I've really slowed down on acquiring PC games at the moment, I have too many as it is. Though if there is a really good sale on Total War: Warhammer or a few other games on my wishlist, I might pick them up.

I am looking forward to the release of Comancheria from GMT Games. Should be a rather epic solo board game to tackle over the cold months. It has you controlling the Comanche tribe over the course of almost two hundred years, dealing with war, culture, technology, etc. The same developer did Navajo Wars, a somewhat similar game, and it has rave reviews but isn't in print for the foreseeable future.

I think I may want to get a VR headset of some variety, but still doing research on that.

That does sound interesting. I don't usually play board games, but I've been kind of thinking of getting into them.

PM me if you want some suggestions, there are literally thousands of games out there. Just need to know what you are looking for.

So, what game or games are you hoping for this holiday season or what are you going to buy for yourself anyways and why?

I play a multitude of things. At 64 years old I think my gaming days are getting slimmer. I just can't find anything interesting.
Played WOW since about 2007, latest expansion is meh. Just too many years to find this game exciting any longer.
Diablo 3, played for 3 years, just can't play it anymore. Grim Dawn, the same.
Tried the Mass Effect trilogy again, boring the second time through...
Tried Divinity, original sin, nope...
Tried Galactic Civilizations 3, what a waste of money.
Flashpoint Campaigns, good game system, but limited scenario time frames all based on a what if that never happened. Lost interest for now, but I watch the forum for expansion news.
Waiting for release of Operational Art of War IV, with the fixes to turn burn and expansion of the map size this could be ok for awhile.
Looking at Command: Modern Naval and Air, Looks ok, pricey for my budget, so I hesitate because I gotten so many crappy games lately.

Pretty sure I'm in a big rut in my gaming life (which spans 35 or so years).

What I would really like to see (and I won't in my lifetime) is a real good Science Fiction wargame. Not a rock paper scissors style (which they all are right now). Something like a hybrid between War in the Pacific and Command: Modern Naval and Air.

But as far as Matrix goes, TOAW IV and Flashpoints next release are on my list. Possibly Command: Modern Naval and Air.

Yeah at 64 I'm in a rut for gaming. Might be due to my age as they sure don't cater gaming to my age group! Ha!

I seriously doubt I will be buying any new PC games--I already have such a large backlog that I don't believe I will ever play all the games I currently own.

But I might buy a new gaming computer if the price is right. The one I have is six years old and is in the shop right now.

I am not sure when they are coming out but Sanctus Reach, Wars of Succession and TOAW IV would be the Matrix ones for me to get!

No, it's a download. It's one of the best for any age! [:)]

Really? I imagine it would require reading and understanding of English, so it won't be for my sister's children yet. Her oldest (5-6 years or so) has just learned to read little of Finnish (our native language). My first thought was to buy the game on my account, download it on to USB memory device, and hand that over on Christmas eve. But it looks like it would be better if she (sister) makes an account on GOG or Steam and I gift the game over on her account instead. How large is the game? Does it take hours to download?
