XCOM 2's mod community has me drowning in customization options.

And yet it still feels limited.

Friend of mine got me interested in Tom Clancy's The Division. The immersion is amazing, and the environment is a big part of that. Shooters are far from my favorite category of game, and tend to avoid them. This one is fantastic.

I'm thinking about getting a new game and I'm currently debating on whether to pick up Skyrim Special Edition for PS4 when it releases in another week or getting Witcher 3 Special Edition, which is already out.

Anyone played both games and have thoughts?

Witch 3 is great, but to get the full meaning need to at the very least play Witcher 2.

Skyrim, you can easily, EASILY sink over 300 hours into that.

I'm hesitant to get a modern game on my laptop, which isn't optimized for gaming, and I'm certainly not going to pick up an XBox 360 just to get a single game.

I've been thinking about getting the new Master of Orion. Has anyone played it who would tell me your opinion of it?
We hear that there are tumults and riots in Rome, and that voices are raised concerning the army and the quality of our soldiers. Make haste to reassure us that you love and support us as we love and support you, for if we find that we have left our bones to bleach in these sands in vain, then beware the fury of the legions.

Can someone share me his opinion about new Flashback?
You know what they say, don't you? About how us MechWarriors are the modern knights errant, how warfare has become civilized now that we have to abide by conventions and rules of war. Don't believe it.

After GTA Online last night, couldn't sleep... ended up spending a couple of hours going old-school on Super BattleTank: War In The Gulf for the Super Nintendo. A game old enough to drink now... and one best played while drinking, so you have somthing to do during the long, boring treks between targets.

Seriously guys, I mean I get it, not all targets are near each other, but... ugh. At one point, a march between a Hind helicopter and a T-72 tank took enough time that at 75% speed I had enough time to leave to hit the restroom and grab a cider from the fridge, and still was back in my chair with time to check my ammo load before engaging the tank.

I theorize that years after this came out, folks at Obsidian played it, decided that long treks across desert terrain with nothing to do would be fun, and made Fallout: New Vegas.  ;D

Thinking about picking up a "new" FPS for PC with decent bot support, but it seems every post-Black Ops 2 CoD (The franchise I usually default to for Bot fighting) is not optimized for PC, and Black Ops 2 isn't good for Windows 10 apparently.

Anybody have anything like that? Preferably with a decent amount of customization.

Skyrim is crack, straight and to the point.
Then again it does come from the Elder Scrolls line up of gaming drugs, they are habit forming after all.
It's not about winning or losing, no it's all about how many chapters have you added to the rule books after your crazy antics.

I played WoT exclusively for the last couple months, but now I'm back on Rainbow Six Siege.  These new Brazilian operators seem...odd.  At least one's carrying a SAW, so there's that.

My brother played Evercrack, I got into Guild Wars because I didn't have money for subscription fees.

As for Civ, I'm playing the new version and overall it isn't that bad but I'll need a few more games to really get a review.
A few more games, well see you all in half a decade!

Skyrim: SE just unlocked.

New coat of paint, good 'ol Skyrim.

New GPU with which to abuse the game (Ultra-all)

I just got it today.

I'm quite surprised by the fact that the PS4 version supports modding, despite the PS4 version of Fallout 4 being unable to.
