What are you playing?

Like a Dragon Gaiden on gamepass. Got into Chapter 2 so far, it's fun although it's heavily scripted and seems limited in terms of size and scope. According to devs full playthrough takes around 10-20 hours. They even went as far as to introduce FMV segments which just seem like shortcuts. I honestly can't recommend buying this for full price of $60.

Talos Principle 2.

Playing the gold levels now and I swear, they were designed by AI. Making me feel like a fucking chump, and here I thought I was an intelligent ape.

Isn't that the whole point of puzzles? Getting damn frustrated until you can bask in the glory of getting it all correctly?

I can try a hundred times when I'm angry, I'll still get it wrong. If I take 30 minutes to calm down and then get back to it, I'll do it on the first try. Works every time.

same for me, i dnf'd the first talos principle. I could never get past certain parts. even in Final Fantasy X HD Remaster replay that I am doing, I still have to look up guides when I get stuck on the Cloister of Trials puzzles, I just suck at puzzles, always have and always will. The first few Cloisters are easy puzzles, but after that its really just a lot of running around and hoping you put a sphere in the right spot or not, very annoying. so i just skip the annoying part and follow a guide.

I probably have about another hundred hours of play in FFX HD Remaster on my Deck, so that will be it for me probably for this year.

no I canceled my OLED Deck, see reason why here, I'm not typing it all out again: https://www.techpowerup.com/forums/threads/steam-deck-owners-clubhouse.291802/post-5142884

Completely reasonable. Basically the same reason why I don't fork out for a Switch OLED (also, I rarely play it portable and I do have a RJ45 adapter for it).

AusWolf · Nov 17, 2023

Alan Wake: Remastered just warned me that my 7800X3D with 48 GB RAM and 7800 XT are below the minimum spec.
Also, why does it say "connecting to Epic online services" at startup? It's a 100% single player game!

I still haven't finished Kingdom Come: Deliverance, but it's been crashing on me a lot lately, and I wanted to check if it's a software issue (besides, an AW marathon is due anyway).

Wise decision. As is placing games that will require excellent black level into a separate pile.

Personally I think buying in at every claimed rung on the ladder is typically less, rather than more, fun. Taking into account the general state of gaming and consumer electronics. Doubt you have much to be deflated over that doesn't impact everyone.

UNCHARTED: Legacy of Thieves Collection
So far the game uses a lot more resources, at 4K max raw , 13GB of Ram and 12GB of my 4090 , have lock at 120 fps , uses only 87 percent of my 4090.

Alan Wake has barely been patched once...

... today is out the twelve patch for Alan Wake 2.

Canned Noodles · Nov 18, 2023

The AC Mirage patch notes from Nov 7 states they added an option to disable chromatic aberration, so I'm going to start playing that now

ViperXTR · Nov 18, 2023

Alan Wake 2 made me wanna re-play Max Payne

Rescued an 8 year old girl in Rimworld, had a dance party, and everyone called her a finch, which apparently is an insult.
