    Post whatever game you're currently playing. Maybe it will spawn some curiosity from other users who find it interesting.

    Currently I'm playing... nothing.

    Well, actually planning on the new Tomb Raider game. Downloading now.

    Squad -- now I was a kickstarter backer and have been playing since the close pre-alpha. This game is really starting to take shape even in it's early access alpha state.

    Currently I'm playing the same game I play every damn night - trying to sleep. So far it sucks and the repetitiveness is getting on my nerves.
    Will provide full list of my video games tomorrow. Well, later today that is. Or technically earlier. Or whatever. IDK.

    I've been eyeballing it since I learned about it few months back.
    Is it pure PVP or are there plans for PVE?

    Purely PVP at least for now, I'm not sure of any plans of implementing PVE as I haven't read or heard that.

    Lets see, my entire list of installed games and their current status:

    FSX: Self explanatory. Always there, depending on time or mood do either a few "flights" a month or a week.
    The Witcher 3: Sits there waiting for Blood & Wine expansion. Otherwise don't currently play it.
    Fallout: Currently on hiatus.
    Rainbow Six Siege: Don't play it as much as I used to when it just came out, but still do a few PVE rounds from time to time, just for fun.
    Cities: Skylines: Been playing if very actively for the last week, but now, since my city started to go to crap, play it less and will prolly drop it until new addon comes out. For the downfall, just like a true Genesis fan, I blame Phil Collins. Should have never named a district in his name...
    Euro Truck Simulator 2: Also not an "active" game. Just like to drive on occasion.
    A Hideo Kojima game by Hideo Kojima, made by Hideo Kojima, directed by Hideo Kojima, produced by Hideo Kojima, voice acted by Hideo Kojima, programmed by Hideo Kojima, bought by Hideo Kojima, played by Hideo Kojima... Hideo Kojima: Also another active game I played for the last week. Finished all side quests, will complete the remaining two annoying replay missions, and after that will get the uninstall. Tried MGO, very mixed feeling about it.
    Middle-earth: Shadow Of Mordor: First few hours were great, but now it just sits there. Will play it again later.
    Pillars Of Eternity: Like Fallout, it's also currently on hiatus. Will continue playing once done with other games.
    Wolfenstein: The New Order: Wow, what a game! Almost finished (currently on final boss stage) and not sure what I will do with it afterwards - give it the boot or replay in a different timeline.

    For this weekend I have Tom Clancy's Division. Will see how I like it.
    Thought about buying the new Tomb Raider game dat booteh and dat gap!, but decided against it. Will wait till they release all or majority of crap for it, and buy it this summer.

    On T100 I have Heroes Of Might And Magic III Complete, Doorkickers and Fallout 2, just to kill some time when visiting parents.

    Now If you excuse me, Division awaits me!

    Got into Cities Skylines after I got it on the Steam sale. It's the Sim City that I was wanting.
    Still also playing a few matches of Killing Floor 2 here and there.

    I really want Cities Skylines. I've been dying for a good city sim. When I was a kid I used to spend my lunches in the library playing SimCity 2000. I'm glad I never bought EA's mess because it would have ruined it forever.

    SimCity 2000 was one of the all time greats. I bought EA's new mess too, the biggest problem I found was the map sizes were depressingly small - that put a stop to the fun pretty early on. You simply couldn't do any building in it.
    If you loved SimCity 2000 you won't be disappointed with Cities Skylines. Plus there's heavy mod support if you're into that.

    Playing DayZ. It improved a little but not enough. Love open-world survivalist games, though. And it's still fun with others.

    I am currently playing World of Warships and it's really great!
    Last week I bought an XBox360 Controller for Windows PC for the fun of it (I have always been a KB+M player) and used it to play through Galaxy on Fire 2 FHD, and it was great!
    Now I am using the said controller to find my way around in Elite: Dangerous. The controller does the job very well, however the scale of the game is a bit overwhelming for me; hopefully in time I'll get better at it.

    Anyway, World of Warships, gentlemen. Good game, looks nice, F2P (and NOT P2W!), and obviously it's a multiplayer game, so if any of you would like to play, you can find me as, of course, Marecki_CLF (Asia-Pacific server). :)

    Go for it and buy the game. You will not be disappointed. Word.

    Just started Rise of the Tomb Raider, which looks gorgeous even though I don't have every setting maxed. It runs buttery smooth especially with G-Sync.

    Say what you want about Square Enix, but the quality of their PC ports has been nothing short of phenomenal. My expectations for Deus Ex: Mankind Divided are now sky high, which probably isn't a good thing. :rolleyes:

    Yeah I'm enjoying Tomb Raider as well. My kids were watching me play and asked if it was a movie, lol. Although when Lara gets speared through the neck isn't a good thing for kids to see... oops.

    I thoroughly enjoyed the Tomb Rider 2013 (my first one from the series) so much that now I'll get the older versions and play them till I get a new GPU for this one.

    Drop the resolution and increase the eye candy. I was fussing with it on my 940m and can run 960x540 (1/2 res of 1920x1080 LCD) and can run medium details fine at 30-50 FPS. Sure to play it in all its glory a higher end GPU is needed but not necessary. Or do you just want high res butt images? lol.
