Any PC Gamers Around?

[g33k]

I've been going through the opposite. I am big into open world games. Fallout and Borderlands are my favorites. My wife recently got back into gaming after about eight years of not playing.At first we played Diablo 3 since couch co op is not split screen. We bought a second Xbox to play games together in the beginning it was Halo Master Chief Collection and now we are playing Borderlands 2. She is enjoying it but is just playing though it like Halo. She'll often ask why are we doing this or that. Difference in someone that mostly played RPG games than straight FPS I guess. All in all playing games together is fun we are barely at the point where we have to save Roland so still in the way beginning. I wish my PC character could sync over.

I just played through and beat Witcher 3 with all expansions. Didn't do EVERY mission, but I did do most in my 115 hours of play. Definitely a clever game. Glad I bought it. However, Fallout 4 and the Fallout series in general are just much more engrossing.

Also, a couple days ago, I loaded up Wasteland and started to play. Man, I could have played for hours. Right now, I'm eyeing the Shadowrun RPG series. I played console versions long ago. I'm temped to play, but got shit to do. Witcher 3 already hurt my sleep schedule badly.

I got Wasteland 2 for Christmas. You have to be into that sort of turn based game but it is so reminiscent of the first Fallouts that I can't help but love it.
Was not happy with the graphics and interface at all but then discovered that if you bought the base game before the directors cut version was released then you could just download the upgrade. Made all the difference in the world!

I laughed. Fallouts are reminiscent of Wasteland. Wasteland 2 is reminiscent of Fallout. I never played with the updated graphics, but I may someday. They successfully did a kickstarter for WL3. I'll probably buy it. Still, original WL is just... sublime.

Also, I have two Metro series, two Portal games, and Saints Row IV to play (haven't played any of them).

I never played the first Wasteland. I will give it a try.

Have you had a look at Just Cause 3?
The JC3 world isn't as interesting as Fallout or Borderlands and the missions are all very similar but there are no loading screens when transversing the massive world. (There are loading screens when starting and ending a mission.) As an open world it is quite an achievement. I have seen a paramedic giving cpr at a random intersection. I find it a fun game. 238 hours and counting.

It's horribly dated, of course, but a work of art. Like listening to Velvet Underground.

Oh I don't mind dated if the game play is there.

Yeah I have one of the Just Cause games can't recall which one. I know for a fact it's the one with the online mod. I did enjoy that game but I can't remember where I left off all I know is I didn't finish it. I am one that doesn't play games at launch either only game I bought at launch was Arkham Knight which I'm currently on my first playthrough. I never finished Skyrim either just kept modding it and enjoying the side missions and the exploring. I've been thinking of replaying STALKER but with one of the mods. I've played vanilla and complete mod. I think the other is called Misery. Woah just saw that there is a team working on an online co-op mod. In all honesty I believe that is the game that turned me onto the RPG type games, it was my first game when I built my first PC.

It's important to get the paragraphs book. Use the accompanying hint book. It's fantastic.

Heads up- in Assetto Corsa you can now create custom championships. So if you want to do a GT86 cup you can do it right through the game. There aren't many tracks in AC but I made a 6 round championship

Steam has it for $9.99 and will run under Windows. It would most likely still run under DOSBox as well (DOS emulator for windows).

I've run WIndows 1.0 under Windows 10 using DOSBOX just to show my kids how awful it really was.


(OK, just read the Steam reviews, looks like the port sucks. Probably not worth the money).
