Hey y’all. I’m just looking for some cool, like-minded G+G folks to get back into PC gaming. It would be great to have some people to game with regularly. Most of my friends aren’t PC gamers or don’t have the time.
What games are you playing? Right now my “goto” is PlanetSide2 but I am also planning on new run throughs of Cyberpunk and Witcher 3. I also dabble in Red Dead 2 online.
The only game I play on PC (aside from Solitaire 😂) is ‘The Sims’ which I highly recommend if you like simulation games. Although you’re better off getting ‘The Sims 3’ and/or ‘Sims Medieval’. ‘The Sims 4’ has some good packs but it feels very much like a virtual doll house at times. And it can be glitchy as hell at times too although I’ve not came across any compared with other players.
You know you can snag Sims2 for free because it is abandonware at this point. I think it has all the packs in the collection with it too.
I’ve had to move onto the EA app after they forced us Origen players onto it a few months ago. From what I’ve seen it looks like the Sims 2 isn’t on there. I’ve got it on my PS2 though😅. ‘Sims Medieval’ is good if you like Medieval themed stuff and you get to do quests with your Sim. So unlike Sims 4 it doesn’t feel like a virtual doll house😅.
Sometime next year, I plan on finding an older Desktop to run the original Sims games.
Sims 2 it out on a few abandonware sites. I think even the internet archive. I am assuming that is legal since it is no longer sold and possibly not part of what EA owns.
Welcome to the world of PC gaming! There are so many amazing games available that I’m confident you’ll discover something you enjoy. If you need assistance getting started.
