Sparetime Online Games

[LincsLongwool]

So maybe every evening after you've eaten and you're sat on the sofa surfing through TFF do you play any games?
Like Farming Simulator seems to be a big hit, or Simagri if anybody plays that?
Let me know below

Been dabbling with Farming Simulator since FS 13. Currently on 17, will wait a few months before I look at the latest one, give the modders a chance to get some decent maps out and convert the Courseplay mod to the latest game.

Games are my main source of entertainment.

Played farming simulator some years ago and enjoyed it very much.

I enjoy Simulators, Space, Sci fi, RPG and strategy games.

Total War: War Hammer, X3: Terran Conflict, Sid Meirs Civilisation 3, 4 & 5, Pillars of Eternity, Battle Tech ..

+1 for Farming Simulator and Civilisation series

You never cease to amaze me!

Civ is ace but I am just too carp at them to buy it.

I love the total war series and X3 (they are all good), but mostly play company of heros and Dawn of War.

Farm sim just seems to go from strength to strength but I don't have the time for it, I used to get heavily into modding for it. A real good challenge.

I love all sim games, and some first person shooters.

Would highly recommend Star Trek Online but beware it is quite addictive.

Space engineers is excellent if you can learn it, Arma is the best military sim/FPS there is, but red orchestra 2 is pretty good.

A great free opensource game is Transport Tycoon Deluxe. Very very good for the builder/thinker sorts out there. https://www.openttd.org/en/

Also, if there is anyone reading this with a half decent PC and who is contemplating taking the plunge into PC gaming but hasnt yet, they need to get their skates on because Steam have their black Friday sale on right now and It will end before too long. Fallout 3 for £7.50, Flight Sim X for under £8, there is tonnes of stuff for very reasonable money.

PUBG and battlefield 5 are my go to’s at the moment. Either watch sport or films can’t be doing with reality TV at all so when the OH is watch her crap I have to walk out.

None of my mates were ever really into gaming so just dollied about on my own in servers but by chance stumbled across some Scottish lads and play online for a hour or 2 3-4 nights a week. Good job my work PC just happened to come with a decent GPU and ram.......

I don't have the reflexes for the serious onliners now. I have never got on with Battlefield as a series ever since Battlefield 2142, I preferred Call of Duty but that has got stale now.

Seriously, try Red Orchestra 2, it is cheap and a much much more steady realistic experience.

Hmmmmmm.
A little more sedate here.
Think online scrabble.
Just Words With Friends on phone.
Play against and a little chat on the side with friends and family.
Negates all the carp that goes with face ache etc.
A few of us lads on here were playing chess online a few months ago.

Used to play a lot of Gran Turismo on the Playstation. From the first one right through to GT5. I did get 6 but not really got into that one.

 

[Extreme Optimist]

What is this "Spare Time" business??

 

[ollie989898]

I suspect the non-gamers on here think we are playing toy soldiers or something, I will put up some screen-shots.

 

[Jackov Altraids]

I've got other games to try but can't get past fortnite at the mo.
It's the game I dreamed of existing in my youth.

I’ve invested in a PS4,currently renovating a bungalow on the farm for me and OH to move into so I’ve decided when we actually move and whilst I’m waiting for Her to return from work at night instead of me driving 35 minutes to her house I could squeeze some gaming in,I’ll prob never use it but guess I should tell her that I’ve bought it

I do a bit of iracing, for people who like motorsport and always thought it would be cool to be a driver it's brilliant. It's a sim so very accurate.

 

[Doing it for the kids]

Boom beach, have it on phone and iPads, each game last about 4 minutes, it’s free, it’s fun, it’s satsifying.

 

[LincsLongwool]

If we have any mates then over PC or anything, what do we use to contact them?
Discord seems to be the go to for me, it's free, reliable and the possibilities on it are amazing - still getting used to it though.

You bloody will use it if I buy Fifa

 

[ollie989898]

Discord is a lot more user friendly than Team speak and easier to join groups and lobbies I find.

If you have a spare £7.50 you can buy road redemption, anyone who remembers road rash will find it familiar. It's basically street fighting at 180mph on motorbikes. We could even have a Friday night fight night, I'm sure there are no end of candidates who would quite enjoy giving me a beating.
