What Game Are You Currently Playing?

I never play zombie games. Not because I don’t like them but because they give me the creeps....I even struggle to watch the Walking Dead sometimes.
 
Matthew, I much prefer medieval/fantasy to sci-fi but as a console peasant I take what I can in the realm of strategy. Can't you bombard planets to bits to reduce populations?

Just defeated the Hulfir Berserkers. So the entire galaxy now is the federation, assorted vassal and protectorate states, with just three others: an empire that likes me a lot, one that dislikes me but whom I would annihilate in a war, and the fallen empire of the British, who are right next door to me...

Quite liking the mostly peaceful and research-focused approach.

Don't know if this will interest you but I'll post it anyway

Found this as a follow on to my last post. It's the Fantasy General 2 prologue free to download and play. I don't know if it's available for console but if you've got a PC you can stick it on, you can try it out for nowt:)

Everyone's got their limits. For some, that'll be zombies; for others, vampires; werewolves; purple T-Rexes; etc.

This will get closed down if it continiues, no doubt, so I will limit my response to this post then move on. However, why is it forced? Ellie is cannonically gay, no? That was quite clear in the DLC for the first one.

Also are there any heroes in the game? I mean Ellie kills and steals indicriminately in her quest, to get revenge for Joel. (Who went through a battalion of people in the first one.)

The retort is in your mailbox.
 
I'm back on WoW. Group of mates are moving to a new realm, so I'm getting set up on there ready for the next big expansion. Gaming does eat into the writing time so much that I physically have to control my environment and dismantle the PC from time to time so I can't game forever. WoW's especially bad for that -)

a friend of mine said his wife threatened to divorce him over his WoW habit. he used to get up at five and play til seven before going to work.
 
Cheers. Foxbat, although I never play game son my PC (too much chance of distraction, so I like having a gaming-specific device). I'll see if it's out for PS4.
 
I’ve resorted to trawling the internet for advice on HOI4, given my inability, as Germany to invade Britain in 1937, having knocked the effete French out of the war.
 
After being asked to return so much, I told my friends if they found out my estate was still around, I'd return to playing Final Fantasy XIV for a while just for them. It is, so I'm returning once more. Will need to either find a guild or create one for myself, get back into RP, and finally go back to raiding treasure maps for some sweet gil.
 
Horizon Zero Dawn on PC - my gods this game is going up there with Witcher 3 as an awesome experience. The story writing is good (not Witcher 3 good but solid entertaining writing); the questing is good fun; the world feels big without being overwhelming. There's lots to do the characters are really very well done and the gameplay is very entertaining. Roaming the wilds and having to keep awake because of roaming beasts; watching patrol paths; planning how to take down big ones and having to actually think it through and not just charge in blind. There's a lot to love in this game and the PC version makes it very pretty. Though my system can't really do it on top settings, but it does a very good job overall.

Be nice if/when they patch it up and deal with some of the niggles - slowdowns to happen (esp in towns) and getting more performance out of it for smoother and superior play will be great.

Overall if you've any interest in roaming the wilds populated with walking robot animals and huge robot dinosaurs; hunting then; riding to battle; one person against the world etc... Great fun!
 
Horizon Zero Dawn is on my list of games to download, so I might do so this weekend. I saw a YouTube video that explained the back story and it sounded like very good Science Fiction.
 
Due to building up forces for fear of the British, I was well-placed when the late game crisis unfolded and managed to crush the invaders. Still got to count down the clock, which is a bit tedious, but right now things are looking good in Stellaris for a first win.
 
The British? In space? I hope they still pause their inexorable conquest every now and then for tea and cake.
 
Ironically I created them as my first empire, then they showed up as the superpowerful fallen (since awakened) empire in my current playthrough. The mini-bio I wrote for them didn't reference cake, but did mention cricket, tea, and interstellar violence.

I think every British English player made that same empire for their first playthrough :)
 
I may have to make AstroFrance, just so I can beat the French ;)
