Holy moley. I thought GTAV was big. WTF did they do?

if its like a bunch of other console ports, weak CPUs is the problem. They cant handle live decompression of files so all the audio and video files are fully uncompressed (putting the stress onto the HDD/RAM instead) and in some cases having uncompressed copies of files for every quality type (so if the game had near/close/far textures for an object, every object now had 3 full sets of uncompressed textures...) then do similar for audio in every supported language...
 
Got hooked on Beyond good and evil on Dolphin emulator ,a lot to like in this one.
 
I just picked up Rebel Galaxy Outlaw on Epic. I must say it has a very Freelancer feel to it........With updated graphics.

Why an emulator though? Great game.
 
Haven't finished K2 yet (~10h in) but i'd say so far it feels like both K1 and K2 together are about as big as just Y0.
I'd like to buy Y6 but it feels wrong. Ports of 3-5 exist on PS4 but they have japanese only releases. I'm guessing/hopefully they were waiting for 5 to release (i believe it was this summer in japan) before translating them for a 3-5 packaged release in the west..

well..would you look at that leak!

Yes Gear of War 4 is huge. However, it has a very good co-op campaign and you can now finally buy it for about 4 EUR if you shop around. Now that Gears of War 5 is about to come out and its so incredibly amazing and expensive. Offering an amazing 3 player campaign full story co-op, I almost feel sad that i dropped so much on Wolfenstein Youngblood Deluxe.
No,but seriously Gears 5 is the absolute hype for this year's gaming. 3 player co-op o man, this is golden! If there was a complete story driven action packed interactive cooperative mechanics integrated in the gameplay - it was for sure Gears of War.

Just got Remnant: From the Ashes. It's also a 3 player co-op complete story. From the looks of it, yet another one of those games that you might wanna stay away from it unless you have a friend to play with.
I will hopefully (maybe) Lan party this game latter next week and report back on the fun-level than can be expected.

P.S.: anyone on the hype train for Borderlands 3?
 
@Cvrk
Yep, I'm prepaid up for Super Deluxe Edition BL3. Can't wait!

In the meantime, I'm currently playing Gran Turismo 4 (about 50% completion now) with a McBoot hacked PS2 and Logitech G25 racing wheel... the way it should have always been.
 
Just ESO. Haven't played anything else recently.
 
Well - with my crappy GTX970 card, I am lucky I can play Alan Wake....for free
the 970 is not a crappy card, you just need a couple of tweaks on the games and youll be able to run them fine....that said at 1080p no higher
 
well..would you look at that leak!
SWEET! Can't wait. I'll have to dust off my PS4 for this.

Aw crap, it's basically a freaking 2/3 of a preorder. You get Yakuza 3 now, later Yakuza 4 and finally Yakuza 5 in 2020. This sucks. Also, box version comes out in 2020 once Yakuza 5 is out. BOooo.
 
I just started Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines. I installed the Unofficial patch as well. Right off the bat the game gave a positive experience, with the clan choosing and whatnot. The intro mission is kind of a drag but it is obvious the devs put a lot into the story and atmosphere, which is the most important part for me.

It's been a while since I played the game, but it was pretty good, even before the patch. Hope you enjoy :)

Yeah I struggle to find the reason with these drawn out releases. Its like 'hey, we can't bring this to market in time, so here's a little piece of it at (near) full price - Enjoy!' The first Hitman was dreadful that way. What's the fun in playing a game with constant cliffhangers like TV series, there's a reason binge watching is a word...

Is it out?! Omg
Nvm you mean the old one :D

Been scouting around for upcoming titles... found a few that piqued my interest. Besides the obvious CBP2077 and probably The Outer World - though with the latter, Im starting to get my doubts, it looks heavily consolified and too eager to be Fallout (the quirky side of it). I just hope the combat is smooth and not clunky, because its definitely not going to be 'deep'.

I guess their excuse is that "revision" of English translation takes time. "Remasters" are done, these games were already released in Japan, yet we have to pay full price in advance because SEGA can't finish English release on time.

I know it's a bit older game (2011) but I just finished the finals and race 200 of Dirt 3 Complete Edition.
I must say I'm not a fan of Gymkhana though.

Most likely delayed for translation, 5 just got released in japan. Presumably 4 is being currently translated with 5 following right after.
Whatever the case, i know what i'm buying next once im done with with Kiwami 2 :P

the 970 will run you Wolfenstein Youngblood, Bordernaldns 3, Remnant from the ashes, am very sure the new Gears 5 etc...prertty much everything (maybe not the new "old" tomb raider)...for sure any multiplayer etc etc. All of this at 780p resolution and no fuss over graphical details
There is a single key or word RIVATUNNER!

And if you enjoy Alan Awake you will love the new PC remastered Resident Evil, don't forget about Draugen., and the amazing A plague tale innocence

It was more ment as a joke - sorry. I only play at 1920 x 1080 and using NVIDIA Inspector to OC the card - and Wolfenstein New Order/Old Blood are running without any issues.
 
Holy moley. I thought GTAV was big. WTF did they do?
Yip ! Gears 4 is huge, I remember when I installed back in 2017, great game though, really tweaked well for performance, lots of graphics settings to play with...
