What are you playing?

BACK! Almost forgot I was still here. November 5th received Usurpation of Fire ending in DARK SOULS III (Steam). Now it's NG+ and practically everything else I almost forgot. ELITE: DANGEROUS (Steam) is great still and even then I had a few month gap on it. Literally been over a year since I last played THE WITCHER III: Game of the Year (GOG) so I figured to play some on my current build instead of my laptop. Took some getting reacquainted with the controls. Both keyboard and mouse along with wired 360 controller.
Quite a backlog of games but I'm going on a rotation during this pandemic.

I think I got to the final boss in DMC3. And I heard "Sparda" way too many times along the way.

Vergil seems obsessed with power, but I never really saw why he wanted it. I suppose I'll learn about his ultimate goal at some point in either the end of DMC3 or in the following entries of the franchise.

I've been trying for a while but Vergil in this fight is really freaking difficult.

The instant before my defeat...

Also, the face this guy makes when he realizes he has lost everything, priceless. Who's laughing now, eh?! *shoves both middle fingers at him*

surprised to see how well it runs on my 750 ti after tweaking a few settings

Cyberpunk is less demanding at medium to high settings with less powerful GPUs than i was expecting.
I have an RX850 and the game is very smooth at medium preset.

And despite less than stellar FPS is still feels really smooth even if it dips.
 
Starlink (got it for free at Ubisoft), AC Vahalla (started over, I hope this time all the missions will run normally), and last but not least Satisfactory (also started over, cause better planning ;) )

Yeah. I drop to 35 FPS on rare occasions and even then, its playable. Consoley, but playable. There's just no frametime spike to be found. What I do see, is lots of assets getting LOD passes and even lighting layers being applied too late. Some of those even pretty close by. I think that is how the game compensates for performance dips.

I'm also playing Starlink, funny but I actually remember watching the trailer when it was new and wanted to play it but then I completely forgot about the game's existence so the free giveaway surprised me. :laugh:
Its pretty fun so far, looks decent and runs well.

In Witcher 1 I'm in mid Chapter 3, progressing but slowly. 'Also installed a quality of life mod so now I can mediate/use the storage anywhere cause the original way was just annoying to deal with'

Really? That's actually really cool! Screenshots look good. What are your framerates like?

One of the systems in my home has a GTX980, but I haven't tried it yet... Thinking I'm going to install it and have a go.

It's interesting. I've found 40-50 FPS to be perfectly playable in that game (which is good since that's all my GTX 1070 can do). Maybe it just has really good frametimes and no microstuttering.

My GTX 780 3GB and RX 460 4GB systems get around 30-40 FPS at low settings and around 1080p internal resolution (a bit lower on the RX 460).

Let us know how you get on!
In spite of the bugs, the game does seem well optimised for a range of different systems and settings.
 
Going to the Yule Festival in Valhalla.....

Also COld War CoD is free for about 6 days and I am enjoying it as much as it will allow me to

Continuing my adventure in Kingdom Come Deliverance. The world is so realistic. I'm not from Europe but a third world country living in the city. But my gramps' home is in the village so I have experience with rural life. Man it felt like I was playing a game based on my village. The forests. The idyllic lifestyle. People waking up and milling about at the break of dawn. Damn! Why didn't I play it sooner :twitch:
 
After buying far cry 1 to 3 in a steam sale bundle for very cheap prices, I have finally started playing them. Far cry 1 is done and far cry 2 is halfway done.

i actually enjoyed farcry 2, its not as bad as people say. farcry 3 and 4 are very good, and imo 5 is the best
 
just started crysis remastered, got a good deal with epic 40% off and thay gave me a coupon for £10 so cost me £6.99. the game runs well much better than the OG. Ive a old 1080 and got it on med setting and it looks stunning. its like a trip down memory lane .now wouldnt it be good if in a update thay let us play it in VR it would be the dogs dangly bits if thay did :) .

I still love that, imo it is still a fine game.
 
agreed, im going to up the settings later im sure my gpu will take a bit more. ive never stopped playing the OG with mods. i think the xbox game controller works much better with this remastered.
