The first looks like AC Odyssey. Trying to place the second.

Edit: is the second Exoplanet: First Contact?

Playing Far Cry New Dawn i like it

Just finished Yakuza Kiwami. @FordGT90Concept I wasn't wrong recommending the first one. Oldie but goldie...

 

[FordGT90Concept]

Wasn't old to me because I never played the original. Just seemed like a sequel for Yakuza 0.


Still grinding away in Assassin's Creed Syndicate. I like the atmosphere (horse and buggies really were a thing and so were steam locomotives) but, like Unity, they turned the free running up training wheels up to full retard. Want to climb up? Nope, you gotta go a little to the left or right. Want to free run down? Nope, that's not safe so we'll make you go all the way down to the ground instead of winging a jump for a tiny bit of sync loss. Additionally, it feels as grindy as Unity and of all the Social Helix Glitches I collected, only two actually counted because "Helix Glitch service is offline." It might be my favorite since the Assassin's Creed II trilogy but it's still far from it.

redownloaded NFS Prostreet coz nostalgia. Also played back Warframe & Destiny 2. Might start my 2nd playthrough with Metro Exodus on Hard difficulty.

Picked up good ol Borderlands.
Realised that I have all three games but I finished only second... (1 and 3 got from steam sale at some point).
The sense of humor and endless sea of guns just makes it so worth playing.

Yeah it is and actually it was half priced there for. Even when it first came out. One thing is sure, many could learn for Sega how to make razer sharp textures.

The first Borderlands is a lot of fun. I'm sure you will enjoy it. I usually play as Roland because I like using the turret.

Im playing as a soldier right now actually! Haha, Roland right, I was thinking that I know that character from somewhere.
Got a bit of framerate issues though... stutter at every res even with vsync on.

After playing and having fun with Division 2 Beta, I've decided to spend 9€ on Division 1 Gold edition and have been playing that ever since. That on PC and GT Sport on PS4.

I do like Sega bringing these PlayStation exclusives from yesteryear to Windows and giving them the TLC they need to be fantastic games on Windows. I think Sega has found its niche.


Syndicate has so many bugs.

1st good, good.
2nd is Strange Brigade.

 

[FordGT90Concept]

I couldn't believe this was happening:

The Enforcer eventually killed the Hybrid Behemoth solo thanks to the other Hybrid lifting it and Karax doing some kind of crazy/weird healing. That was going on for over a minute.




Edit: Almost done with Syndicate and, I have to say, the boss fight sucks. Why? Too many cutscenes. Literally no flow to it. Just let me kill the !@#$%^ for !@#$^ sake! Major Mistakes Developers Make - Chapter 15: Theatrics Getting in the Way of Gameplay. The ending was pretty good after that but...ugh.

Have Victoria's side missions to finish up and then I'm done. Might try Axiom Verge next...


Edit: Doh! Forgot about Jack the Ripper. Seems I'm going to be playing Assassin's Creed Syndicate a while longer. On that note, Perks is only 52%. I glanced through them again and no way am I wasting my time finishing all of those. So many of them bare based on sheer luck (quad kill, double counter shot, and so on). Others are just plain grind (drift five times 75 times over, I'm not even joking). I got pretty much all of the ones that come naturally and I'll leave it at that.

Managed to get into the beta for RuneScape Mobile during the last sign up period. Runs great on my new LG V40.

Mobile version still needs some polishing, but it runs much better than I would've expected.

Fallout 76, admiring the 2500U's immense graphical processing prowess at 7.1W:

22 whole frames per second. Feels so good. And looks so good too. at the incredibly high* resolution of 1024x768!!

*in 1998 ( ͡ಠ ͜ʖ ͡ಠ)

 

[FordGT90Concept]

Have a Jack the Ripper kill animation stuck pose shot:

Spoiler: it was creepy because her eyes still blinked

Even though I was almost done with that brothel mission, there was no way for me to break her out of that animation so I had to quit to title screen and do it all over again. Seriously, I think Syndicate surpasses Unity in terms of bugginess. ...it's not even close, to be honest.


Not thrilled with playing Axiom Verge, I'm contemplating buying Frostpunk…

Edit: Oh! Forgot I got Thimbleweed Park free too...that's more my kind of game...

I think any bugs are a case by case basis, as in sporadic and not consistently widespread by type. In my playthrough it may have been the most bugfree of the AC titles for me.

 

[FordGT90Concept]

Other than pathing issues which have gotten progressively worse since the original, I didn't really see any glaringly bugs until Assassin's Creed Liberation (I distinctly recall boats floating straight up from the water) which released in early 2014. They've gotten progressively buggier since.

It has CTD'd at least three times.


Edit: Jack the Ripper is the worst expansion I have ever played for an Assassin's Creed game. It's like they pulled the whole thing out of their butt as a demo of the fear system they added. The mechanics of the fear system aren't great, the way they make you play two different characters in the game breaks the whole ancestral memory macro story, and the story in general just feels...unrewarding. Their efforts would have been better spent polishing the core game.

 

[SN2716057]

The last 2 Assassin's Creed (Origins & Odyssey) are the most bug free of all the AC's I played. Although in ACOdyssey I've a bug were a door won't open (The Handmaiden's Story). But that's all..(for now?)

The last two are aberrations in how well they are done and how open world RPG they are. To me, they are as if Ubi decided to do TW3 tribute games after intense study of what made that one of the best of all time. And they really did a pretty good job of it!

They departed from most of the AC game lore and just concentrated on making huge, fun games.

@FordGT90Concept the Ubi remaster/Redux of AC3 is nearly here, and will include redone Liberation as well. Keeping my fingers crossed.

 

[FordGT90Concept]

Liberation was a fantastic game, bugs aside. I enjoyed it more than AC3 proper.

Liking Thimbleweed Park so far.

I did as well.

Are your Nvidia control panel settings at default for this game or globally? If not, do that. This game should run buttery smooth on a potato... What refresh rate? If its over 60hz you may want to give Fast Sync a whirl.

Playing some BSG Deadlock again...damn is it fun, I really get a kick out of this game.

I was holding out for this last patch and DLC before I hopped back in due to the announcement of changes coming down, some pretty cool stuff. Been about 6-7 months since I last played and it was a hoot back then, but I had enough other games to keep me entertained. The improvements are solid, I really enjoy the radio chatter, it adds that extra layer that was missing yet didn't feel as necessary until it was there. This game nails the BSG feel in pretty much every way, and is dripping with atmosphere. I love the tactical WEGO combat for space ship battles and is what I needed as the latest DLC for GC3 changed so much stuff and just isn't quite as fun right now so it was starting to feel like a slog.

BSG Deadlock feels fresh, exciting, and violent. Weapons sound and appear to have heft. The fighters are so much smarter now with the updates, they attack missiles like they should. Overall, very very happy with this purchase.

They added persistent damage which I think is pretty damn awesome. And frankly I gotta hand it to these devs, they really nailed it with this and I'm excited to see what Season 2 has to offer.

The latest DLC, Sins and Sacrifice just came out, it features new ships, new campaign, etc... https://store.steampowered.com/app/1001150/Battlestar_Galactica_Deadlock_Sin_and_Sacrifice/

Here's some screens I grabbed of the first couple missions in the original campaign I just started:
