Red Dead Redemption. A guy at work suggested I play the original before I play the new one...so he's lent me his XBox to play it.

Also, perhaps some Steel Divisions which I fired up yesterday and rather enjoyed and a flight or two in XPlane (is it possible to do a loop in a 747? Because I managed it in XPlane - just asking because the general consensus is that it's highly realistic)

F1 2017 to continue my career in anticipation of buying F1 2018 on the inevitable Steam sale - Malaysia next after finishing a disappointing 12th at Singapore - a circuit I dislike intensely and therefore never race - which showed in my performance. I think this is the first time I've got into the second part of the season and definitely the first time I've got to the final 5 races in an F1 game - with the exception of the exceptional Microprose Grand Prix 2 where I did finish a season...the one and only time - and I've had them all!

Enjoy your weekend everyone

Steel division
War thunder ships
Total war arena
Perhaps some naval action - which is I think getting closer to release. At the moment it kinda looks like a christmasish release to me.

The weekend is the great unknown for me again. After playing a lot of Theatre of War and Steel Division, I'm feeling a little WWIIed out. I may switch to Wargame Red Dragon. I've also reinstalled the entire Strike Fighters 2 series and will be applying the great Vietnam and ODS mods. Dunno...just had the urge. Other than that, probably something with lasers, spaceships, aliens and power armor.

Endless space 2

Hearts of Iron IV (unless my installed mods are once again obsolete by a new update :pullhair:)

JD I think you'll like Red Dead Redemption. It's not repetitive like a lot of other open world games are and the story is interesting. I can't wait for the sequel to come out.

Meanwhile I'll be playing Phantom Doctrine, Heroes & Generals, Grand Kingdom, and maybe some Nino Kuni 2. It's a long weekend for me so I'll be spending some time doing some cleaning in our basement. I'm going to try to get started on turning it into my man cave.

Space Hulk Tactics releases Sept 1, iirc? I've been messing with Ascension to get in the mood (and to appreciate any improvements. That game gives me a headache due to the visual design.)

Well, I did buy TOAW IV so still trying to relearn/grok that.

Need to get back to some racing games so maybe Dirt Rally or F1 2017 - which I haven't even tried since buying it. :P

Wild Blue Yonder still on the table. The campaigns look really interesting so will start one of those up.

Finishing touches on my garage reno. Last little bit is on the top of a 10 foot ladder... not my favourite place to be.... :(

I wish. October 9. Battle Fleet Gothic Armada 2 comes out in September, though...you should start playing the first title to get into the mood. lol

(Well, gosh, what's coming out on the 1st? Maybe I'm just imagining that date... ??? )

I do like GothFleet, but I haven't played it much yet.

Is this out already? Excellent! Post impressions. This one's on my definite maybe list.

Steam just put up a new scenario for Mansions of Madness
2nd Edition called Altered Fates. It looks inventive so I want to get the gaming gang together to play it this weekend.

Also, I just received the two player game Spirits of the Wild
which my girlfriend & I will try on Sunday.

And for some late night gaming I want to start a TOAW 4 scenario. Not sure which one yet.
