What computer games do you play?

I personally like FPS games like Serious Sam and Painkiller series, as well as Strange Brigade, and something akin to, say, the Half Life series. Lately, there's been a drought of such games and I'm feeling it. I do appreciate some games like Dead Space, Cod series, Doom series, and have gotten The Calisto Protocol and will get CoD MW II as well, though I ain't playing The Calisto Protocol on my dinky laptop and squinting continuously at its 16" screen. 

But lately, I feel like my interest in games has waned somewhat. I've the parts for a nice upgrade for my main gaming system, and to build a 2nd all AMD gaming rig to boot. But, I feel like this is my last upgrade as I have other interests in life.....namely, food!

Cool. You mean food as eating it, or cooking?

Really started to enjoy Battlefield 2042 - helped that I snagged it at the appropriate price when it was deeply on sale when they did a Free-Play weekend.

I just finished Jedi: Fallen Order and it was great! Still making my way through MGS: The Phantom Pain.

I really liked this game, but after first 8 or so missions, I didn't know what to do. Supposed to build my base on that oil rig, hire people or something like that but couldn't find out how to do next mission, simply stuck.

Yeah, I do not like that part of the game. It took a bit of figuring out. The worst part is where there is a sickness that spreads through your crew and you have to start isolating them. I almost quit at that point. I think I am still at the part.

Yeah, I wish we could just skip all that crap part and just do missions.

Okay turns out this Corp is in an all-out war with another alliance.
That was not what I was expecting.
Their aspirations are quite higher than mine as  well... might be time to find somewhere else to hang out.

Started playing High on Life, so far hilarious and the character interactions are what I expected.

Should've played that when I had Gamepass. Forgot and my sub ran out.
Will get around to it at some point it seems hilarious.

Main draw for me was the voice actors - that alone was my draw to the game, also it is visually amazing.  I can't wait to get home to play further into it.

Been playing Cult Of The Lamb.

It's like they had a subpar crafting and town game, and a subpar overhead roguelite, and combined the 2 games into one good one. I don't think either side of the coin could stand on its own as a great experience, but together it works. Very cute game with some fun thematic designs like sacrifice, cannibalism, coprophilia.
I do think the pacing needs some serious work though. I never have enough, or can collect the needed resources fast enough to build any of the unlocked buildings further up the skill trees. Plus the followers are very needy, you go to dungeon for 1 round and come back to chaos or death every time in the mid-late game. Each day goes by too quickly, and that negates so much of the advanced unlockables because you are constantly struggling to keep up with the resources grind.

The game needs some rebalancing in terms of pacing, but has an enjoyable and addictive loop of caring for your followers and dungeoning. I don't know if it's worth the full asking price in it's current state, but if you can get it on sale it is a great way to kill a weekend.

Loaded up SpiderMan - Miles Morales yesterday, so far digging that as well and now I plan to load up the regular one as well once I get home (I game hop alot when it is late in a season for Destiny 2 so I don't get burned out on that).

[phinix]

Did you guys play Valheim? Is it worth getting into it?
I looked at it and it may be something nice for a while, but wanted to check.

Age of Empires 2: DE. All. the. time.

Hunt the Wumpus FTW. Get yr game on like it's 1973.

Seriously. Try the free, no-ads version available for Android, it's really good and highly configurable. Totally stomps on the lame Apple Store / iPhone version.
