What are you playing?

Okay, a few Assassin's Creed Odyssey screenshots.

Spoiler: Screenshots

Yep, THAT Herodotos!

Not playing as such, but you know how I go on about Obsidian? I probably will not do so as much from now on.

That's Chris Avellones very candid stuff about Obsidian in general and the people running it specifically. It's not pleasant reading, and it seems it was their own fault for not getting to do Kotor 3 or another Fallout; because they were/are shit to work with. Specifically upper management.

Sadness.

Because Microsoft owns them now?

Found some not-so-interesting facts about Forza Horizon 4.... while searching the net for reasons why FH4 kept crashing at random intervals (between 10-60 mins), I did my own research. Turns out that Nvidia's latest v411 drivers are causing some weird issues on the UWP's behaviour in terms of memory handling. So, after cleaning the entire driver suite; inf files, registry & graphics drivers etc via DDU, uninstall GFE completely & then downloaded v399 since it was the last known "stable" driver release, I install only the display driver & not GFE, turn off some could-be-conflicting startups annnndddd.... the game no longer crashes. Runs smoother & memory handling/usage no longer at 80% as what the reddit users are reporting. Now resuming my 3-4 hour+ gameplay a day for FH4.

Rimworld is out of early access, trying it out.

I finished Tron 2.0, good game. It crashed twice and some parts of it were quite frustrating (especially the light cycles thing). Overall I liked it.

Looking through my library of games I haven't played yet...I think I'll try Tiny Bang Story.

A few more screenshots from AC Odyssey. 51 hours in and only 34% through the game. PC Gamer said it best (to paraphrase): This world and all there is to do is huge! No wonder it took Odysseus 20 years to make it home from the Trojan War. Athens is HUGE! It may one of the largest game cities I have seen, at least top 10.

Still on Horizon 4. Leveling up each skills is not an easy task but its very rewarding. Seasonal events is a plus too; where using the correct car is key. Other than that, the multiplayer room is just an extra, marred by hitters, trollers & grievers. Though playing with friends is one of the many strong points of the game. Too bad The CREW 2 & NFS Payback is dying coz of how bad they execute their ideas.

NFS Payback is dying coz of how bad they execute their ideas.

I don't think NFS has been good since 2006, most of the new ones can't even be modded. Purists think Porsche Unleashed was the last good game.

Has anyone tried playing modded NFS:MW with Pendulum playing in the background? Not a lot can top an experience like that.

Just started playing RAGE on Nightmare. Trying to get at least 90% single-player achievements in a single playthrough.
The game has its quirks and flaws, but it's still fun and engaging.

NFS: Porsche is still my favorite, though I've also enjoyed Pro Street a lot (with my Logitech racing wheel).
I think the only one I've touched since 2010 was one of the mobile NFS games on my iPad a few years back.

@EntropyZ NFSMW 2005 was the last great game before EA started to butcher the entire series with Payback. Though the last true hurrah of NFS was the 2015 release of Need For Speed (weird name but u get it), but that game too went out like a light after the PC release was delayed till 2016. NFS ProStreet was one of the games I ACTUALLY enjoyed, apart from the random crashes & freezes it came with. Pretty much sums how the game comes from being great to a pile of hot garbage. For Payback, graphics were good, but net play, cheesy lines, cliche story, unstable servers, random issues & lootboxes ruined the whole thing.

playing zombie army free on gamingsessions, feels great to shoot hoards of nazi zombies in the head.

Personally I find stoner rock good for driving, both IRL and that game.

Pick up zombie army if you haven't, great game for free. Already got a 300 headshots achievement I have a question though, the game is not limited to 60 fps, but it is limited to 60Hz. People suggest a solution that only works for steam. Is there any way I can get it to run at 165hz with gamesessions ?

Spoiler

 

[Tsukiyomi91]

maybe try to edit the game profile with Nvidia Profile Inspector? if not mistaken there's a way to lock fps to a specific game, assuming Zombie Army is added to the list. Did that to L4D1 & 2 by locking the fps to 120, since going past that isn't beneficial anyways...

Gentlemen, who ordered some flying cars?
I plan to get a CCX.R or a Skyline as soon as I get the cash.

I just noticed that the cop car lights reflect off the player car and the road. I don't remember that happening in the base game, or I am just remembering trying to play this on a GeForce 2 MX... It wasn't pretty... 800x600 and low graphics... *WW2 Flashbacks ensue*

450 headshot kills in zombie army on day one. Enough. The game is too addictive.

Yeah, it really is quite fun!!

Suffering the 3 last prop planes in the Japanese tech tree of War Thunder. Wanted a challenge, got more than that. Every other nation seems easy to fly after grinding the most expensive and overtiered planes of the game.

Finished Tiny Bang Story and the puzzles in there...lack explanation. One is a pipe maze sort of thing but it never explains to you that you need to block the flow so I spent a very long time trying how to increase pressure, not decrease it. Another puzzle simply involves rotating a thing. If you rotate the wrong way however, it is unsolvable. That's bad game design right there. Overall it was okay but it's not something I would have paid for.

Downloaded, installed, and played Zombie Army.

Don't know if anyone else is having this issue, but I have no sound using USB headsets. I've tried two different sets and nothing!
Running Windows 10

Played now about 2/3 of the first Far Cry, 2nd hardest difficulty. This is challenging enough, I tried the hardest years ago, played about 3/4 and nope, I got stuck. The game is not lying about the "realistic" difficulty's description, "forget paradise, this is hell".

Made sure to set default audio device in Sound properties? If that don't work, can always try disabling everything that isn't the intended audio device.


Bought installed Gothic on my 2008 Vista laptop. Absolutely no issues making it run. It just works. I'll probably be playing that until I finish it.
