What are you playing?

[mouacyk]

Few rounds of COD2019 -- I tried, really tried.

 

[Ruru]

RE3 - getting the minimalist achievement aka no item box. I'm sure that I got this but Steam says that I haven't. Well, here we go again.

Hella optimized game as I have everything maxed out @ 1080p and 1080 Ti is about 40-50% usage and uses just base clocks

I may try that on my third playthrough, but for the moment it's all about survival on my first
Anyway, this is some subtle foreshadowing:

And something to make you hungry when the game isn't crashing.

Right? A few months ago, there was a youtube video where someone used AI to upscale a gameplay video to 4K. Everyone was clamoring that a remaster should look like that. Well, Vicarious Visions pleasantly surprised us. I just hope they're able to give the animations a little more oomph, because 3d reskin feels a bit floaty right now. I think that D3 barbarian animations were done really well, especially E3 animations.

Yeah the graphical upgrade looks great, I'm a bit worried about the gameplay. What you said... floaty. That barbarian looks like he's waving at unicorns rather than swinging an axe. The higher FPS makes that happen. No more choppy moves. That's actually also part of the problem in D3. Its 'too smooth'.. the impact isn't there - push button, flashy lights, numbers, next. Grim Dawn nails that, for example, and in the late game when you're not slow and crappy, its not floaty, its just incredibly fast but still feels right. Path of Exile also has it done right ever since they fixed the desync.

Thats funny in a way cause out of everything they done meh or wrong in D3 combat is something they done right imo.
To me D3's fluid and smooth combat is still top tier in ARPGs and one of the reasons why I still keep going back for 2-3 weeks each season. 'its just satisfying/addicting to mass murder demons like that'

On the other end PoE's combat and animation always felt off/un polished and never liked it, had the same feeling when I played it last time in metamorph league. 'idk if its different now since I had no reason to go back to the game'

Other game that impressed me with its combat style and animations was Lost Ark when I played it on the Russian server.
It just felt really well done and impactful/pleasing to the eyes. 'still waiting for this damn game to come to NA/EU..'

I guess it all comes down to personal preference tho.

I 100% RE3 Remake in like 30 hours or something, did the minimalist on the easiest difficulty and then did the hardest run with infinite rocket launcher, rocket launcher was a bit rubbish against final boss Nemesis so I had to use the Magnum for backup.

Starting this today:


Had to apply a 21:9 fix but it seems to work now.
Not sure what to expect from the game cause I might be biased after playing Lis 1+BTS 2 times already and those are one of the very few games that mean a bit more than just a game to me.
Just gonna try to enjoy it for what it is, can't say that I'm not curious.

O right, I did finish Destroy All Humans a day ago, man some of those missions were actually challenging.

You can guess from my nick that I love LiS... it's an okay game but LiS1 and BtS are far better. Tho it's not a bad game

Yea I remember asking you about it in this topic cause I almost pulled the trigger before and just got to it now since it was on sale.

 

[Calmmo]

Well i enjoyed it but it does come with its fair share of David Cage tier cringe. Hated the protag VO.

 

[Splinterdog]

Shoot the fucker in the heart or RUN! Usually I prefer the latter if I don't want the drops from it. And try to become a dodge master, that helps a lot.

Played that already 16 times, 3 achievements remaining.. all the charlie dolls, all the notes and no inventory box opened during a gameplay, tho I'm sure I played it through without the item box, but Steam doesn't agree with me. Damn, I get that now.

If only I'd known! next time around I'll try this.

Once you’ve passed the initial on-rails nemesis encounters, the next time you will see him is on the way back from restarting the power. Do this event too early and you’ll be stuck with Nemesis chasing you while you go round cleaning up, so your best option here is to first grab the lock pick from the corpse just outside the Subway Power Substation, grab the bolt cutters and do your backtracking clean up first. Once all your map is blue, only then head in to reset the power. This way, all you have to do is set the train course at the Subway Office and get back to Carlos and the gang.

Nemesis is a bit of a cad in Resident Evil 3. The big lad thinks he’s the bee’s knees and spends a lot of his time running up to you and punching you

Scripted events (similar to QTE) like this makes things unintuitive and frustrating. Probably why I never liked these games. Game guides love these games though -- gives them plenty of lip service. But - to each their own.

Is it really scripted and controlled by the Devil's own invention, the QTE? I can't even begin to describe how much I loathe QTEs, so if that's the case, I'll pass.

I've seen some of those nodding dolls, but can't seem to pick them up.

Mini vs Limos, realistic damage.

Wreckfest

 

[oobymach]

Q4 is a great game. Looks like you edited your quake4config.cfg/autoexec.cfg?

Oh hell yeah, loaded it up at default values and the tick was driving me crazy, looked into it and found a good message board with the values I needed, didn't take much to fix it and make it look pristine. The worst part is I had to convert all the screenshots, the game takes them in .tga format

You need to knife/shoot them!

And as I've registered in 2012 and LiS EP1 came in 2014, I asket Wiz to change my old nick to this back then.

LiS 2 is hella demanding... Even 980 Ti had problems and I played BtS with 750 Ti without hiccups and LiS 2 doesn't have IMO any better graphics... weird shit.

Wreckfest

BeamNG, Wreckfest, ProjectCars, & Dirt rally2.0

Still haven't bought it and I remember when it was called as "next car game"

Tho still nothing beats Flatout2 from them.

Flatout (1,2,3) runs fine on a potatoe and is great at office breaks.
But Wreckfest is more in line of Destruction Derby.

edit: bought Valheim, gonna play later.

Yup, I still had my GTX 950 when I first played LiS 1+BtS and it was smooth. 'could even use DSR 1440p on my 1080p display'

They keep changing the engine for whatever reason, Lis 1 had UE 3 and BtS had Unity.
Now LiS 2 runs on UE 4 and it exactly runs like a generic UE 4 game.

Imo the Lights/shadows are better but its not like ppl play these type of games cause of graphics, previous games looked just fine.
UE 4 is usually not a fan of AMD cards so I expected average performance and thats what I get.
2560x1080/high AA+Post process+Shadows and rest very high.


Probably I could lower some stuff but eh, its a slow game + playing it with a controller so I don't care much.
It drops to the low 40s when the camera is focused on ppl during scenes.
Ofc I don't have the Afterburner overlay on all the time, its just there for the screen.

I'm playing Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning nowadays. There are too many things to say about Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, but Re-Reckoning is a new way to play a classic leading role-playing game back in 2012. There are lots of opportunities in the game which you can delve into. Hundreds of hours of stories, quests, dungeons and much more.

If you are familiar with classic Reckoning, and if you played it like you are living in Amalur, you should play Re-Reckoning, too. I read a lot of comments about the game, which they are saying they didn't even improve the graphics. Then I tried it, found out that these comments are not real. There is an improvement in the graphics. Really.

And, come on, R.A. Salvatore, Ken Rolston, Grant Kirkhope, Todd McFarlane... These persons should remind you something; you played games, listen to tracks, read comics and stories which they created before! And the dev team are doing a really good job with Re-Reckoning.

Combat, Fateshifting and Reckoning Mode still works amazingly nowadays, and Re-Reckoning shows this approach of role-playing games doesn't die. It also has really different character development phases which you may not experience before if you haven't played it yet. There are Destinies, you can choose Might, Finesse or Sorcery. However, you can go hybrid, too, and all of these Destinies you choose, while you are developing your character, will provide you with bonuses. And more, and more...

Go, and give it a shot. Trust me, this will be the best money spent.

Cheers!

It looks like some additional Sony PS exclusives will be coming to PC. That's one way to sway me away from buying PS5.
