Re: What are you playing these days ?

Recently been going through my Steam games because I have way too many games that I've yet to play.

Currently playing:
-Stealth Bastard Deluxe (will go for the sequel after it). Great puzzle game. Fun and punishing.
-Dota 2. Got into it like 3 months ago and I'm semi-addicted.
-Team Fortress 2. This game is always on my list.
-CS:GO. An hour or so every now and then.
-Pool Nation. Amazing-looking pool game. Plays great, too.
-Rocket League. It's worth the $20 I put into it. Community's a bit... toxic, but it's something you can ignore.
-Insurgency. The Counter-Strike killer, in my opinion. Focuses on realism and teamwork. If you go solo, you WILL die. Repeatedly.

Waiting for my Ogero line to decide to show up so I can download more games. Top of the list are Bioshock Infinite and a bunch of Total War games from the last Humble Bundle.

Which TW games? If Shogun 2 is in there download at soon as possible, then download Rome II, or Attila if you bought it.

Rome 2 is much better than Shogun 2.

No, Rome II isn't as balanced as Shogun II, in Rome II a spear unit will do some damage to a cavalry unit and that's it, in Shogun 2 a Yari Ashigaru will obliterate a cavalry unit, especially if it's in Yari wall, not to mention battles are quicker, the UI is beautiful, the soundtrack is fantastic, there aren't lots of unit types (which is better for a first time player)... and shamefur dispray!

I do miss the shamefur dispray but I felt as though Shogun 2 was not as culturally diverse as Rome 2. I don't understand how it's a good thing to have a smaller variety of units. Much of the units across the factions are very similar and thus you have much less replayability value. Also one of the public's main gripes about Rome 2 was that its battles finished way too quickly. I don't think even quicker battles in Shogun are appealing at all. Rome 2 had and still has major flaws such as bugged naval battles, the omission of many instruments like a family tree, bugged and useless politics, bugged sieges, and the fact that it became a DLC cash cow. But although Shogun 2 is less buggy and very enjoyable, I would advise any gamer than can only pick one of the Total War games to go for Rome 2. There's simply so much more to do if you have the time and if you know how to work around the bugs.

Cultural diversity is both a curse and blessing in TW, it's good for replayability, but it's bad as it makes some factions OP, just think of how Oathsworn or Praetorian Guards can obliterate any other infantry unit, whereas in Shogun 2, if a non-Oda Yari Ashigaru fights another Yari Ashigaru, both will have an equal chance of winning.

Shogun 2 is right after Bioshock for me. Didn't get Rome II since it was the only game in the top-tier level of the bundle and the reviews weren't so rave.
Then it's Medieval II: Total War for nostalgia.

That's true, yeah, but this is where the slower battles came in handy. It allowed you to maneuver your forces to outflank any elite soldiers and win the battle tactically rather than through brute force. I even played as the Romans and the Averni and my elite units were decimated many times if I wasn't smart with my movements.

Rome II is pretty good too, bad reviews were mostly in the days of the now fixed graphical bugs, and maybe from that CA made the graphics a bit worse.

Switching to Shogun 2, download SweetFX, Vastator's Unit Style mod, a map mod called Narrow Death, and maybe even Darthmod.

Af for MII don't forget mods like Stainless Steel or Third Age: Total War.

Having the Steam version won't put a damper on mods, right?

No it won't, Shogun 2 is one of the most mod-supported games on Steam, I do recommend installing Vastator's Unit Style 1.3 from TWCenter as you can't use the Workshop version in multiplayer battles, whereas you can with the TWCenter version. And don't forget to join/subscribe to TWCenter, TW forums and r/totalwar if you need help with anything, the TW community is very friendly.

Playing a lot of Rocket League on steam. The best thing about it is that each match is only 5 minutes and can get pretty intense when you reach overtime. Stay away from ranked mode unless you are sure of your skills because the community is unforgiving sometimes.

That's mostly why I stick to 1 on 1 when I don't feel like hearing about what my teammates did to my mother.

I hope you will see the nearly erotic show Quiet will do in some part of the game...she was fantastic.
I am on the last missions now and planning to replay Metal Gear Solid 2 PS2 emulated with 4k DSR as the story of MGS 2 is the continuation of Phantom Pain (10 years later)

Nope!
In reality you have to finish a certain side mission and you will see near the end (mission 44 or something)
