What other games are we all playing?

I think I enjoy the look because I'm an anime freak, but the mobile feel is undeniable (yes, no microtransactions!). LOL It really is a much deeper game than it appears on the surface, and the grind, if it can be called that, is much less soul crushing than ED, for example. I haven't finished the main story yet because I got super distracted by ED, Surviving Mars, and rediscovering Baldur's Gate II.

I really liked Mary, because she's kinda like me, just not as asian. :ROFLMAO:

I'm not exactly an anime freak but I certainly enjoy me some good anime. So yes, maybe the whole bubble-gummy graphics style plays a role in all this as well.
Most characters are actually surprisingly nice, tbh. But if I were to choose my waifu, it would probably be Emma or Sam.
I haven't dipped into relationships, yet, though, (except that one date with Merlin, which is a part of the main questline) because I am so far too focused on building and doing contracts, because obviously I need to beat Higgins every year. :LOL:

So... I was playing Scrap Mechanic until past weekend when I tried to raid a warehouse and it's extremely buggy. It's still in development and there are some serious performance issues at times, so I gave up for now... and installed Virtual Box and some other stuff and started programming in C++ again... doing some stupid projects (like my own programming language... LOL!) ... only just because. Grind code instead of grind game. shrugs

Hey, if you're into programming stupid things, you can try creating something as simple to use as Java but in C#. Unity devs will shower you in gold. :LOL:

Succumbed to the steam sale and bought COD WW2, Prey (remake) and Asseto Corsa Competizione Intercontinental GT4 DLC.

COD WW2 is very disapointing, Looks worse that AW and IW in many ways, characters don't look or move as realistically, animation is particularly poor.....ACC DLC is amazing, 3 of my fave tracks ever (Bathurst, Laguna, Suzuka). Havn't raced Kayalami since a WSB game yonks ago and it's quickly becoming a fave. Not played Prey yet.

The other day I was playing another game AND Elite, thanks to the twenty minute wait period between jumps for my fleet carrier. ED on PC while playing something else on PS4.

Now while it might sound I'm complaining, I'm actually not. I found this much better than watching a NDE screen saver 100 times in a row going from point A to point B. At least FC travel doesn't waste my time, as I can be doing other things while the carrier slowly warms up for its next jump.

I've tried Noita. And I suck with it. It was quite frustrating but I stuck with it and improved a bit. The mechanics are quite obscure but on the whole there is a neat, fun gameplay behind it. There is a couple of things I find uneccessarily hard / annoying but the fun with blowing up stuff is heavy in favour. A fair amount of RNG might add to the odd frustration but in turn you get increased replayability.
Main gripes:
No health pickups (or super rare)
Gold loot despawns after a short while

Due to the declining health of my desktop, I've been forced to remove many games off my disk.

Being old, and poor, I can't throw away a month's rent on a basic desktop.

Additionally, the graphics intensive games I love won't run on my laptop. ED's base version just does. Horizons does not.

Fortunately, I have all my data backed up, on multiple drives. Also, my purchases on Steam and GOG are still there. The simpler games can be restored.

Just when I had finally convinced my group to play Elite as well. Sign? :(

What exactly is wrong with your desktop?
I have several PCs worth of parts just lying around here. I would gladly get rid of some.

Dying MB, HD going bad, power creep for new apps. It's all backed up, and the system is on a UPS. It's not a matter of spare parts. It's a matter of a machine facing the 5 stages.

Good news- I got the base Elite to run on the laptop, with lowest setting for graphics. So, I can still play with my new group.

I've had quiet a lull in playing Elite over the last month but it's picking up again. During that time I've been playing, Last Of Us, Project Cars 2, The Evil Within 2 and emulated games also.
I am probably going to pick up RDR 2 on steam as I loved the original and will spend the rest of summer flitting between that and Elite.

I always pick up a few games during the Steam sale. I'm leaving my current home with fabulous internet and heading to my new property in a few days which will have extremely limited internet (in terms of speed, not data), and since I'm unaware of how that's going to effect my download speeds, I picked up some games and got them installed just in case that becomes a problem. Probably several years worth at the pace I've been gaming lately lolol.

A few notables were Final Fantasy XV, Shadow of War, Hardspace Shipbreaker, Jedi Fallen Order and The Hunter Call of the Wild. I also re-downloaded a bunch of stuff that had been gathering dust such as Dragon Age Inquisition and Mass Effect Andromeda

That is a great selection of games.
For the chuckles I've tallied up my hours in these games (I've played al of them except the Shipbreaker).
Final Fantasy XV - 150 hours
Shadow of War - 55 hours
Jedi Fallen Order - 85 hours
The Hunter - 210 hours
DA: Inquisition - 460 hours
ME: Andromeda - 170 hours
---------------------------------------
Total - 1130 hours

I'd wager that will keep you entertained for a bit. :D

The desktop showed 117% fragmentation on the SATA C:\ drive.

First time I'd seen that...didn't think that was possible. Running disk repair now. I think the MBR has been at my meds...

The laptop can run Elite between 24 and 48 FPS, and 60 FPS when idle. Minimum graphic settings are used. The native MB graphics are holding up.

Lots of smaller games to play.

So if I own Stellaris (I do), is there no point in buying Endless Space 2 or Galactic Civilizations 3? Answer quickly, as the sale ends today!

Endless Space is a unique IP. The Endless franchise has fantasy offspring and features a dedicatedly outstanding music composer (FlybyNo). Uses classic instruments in various arrangements. I recommend listening out to some stuff. I consider worth having it for the music alone. ES 2 itself is turn-based and a step up from ES 1 in my eyes.
GalCiv is nothing I would spend a penny on.

In a fit of madness, I’ve returned to Mars for a little while. I don’t normally chase achievements, but for some reason I’ve been doing so in Surviving Mars. I’ve finally completed the “Space Capitalism” (the rarest one to get) achievement, and I have every intention of completing the last two: “Dream of a Green Mars,” and “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?”

Steam Sales eat at my soul, because these are such good deals, but I already have a library full (for a minimalist) of games I haven't played much yet, so I'm resisting the terrible temptation!

Seriously, it will take me a lifetime to play all unplayed games on my PC and PS4....
