question are any of those games stand alone?

I mean I whish for the old days where you went to the BX/PX and bought your PC games

after MWO I hope I never see another online game

Why cant you still buy PC games? Are they Stand alone? Whatever do you mean?

I see them fro sale all the time in my local electronics store. But just like everyone else, why cut out sales by limiting yourself to stores?

Then why do you bother coming to this forum and posting then? Sounds abit odd to keep visiting a forum for a game you haven't played for 2 years.

Speaking of final fantasy, give ff7 a go if you'vent played it! One of the best one in their series.

FF7 is by far the best one out of the whole series, by a loooooong shot. The story trumps every other one by miles with all dopey faces we all came to know and love.

But i also wonder why someone would come here for 2 years even thought they dont play the game. My guess is you do play the game but you dont want to admit it for some reason. You wouldn't be here otherwise.

Stores that stock boxed PC games that aren't COD, BF4, or The Sims are rare in many places.

Not in sweden i'd say!
Altho i keep seeing shrinking number of games they do carry though!

And the biggest reason for that is probably steam. With all the sales going on all the time on steam, it's just not worth buying it in a retail store.

Edit: A good example is a retailed game is priced around 50-60$ here, while steam usualy offers them for 20-30$ range. It's, imo quite obvious which way to choose where to buy games.

Dota 2
Mechcommander omnitech
Homeworld(everything) can't wait for deserts of kharak
Unreal tournament

[topgun505]

Matt2496 you need to swing by my server.

Let's see. What other games. Well I would play Star Citizen if I could ever get it to install. It worked for a while but then a patch broke it and no amount of uninstalling/reinstalling has worked.

Board games. Considering I have over 100 of them I suppose I should play a few.

Fallout 4 (just started it).

But my main time sink is Digital Combat Simulations (DCS). Flying all the high-fidelity modules for it.

A-10C
F-86F
Mig-15 Bis
Mig-21 Bis
BAE Hawk
C-101
L-39C
P-51D
FW-190D9
BE-109K4
UH-1H
KA-50
Mi-8 MTV2
Mirage 2000
Su-25T (not high-F but it came free so why not)

I currently devise training materials/missions for most of those.

The trend started before steam was as popular as it is now for distribution. More to do with having dead stock when games don't sell as well as forecast, I'd guess, so they only stock the ones that are guaranteed to sell. Also it's been 20 years since I last saw a game store that was fully committed to selling PC games in general because they are harder to resell with the move to online DRM.

[WarHippy]

Sins of a Solar Empire
Marvel Heroes
Civ V
World of Warships
Xcom
(Other random titles here and there)

I don't want to clutter the thread to much, but yes i've to agree with you. I mean they're not at fault, due stocking games that doesn't sell would just cost them money.

Most of the stores that carries / or used to carry pc games here in swe, has focused into more console gaming, so in that way they can still keep up.
But most of them do carry alot of pc games aswell, if they sell however, is another matter. (Apart from the mainstream games.)

[KHETTI]

THERE'S OTHER GAMES!!!......LIES!!!!, GUARDS ,ARREST THIS MAN!!!.

[Leone]

Games I might play right now instead of MWO, even though I just got premium time,

Crypt of the Necrodancer - (~♪)
System shock - Enchanced Edition (Already went through the systemshock 2 revamp an modded campaigns last year)
Xenonauts - (X-com with riot shields n stuff, A very nice addition.)
Mount and Blade; Warband - (Currently running through the Gekokujo mod.)
Shadowrun, Dragonfall - (Yay HBS)

While I've plenty of others, they are not tempting me right at this very moment.

I've backed both Star Citizen, Shroud of the Avatar, Kingdome Come: Deliverance and Warhammer 40000: Eternal Crusade, but I'm holding off on playing those until they're finished or at least close to finished as I've made the mistake of burning myself out on games in the past through early acces before they were even in a finished state.

is SC anything more than mwo in space yet?

IE arena commander

[SkaerKrow]

MMOs?

World of Tanks (though we're on the outs right now)
Armored Warfare (though MWO stole a lot of it's thunder)
War Thunder (also on break as Gaijin gets its act together)
World of Warcraft (casually, for nostalgia)

I did play World of Warships, until I concluded that I hate it.

Editing now that I'm no longer on mobile.

Solo/Console...

Bloodborne
Star Wars Battlefront
Disney Infinity 3.0
Fallout 4
Skyrim
Dragon Age: Inquisition

DayZ SA
Elite: Dangerous
DotA 2
CS:GO
Insurgency
Mount & Blade: Warband

I laser-focus on one at a time, generally.

[Agent 0 Fortune]

Fallout 4 currently consumes all of my gaming time.
Starcraft 2: Legacy of the Void is next on my list
XCOM 2: (when it is released)

At this point I am not sure when I will be back to MWO, Maybe when we get 4v4, or the quirk system gets overhauled (eliminated).

[Novakaine]
