What are you playing?

Is it just me or does this look like Jason Momoa?
Yup. You can just upload a pic and the game scans and customizes the face of the characters. I've seen Thanoses and Squidwards in the game too.
 
Also... Jumped into ELEX. And yes... thank you for dragging me into this earlier. I'm sold. Yes, its clunky as hell, but these are some damn cool things to explore. Quest lines are cool, original, lots of choices to make and things to progress through. Interesting backstory and factions. Its yummy all over really and if you figure out the combo meter a bit, even combat isn't super annoying.

Already managed to bump into three companions that joined for the ride, Duras, Falk and this pale guy, my favorite so far for just being so blunt.
I'm glad to hear it worked out for you!

I beat Horizon awhile ago on PS4 but I finally got the Frozen Wilds dlc so I'll be playing that too. I hope it lets me keep my special armor.
On PC at least it's just a different area. You keep everything. You can even travel back and forth. You're not required to stay just in the Frozen Wilds.
 
Ubisoft+ is 1€/$/pound for 1 month, i'm going to try the new Watchdogs.
 
I finally managed to get Quake 4 running in 1440p by editing the config file and making it read only. An underrated game on my original CDs.

For HD resolutions, you have to do this with all the Quake engine games.
And to change to this in quake4config:
seta r_mode "-1"
To make sure the custom resolution sticks.
 
Been playing Psychonauts 2 for about two hours and so far it's ... great. It's Psychonauts, plain and simple. Not sure where the story is going so far but the gameplay is a joy.

That’s great to hear!! The first one was so good but not a sales success that it has to be the strong cult following that got the sequel made.
 
Cod warzone.

nice. I tried it once. it was alright, I didn't mind it, but it just wasn't for me overall. I'm focused on final fantasty XIV mmorpg at the moment. and probably until january of this year if i am honest with myself... :roll:

I play it now and then, but neither cod or Battle Royale are my thing. I prefer BF4 for online shooty shoots, and single player RPGs like Morrowind, Tyranny, Witcher 3. I dabble in MMORPGs, since before wow, but none ever grabbed me. Been interested in trying ESO and FFXIV though.

I mean FFXIV is free to play to level 60 and includes the first expansion for free, its literally hundreds of hours you can play for free. and they revamped the campaign so it doesn't take forever to finish it. honestly give FFXIV free edition a go, its a great deal.

even if you just make it to the level 20 Ifrit fight 4 man boss fight, and then quit. thats worth it for being free. (its fun as heck that fight is and great music during that fight too)
 
So a few more hours into Psychonauts 2 and yes. Greatness. The controls though (mouse + keyboard) are a bit ... off, maybe? I was sliding along some rails and when hopping between rails Raz sometimes instead of doing a quick hop to the one to the left did a long jump to his doom, and it felt completely random. I don't remember having this problem with the first game, but it's enough that it feels like the controls are a bit of a problem to be honest.

But anyway, welcome to the murderzone. (if you've played any of the games you know why)

The graphics are pretty interesting. They're not really better than in the original game. Well, clearly they are, but it doesn't feel like it. It's because of the style of course. I'm tempted to launch the first one and do a comparision. It was one of the reasons the first one held up so well; it had a style that made it look alright a decade on. Sorta like Tron 2.0. Plus it was so original; I've never played, or even heard of, anything quite like it, and this game tickles all of the same spots.

And another thing is that gliding is a bit weird. It just stops when I don't want it to. It may be a feature of some kind, so that when the game determines it's not necessary to use it (or for when you won't make that distance) you just drop, but it's definitely annoying. Just gliding around the scenery and *pop*, nope, dropping instead, while I have the button pressed.

Ok so yeah I think it's a case of the game deciding I've reached my floating destination (or it determines I can't do it) and so I'm just dropped. That is ... not good. It's not an open world game as such, but it's still annoying.

Another thing: there are some subtle hints that Tim Schafer is an older fellow. It's hilarious.

I clearly recall the same glitches being present in the original. Glad they made Psychonauts 2 a true sequel :oops:
I really enjoyed the game, but the k+m controls did get on my nerves at times. Not game breaking, but some sequences took about a dozen tries to execute properly.
 
I got a 3060ti... and all I've been playing is football manager :laugh:

that is what happened to me when i had my rx 6800, all I was doing was playing indie games and such, and I was like wth... might as well just go back to my gtx 1070 and sell the other. so eh. i don't regret it. I am playing Blasphemous at the moment when I need a break from FFXIV, its a pretty fun indie game.
 
Finally started my Horizon Zero Dawn journey with the new card. 'Wanted to play this game since it was relased on PC but my RX 570 wasn't up to the task at my native resolution'

This will keep my busy for a good while since I don't rush such games. :) 'meanwhile waiting for Lost Ark relase'

Also finished Tell Me Why.
I can see that it might no be everyone's cup of tea but I had my fun with it and found it interesting in its own way, I'm a fairly open minded person so I had no issues with the game's design/story and whatnot.

Yup also happened to me in the past and it made me feel like I wasted my money and also not using my hardware's resources since even after upgrading all I did is play the same easy to run games.
Then my upgraded GPU 'GTX 560 Ti when it was decent' even died on me at the time so it was a total waste, after that I downgraded back to what I actually needed for my games until I started playing more demanding games.

So nowadays I only upgrade when I actually have a reason for it and games to play/use with.
Otherwise I don't mind using whatever I already have. 'Thats how my RX 570 lasted me ~3 years'
 
I've been playing wolfenstein the new order alot lately. I've had it for a few years, never played it until now. I have 6hrs into it.

I bought my RTX2060 for about €300 and that game was so good I considered it a good purchase solely based on that game. After about 40 hours I realize the game wasn't as good as I thought but it took me that many hours to realize it, which really is an accomplishment.

Wolfenstein is a fun/good game imo.
Finished New Order and Old Blood 2 times already and even finished YoungBlood. 'tbh its not as bad as ppl make it sound like'

Well my 570 was really aging on me especially since I upgraded to a 21:9 2560x1080 Ultrawide in 2019, new games were starting to become an issue to the point of simply running out of Vram along with performance.
I don't need crazy high fps or anything but some upgrade was needed and since I refuse to pay the crazy prices one the new gen cards or even prev gen I went for a second hand GTX 1070 thats just about right for my current needs.
So far I'm more than satisfied with it even if I paid a bit more than I was comfortable with but oh well its still better than the new card prices:laugh:. 'at least this much performance I can make use of w/o wasting it'

I'm planning to finish HZD, most likely it will take me a long time but thats all fine with me. 'I'm not really critical about games as long as I have fun in my way and no game breaking issues happen'
