🎮 Gaming Thread: What Are You Playing?

I've found my way back to Minecraft now my little lad is old enough to get into it. Forgot how therapeutic it can be... 🙂🙂🙂
 
I've been playing WarCraft since Orcs & Humans first released on my Dad's lap, Tides of Darkness is probably my second favourite DOS RTS ever (after Dungeon Keeper).

Controversial take, I found WarCraft III really poor compared to the prior two games. Didn't like the changes to lore, the Night Elves, Undead etc.

It's a great game still, but lacks some of the greatest of the earlier DOS releases IMO.

Don't shoot me.

I fell away from playing competitively on warcraft 3 these days I just play custom games now n then, I was a big wow player for like 10-15 years but gave that up recently after hardcore wow kinda died
 
I don't know "Sacrifice", at least I can't recall it! I rarely get the time to play games these days, but when I do it's normally old DOS games - particularly love old point and click adventures.
 
Oh, wow if it's an Interplay game - I'll have to give it a go at some point. One of the best publishers of the era by far, similar to Psygnosis - or Bullfrog as a developer.

You appear to know more about gaming than I do, I've forgot more than I remember :P
 
Tbf I kinda fell away from gaming when I was in my early 20s when my daughter was born, before then you'd need to peel me off my seat...
 
I spent a lot of time as a kid playing with DOS, also where I first learnt to program. I miss the simplicity of older games.
 
I'm thinking Black Myth Wukong maybe? Not sure.

Mate, my old man must have spent 1,000+ hours lost in BG1/2 and Icewind Dale when I was growing up. BG3 is a blast and probably my favourite PC game released in the past 5 years - other than one major thing, it's heavily sexualised in ways that are a bit awkward to me. I'd rather any relationship/sexualisation bits are left out of games.

Left a review on Steam at the time, and biggest point was that it's not a game I could play with my own kids one day.

Oh yeah I think you're right thinking about it

For BG3 I guess I'll find out when they stop wanting top dollar for it but I get what you are saying - we never had any of this back in our day! (hopefully it's still our day!)

I played through the earlier ones again recently actually, very nostaligic - I also played the original divinity again which I thought stands up well still compared to some of the old games which can be a bit unplayable these days
 
Yeah it's definitely worth holding out for a decent price, though I normally use CD key sites for buying Steam games these days and reckon you'll already be able to find something fairly cheap!

The original Divinity is brilliant too, I remember making it to a desert part with high wind that had particularly high difficulty - maybe 50 hours into the game, and never continued. My little brother completed I think, and enjoyed Divinity II a lot too!
