Divinity: Original Sin 2 has been a great game, beat it once already and started it again in Honour Mode, there has been few scary moments that were bit too close, but I'm still alive

I just finished the first one a few days back, and it was amazing! I wish my graphics card could handle the second one. The music in the game is very well done, and I love how much you can interact with the environment.

I started with the second one and I'm going to get the first one right after I have some money to actually spend, I wish I started with the first one, but I don't regret buying and playing this one first

on consoles? My younger brother got me the Bioshock remaster on ps4 for Christmas, I'm up to infinite now, the series holds up pretty well, 2 is still the worst one.

On PC? there's this dumb little PvP browsergame about heaven vs hell called Nexus Clash that I've been having fun with lately, it's by the guy(s?) who made Urban Dead, not many people play it nowadays unfortunately.

I got a vr headset which got me distracted on playing actual games, I plan on playing No One Lives Forever but atm VR and marathoning through Boardwalk Empire got me preoccupied.
 
Prey (2017) is really good. Bethesda should keep publishing games that are better than theirs, but probably start marketing them too. I've been a huge fan of the first BioShock (and the second one to a lesser extent) since it came out and was extremely disappointed by BioShock Infinite. Prey feels like the BioShock 3 we deserved. Suck my dick, Ken Levine.
 
Currently playing Celeste and it's actually a pretty cool game.

It doesn't touch super meat boy in terms of complexity, but it definitely scratches that itch.

Is it necessary to trade at all in PoE to approach the end game? That was one thing that turned me off since the devs refuse to implement trade improvements that stop that whole annoying loop of contacting AFK traders, bots, or people who are listing items just to push the price down.

The PoE devs designed the game around the trading economy, so yeah it's kinda necessary if you want to enjoy the end game "meta-builds". The AFK traders have been addressed (they've nixed AFKers from appearing in the API trade site), but there's still a shit ton of sniping and price manipulation for currencies, hot uniques, and div cards. The devs will probably never fix trade too much because it keeps items artificially scarce and the power curve more level: so more people will play longer and not get BiS top gear ASAP.

They do now have separate seasonal Solo Self Found (SSF) leagues for Softcore and Hardcore; where you can't trade or form parties (you can turn this off at any time and join the regular temp league, but it's a one-way street). It's not easy though since you have to assume you'll find no build-enabling unique item randomly through your playthrough. It's a challenge, but I lot of people enjoy not having to worry about the economy.

Personally, I like playing the economy till I get bored with the seasonal temp league. It feels like a fun minigame within the game. Though if you want to just play without all the trading bullshit, definitely go Solo Self Found for the challenge.
 
i've been playing west of loathing recently, and as of now i just got to frisco. i'm fighting the urge i get whenever i play an RPG to make a new character and see what i missed, because if i do i'll never finish the god damn game.
 
I got like 50+ dollars worth of Civ 5 DLC on steam winter sale and I recently have gotten super into the historical scenarios. Civ is one of those games you can play for an entire and still not be sick of.

I also got Yumie Nikki for free on steam and I've been getting into that. There really is no other games like it around, the art style and the passion put into that game is amazing. No other pixel indie shit garbage made by Phil Fish type people come even close to that game

Fallout 3 and New Vegas with all DLCs. I don't like 4, so don't cuck me about it.

I recently replayed Fallout 3 and it's a good game but after you've played New Vegas you really notice the glaring flaws in it. You have better dialogue options, different ways to finish quests, much better NPC's and way more factions that you can join in NV. Bethesda has made shit games since Oblivion.

I'm actually trying to finish a normal run of Fallout 1 right now. The turn-based combat's annoying at first but you get used to it in time.

That aside, I've been honing my skills in Smash 4 and Overwatch. Lucas is my favorite in Smash, with McCree being my preferred Overwatch main.

Yeah the turn based combat is super hard to get used to if you didn't grow up playing games like that (I didn't) so FO1 and FO2 are fucking hard as shit to me but I still want to play them

The story and soundtrack are what really keep it moving.

Dude the freaking ambient track in fallout 1 is beautiful and super atmospheric, it really makes you feel like you're one of the last people alive on earth. I love it. The dialogue and story writing is top notch too. It's a damn shame that 95% of people who play fallout games will never play the first two because people don't want to put any effort into playing games they would rather play mediocre shit like fallout 4 or Skyrim because it's easy
