You're right y'know...although to be fair, it's not just naughty redheads... 

Whoo Hoo

Just another week or so for the release of Total War Warhammer II, finally get to play around with some naughty Witch Elves

Got kinda bored conquering the Old World with the Dwarfs

Always found the series looked goud, but stayed away from it. Don't need yet another thing To eat up My spare Time 

I love it, that's why I don't play it!!!

Much

Eagerly awaiting a price drop on Steam for Dawn of War III, that'll be winter sorted! 

Well Total War is the reason I dispensed with the entire lead mountain, its got pretty much the lot (up to WW1) also theyre better painted than I could ever manage and the battles look great spread over my 81" desktop (3 27" widescreens). Anything not covered by the official releases is usually found in mod heaven the Totalwar website. I love it and it has saved me a fortune over the last year or so.

Except on download costs...

Ugh! Computer games! You wouldn't catch me spending time on Dawn of War or Total War ... too busy in Elder Scrolls Online

Found ESO a bit ponderous, the levelling is too slow, the loot drops too sparse, trying to get some gear is difficult. Just not my favourite MMO.

These things are very much "each to their own."

I'm finding it a nice change of pace after a decade in EVE Online.

For me, in ESO the levelling is waaaay too fast (as it is in most MMOs), loot drops are almost irrelevant and I build my own armour, weapons and provisions.

Different strokes for different folks.

Best looking MMO for sure is Black Desert Online the only downside is that the population is 90% female all looking like 20 somethings and all stunningly beautiful, go figure, its Nik's idea of heaven. The real downside for me is that theres no dungeons so no chance of luvverly epic boss loot dropping.

Black Desert is indeed huge, sprawling and beautiful but it's not so much an MMO (other players are like slightly quirky NPCs) or an RPG (as said, where are the dungeons? ) as a chance to play Civ or Railroad Tycoon as a character not a player

I'm always heavily involved in crafting in RPGs/ MMOs but when I realised I was not so much Conan the Barbarian as Conan the Carrot Farmer I dropped it and went over to ESO!

I came to Black Desert from TERA so ESO is a breath of fresh air in that female armour actually covers the bits armour ought to protect rather than looking like an advert for Victoria's Secret. Whether people consider that a plus or a minus I leave to them.

Currently its Elite Dangerous thats eating all my time, I need to make 5,000,000,000 credits by sometime in June, since I never learned to mine (Asteroids) and combat is way too slow (Bounties) and trading goods makes way too little profit that only leaves being a dirty little space trucker (think Hermes delivery driver). All games eventually get reduced to time sinks (apart from tabletop games, the effort that you put un is dependant on you, paint each mini with loving care and research, or base them then spray ine side Khaki and the other side Grey and just have at it, YMMV)
