Best and favourite video games :)

Been playing XCom 2 lately with the long war mod and a hundred other mods. I don't understand why people play these on consoles without mods. Mods are everything to gaming :)

I am guessing there must be be some gamers on here. I recently purchased Forza Horizon 6 for my new laptop and realised I needed to buy a controller so I bought a basic Xbox controller. Now I'm thinking it would be fun to purchase a racing steering wheel (which comes with pedals too). Those accessories are expensive!

I'm a gamer, but not so much into racing sims. However, from people who do like those simulators, the wheel is the way to go. I believe (and could be wrong) that they come with the pedals....but are between $300-500....which is a little insane. But, it's much easier to drive, you get forced-feedback in the wheel that apparently helps with knowing when to slow down or turn harder....

They are definitely worth it and extremely fun

I have been playing the Diablo series dating back to late 90's. Latest version started off ok but has steadily improved with live service. Love the seasons mostly. Micro transactions are not needed to "win".

yeah been playing on and off with my cousin since weve been playing since the diablo 1 days and this new one is still pretty damn fun the seasons definitely make it more fun to go back and keep playing

unrelated but does anyone know of any smaller video game stores that sell used or new games? in or around toronto
 
With GTA 6 around the corner I still have to say I am a firm believer GTA 4 had the best storylines (as well as expansions), city and overall vibe. I really dig the more dark/gritty NYC style city over the super bright and happy Los Santos/Vice City vibes personally. I really wish they would make a proper remaster or even a nice HD remake but knowing Rockstar it wont happen.

GTA5 does not hold a candle to any other GTA in terms of story. For me San Andreas and GTA4 had the best stories out of all of them. I definitely think GTA4 far ahead of it's time to the point they went backwards with physics in 5.

Not a super popular thread obviously but is anyone interested in that new Wolverine game coming out? I'm a big fan of the comic book character and thinking of checking it out
 
Xcom 2, the base game is fantastic, the paid DLC is fantastic, and steam workshop gives you infinite DLC for free.
Dishonored series
Mass Effect series except Andromeda

My man! Mass Effect (minus Andromeda) is one of my favourite series as well, I replay it so often too
 
Never owned a gaming console btw.
I didn’t get into gaming at home until I got a PC and that was in my last year of university. Even then it was not much of a deep dive. Really enjoyed RTS games but I played them with cheat codes on haha. Only game I really put some thought into and consumed much of my time was Diablo 3. The game that really got me into gaming and understand the appeal and allure was Metal Gear Solid. With Metal Gear Solid though once you play through the story the game lost its replayable value. So maybe I hop on and play once or twice a year.

Almost forgot. The most memorable video game and still has a place in my heart is Virtual On. Only in the arcade when they still existed and this was in the mid-90s. It felt like hopping into a cockpit of a Gundam. LOL. Almost bought the actual arcade machine on eBay but couldn’t work out the shipping and insurance with the seller.
