Games this month are playing second fiddle. Hockey's back, baby!

August? My July and August have been taken by SpellForce - a very beautiful and interesting experience, will replay them for sure. Next, during my vacation time, I could play Darksiders. Bioshock's on schedule for drizzly, slimy weather...somehow I think they fit each other.
SWTOR dropped on steam and its population has hit 30k some nights. Have not played the Empire side of the game. So downloading the game now and just re-subbed. Gonna go get lost in the dark side
I do that pretty well yearly. I just did it a couple of months back. This last time I tried to do them all as a melee biotic - tough to do in the first one but very rewarding in ME3.

How about because of the Spidey issue "boycotting" Marvel's Avengers until launch? It is what I am doing by default as it is better to play a game when they think it is good enough to launch.
I lost interest in the Storyteller genre, they have to be done very well for me and they just don't keep hitting the mark.
CiV 6, play Civ 4 instead.
Legends of Runeterra, never heard of it.
Griftlands is on my wish list I think, I loose track of what's on it.

Yeah I have a couple of friends playing it again now that it is on Steam, like Torval. I never enjoyed it much (not a fan of SW) but I think it was a great choice to bring it to Steam. Should have been done sooner to be honest.
The newbe areas were alive. I love the Empire story so far, trying to play a light side Sith. It's proving to be a challenge
Forgot to mention, with SWTOR, if you sub for one month you get all 5 expansion for free. If you unsub the next month and play as a free player. You still get to keep the expansions you unlocked. That's allot of story for $15

So, it's been a long time for me. I haven't played ME3 since it came out in 2012.
I'm rolling a soldier which is the only spec I never rolled. I tend to gravitate towards magic-y things (biotics) in general in games.
I think there are only 2 important things I've learned from this epic run.
People that criticize M3 as being a bad game are idiots. I know that the ending"s" aren't that great, but I'll be god damned if that game isn't brilliant.
Also, Andromeda lacks the greatness from the previous iterations. It is toned down, and I hope when they make the next one, they will revert to the potential darkness from the older iterations. Andromeda is good. But I personally feel like the greatness from the previous episodes were better.
Still, it's been an amazing experience overall that I feel like, if there is a person that is reading this and hasn't had the Mass Effect experience, then your life could be better.
It's an amazing series. It's an important gift to gamers. It's an important gift to people that enjoy drama. It is an epic journey through which any game player should go through.
Fallout 76 since it showed up on Gamepass, Middle Earth: Shadow of War (I think I got it for free on Humble).
F:76 is ok now for a standard, unmodded Bugthesda offering. It's keeping my interest.
ME:SoW is good. They got rid of the ugly monitization and associated grind a year or so after release and it's a fun time.
I gave Wurm, Legends of Aria, and Fractured a try. Gave up on Wurm when I couldn't even find a decent plot of land after searching for an hour or two, Fractured is.... ok, but a little simplistic and still feels very Alpha. Aria feels very indy but kept my interest for a few days. Might drop back in sometime.
Horizon: Zero Dawn (PC), I'm one of the luck ones without performance problems, it's so much better with KB&M vs controller. Also checked out the Avengers beta this weekend, it has promise but I'm worried it's going to have the same problems as Anthem (no endgame).

That's more story than you get in a lot of solo RPG's, and good story at that.

Maybe some For Honor interim. And such.

Logic, my dear, merely enables one to be wrong with great authority.

'But there are many. You can play them entirely solo, and even offline. Also, you are wrong by default.'
Ikcin in response to yours sincerely debating whether or not single-player offline MMOs exist...
'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....'

You know, IMO.
