Been playing Bioshock Remastered.

Works on modern systems without having to jump through hoops and looks marginally better (except for the rare graphical glitching)... but either play it with a controller, or be prepared to be very annoyed and in need of config file hacking.

After purchasing Forza Horizon 3 I had to endure a rather painfull 47.3gb download of the entire game after inserting the game disc in the Xbox One.

A week after purchasing I finally got to play it.

Ransom, time to upgrade 56K modem??

I am playing Arkanoid for C64 - as part of RGL. It sucks compared to later Amiga titles, but it was fun back in the day, in late 80's.

While checking OnePlay VIP membership (got it through library), noticed ArcaniA (Gothic 4) games, so I gave it a try and I like it (got both Arcania games, but no Gothic games - except Gothic 3). Nice story, well made world and good fighting system. Still sad for Ivy. (bit predictable, tho)

Bit of research about the issue. A bug with some xbox one games. If it downloads the whole game. Stop the download and install disc offline

I find it hilarious that game has 10 digit score field, and so far highest score is 7,443?!

My highest score I got not even reaching level 2, while in some game play when I got to higher levels I got half the score. Still fun to play and thanks to league try some games.

Cross Code, I haven't had this much fun with a game since I first played Hired Guns in the mid-ninties.

LOL, it is on my wishlist.

Did some test runs with PCem emulator, will probably now play some games I could not get working before on PC due to hardware/speed issues.

Titanfall 2

Got this for cheap at an Australian version of a Black Friday sale along with Dishonoured 2 and Deus Ex Mankind Divided.

The mech sections remind me of Hawken and Heavy Gear, and the on foot sections remind me of a futuristic CoD.

Pretty graphics with a fun (albeit short) campaign.

I was playing the Metal Gear games on chronological order of the story. I finished Metal Gear Solid 3, then Peace Walker (I don't have Portable Ops)... after a hiatus, I finally got Metal Gear Solid 5, which I finished (both games... MGS5 The Phantom Pain took around 90 hours for a really crap ending). Last weekend I finished the original Metal Gear on MSX (took me 4 hours, I didn't remember a lot of things).

Before going to Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake, I actually took a break and played Brutal Sports Football on Amiga and finished it without much trouble. Now I'll be really busy for the next 2-3 weeks, then I'll get back to Metal Gear

Isn't it Gothic 1 - 3, then Arcania (Gothic4) and Arcania expansion (Fall of Setarrif). I kind of stopped playing it, but will continue sometimes in future...

At the moment playing Starbound (PC) and Uncharted 4 and Overwatch (PS4).

Took me some time to install & update PS4 games. So far installed above 2 titles, Last of Us, Lord of the Fallen (got it through PSN+) and Out of this World.

These days I have been playing Europa Universalis IV a lot. That's pretty much the best game of its category, even though it's hard to figure out how to play when you start playing it (I remember my very frustrating beginning with Europa Universalis II).
I also feel like starting a new game on Morrowind. It has such a great atmosphere, it’s always a pleasure to come back to it.
