    Currently attempting a marathon playthrough of the main campaign of Danganronpa V3 and am about halfway through it. I had bought it for PC, but since my 16L13 is out of commission, I got a the Vita version since it's compatible with the PSTV. The mysteries are as good as ever, the minigames are improved, and the characters are more interesting than those in Goodbye Despair. Overall, I'm liking it better than Danganronpa 2, at least so far.

    Still on my D:OS run so I can try to finish it before buying D:OS2. It feels good to be back on the EVOC. MBP15 served me well in the interim but it's not even in the same league as playing it at 4K on a 1080. :)

    The art style maybe. It has the borderlands problem: fun with friends, boring by yourself. That's probably the main thing holding it back for some people.

    Concur on Borderlands. Once through by myself was fine, just to soak in the world, but after that couldn't play alone. I've got a little group at work that will probably play this one if we all get it.

    I appears that the new South Park game now offer season pass too. On the other hand, why am I surprised, it is being published (and made) by Ubisoft...

    I just finished Grim Dawn not long ago. I have to say I was kind of fatigued by the end I don't think I can start that expansion yet. (I did get it though since I backed them back when it was a campaign on their own site, then Kickstarter)

    EDIT: I did LOVE that Blackwater Cocktail though.. I basically overpowered that as my main attack and it seemed to be a little too OP honestly.

    On a Ghost Recon: Wildlands for a last few days... It's a totally weird feeling. I am either too noobish for a 3rd person shooter or any Far Cry is actually way better than this.

    I feel you, great game but even though it has great visuals, I'm still a bigger fan of the previous game, Limbo.

    Am currently bouncing between Cuphead, revisiting the Crysis franchise and Broforce.

    OK, actually playing D2 now. It's a lot of fun though it feels a little slow coming from the other shooters I have been playing. Also had to remap the keys to not feel weird. Other than that I'm having a great time with it.

    It amazes me that Wolfenstein seems to be the luck of the draw if you get it to work. 5 of us bought the game 4 of us get the blasted black screen of death. All of our specs are well above the minimum but it simply doesn’t work. Good thing Steam is good about refunds. Took the refund and got Destiny 2, simply WOW.

    If you ever purchased Golden Eagles, we have something in return:

    150 GE if you purchased 1000-5000 GE (during the whole time you have played War Thunder)
    500 GE if you purchased more than 5000 GE (during the whole time you have played War Thunder)

    The reward will be given once after you win any battle from November 3rd to November 6th.
    You can check the amount of the GE you have purchased here

    FAQ:
    Q. Do I need a specific amount of GE on my account to get the bonus?
    No. All the GE that you purchased during the entire time you played War Thunder will count.
    Q. I don’t remember how much GE I purchased.
    PC and Steam players can check it here and PS4 players here (bound accounts only)
    Q. I won some GE during specials, do they count?
    Only purchased GE counts - either as a separate item or as a part of a bundle or a pack.
    Q. I checked my GE purchases and I still don’t have enough GE, can I still get a bonus if I purchase them now?
    You can still do it while the special is live.
    Even more!

    From November 1st (11:00 GMT) to November 6th (11:00 GMT) there will be a special event where you will be able to get a unique decal and a 3d decoration!
