Do you have experience with Fortnite PVP? I assume that there are people who live in the game 24/7 who would wipe the floor with me. :p

Yup. Battle Royale is all I play for Fortnite.

I'm just now learning to build right. :)

Yeah, Fortnite is super fun!
Two weeks later, I’m bored with the grind (PVE), back to working on my base in ARK. :(

I was roped into Fortnite as well. Pleasantly surprised with Battle Royale. I'm terrible at it, but still having a blast.
The issue is you fight in PVP against people who live in the game. I used to love Unreal Tournament (also an Epic Game), never came n first, but sometimes ended up on the winning team. :)

Managed to find my old COD 2 discs and installed it. Yikes. I remember the graphics being better.

Anyone tried BATTLETECH yet? Been waiting decades for MechWarrior: Mercenaries in VR.
Trailers got my attention earlier in the week. Though I may purchase Overwatch since I like that style of gaming more, as it's very much like TF2.

As with all online PVP, you are up against players who live and breath the game. :)

Some friends are back into Conan Exiles, after the latest update, so I followed along.

The problem with it, which based on it’s intent, arguably not a problem, :p is that other than large structures, like in the castle the map video I provided, buildings are not designed with interiors, only facades.
That's how it's always been. If you want exterior and interior, you need to buy the Sims. The game is the 'true' successor to Roller Coaster Tycoon and not the abomination of the actual sequel to the series that came out.

Every once in a blue moon, I will play Call of Duty zombies, but mostly it's X-Plane.

July 2018- Empyrion- Galactic Survival. I’ve had this game in my library for a long while, but some recent changes catapulted it to possibly the most robust building abilities in its class, a building, PVE /PVP, Survival/Creative game similiar to Ark Survivsl Evolved, Conan Exiles, or Dark and Light. It’s Windows only, still in alpha, but has a robust Steam workshop presence with some impressive fan built downloadable blueprints.

Picked up SCUM last night on Steam. It's most certainly not going to be everyones cup of tea, but personally I like the survival aspect and that you don't necessarily have to go around killing everybody.

The world’s unquenchable need for entertainment has turned towards bloodlust as entertainment behemoth TEC1 is set to premiere season two of its television sensation SCUM. This new season moves the contest from the rugged, enclosed indoor arenas to the lush forests, rolling fields, and rugged terrains of TEC1’’s own private SCUM Island. Both fan favorites and new prisoners will clash in a ruthless war of survival while battling for the support of viewers, producers, and corporate sponsors for fame, gifts, and a chance of life after death.

SCUM aims to evolve the multiplayer open world survival game with unprecedented levels of character customization, control and progression, where knowledge and skills are the ultimate weapons for long-term survival. Combining the methodical planning and management of hardcore survival with optional PvP ‘network events’ available to everyone at anytime, SCUM strikes a unique balance between complex simulation and intense action in the next generation of survival game.

SCUM is built with Unreal Engine 4 and will expand throughout the Early Access period. Fans can follow details on development with weekly dev blogs on scumgame.com and on Twitter @SCUMgame.
