PhilHibbs Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 (edited) I'm mostly playing Elite:Dangerous at the moment, I'm on an expedition around the galaxy, got about two thirds of the way so far since October. Two alts back in the bubble but not active. I sometimes play Dyson Sphere Program, but I don't really have a game that is active at the moment. I also play Tribes on the iPad but that's just a simple mindless distraction game. Games that I have played quite a bit, that I might go back to but are currently dormant: Minecraft, Minecraft with various modpacks, Iron Brigade, GTA V. Games that I don't play any more: World of Warcraft. Still boycotting until I see significant evidence that the culture has changed, and still seething that Kotick got such a nice golden parachute. Looking forward to: RuneQuest, GTA VI. Edited July 17 by PhilHibbs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDLeary Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 Only Civ VI at the moment, but I am setting up a small Intel based server, partially so that I can spin up a Windows VM to gain access to more of the Steam catalog... Gladius is one that I've wanted to play, and I want to get back to Close Combat: Gateway to Caen, and also pick up Panthers in the Fog.

Ian Absentia Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 (edited) The Outer Worlds has gotten a lot of traction in my home recently, even though it was already sort of an oldie by the time I discovered it. It's a pastiche of Firefly + Fallout and it scratches the itch that I've had for Starfield that can't be scratched due to platform exclusivity. TOW is pretty, but lacks that totally open sandbox feel and endorphin reward/reinforcement of Skyrim (and presumably Starfield). Given the amount of meat-time that I've devoted to Skyrim in the last decade, that's actually a good thing. I stopped playing Civ VI because I found myself falling into exactly the same strategies that I developed playing I and II back in the '90s with exactly the same outcomes. My Aztec Empire will always reduce the planet to radioactive cinders. I'm a creature of habit -- mea culpa. !i!

foolcat Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 Apart from playing World of Warcraft with my son (retail; it has been on the backburner for a while now until the next expansion hits, I guess), the recent Machine Age patch brought me back to Stellaris (which is bearable only because of a mod I wrote to mitigate the changes of 3.3). I do so love me some robotic galaxy sanitizers, cleansing the stars from the stain that is organic life. 🤖 This past year, Enshrouded managed to pique my interest. I don’t normally play survival games, but this one is cleverly done, has a nice story, and is really pretty to look at. The building system is just gorgeous. I‘m currently contemplating whether to go down the rabbit hole of The Crust, a story-driven factory automation game on the Moon with some added economic simulation. But since it’s still early access, I feel no pressure to make a decision just yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the things I love about Paradox as a company is that when you buy a game, you get a new one every six months or so! Almost like being Gregged... 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lloyd Dupont Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 Adding in all the favorites of recent times: Diablo 4, Once Human, Overwatch, (a bit of) Helldivers 2, Hogwart Legacy, Potionomic, Baldurs Gate 3 Mmm.. that's why I have not been a productive GM! 😮 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susimetsa Posted September 14 Share Posted September 14 I try to play some of the games I've picked from Epic Games free offerings over the years. Right now going through LA Noire, which is a decent game, but I expected more... Of course, BG3 is also one of the current games and I co-op it with my daughter.

svensson Posted September 15 Share Posted September 15 (edited) Right this minute I'm playing Fallout London, BG3, Civ V, and I'm getting back into Star Trek Online. I'm waiting for Starfield Shattered Systems at the end of the month and am interested in Veilguard when it comes out. I'll probably give that last one a month to see how it shakes out before I drop $70 on it. The Dragon Age series has been about 50/50 for me. The first one was awesome, the second one was drek, the third was alright but still not to the level of the first. And, of course, I'm waiting with baited breath to see more from Mass Effect 5: Don't Eff This Up 😆 Edited September 15 by svensson 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(A quick shake of the Magic 8-Ball reads "Yes, definitely") Poots, though I've recently gone down the Skyrim rabbit-hole again with mods that allow me to live in a hollow log, hunt small game, and make furniture for a living. Ah, the simple life. If only random passers-by would stop trying to embroil me in realm-spanning intrigue and cataclysm. !i!

zanshin Posted September 21 Share Posted September 21 Skyrim, the most Runequest glorantha of all first person PC RPGs. I would pay inordinate amounts of money for a game like Skyrim actually set in Glorantha. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would pay inordinate amounts of money for a game like Skyrim actually set in Glorantha. In conversation on these forums with @Jeff there is apparently an RQ based computer game in development. Black Shamrock Games of Ireland is the developer. It's been several years now [the initial announcement was in 2019] and we haven't heard much news. But when I asked about it earlier this year I was told everything is moving forward on pace. Fingers crossed and all that. And as a side note, I would also love a CRPG set in Traveller's Charted Space milieu. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zanshin Posted September 22 Share Posted September 22 That's excellent news, fingers crossed it sees the light of day. So much great material to play in - things like seeing the Block or walking Stormwalk Mountain would give me shivers down my spine. Before Skyrim, I was hitting Field of Glory Kingdoms hard, which is a medieval realm management game at the (surprise, surprise) Kingdom level. If you like turn based realm management wargames, you should definitely check that and its predecessor Field of Glory Empires (300 BC setting) out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The connection between the two is widely acknowledged. In light of all the other world-altering Skyrim mods out there, I keep waiting for some genius with too much time on their hands to at least make a aesthetic overhaul so I can run around "Dragon Pass". !i! 3 Quote ...developer of White Rabbit Green Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lloyd Dupont Posted September 28 Share Posted September 28 I am playing the December 2022 remake of Master of Magic right now! 🙂 I had a sleepless night on it... Good that I did, because I just "finished" my Master of Magic ruleset for Mythras/BRP, but after playing the video game again... I have some update ideas that are needed, haha 😅😁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
