Due to busy life barely turn on my gaming pc dowstairs, but I fired up my old laptop for a bit to mess around while misses a sleep.

Starcraft 2 co op missions - really love sc2, but I just cant dedicate time for it to play online. Sow that new co op mode and gave it a wee go. I have to admit, really enjoying it.

World of tanks - havent played it in very long time and mostly, because wargaming just does not bother with proper support of 21:9 resolution. Its grand to play on laptop. I was really shocked how well it runs on ancient laptop with i5 and 860m!

Factorio - again, gave it a break, but new patch is out and it has artillery train now. I just have to build that bad boy.

Started to play Elite Dangerous and then remembered I find it boring (luckily I remembered this about an hour after buying the expansion pack in the sales, sigh) so needing a space game fix fired up X3: Terran Conflict. Something about this game just does it for me even if it's clunky in parts and the starting phase is dreadfully slow. Looking forward to see if X4: Foundations makes up for the travesty that was Rebirth.

So I installed Bad company 2 on my laptop...

I just dont understand where did they went so wrong with all new battlefields. Bc2 is as amazing as it was back in the day and still a lot of busy servers.

I can only manage few minutes of bf4, before I get frustrated and quit, but I played for 3 rounds in a row today of bc2, even if my laptop is not that great at running it!

Its just fun. Feels great, looks spectacular when stuff explodes! Still best sound design from all shooters I ever played. Armour is limited, so you are not bum loved by tanks every 5 seconds. Time to kill is a lot better too. And no, its not rose tinted glasses effect. Game is just great.

Trails of cold steel

Tokyo Xanadu ex

Never played Battlefield 1 but by far the most enjoyable BF for me is BC2, it's all round epic game, the desert map was unbelievable, i played it to death. I remember how amazing the sound design was and getting shot by a tank gave a real saving private Ryan moment.
Where did it all go wrong with the future installments? i actually want to go back and play it again!

Taylor365 · 01-01-2018 06:44PM

Diablo 2.

New ladder and i'm hooked again

Remouad · 02-01-2018 12:01PM

Shadow of Mordor
Finally got round to giving this a proper go.
Really liking the Nemisis system. Adds great character to the game.
Although I do find myself distracted from the main quest line in order to get revenge on the Uruks that kiiled me.:D

Internet Friend · 02-01-2018 12:29PM

In the middle of Shadow of Mordor too (although it's been a few weeks). Nemesis system is great.

Finished SOMA last week, fantastic game, wasn't expecting the inevitable existential crisis! Still working my way through Skyrim SE, nowhere near finished after ~130hrs!

gizmo · 04-01-2018 01:43PM

14hrs into Dead Island at the moment.

So much promise wasted, so much jank...

Skip the Dead Islands and go straight to Dying Light if you havent played it already. Better in every possible way imo.

So I've heard alright. Playing Dead Island for science though as I like to see how series like these progress over various iterations.

If Riptide is literally more of the same though I'm going to be skipping the hell out of it.

They Are Billions - RTS where you establish and build up a colony, all the while defending it from ever-increasing zombie hordes. It's early access, and feels like there isn't much longevity there yet. But in the short-term, it's pretty enjoyable.

Been playing that too. Too many times I lose one building and the whole place gets destroyed

Yeah, the infection spreads bloody fast once it gets inside. I've put in about 18 RT hours so far, and have yet to get past day 25

Sephiroth_dude · 07-01-2018 04:05PM

Finished Tokyo Xanadu ex last night, fantastic game.

Working on trails of cold steel now.

Since getting my new card, I decided to move on from Wolfenstein and play Life is Strange. Finished Episode 1. I keep forgetting
I can rewind time so didn't help the bird or find a place to hide

Nearly a year later and I finally got back to Life is Strange. Just played a bit of Episode 2

KilOit · 18-01-2018 12:05AM

Still can't keep away from Pugb, new map is great and being able to jump over obstacles makes the game more fluid, still rubbish at it but got number 1 about 6 times now :cool:

Gone back to playing Rimworld too, such a fun game to lose yourself for hours

mordeith · 18-01-2018 12:08AM

Syberia 3. Game is decent. Controls are terrible.
Played 'Inside' a few months back. Absolutely brilliant. The atmosphere and game play are top notch

TerrorFirmer · 18-01-2018 02:25PM

I'm convinced Overwatch is the greatest game ever made. I haven't touched or even looked at any other game since I started playing, so it's actually saving me money as well!

It's the first game since Halo 3 (and I was a lot younger then too so that was part of it) I've been able to sit through marathon sessions without getting bored of it, the sheer variety of maps, heroes and team compositions makes it endlessly engaging.

And to think I dismissed it as 'not my type of game' until a month or two ago...amazing stuff.

flc37ie6ojwkh8 · 18-01-2018 02:27PM

I'm addicted to Second Life. At the start doesn't seem like much but after some time, can't quit it!

Sciprio · 22-01-2018 04:54PM

At the moment I'm playing Rimworld. At first it looked basic and boring but now i know how wrong i was. Great game.

It good. I always seem to get the same point every time though and get bored.

Addicted to Stardew Valley. Picked it up in a Humble Bundle pack but only recently started it. It's such a sweet game.

Kiith · 23-01-2018 11:25AM

Starbound and Warcraft again.

Installed the Frackin Universe mod for Starbound, which is great. Enjoyed it for about 10 hours, but it does fall into the loop that these games do (mine, upgrade, mine, upgrade) and the gameplay isn't quite up to other games like it.

Back with Warcraft again. Alternating between leveling some alts with the new leveling mechanics and messing around with various max lvl characters, trying to find a class i really enjoy. Down to Warrior and Rogue at the moment.

Internet Friend · 23-01-2018 12:03PM

Playing an awful lot of Kerbal Space Program again, kinda my go to for times when I feel stuck in a rut and not sure what to play. It's been that mostly with a bit of Skyrim SE thrown in here and there. Just finished Dragonborn at the weekend, so starting Dawnguard before polishing off the main quest.

ED E · 23-01-2018 05:39PM

Fortnite - Has its flaws but still very tense when you get down to the final 6 which is exactly what I want.

I find it helps to play challenges. Like starting on an ice sheet, or only playing with medieval weapons, only allowing female colonists, massive farms, stuff like that.

I had a guy lose it and he started to go on an eating binge even though i had low food. He was pretty useless so in the end i removed his legs. You can't eat all my food in storage if you can't walk.

Glebee · 24-01-2018 09:29AM

Had to reinstall windows onto PC so lost all my installed games :mad: . Hope the games saves are on steam, uplay, origin, etc. Only installed one game since getting it fixed last week. Warcraft: Legion.
