TOW 2 launch

 

[Kapone33]

I haven't, though the book has been on my Amazon wishlist for awhile. I guess now would be a good time to snag it!

If you have read the previous novels it is a disservice not to have completed the series. It is rather good across 2 volumes and closes most of the plot lines well.

1st time i ever hit a tank and it blew up like this

 

[Argentrx]

using an rx 570 4gb with a ryzen 2600 .... what card could i get 100% gains on to play at 1080p for doom eternal ie a gpu upgrade ? is a 5700xt overkill or just right for setting everything at ultra nightmare and getting minimum 100fps all the way ? or would a lower grade card do that?

I keep playing Serious Sam 4. Things I'm loving right now, besides the gun variety, all the jokes and the banter, and the large number of enemies that I can fight?

The support characters. Specially Nonna, who doesn't love a granny that has no problem pulling out a minigun or rocket launcher to deal with alien invaders?


The vehicles!


And one thing I didn't expect but now I can't live without:

Dual-wielding miniguns!!

DOOM Eternal Benchmark Test & Performance Analysis - 26 Graphics Cards Compared

DOOM Eternal is the long-awaited sequel to the epic DOOM series. There's even more carnage, and gameplay is super fast-paced. Built upon the id Tech 7 engine, visuals are excellent, and graphics performance is outstanding. We tested the game on all modern graphics cards at Full HD, 1440p and 4K...

www.techpowerup.com

TPU tested Doom Eternal a few months ago. You can find the average FPS obtained by a number of graphics cards listed there, all tested at Ultra Nightmare settings.

Piece of advice: It is better to open a new thread to ask about upgrades rather than post in this one, since your question is off topic and that's kinda against forum guidelines. And also, do fill your system specs page. It will make things easier if you decide to open that upgrade thread...

Oh dear, something seems to have gone terribly wrong.

The 5600XT would be the sweet spot but a 5700 would make you smile.

I thought id ask, along side mentioning what i play too but i'll open another thread the next time i wish to query something. thank you for your feedback

Finished a couple, started a couple more.

Far Cry New Dawn is done, and I gotta say, it's incredible how exactly the same the game is compared to the last FC that I played, and that's #3
I felt like playing and expansion to FC3 rather than a completely "different" game released 6+ years later.
Some of the stuff was enjoyable, the gunplay is ok, but through the entirety of the game I felt kinda meh... been there, done that...
I know Ubi games tend to have very little in terms of gameplay innovations, but damn, this takes the cake.

And while we're on the topic of Ubisoft, I finished Watch dogs 1 and I wasn't particularly impressed. Characters are boring and generic, story is there just for the sake of it, gameplay is ok but nothing makes it "pop", and cars felt horrible. So after I finished it, I started WD2 and immediately the game grabs you in a way. I haven't played too much but in the first 3 or 4 hours I had more fun than in the entirety of the first game.
The only thing that kinda grinds my gears (for both 1 and 2) is the amount of thing you can (and need) to press on the keyboard, the prompts, the actions to perform. Makes the games cluttered imo both visually and mechanically.

Metro Exodus. Now this one is a banger. Probably my favorite in the series. The small open world areas were really well made and are more fun to play than for example Far Cry, with a massive single piece of land where you get sidetracked all the time. This has to be for me one of the better non linear level designs in FPS games ever.
Finished main story with a good ending. Finished both dlcs and found both to be enjoyable. It's a nice contrast when you play main story and Sam's DLC with this new level design, and then play 2 Colonels with level design straight outta 1 and LL. The only thing I kinda disliked, and this can very well be to my system, is the constant film grain effect the game has.

Hades.
Just started this the day before yesterday, and already I'm hooked. Probably sunk in 12+ hours by now. Made it to the Elysium boss(es) twice, but got obliterated on the first attempt and actually did ok on the second, but alas... the freaking minotaur got me with his continuous charged attack.
Music is great, combat is crisp, characters are top notch. Also art style is perfect for something like this.

Shadow of the TR. Made to the point were you reunite with Jonah after the plane crash. The game... is just like the first two in this series. Doesn't look like anything new was added in terms of gameplay, but hey at least the game looks amazing, even on low end hardware like mine. I always enjoyed these new TR games, so this one is no exception but it really suffers from the same stuff Far Cry does. At least in it's defense there are only 3 games in the series and no more will be made as far as I understood.

 

[Brandenburg]

started playing this again.. just the 1st turn so far. played in many hours before but not in several years.. this game is an endurance test. looks like my 1st turn did pretty good..lets see how many divisions i can liquidate in the next 3 or 4 turns though.. each turn is a week.. german unit is division/brigade or in some cases independent regiment/battalion.most divisions can be broken down to their component regiments.. usually 3 reg per division. not sure if the russians can break down like that but they get to build fresh units while the germans cant. i try not break a unit down unless its an emergency though

war in the east.

That’s up in the air actually. They haven’t formally expressed anything about not making more, and there is no restriction on sticking with 3 games. They have only said that most assets that would go to TR will be used for the Marvell universe for awhile.

I haven't had the chance to play this yet but it really does look epic! Takes me back to playing North & South on DOS back in the early 90s

Pokemon Sword and Shield! Only on nintendo switch, badum tsss.

 

[metalfiber]

Finished The Dungeon of Naheulbeuk. It was good game that had hard and long battles.

Play'n GTA 4 now. They have made it where it's very hard to mod. Rockstar will update the game and take all the mods out almost every time you start it up. I've learned how to get past it by once it updates go offline and then replace the files back with the modded file...it's a real P.I.T.A. I'm going to research to see if they ain't better way. I'll be glad when November gets here...three or so games come out that will equal about six months worth of gaming.

or the excellent dos game War in Russia which was also made by Gary Grigsby.. its indeed epic in scope, accuracy and in the.. price tag ..occasionally its on sale though. i love military games but since they are a nitche market, they can be a bit pricey

1st time i ever hit a tank and it blew up like this
View attachment 170918

ammo rack cook off (and if it's a Abrams : blast doors on top of turret where the ready rack is, purpose of blowing upward instead of "clean head off" with explosion inside the tank )


continuing in Genshin Impact ... is it really a mobile game with a desktop app ... or is it a fully fledged single player RPG sleep hitter with a mobile app (playing on mobile is a PITA so i tend to agree with the second)

still no $$$ involved 5th Gacha pull yielded me my first 5* a nice burst DPS, imediately max leveled him and crafted a 4* 2h sword (which was also max leveled on the spot )


and i am still amazed how big and beautiful the maps and environments are ...


uh? what's up there? (an interesting puzzle later, quite simple but a lot of flying )

a floating "resting place" with 3 nice chest and a book describing the story of that floating mass of rocks

achievement for reaching it


the second city on the second map Liyue

was a T72 I hit and these use an auto-loader with ammo on a carposell in the crew compartment.. this system has a high probability of ammo cooking off if they take a hit in the side.. reason, you see so many t72's without a turret in iraq. just never seen one brew like that though. unlike an m1. this was a definite catastrophic hit and all crew are kia

actual video of the target practice.. tank in question is at the 1:15 to ~1:30 mark

well the T72 cook off usually result in a "clean head off" and crew death, indeed, unlike the M1
although the silhouette is a bit unclear thus due to the blowtop i wondered if it was a M1 ready rack blast door going off (but second look at the back of the hull... yeah, clearly not a M1 )

thanks for precision

edit: t 72's

Spoiler: clean off due to, iirc, a TOW 2B (BGM-71F)

Spoiler: vertical cook off alike the one you show hit by a RPG29 Vampir

both case, the crew would be KIA indeed.

ive seen a few ww2 tanks in docs do the same thing too.. its rare but it does happen

 

[Space Lynx]

I have been binge playing starcraft 2 co-op, Blizzard released some prestige modes for co-op mode, its been pretty fun. Tychus and Nova cost me $5 each, but I have been having a blast.

Nice! Saw your faeries. Pretty neat!

I'm kinda destroying the standard meta with this decklist, Platinum rank within a day Worth a shot. Kinda goes 'under' Omnath and just gives you a shitload of Scute Swarms to play with. Mutated - into Greathorns or Gemrazers. Rogue mill and aggro decks don't really get to beat it much, only control is annoying. Omnath always gets met with Rebuke and its ramp with any other burn.

Even built this deck IRL just now actually, its thát good

What you're not seeing is 4x Fabled Passage, 2x Evolving Wilds (optional)

Curve is pretty cool I think... turn 1 Goose, turn 2 Cultivate > 3 land, turn 3 any removal, Questing Beast, a mutate on goose or more land... and turn 4 possibly Scute Swarm > land drop 6 > Migratory Greathorn > land drop 7 = 4 Scute Swarms, of which 2x 3/4 And that doubles every next land drop, of course.

I am starting The Uncertain: The Light At The End, which is the 2nd in a 3 part series.

I followed that for awhile, was in development forever so I gave up on it. If the third part ever makes it out I might give it a try.
