ARMA series

Want to bet the “demo” is running on cloud services?

Dishonored was fun but not as visceral, also felt way too overpowered. I think I only replayed it once or twice. Mount & Blade is a real challenge but it’s clunky and has no real feedback when landing hits, you just sort of go through them or bounce off. Still, another one of my favourite games though.

Loved the melee in this game. Have been disappointed with every first person sword fighting game ever since. Skyrim came after this and was such a letdown in that regard.

Space Empires V

It’s very old, unfinished and jank as fuck. The ai was never very good and could be steamrolled easily with the right tech tree. But those first few turns while exploring and setting up colonies without knowing exactly which tech your nearest rivals would have or if they were planning an invasion was always very fun. Then it would turn into a tedious logistics game of trying to move your fleets or decommission ships that took you the majority of the game to build.

Also, Space Rangers 2.

It’s like an amalgum arcady space shooter but somehow turnbased and space RPG text adventure. It was always very buggy with a UI that is ugly as hell.

Same. Quick review: it’s so much like the old game that I’m fucking loving it

Like Skyrim and Fallout, the genre tends to be buggy.

Vsync is often the culprit of laggy feeling. I keep it off unless I get distracting screen tearing. Typically with a high enough frame rate it doesn’t seem noticeable to me.

No You don’t get to touch those

You can host it on a USB if you like too. Trust no-one with your passwords.
