What are you playing?

Alan Wake was pretty innovative for its time. Design and good looking environment made linear levels look non-linear, and story is top notch.
Unfortunately enemies ("taken" or whatever they're called) are extremely retarded which made game much less scary and kinda boring.
If only this game had Silent Hill Downpour enemy AI then Alan Wake could've been one of the best horror games of that era.
 
I've been playing GTA V and Just Cause 3&4 with the x360ce emulator and the joystick works very well, most of the time. I just need to fine tune the configuration of the controller buttons to the joystick and I'll be a proper fighter pilot!

Do you play with mods in GTA5? To remove the turbulence when flying?

vanity shots ... (reminder, i still play in 1620p60 noAA medium details ) ***catch the sun***

yeah, feel good ... all HZD missed was a PC release ... it would have been a shame to keep that gem on PS4 only ...


i encountered no issues (aside a couple of slowdown but nothing heavy, just the kind that keep triggering upgrades itches as i mentioned previously) lipsync is fine (for at least up to 4hrs indeed, thus not an issue .... i rarely play more than 3-4hrs of it per session ).

Any landing that you can walk/crawl away from is a good landing ;)
As I have learned from MFS 2020. Each time I land in one piece, no matter how bumpy it was, I breath a sigh of relief.
 
Finished the Control DLC...it'll be interesting how Alan Wake and Control with mesh together in Alan Wake's next game.

Trying to mod GTA 5. None of the ped mods are working i've installed with OpenIV. Now that i've got a stable GTA running...it would be the case i can't mod the dang thing. I got the billboard mod working but nothing since then.

Make sure all the plugins are up-2-date (like scripthook & scripthookV). I gotta say I have issues with certain mods too. Lively World, Mixed Police, Cops back on the beat, open interiors, and trigger happy all work yet Global Invest and Gangs of Los Santos don't. :(
 
Finished 7th and 8th episode of RE Revelations. Just a cigarette break and I'll continue on. :toast:

e: finished 9th episode too :)

My stepson has just finished RE7 in 8 hours and it sounded pretty ghastly from what he was saying. I can do zombies, but not wasps and other stuff coming out of people etc etc.
I might have to pass on that one.
--scared face--
 
EP10 complete in RE Revelations. Still it just keeps getting better and better! :D

I'm afraid to google wth a ped mod is.
 
So I'm trying out Wasteland 3 on game pass and it feels pretty much the same as WL2 just in a snowy environment.
And also did some flying and crashing in MSFS2020.

The F/A-18 handles horrible, no afterburners, no working MFD's but it's the version from FSX. And it's still early.

The P-51 Mustang flies a tad bit better, it's also an import from FSX. Throttle control doesn't work and using the vertical stabilizer results in an unrecoverable spin.

Yes, it's a shame about the FA-18 because I usually start it in the sky due to problems with the undercarriage and sometimes none of the controls work so it's Kamikaze time!

Thank's Bender for mentioning of the turbulence mod. Flying is a pleasure now instead of a butt clenching affair. Mods as such are working fine in GTA5...i still having ped probs though. I used to excel at mixing up the peds before anybody else was doing it when the game first came out. Back then you could only unpack the file, change then repack it...i'll get it sooner or later.
 
Welp, I tried to play Iron Harvest. I actually joined on the kickstarter a bit over 2 years ago, because it looked promising. Devs kept backers frequently updated, etc. So it releases the other day, I get my key from them for GOG...and it does not go beyond the Main Menu. :wtf: No campaign, no profile, nothing.

Well, I did get to watch the credits, and see my name as a backer. :rolleyes: Personally, I would rather play.

Just bitching because that's what I wanted to and tried to play. I already put a ticket in with GOG and KingArt. A number of people have the issue.

I say stay away from it for awhile.

Been playin Dual Universe the last year since Alpha 2. Just hit closed Beta last week. Needs a lot of work still but concept is AMAZING! Tutorials are kinda bugged and starting zones are extremely laggy but once away from there, game runs ok. No NPCs, markets are player run and ships are built from scratch. Kind of a mix of EVE, Elite, EQ:Landmark and Star Citizen all in one. The voxel system is really cool and a WiP. You can also use Lua to script numerous things in a Programming Board or cockpit/command seat for external screens or widgets for the cockpit HUD. Games subscription based but I do have 7 Beta keys to play free for the year. Also, this is my mining ship I've built. All voxels are hand crafted/shaped.

LOL - that reminds me of F117A Stealth Fighter 2.0 + Falcon 4.0 by Micropose from the 1990's that I still have.

Wonder if they would still work under window 10 ???
 
DOTA 2 for the last 4 months after a 3+ year break.
I am pretty damn good with Doom, Shadow Fiend and Shadow Demon (my favourite heroes at the moment).
I love this game even though it is loosing its player base.
Also I play Metro 2033 every now and again.

I've been looking for a good new game and it's been a long while since i've played a RTS game with a good story. Keep us posted if you get it up and running....
