Path of Exile is a game that I've tried over and over maybe because I don't pick fun builds but I always quit eventually never make it to maps. I put 900 hours into d3 and stopped playing that early last year. I was planning on giving PoE another try when they add the new acts because redoing the campaign 2 times burns me out so fast.

This would be my recommendation as well. Also maybe something like Civ.
I'd recommend something like Stardew Valley, which has tons of content and is easy enough to get into.
Also, if you don't mind the learning curve, the Paradox grand strategy games will let you sink virtually endless hours there, and are really fun once you get into them!

Awesome thanks for the suggestions turns out I have stardew valley from a gift so I'll check it out right now.
Oh wow I didn't know they made a sequel to the first. I vaguely remember playing N+ on xbla 360 it absolutely destroyed me back then. Honestly looks great I'll grab it tonight.

I won't be buying the release. CVX isn't even a favorite of mine, but I'd have bought a new port especially on PC. This will probably sell far less than the original rerelease on PS3/360 since even with the PS4 emulator it's still a inferior product.

If you are digging Prey there is a Philip K. Dick short story you might like called, "Colony."

Hows the pc port for Prey? Good shit?
I really did not like how the ps4 demo performed

Technically, N+ is also a sequel to the first game, N.
Very good by all accounts.
Sigh... Why the hell did 2K decided to use their own proprietary Cloud Save system for Civ 6 instead of just using the built-in Steam Cloud service?
My work Firewall is super strict and blocks the 2K servers but not the steam ones....
So basically I don't have cloud saves support at all in Civ 6... This is fucking stupid.

sweeet. I get paid on Wednesday and System Shock 2 is one of my favorite games
Pretty sure you'll be happy here, then.
I knew exactly what would happen in the opening of Prey and still grinned the whole time. Can't wait to be able to sink in most of my day tomorrow.
Took a chance on this, and an hour in: it's really, really good.
Currently playing as a woman who has mind control goggles. You can take control of animals to solve puzzles. Haven't done this since Space Station Silicon Valley.
The controller mapping was a little weird and on screen prompts don't show the button name, but number. Other than the initial hump of setting it up, I'm enjoying the hell out of it.
You owe it to yourself to try it at least.

I just thought about Dead Rising and how it might've made them take the easy route. Such a shame...

I just beat Resident Evil 7. I really liked it for the most part except the times when it tried to be a shooter.

I'm really impressed with what I've played of Prey so far. It's a silly little thing but I loved that the first thing I was able to do when in my apartment was just hold and toss almost everything in it. It's not all bolted down like most of Eidos-Montreal Deus Ex games and Dishonoreds are.
I'm also impressed with how well it runs and that the file size hasn't been frivolously bloated.

Alright, so I dipped my toe in Expeditions: Viking (the GOG version, which is still on version 1.1.5 rather than 1.2 *grumble grumble*) and it's got a good start. The combat in particular is a quantum leap forward over Conquistador's, with all kinds of stats, abilities, status effects, and environmental effects that shape how combat plays out. Only thing that I don't like is the camera angle, which is locked in this weird overhead askew angle that feels wrong; you can turn it, but never vertically. The story and characters kinda feels like the History Channel's Vikings TV series so far--lots of vikinging. It's gud.
The thing the Expeditions series continually proves is the merit of deep historical RPGs. I'm surprised Logic Artists are the only ones out there really making games like that. It's this genre that's hiding in plain sight--utterly unique, and filled with potential.

I'll get back to it in a few days, ran into a few scripting bugs that should be patched up now but I'm deep in Far Cry Primal atm. It's fantastic so far, already have seven people in my hird and the concentration on characters is a nice change from Conquistador.
so,RE CVX on PS4 is the PS2 version

so long for PC release
What fucken losers Capcom are. The game got a PS3/360 'HD' port, could they port that instead?
Over 100 fps at 1440p on very high with a GTX1080.
Edit:
Current benchmarks aren't reliable, unfortunately, as the SSDO and SSR settings are broken and aren't actually enabled unless you turn them off and then on again. Someone in the PC performance thread running a 970 mentioned that his framerate dropped from ~90fps, which aligns with benchmarks above, to ~60fps after properly setting them to full resolution -- a hit of around 33%.
pretty done

Don't even question Capcom's porting/platform choices on their games. They have no fuckin clue what they're doing. So much money left on the table is all I'll say when it comes to their current and back catalog.

I got the preorder stuff in Prey. Maybe all PC users get them.
Yeah, Bethesda didn't replace the pre-purchase sub after the game unlocked and flip-flopped on the name change to "Prey Pre-Purchase". The store page no longer mentions the items, though, so the post-release sub will probably go up at some point.
What about musou games? They sound perfect for what you want

Haha, yeah there's some bugs. I upgraded a character's skill and then the skill description turned into coding gibberish. Also there seems to be no way to see an enemy's gender in combat, which isn't a bug so much as an oversight. (Yes, it matters in combat!)
The classess progression is awesome though. As is the reputation system. It just feels very reactive; like, it's one of those RPGs where you can kill people via dialog, which is pretty much a benchmark for a Good RPG™.
Pick a free-to-play game and abandon all sense of time. Marvel Heroes, Warframe, or Star Wars: The Old Republic would be my first suggestions. Just something you can really sink your teeth into in terms of content and things to do. Just note that you'll want to spend a small amount of money to make them playable in the short term.
Or just play Total War: Warhammer or some other large strategy game. Same principle as the above: plenty of content to lose yourself to. There's much more substance here though, so you'll need to have your mind in the game--no zoning out here!
