joeyconcrete Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 In years past, I was an avid PC gamer. I decried console gaming and was firmly in the PC camp. A mix of everything really; CS, Civilisation, Fallout, Bioshock, Age of Empires, WoW etc. Then life took over. Work, family, kids, hobbies, dog. Had an Xbox 360 throughout (GTA5, COD), then a PS4. They're pickup and play. Then the kids caught up, and the consoles have been "acquired". Long story short. I now have a good gaming rig, a quiet room and I need games. I suspect Outlook 2016, Excel and Chrome do not warrant such a spec. With that in mind.... What games will help me forget the PS4? (So far, Prison Architect, ARMA3, ARK, City Skylines, Civilisation, Fallout 4). Any other good PC suggestions? Now, or ones I may have missed these past two years. Maybe I am just getting too old for this!! Like clinging on to an XR2 when I should really have a nice Volvo estate, heated seats and classic FM.

alibaba Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 I don't really play games anymore (a few games of fifa against the boy on his xbox now and again) but would love to spend a couple of days, possibly weeks, trying to get into Elite Dangerous. I spent A LOT of time playing Frontier on my Amiga and loved it. Sadly I have neither the time or the hardware to have a proper explore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyconcrete Posted February 11, 2016 Author Share Posted February 11, 2016 I was a massive fan of Frontier on my Amiga.. I may have a look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shill Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Joey, take a look at Firewatch, just released a few days ago. Dialogue is brilliant, and really interesting storyline. It's a bit like playing a Hitchcock film in the middle of the Wyoming wilderness. http://store.steampowered.com/app/383870/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shill Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 I was reading an article the other day on Space Sims and apparently Evochron Legacy rivals Elite Dangerous in terms of game play. There is also a free demo I was going to check out - http://www.starwraith.com/evochronlegacy/downloads.htm Has anyone played this ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarne Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Evochron Legacy will really disappoint you Shill. (Then again, Elite Dangerous disappointed me too, but it was prettier!) Joey, you've got some good ones there, but it does depend when you're in too. There's alsoX-COM 1 and 2Kerbal Space Program,Skyrim (and all it's amazing mods that console people won't have seen),Telltales The Walking Dead,Telltales Game of Thrones,Crusader Kings 2 (Hundreds of hours in this, waaaaa)Europa Universalis 4Witcher 3 (You may have already had it on console)Rome Total War 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ans Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 The Witness (I've not played it yet, I'm waiting for the inevitable Steam Sale, but by all accounts it's AMAZING) Saints Row Series (Possibly better than GTA and definitely more ludicrous) I'd also give some serious though to a Steam Link btw. It's the best of both worlds, couch gaming with your Steam Library. It's the Lunar Steam Sale on right now which you probably already realised. But if not, fill yer boots.

ans Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 I couldn't get into them. They're interactive stories rather than games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I know my question was civilised. And I appreciate you're a lout. But still I am interested to know what difference it makes as to the age of the people involved?
