It takes a little time to start introducing you to the unique parts, it feels a little afraid to alienate traditional shooter fans but once it gets rolling nothing is quite like it.
Pretty much my only fps game, and has been for the last 7 years. Other fps games may have had my interest for a few months, but I just keep coming back to Titanfall. The gameplay mechanics are by far my favorite.
I could hear that gabeN is running an underground fight klub in his basement and my opinion of him wouldn’t change. the man is a national treasure and the savior of my childhood. godspeed, Gabe! 🏎️
Decided to give cs2 a shot, probably haven’t played CS since shortly after csgo was released. Community seems worse, but do those reflexes kick back in even when you’re an old man, and hearing the laments from young people as you mop the floor with them is an unexpected joy.
I haven’t played CS2 yet, but since it’s an update/expansion/molting of CSGO, you’re going to have a rough time with the community until you’re out of “silver hell”. Once you rank up enough that you’ve gotten away from the spamming kiddies and smurfs, it’s a better time. At least until you reach ultra high rank where people start taking the game too seriously, but floating between Gold Nova and Master Guardian 1 ranks is the most fun place to be.
I realized that after my long strategy gaming atrophy, I wasn’t ready to just jump into XCOM2 with War Of The Chosen content.
I decided to take it slow by playing the first Firaxis XCOM, with no DLC. Just plain vanilla.
It’s been a good priming for more complex strategy. Vanilla XCOM is friendly (perhaps too friendly) to stacking overwatch, with missions rarely being time sensitive, and the time sensitive one’s being very generous.
I still lost a few rookies early on, but I’m very close to beating the game. I already have a suitable psionic soldier, I just had to turn off the game on Sunday before I could build the special psionic armor.
I’ve got a squad of colonels with the stronger perks, best weapons and gear, and I’m ready to assault the alien HQ.
I’ll probably replay with Enemy Within DLC, and then move to XCOM 2.
Playing Baldurs Gate 3 at the weekends with my partner, midway through act 3!
Meanwhile playing Lies of P on gamepass for a couple of hours each day after work. Just got to the grand exhibition, it’s actually an amazing souls-like
I’m so excited to start BG3! But my co-op buddy doesn’t have a gaming PC, and it’s delayed on Xbox. It’s ok though, because we’re still enjoying a campaign in Solasta, another CRPG based on D&D rules, although with a much lower budget than BG3.
In the meantime when I have gaming time and he doesn’t, I’ve been playing through DOS2 on the Steam Deck and with some mods. It’s scratching the itch at least!
