      Went old school this weekend, PS1 and Wipeout, and I inherited an old tower PC with XP and a disk drive, dug out a long buried copy of Command and Conquer.

            I have it on Steam, but don't have a PC that will run it right now, so I'm stuck with Fallout 4 on survival mode.

              Loved the thousand year door when I played it on the 'cube. Just a ton of variety and a great sense of humor in that one to keep it interesting.

            Finally picked up Pokémon Violet. First mainline Pokémon game since Sapphire. Literally spent all day playing it today haha. I think I liked arceus a bit better, but the scale of violet makes up for it.

            Also started playing Don’t Starve Together every Wednesday with one of my old college friends and his roommates. Only played it twice now but it’s a lot of fun.

              So. I started poking at the demo for Granvir. It's being featured on the Steam " what's next" showcase.

              It's not yet released, but the demo is up for grabs.

              It's a rougelette mech game where you build and customize your mech from scavenged battlefield parts as you trudge across the map. The more you do in levels the higher you get your escalation numbers which scales game difficulty.

              I can see myself buying this onthis it releases under $30

                  I went through the first installment. It was good. I do kind of wish they had leaned more towards the turn based fighting of the original though. There's just nothing else in video games like it any longer

                    I was very skeptical going in — but they did a great job with the combat system. And you can basically pause the game everytime an ABT bar fills. You get ample time to choose your party’s actions. The combat sequences flow much better as a result. And once you build up the ABT boost matera, you can basically pause every few seconds.

                    It’s worth mentioning that this game has quite a bit of filler though and they stretched it a bit. If they would’ve have done 100% turn based — the game would be twice as long like Baldur’s Gate 3. Some of the battles can drag on forever. Even a battle with low level enemies can be ridiculously long waiting for every character to turn.

                    A lot of RPG games have modernized their combat systems in the past ten or so years. You can definitely see the western influence on FF7 remake. Namely aaa open world games like The Witcher 3 (similar combat system) and Fallout 4. And that’s a good thing. I think there are plenty of isometric turn based strategy out there. I actually prefer RTS and this new wave and evolution of RPG into action RPG. Once you learn the combat systems it makes the battles feel more real and immersive and everything flows better.

                      I was playing a crapton of HellDivers 2. Then all the sudden Foxhole sucked me back in.

                      I hate that game, I hate myself, its like reverse fruit cake. It's just brought me back in.

                          My wife has been playing Destiny 2 with someone she works with. I've played it for about a hour so far and don't know how I feel about it yet.

                            Your wife plays shooters! Get her out for some Paintball..

                            I tried that game but the learning curve was so high I got aggravated with it.

                            Mine prefers COD Zombies, although she will play Fallout 4 sometimes. I played the first Destiny, never really got into it.

                          I've found myself playing the original Doom and Doom 2, mostly custom .wads from DoomWorld.com. Some people are still making some good ones to this day. I found an app that let's me play on my tablet with a keyboard (Delta Touch for Android for anyone interested, its like $5.)
