A handbrake even! Do you play rallying?

yeah for some reason I just don't have the same free time that I used to have for playing games but I still manage to play some, oh yeah I also played PC games, namely Starcraft (1, Broodwar, 2), Counterstrike, Doom, Command and Conquer, some Warcraft, GTA, and Diablo 1 & 2

Always built my own desktops to play PC games...Played a ton of broodwar back in the day, then went through a big Starcraft 2 phase, but can't click the mouse fast enough or remember all the hot keys...they made it too fast and too complicated..

MechWarrior 5 Right now, though I am working through it slowly. It really kicks ass on a 4k monitor with a 1080 Ti pushing it, highly recommend it. Turn up the bass!

Titanfall 2 on ps3 was an excellent game as well, if not a little short. Love big robot games.

After MechWarrior -though I'm going slow and it's a huge game.. I have the latest COD on PC as well to play.

Since others seem to be sharing, here's my rig
Phantex ethoos lux case
i7-8700k water cooled w/corsair closed loop system, had to modify the case with a dremel to fit the radiator up top
32gb ram
1080 Ti
asus wireless card
asus blu ray drive, hard to find a case that supports optical drives anymore..
1tb ssd as the main, 4tb wd black for backup

Also threw in a 1tb m2 drive recently, (the chip below the processor) but haven't yet installed the heatsink kit I got or cloned my main drive to it and done the switch yet, someday

I'm still playing titanfall 2 multiplayer on pc. That's my favorite fps game.

I play it on Xbox One...

The MW series was an old favorite of mine @nicosauve1 ... I had 1,2 and Mercenaries. I wish it would come out on console ...

I think there are some ways to play these on a DOS emulator if you are feeling nostalgic. Loved these games back in the day with a Microsoft force feedback Pilot stick. Had to map all the buttons but worth it. Haven't tried MW5 yet. Still addicted to Destiny 2 and Division 2 and been playing some COD Warzone here and there.

I don't think I've come across this thread...I didn't want to read 30+ pages, so I'll pick up from here.

I purchased a Switch right before the whole covid thing hit in order to play some old school Zelda games. Found Punchout, Metroid, and some of the really retro stuff...

After that wore off, I hit some RPGs. Divinity Original Sin 2, Fire Emblem, both South Parks (I found these to be quite entertaining for a turn based/cartoon based game), and now playing a JRPG called Xenoblade. This game is really funny...as I get more advanced armor, I find my characters have less clothes on. It's honestly kind of creeper like. I have 2 female characters in my group right now, and they are basically running around in bikinis which is the highest armor available for them. When they started in my group, they had what looked like Pope robes on. I guess the Japanese knows what sells...lol

Have to say Divinity was the most "open world" game and was really cool...but, almost too difficult at times. When I wasn't leveling up fast enough to follow the story line, I had to use some gaming boards to figure out how to get XP to move the story along. (I prefer to figure games out on my own, but some of the things required in that game would have taken me months to figure out)

Anyone out there into the RPG games? Any suggestions after I am done with Xenoblade?

Skyrim was fantastic on PC a few years back and seems to have good reviews on the Switch.
