What are you playing?

[DavidS]

I had a deal for the zombie chronicles in Call of Duty Black Ops 3, so I've been playing those maps. I wish it had some of the zombie maps from Black Ops 2.

This is the ambient & atmospheric world I'm gaming in right now...

Judgment and its sequel Lost Judgment are coming to PC!

Wait for a sale and grab both as a bundle (which comes with story DLC for the sequel as a bonus) or better yet, wait for them to come to Game Pass. They're a twist on regular Yakuza gameplay with some PI elements. Both have solid story and offer around 60+ hours of gameplay, each. Looks like they finally settled the issue with management agency for the main talent that prevented any title from being released on PC. I guess big pile of cash makes a difference.

Release date: Out NOW!

Also coming to PC is Like a Dragon - Ishin, which is a remake of OG Japan exclusive spin-off of Yakuza that was set in feudal Japan (it also had a sequel, so there's a high chance it will also come to PC at some point).

Characters from the Yakuza series make a return in this one, this time loosely based on historical characters (AFAIK).

Release date: February 2023.

But wait, there's more.

There's also Like a Dragon: Gaiden, which is focused on Kiryu's story after events of Yakuza 6. Action will take place in the same timeline as Yakuza: Like a Dragon.

Release date: 2023

And last but not least there's also...

Like a Dragon 8 announcement:

Release date: 2024


I really hate the confusing naming for the western releases. They suddenly decided to ditch the Yakuza moniker and now they go with direct translation of the Japanese title. I mean:
Yakuza 6
Yakuza: Like a Dragon
Like a Dragon: Gaiden
Like a Dragon 8

Either way, SEGA is doing good work bringing these games to Western audiences.

Welcome to the club. I do believe in this community I am the BO3 zombies leader. It's a very small category
Seriously, there are 2,7 million customer maps(or less) you will find under the steam workshop. I have been playing them with friends for years. it's all on my youtube chanell.
Enjoy because there will never ever be another modded black ops.

I am sick of playing fifa, so I started to play DOTA

Good freaking grief that desktop and taskbar! Hells bells that's crazy...

I'm in sandbox mode lately... after Planetary Annihilation and some neat old school RTS AI skirmish fun... I picked up Mount & Blade Warband yesterday. Immediately checked the workshop... holy crap this is going to last me a while Game is aged but man is it fun when battles scale to over 50 bodies on both sides.

They really should have taken that name and spun it some other way. Like a Virgin-- err Dragon... Also I can't stop reading it as 'Like' a Dragon, the Facebook way.

make sure you dont miss combat training missions in training camp. some easy xp to cover lvl up to 2nd or 3rd lvl + weapon mastery leveling.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH klunk.


The sound I make fainting at the sight of that desktop.

 

[Cvrk]

@u2konline no

 

[InVasMani]

So is it 255 desktop icons or much yes!!?

 

[The King]

268 icons (12X22) + 4

Looks similar to my old desktop from back in the day.

Damn, as someone who likes to keep things neat/clean/organized that desktop is triggering me in a few ways.
Kinda reminds me of my brother, he does the same thing and his browsers thats another type of animal. 'randomly opened 100s of tabs eating up most of his PC's resources constantly..'
Atm I have like 23 icons on my 2560x1080 29" screen and this is already a bit of a bother for me, could remove a few actually right now.

At least I can spot a few good games there so thats something.

when you pass after lvl 10-11 xp to next level is really high and hard to obtain but at that point you should have strong enough force to take forts so switching from looters and bandits to med/big sea riders groups for better rewards and xp shouldnt be a problem.
also make sure you get best equipment first and take part in the battles. you get a lot xp by landing killing blow. tournaments are also good xp booster. named enemies in the tournament give you about 300xp per knock out and you can meet em more then once.

Question guys, ive been testing my new asus tuf rtx 3080 12gb mostly on Cyberpunk 2077 and my gpu usage doesn't go higher than 90%
maybe 95% and goes down to 70s % 80s %. Anyone here having that kind of issue ?? i updated W10 and made a clean install of nvidia drivers
3440x1440p uncapped fps
High Settings
BTW i found this ...
whoever is interested i got the location of the mission.

 

[P4-630]

my gpu usage doesn't go higher than 90%

Seems like you got a CPU bottleneck, I had the same with GTA V, used to run it with my i7 6700K @ 4.5Ghz, did a platform upgrade with i7 12700K and now I see 98~99% GPU load throughout the game with CPU load around 30% max.

never thought i was gonna have a cpu bottleneck with a 5600x at that resolution. Even though the % of the cpu is not hitting more than 90%.
Is weird cuz plenty of benchmarks never referred to the 5600x as a bottleneck for a rtx 3080, if thats the case, wow

 

[P4-630]

90%

That's enough to be a bottleneck on at least 1 thread of your CPU.

Maybe weird, but I just say that I have experienced the same albeit with another game, I play at 1440p btw.

i found this vid on GN that i never watched before, gonna check whole thing.

Review CPU usage in GPU reviews is a complete lie. Welcome to reality

 

[P4-630]

@jormungand , whatever you believe,
I know now that my previous CPU was a bottleneck at 80~90% load in various games and now with my new CPU I'm seeing a ~30% CPU load in my games and 98~99% GPU load + better fps.

GL!

 

[jormungand]

i can understand your point, from my own experience i always ask why gpu benchmarks for example in battlefield V or 1 tested the campaign and not the multiplayer,
when in multiplayer the cpu was gonna have a mayor hit on the gpu performance, and most people bought the game for the multiplayer not the campaign.

im not doubting your statement, i had before the 7700k and know for sure the awful experience of a bottleneck. But watching this happen with a 5600x after so many reviews im in awe.
Btw you and me almost had the same system in a point, you the 6700k and me the 7700k with same gpu

 

[P4-630]

Newer games will use more cores/threads, I haven't played CP2077 much but since it's quite "recent" I bet it loves using CPU's with many cores/threads.
