@coliver I think he's talking about the suggestions for purchase. But my strategy these days if I don't have anything next on deck is to just randomly install something and play it until either I'm hooked or tired of it.
I have about ~920 installed and ready to go at this point
How many of those have you actually played? OTOH, that's saying some great things for how available games are becoming for Linux.

My gaming rig is sadly Windows, and as expected crashes non-stop.
I've played a LOT, if you don't count all of the sequels to ones I have not yet finished. Tons of them are series that I am working on, so it is unfair to count those like separate titles from a "have you played them" perspective.
My wife played three games start to finish just yesterday. So we really do use them.

GTA5 holy crap have they added a lot....
-
Played Adam's Venture: Episode One last night as a family.

Since GTA4 or since you last played GTA5?
-
Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes... standard casual game mixed with RPG with a Star Wars overlay. I'm playing it on iOS and Android.
-
@scottalanmiller Since I ast played GTA5
they've added clans (effectively) a ton of new missions, tons of new weapons and cars
-
That's cool. As part of just updates or with DLC?
-
@scottalanmiller Free updates, I had to get my PS3 controller working again with my system, so didn't play much last night but there is so much more.
-
Nice. I have every GTA game from 3 - 4 with all the DLCs. Waiting till 5 is cheap before I jump into it. I get to own lots of games because I don't buy any when they are full price or anywhere near full price. It's a tradeoff. Very much looking forward to GTA5, though.
-
@scottalanmiller Do you prefer to only purchase through steam, or have you considered some of the cheaper online retailers where you can get the game for $30?
-
Total War Rome and Total War Empire. Dominations on iPad and iPhone.

I playing a game in my head right now "Why the F is my coffee cup empty... how to auto refill...."
-
I downloaded Vermintide and Elite Dangerous last night. I setup my gaming PC in my living room again but still stuck with a Steam Controller, which is actually pretty great.

I did end up grabbing Elite Dangerous: Horizons this week. My advice is to enjoy ED and skip Horizons for the time being. Lots of little details need fleshed out yet with Horizons. The best ways to make money are still fighting in a High-Intensity Resource Extraction site and rare commodity trading. Fighting in resource extraction sites is actually safer for me than rares trading (not hauling illegal goods around all the time.)

My brother has started to play it a bit so hoping we can do some flying together. I've been reading that a flight stick is basically required have you had the same experience?

I'm playing through Jade Empire now (It's a freebie from Origin if you have an account there). So far, I'm enjoying the story. The game play on a PC keyboard isn't bad. The game seems to involve a lot of culture from China, if I understand the story right.
It's a good play so far, with a good story (that's all I really care about, ha ha).

I already had a nice flight stick, so haven't tried the mouse/keyboard thing. It should work if you've got some sort of game controller tho (XBox or Playstation type thing.) I can do everything I need but open menus via the flight-stick. I'm a solo-mode weenie, and not afraid to say it.

Good to hear, I'm going to try it tonight for a bit hopefully. We'll see how it goes.
