I'm thinking about getting Steel Armour: Blaze of War. It looks fun.
Picked up Project CARS last night for $15. Wow! It takes me right back to Gran Turismo on the Playstation. I haven't tried it in VR yet but people say the experience is great.
This and GTA are on my Wishlist. GTA is currently the lowest price I've seen.
The COD franchise is sitting at 50% or more for those interested. It is kind of Meh to me now because of its emphasis on multiplayer.

Absolutely agree!! I think they are just phoning in the campaign design.....

I won't buy something if it isn't a good single player game. A HUGE plus for me is games that support modding. You can take games like Skyrim or the Fallout series and turn them into something totally different.
Skyrim
The Fallout series (Basically any RPG from Bethesda)
Paradox Interactive's grand strategy
The Civ series
The Mount and Blade series (way underrated IMO and II is coming out in the next year)
GTA
Plus a bunch of others I don't know about or forgotten.

Although I am not excited for the BF1 WW1 garbage. It looks dumb as hell and will have some pretty exotic weapons that were hardly used. I would have preferred a 1942, 2142 remake or a futuristic BF than to go back in time. The game looks more like Bad Company than a real BF. Too cartoonish.
1942 was the bomb. Such a great game. The bots for it were kind of dumb, but you could crank their numbers to ridiculous levels and their swarm made up for the AI. Then there was the desert whatever mod with AC-130's, Bradleys, tanks, etc. which was amazing. The guys who built that mod are super talented. I have a ton of hours in those two games in MP with friends or with 100-ish bots in the smaller city maps. Great game.

I liked 1942 a lot. The ships and planes made the game very fun. However, my favorite of all of them was BF2. That was an amazing game to play mp on.
6 weeks after HoI 4 dropped:
- Mods are already hitting the Steam Workshop. A few of the larger versions are starting to roll out with limited modifications. There's enough you can see their potential.
- The US is predictably very vanilla and an absolute beast. I haven't gotten the hang of playing as the USSR or Germany. The UK and surprisingly Italy are very good options, especially Italy. I hope they don't nerf its abilities because you can choose some really neat ahistorical paths.
- Speaking of, you can also change the gov't of your nation, or even other nations. After a few runs I decided to play as Italy and influence the UK towards the fascist side. It bought me some time, but otherwise didn't do much.
-The US on the other hand, is awesome. Changing a government allows you to do so via elections or a civil war. I took the former and moved the US towards fascism. Invade Canada and the UK. The Germans were out before I could invade France, but Nationalist Spain and Italy were still in the game (the USSR and France focused on Germany to their detriment). I had none of that shyte and steamrolled France. Belgium surrendered and we slowly rebuilt Nazi Germany while pushing the USSR back. That's when I invaded Murmansk. After that it was a slog down through Moscow to Kiev while Western Europe was slowly rolled up. Manpower depleted USSR couldn't hang and now I'm waiting for it to just give up. It is 1948, I have 20 something nukes, and raping the skies with my F-86's and B-47's. I have so many carriers most of them are still in port. I'm waiting for the Soviets to give up.
- Up next, the Communist UK. I don't think I'll have the manpower to tackle the US though. We'll see.

What game is this?
Hearts of Iron 4. It is a grand strategy game. Short on graphics, long on the big picture. You control almost every aspect of a country. Research, diplomacy, production, etc.

I couldn't wait for the USSR to fold so I started the Communist UK path last night. Pretty much every Allied nation (this is pre-US) then bailed on me or became Communist, even the damn French. I was so looking forward to kicking their asses. Anyway, I'm going to invade Germany in the Bremen-Hanover area. I just hope the US doesn't join the Communist faction, otherwise I have to pick a fight. I'll make some territorial claims against Puerto Rico as a justification for war and springboard from it and Cuba into FL or TX.
Communist UK didn't work as planned.

This story needs to be in a sub forum so we can get regular updates.... Gaming Saga
The AI dropped 30-something divisions in Africa while the entire Turkish army (they went fascist) poured down into Syria and Jordan.

I agree, that would make a cracking thread.
I'm still playing DCS. I love the Huey in it (so much fun) but the latest offerings are great but haven't grabbed me (the Mirage and the Gazelle). The Mirage just hasn't pulled in my interest and I find the Gazelle far too twitchy for my ham fist.
Now the F5E that's just come out...she's amazing. Not too sophisticated that you're button pushing all the time but complicated enough to be a challenge- and she doesn't have auto-trim so you have to actually fly it properly.
