What are you playing?

Started Judgment (played it on ps4 originally) with the intent to move on to Lost Judgment once finished.

As a quick reminder, these are serious games about serious.. things!

Wandering around a Brazilian favela (shantytown) in a shirt like that is asking for trouble.

Lost three damned perfect pelts in RDR2 today. Fucked up a duel and got the town on me. Ran off and found the guys defending the house from extortionists. Accidentally got the family on me. Died in the chaos. Everybody there wanted me dead.

And that's when I realized I hadn't manual saved in 2 hours. Bye bye pelts!

I gotta say, that's annoying. I'm all for realism and consequences but that's a lot to lose for someone who works for a living. I really do find that pretty lame. Not that if I went and hunted I could just replenish those. I fucking shot a hog running in the same direction as me while on horseback with a regular bow and pulled the perfect pelt. Then a deer. Then a second one that barely didn't make it out. To lose the fruits of that to the dumbest crap... ugh man. And it's not like the punishment teaches me to play differently. I'm not gonna spend more time going out of my way to ditch the pelts as quickly as possible. I'm just going to save more often so that I can load back. If the solution to a mechanic is "save more" maybe the mechanic isn't so hot :laugh:

That's maybe my one biggest gripe with this game overall. Some of these punishments assume you have no life keeping you from making up the time you lose to them. It piles up and then before you know it a month goes by and I don't play. Like man... the amount of progress I have lost because I loosened my grip on the controller during dialog and accidentally drew my weapon. It goes back to the control schemes I guess. I need to see if there's a mod that lets me change them. Every time I play a R* game I feel like I need a cheat sheet.

Stuff like that is sure annoying yes, I'm also all for frequent auto saves if possible cause shet happens.

My worst case of such happened back in the days of Borderlands 1 when I was crazy into the game and spent a lot of hours farming an end game boss for max 'god' rolled gear for my preferences and that stuff wasn't easy to come by.
This was before cloud saving was a thing, and just happened that my savefile got corrupted for whatever reason and my last manual backup was ~1 week old so I lost 1 week worth of farming and a couple of good/rare gear.
I was seriously considering on quiting the game but I got back to it anyway but that wasn't a fun experience.:shadedshu:

Ever since that I do manual backups every now and then even if there is cloud saving nowadays 'BL 3 has it too'.

O ye and a good few years ago we had some local issues with the power grid and had 3-4 blackouts/day and at the time I was actively playing an MMO.
Fun times trying to do raids when I never knew when I'm gonna get kicked out of a run cause of a blackout and waste all my time trying to play, that situation lasted for more than a month before they found out whats the issue and fixed it. 'that and lots of complaints from the whole town'

one does not simply wonder in plains w/o emergency extraction plan :D
80 bronze nails, 30 fine wood, 10 deer hide and 20 resin stashed in coffer in safe place are must.
high tier cooked food in chest ready for use is good idea
some stam and heal potions would be ideal case.
then you look at the stars. align the winds and press "shift"

btw karve with full sail on the wind is faster than deathskito. dont ask how i know :rolleyes:

Yeah...I'm definitely burning away a few hundred D2 hours before I'm going on my third trip. That, or some teleport mod that actually works (yes, I looked for them :D) so I can pick up my corpse. Its not even un-fun to do the early grind again, the gameplay is just alright, but myea, I'll definitely be taking those precautions first now, thanks :p

Btw, you look at the stars? For good fortune surely... or is there some hidden waypoint up there :D

@robot zombie Valheim actually sounds like the perfect game for you. What do you mean no saves and three pelts. :p
 
I play Resident Evil 8 on steam , its really fun

So this was just announced:

People are starving at the camp and you're effing around dueling some lowlifes in the city?!

@lynx29 autosaves are built in, it's just that they are timed with story progress. You can save manually so if you end up like RZ it's your own fault.
Click to expand...
I couldn't resist at that point. It was a long chain of encounters and stop offs before starting another mission. The last autosave was after finishing one, IIRC. But yeah, I fully own that one. That was pretty dumb. By then it was just one thing after another with that playthrough lol. I just couldn't jump into it like that, had me feeling like I was being dropped into everything.

Now that I started Chapter 2 over I'm coming out on top. The DLC gives you dumb weapons for free like the Volcanic Pistol and the pump-action. You can just grab them for 0$ in Valentine. Keep stocked on slugs and express rounds. A guy I helped showed up outside of the store and gave me anything in the gun shop on his tab, so I got a Springfield to round things out. Also mixed in are the DB and Varmint Rifle (another freebie.) Of course camp is close to maxed out. I just got the Legendary Buck trinket made. Pretty much done with the story stuff for this chapter. Took a lil extra time to grab some other upgrades along the way.
 
I'm running a STALKER mod that allows Artifact Transmutation...crazy.
 
Finished HZD last night, well the main game I still have Frozen Wilds to play but that shouldn't take too much time.

Took me around 40+ hours to finish the main game with most things done, other than the hunters lodge missions but I did every other side mission I could find and also got the Shield Weaver armor before the last story mission.
Also collected some of the collectibles along the way, might go back for more before leaving the game completely tho I rarely finish those in games like this.

Have to say this was a pretty game, I waited ~1 year to be able to play it since my previous GPU wasn't up to the task but it was well worth the wait.
Not saying that I had zero problems with the game but it was insignificant and I had more fun in overall.

Now I'm a bit sad that I won't be able to play Forbidden West when its relased but maybe by the time it comes to PC I will have the hardware to run it this time.:laugh: 'Tho my 1070 did fairly well in the first game'
Some random pics I took:

Here's a handy fix for running Tomb Raider 2 in native resolution. I used it because I couldn't get it running in 1440p but only 1080p but with the health bar missing.
github.com

GitHub - Carlmundo/TombRaider2-AutomatedFix: Automated installer to upgrade your Steam or GOG copy of Tomb Raider II to the definite modern version of the game.

I also had to find Tomb ATI again as I must have accidentally deleted it when moving some games around.
You can find it here
But clicking on the files for download doesn't work, so I copied the download link addresses and opened them in new tabs. That worked fine and the files downloaded okay.
Sorts out the resolution and aspect ratio perfectly!

I'm running both TR 1&2 on Windows 10/RX580. TR1 with Tomb ATI/DOSBox and TR2 patched to run on modern systems.

I'm playing Control with all effects turned up to max with DLSS etc. I played it earlier this year without it and the difference is superb !
 
Only D2 Resurrected in the last couple of days.
Started with a HC Amazon, but don't wanna rush that one, so I alternate between it and SC with a Bone Necro, and a Lightning Sorc.
I'll try to see how far I can push the Sorc without a respec to blizzard, I genuinely hate that build.
Gonna make a Paladin at a certain point and go for the biggest idiot proof build in the game. Just dont know atm if I want a SC or a HC pally. Depends on the items a find on HC with Javazon
 
Final Fantasy IV (the new Pixel Remaster version). This game just don't get old, love this every playtime. <3

I'm a bit surprised at myself that I still somewhat remember those letters after I started reading them now. 'good sign that I did not kill that much brain cells in the past 1 year with drinking'
Played and finished the game like 1 year ago.

For me it was the other way around, when I played Witcher 1 I was like hey thats Shani from Witcher 3. :laugh:
My order of playing was a mess since I played Witcher 3 GOTY then Witcher 1 and then Witcher 2 as last but hey it all came together after all.

I did go for Yenn in my playthrough even tho I kinda like Triss more after playing the whole serie so who knows maybe if I ever do a second playthrough I will do something about that.:)

People should start from the origin. I'm not gonna bore people with Geralt is so much more than what's depicted in Witcher 3 cause let's face it I myself never read the novels and plan to never will. But people are missing out if they only played Witcher 3. And with Enhanced Edition and mods, Witcher 1 holds up quite well at least mechanically. And Witcher 2's a seventh-gen console title. So there's no excuse for skipping Witcher 1 and 2.

Yeah I bet most people chose Yenn since they only played Witcher 3 and she debuted before Triss in that game.

I was pretty late to the whole serie tbh and mainly picked up Witcher 3 cause a friend of mine kept telling me to play it since he was a fan. 'he read the novels/books too'
Ended up playing Witcher 3 Goty for like 170+ hours during my first playthrough so I guess he was right to bother me with it.:oops:

I kinda wanted to know more about the lore and the serie in general so I picked up both 1 and 2 when it was on a sale on GoG.
Have to say Witcher 1 was difficult to get used to, I mean the playstyle felt really old/dated and I only used Rise of the white wolf mod.
Other than that I'm glad that I played the game, after it picked up slowly and I got used to it I actually had fun with that game.

Witcher 2 didn't feel that old to me and did not have any real issue with it, also only used a ENB mod to improve graphics a bit but no mechanical changes or anything.

Yup pretty much how I ended up with Yenn in 3 cause it felt 'normal' to me w/o playing the previous games.
