Too much politics on this forum. Not enough talk about what really brought us all together. Other than Gemstone what have you been playing console, computer, or phone?
Recently I've been playing Throne and Liberty an MMO. It's gorgeous and the mechanics remind me of gemstone a little bit. F2P but pretty much P2W. That doesn't bother me though I'm not worried about ranking on any scoreboards or any of that shit.

I finished Oblivion Remastered main quest and a lot of the side stuff last week. Haven’t played since.Quote:

Tainted Grail Fall of Avalon is pretty awesome.
This game has a really playable demo. I dig the lore, and combat, and it looks like it could be a lot of fun. I don't know if I'll buy it but I'm enjoying the demo! Thanks for the suggestion.Quote:

I'm hoping Dune:The Awakening will be good next week.
I've tried to keep a list of games I've completed over the past 14 years or so and the date completed. The list isn't complete, I know I've missed some games, but I'm not going to sit around trying to reminisce on every game I've ever played and/or completed. I could add Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2 to the list, I played them before "Mass Effect 3 (3/20/13)" that's listed, but I hadn't started keeping track of games I was completing by then.
The last chunk of the are mostly older physical games I've got working on Windows 10 without the need of the play disc to run the games. I've been having fun replaying older games, especially the original Prey (the one that came one a few years ago sucks) ,The Saboteur and CoD2 (back when CoD was fun to play and not just shitty rehashed trash).
I'm actually currently playing through Neverwinter Nights (and I've got all the expansions). I've also got Warhammer 40k: Dawn of War ready to play through, Star Wars - Episode 1 The Phantom Menace ready to play and Knights of the Old Republic 2 ready to play.Code:Neverwinter Nights 2 (7/1/11)

You can’t call Diablo II complete unless you personally found both a Zod rune & Tyrael’s Might.
Tyarel's Might I found once years ago...as for runes, I don't ever recall getting a zod rune. I'm not a completionist when it comes to games. I'll play through the story and the game is complete. If I like the game I'll come back to it again and again. Diablo 2 was fun years ago, put a lot of hours into it back then. I just wanted to replay it again from physical media.
Been playing Star Wars: Outlaws recently. It was really buggy and I had a lot of trouble running it on my PC when it first came out. But now I've been using Amazon's Luna game streaming service to play it and it works great.
Which is really what this post is about. Amazon Luna cloud gaming service.
I'd been skeptical of streaming game apps but this product is pretty awesome. Works on PC or smart TV. Has Fallout 3 and New Vegas ultimate editions among other things for free for Prime subscribers. Link EA, Epic, and Ubisoft to play games you've bought from them. Everything I've played has been seamless. Frame rates aren't bad. I can play it anywhere there is internet and a device with the Luna app.
Another one is Nvida's GForce. It is free and can link to Steam and other accounts but without a subscription to GForce you have to wait a few minutes for it to find you a server then you only get an hour before it cuts off. During gameplay it will give you warnings of how much time you have left in the session before you have to restart.
I've done some PVP in Destiny with GForce and had moderate success. Not optimal but I can still get some kills in.
It was good.. just no content once you get into the high levels.Quote:

It honestly was a good game.. for a couple weeks.Quote:

Most people could get through the quests and get to carrier and harvester within a couple weeks.
And that's when most people just quit as they have "won" the game.
Only good Dune game is:Quote:

47 hours into Witchfire a dark Judeo-Christian fantasy shooter. It sort of reminds me of Doom with Destiny shooting mechanics. The game gives you an arsenal of light and heavy spells, multiple weapons to equip in three usable slots, stat and skill upgrades, and multiple trinket buffs to create different fighting builds. Plus usable objects and mats for various types of other buffs like treasure and herb location icons on your maps. The game also caters to the explorer with hidden rewards on the easy to navigate maps.
This is a pretty good video that explains some basics.

Early access on Steam. It's a solid and fully playable game but not quite done which essentially means there's free expansions on the way.
