I usually go for the ultra settings but some of this "ultra" crap is just ridiculous

this is quantum break with volumetric lighting at ultra, screen space reflections and global illumination at high (which is max)



now this is the same shot with volumetric lighing at high, screen space reflections and global illumination at medium

The lighting in both looks great. I had no idea the game looked that good.

The game is top notch in graphics! I’m surprised it wasn’t the huge hit it deserved to be. It had a cool story, great gameplay and time manipulation, decent shooting and excellent face and motion capture.

The additional side/back stories done in real film were also a very nice addition.

I'll keep it in mind. Still kind of expensive on Steam and MS Store.

The cheapest way to buy it is the boxed Collector’s Edition for $31.95. Still two left on Amazon.

That's a little too much for me (I don't collect many things).. but strange that a CE is cheaper. lol

I'll just wait until it gets a little cheaper on MS Store. Just because of the free Xbox version.

Well living up to my account's avatar I guess as I recently got back into Elite Dangerous. I haven't really played it seriously for quite some time...I've been buried in RTS's, 4X's and a little bit of FPS (Doom 2016, Titanfall 2 and Angels Fall First (if you want your BF2142 fix, look at this!!!)).

I tried my hand at combat in my Vulture...and holy cow did I suck! Died almost right away. Totally a noob again at this. So I decided to check out missions, but the area I was in had all sorts of missions I wasn't spec'd for or wanted to do necessarily. I found that I could back track to my old stomping grounds around Don or head to Sol. Both were 8xxLy away. So I hopped in my long distance spec'd Cobra MkIII and hit the road for Sol having never been there. Stopping at systems to refuel and explore a little, find some cool sights, etc. Was actually a fun and faster than expected trip across that little section of galaxy.

Now I'm holed up at the Abraham Lincoln for a few of my ships, including my T6 which hasn't been taken out for a spin since 2016 or 2015! Found a system nearby that has a bunch of delivery missions between stations in that system with earnings in between 100K-700K per mission. I'm not tryin to max, not doing any kind of stacking or logging or whatever it is called. I am just playing and having a good time with it and getting a feel for everything again.

I should also add I've yet to battle against or even see a Thargoid yet...so that's on the bucket list. It does seem the content and patching released this year has made some good changes overall compared to the Elite Dangerous I remember playing from Alpha to 1-2 years after release. Hyperspace jumps have never been hitchy or glitched or lagged...not once yet. That's amazing. Everything looks pretty good overall...though I feel that the graphics could still be better with higher resolution textures for some things. I guess the next patch is coming should resolve some of that.

I will eventually own every ship, I regret selling my original Sidewinder and Freagle as I was moving up through the ranks early on in my "official" start. Either rate, just having some fun and will check out some of the other content I've yet to touch, mostly being engineers, AX weapons, Thargoid stuffs, and maybe even get back into PowerPlay stuff. Though admittedly the PP stuff never really caught on for me because I don't consistently play games or have time to do so. And as always, you don't go and play Elite for less than an hour...at least I don't lol! And getting back into it, I figure I need 2 hours to get anything done!

I have also been playing Void Destroyer 2 for those times when I want a little more empire management in my space sim, without the need to try to relearn things to play X3. Trying not to get too hyped for X4 since I've never really gotten into the X-series too much. VD2 though is about the most solid EA indie game I've played or supported. It's a lotta fun and has solid combat, missions, and mechanics. For a single dev, I am uber impressed. I look forward to future patching, polish and content. It is nice to hop into this game for an hour, because so much can be accomplished. The graphics are a love it/hate it affair for sure, especially coming from something beautiful like Elite Dangerous. But even with that, the art design, personality of the game with its graphics, etc. make it all work and come together. If you wanted Mount & Blade in your space sim, Void Destroyer 2 is solid. I was never a big M&B fan, but the idea of it in a space sim worked really well in this case. :D

The more I play Assassin's Creed Odyssey, the more I am impressed. When The Witcher 3 came out in 2015, many felt it was revolutionary and the new standard for open world RPG's. It appears Ubisoft took notice. They got 75% of the way there with Origins. Now, with Odyssey, there is a game on that same scale, that same depth, that same storytelling, and same encouragement of exploration that The Witcher 3 had.

It looks fantastic, and yet runs extremely well. I have encountered 1 bug, yes only one, on a random run on horseback through thick forest in the hills,, and suddenly coming upon a piece of iron to mine in a clearing....6 feet up in the air. Otherwise this has been free of blemishes, stutters or any issues as far as I can say to have seen.

Content is through the roof. Side missions are actually quite good. Some are short, some are extensive, but all were well-thought out and implemented so that they feel like part of the world, not as added ho-hum side quests. Because of my desire to explore and do everything, I am 39 hours into the game, and only 24% through the main story. The world is MASSIVE, and it feels alive. I've been to historical sites, met historical personages, and am doing my part in the Peloponnesian War.

It is so easy to just feel you are in a fantastic adventure, that they could take the Assassin's Creed name off and just call it An Odyssey, or something similar, because that is what it is. An RPG-like adventure with conversation choices, consequences for actions that you see in-game, and a main character that has a ton of personality. I play as Kassandra, and find she has a personality much dependent on your conversation choices, a lot like Geralt did. Her voice actress is tremendous as well.

Later today, tomorrow, or this weekend, whenever I can break free of the game in my free time to post some more screenshots I will. This is a game that much like The Witcher 3, compels you to play, and makes it hard to wait till that next session. It makes you eager to find out what happens next.

I have it completely maxed out except for 1 setting, which I don't remember at the moment. I will check this evening which one I turned down a touch. And the 1080Ti runs it great.

This is important: how's the writing, really? Compared to say ... Fallout 4 and Fallout NV? Beause the game looks really interesting, but I'm really wary of bad writing and "awesum" and "immershun" at this point. Many games claim to have good writing but when you look closer it mostly is ... just ideas that seem cool and hip at the time but doesn't really hold up to a closer inspection.

And yes, it ain't an RPG so I can't excpect it to behave like one, but still.

This is important: how's the writing, really? Compared to say ... Fallout 4 and Fallout NV? Beause the game looks really interesting, but I'm really wary of bad writing and "awesum" and "immershun" at this point. Many games claim to have good writing but when you look closer it mostly is ... just ideas that seem cool and hip at the time but doesn't really hold up to a closer inspection.

And yes, it ain't an RPG so I can't excpect it to behave like one, but still.
I honestly think a lot of work was put into the writing. The story and dialogues are for the most part on or nearly at the levels of TW3.

I can’t believe you asked me to compare to either of those Fallout games, LOL. Even FNV, despite being Obsidian, suffered from Bethesda lack of quality writing, despite being better than most of their offerings.

As to RPG, the series has taken a turn with this one. It has a lot of RPG elements. Not quite fully there, but pretty close. The level of role playing you had in TW3 is what you get here.

Ubisoft really should be given props for this one: they have taken notes on really good games and implemented them.

I waste too much time on MP shooters.They're just so good and fun to play. And the way they look and run, whew, getting 130-150 fps in BF1 ultra now.

I'm sure you'd figure it out quick enough Ford...but thought I'd save you the trouble. These two mods make the game quite playable.

TRON 2.0 Unofficial Patch & KillerApp Mod

Both installed properly(meaning they automatically found the proper GOG folders during installation) and solved the CTD problems I was having. Plus...added widescreen support. Overall...Easy Peasy.

Best,

Liquid Cool

Not exactly game related, but I couldn't stand AT&T anymore (or waiting for their fiber rollout). Signed back with cable service.. and to my surprise, they offered gigabit speeds. I'll be a happy camper in a week.
