What are you playing?

[metaldc4life]

lol yeah
Is Destiny or destiny 2 worth picking up??

 

[Ruru]

Skyrim..Heard it was a sub par game that won an award or two with potato graphics

Graphics aren't everything. I still play NES from time to time.

Just like any other Bethesda game, they doesn't look that great (like Fallout3, but with few mods, it gets a shinier surface).

Destiny 2 is free on Epic until next thursday. You can't lose anything.

Destiny 2 is free to play, so you can always try it. Big download though, 100GB+.

 

[metaldc4life]

oh yeah I agree i love using playing older games too

I miss as a teen 2x 40GB HDD was fine. Now 4 terabytes isn't crap when I have many games installed. (though I have about 1.5TB of that for media and other stuff)

I know right?
I remember when my bro had an 80gb hdd and we had EVERYTHING in it! xD
Really eats up all your storage just to play a game these days....

Depends of the game I'll probably play few missions of GTA IV before I'll fire up CP2077. Normally I'd play a game like GTA with keyboard and mouse, but it plays surprisingly fine with a controller, that's why I play it on my 2nd PC and from TV. Also they've fixed the PC version so now it actually runs pretty smoothly (most of the time a solid 60fps, sometimes it drops to 40-ish but that's still fine).

I remember when I didn't have an internet connection and yet didn't have my first (128MB Creative) mp3-player, I remember well when I got NES/SNES games with floppies which I downloaded elsewhere. Got the emulators as my friends burned those on a cd.

Miss those days.

I remember the days of old when my Dad used to cuss up a storm when 56k internet dropped ROFL (sorry dad!)

I think it's a DLC that's free.

It's really interesting that one of the loading screen tips is a link to Bungies mental health support.

Never had a dial-up connection, got straight a 512/128kbit cable back in the day.

I doubt as doesn't Epic give always the basic game + maybe some DLC on giveaways? Haven't installed though as well, as we've speaking about storage space, I'd need to delete something first

I remember the day when we upgraded our commadore PC at the gateway pc store when my Dad received money from a settlement..
My Mom and Dad gave us 200 Games that he bought for us.. 200!
and nearly ALL fit on the hard drive.. lol :'')

Bittersweet..

Damn...those days are gone... :'''(

how nice of epic to steal our ssd/ hdd space!

Agree on that part which I've bolded. I remember back in the day when having a game running even with 1024x768 low at 30+ fps was fine. These days I must have 1080p60 (on my main PC) with max settings if possible. I have 1080 Ti so there isn't RTX, but otherwise I prefer running everything maxed out. Though in modern games, the difference between high and highest settings are usually minimum, but it can improve the fps hugely if I step down a little. Though CP2077 seems to be the only game so far my card can't run at 1080p maximum with solid 60fps.

On my 2nd PC I can make compromises, as it's basically a "console" for me. R9 290X is still a surprisingly fine card, especially with modified drivers.

We've come a long, long way since I started gaming on an Atari 2600 console back in 1980 and the only thing that has remained constant over the years is that games have always required faster hardware, more memory and more storage space as the years go by. We already have games that require over 200 GB storage space.

I have a hybrid 80/20 sim racing rig that also serves as a flight simulator rig. So I mainly play flight sims (FS2020, P3D, XP11). Then for sim racing I play iRacing for online, and F122 for off line racing.

I started with NES myself in the early 90s (I'm born in 1990), I still have the same NES and I play it from time to time.

I was shocked when I found out that Atari 2600 had only 128B of RAM, I can fill that with handwriting in 5-10 seconds.

I'd say that IV was badly optimized for the hardware of its time, ran like crap on PS3/X360 and especially with PC for a long time. Now it runs butterly smooth.

And I mean mostly by playabiliti and story. V was just too casual, but I have to admit that it's optimized pretty damn good.


Never played the "GTA V Wild West DLC", haven't even played the first one even though I have it for PS3.


But I'll finally start Cyberpunk as I guess that most of the bugs have been squashed in 20 months. I have to admit, that it's the only game where a ray-tracing capable card would be cool.

I've played all the Rockstar GTA and Red Dead games including the 2D era. RDR2 isn't remotely at all a GTA V Wild West DLC unless you only consider the rather terrible Red Dead Online and compare that to the slightly better but still terrible GTA (V) Online. The reason I dislike the online modes is they are very shallow and consist of a means to sell interchangeable content (outfits and cars, grind game modes).

RDR2 single player mode, with its storyline focus, actually plays a lot more like a western themed RPG. It is good for all the same reasons as GTA IV, it has a pretty solid storyline, memorable characters, and very well designed environments. GTA V is weak on characters and plot and exists as a decent sandbox but not much more. I think Red Dead Redemption and Red Dead Redemption 2 are some of the finest games that Rockstar has ever made. I would place GTA IV and San Andreas in that pantheon as well.

And you're missing out on DLSS which works wonders in Cyberpunk.

Changing games, Have you played Twin Mirror Lenne? Don't Nod are the publisher and I'm a massive fan of LiS, like yourself. Just about to start a playthrough tonight.

Dontnod as a publisher, what studio it's from? Anything Dontnod related is usually hella fine. For example, I love Remember me, Dontnod's first major game. Here's a clip by me beating one of its bosses (that music is DOPE). Played it on my friend and had to record it as he slept and snored like mofo On the hardest ofc.

Which platform it is on? I'm broke atm but I'll get some money next month.

RDR2 is a pain to play though, IMO. The interface and controls are actively fighting against you. I really want to go on as it's really compelling but I dread launching it.
