What are you playing?

[Apocalypsee]

I'm on a nostalgia streak again. RTCW still looks great and remains one of my favourites. I well remember the day I first put the CD into my Pentium II/Voodoo 2 and I was blown away.

MoHAA and RtCW are two WWII games I usually play back then. I play MoHAA a lot more though, like 3x more than RtCW. What graphics mod did you use?

It's been a while since I modded the game and as far as I can remember it was one of the RTCW HD Packs, although there are the Venom Mod and Real RTCW on MODdb, which I haven't tried yet, but now I'm curious.

I have them both and each are very well done. Each has more than just GFX updates, the enemy AI has also been improved/refined.

@Splinterdog I would take the old/original textures over the new in that first screenshot any day. They're higher res but they're really bad textures. Second screenshot does a much better job on the wall.

Pretty sure there's some bump-mapping going on there, which looks nice well done.

Look what i found lurking on one of my drives - Wolfenstein 2009, a much underrated game which used to be on Steam but now finds itself in IP hell.
Looks great with some silky graphics and the gameplay is fun too, although I never got past about half way through. You can see where New Order picked up from, almost.

Yeah, I usually don't install mods to improve game as I love to keep it as original state as it could get. But its worth to check out some mods, like GTA silent patch to fix some of core game problems, and there is GTA SA mods to make it look like in PS2

Wolf 2009 is an odd game but I liked it as it stick with WWII time, it just extend the 'black magic' thing in RtCW. Even though I thoroughly like New Order I still prefer it stick to WWII timeline and not an alternate 60's 70's if Nazi wins.

I have been playing The Outer Worlds on XBOX Gamepass today, not a bad game but there is some harsh stutter if you run the game on ultra for no real reason, on Very High it is gone.

Odd when i am not using my 5700-XT's full ability or Vram.

Started over in Mechwarrior 5 because I was a total noob with reputation between all the factions, ending up with just one friendly faction post-3025...

Now I solo the game with a Kintaro-Golden Boy... man this is fun. Its like a shotgun on legs.

Speaking of Mechwarrior 5 - it's now on Game Pass on PC. Yay, $4.

Nice, though I hope they will keep it until post DLC because that looks to be a big one. Should launch just before summer.

Played it yet?

I'll give it a spin during the weekend. This and Streets of Rage 4.

Mother of god...

Even the AI destroys the game in this one...

 

[Splinterdog]

Wolfenstein Colossus has some cool weapons, not to mention the panzerhund in all its glory.

I was playing Metro Exodus when I saw the most horrifying thing I've ever seen in the game.

Imagine walking up to free these slaves and finding out that not only have they freed themselves, but they've freed their minds. They appear to be interacting with a plane of reality I can only conjecture on. Terrifying.

Look at em, straight chillin. Smug bastards went and got all enlightened. All in all the game is much buggier than it was the last time I played it.

Fortunately the arnies never change. I've taken to calling the humanimals 'arnies' because they sound like very scared, confused, and angry Arnold Schwarzeneggers. I can't seperate myself from that now. Every time I hear them all I see is poor Arnold in grave distress and it upsets me, so I try to kill them quickly. I shouldn't have shot-up a whole mob of 5 or 6 of them with the incendiary rounds... it was awful... I loved him in the Terminator series... what a cruel, desolate world.

EDIT: I didn't even catch the one sitting right above my ride! He would've been sitting right above Artyom's head the moment he stepped out, haha.

Definitely RTX ON. Most dynamic shadows ever!

Yeah panzerhund was fun but I didn't like the hub based design. It's like it all went downhill from og remake onward.

I missed her so much. Morrigan, one of my favorite characters of all time.

Streets of rage 4 (game pass on PC) - played for about 20 minutes. Quit, tried to launch again. Doesn't start at all. Splash screen for 30 seconds then returns to the game pass app. Gj MS and devs!

Streets of RAGE sounds appropriate.

So... I figured I'd pick up DOTA 2 again, after more than a year. DL the game. Start it up and get greeted by this

Hi, welcome back... here is a new skin for 32,50. In a full page ad, with no obvious way to get out of. That little X besides Flockheart's there, is not there right away, and its not really that noticeable at all. When I hit escape... I find out this is their new way to push store content. Its just right there embedded in the game browser itself.

WOW. Next level. Desperate. Instantly motivated to never spend a dime. Well done

When you hit escape... keep in mind the whole damn thing is also moving along with your mouse pointer. Its like they're literally dangling it in front of you, in case you didn't see it the first time

I'm playing A Plague Tale: Innocence. I'm a couple of hours in and wondering if it's worth my time and if it gets better as you play more.

Great game imo and totally worth playing trough. 'Unless its really not your cup of tea'
