What are you playing?

[Ruru]

I remember Stalker and Far Cry 2 being very hard to run back then. That was 2006, maybe 2007. Oblivion wasn't out yet, neither Crysis (now this one had rally awful development).

Oblivion came out in 2006, STALKER and Crysis in 2007 and Far Cry 2 in 2008.

Ok so im looking for some racing games to play with my friends as we have exhausted forza
any suggestions

If you don't mind arcade racing, NFS Heat is good and fun to play with friends. Especially at night with an army of cops chasing your ass.

Edit: I'm thinking of Days Gone, seems promising. Any opinions?

Dude, Need for Speed Hor Pursuit 2010, is one of the best NFS games ever made, and is one of the greatest arcade racing games in the history of racing games, its soooo good, i wasn't a fan of racing games growing up but when i played that game i got addicted to it because it was so fun.

They released a remastered version of it last year, check it out

Need for Speed™ Hot Pursuit Remastered on Steam

Feel the thrill of the chase and the rush of escape behind the wheels of the world’s hottest high-performance cars in Need for Speed™ Hot Pursuit Remastered– a heart-pumping, socially competitive racing experience.

store.steampowered.com

Need for speed Heat is also i think the best of the new NFS games, so maybe give that one a look too

Days Gone - Great story and decent gfx , has me hooked for the moment, never thought id be playing and enjoying a Playstation game on my PC

Crash Bandicoot 4 - More of the same really, but always like the Crash series ,apart from CTR.

I always use controller for most of my third person action games. So that was never an issues for me.

But if it's on PC the keys still should be done correctly in the first place, bethesda being one of the biggest offenders.

Quake III ftw

Agreed.

side note: Metro Exodus on PC just got full support for the dualsense PS5 controller... haptic feedback and all... I'm tempted to get a dualsense controller now... 70 bucks is a bit steep for a controller that may break after 417 hours of play time though.... haha

Dusted off Resident Evil HD Remake. Have to say, it really holds up. On my first attempt two years ago I gave up after 30 minutes but yesterday I went all in for a couple of hours. Too bad pc port is borked when it comes to display modes and in fullscreen mode it hardlocks to 60 Hz.

speaking of 60hz hard locks... is it worth trying to unlock Skyrim on PC 60 fps cap? I heard the game can act funny if you do so... but on same hand I hate gaming at 60 fps these days... 165 hs 165 fps would make skyrim so much more fun... worth trying to unlock it or is that a hopeless endeavor?

I haven't played Croc in a long time, but when I found out someone did an unofficial remaster called "Croc - Definitive Edition" I just had to relive my childhood for a little while.

You'd have to ask our resident Skyrim experts, quick glance at PCGamingWiki shows this:

This is way overkill for the question you asked, but here is my whole readme for Skyrim SE. 144Hz works perfectly on my system with the SSE Display Tweaks without breaking the Havok physics. Bless the modding community.

HOW TO SET UP SKYRIM SE

> Download and install Skyrim SE via Steam

> Download and install Nexus Mod Manager
Guide for installation here: https://wiki.nexusmods.com/index.php/Installing_Nexus_Mod_Manager
Download here: https://github.com/Nexus-Mods/Nexus-Mod-Manager/releases
* Note: I had to install to C: for it to work properly.

> Download and install the Skyrim Script Extender (SKSE)
Download here, pick the SE build: https://skse.silverlock.org/
Installing this is a matter of extracting to the Skyrim Steam directory, totally separate from the Nexus Mod Manager.
Afer installing manually, you can pick "Launch SKSE" from the Nexus Launcher - this is important to get the 144Hz mod working...

NEXUS MOD MANAGER MODS:

> SSE Display Tweaks
Download here: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/34705
Default install. No need to make tweaks. This makes 144Hz and higher work without Havok physics glitches.

> Unofficial Skyrim Special Edition Patch
Download here: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/266/

> SKYUI
Download here: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/12604

> Immersive Citizens - AI Overhaul SE
Download here: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/173

> Unread Books Glow SSE
Download here: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/1296

AUDIO

There are 3 mods that I use. 2 are actual sound mods, and one integrates the two together:

> Audio Overhaul for Skyrim SE <sound mod 1>
Download here: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/12466
> Immersive Sounds - Compendium <sound mod 2>
Download here: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/523/

Download here: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/36761

Load order for audio mods:
Audio Overhaul Skyrim.esp
Immersive Sounds - Compendium.esp
AOS_ISC_Integration.esp

NOW RUN EVERYTHING AND LAUNCH FROM NEXUS MOD MANAGER BY SELECTING "LAUNCH SKSE"

I fired up Metro Exodus EE to test their update for the Dual Sense controller and... it is awesome. It only works if the ps5 controller is plugged via USB though.

The game detects it as a PS5 controller and buttons are mapped to it automatically. The rumble on the controller is immersive even while walking. You can feel the small bumps on the floor which feels weird at first but is a nice touch.

The triggers is where it feels the best. I have no idea how they made it but it feels like you're actually pulling a trigger and not pushing a button. It magically had a tactile bump when firing a gun.

ive been 15 days off from gaming, overtime at work and spending the little time i have left with my family.
I was waiting for a break to continue Gears of War 5 on gamepass, then jump for Nier automata but....
i received a text from a friend today telling me that they added it Man-Eater to gamepass.....
My inner Shark told me to go and get revenge on those humans....enjoying the game along with my son atm.

Play'n Days Gone. Talk about a underrated game imho. It's like all the zombie games rolled into one and then some. You've got your nest and hordes from State Of Decay or Dying Light, elements from the Last of Us. Just everything is thrown in and it does it in a very good manner. Some of the best motorcycle driving mechanics out there. All i can say about the reviewers is that they are just jaded gamers because i'm having a blast.

Kid zombies...new and creepy

Cool, I'll put it on my wishlist. Oh does it also have parkour?

I recently bought the walking/flying simulator Cloudpunk and as far as those 'games' go it is surprisingly well written with actual more than one voice actor (fu Biomutant).
Oh well, let's hope Beyond Good and Evil 2 will be good (and evil).

Sorry, no parkour...we will have to wait until Dying Light in December for that. The Zombies are meaner at night but they can't see as good.
