    I hit LotRO really hard the first month and a half. Made it through 2 expansions and 1 Adventure Pack I didn't own.

    Just finished Borderlands 3 campaign (PC) and Marvel's Spiderman (PS4). Play a lil Deep Rock Galactic from time to time. Currently chipping away at Code Vein and Hades. Think I'll get Persona 5 Royal and Jedi Fallen Order when done with those, and then replay Witcher 3 and Horizon Zero Dawn when I finish that. Pandemic must be heaven for online game retailers, I know I'm spending like 2-3 times what I usually do since the lockdown started.

    I still need to play the Spidey DLC. Loved the game, but never went back to it after I finished the main campaign.

    Same!  I still have the 3 DLCs yet to do, and yea, the game is quite fun.  Worth the price of admission just to experience the traversal.

    I can't see me wasting money on anything newish,nothing looks very good.

    So i did a crazy run replaying all the COD games i own,great games.I love having a terrible memory because it allows me to go back and enjoy games i have already played 2/3/4x lol and feel like they are new.

    Just thinking about this thread made me realize that yet again i keep forgetting to grab the Metro series of games,so i guess that is what i will do for the next week or so is play a few of those.

    Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.

    Nioh, Total Warhammer, Amalur...you know, the modern classics. Might try Geheimnisnacht mod for Crusader Kings. It's not like I care about the RTS part of Total Warhammer anyhow. Most of the time.
    Just out of curiosity, you only play the TBS part of the Total Warhammer games and let the computer do the actual battles? And that works properly? I own both games but have hardly touched them because of these battles so that is why I am asking.

    'This does not apply just to ED but SC or any other game. What they will get is Rebirth/X4, likely prettier but equally underwhelming and pointless. 

    It is incredibly difficult to design some meaningfull leg content that would fit a space ship game - simply because it is not a leg game.

    It is just huge resource waste....'

    Over 200 hours of Destiny 2 last month. Eeesh.

    I think I'm going to switch it up a bit and give Vampyr a spin. Grabbed it on Steam for $15.

    As I took such a long break from ESO, that is my primary focus. What surprised me so far is just how much more open everything really does feel. I've stated a few times I hate level scaling, but the pros of the new design outweigh cons. There is just so much to do and I'm loving my necromancer class, level 42 right now, because it actually requires a little bit of thinking as far as the timing of the various skills on both bars.

    Other than that, I've been playing Asgard's Wrath on the Oculus Rift-S which is the best VR RPG I've played since enjoying Chronos a few years ago. Also enjoying roaming the world in Google Earth VR , especially being isolated :-). The Oculus also has a few cool relaxing experiences like Big Screen TV, Deep Blue, a meditation program, etc that its a great escape.

    Hope everyone is staying safe and being smarter than most of our politicians that are ignoring science :-).

    There Is Always Hope!

    Just started Mass Effect Andromeda this week, played through The Vanishing of Ethan Carter and Planet Alpha within the last couple weeks, still log onto WoW every day or two for time-wasting alt stuff and mount collecting, and I'm keeping my weekly tabletop gaming going with the family every Sunday on Tabletop Simulator.

    Ethan Carter had a great story. I played that one years ago when it first came out. Very nice modernized version of the old fashioned adventure games.

    I'm also one of the few people who admits having enjoyed ME: Andromeda quite a bit. The character building and the combat were the best of the ME bunch.

    I liked Ethan Carter, as well. I'm a book nerd...oldschool point-and-click adventures and walking simulators are my jam, especially because they're usually pretty short and inexpensive, which makes them perfect palette-cleansers in between all the 100+ hour open-world collectathons that come out these days.

    I'll admit, ME: Andromeda was feeling a bit clunky to me out of the gate, and I hit a couple bugs that forced reloads, but the training wheels are coming off on the 2nd planet and I'm getting sucked in. I wonder if all that hate was just general anti-EA vitriol that carried over from the ME3 ending controversy, and some occasionally wonky facial animations were all it took to set people off.

    You've made me interested in Old World now.

    I've been playing mostly League of Legends, Total War Saga: Thrones of Brittania, Northgard, Iratus: Lord of the Dead and Second Life in recent months.

    Your post got me playing ME: Andromeda again for the first time in a few years. Thanks!

    Started with Wolcen. Got all achievements.
    Moved to Trials of Mana. Got all achievements quickly (easy game but actually very fun)
    Now playing FFX-2. Have had it on PS2 but I never played, so figured I'd try it on PC.

    Steam had a sale on Torchlight 2 so I bought it for a couple of my friends and we have been doing internet parties. Never played it before and it's a blast.

    Yeah it's a fun ARPG. Haven't played it for a while but I did play the crap out of it once upon a time. Loved the pet that goes to town for you to vendor stuff.
