Anyone Play Video Games?

@Pooh-Bah - thank you for the suggestions, I like the sound of both of those games ...that's too bad to hear about Mass Effect, I only have an hour or two in so far - glad the first one is worthwhile at least. Cheers!

The good news is that none of the original trilogy are truly bad - First Mass Effect is amazing, the second one is solid, the third one is alright.
I haven't touched Andromeda.

Dragon Age peaks at Origins, declines rather sharply with 2 (plot is still good, but they only made like, six dungeon designs that they reuse constantly), and I made it maybe 20 hours into Inquisition before realizing that even trying to be a completionist was a fool's errand - I had only just touched the first major plot beat (narrative equivalent: when you're made a Spectre in ME 1) and threw my hands up in disgust.
I haven't touched Veilguard, and don't plan to.

I've been playing the heck out of:
RuneScape OSR
Age of Mythology: Retold
Diablo II: Resurrected
And now Diablo IV (which the kids got me for Christmas.)

My first post in a long time, and it's about gaming rather than pipes (priorities haha!). I've been playing games since Atari! Mostly, I'm a RPG and racing sim player, but I mix it up from time to time. Currently, I'm working through Final Fantasy XVII, MAFIA II, and Assetto Corsa Competizione. At 50 years old, I never outgrew the video game bug and I hope I never do.

I play on X Box One, I only buy games when they are on sale on the Microsoft Store. I don't even remember the last time I bought a physical disc, you can save so much more buying digital if you're patient. Right now I'm playing Darkest Dungeon, a roguelike gothic fantasy game. It's challenging but very fun when you get the hang of it, and there's even some pipe smoking in it:

In the process of building a shiny new PC specifically to play Skyrim with a pack of 4000 mods at near-max settings.

LoreRim in action on max:

I loved Galaga in 1982. Broke 1 million on score and rolled it over. Max score was 999999.

Is that what your talking about?

I enjoyed Baldurs Gate 3 very much.

Path of Exile 2 for me these days. Never played the first one but this is fun so far.

What builds you running? I put like 200 hours in the first month and kind of just waiting for 0.2 to come out, hopefully this month?

Assetto Corsa Competizione.

Do you have a sim pit setup or just use a wheel/controller? That game has an amazing Japanese Street Racing mod I've been wanting to play for awhile.

Nothing too serious tbh though I love the game for being complex enough for people to futz around with things. My first character is a mercenary. I’m using Voltuc Shards and grenades for crowd clearing and a combo of high velocity rounds and gas grenades for boss killing, putting a lot of passive points into bleeding.

My other character is a Ranger build but not sure what direction I’m going yet.

I play the souls and souls-like games with my son.

Bloodborne
Eden Ring
Dark Souls 1 & 3
Lies of P

Looking forward to Elden Ring: Nightreign.

Just a G29 on a small but sturdy frame. Someday, maybe soon, I'll have a better rig. But what I have does the job well enough.

Bloodborne

A masterpiece.

I just started playing my way through the Wasteland series. I was told to start with 2 and then go on to 3 before playing the original. So far I love it.

 

[Lumbridge]

I've been glued to Kingdom Come 2 for the past week. What a masterpiece.

I never played the first one, but I've so many good things about the second, I may need to.
