Speaking of MMOs, anyone regularly play ESO? How’s the new expansion?
I'm playing it, bought the expansion but didn't do the story part. I did level a necromancer (new class and comes with the expansion) though. It's the new best stamina class and going forward we (guild)
will use them in trials (raids); well, until they get nerfed again. Did also the new trial and i hope they will change it a bit up because it's too much talkie talkie form the dragon in between the fighting (where you cant even do any damage), that just plain sucks. but the gear is nice, new meta stuff from the trial.

I've never been into MMOs. I tried one back in 2013, but my wife almost killed me for how much time it was taking from my life... or from her. I forget what the game was called; you would call in these warhead missile things into the earth and pull the sources. You would "thump" or something. Had a team. Attacked tornados and shit. I don't remember.

EDIT: It was called Firefall.

I play it and bought Elseweyr... but I haven't actually done any expansion stuff other than roll a necromancer and then immediately start the base-game main quest. I got as far as Cold Harbour and then I started Divinity Original Sin 2 and now it has a claim on all my gaming time. I should probably cancel my sub for the time being...

Sounds like the necromancer is the point of interest for most people lol. Thanks for the insight!

I’ll have to get around to giving it a try myself sometime soon!

I'm also back in when Destiny 2 releases on Steam. I have the original game from humble monthly, but I wasn't interestes in buying all their expensive expansions to keep up with the game. I believe two mandatory expansions were already released when I got the game. I expect the regional price on Steam to be lower than Activision tax.

I've been thinking about that as well. Risk of Rain 2? ;)
Like Terraria?
I meant a monthly or weekly "meet", during the weekends, where we could try out games we probably are yet to play with other fellow Meta members.

It's frequently hard to find a decent group of people to try out multiplayer games, without having screaming whinny kids insulting you for whatever reason.
It would be great to have a beginner friendly group of people to occasionally play games with.

We could, for example, vote for a game to try out (or two; I mean, we could possibly split things between a couple of groups, with two different games, to offer an option), and play online.

Just an idea. The format, and games to try would be up to the community.

My necro is magicka based and I've never felt so powerful while levelling in this game. Also the whole "some spells are crimes" thing has only effected me 3-4 times. I forget about it because it happens so rarely.

Bought Contra Anniversary Collection and while the games are great, man this is just a quick and dirty console to PC port. To clarify, no resolution settings...not even a fullscreen, window, borderless window options. There is no button customization at all and finally, there's no way to exit the game unless you click the "X" on the window.

Yikes! I really hate when I can't change the resolution. There's no fullscreen? WHY?!

Assuming that The Master Chief collection sells as well as the popularity of it's wishlist performance suggests I imagine we'll see a Gears collection on PC sometime down the road.
This is why I've yet to jump on 4 despite looking forward to 5. I expect a collection from MS, because it seems the obviousn ext series to do so with.

Konami going really low effort I see.

Are there any cards that are earning an above average amount?
I have like 29.000 gems, and I'm looking to craft cheap(ish) boosters whose cards I can sell for >0,10€ each. :)

Is it true that the seperate games in the Master Chief collection will only cost 10 bucks? If so I will pick up the ones I want (Reach, 2 and ODST) definitly.

Also, anyone played Phantom Doctrine and can tell me how it is? Can get it for 15,99€ currently on Voidu and am interested in it.
I did play Phantom Doctrine quite a bit. What would you like to know?

well, yeah, at this point, after more than 3 years and 3k hours the overland story (and combat) stuff is not really interesting any more. don't get me wrong, it was fun and all when i was new(ish) to the game but the thing that holds me is the trials progression with my guild. we are doing the hard stuff and that's what keeps me playing at this point. and we are all (not all, but the majority) old so we don't play every day for hours. we are not the best guild but in some harder stuff we are under the top 100 -150 players (and a trial group is 12, so about top ~10% for eu; don't play on the us server). so what's interesting to me is new class, new skills, new rotations, new gear.

and because we had so much ff image spam, here some eso chars (my dps mains):
magica nightblade (and crafter):


magica pet sorc:


stamina nightblade khajjit (something for the catpeople weeaboos from the last page!):


and the stamina necromancer orc vampire:


not pictured are my tanks, healer and pvp chars ;)

Game defaults to fullscreen for me :x
Do you have a 1080p monitor? I have a 1440p so when I booted the Collection up for the first time, it went to windowed mode and I just let it stay like that or else I have to go to extra lengths to quit the game.

I have a 1440p, so I assume if you had this issue... I will as well.

I thought about creating a thread for this topic, but I figured it would suffice here.

Future Gaming Goals

Wolfenstein
  • I'm currently replaying New Order.
  • I plan to attack The Old Blood & The New Colossus this summer.
  • I'm not sure where Youngblood falls in all of this.
  • I have no plans to go back and play anything before New Order.

Yakuza
- Should I start with 0?

What about you?

The annual pass for Destiny 2 is mine... Gods help me. This game has an unnatural hold over me.

Anyone else here still play it?
I also just jumped back in with the season pass. The amount of content available was kinda overwhelming and I didn't know where to start but it has been a lot of fun. Right now I'm focusing on doing all the Exotic quests so I'm prepared for Shadowkeep.

Coming back to Destiny also just reminded me why I don't really like Borderlands and other shlooters in general. The gameplay especially the shooting just pales by comparison.

The insider beta tests start this month. Not the full game release.

I was planning to get Wolfe 2 some days ago but for some reason didn't. I still have to play The Old Blood so I might end skipping W2 this summer sale in order to get something else.

Regarding Yakuza, yeah, start with 0. I debated this with a friend and yeah, Kiwami is a weaker game and you might get a bit disappointed with it if you compared it with Y0, but in compensation, its story get much more compelling if you finish Zero before it.

In other news, YouTube recommended me one of the best songs from Sleeping Dogs for some reason and I'm itching to play that game again. One of my favorite games ever, can't have enough of it.

FH4s Lego Speed Championship is really cool, but I don't like the cockpit view in the lego car(s), so I just play with third person camera, I usually play FH4 with cockpit view.

Yeah, agreed. But The Division 2 is pretty decent too imo. Got kinda tired of it pretty quickly though.

I started with the Season of Opulence questline because you get 690 power items in all slots. I'd recommend it if you're not at least that level yet, because the grind to do it for real would be immense. You can get all that gear in less than an hour and then the drops you get from other activities will help you get even further.

Just got back from a 5 days vacation. Seems like I only have.... 27 pages to comb through! Not bad MetaSteam! Not bad!

It's okay though, it will be fun. I'm pretty sure that catching up will be so much fun, one single post at a time. Every... last... one... of... them...

Just 4 days for me (attending a wedding of a cousinabroad), and it was about 13 pages for me (though I did lurk a bit the few times I got some functioning wifi)

Fourth A Plague Tale foil. Can devs raise the drop rate?
I don't think so. You're just a lucky bastard. ;)

Can't complain too much, I got one today as well, the first in years (after crafting 30 or so booster packs of different games, I finally got a foil card).

Bloodstained drops today, so I'm like f5f5f5f5f5f5f5f5f5f5f5f5f5f5f5f5f5 in my mailbox.
I'm really looking forward to it, despite some of the campaign (namely, everything involving 505 Games) leaving a bit of a sour taste.
But, considering how I'm still working a ridiculous number of hours each day, 6-7 days a week, for at least one more month, I'm not sure I'll get to play it before next month. :(
