What are you playing?

[Keullo-e]

There are pretty many games as project now for me.

Tomb Raider - never played this actually pretty much since I kept changing hardware pretty much, now I have 290 which runs smoothly everything maxed out
Broken Sword 1 - never played this on PS1, I love those old-school point & clickers
FNaF World - FNaF series were pretty interesting, so a RPG based on those is also interesting
Final Fantasy XIII - I've played over 200 hours on Xbox 360, but it just looks so much better on PC
Battlefield 4 - always need some online shooting
Fallout 4 - not much time to play this because of other games
Doom 3 BFG (Xbox 360) - haven't actually never finished Doom 3..

I haven't played Lightning Returns yet as I waited to play it on PC. To my disappointed they have no support over 1080p with an FPS cap. Kinda crappy.

It's just.... so different than XIII and XIII-2, I've maybe played like 5 hours on X360.. Even XIII-2 was so different than XIII, but still somehow playable. LR is just out of my league.

 

[PP Mguire]

With what little I did play and what I've seen I can agree, but I'll still play it when I can do 4k.

If they have fixed performance I may go back to it...I hated playing at low settings and barely getting 30fps.

That was my biggest issue with the game. I haven't really played since September and I even host a dedicated server with 2 bases on the island. I hated the fact that a Titan X would get me 45fps max but the minute I started flying I would get drops into the single digits when loading another grid. I probably will not play it again until they've completely straightened the performance out. (To be fair I have put over 100 hours into it with low res and lowest settings which IMO is ridiculous).

So I picked up Phantom Pain finally and I've been enjoying it. 4 hours in and have only completely the first real mission. Ironically I've done more real gaming on my temp AMD setup than I did the past 4 months on my main rig.

Yeah that's basically the reason I stopped originally is because of the terrible performance. But they have really optimized the game well so far. I am able to run the game on normal mode, don't really need to use the Low Memory Mode like before just to make it run.

Im able to run comfortably on medium - high settings with an enjoyable 40-60fps


Also too, it looks like a lot of updates have happened to the game. There seems to be a lot more dino's around.

 

[Prophecylife]

I'm playing coop Divinity: Original sin with my friend. Lot of fun. The only concern is that the quest system is hard to understand. (No marks on map etc.)

Unfortunately it plays like ass for me still, annnnd my generators ran out of gas so my bases got raided lol.

Interesting..... I assume with your specs your trying to max every little setting.

But honestly with a single GTX 970 the game is running pretty good. Not 60 frames constant, but very playable and enjoyable.

When I 1st started a couple months ago the game was a Slideshow on lowest settings.

If your interested in playing more, im level 25 with 2 of my friends in a private dedicated server. Theres maybe less than 10-15 total people who play on the server right now.

I'm playing with all settings on lowest at 4k with resolution scale bar set to mid. Come out of my volcano and frames tank like they always have. The game runs like shit on my work PC too which is @ 1080p. I have fast flyers so the game just can't keep when I go from grid to grid. Too many draw calls way too fast. It's not so bad on land but if I come across any of our bases it takes a good 30 seconds to load everything. Kinda sad.

I host my own server and have a regular slew of people that are on everyday. 3 admins for different time zones. I would love to rebuild my current base but with the way it performs just can't do it.

Yeah actually I remember running around on a populated server and the structures were so large as I ran by them my game was rendering at like 1 FPS...

I would argue that's more of the games fault for not limiting the amount you can see... Anyways though. I play @ 1080p with all medium/high settings.


One positive thing I have noticed though is they seem to be very dedicated to updating the game. The difference from when I 1st played and now is pretty big. It used to run a lot worse somehow.

Hopefully - fingers crossed - by the time this is released fully they will have it running correctly with some new stuff.

Something's I would like to see is an option to maybe use a fishing pole, and maybe different levels of fishing poles for different kinds of fish.
(A bit surprised a survival game doesn't allow you to build a fishing pole)

Would like to see the option to be allies with other tribes.

Well if they limit what's being rendered within a certain amount of feet from the character then we're just going to have that old console style look where you can't see buildings and such and then they materialize out of nowhere 5ft in front of you. The issue is draw calls and they needed to implement their DX12 patch like 6 months ago. I've even gone as far as limit how many dinos can be spawned at a time just to see if that helped the performance but it doesn't really. Which sure, they do update it rather frequently but they keep adding things that are just stupid compared to actually fixing the performance of the game. I feel like they're the lawful evil to DayZ where they actually work on their game but never fix what needs to be fixed. Luckily for me my friend bought me the game so I could host on my server so I don't really care much if it just sits there for months without being played. Just really annoying when I get an admin call and need to hop into the broken game and fly across the map to help somebody or fix a cheated raid only to get constant lag spikes making my way around.

So is DX12 even available in Ark if your using Windows 10?

I wonder how the game runs on DX11 compared to DX12.

No, they have been delaying that since August.

Ok so I picked up Dying light over the holiday sale and started playing it Saturday.. It's really good! I'm digging the fast pace parkour style game play. So, now I've started another game without finishing some of the other games I've started.. lol I still need to finish Farcry 4.. I just started Fallout New Vega a few months ago.. I started Ark: Survival Evolved.. Oh and I still need to finish GTA V.. lol I've been spending most of my free time playing with my Oculus rift and trying out all the stuff. I've been playing Elite Dangerous with it.

Well, I wouldn't play ARK until they release and iron out more issues. There's really no "finish" to it though.

Farcry 4, restart your game and just sit at the table.....trust me.

I never finished GTA either, got bored REAL fast.

Yea, I'm going to have to restart FC4.. I tried playing it the other week and I've just forgot to much to start back where I left off. I hope Dying light keep getting better. The graphics are really good.

Didn't ask for a review key for Rise of the Tomb Raider (or at least I don't remember), but I got sent one all the same. That means somehow I have to get a review of Bombshell out for release (Friday at 9AM PST) as well as a review for the new Tomb Raider probably on the same day.

Better take a day off work

 

[CAPSLOCKSTUCK]

Using the 26 letters of the alphabet and the numbers 0-9 with even a 10 character code there are 36^10 possible combinations or around 3,656 quadrillion possible combinations.

I would recommend the Welsh alphabet......it has 28 letters.


A, B ,C ,Ch, D, Dd, E, F, Ff, G, Ng, H, I, L
Ll, M, N, O, P, Ph, R, Rh, S, T, Th, U, W, Y



Still trying to master MOTOGP 15.

[Frick]

King's Bounty. Started with Legend, planning on moving on through the games in the coming months. It took a while to get used to the wonky camera, but now I sorta like it. Heroes light.

Also went back to the welsh conquest of the british isles in Crusader Kings 2. King of Brythonaid, Duke of Surrey.

I'm looking forward to the Tomb Raider review, man! I enjoyed the last game. I played it in Nvidia surround and it was immersive, not as immersive as VR.. But climbing some of those mountains gave me a little acrophobia!.. lol I don't see me paying the $59 for it. So, I'll wait around for it to drop around $29. I don't usually go for third person games, but the last Tomb Raider did it very well. I'm a little bummed The Division is third person.. I watch a few youtube videos of it and it's nothing like the first time they showed it graphically wise. The graphics look pretty bad now. I hope they were just playing on lower settings and have a higher resolution setting. It reminds me of what they did to Watch dogs..
