Yup. I'm old school!

You Are Enabler #1. I just ordered one.

Even though I have all the old systems in my garage storage they take up way too much room to bring them down and hook them up these days.

Just started Indiana Jones and the Great Circle on the pc. Wow the graphics are killer! I have set to HDR and DTS audio. Amazing. I think I going to like this one. Took a while like everything else on this new pc to get my audio to play dts.

I just watched the first 20 minutes of gameplay and this looks great.

I really only play a few games, and its sporadic at that. I tend to play alot for a little while, then put them down for a long time. I was playing Diablo 3 for the longest time. Then Diablo 4 was released and I eventually started playing it. After bumbling the launch of the new Spiritborn class, I tried Path of Exile 2 which is 'Diablo adjacent' as I call it. It's pretty fun, but still in early days so it's full of bugs.

Diablo 4 just released season 7 so I started playing it again.

I still play Diablo 3 some (PS4) and still like it. Haven't picked up Diablo 4 but I have heard some pretty mixed reviews.

Been playing MLB the Show 24 quite a bit. Got it free with the PS plus subscription.

If you want a really funny sci-fi PC game Portal and Portal 2 are fantastic. They are puzzle based, but the sarcastic comments made by the antagonist AI that your are playing against are amazingly funny.

I stuck with D3 for a LONG time. D4 had a lot of issues when it first came out. They've made a lot of improvements over the last few seasons, but this year they seem to have phoned it in.

Last season they banked on the Spiritborn Character DLC, but it was so much better than all the other characters they seemed to alienate a large portion of their player base. It took a really tuned build from all other classes to compete with an average Spiritborn build. People that didn't pay pay for the DLC quickly lost interest. This season things are supposed to be better balanced, but that's about it.

I've really been enjoying Path of Exile 2 bugs and all. It's supposed to be free on game pass when it eventually gets released, but for now you have to pay for early access. The druid looks pretty fun.

I very recently upgraded my computer and changed to Windows 11. So far I have installed the most played games. There are more I have yet to install but these are the most fun and have the best graphics.

The bonus with this upgrade is I can run all of them in 4K with the ultra settings.

Red Dead Redemption 2 - By far my favorite
Far Cry 5
GTA5
Assassin's Creed Odyssey
Assassin's Creed Valhalla
South Park TSOT

I wanted to love RDR2 but find the keyboard controls to be overly complex killing the immersion. Thought about trying a controller vut haven't used one in over 20 years. I'm diehard keyboard and mouse. Loved AC Odyssey but struggled to get into Valhalla. For some reason the movement seemed off to me. I may just install it again and give it another go though. I was disappointed to see the latest AC has returned to more of a our action game removing RPG elements of the last few games. With the RPG elements it reminds me a lot of another favorite which is the Witcher series

That sounds like good info so thank you. I have played a little of the 1st Path of Exile since it was free. May have to get back to that, kind of forgot about it. Maybe when it gets out try the 2nd one as well.

I am really impressed on how good my controller is working on pc! I have a 2 tb Sata ssd coming today. I going to attempt to install myself against my better judgement. Wish me luck.

I'm glad you mentioned AC Odyssey! I thought I had played it but have not. Last one I did that I liked was Origins. Bought Odyssey and expacs for Arizona and $20 yesterday. Really liking it. Not sure why but it's way better than Valhalla to me. I loved Origins too.

Yep. 1 -9 action adventure, 10-12 added a lot of open world rpg elements. Bummer with Mirage and another coming soon they dropped most the RPG elements again.

I am really enjoying this Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. Makes you think. Have to figure out clues and such. I also still playing Black. Being able to play my old PS2 games is cool. These games taking a lot of storage. I got a 2tb drive going to try to install tomorrow.

I’m going to have to get the Indiana Jones game on PS5 once available.

A main reason I like the Uncharted series on PS5 is because it reminds me of Indiana Jones.

Wish it had a 3rd person view option. I can't stand first person view. I don't know why but it really bugs me. Bummer as there are so many great first person games.

If you have an ipad or Apple? Try The Room. Puzzle game. Solving clues to move through levels.

Also ll, lll and IV

First is free. Rest you pay for. There's Chinese versions, so make sure you download the right ones.

Games get harder with each series

I just got it in and forgot how difficult some of the older games can get even with the primitive graphics.

 

[Astralogics]

One of my favorite sci-fi games has got to be Mass Effect. Still forever frustrated with the ending of ME3 though...

Otherwise, I always come back to World of Warcraft. It just gives me that itch that no other MMORPGs can scratch. Maybe it's just the fact it's what I grew up playing, but I honestly think nothing else comes close to it.

Kingdom Hearts and Legend of Zelda games also bring me lots of joy though. My two favorite childhood game series by far.

I always end up back at WoW too. I've had an account since launch. Have had quite a few hiatuses. Last one was about 5 years. Recovered account for Dragonflight and played up till a few weeks ago. Love the delves but things got repetitive to me again even with the new island. I'll do AC Odyssey and jump back in wow for the next full expac.
