My friend got me into their Factorio server and I mostly just watch them build their incredible machine of train and conveyer, but when I play alone I get to feel my brain wrinkling in effort to try and build a nice efficient factory lol
I understand now what everyone said about it, in hindsight. It's terrific.
Besides that I got caught up in the Battlefront 2 hype wave and have been enjoying that well enough, especially for a game I got for cheap (free? I cannot really recall)
I've also been trying to get some friends to try the demo for the new game Jump Ship which is a pretty slick game that mixes so many influences I love in a specific way that appeals to me: a little bit of Sea of Thieves in the coop ship management, a dash of roguelike by making the 'jump route', all playing in a comfy Destiny clone FPS system. Glad people are trying to make the coop spaceship command sim I've always wanted but now I need friends to play it
Is that star wars battlefront 2? Is that still around?
Yeah, there was a big community event thing, as well as the May the 4th star wars marketing lead to a big resurgence in population since Andor also ended at around the same time. There hasn't really been a big Stars War game released besides that single player series that I found to be pretty boring, personally.
It's been an interesting phenomenon watching these franchises kinda sorta fail to capitalize on their own hype by not having simultaneous releases of a new game, thinking back a similar thing happened to Fallout when the TV show came out and everyone found themselves picking up Fallout 4 and 76 if only because they're the latest in the series even if they're ages old now in gamer years.
2006 or EA?
EA
