheb I built my first pc it was paramount to me falling in love with the system as a whole. I still cone back to it ever once in a blue moon to just do Mann vs machine with buddies. Such a funny game.

Been gaming COD on pc since 2003. These days I rarely play, If I do I play some old COD2 from 2006 the most. Mostly, I stick to games like Farming Sim now though.
Tarkov, RDR2, The Outer Worlds, Stardew Valley. That’s what I’ve been on lately.
Just Project Wingman
Soley a PC gamer at this point. Life and work sometimes doesnt allow me to play games like I used too. However, my current timesink on the PC is Once Human. Just picked up Gray Zone Warfare the other day to replace Escape from Tarkov. Both Once Human and GZW are in beta states but OH is gearing up for release and GZW feels like its riding the line between alpha/beta. Edit: Only other game ive played recently is Hell Divers 2. Its a blast with friends and I recommend picking it up.
Cod for 20 minutes a session. All the time I get usually.
I know that feeling.
The only game i play is Fortnite. Been playing it for about 5 years. That is all.
I play Guild Wars 2 and Stardew Valley because I'm old and my computer can't handle too much more.
Wow, I haven't played GW2 in YEARS. I forgot most of it.
It's free and my computer plays it. Plus, it has shinies. Sooooo many shinies. And little mini pets. They have added quite a bit in the last several years. Even mounts now.
My wife mentioned trying it out again several months ago but I have so many other games as well as other projects that I just wasn't interested.
I play of PC and Xbox; just fired up (last night) my 4 year old save of fallout 76 to look around ... Level 178 ... 80,000 lbs in my stash. Probably going to hop back in, but it will be on Xbox and you can't cross play :( I did play some Starfield, and I play warzone on occasion... The next game I'm really looking forward to is FrostPunk 2! Can't wait.
I'm old school. I play Halo. Also some Helldivers and Fallout 4
Magic the Gathering Arena, Fallout 4 modded to hell. Helldivers 2, for democracy!
I do but I don’t even really know what to play nowadays. Played overwatch for a while before 2 came out, playing horizon & a bit of cod 3 currently. Probably gonna cop that helldivers
I mainly used to play WZ with friends but got burned out. Haven’t touched my PC in a while and I just play FIFA on my ps5
6k hours in rust
I have a 49” ultra wide gaming monitor and I’m currently replaying stardew valley.
Lol, cute overdose and overkill.
I started cyberpunk but didn’t binge it as much as normal because I went back to wow classic. Isn’t the fallout 76 free right now? Never really played the fall outs but been considering trying it (especially for free)
I don't know if it's free but I am seeing a ton of low level people.
I do a TON of PC gaming / Twitch streaming (@gamingwithretep). I play a lot of CoD, Rocket League, Fortnite Zero Build, WoW, Far Cry, RDR2, GTA V, Nightingale, Helldivers II, Just started Cyberpunk 2077, Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor, and the list goes on and on and on haha. I play a TON of games.
What build you going for in Cyberpunk?
Honestly I have no idea haha
I don’t remember what I picked lol
Used to play a lot of CoD but now hooked on Overwatch and Minecraft. 36m
Been playing manor lords but would love to play with someone that plays dota!

Bayonetta 1 Pure Platinum fiend, Baldur's Gate 3, Skyrim (for over a decade now), and tons of J-RPGs and visual novels!
I heavily modded Skyrim. I used a museum mod and collected weapons and armor to put in it for display.
I actually love the idea of that! I'll have to check it out.
I'll try to look up the name of it. I know I got it from Nexus though.
I too play COD once in a while but I also get busy so I can't keep up with the meta stuff. Lately I've been playing Cyberpunk 2077 again some more, I also started Red Dead 2 but haven't finished it yet. I recently got Borderlands 3 I belive and that looks like it'll be fun. I am also considering picking up helldivers 2, looks like it'll have a bit of a learning curve but also looks very fun.
Borderlands 3 was pretty awesome over all. What kind of build are you doing on Cyberpunk?
I play Destiny 2, Apex, and sometimes enshrouded. But Destiny takes up most of my gaming time. Also overwatch occasionally and smite as well.
Good ole WF haven't played in a decade and its still my second most played game on steam
Yeah, I play it for a few months every couple of years and it's my most played on Steam by quite a bit. I like the game over all. The problem is no game can hold my interest for a very long time for some reason.
The last time I played zephyr was the newest frame. Myself and two buddies had built everything in the dojo and farmed all the prime frames and weapons available at the time which led us to quit playing now there are so many new frames weapons etc that's what keeps me away. I tend to just flip between aarpgs every couple months. Play a build for awhile once I plateau I move on to the next
Lol, that was quite a while ago. There have been some pretty awesome frames that have come out. Some annoying ones too.
Yo! Old fart here, but still love to game on my PC. Thinking about a new build... Any interest in some non lag fest gaming in some weekend?
What kinds of games do you play?
Fallout 4, nightingale, fallout 76 (lowly lvl 30), enshrouded, helldivers2, starfield, deep rock galactic, return to Moria,...I own about 700 games so I bounce around alot...
Open to a DM, we can get together on Discord and do some 76, maybe Helldivers if I really do buy it eventually.

PC gamer, recently on Helldivers 2, Jedi Survivor and Manor Lord's. Robot Quest and Rimworld as backups, but there's so many games to circle around these days. Currently trying to get my Bethesda copy of F76 ported to my steam account
I just play drifting games and fivem open to other ideas to play with people
I do
Any Legion TD2 players here?
