Thanx

If you like strategy games then it's one of the best. For $5 I vote yes.

Haha same. Wow was great. Had to leave it.

There's... uh... like 5 DLC's, I think. $7.50 for the whole thing is cheap and well worth it.

Honestly, no. Unless you're just asking if they're still fun, which they are, don't get me wrong. I didn't play them back in the day, just succumbed to internet reviews a few years back (mostly because I did like SWTOR and Dragon Age).

The first one is charming and old, the second is a buggy, slightly pretentious mess (yes, even with the fan patch). I don't regret playing them through, though. I may play the first one again. But there's a lot better out there.

Ohhh you had me at linux. You game on linux? What's in the box? (System)

If I had xbox this is what I would be doing also....

Anyone know how much dlc there is? I can get the ultimate edition for $7.50 or regular game for $2.50

Strictly single player?

God Of War

God of War: Ragnarok

Amazing stories there.

Skyrim is well Skyrim fucking love that game.

No Man's Sky Strictly sit back and chill gaming.

Uncharted series... All of them i loved single player.

Co-op Tom Clancy Breakpoint and Wildlands Love them both super fun with an online buddy running the loudest stealth missions evar.

The Division 1 and 2 titles were good. Too looty and gear dependant for my taste but fun none the less.

Anthem was great but dead now sadly. I think you can play solo for the most part.

Shyt I am sure there is more but my brain is fried after twelve hours of work.

PlayStation 5.

I'm not into online games as well, but for me I'm a Sony guy here because I grew up playing PlayStation exclusives and I think it's better than Xbox exclusive games.

Since you like First Person Shooters, maybe you would like Doom (2016) and Doom Eternal.

> 'If you want to play X, you should buy it, otherwise avoid it.'

My Steam library strongly disagrees with this.

Yeah, that's the problem.

i really don't recall anything in that game being difficult. was more an atmospheric/cinematic experience. maybe it's faded from memory, idk

Honestly 5 is better. If it's on sale I'd just go for that one instead.

It’s only $5, you might as well I mean there’s nothing to lose if you end up not liking these styles games

Me at the start of dead space

Civ6 is great. If you don’t have experience with the franchise, it’s not bad to start with 6. Honestly I found the district mechanic a bit difficult to get used to and I prefer a bit from civ5, but I do believe it was only because of the number of hours I sank into civ5. If you want to try it out, might as well get it now.

Yup.

I mean, that's literally the answer to getting any game. 'If you want to play X, you should buy it, otherwise avoid it.'

Ciri in witcher 3.

Well, I'm a lot closer to your age than your kids (34), but when I was their age I was just starting to get into more 'complex' computer games like RTS/RPG genres. I got my dad into some games like Stonghold and Star Wars Battlegrounds (AoE Spinoff), and we would LAN Party at home sometimes which was a cool bonding thing. He helped me build my first couple gaming PCs and then later I would build on my own and give him the "outdated" one lol.

I had older brothers and started playing games at a VERY young age (DOS, Windows 3.1/95/98).

Anyways... I currently run Xbox series X and Linux PC. Both recent, was on PS4 before that. Best recommendation would be to do a PC build project with them and let them use it for gaming and to learn, but if that's not in your budget I get it. Second up, I'd probably go Xbox with Game Pass ($15/mo). I get bored with game pass sometimes but there is usually a decent rotation of stuff to play for all ages.

Not like the original was a piece of art or anything. It was a pretty rudimentary mobile game even when it came out.

If you can afford the anthology and get into it, you'll definitely get your money's worth. Even just a single playthrough can give you many hours of entertainment.

That being said, perhaps spend the evening looking up playthroughs of Civ6 to see if you think it will be your jam. Here's a playlist from a YT channel called PotatoMcWhiskey. I can't remember if this is the exact playlist I watched when I was considering buying Civ6, but it was definitely his channel that I found helpful.

I'd spend a bit of time watching vids like that, but if 25 bucks isn't a big deal, it's a solid gamble you'll get good time out of it. Also, I find Civ is GREAT for having something to do in the background while exploring new music on Spotify, YT etc.

Series x

Do you value your free time?
