Just side quests,not going to pripyat anytime soon...

I'm getting the hang of it,finished the prologue and it's shaping up to be an interesting game

So... Yakuza Kiwami defaulted to disabled audio. Fixed that in the audio settings and, maybe two hours in, I'm having a blast. It's a true sequel to Yakuza 0 in every sense (same characters, same art style, same environment, same plot line, etc.). Absolutely nothing is out of place/massively modified.

Just started yesterday it too. I like it really.

I'm pleasantly surprised by it. I really enjoyed FC5 so I thought this might be a bit "too much the same" But first time I fired the saw launcher...

I like Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance's combat more than Nier,but Nier has crazy bullet hell stages and equally whack boss fights.

And both are a blast to play using a xbox/ps3 controller or gamepad,snagging one when I finish Call of Pripyat.

never played fcnd,but I saw a video on the and was pretty disappointed to see the saw launcher does almost no environmental destruction.it works just like a bullet instead of having some cool slashing effect.
I'm skipping fcnd and waiting for rage 2.

Took out 2 pronghorns in one shot the first timeI shot it. It also has pretty cool ricochets as well. That said I’m more of a gun guy anyway. Rage 2 is on my list as well I’m already using the crap Bethesda Launcher for that other game...

eeewwww

I quite like melee myself but I prefer using skill attacks when possible.

 

[Tomgang]

Right now its Metro Exodus and i really like it.
When im done with metro, Far Cry New Dawn is next in line and i also need to finish BF V single player part.

 

[trog100]

new dawn has plenty of conventional guns the saw blade shooter is just one of many to choose from.. it seems to do more damage than a heavy machine gun but its not a spray and pray shooter you do have to hit what you are aiming at..

its also a bit of an RPG game.. you have to build up your character and weapons as you go along.. i have reached the point where i have to go find joseph seed.. i aint sure about that.. he he

Playing Resident evil 2.

played the original---shat myself
playing this version---still shat myself.

Actually loving Apex Legends despite not really liking battle royale games.

its a great feeling getting the last kill to win,albeit hard to actually win most of the time if you dont have a good team.

Just finished Metro Exodus and i loved it. I'll give it a rest and play it again in a month or so. Plenty of places within the game i didn't explore.

Eehh isn't it open world? I was considering paying 50 quid for it on the premise it is open world.

In the absence of an actual first hand knowledge response, here is what I understand of it:

It is much more open than past games, but essentially, you are tied to your train and line for much of the game as your base of operations although you can explore a good distance away. If I have interpreted incorrectly, someone who has already played will correct me.

 

[cucker tarlson]

I went on a usual search for good deals on boxed games,got mirror's edge catalyst and bioshock 2 for pennies.

 

[IceScreamer]

I transfered my PS2 save file of NFS Hot Pursuit 2 on the PCSX2 and I've been playing it non stop for the last 4 days. Good god how much better NFS used to be, especially the PS2 version of HP2, and it's fairly challenging as well.

 

[Cvrk]

Stay away!


The story is meh, bla bla...not as good as it was before.
However the graphics are very very poor....and incredible badly not optimized.

The only way it looks good is at Ultra. You can not play with the graphics cuz they are preset. Going for High it is just so so bad. The game looks like something from 5 years ago.
While steady more than 70+fps never going down more than 50, it constantly interrupts. It kinda helps if you use RiverTunner and set the fps to cap at 60.....kinda but the issues are still there.
And this is some kind of bug, because even at low you still get freezes and some strange lag when the fps goes more than 120+. Freesync turned on,of vsync at half or full it makes no difference.

As long as the story would have been great, but it's not.

On the other hand I almost finished Resident Evil 2 Remake - and it is a fantastic looking game. The eye candy is superb and it runs flawless.

I don't like the game, and I feel like there is no story. I played it because it looks fantastic, all the object and textures have great detail with zero lag.

P.S.: I almost forgot something incredible important. Maybe I am not smart enough. But I played Metro on a HDR display(not my monitor - my new Samsung tv) and while it looked a small amount better than on my monitor. Seriously.......i need to test more gets, maybe get back to Mas Effect Andromeda. But i feel that spending so much money on a HDR monitor is not worth it.

Every game kinda looks like ass on low settings.

I finished Exodus a couple days ago. Turns out there's two possible endings, I got the less desirable one due to some decisions and actions I made in the game. It's shorter than I expected, I spent about 20 hours, but I didn't do every single "side mission". I might do another run through at some point to try for the other ending, but not any time soon. Too many other games right now and not near enough time.

It's a bit of a mix between open world and linear. You can't choose which area to go to next, but in that area you're free to do most things in any order you want. If you don't already have the game wait for a sale.

a huge sale.

thing is games should be made for most hardware,at least decent ones. your 2080ti is supercar comparison.
Metro Exodus needs 2080ti just to run. and that makes it a horrible platform....the most sht part is that they postponed the game almost 2 years. one would expect an incredible polished experience.,as we got in the other 2 previous games.

i remember the first games, they ran extremely well. they messed up this one. maybe with some updates both from the devs and from the drivers/graphics card department.

in the meantime I am drooling over Anthem and Forza 4. (no money to buy it). Would buy Forza cuz it's a massive sale. But from my understanding I need the gold edition, cuz they put out huge dlc's and new cars every month. in these conditions the base game makes no sense.
however the gold edition is very expensive.

How soon you forget how unforgiving 2033 was when it released. Very few people could play it while having great visuals. It was like it was the new Crysis.

This, 2033 was a beast to run at release.

Had a great time playing Metro Exodus. Had to say, exploring the big areas like Volga & Caspian Sea was very refreshing, after playing in limited areas like the Metro tunnels & stations from the previous games. Finding the upgrades also made it even more interesting, while the idea of maintaining your weapons gives Exodus another plus. Playing on the Normal difficulty for me was somewhat "easy" since the entire game compels you to NOT kill the enemies, rescue innocent civilians & save bullets for monsters instead of going in loud 'n' dumb.
