You play that with a controller or a HOTAS?
M/KB but 8 might try it with gamepad over steamlink.
MK and it works fine.
Ohhhhhh excellent choice.
I played a ton of il2 sturmovik. Buried in my simpit, the drone of a powerful engine and the cold wastes of Russia stretching out before me.
Then dots in the distance! Nazis! We climb, take positions. The engine drone intensifies as I shove the throttle just short of emergency power. Suddenly evil shapes of messerschmitts pass in a flash. I rack the plane around in a climbing turn, straining to keep a view of them over my shoulder. Let’s dance!
Mere minutes later the steppe is strewn with wreckage, pillars of black smoke marking the graves of now anonymous machines and men. I lead the surviving members of my flight back on a long quiet flight home among white clouds over a white winter scape.
Once more the line was held against the fascist invaders, za rodina!
Busy weekend ahead! For Space Game Junkie, I’ll be recording:
I’ll be streaming:
For myself, of course more of this:
I’ve found my way back into this, so I’ll be scanning down some wormholes:
Should be a great weekend!
I foresee a lot of Grim Dawn. I’ll probably play a bit of Brawlhalla with my kid, and if weather isn’t too hot I might play Monster Hunter World: Iceborne and maybe something else. We’ll see.
EDIT: forgot to mention X4: Foundations!!! Chances are I’ll play that one more than even MHW:I this weekend.
Going to be playing a bit of OOTP 21 for my baseball fix. Also Ancient Enemy since it’s clicking with me.
Old World discussion has put me in the mood for some Civ 4.
A little bit of Nier: Automata. Maybe a lot of Factorio. Definitely some Beat Saber and Pistol Whip workouts.
Also some major boardgaming:
- Root, Aeon’s End: Legacy, and Pandemic: Legacy physically with my kids
- John Company & Pax Pamir over forum/Discord
- Apocrypha solo
- Potentially some TTS action with my brother-in-law and/or a friend
Deja vu again. XCOM 2: WOTC.
Victor Vran on the Switch - was enjoying it on the Xbox but played infrequently; played it for a few days straight on Switch and made some progress so will play some more this weekend.
Started Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order - what a great looking game! But I was surprised at the performance on my Xbox One X even in Performance mode with the frame rate drops in certain areas. It was a lot worse with Performance mode off, but still, not a huge improvement with it on. Surprised that so late in this gen’s lifespan and with the better hardware of the X, that a game would have these issues. I imagine must be total crap on the standard Xbox.
Also hope to play:
Octopath Traveler
AC: Odyssey
Nier: Automata
You just reminded me I got XCOM 2 at release and still haven’t played it! Hmm…
How does this kind of thing happen? Explain yourself!
Hm, it occurs to me that I also have an unplayed copy of XCOM 2. I believe I can articulate why I haven’t played it yet - I think the combination of what sounds like fairly strict time limits on deployment of troops and development of technology, paired with (again) what sounds like a fairly optimal path for approaching missions gives me the impression you can get into a ‘walking dead’ situation, or an unwinnable game, based on choices you’ve made earlier in that game. That would feel like a waste of time to me, so I’ve just backburnered XCOM 2 for the time being.
Serious question @divedivedive - When you say that would be a waste of time, does this mean you play games to win them? Because I dont think I have completed more than a very low …single digit percentage of any of my 700 steam games by now. I mostly play them for the experience, see something shiny over the hill, and grab that instead.
Same here - read something about time limits in the reviews and how much more difficult it was compared to first game so was in no rush to play it.
Also, perpetual backlog.
I guess I do, yeah. I’m assuming XCOM 2 works like the first game (which I did play) in that there’s a campaign with a beginning, middle and end. I’d like to see that through, so yeah, I would play XCOM 2 to win.
