The non-ME3 games recently enjoyed by ME3MPrs

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is 66% off too for another 40 hours or so. Picked it up for $19.79.

Not sure if anyone appreciates me reporting relevant Steam sales, but hey, it IS a non-ME3 game recently enjoyed by an ME3MPr

Good call. One of the most awesome RPGs of all time (Oblivion > Skyrim). And Knights of the Nine was probably my favorite sidequest in the whole game. So, so good.

On temporary retirement from ME3 until I get yet another replacement lolps3 controller (eff you Sony). In the meantime, Xcom 2 has been pretty satisfying thus far. 

At this point in time, Red Alert 2: Yuri's Revenge mod call "Mental Omega", they just updated to 3.3 bout a week ago.

If you have RA2:YR, go check it out, tis 100% worth m8.

I just beat Warhammer Total war fun game... The stuffy total war series really needed the warhammer fantasy setting to get things a bit more varied like magic, commanders that can out melee entire units flying creatures, different races, magic, a fucking OP flying gryphon for your commander... First Total war i enjoyed in a long long time

I was enjoying RA2:YR until I upgraded to Win10 and updated my GPU drivers this past spring.  I did both at the same time, so not sure which it was that caused it, but now the graphics on YR are completely messed up to the point of being unplayable.  Vanilla RA2 is unaffected, strangely enough.

Was thoroughly enjoying that game up until that point, despite never having played it until it popped up as Origin's free download a year or so ago.  It's amusing seeing all the actors in the cutscenes and trying to remember where else I've seen them.  (Compared with RA where I only recognized one actor, and RA3 which blew its budget on much more recognizable faces).

Witcher 3 was fan-fucking-tastic, if I had an Xbox (or if they had released it on ps3) I'd definitely give Witcher 2 a try. 

Broke down and got Injustice finally on PC since it was only $5 on the steam sale. Been wanting to see how Lobo plays. Also playing as Death Stroke on Fallout 4. Cheating alittle with him using a black widow and Piranha. Even in Bethesda games, I can't leave mass effect too far behind.

Been playing a lot of Dota 2 lately.

Darkest Dungeon was half off and is an interesting distraction. Still playing ME3MP though.

I've been in Endless Legend for the last week or so. If you like Civilization games Endless Legend is basically a clone that adds more to the system, in a fairly standard fantasy setting with some original ideas. It is extremely customizable, including diverse victory conditions. At least within the scope of the game the various factions play quite differently from one another. I started as Necrophages. They get a debilitating loss of agriculture, but instead get a food surplus you can use on any city, and it's generated by how many corpses there are on the field.

My only complaint would be a lack of unit types. Basically there are only a few. They try to address this by adding unit customization in the form of gear that can greatly alter how they play, but not enough. The core mechanic of the unit generally stays the same regardless of gear.

Ie. Necrophages have three units. Pillagers, which are fairly fast/high initiative melee units. Also great as fodder. Then you have Necrodrones. Flying beetle-like squishy units that pack a good punch. Their final unit is the Proliferator. When it hits something, if it dies, at the end of combat the unit is ressed as a basic pillager. Cool, yes. But that's their core strategy, doesn't matter how you equip the proliferator that's basically their best strategy. Proliferate an army of fodder and hit hard but precisely with drone flanks.

The problem is that's the only strategy for them really. Without more units with various core options to swap in an out their strategy gets stale fast. Sure you could cut out the proliferators altogether and just go in with a drone swarm but that seems more spiteful than strategically sound when you only have so many options.

I got to the point where I basically won with the necrophages then quit(read: got bored) and started a Vaulters game that's going fairly well. They are a turtle science race that I'm playing for military victory mostly by using their (ridiculously useful)ability to teleport units from city to city.

You do have the options of changing your race to let you change your overall combat strategy but with only three units each race only has so many options. The rest of the game is amazing, but combat is feels very, definitive. You find out how that races three units work best together, equip them best to that role, then rinse repeat to victory. Not a lot of options for change within the empire. That being said there are custom races but they use a template of one of the base races.

I liked it, if it qualifies as a recommendation. Fighting system took some time to learn for me. Liked the story, there's some impact on your choices too, which is nice. As a bonus Geralt is hot, imo.
