I haven't gotten it yet. I've got an S8. I've heard bad things online about the S9 update.
My early gripe was due to the navigation bar not hiding...but solved that...sort of. That issue now gets a 'slick' merit. Time will tell, but it sure seems like a massive update with more whistles to figure. Mtc

Anyone here play anything on PC? Just built myself a new rig and need to put it to use for something outside of a game I could play on console. Suggestions?

If you like world building, solving complex problems, trains and infinite ability to customize, Factorio.

There's a demo out there for it, which I'd suggest trying first.

Resident Evil 2 Remake, CIV, Breath of The Wild in 4k is insane, XCOM2 is always fun.

Two big surprises on PC this week with announcements that Steam will be getting a release of Halo: The Master Chief Collection and Dwarf Fortress.

Apex Legends is incredible but they really need to buff Pathfinder/Caustic/Gibraltar, too easy to hit compared to the other characters with no compensation, I want to play all these characters but feel like I'm just putting myself at such a disadvantage that it takes away enjoyment. There is great potential with this game though, hopefully the devs don't screw it up :pray:

I haven't played more than 20 minutes of any game in two months. FINALLY gonna try and get a handful of hours in this weekend and I picked up Resident Evil 2. Hour in and it's really impressive. Never played a RE game since the 1st.

Division 2 just came out, and the amount of content in the game is absolutely staggering. It's a looter-shooter done right.

I bought the Ultimate Edition on PS4, and I've been having a blast playing since Wednesday. It's supposed to run great on PC though too.

I've been playing it for two hours on PS4 and it's legit a lot of fun, especially when you find a gun that suits you. Like other games I always gravitate to the manual MK-17 and once I got that the game went on easy mode.

Had a lot of fun playing this weekend.. there's just so much to explore. Some of the story missions are insane, they are a lot of fun. I'm at level 22 at the moment.

My favorite weapons thus far have been the M249B, Police M4, and CTAR-21.

The Police M4 with an extended magazine, and with the extended magazine perk gives you like 72 bullets. The gun has basically zero kick, and is very accurate. It shreds.

Those are all solid. Call me a nerd but Cities Skylines was absolutely awesome. Got about 60 hours or so into it and still pick it up from time to time. And make sure you play Civ V not VI, VI isn't bad but IMO V was farrr better.

Heroes of the Storm is a free moba type game. I never got into it but my friends are obsessed.

Honestly the rest are MMOs, PC exclusive games just aren't that prevalent anymore.

I would second the Division 2 praise. I enjoyed the first game, but my experience so far with #2 is wayyy better. A lot of small incremental changes have added up to a great upgrade for the sequel.

I have a group of friends that I squad up with and I'm one of the frontline fighters that helps to suppress enemies so that someone else can flank them basically, so I'm running around with an exotic shotgun and an LMG right now.

Also, as someone that lives just outside of DC, it's been a lot of fun running around neighborhoods that I actually recognize and DC has been recreated in crazy good detail. For example, I recognized the Old Post Office (now known as Trump International Hotel) after I finished a mission across the street.

Why can't we ever get games/movies in actual Milwaukee? All we got are Wayne's World stock photos and a crappy Transformer sequel.
