Post by Wolfee »

So are you a "member of the PC Master Race? Or are you a Console Peasant? " (A question of of my favorite Youtube game reviewers asks)

I am a member of the PC master race thank you very much... though I do have an Xbox one to play with my friends.

Used to play:
(lots of FPS games and flight sims of all kinds)
Eve Online
Path Of Exile
Star Trek online.

Currently Play:
World of Warships
World of Tanks
Destiny - on XBOX one - bought it specifically because I wanted to play this game - will stay with Destiny 2 on Xbox (not PC) because of my friends.
(play once through) any new XCOM
(every once in a great while) Subnautica

So as far as online game playing is concerned, the only game i've ever played, and am still playing, is a the mobile game, clash of clans. As far as other games are concerned, i don't play much and never online. That being said, i don't consider myself a gamer. Tho on PC, i really enjoyed playing a few older games, stronghold crusader, freelancer story mode only, and maybe a coulpe others. I spend a lot of my free time reading and rereading books.

So I am a "Kinda" a PC master race person in that I usually prefer games on PC if given a choice, and I absolutely am disappointed in current gen consoles as they were significantly underpowered for when they launched, hell the ps4pro is still underpowered for the when the base ps4 launched.

Having said that, a lot of AAA games are developed for consoles first and then maybe ported to PC as an afterthought which can result in sub par experiences(Batman anyone). Also for developing there is a advantage to consoles that a lot of people I have seen don't take into account, when you know the exact hardware the software will be running on you can outperform hardware with the exact same specs to some degree(this is why for instance PS2 emulation still isn't fantastic on even modern PC's playable yes)

Anyway the main question asked is "What do you play?"

I am currently playing
FFXIV(Lunamaria Hawke on Marlboro)
Just Cause 3(replaying it . . . just cause)
Horizon Zero Dawn
Dishonored 2
Uncharted 4
I am Setsuna

Who the heck has time to play games? There are so many books out there! So many stories, webnovels, translations!

In the rare, rare times in which I don't have anything to read, I'll just use my PC for idle gaming. It's more like an afterthought since I can do so without investing into more than the game itself... well, if even that, since I often rather grab some of those ancient games that kept me busy a decade or two ago. Those aren't exactly available and supported anymore. Most of those companies just don't exist anymore. :-(

Still, I prefer to read rather than spend any more time in front of the computer than I already do. A rainy day, the air smelling of said rain, listening to that while reading very calming and peaceful. Naturally, you have to sit on the patio or inside the house. If you'll get rained on it stops being calming.

This presumes there is actually that much quality stuff to read! I say not. I actually signed up for Kindle Prime or whatever it is, 10 bucks a month lets you read over 1m books for free. It generally saves me money. I've gone through a lot of web fiction and frankly while there is some great stuff out there - its mostly trash.

Sides the games I play these days are all multi-player - so I'm generally chatting with friends who are playing the same game and match with me... so much more fun that way!

I just started playing Path of Exile on my PC. I googled "games like Diablo" and it was #1. It is a wonderful Diablo-esque game with a CRAZY HUGE skill tree. More like a skill forest. It has all the stuff I enjoyed in Diablo. Killing, looting, more killing, more looting.

I have not had a console since the Atari 800. Thus, I am a PC gamer since the days of Warcraft, Aces of the Pacific, Dune, Command & Conquer.... for DOS using a SoundBlaster 16 ISA sound card and less than one MEGabyte of RAM.

Now I play Rise of Nations - Extended, Sins of a Solar Empire - Rebellion, BF4, BF3, Age of Empires II HD Edition, Overwatch. Occasionally Titanfall (I don't like Titanfall 2), Rainbow 6 Siege and Starcraft II.

I have never played any games like Evercrack and World of Warcraft. Never saw the need to pay to install and pay to play a game.

Still looking for an easy WYSIWYG html/web editor like Frontpage used to be.

I play iPad. I suppose that inherently makes me a casual player, but I have ports of lots of console games on it and a USB controller. My latest has been Space Marshalls 2, a very well done stealth shooter game for mobile only. Before that it was Bully: Anniversary Edition, Final Fantasy I, and Fallout 3. Next on the list is Implosion.

I'll play any system. I'm rarely on anything other than my ipad now (simply because it meets the majority of my needs) but I primarily played PC over console before that. Mostly because I had the PC already and multiple consoles would be expensive.
