    I've been kind of all over the place this holiday weekend.
    I played a little D:OS2, played some Everspace, then I played through Doom E1 using the latest Brutal Doom v21 beta. Man that was fun.

    I'm playing Persona 3 Portable on my Vita. This has been my first Persona game, and I love it. I'll play P4 Golden next.

    On PC I'm still rather addicted to Overwatch, but since I'm without proper internet at the moment I've been giving some attention to Barony: https://store.steampowered.com/app/371970/Barony/

    Rising Storm 2: Vietnam has a free weekend event, decided to try it out.
    As expected, being developed from Red Orchestra 1/2 and Rising Storm, it's a cool game. Unfortunately I'm not into MP shooters, so I will prolly give it a pass...

    God of War 2018, absolutely loving it. Played 3 hours today and didn't even do a main story quest.

    Playing Mega Man Legacy Collection 1 with my son, determined to beat the original Mega Man!

    So there I was... My first cold start... I had everything lit up and was ready to roll out to the runway. Cept the stupid jet wouldn't move until I got into burner where it began a sort of roll/bounce forward. I quickly flashed to something I had forgot, releasing the parking brake. I then released it and immediately noticed I hadn't pulled back the throttle because I was heading right toward and F18 parked across from me at oh-oh speed. After a brief moment of panic I chopped the throttle and gave it full rudder, I did miss the F18 but not the ditch on the edge of the pavement just past and to the side of it which was where I flipped my F18 and exploded. Pulling out of the hanger. Seriously. :)

    Why? The original Prey is a bit of a cult classic and seems to be loved by those who played it.

    It's not bad, but the 2017 version is on another level. I guess they are different enough though. Prey 2017 is almost like a system shock successor.

    thats the thing: if i go straight to the 2017 version ill likely never touch the 2006 version again :D so best to start off with the oldest one first ^^

    besides, itll be a good feeling for my 980M to play it fluidly at 4K with everything maxxed out before the 2017 version craps all over my poor lil GPU :D

    sounds pretty promising! especially the setting on earth :)
    btw, played through the first four levels of prey 2006 and i have to say im amazed! gameplay and graphics are oldschool FPS, naturally, but storytelling, level design and the spirit-walk thingy brings more creativity to the table than most current games, nice :)

    What kind of game can be beautiful without chopping or killing? It's impossible!

    On a more serious note, are you looking for such game (if so, which genre are you looking into) or are playing it at the moment (which this thread would suggest)?

    I mostly use computer for work.
    The only game i play in the last 15 years is Wolfenstein ET.

    But i am looking for a different game play\mechanics like the old days.
    Point and click Quest games.
    Simple, beautiful and achievements acquired by solving puzzles and combining stuff around.
    Most games today have the same mechanics. I m BORED!
    + I have a very capable machine and i want something new. :cool:


    edit:
    One game that caught my eye is Robinson: The Journey.
    Looks amazing but i read that it's VR only.
