Lon at LonTV did a brief play through which I thought was good.

And yes, it plays on Windows 7.

Speaking of Bloodborne.

Sithaer · Jun 11, 2020

Finished Metro Exodus with both of the DLCs.

Can't say that I'm disappointed 'like I was told',sure the game felt a bit different than the previous games but not in a bad way imo.
Story was also alright with me, did not expect more to be honest.

Had my fun with it and thats all that matters to me.

Now I'm not sure what I will play but theres a rather big update today in Borderlands 3 so I will go back and check that out until the next DLC is relased 'June 25' and also waiting for the next Diablo 3 Season as usual.

+Also grabbed Witcher 1+2 Enhanced Edition on GoG a few days ago for pennies so now I have the whole Witcher collection, plan on playing those after I'm done with the DLCs in Witcher 3. 'probably sometime this summer'

There are some very strong rumors that a remastered version is coming to PC and PS5 (and it'll fix the performance issues). It may even feature on Sony's game presentation today.

My Satisfactory save is now over 100 hours and I'm halfway done on my second out-of-base train station.

Playing some C&C remaster, and the job that was done on it, is simply phenomenal. Blizzard should take notes, if that rumored D2 remaster isn't at least half as good, they aint gettin my money.
Anyway, never played the original C&C, so it's kinda fun to blaze through the campaign. Red Alert on the other hand was probably the first RTS that I have actually sunk a large chunk of time into. And it was the PS1 version Retaliation, no less. It's turn will come after the Tiberain game.
It looks like the game is selling well atm, so I wouldn't be surprised if we get a similar pack in the future with Tiberian Sun and RA2:YR

cucker tarlson · Jun 11, 2020

got back to gta5,the story keeps getting more and more interesting.liked the heist-easy peasy with the gas,loved the introduction to trevor part.

this game still looks damn good.glad there's pcss cause in a game like that I love how soft shadows look in sunshine.
I've seen low 40s though with pcss,msaa4x,txaa and ultra grass enabled on 2070S.I have draw distance and long shadows cranked up to the max too.

comparing to watch dogs 2 imo gta5 looks slightly worse in the city during the day and a even more so at night,but outside LS it looks better.
I just wish LosSantos was a more interesting city to explore.It's kinda meh.The way Ubisoft recreated SF in watchdogs2 was on another level.I finished the game long ago but exploring the city is something I rarely get bored with.

Same situation as me, never played the OG C&C but I do play RA and RA Retaliation a lot back then. I need to finish C&C first before playing RA (saving the best for last) because I wanted to know the story a bit.

Still playing Code;Vein. But after 400+ hours I hit a wall trying to solo the last DLC boss at Level 1, I completed the game twice as Level 1 already but the Thunder boss takes the p***, too many mistakes and too many chances to get killed in 1 hit or blasted a second time after recovery. Not entirely impossible to do, but the damage I do is so low it becomes a battle of attrition and he has to be taken down fast or he will buff to be even more annoying with less openings, and I don't have infinite stamina as a Level 1 unlike someone at level 90-100 who have a major advantage in boss killing. Looks like there's little point in streaming me dying over and over. It's a self imposed challenge but the DLC bosses are scaled to someone who has already leveled enough and beaten the main story at least once.

I found a good strategy but it's completely messed up by the boss attack RNG and a number of attacks are slashes that have hitboxes the size of the boss itself multiplied, sometimes I get lucky enough to get him to 15-20% of HP before he pulls a wombo combo. The last hurdle I want to get across before playing on and off only to join other people in Co-op to help with the game.

The amount of tries it's taking I've been able to get the horror hunting achievements that my other characters do not even have.

seriously,those crisp rasterized shadows need to just die cause they're a disgrace.I hate them.if it takes a whole new dxr api and new gen cards for devs to do shadows properly I'm more than glad to get on it.
I'm also glad that pcss are available in a lot of aaa games I play and don't require rt hadrware to look just splendid.

rage ultra soft vs pcss

amd chs doesn't soften anything at all.they take a bigger pefromance hit but look worse than in game ultra soft.

Dipping my toes into this thread. Bought Star Wars Battlefront II (2017) and the old school Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy during EA's Star Wars Day sale this year, and now that my rig is in working order (using my heatbox 580 until my 1660 Super gets here) I've been playing the snot out of BF II for the past few days. Single player stuff only though (Arcade, Instant Action mostly) because I'm still very much a beginner who's visually impaired -- meaning I can't really see my targets from a distance (Phasma's scope is my best friend lol) and only when I'm kinda close to them. Forest maps are a no-no, because I can't see. It's funny, but when I bought my AORUS monitor, I was kinda mocking the fact that it came with game assist options, such as a crosshair, and now that I'm playing this game and needing to use the crosshair, I can appreciate the usefulness of it :laugh:

All my vision problems aside, I really am enjoying it. Really has come a long way since the original abomination came out. Glad I decided to wait and grab it.

forget single player,play HVV.
It's mostly close range combat on small maps.
And get chewbacca if you you just wanna smash people and shoot them close range.Was my favorite to play.Or just get one that fights with a sword - Vader is fun to play.Goes around choking people.
The HVV mode is a lot of fun,it's about the only multiplayer what doesn't make you angry when you lose.

I actually wanna see what has changed,haven't played in a year or more.It's still one of the prettiest games out there,and runs like six million dollar man.On gtx 1080 ultra I was getting 90-110 fps mostly at 1440p ultra.

1. I may get the ovaries to jump into multiplayer eventually -- I think it's the only way to actually level up characters? -- but I'm having fun with single player right now (and being able to freely play as Phasma, Kylo, and Lando) and practicing!

2. Like Chewie in the movies, but he's not my cup o' tea in the game. Besides that, I believe he's been heavily nerfed since the game first came out. Dunno, keep reading comments about how he's been "ruined" and such...

3. I did play as Vader once. I liked him. Built like a tank :rockout:

4. That's good to know, as I've been reading quite a few threads on the official forums about, err...less than good sportsmanship (something called "tea bagging" came up quite a bit, and if it's what I think it is, then yeah, big reason why I'm in no hurry to play multiplayer. That and rampant cheating. If it's anything like the game my in law plays (Call of Duty, on Xbox) then yeah, I want no part of that. I swear enough as it is! :roll:

I think my RX 580 pushes about 80-100fps (if I'm lucky), with most everything set to high, with the exception of reflections and stuff like that, which I have set to medium. One map in particular, Bespin, has incredibly jagged textures, most noticeably when inside the complex. I could literally see the jagged-ness while having Lando go down a long hallway. The outside areas were gorgeous though.

I don't get that, I'm afraid.
By the way, Easy Anti Cheat is owned by Epic (Div 2 is a Ubi game lol) and you have to put in a support ticket which is a complete waste of time because I did the same with FC5 and Aura lighting service not being allowed and after about two years something was done about it.
How much I hate anti-cheat crap.

home made breathing mask! breaking news in 2016!!! nice find man rofl

on topic - I just finished every single single player event and campaign in Hearthstone (though I had most of it done already going all the way back to Naxxaramas expansion in 2015 or whenever it was). I also have been doing some Sid Mier Civilization marathons lately, which has been fun.

but still can't figure out to cheat in Civ 3, 4 or 5 sadly.

Completely agree with you, Lex! I want to guess and say they did it that way to encourage people to play the multiplayer experience but still, doesn't really make a lot of sense, especially to me as a single player type of gamer. I don't know why they couldn't have just made it possible for characters to earn EXP in single-player stuff, but maybe at a decreased rate compared to multiplayer? Besides, by the time a character got to, say, level 20 or higher, the player would switch to playing multiplayer because it would be painfully tedious to level up any further in single player. But anyway, that's my thoughts on the whole thing.
