What are you playing?

[LifeOnMars]

Ah yes, the post-it room. Did you read the memo on the wall?

The office's owner dryly remarking that he will be swapping offices as his has become unusable... I can only imagine!

It was free on Luna a couple of months ago, I enjoyed it thoroughly. I will say that game streaming is better than playing on a potato PC, for modern games at least.

I did read the memo , I've been soaking everything in the game offers. Streaming is a great option but it's not for me unfortunately, always seem to feel the input lag real bad. I'm playing this maxed with DLSS and it's beautiful, I'd take the whole visual package of this over Cyberpunk anyday.

Yep! My particular setup gives me more lag and less frames, so streaming isn't bad.

That game is a great one to take slow and do/find everything.

Off topic, but i have been using a 27inch monitor and playing games at 1080p. So i figure since i recently bought a new card, W6600, why not try changing my resolution and game resolution to 2560x1440p. I figure it could handle it. Not only are games still running smooth, they look way better. I'm late i know lol. Just saying. Playing the new saints row at 2560x1440p, fov at 65, using a reshade config and adding my own settings ( because the game really does look kinda bad without it ), its looking really good. All my games are, cyberpunk, etc.

Anyways, I'm playing Saints row 4 and new saints row

atm.

See, this is how you make DLC's:

"RimWorld’s third expansion, RimWorld – Biotech, is coming out in a few weeks!"

First off, they are proper expansions, not just mini DLC stuff. Plus, announcement and BAM release. Personally I don't really play with the religion systems, but this looks cool. Robotics/mechanoids, babies and genetic engineering. Lots of people are obviously saying stupid things like "BUT THERE ARE ALREADY MODS FOR THAT" and to those people I'll echo the comment that simply said "mods but with quality and polish" and that is exactly what it is. Many if not mods for Rimworld, especially the ones many people think should be in the base game, messes with the fundemental balance of the game and what the game is.

Rimworld is my best friends favorite game, I bought him one of the expansions for his bday once.

I'm currently leveling my Paladin I created in 2004 in World of Warcraft. 50% experience bonus and I haven't played him in like a decade or more... never thought I'd go back to WoW, but with the 50% experience buff, I thought I would go back just for a month to level him up and experience some of the dungeons I have missed over the years.

Pretty cool having all this stuff in my inventory from 2004/2005, nostalgia is a weird thing.

Thanks for the warning. This looks like yet another crappy story driven racing game with yet more cheesy characters and millennial-rap dialogue.

 

[Sithaer]

I'm done with Immortals Fenyx, well finished the main game and the second DLC.
First and the third DLC was way too annoying for me, played the third till about half way but it was more of a chore than fun + can only save at altars and when the game randomly crashed on me after finishing a difficult puzzle/map part I called it since I didn't felt like re doing the whole zone... 'yeah I don't have the patience for such anymore.'

Main game was really good, had lots of fun with that and the second DLC was alright with the Eastern style.

Now I've picked up Control again cause I've bought the DLC on a sale for a few $, only finished the main game when it was given away for free on EPIC.

I kinda forgot how to play the game since but I'm starting to slowly remember. 'couldn't even recall the hotkey for switching my weapons at first'
At least this time around I can max out the game with RT and mess around with it, I wish more games would have such a decent DLSS implementation too.

Not necessarily, Heat wasn't all that bad, though it was shame EA dropped support for it. It probably won't touch U2 or MW (2005 of course) but gameplay footage is needed.

Nothing destroys immersion more for me than when a game is more like work than fun. I just quit them. I know that any game that I have to force myself to finish isn't worth my time and it's a good way to get burnt out on gaming.

Yeah I've also decided that a few years ago after I've quited an MMO which I've played actively for 7+ years and at that point it felt like a second job..
I play games to chill/have fun/escape and not to be annoyed with. 'theres more than enough of that in real life..'
I also play less and less nowadays so I rather play games that don't irritate me and waste my time.

This is why I also avoid overly difficult/punishing games, just not my cup of tea anymore. 'Most of the time I play on normal unless I know the game in and out already'

In that regard Control is about right, I think I skipped 1-2 zone/boss in the main game that was a bit too much for my taste but in overall its a fun experience for me.

FEAR is a great traditional, no-nonsense shooter and is up there in my top five FPSs, mainly for its simplicity, range of weapons and fun factor. The lighting and especially the sound are excellent, not to mention the undercurrent of creepiness which is never overplayed in the game. Stands up brilliantly seventeen years after release.

FEAR was one of those games like Dead Space, Stalker that gave me an unique experience like no other game .

The majority of us from what I'm seeing want remasters of the original classic nfs games. I know i do. But yea another crappy nfs game, the series has been dead for a long time IMO. Thank goodness we can still play the classic ones.

True that, especially Dead Space when it came out. It was terrifying at times, however sequels watered it down after.

I believe you can't play Underground 2 on Windows 10 or newer because of the missing SecuROM drivers. As a U2/NFSMW fan, I'll tell you that Heat isn't all that bad and you should try it, lots of tuning options and it's fun to race versus friends online, but it may be missing some of the 'underground' vibes from U2. Carbon was good, but it didn't feel like a U2 successor. Also played ProStreet which was more 'pro' oriented and offered more realism to the series, though we all know NFS is not about that.

Imo Dead Space 1 was a 10/10 full package. Horror/Story/Action/rpg upgrades, instant decisions and actions, Environment, sound ffs amazing sound. Level design,
the weapons and suit upgrades, the kinesis module, the no HUD to give you that profound immersion. My words will never make justice to that game.
Even though i love the Witcher franchise ill dare to say that is not close to be the perfect game that Dead Space is.


....im right now debating myself if
buying Ac valhalla or FC 6 ??
both same price for standard editions $20, too bad Ubisoft decided to go greedy and don't sell the base game + dlcs for a reasonable price
like when i bought AC odyssey+dlc for $34.

Yup the first FEAR was something else in its time and help up pretty well, I sort of liked FEAR 2 too but 3 I only finished cause I wanted to finish the serie.
I still have the box copy of the first game, funny but my mother gave it to me as christmas gift w/o even knowing what she picked. 'it was in that cheapo games big box in a TESCO,lol'

Sadly the DvD wont read anymore in my external USB drive so I can't reinstall it, I wanted to play it not long ago. 'Edit: its on sale on GoG atm for less than 2$ so I will just go and buy it while I can'

Even tho I'm not a big horror game fan I do play some every now and then and Dead Space 1+2 was my fav, played them when they were relased and they scared the crap out of me a few times but it was still a great experience. 'damn those creepy ass sounds in those games..'
I'm looking forward to Callisto Protocol, if we ignore the naming then its like a new Dead Space game since some of the developers are the same.
+Dead Space 1 remake is also coming early next year so good stuff.

 

[Splinterdog]

I picked up Dead Space for free on EA years ago and have hardly played it since because it scared the crap out of me. Those creatures with spikey arms like the molten metal Terminator, but much scarier, were just horrible.
I don't like horror games either as a rule, but I still play them

Nah, what we really want is a good, new NFS game. Remasters in themselves is a sign of creative failures. "We don't have any good ideas for new stuff so just slap some paint of old code and ship it as new"

Dont worry you have the opportunity to play the game with newer graphics/textures, that way you wont be scared but shit in your pants, like i did in RE7 demo.

Man... I got a humanimal dead in the right eye with a throwing knife in Metro Exodus and I wanted to screenshot it, but I'm not running a top-end to do it externally... and apparently the 'photo mode' on MEE is actually just a... headless camera? mode? It doesn't have a 'take screenshot' function. In what way is it a photo mode if there's no way to capture an image? Should I have just expected to need other software to actually take the 'photo?'

WTF is that about? It's just strange to me to have a freecam-style photo mode with filters, and then require an app, or use WGM, or some other inconvenient way of doing it, to actually capture it, as opposed to just hitting a dedicated key? I didn't buy it on Steam, so I don't have the overlay. I turn off Nvidia overlay on pretty much any game that's not fully stable (MEE is mostly, but not entirely crash-free.) Why can I not just press a button THERE in "PHOTO MODE" to... iunno... save a .png to the game folder? Is that so much to ask?

It'd be like if somebody sold a camera and lens to you, but all that's actually are there are telescope optics, no sensor. To take a photo is to record an image. I've never heard of a camera that doesn't capture an image. Seems to me that the definition of a photo is an image captured by a camera. Sooo... yeah. What is this?

I used to just use ReShade, but I don't have it installed because all it'd be doing for me in MEE is giving me a very non-obtrusive FPS counter and screenshot capability. However, the ability to take screenshots without external tools has been kind of a staple feature in games for a long time. I'm truly baffled at the decision to include a photo mode that requires something external to actually use. I guess I never realized, because I usually run something like that anyway.

All I know is... I'm not saving and restarting the game for that. I don't care enough. It's just one of those things that I can't wrap my head around.
