What are you playing?

That sounds like a nightmare inventory-wise. I read there's less weapon variety this time, but if the game drops loot as commonly as in the last two, that's still way too much to manage. You guys sure it's not just a bug?

There is much less loot, but in a game this big it is still going to add up quickly.

I hope it will be patched.

Not played CoD since Cod but started playing Cod cold war tonight. Not bad besides the campers but enjoying it. Loving the cross platform on it

Def relevant for you Norse slaying chaps

That really helped a lot! I went with his recommended settings and getting 70-80FPS @1440 which is perfectly fine by me. The FPS is still pretty sporadic much like the bench but that is down to the game right now.

I didn't know horses could swim (in game) [I still haven't read all the tutorials]

And I've finally unlocked the leap of faith.

That was indeed better. Ty for posting.

And I've finally unlocked the leap of faith.

So now it's an unlockable. Good to know. Thanks for sharing with us! I've taken two days off from the game. I'll be doing a few hours tonight.

Close to 20hrs in and i can see most things of old getting unlocked in one form or another.

Finished Yakuza 5. God that end fight was long.

 

[Calmmo]

Dont think i can even remember the ending of 5. I guess it was too much playing 3-4-5 and 6 back to back. They all got kinda mushed together in my head.

I have established my village in England in AC Valhalla. It will be interesting to see this new concept of building up the town over time.

Yeah those games are really intensive on the plot side so I'm not surprised. I can't even remember how 4 ended. I do remember Kiryu getting stabbed in 3.
Hows Y6 btw? Box is pretty much always on sale but I heard that it's really limited.

 

[Calmmo]

It's not bad, the new engine combat is not quite as tight as the old one and comes across as a bit easy. It's shorter than the late games on the old engine (like the huuuge 0 and 5), oh and some parts in Kamurocho are strangely missing (they weren't finished in time from what ive read). Everything is voiced too, which is good and bad. (always kinda speedread all chat in sidequests in the older games, waiting for the VO feels... sloooow)

Every time I start up a new game now, I'm curious how the ultrawide support is.

Grim Dawn... started up on good old 1920x1080... but lo and behold

This is glorious real estate for such a game
Time to roll another character...

Yup,GD is one of those games that runs just fine with UltraWide and looks great.

Its quite a gamble tho, you never know.
I've upgraded to this 2560x1080 monitor in early 2019 and the support in games is all over the place.

Some old fart games are completely fine then we have a new-ish AAA game that needs ghetto fixing like config file editing or HEX editor. 'mainly to remove black bars, user interface can be still out of place in some games'
Flawless Widescreen software also works with certain older games.

I got ahead of myself in Valhalla somehow. I got to Britain with a power of 11 and at the time i didn't realise i could go back and lvl up. So i snuck around and gathered resources and found a way to lvl up quickly without fighting much. Although i did die by sht...I think that's a first for me. Now I found my way back in the land of a power of 1 with the power of over 25.

I think that adding the info of the ultrawide support to our comments will be great, that way we can share which games have support for that aspect ratio and which dont.
And yes!! at the beginning I felt weird, skeptical looking at my monitor and playing. But know the inmersion is way greater.

That’s why I don’t follow a story on-rails. I explore and plunder all over the area, no matter the game.

This. Currently only doing the Highpoints, and a bit of looting.

Ok, I am truly impressed with the visuals in the fens and marshlands. Just finished a raid on a camp and it is night. The fog has set in thick. We are rowing extremely slow due to the thickness of the fog.

I find it very immersive too. It reminds me of 22 years of wintertime driving into New Orleans for work. The fog down here is some of the worst I have seen, barring the UK, of all the places I have lived or travelled. The fog’s effect in this game is extremely realistic in it’s movement, the way shadows play tricks, and the way sight distance is limited without just being a white wall. Thumbs up!

I did that and ended up at the next objective before actually taking the quest, let’s just say I grabbed the horse outside rode away as fast as. I could....in hindsight I may have needed that horse...

AI Wars 2

A 4x RTS game. The "story" is that an AI has taken over the galaxy. You (the player) are an "insignificant" threat to the AI. As such, you're allowed to take a few planets from them and they won't bother you. But each time you take a planet, the AI-Progress bar ticks up by +20. If you destroy something interesting to them, you'll get AI-progress, etc. etc. The AI has infinite resources. As such, the name of the game is to expand while keeping that AI-progress as low as possible.

For RTS players / 4x players who are accustomed to the "expand at all costs" style of game (ie: Civ 6, Starcraft Brood War, Age of Empires), this AI Progress mechanic is a simple twist that changes the strategy in interesting ways. Obviously, making a "perimeter" of well-defended "Military planets" is a good idea, but expanding the perimeter naturally means taking on more AI Progress. You weigh the pros / cons of taking a planet: maybe its resources are too few, or the AI Progress too steep to really take over. So you end up building a lot of isolated planets to try to negate the AIP score.

Eventually, you expand to the point where the AI starts to pay attention to you, and the game suddenly switches into a "Tower Defense" style game, where an infinite swarm of enemies launch upon your defenses. While dealing with that, you're still trying to deep-strike the core of the AI to ultimately bring victory.
