What are you playing?

I finished FC1 ages ago, it's bloody hard near the end, the little trigens are a twat, never mind the rest. I did indeed finish FC 2, which is about 40 hours, as well, and FC3, 72 hours, not quite done with FC 4 yet, but have finished FC 5 too. I have them all on my steam list.

I'm never sure why we need to be informed of this since I don't care either way:

Maybe at some point they will start adding "This game was designed and developed without any mandatory crunch and unpaid overtime".

Played Squad this weekend. It wasn't as frustrating as last time, actually managed to hop into servers with good teamwork between players. Had one round where together with a teammate we defended a single point for 20 minutes or so. At the end of the round my squad had 5k points , 2.5k was from me defending the point as medic. And that's with squad leader being afk for the last 40 minutes of the round. We won with 30 tickets (lives) of difference between the teams. Combat is still "where, wtf?!" 70% of the time I got shot. It's like you turn a corner and dude has his sights on you the same second you show on screen, and he's 200m away just finished firing at the guy across the road.
I was browsing mods for it yesterday but the one that looks interesting goes all in on "operator" bs, with every class basically being an SF class. The cool thing is that it actually seems to have a day and night cycle but they should really try to limit the number of active SF roles so that not everyone is spec'd out operator running around the map with suppressor. It also has attack heli's that are flown by players and larger transport choppers.

I also checked the progress on Ground Branch, which is the actual spiritual successor to original Rainbow Six series (unlike Siege). It looks good but it's still in pre-alpha stage with a fairly low player base.

I bought squad, played it a few times, but a bit too elitist for me, shame as i really like the look and feel of it.

Nah, the FBI will take care of them. For .nds files I have to use forwarding services, because the FBI doesn't read .nds files natively. The CIA has to process them so that the FBI can file the tickets.

In case that all went over your head, here's an explanation:
.cia = an installable 3DS title
FBI = a file explorer/manager + title installer for the 3DS
.nds = a DS ROM
tickets = what shows up on your 3DS' home screen so you can launch things

Back in those days even the FSB was relevant, even if the KGB preceded it. Wait now it gets confusing.

Playing Prey (2017). Again. I say again cause I originally started it on late 2020. But this and that happened I pooped my pants and uninstalled it somewhere in the beginning first chapter somewhere. After finishing Half Life thukku I mean Black Mesa I finally grew some balls also wore some diapers to tackle the game. Constantly on my mind for few weeks now.

I wanted to show some good screenshots but I only took pictures of mundane it looks like. Emails and notes of minor importance. But I do have some gems.

Recycle bomb a grate to get access the space underneath or spend skills to life heavy item? Recycle bomb it is. On that note, let's not waste the bomb to ONLY recycle the metal grate.

I love the freedom immersive games like this give you. Get access to 2nd floor from the next room stairs or waste 10 minutes trying to climb up from this room. Ignore that the G.L.O.O shots look like family jewels.

Apparently this guy really liked his bananas. As a fellow banana connoisseur, I approve.

Welp! Looks like this Will Mitchell (and his tracking bracelet) got mixed up in some strange place.

Some Red Faction: Guerilla. GeoMod is super addicting. With those physic sand destruction, it's fun to play and piss off EDFs. Too bad that's another title from last millennia with very high system requirements (that is for 2009, back then there wasn't a CPU which could deliver 60 fps in it due to very advanced physics engine). Athlon 760K doesn't handle it too well. FPS is unstable and can go from 90 to 40 and sometimes even below 30. At least it has a legitimate reason to be so demanding (unlike many games today). I really don't mind performance issues, it's still really fun.

remaster? or the orignal

Original

Out of curisoity why not the remaster
Its free with the orignal and has very little performance hit

 

[Audioave10]

I'm playing Borderlands GOTY & Borderlands GOTY Enhanced as a comparison back to back.

I had it on my computer and I don't think that Athlon 760K and GTX 650 Ti could run it well.

It's the CPU that suffers during destruction.

an hd 5000 attached to a ultra low volatge i5 4th gen 2c 4t is probs slower then that desktop cpu

They might be about equal. This Athlon 760K is FM2 chip and doesn't have L3 cache. It's Piledriver architecture based, so it's basically FX 4300 without L3 cache. It is a FX chip at heart, so it has 4 ALUs and 2 FPUs, sometimes making it perform closer to dual core, than true quad core. In benchmarks it performs similar to Core 2 Quad. Haswell had an overwhelming IPC advantage over FX and FX derivatives, I'm pretty sure that even 2GHz Haswell would be as fast as 4GHz Piledriver. Oh and I use it with single channel memory, so that gimps Athlon further.

Agent 47 has made his way to Mendoza, Argentina, but I wouldn't say he was a ladies' man.

 

[AleXXX666]

tired of gta, replaying hitman 3 again...

 

[Splinterdog]

Anyone noticed that there's no water in the lake in Mendoza, Argentina? I know global warming is a problem, but really? The fish are swimming in thin air
Anyway, I've put in a bug report.

Its re playing/visit time again, this time Hellblade my personal game of the year when it was relased in 2017.


My system at the time kinda struggled with it but I still finished it anyway since I really liked it.
Gotta say it still looks pretty good and its good to see a default 21:9 support as always.

I'm usually not a big fan of puzzle games but this has the right balance imo and the combat is oddly satisfying for me + I love mythology based games.

I hope the second game will be at least as good as the first.

Been playing some Left 4 Dead 2 in anticipation of the Back 4 Blood Beta on Thursday. I missed the early access, didn't even know I had it since I played the Alpha.

A Plague Tale Innocence is a beautiful game in 4K. Playing it for the first time because it was free on Epic.

 

[rtwjunkie]

Spent a few hours doing the River Raids add-on in AC: Valhalla and now am playing its DLC Wrath of the Druids. More Monastery raiding!

 

[Cheese_On_tsaot]

I attempted before the allotted time...
