Yes. I've never played any of the games because it seemed too geeky, even for me. I should give them a chance I guess.

The Crew 2 is on sale for $1 US on Steam. I'm not a big racing game fan but for $1.50 CDN I might as well.

OMG…I am likely very late to the party on this but I just discovered it…In GTA V, if you sit on your couch as Michael and put the tv on and just leave it on, you’ll see some great stuff! Space Rangers and the ads are incredible! I had no idea and I’ve owned the game since it came out.

The game intrigues me.

pretty close to 100% of the videogames I play are based on recommendations/word of mouth or cause they're sequels to games I played previously. I didn't know Warhammer also existed in the less dorky digital realm.

I didn't play any of the other ones. This one feels to me like Gears or War and if you like GOW then this is great fun.

Most of the 40K video games, including the Dawn of War RTS are extreme machismo.

After no lifing arguably the best season i've played I decided to try my hand at Hardcore Solo-Self Found Ruthless which is just dumb since I don't think I have ever completed the campaign without dying in regular let alone regular hardcore. So far though i'm in Act 5 and only a couple close calls. The lack of drops and movement gems and everything else ruthless introduces should be a huge turn off but I find it makes me play the game at a much slower pace and actually enjoy any upgrades I find. I know i'm going to lose this character soon and I don't think I would play hardcore again but I think I will make another SSF Ruthless character after this.

I completed all my goals for the league already, and as a send off, sent out my final large shipment and got 2 mirror shards and 9 divines from it. While I have no interest in Ruthless, I applaud you for trying it in Hardcore, lol. I'm pretty well done for the league, but I agree that it is the best league I've ever played.

Can't wait for PoE 2 in November. Onto WH40k: Space Marine 2.

I really should finish the first. I've started it at least 5 times.

You really should, I really enjoyed it.

Also started the FFXVI demo on my PC but it crashed out, need to update my drivers I think.

I know what game you mean, but when people say "the first God of War" I still think of PS2...

I never did finish GoWIII on my PS3. I remember once going to play a game, waiting through patching, finally getting into the game and realizing my save was almost a full YEAR old.

I had no idea where I was or even how to do anything.

Rather than restart I just ejected and started a different game lol, with YouTube these days you can find out what happens by watching someone else play.

That’s me with DLC. Elden Ring? Loved it put in a couple hundred hours at least but I hadn’t touched the game in what felt like over a year when the DLC came out. Had no interest in going back to start over. I’m sure Wukong (on NG++ now) will be the same way when alleged DLC comes out in February

Psh, Warhammer is great. I mean even Superman is all in on it. Enjoy what you enjoy, it's always a great time to game.

I didn’t mean geeky as a pejorative. I was never into tabletop gaming.
