I'm currently playing ArcheAge: Unchained; it is my first time playing ArcheAge. It seems a bit different than other MMORPGs. I downloaded the Europe version, but the NPCs in the game talking with the Korean language.

The other thing is that I learned this game was pay to win before its free version, but in Unchained version, the developers are removed all of the pay to win options, instead they added cosmetics. That is a good sign.

So RDR2 runs like total crap...no surprise. However, particularly annoying are the drops to 0% gpu usage and the game freezes. I thought I saw some discussion about that in here but hard to find on a phone with all the pics.

I believe it was on the 1st impressions thread or W1z’s benchmark of the game discussion.

Just finished a replay of Bioshock 2. I do enjoy spending time in Rapture.

I'm currently working through the Remaster of Bioshock1. Really enjoying it!

Apex Legends... yup. New map and season are pretty good. Mostly the map - still didn't spend a dime but boy is it fun. The new weapons and mods have really fleshed it out well and the new map plays like a massive UT2K4 onslaught. You can start the game landing on a train with a highend supply box at the end of it... Great locations that play like small maze deathmatch maps, lots of vertical stuff as well like skyscrapers... Pathfinder and Octane can really get the parkour thing going here. Its also no longer possible to play half the game outside the ring because it hurts a lot more. This has improved the dynamic as well.

Responsiveness of the game has also massively improved, hit reg is great now. Do take another look if you haven't, its worth.

I just found that in my Steam library and completely forgot that I had it, so I'll fire it up. Improved graphics?

Yes, a fair bit. Nothing spectacular, but noticeable.

Yes. I might be crazy(someone correct me if wrong), but the game engine itself seems to have been improved as well. The physics feel more intuitive and everything "flows" better. Dig in my friend! You will not be disappointed.

Installed the original just to remind myself, and maybe it's just me, but it does seem like a big step up in the excellence dept. You know my tastes, I'm not easy to impress and I'm impressed.

Completed Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess HD.

What a mind-blowing masterpiece! Impressive emotional gameplay with best boss fights ever, zero bugs and cool artistic design. Link vs Dark Lord Ganondorf swordfight is the best thing I've ever experienced, it's the most intensive and interesting boss fight ever. Devs. even put fairy in one of the skulls so if player was foolish enough and get hurt they can regenerate! I didn't need that though, I honed my sword skills before the battle. Swordfight physics and controls are so realistic and accurate, it's unbelievable. No more words, it's just perfect.

Ganon's demise, Midna's tear shattering the mirror, Stallord fight, King Bulblin saying "enough" these are the moments I'll never forget.

There is a definite improvement in graphics plus they added support for modern resolutions. I put some comparison screenshots behind the spoiler tag for anyone who is interested. The first is the original and the second is the remastered.

Exceeded my expectations for a game centered on the comedy aspect involving talking corn stalks.

Its still a cesspool, make no mistake...

Played a bit (well, more than a bit) of The Red Strings Club. It's a mix of adventure game with interesting minigames set in a cyberpunk setting. It's fun and requires you to pay attention and actually follow the story. It's on gamepass so if anyone's interested give it a try.
It's really short, about 3-4 hours but there are multiple branches of story.

jaggerwild · Nov 27, 2019

I think I picked up on Dyinglight in this thread, I must say it took me quit a while to even find the game(with a activation code that worked) 2 months. I am simply blown away!!!! The game is kinda jiggly cause it was made for X-box, so aside from the controller issue and the open world(I get side tracked every time)I love this game. I'm like 40 hours into it, and 55% finished. As others have stated not sure ill finish it. I have the Bomb(had it a few days now)it seems like a glitch as I can't even find where to deliver it(and Now Im into Sector 0)so not sure I skipped past it like in FO4 UGH! Playing on a 1080 Vanilla seems smooth.

I think I’ll try harder to befriend horses more than I did on console.

Finally picket up Shadow of The Tomb Raider. Is it just me or does Jonah actor keeps getting changed every game? At least this time he actually looks like Samoan or whatever pacific islander native he is.
This game makes me wanna experience HDR. That damn Linus always plays this for his HDR content reviews and I wanna experience what's all the noise about.

This makes me also sad that Uncharted isn't in PC. I want more archaeological adventuring damnit! Fortunately I also picked up the previous reboot trilogy of Tomb Raider.

Pick up a PS4 during black Friday (more like week). You can get all the Uncharted games on the PS4. Four main games and one spin off.

Nah. I'll never be compelled by system seller exclusives tbh. Specifically because of gamepads. Even though I played the new Tomb Raider games with X360 controller, I still changed to KBM as soon as something needed shooting.

Its not precisely archeology but its a real gem, and you can emulate it on PC: Shadow of the Colossus. Ever saw that? Mind blowing. And it does involve gorgeous ruined stuff
