What are you playing?

Thanks for that tip!
I can't seem to fathom out how to install the RBDOOM mod from the Github page. There don't seem to be any downloadable files, unless I missed something.
Apparently you have to compile it yourself.

i like the 2016 doom more then the new one.
would like to hear from you if ya play the newer one too Mr. wind
Ah, I just got started lol

Barely played an hour or so because it was near midnight, so I was already starting to feel sleepy at that moment lol

Depending on what impression I get from this one, I might grab Doom Eternal.
 
dont be hasty on the new one just if ya get it for 3 dollars but thats just my- you know
 
Replaying The Outer Worlds since both the DLCs are out now. I'll try to play it differently this time.......

Thanks for the reminder. I’ll need to play those soon!
 
Though I don't understand why OpenGL of all things is the default API instead of Vulkan
Nothing wrong with OGL. It's still one of the goto standards of the industry.
then there is the fact that it can be controlled using the motion sensors (!) in the PS4 controller.
You're playing wrong. Keyboard and mouse my friend. Yes, yes!

Perhaps, but it's not as good as Vulkan. Then again, optimization goes a long way (and I hear id Software are pretty much legends at optimizing their games), so it's not that bad... unless you're using a Radeon card.

Of course, but removing the DualShock input requires either disconnecting the controller or disabling Steam Input. I usually disable or force Steam input on a per-game basis if the game gives me troubles with controller config, plus I rarely disconnect the controller, so DOOM surprised me there. I mean, of all things, the motion sensors? :laugh:

Though, honestly, perhaps once I beat the game I'd like to give it a run using just the DualShock. It didn't feel like it would be super awkward to do so.

That depends. They trade blows in some areas. It can depend on what you want to do and how you want to do it.

Good point, didn't know about that. But then I don't use my PS4 controllers on my PC. It is very odd.

Have fun. I couldn't do it. Just can't play FPS type games with a gamepad. Just too awkward and cumbersome for my play style. It's KB&M or nothing.
 
No Man's Sky, got it on the sale on Steam. And it feels like a pretty weird game. It is intriguing while also being severely annoying. But after a few hours I'm basically still in the tutorial (it feels like it anyway), we'll see how I feel at the ten hour mark. Playing permadeath mode and it was on the seventh start I spawned on a planet that didn't kill me before I got to the starting spaceship.

Also, it has the really bad and modern OTS perspective, and when you shoot (with the mining laser) it zoomes in and I really, really hate it.

it does have its quirks, havent played NMS for a while. Its permadeath mode is not as fun solo. The living ship quest might take you several tries

press x then scroll to utilities=>camera position for fpv.
also check your settings as my doesnt zoom when using mining laser. i've fiddled with settings. there should be something that turns it off but i am not sure which exactly

1st person is weird to. I don't like the character being off center.

i dont think it is off center in fpv. but i havent played in fpv so i am not 100% sure.
 
I've been juggling 3 games, HZD/P5 Strikers/Bravely Default 2

I can cross HZD from the list finally, down to 2! (it's been exhausting trying to actively play 3 games, never again!) o_O
 
Still going pretty hard on Mario Kart on my phone lol.. I think I'm just about lvl 75 now on the 45th tier.. getting up there lol.. I still refuse to pay for the extras..

XS Max is starting to show its age a little with some annoying stutters when the shit gets thick :rolleyes:
I got burnt out on that pretty quick. They really try to shove the in-app purchases down your throat from what I remember. Only played it to get my Mario Kart fix but now that I have a switch I just go to that instead. Stutters on your XS Max you say? I don't remember having any issues and I'm still rocking a 6S (although it's been quite a while since I played it to be fair).

But, do you guys know what wasn't boring and no farming involved?
After seeing all the praise everyone is singing about Valhalla I'm really tempted to pick it up while it's on sale. I'm a bit wary though as I haven't played any of the new-style AC games, and part of me wonders if I should check out Origins or Odyssey ($15 each) to see if I like it before dropping $45 for Valhalla. Also eyeing up Horizon: Zero Dawn while it's on sale too...decisions, decisions...

I picked up the OG AC for $6 and finished that up this past week since I never did finish it back on PS3. Much more one-dimensional than I remember, although I didn't expect much from a 2008 Ubisoft game. There's essentially no enemy variation whatsoever. The "hardest" thing you ever end up doing is fighting massive groups of enemies, which is made ridiculously easy once you unlock the ability to counter. The last mission you fight 3 or 4 big groups. Then you head to the final location, fight a couple more big groups, and then face the final boss, who just turns out to be two stages, the first being where he spawns multiple copies of himself (another big group, whaddaya know?) and then teleports around a bit.

My buddy gifted my Age of Empires II: Remastered (or whatever they call the remake). I'm not particularly good at those strategy games, but he wanted someone to play with and he knows I'm good for it. He has ADD and I see why he enjoys that game haha. So much micromanaging to be done: making sure your villagers are constantly being churned out by your town center, making sure your farms are seeded and being worked, making sure to do the upgrades on your resource buildings, scouting around, fighting other empires, etc. Overwhelming at first for an AoE noob like me but I'm slowly getting the hang of it.

Thanks for the reminder that's in my backlog. Need to give it a go. Also have Metro Exodus as a prime candidate, but I downloaded and played a couple missions of that and it just...didn't really stand out to me. I don't know, maybe I'll ahve to give it another chance and get deeper into the story, but it just felt like a very "on-the-rails" shooter. The whole "change filters", "wipe off your mask" and "burn shit with your lighter" mechanics are different, but nothing else really got me hooked.

Good point, didn't know about that. But then I don't use my PS4 controllers on my PC. It is very odd.
I only used them when playing a couple emulated console games (DS4Windows spoofs W10 into thinking it's a X360 controller), but other than that I never use them.

Have fun. I couldn't do it. Just can't play FPS type games with a gamepad. Just too awkward and cumbersome for my play style. It's KB&M or nothing.
Agreed. Going back to a controller after using KB+M for shooters is painful.

I picked that up on sale a few months back. Played 30(?) hours or so but just kinda got burnt out.
 
Just finished playing Driver Hell.

I'm giving Cp2077 another go now it's had a major update still some annoying glitches going on but so far nothing game breaking just people walking in mid air or sliding sideways down the road which still make me laugh

This game has been vaporware for 4 years since they put out a trailer...then not a word. Now they really think in the current economic climate people are going to shell out car payments for those top level versions of the game?

Got a couple days off, and after a big disappointment CP2077 brought with it, I've decided that ME: Andromeda wasn't that bad after all (from a technical perspective, at least... I still have a beef with story and characters).
