Post by: Jarhead0331 on June 03, 2016, 04:48:55 AM


ARMA 3, the Witcher 3, Maybe some Combat Mission Shock Force or Black Sea?

Heroes of the Storm, Stellaris and hopefully some Pillars of Eternity.

Mostly the following games: Master of Orion 4, Grand Ages Rome and Oriental Empires.

I may try something completely different from my game Library, like Star Wars X-Wing or Sherlock Holmes: Nemesis for a change.

Good tune JH.

F1 2015, TW:Warhammer and I imagine something else - no idea what. Strategy? Driving? Flying? FPS? No freakin' idea  :idiot2:

VASSAL work.

Twilight Struggle PBEM with Jason.

Finish putting car engine back together and start her up.  :D

I work this weekend as usual, but whatever free time I have will be spent playing Stellaris.  And if at any point I manage to tear myself away from that, Warhammer TW. 

And vice versa. 



I anticipate these being the only two games I spend any significant time with in the foreseeable future.  ::)

Starting tomorrow I'm playing a new game. The ultimate Strategy/Horror/Survival game. It's called, "Family Vacation". Rated PG for, "Please God let everything go smoothly". See you Grogs in a week.  :smiley6600:

Not really sure what sort of gaming mood I'm in this weekend. Stellaris, Diablo 3 and Overwatch will all see at least some attention. Will be picking up Steam and Iron for a Jutland 100 stream. Had planned on doing it the other night but was too busy with work this week to fit it in. Time permitting Elite and/or KSP may see some action as well.

Still have the rules for Falling Sky that I need to read.

I'm in a city building kind of mood so after a lot of pondering I think I'll have a go at Grand Ages Rome.

Oh and probably some of this...

Attempting to take a short break from World Of Warships, I may get back to some Armored Warfare.  Maybe Mechwarrior Online or Fractured Space now that it's gone public?  I dunno.. something a bit faster paced for multi-player matches.

Have way too much for single-player:

TW: Warhammer
Sengoku Jidai
Stellaris


Also just re-loaded on my laptop, after replacing the hard drive a short time ago:

WH40K Chaos Gate
Baldur's Gate 2 Enhanced Edition
Pillars Of Eternity
Darkest Dungeon



Plenty options!  Just confused about which to do. 

If too indecisive then it may be time, again, to paint some board game minis.  Tends to bring some focused detachment.  :))

Yeah, I'd been playing the heck out of it since picking up the Sector Zero expansion (which I did after watching that Let's Try video series by Army Pea from Explorminate).  I'd probably still be playing it were it not for the release of Stellaris and Warhammer TW; it feels like a pretty solid game now.

Dunno what else.  Maybe some Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate.

Well I know I have work as usual and that's a "game" I love playing. But I have short work days so no biggie.

I might be just playing Stellaris since Patch Clarke was released.

Got some of the lawn mowed.  Finish the rest in the morning.  Civ it up for the rest of the weekend and see who falls out for mp.  And keep praying that VI is going to be compromise enough for me, that Tuna and Barthheart will want to play again.

I ended up playing Planar Conquest and I'm actually having fun with it. I haven't encountered any bugs yet. My only complaint is that the interface is still a little quirky but I can put up with it. I've seen people complain about the graphics but I think they are okay.

Managed to get in a few solid hours of Dragon Age: Inquisition. Beginning to feel like I'm finally making some progress. Actually completed one entire region.

I love it, but it's taking me forever to play. Just finished with the Storm Coast today and that took me weeks of intermittent play.
Title: Re: Don't Come Around Here on Friday
Post by: Gusington on June 05, 2016, 03:32:20 PM
I think I have about 50-60 hours invested in it and only tapped about 25% of the game. It may actually be one of those games that is too big for its own good. Pillars of Eternity is similarly structured if not as advanced graphically but I found I could wrap my brain around it better and I like the PoE atmosphere a little more.
Title: Re: Don't Come Around Here on Friday
Post by: mirth on June 05, 2016, 03:46:42 PM
I'm a huge Dragon Age fan, but it's taken a long while for this one to really engage me. At times it's felt like a chore.

I'm my own worst enemy with this kind of game though. I feel the need to chase down every stupid little side quest. If I just stuck with the main story missions, I probably would have been done months ago.

My first run in with a dragon was exciting and very short. I moved on from the Hinterlands after that and worked on leveling the party. I'm ready to head back now.

Playing Triple A (Axis and Allies open source clone) with my son and Commander: The Great War as the Central Powers.  I've just managed to knock Serbia out of the war and am frantically redeploying the Austrian army Northeast/Northwest to exploit a recent breakthrough in the south of Russia and to get deployed and fortified before the Italians join the Entente and declare war in the next 10-14 weeks!

I was in the golfing mood today so I played my favorite game ActionPC Golf game where I helped Tiger Woods shoot a 60 at TPC Summerlin.....I bogeyed late, which caused me not to get the illusive 59:(

If I only could do this well in real life....60 for me is just playing the front nine....

Post by: Gusington on June 05, 2016, 05:49:18 PM
I also play my rpg's with a very high dose of ocd. Thing is, a lot of the missions in Dragon Age, and Pillars of Eternity, are really interesting. I haven't read so much in a game as I have in PoE lately and its extremely well done. Damn you, skilled PC game writers! I dare say the lore in PoE is even a bit better than the lore in Dragon Age.

Well, I played a bit of Saints Row.  Monster Hunter didn't get a look-in.  My weekend has been devoted almost exclusively to Stellaris.  Even though the cracks are finally showing even through my wanton fanboyism (sector AI is very reluctant to build sometimes, alliance mechanics can be frustrating), I just can't tear myself away.  It has issues but it's still an extremely good game.  I love it.  I don't even mind the ship builder which I normally hate in this kind of game.
