Was gonna grab FC5 during the Steam sale and waffled too much on it, decided to reinstall FC2 instead. I forgot how much I enjoyed that one...at least until the checkpoints pissed me off. So far, that hasn't happened! I forgot how good the game looks and plays, it barely loads my system now...but 10 years ago, I recall it being a bit different. DX10, no crashes yet, plays super smooth, looks good enough, and I really like the physics and attention to details that I read FC4 and 5 lack. I never played much of FC3 either. FC1 and 2 I had far far more time into.
Also working on my Doom 2016 playthru...when you just want action, violence and mad gibs...this is where it's at. I sure wish there'd be a Quake 2018 that was a more direct sequel to the original. But that being said the next Doom looks pretty sweet.
Oh ya and also reinstalled and started a fresh run through AVP2010, I forgot that one was DX11!! I'm looking forward to giving this more time, but for now Doom and FC2 for FPS.
Sword of the Stars and Ashes of the Singularity for strategy.
SotS was $2.50 on sale on GOG and Steam. It's worth every damn penny, I already owned it on Steam but snagged a copy on GOG. If Kerberos does make an HD remaster, I really hope they don't screw it up! I really hope they do a modern remake of SOTS1 though.
Ashes has been a lotta fun playing through again, though it seems a recent update must've made the AI weaker...because there's no way I'm THAT good after not playing for a couple of months. So cranking up the challenge, going for larger maps with more AI, and doing another campaign playthru along with the challenges. Hoping this game gets some much needed attention too, patching has resumed for both GC3 and Ashes now that StarDock has released Star Control. But they're focusing on new content for GC3 first...I just hope they fix the damn combat...at least fix the viewer.
