Quoting: GuestMankind Divided for what reason? everyone else said it was a disappointment and cashgrab.

Because it's fantastic? ^_^ Your mileage may vary of course.

I finally picked up SteamWorld Dig 2 and SteamWorld Heist for just under £15 the pair. Now to find time to play them!

This looks stunning! I won't do any more Kickstarters though but will be wishlisting.

There's also a demo on Steam. I tried it but it's very flaky for me, keeps crashing to desktop.

Edit: I should have stated the demo I tried was the "Touch" version.

Quoting: ArehandoroI wish is was slightly easier for newbies or not so hardcore football fans. Ains, I miss a bit PC Fútbol 5.0 -Don't know if it ever was released outside of Spain-

There's also Football Manager Touch, the "cut down" version which is the one I bought previously. It's less involved and more "pick the team and watch the game", although obviously there's more to it than that.

Quoting: Jahimself[snip]...If you like soccer, the game is an absolute must have. I myself try to get away as much as possible from it, because it is way too realistic and really makes you feel like a professionnal manager and thus you can spend way too much time in the game

If you play as any one of half the sides in the Premier League then you'll be sacked before you can finish a season! ;)

Quoting: crt0megaFive years ago I discovered GoL because I was searching news regarding Steam for Linux :D F*ck, I'm getting old.

If 5 years since first reading GOL makes you feel old, how old do you think I feel when I still remember typing this....

10 print HELLO
20 goto 10
run

I know I must have typed that and a lot more on my C-64, but I guess I'm too old to actually remember it.

I knew that machine inside out and wrote an assembler and BASIC toolkit! Can't remember any of it now though (I do still have the 5¼" floppies I used in my 1541/1571 drives though!)

I was part of the Beta... time has flown! I would never have guessed at what was coming though, I'm actually snowed under with a backlog of GOOD games yet to be played :D

Periodically I'll casually look at Doom 3 with a view to getting it set up as it's "the one that got away". I love all the old ID stuff. Good write up and thanks for the push - dhewm3 it is then!

Quoting: GuestSorry but i can murder a lot of innocent people in Saints Row with no problem, but being a dirty capitalist...? Nope, i'm not that psycopath.

This :D I play games for escapism but this reminds me too much of the grubby reality we actually now live in! ;)

Quoting: razing32LOL
My comment was meant more tongue in cheek

Fair enough :D

Quoting: razing32Was more curios what you were having fun with. I have a tonne of games but I seem to find myself drifting to older games run via wine (Tachyon the Fringe , Deus Ex 1 , Return to Castle Wolfenstein)

Don't think I ever had a love affair with platformers but did play them as a kid since they were the norm.
Loved Dying light but more from the sense of dread and panic while traversing the city at night.
I tend to favor RTS/TBS/Point and click and just stay away from the action and breathe in the world around me.

I can certainly appreciate that last bit. Maybe I've been neglecting my gaming at a subconscious level because I agree with you ;) I'm slowing down with old age!

Quoting: razing32What fun stuff did you find to play solo ?
Curios for myself :P

Really? I currently have over 400 Linux games Quite amazing! None of those are multiplayer only games.

I tend to favour FPS type games like Dying Light, Hitman, Borderlands 2, Deus Ex, Shadow Of Mordor, Mad Max etc etc, you get the idea ;) Steamworld Dig's the nearest I get to a platformer these days.

Quoting: razing32(currently i am playing older games via wine)

I used Wine for gaming but not for a few years now. I did rack up 103 hours in Far Cry 2, for instance and loved the Stalker series.
