Have 2 sons that game (one 26 other 15) I have played them all and like you in the 90's was a big time Wolfenstein / Doom /Quake / Duke Nukeem player.
I did the whole Halo thing wiht my older son when he was younger and recently the entire Destiny thing with my younger son.
When Minecraft was beta testing I purchased 3 copies for myself and my 2 sons, we were all on there together building things and surviving. Buying it back then granted you lifetime access to the game, we can still log in and play today all these years later. All for $60 invested 10 years ago +/-
About a year ago I purchased and downloaded the Wolfenstein reboot game on Steam and really enjoyed it, took about a week to beat it. This one however seems to be really complicated and involved, I can tell it will be a huge time investment. I guess just go at my own pace it will always be there when I want it.
Yes rwest - I agree, if it takes my mind off day to day stress then I am for it.

The kids and I talked dad into playing Far Cry with us. We told him to stand behind these sandbags and shoot everyone that comes from that direction. Same thing in Counter Strike: Global Offensive. Told him stand by the hostage and shoot anyone that comes your way. He also likes driving the dirt ovals on the computer as well. He used to do that for real back in the day. He likes pinball too now that he found that on Steam. Mom on the other hand...
