Well, turn some settings down. You don't need Ultra to enjoy the game. Tweak it and have fun!
That's the thing... turning settings down only improves the average framerate, but doesn't do away with the stuttering.

I don't like the new Witcher 3 update personally, I think it looks worse than original
I think it looks okay. I don't see much difference, to be honest, except for those awful stutters.

If you turn on FXAA, though... yuck!:fear:

I finished Yakuza Like a Dragon today.
All chapters.

Haven't heard of this game before. It looks worth checking out. :p

I know right, I've been wondering the same since I'm following/posting in this topic.
Some ppl around here finishes multiple games by the time I only manage to finish like 1 maybe 2 shorter story driven games.
For example Plague Tale Requiem took me around 25 hours to finish and that was in a span of ~2 weeks.:oops: 'I loved the game so its not cause I didn't like it'

Dunno I guess I'm not the gamer I used to be huh, playing for more than 2-3 hours/day is very rare nowadays I just don't feel it and some days I don't even game just do random shet at my PC/watch YT or a movie.
It seems to be a common theme nowadays. My friends and I complain about the same. I guess there's just too much content everywhere and our brains aren't wired to deal with it. Kind of like when you eat too much and feel sick.

I guess thats a reason as any, enjoy it.:)
In my case the better hardware I get the less I play or its the same, only difference is that I crank up the settings higher.:laugh: 'done most of my long gaming sessions in the past on potato systems when I actually gamed all day'
Yeah, when I went from 980 Ti to 1080 Ti, I just cranked the settings higher and that's it. Now with a faster card and a 4K monitor, it feels like going from a console generation to a newer one.

Yet I still play with my HTPC (Xeon X5675 @ 4.3, 18GB, R9 290X) from time to time, especially older titles. :)

When I finished building my current rig, I went on to play Stray on my HTPC. :laugh:

The performance of my main PC gives me comfort that it'll serve me well for years to come, but there's something magical about a potato running a modern game, and running it well. :rolleyes:

One Step Beyond is a 1993 puzzle platformer for DOS starring Colin Curly, a former mascot of the British snack Quavers. It is the sequel to Pushover, the game featured in the opening cinematics. I remember drooling over this intro as a kid :p

osb1.jpgosb2.jpgosb3.jpg

It's a truly original game based on a simple premise. You have to shut all the platforms by jumping on them and then land on the exit pad, leading you to the next level. You are limited in how far you can jump, and each level is on a different timer. It starts simple but the difficulty ramps up significantly as you play. I have just finished this gem, solving all 100 puzzles. Great mental gymnastics :D

Even in the days of ray tracing and all that, I still find something strangely comforting about DOS game graphics.

Jokes aside, some PS2 games are much enjoyable at higher res, especially those with good texturing or a lot of edges. Would require feeding those legally-owned disks™ to an emulator, of course.

FFX-2 (I know. I'm sorry...) at native vs 1080p.

Even a simple HDMI connection on the PS2 would make me happy. Just something digital to let the TV scale properly.

Get better soon!

Just finished Ys 2 Chronicles for PC(bought on GOG of course) last night. I've only ever finished this game once before, on the TurboDuo version nearly 30 years ago. I don't actually remember doing it, but remember the ending. This ending was better. Not going to show screenshots(spoilers).

I've already finished Ys Origin and will be working through Ys 3 - Oath In Felgana next. Ys 4 - Memories of Celceta will be up after that.

For those interested;

All are on sale right now for those interested in ActionRPG style gaming.


EDIT:
Ok, just had a funny moment;

ys is awesome series, but there was a lot of crap in the middle

ys origins, seven and eight have all been fantastic play-through fro me, and ys 1-3 are all still memorable!

It turns out there's a software glitch affecting frame-rates going on with the new update. Patch incoming.
Good news, I can't wait! :)

I tried Chivalry, I tried Mordhau, heck, I even played War of the Roses for a while before it went down - my conclusion was always the same: The learning curve is too steep, I die every time even before I manage to figure out the basics. :( They look like lovely games, and I love the Middle Ages, but the controls are just too much for me.

With that said, once I finish God of War, I'll try to see if I can get somewhere in Kingdom Come: Deliverance without dying in the first 5 minutes of the game. Last time I couldn't, but I've gone through a few PC upgrades since then, so maybe that helps a bit.

Same here. I've watched some f-ed up shite in my life, but this is the first series that I canned after watching the first episode.

yeah, and I don't know if it was just me or not, but I thought the Elves seemed too human life, where as in original trilogy, I had a different vibe and was convinced it was a different species.

that really ruined the immersion for me. and when I saw the armor those Elvish guards were wearing... just horrible. not even close to original trilogy. and people who say budget this or budget that can bloody well piss off, maybe they need to stop taking inflated salaries and do a proper job.

that's one to many off topic posts though, going to stop before mods lose their minds

on-topic: playing magic the gathering arena still... LMAO its true too

Nah, I completely agree.

Everything is designed to be the same generic crap, every dialogue sounds the same, they sound like normal, 21st century conversation mixed into some awkward shite that doesn't make sense. Facial expressions are nonexistent, there are no characters, racial traits, or any kind of distinguishable features that would make anyone stand out. Generic, bland diversity-box ticking exercise, totally worthless of anyone's time.

A billion dollar show that looks and feels more like a hundred dollar fan fiction.

Sorry for the off.
