stardew valley got a major update recently, so I am enjoying that

I redeemed the new humble bundle yesterday, so will be playing some of those games soon too

What map are you playing on? In the sandbox mode I really liked the Horizon map, great map to learn the ropes, lots of space.

I think the last game that made me feel as much a boss-man as this one, was Shadow Warrior 2. But Ghost of Tsushima does it better. It remains calm about it, until it doesn't. It's a wild collection of copied concepts in the good old open world game, but man. It does things well. Really well. I like how the game never gets in your way; its pretty easy, but it also plays super smoothly. Combat is about as deep as a puddle... but still, its hard not to just enjoy it for the scenes and pictures it provides. Occasionally, you do get challenged a little bit, still, which also prevents boredom.

Finished this sunday God of War (the original on PS2 emulator).
One of my favorite game.
It's funny because i've started the "new" God of War, the one with the northern mythology ...
I don't really like it. To me it's just a take on The Last of Us with more combat.
The old one, it's a masterclass of action. The combats are fun, it's fast, responsive, and camera well placed.
Some enigmas to calm down sometimes, just one of two tricky passage, nothing hair pulling.
I should redone the 2 too, and maybe the 3 (wich is totally crazy, even better than the sum of the 2 first).

Everybody should remember this passage, and this sword. The artistic direction is top class !

The temple on the Cronos's shoulders. It gives an ide of the game's grandeur !

To Hell and back. It reminds me Dante's Inferno, a very competent clone of God of War, to bad no PC version :/

What's this ?? Was a Pre-version of GoW, the endgame bonus shows some unused concepts and arts, very interesting !

One of the few good things about me is that I can watch something like that and just not care about any of it to the point of having difficulty spotting the differences he points out. Texture pop-ins maybe, but other than that? Nah.

Just did a play through of Resident Evil HD with the Rescale mod. It looks so great. Also used MSAA with compatibility bits (only works at 1080p). I think the Rescale mod is the best upscale fix for the game.

I then did another play through of Resident Evil Zero, which by default looks incredible, but couldn't get MSAA to work over 1080p, so I injected HQAA with reshade on the highest quality profile... and it worked extremely well, although ate up 10% of my GPU performance.

do you remember what your emulation settings were for god of war? not sure if you can just screenshot it or not, but that would be helpful. I want to replay it as well, but I can never figure out what settings to use, or enhancements, etc

Something simple, with PCSX2 :
mostly everything by default, pump up the internal resolution (4x native for 1440px), trilinear filter (trilinear PS2), anisotropic filter (4x).
You'll get the same render as the one on the screens.
You can play with a lot of options, but i found it change just by margin, the real deal, to me, is the resolution and the anisotropic filter.
(of course, maybe some game needs fine tune to play right, but not God of War it seems. The compatibility page is exhaustive about this subject !)
With PCSX2 you can see the changes in real time, so you can configure it at best !
