I was addicted to Genshin Impact for around 6 months and then finally was able to break away from gacha hell
now im just recouping playing some older games on my backlog. Currently playing Prey (2017) for the first time and it is excellent. Been meaning to check it out for a while and i honestly should have sooner because it’s hitting all the right points for me. Just a really awesome first person sci-fi survival horror/shooter. I imagine Arkane would make a really dope Alien game if microsoft/bethesda could get a hold of the IP rights.
After Prey I will be playing another older game on my backlog, Dying Light. Need some good Zombie survival action in my life.
I’m working my way through Doom Eternal and I still play Warzone with friends.
I have an old G25 that I use to play Asseto Corsa and Forza here and there. Just bought Euro Truck Simuator 2/ American Truck Simulator for 5 Euros both.
I am thinking about buying Metro Exodus or Mafia Definitve Edition on the Epic sale that is currently on. Also I really want to try some Battlefront II if it’s still active…
And don’t get me started on the backlog you already know!
I’ve seen people talking about Subnautica. I’ve tried that game and it’s great, but it triggers my Thalassophobia (fear of the ocean) really bad. I might try to overcome my fears and finish it this summer.
Also, Prey (2017) is great. I really need to do another playthrough with a stealth build.
Man Doom Eternal is very well put together tons of fun! It can get a little tiring with all the shooting at times but it always calls me back. Love the platforming and the great scenery. I’ve also seen people develop crazy skill at this game so it kind of pushes me to try hard as well!
Yeah I think I will pull the trigger on Metro. I had played the first game of the series and enjoyed the atmoshpere.
Another game to try if you want more like Doom Eternal is ULTRAKILL. It feels very similar but has its own unique style. I’ve put about 200 hours in Doom and 100 in ULTRAKILL.
If you enjoyed the first Metro game then you’ll love Exodus. It still has the claustrophobic metro systems but also has great open maps that still feel like they all fit together with the theme imo. My only complaint is that it managed to trigger both my arachnophobia and thalassophobia. But thankfully only occasionally, so I was able to finish it lol.
Oh right then you must be like those guys pulling crazy combos… any tips for the newbie :P? Do you cycle through your weapons with they keyboard or with the wheel? There are so many and I can’t figure out how people can instantly pull the shoty for the winch. Like is it just luck or are you precisely switching to that weapon?
I pretty much just enjoy driving Automobilista 2 on the PC. I’ve spent a fair amount of time the last two days in the newly released GTE cars and accompanying tracks.
The spiders are VERY bad, but it’s only for one area and only required for one “dungeon”.
For weapon swapping I recommend using the keyboard. It will take some time and practice to get used to dancing your fingers around, but it’s worth it. I tend to put the super shotgun on one of the mouse thumb buttons so it’s always easily accessible.
Edit: I also have launch grenade bound to mouse wheel up and flame belch bound to mouse wheel down. This helps to free up more keys for weapons.
Battlefield ( Hype Hype)
Sometimes Insurgency Sandstorm
COD Modern Warfare
But my main game since nearly 2 years is Escape from Tarkov.
Best Shooter ever, despite its problems. Cant stop playing after nearly 2000hours playtime. It still manages to pump adrenalin through my veins. Its the only game that manages to get me to the highest highs only to bring me down to the bottom seconds later. Its unforgiving hardcore nature is what keeps me addicted.
regarding Automobilista 2, a wheel is (for me at least) a must have… guess a controller would do, but i feel you lose immersion without a wheel… Also Automobilista 2 is great in VR (imho Iracing and Automobilista 2 are the two titles i use that have the best VR implementation, better than Assetto Corsa /competizione and RaceRoom Racing Experience)
Now that Ive got a decent PC I can’t wait to buy a VR headset as well! But between this and upgrading the wheel and my headphones I just need to be a little patient :P. What wheel do you have? What do you think about Automobilista vs Asseto?
FYI since the game’s release, Logitech wheels have been kind of finicky with Automobilista2. It may all be good now but there has been precedent for Logitech-specific tweaks being needed earlier on in the game’s release. You may want to do a bit of research in advance and set aside sufficient time to try things so you get a refund within Steam’s window if things don’t work out for you.
you already know!
