I'm waiting for a $20 sale and more patches.

I am on the last mission of Dishonored, played the entire game on Steam Deck and it has been a 10/10 experience.

Zero issues over here with the loading times GoG games installed in HDD, but i had the same issue with Vampyr on EGS launcher and that killed for me the interest on going back and finish the game.
Like you said stupidly long loading times. Ive read somewhere that was because of Amd platform cuz Intel had no issues with this.

Regarding hardware

View attachment 292648

It's been so long since I played this game that I can't remember exactly what hardware I was using. I now use an Intel CPU, but before that I had an AMD Phenom and I have had my EVO 850 500GB SSD for several years, but not very long.

I think people with Intel also had the problem: https://steamcommunity.com/app/418240/discussions/0/152392549354536308/
Nope I am on a SSD... It is apparently different from one player to the others..
I ama on a i7-5820k
16Go ram and a 500GB 850 EVO SSD disk
So I am not sure what could lead to that kind of INITIAL loading time

In my case, the loading time was around 1 minute and 40 seconds. I used the GOG version. I've never seen a game take longer than a minute to load. Games like 0 A.D. , Open Arena and OpenDiablo 2 open without delay in FreeBSD and Linux.

But I think that this slow loading time of this game was a general problem that percentage-wise a lot of people were affected by:

Long Load and save Times :: Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun General Discussions

Its a great game, but it is dependent on saving and loading a lot and it does it extreamly slowly. This really breaks the flow of the game and I hope it is improved with the full release...

Loading forever on start screen :: Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun General Discussions

My game loads past the Unity splash but then it is loading perpetually on the screen that shows all the characters on the white background. It's on a solid state and I have modern hardware, if a little dated, but after five full minutes the game still hadn't loaded. I played the game previously...

Last night I remembered that I had Civilization Vi as a free game in the Epic Store, so I reinstalled it. Let's just say, by the time I quit the game to go to bed, it was frigging 4 am. I was playing as the Aztecs, I was having fun destroying & capturing cities, and the game's not even finished yet.

Finished my Aztec game yesterday, nuked the Sumerian city of Ur for my Domination victory. Half the fun in Civ lies in outlandish alt-history situations like this.

Next up, playing as Scythia. Allied with nearby Egypt and Cleopatra looks awfully flirty towards me...

Open world theme park. Lots of things to do. Guided tour ish with some puzzling and a bunch of combat. RPG progression systems.

I got a bit burned out on that thing unless the style/world really appeals to me, and this isn't it for me. I think its fantastic if you like Harry Potter though

Final Fantasy XIII on PC, I've platinum'd this on PS3 and now it's time to get all the achievements on PC.

Just my opinion but this is a hella underrated game, I know it's linear etc. but still a good one.

Cvrk · Apr 27, 2023

The Mostly Negative reviews on Steam are from 2 things: cheaters & the ability to pay for kill streaks.
My friend gifted me the game, after a few hundred of hours in the free-to-play Warzone 2. The Campaign in Modern Warfare 2 2022 is great and so is the multiplayer. As far as I'm concerned CoD is still the most fast-paced shooter out there.

Horizon Burning Shores, looks pretty & awesome, perf mode giving 60-80 fps, pretty solid.

Also tried some 30mins of Star wars see what all the fuss about performance is about (actually screwed up and was running stock 4.5 ring instead of 5.2 which significantly improves the asset loading stutters and fps perf was a 5-10fps higher after rechecking ingame)

I bought the Rally expansion for Forza Horizon 5, I like it.. looks and runs great!

Agreed, great game. I've been playing Dayz Gone and nearly done (I think). Looks beautiful and I love smashing freak hordes. The post apocalyptic game The Last of Us should have been.

Try the sand dunes area, nice 40fps performance with loads of stutters :laugh:

(unless they patched it since launch)

Haven't played Forza 5 in a while , just checked , steam already downloaded the Rally DLC a while ago, a nice addition! I have Forza 5 Premium.

On the verge of buying Fortune Island in FH4.

Somehow I went directly from Spring to Winter and got locked there for the longest time. Adapting to poor weather and scooting around in Rally cars sure looks like an intentional sales tactic. 300 mph in rain on slick race tires along the precipice of large drop offs is sounding more fun than I believe it to actually be.

Expensive and completely made for consoles. With only a small options for PC tweaking....but you buy it for the story & gameplay which is AMAZING!
