What are you playing?

[TheoneandonlyMrK]

I completed Horizon zero dawn, not fully, I might revisit.
On ace combat 7 trying to earn a f22, I wouldn't buy dlc so grinding.
And grid 2019 since I realized I had seasons not season.

I have that "what to play" dilemma once again, I simply have too many games and I can't decide what to play. I'll wait until PUBG downloads as I haven't played it for like 2 years, then I'll think something story-based.

I run into that all of the time. I have a few I need to finish, but have lost some enthusiasm. I probably need to just pick one and dive in. I always fall back to one of those games (like driving games) that are never really done when I get like this.

I tried surround with GTX 980 @ 5760x1080, looked hella cool but the card wasn't fast enough. Still that immersion was awesome.

I think you nailed it. After playing mutiple driving games most of the afternoon yesterday, I was exhausted. Kind of the way I feel if I rider a roller coaster. I think it's too real to be honest. I've never tried a VR headset, but after this I have a feeling it's probably not for me. I think I'll stick with a single monitor. Time for some more Forza Horizon 5 as the 10th Anniversary patch is out .

Despite the backlash I am enjoying GTA Remasters, added a reshade to make the game look much better though.

Some video footage from my Channel (Dailymotion, i don't use Youtube, less copyright issues on Dailymotion) , this game runs so much better using this mod or maybe its just the drivers I'm using who knows, or both. (Enterprise 21.Q4, best drivers for my Radeon Pro W6600).

Reshade Enhanced 2560x1440p max settings force 4xEQ.

Really? Less copyright issues still, like what was the case in the early-2010s to maybe the mid-2010s? Recently, I expected Dailymotion to be more restrictive than YouTube, in the copyright-department!

The video quality is good, too! I knew that YouTube's had issues with video quality in the past, which is pixelization, mostly.

I agree that fear needs a remake or remaster, Fear 2 is my favorite. I have part 3 but never played it yet.

Can you make a video on how to add the mods/reshades you are using? or just tell me how to add those things. impressive honestly, was not expecting such an old game to look that good

:Reshade Enhanced: but how do i do it? FFXIV game also uses a reshade, but i could never figure out how to make it work so i gave up

This mod is for GTA Remaster Trilogy, just came out last year remember
Its here https://www.nexusmods.com/grandtheftautothetrilogy/mods/441
Just extract the files and copy and paste everything into the Binaries/Win64 folder
and run the game The mod works for all 3 remaster games.

I was going to make a post Youtube vs dailymotion, but i see your pm.

PUBG

I hope you are a very patient or very skilled gamer. I fin that playing that is like removing the carbon monoxide alarm - randomly dying from things you cannot see or hear. I do play the mobile version in an emulator though, and it is a blast. I guess the reduced graphics are easier for me...

That reminds me of the Halo Custom Edition custom map, Extinction. In the human base, in the ammo room. (the blue base, IIRC)

uuup, lookin forward to that one for sure. Very excited for Rat-nado II. The first one was really engrossing... and occasionally just gross. It blew my mind that this studio that mostly only made merch-style spinoffs had Plague Tale in the oven the whole damned time. I love that this is like, their baby now.

I finally got moving and setup FNV with all of the fixes and QOL stuff. I wanna play it mostly vanilla though.

The only thing I can honestly say right now, is that I forgot how much better FNV looks out of the box compared to FO4. The graphics are more dated, but it's way more visually coherent and just... sensible, distinctly less cartoonish. I have an easier time believing this is how the game is supposed to look, whereas FO4 kinda makes me go "is this really what they wanted?"

And it's nice that the GOG version comes pre-patched.

Yeah the first game was my surprise game of the year at the time, barely heard about it before the launch day.
FNV is also on my list of games to play, watched some mod showcase vids and with those it doesn't even look that bad and I only heard good things about the game in general. 'I have a friend who told me that its better than FO 3/4 and that I should play it'

I have that "what to play" dilemma once again, I simply have too many games and I can't decide what to play. I'll wait until PUBG downloads as I haven't played it for like 2 years, then I'll think something story-based.

FEAR needs absolutely a properly made remaster or even a remake. Expansions were also good and I enjoyed FEAR2 as well. F3AR was just meh and I haven't finished that even once.

Sometimes I also have that dilemma, that and I don't really like to play more than 1-2 games cause if I do I never finish them so I rather play 1/finish it and then off to the next.
Its even worse now since I bought a new GPU, cause now I feel like playing newer games that gave my old card trouble + if I keep playing older games only then what was the point of the upgrade anyway. 'I will pick up Cyberpunk whenever its on a sale next time..'

Proper FEAR remake would be dope for sure and ye 3 was kinda meh. 'it was designed to be played co-op or what, not a fan of those games in general and I played it solo'

4 more days until we all start farming for gear in Gotham, by ignoring the generic cutscenes, fixed console camera, and repetitive city/ between the building environment that only happens at night cuz it's immersive for 69,99 euros + vat standard edition

It's bitrate, not pixelation probably. Basically a lossy compression artifact, called macroblock. If bitrate of video is too low and video is with motion, you will see them. You can "solve" this by selecting higher resolution within player, which raises bitrate. Usually one step above your monitor is enough to mostly solve it, but if video has lots of action, then two are needed.

Hang on Biotech isn't set in Gotham, or cost that much!

Anyway, I've wanted to play some Fallout 4 again. Last time I had actually found a mod setup that I sort of liked but thanks to endless Windows installs and storage reshuffles that setup is long gone and I really frikken hate reading about Fallout 4 mods. The vast majority of them suck and reading about them suck the life out of me and honestly I don't even know where to start. I want it to be slightly more difficult without being that really stupid "survival" mode, and there was some weather stuff and some small stuff I can't quite remember, but I really dread the idea of wading into the cesspit that is Bethesda modding again.

Die already!

I think I am cheating the system a bit - and it broke.

Ok, for the explanation. I found a spot to shoot from without being hit, but apparently it is invulnerable. It is supposed to fall off of a cliff chasing you but it couldn't do so in this spot.

It's only virtual. Let it swipe you a few times. You'll live.

Yep. After running out of ammunition on all 3 weapons I tried that ...

 

[Sithaer]

Aight I've started to play Plague Tale Requiem, did not play it much yet since it launched late night so I had no time but damn I have to say this game looks good.
No RT yet cause even tho the game had a RT trailer weeks ago it did not relase with RT and it will be 'patched' in at a later point..
Thumbs:




Thats with 2560x1080 Ultra settings + DLSS Quality.
Sometimes it drops down to 50+ fps, its GPU demanding as heck but in a game like this I don't mind really so I rather keep the eye candy. 'not sure if my card could handle RT on top but I will check once its added'

@Sithaer Loved the first game and it was going to be a day-one purchase for me but I prioritized Uncharted (released tomorrow). I just had too much fun with Uncharted on my old PS4 Pro to pass it up and I'm really looking forward to going on that ride again with a higher framerate and resolution. Once I've 100% Uncharted 4 and Lost Legacy this sequel is definitely next on my list. Looks beautiful and I'll be running it the same, maxed, but at 4k. It's too pretty not to I don't care about fps so much on these types of games, as long as i don't go below 40 and it's relatively smooth frame pacing.

 

[Vayra86]

There is a such a thing as 'too wide' I don't think I can handle this. 7680x1440

Feelin' a little queasy.

Fishbowl overdose effect, I call it. I also have it when I play with too high FOV on smaller diagonals Its like peripheral vision attracts too much attention.

So basically, that's pretty much RT reflection quality you got going on there. I mean. Look at it.

the most beautiful game played this year. and considering both the water and vegetation are beyond AC Valhalla it's probably the most amazing graphics of all time.

The vegetation it's what's mesmerizing. It looks very thick. Not because there a lot of grass straws but because each individual straw has multiple polygons. The plants are thick. Only seen this in mods in Skyrim.
@Sithaer no FSR this option wasn't available. all native holding an average of 30 fps. But the game is slow and somehow, not lagging at all, which is great.

it bothers me when games use little cpu. If I would have seen 70% utilization at least it was worth it. But not putting my ryzen to work, but still having poor performance it feels bad

You will see higher CPU usage once you reach the market/city and also drop in GPU % usage so there is some performance/optimization issue there tho it still holds around 60 fps.


But yes the game looks amazing while actually playing the game, jpg screens doesn't do justice really.
I could play with native res and lose around 10-15 fps vs DLSS Quality but to be honest I prefer it with DLSS. Can't notice anything worse and the small details are better like the wires and whatnot in the background.

Edit: Apparently rats will also increase the CPU usage by a lot, well kinda makes sense.

It's tries hard to compete with Ark on worst storage requirements, but it's not quite there yet meanwhile Valheim is like we've managed to run on 640KB it's all we need!

Well I'm only at the start of Chapter 2 'rats just showed up' but so far it plays about the same as the first game.
I won't rush the game, probably I will spend rest of the week playing it at my usual pace and then see how it was. 'I really liked the first game so if its anything close to that I will be satisfied'
