    Favorite style of gaming is text-based RPG’s been playing dragonrealms for over 15 years. Besides that, binding of Isaac and fallout 4.
    If we're going that route, I'm still a big fan of Nethack (not quite text-based, but just about).

    I'm a lifelong gamer and have been playing since the Atari 2600. I'm mostly a racing game and flight sim specialist, plus I play a lot of RPGs and resource management-type games.

    Right now I've been sucked back into Diablo III seasonal play. Other recent favorites are Elite: Dangerous, Assetto Corsa, Path of Exile, and Overwatch. Oh, and Football Manager, though I'm not sure if that counts. Most of that game looks like you're working on email and spreadsheets. :) I also recently picked up an Oculus Rift and have been playing a lot of Beat Saber with the kids.

    All-time favorites would include the original Elite, Ultimas I-V, and Bard's Tale on the Apple IIe, the Grand Turismo series, and Sim City, Age of Empires II, and the original X-Com on the PC.

    The Atari was juuuuuust before my time. I have tried to get into it over the years, but it just doesn't stick. NES/Master System is pretty much as far back as I can go. Well, except for arcade machines.

    Been a hardcore gamer since birth. First system was Sega Genesis with Sonic the hedgehog. That's my idol, always wanted to be like Sonic and be super fast.

    Nintendo 64, Sega Dreamcast, and Xbox (1996-2005) was the golden years of gaming in my opinion. The best creative, original, and most fun games were released during that time.

    I don't care for console gaming anymore, it's way too commercial now. Bought my first gaming PC in January. All I play is Arma and Path of Exile.

    @BasedGawd412 I think I can agree with you as far as modern gaming. Tried to play the newer Assassin's Creeds and Horizon: Zero Dawn and Fallout 4... My GOD. It felt like work! There's this surge of popularity in resource gathering. Now everyone's forcing it into their games. I hate it. Give me more Castlevania and Mega Man. Just move to the right for a while then fight a kickass boss. Yes please.

    The only MMO I ever REALLY played was FFXI. Played it with friends for yeeears. It was such a time sink. Just hours of looking for groups and then hours and hours of grinding EXP. I think the only reason I played so long was because it was a great way to chat with people. It was pretty much the only socializing I was able to get

    I find Roblox one of the most interesting games ever created.

    I still have an old NES system. But I really got into gaming with my old PS2. Loved the games on that thing.

    yeah i think it's in NG+ but you can visit the guy who sells armor in Majula and he sells a "butterfly set" that offers absolutely no protection whatsoever, but it constantly poisons anybody near you and also changes your jump and roll animation to a little floating animation instead. it's hilariously awesome.

    Oh wow, that looks great! 😂

    No one (on the first page) mentioned Halo.

    A few weeks ago I just started playing WoW for the first time ever, which actually surprises my friends because they all assumed I'd already been playing for years (it is exactly the sort of game I would play). I hadn't because in the past I generally avoided subscription-based games, but I thought the free trial was interesting enough that I got a one month subscription. I'll see how that goes and decide if I want to spring for BfA.

    I might also try out FF XIV, because a friend recommends it.
