Hey all, you know the deal...
The other thread hit over 1,000 posts and we have server issues when that shit happens so here she be, a fancy new mega thread.
Anyway, just a quick rundown.
Post anything and everything gaming in here. Console games, handheld/mobile games or PC.
Playing something you love or maybe hate? Find a hidden gem on Steam? Let us know via a review. Try to make sure you give a good rundown on it. Graphics, sound, storyline, overall gameplay and replayability. Let's keep it at a 1-10 scale.
Thanks to all that left me awesome rep comments/posts and even pm's thanking me for the many reviews I wrote.
Just an FYI, developers do read our comments in here I guess. CD Projekt Red (of Witcher 3) was one that stopped by.
Anyway, thanks all for your input and as always, no griefing. [Reply]

It was cool. Gotta love a game with a skill named "Asshole."
I feel the same way. There arent many games anymore that I will pick up when they come out. I'll make an exception for Red Dead 2 but thats about it. [Reply]

For something different, try FTL. Greatest rogue like ever.

And yes the flight model is simulation.
SFC is much slower and deliberate - the ships are much bigger. It's more tactical than just straight stick twitching and although there are some weapons that manual aim you also have targeting systems that do stuff like that for you.
E: D looks like dogfighting which I'm not really into. [Reply]

This probably isn't what you're after, but are you familiar with Spaceward Ho!?
It's a turn-based strategy game. A little bit like Civilization. It's 15 years or so old.
Hehe. SFC3 is like 12 years old or so, which is the reason I'm looking for a replacement. I can't get it to run on any modern hardware and I no longer have a functional XP machine. [Reply]

Yeah, I'm not surprised. Someone I used to play it with said something about Spaceward Ho! to me out of the blue today and I read your post shortly after that so I thought I'd mention it. [Reply]

I mostly play starcraft 2. I play it weekly with a group of guys I used to play games with in college.
Sometimes I pick up games for a while here and there. Most recently I was playing Destiny 2 and Heroes of the Storm, but I haven't played either of them in a couple of months.
I'm old, I don't play games as much as I used to. [Reply]
I just solved some of my issues as far as game selection - got me a Windows 10 key and installed Bootcamp on my iMac. So now I should be able to run all Windows games natively if there's no Mac version. [Reply]
