Waiting for Dishonored 2, so passing the time replaying Mirror's Edge and replaying Dead Island in the form of Dead Island Definitive Edition.

I realized, going back to it now, Techland vastly improved on everything in order to do Dying Light. Combat, vehicles, movement controls, it all just works better in Dying Light. Still, I'm enjoying some of the improved visuals in DIDE.

Must you always play new games so quick that it makes me feel somewhat sad? :cry:
Haha, just kidding around. I'll pick up games that interest me when they go cheap. In the meantime, I might as well clear my backlog.

:laugh: No, not always. Backlog is what I'm working on, and I won't be playing Dishonored 2 right when it comes out. I have a couple other backlogs also after DIDE and Mirror's Edge, although technically they are replays. :D

Tried Bioshock Remastered tonight. First impression, it's very similar to Bioshock Infinite (originally the other way around) but with more creepy atmosphere and much darker. I've never played the original but I'm guessing that this is as much remastered as Fable Anniversary to the original Fable (or Fable TLC). There's very few image quality settings given (20GB though and it's not really visually impressive) but at least it runs smooth on my GTX 660, and controls are pretty good too. I may finish this because the game pace is fast and satisfying and I need to change gears after some slower adventure and role playing games.



i have never played bioshock infitnte, still finishing bioshock 2, then decided to give a shot to the remastered version of the 1st game, liked a lot too!

replaying Dead Island in the form of Dead Island Definitive Edition.

Never liked Dead island. It's a bad game. Focused around huge amount of farming. I played it with a friend in coop, expecting to be the most amazing coop ever. It was the very worst. 2 hours to get a decent weapon so after killing 10 zombies to have it broken. The farming was just non stop.

I wouldn't say bad, I'm enjoying myself again. It does definitely feel like it was the testing ground for the making of Dying Light. Thankfully they learned those lessons well. :)

I'm playing ... Alien Isolation again. this game is so fantastic, can never get enough. It's been a few months since I last played so the levels have proved to be a challenge in areas.

Still playing Samurai Warriors 3 (90 hours and counting) and haven't even completed 30% of the main campaign lol. It's amazing that all characters and events are real and happened in history of Japan.



Playing as Hanzo Hattori is really awesome, probably one of the badass and kickass characters ever.

I'm playing through Witcher 3: Blood and Wine. I got to say, the refinement on this DLC is lower than the rest of the game. I've found numerous bridges where there's invisible walls Roach can't cross. I've also encountered invisible walls in boss fight areas that resulted in me getting hit instead of dodging.

A lot of the issues I had with the game before still aren't resolved too that require restarting the game and some mechanics (like swimming) that were substandard are still substandard.

She is the most refined character of the game so far


She would make a fine mother


Unfortunately he's a horrible liar


The kid doesn't believe her for a second


Yes, that is a botchling...and i got killed 2 times doing this quest


Discovering new things about my masculinity



The ladies of the wood,are not real ladies....and if your equipment is broken, things are not looking to good for you


The npc don't really help, had to take him down all by myself....


Witcher 3 has the very best visuals i have ever seen in a game. No skyrim mods can ever beat it. With skyrim mods you get precision and eye candy, with Witcher you get an amazing sense of immersion (your in that forest, the wind is actually blowing....your in that room, your in that place). Hard to explain it.
The soundtrack is fantastic, so is the voice acting. It has the best overall voice acting in all of the games i've played. Sad to say, it beats Mas Effect. And after playing Witcher 1&2 i finally understand Geralt's voice . He's supposed to be this way... without so much feeling. He's detached...it's actually very cool once you figure it out.

This is a completely different story, but i think as far as story telling Bioware with Mass Effect does a better job. I got very much attached with the characters in ME, in Witcher i don't really care about anyone. And that's not a good thing.
As for the GOTY Witcher 3 ,it's full of bugs. The worst is the one where if your idle for a long time..maybe 15 minutes,the game will crash. Happens if you press esc or if your in game and there is stuff happening around you in real time. Other than this, invisible walls, horse get's stuck in all kinds of positions etc... Nothing will stop you from playing the game. This is still a masterpiece. I just wanted more missions, more lore. Much more lore. and 3 times a bigger map. The map is just not big enough. Crazy, right ? Considering, if you have a job, friends etc (real life) you will probably play this for about a month. And there is so much to discover. You can always take a boat ride, hold down the right mouse button (witcher sense) and explore everything underneath the water!

There is little to absolutely no decision making. Sure i bet there's a few different endings,depending how you choose along the way. I got very disappointed with Skyrim. After completing the game, the world around me (npc wise) treated me as f i was fresh off the wagon lvl 1. Hopefully this isn't Elder Scrolls.

Software Mostly games - Steam all block busters. VLC. F@H, Various Benches (Fires trike adv etc.)
Benchmark Scores Currently testing and tweaking.
Also playing BIOSHOCK REMASTERED. I played the original around 9 years ago. Memory is often rosy, and first time of course I compared with other games at the time.
With that in mind, I would still say that the graphics of the remastered version are a bit of a let down. Yes, they are better, but nothing special compared to other current games.

It most certainly is not "9 years better." I guess making it "9 years better," would require a full rewrite with a new engine and adding DX12? The original was DX9, but this re-mastered
one, I'm not sure to be honest. Maybe DX 11? Guess not, the same could be achieved with maximizing DX9 IMHO?

Any thoughts? Anyone know if this game is just a polished DX9 version, or DX11? I'm not totally sure how to check that. (My best guess is it's still DX9) - let me know if I am wrong! Gently please! :fear:

Oh, also playing Doom 4 new Arcade free DLC. Now that is a fast fun good looking game. Needs a beefy system to run it to full potential though!
A lot of people on the Steam forums complain about all sorts of problems, from simple freeze or CTD, to wiping their PCs and wrecking their OS. :eek: Pretty hilarious, fun reading. Wiping their disks." :laugh::laugh: Priceless. Obviously clueless about the most basic things, gaming PC.

Accept for 2 x CTDs just after release, the game runs perfectly, in both Vulkan and Open GL. I've put about 100 hours into it in total so that's pretty stable, well except for two CTDs right after launch. Now it's good solid and reliable. I reckon at lot of those on steam forums should stick to consoles.

I just started a small Indie Norwegian game called Through the Woods, which I got through GOG. Yes, it's walking and horror-themed, and it is BEAUTIFUL! So far it is fun too, and just finished the female protagonist's son being abducted...Weird stuff going on! You then spend the game facing down the horrors of legend in the forests of western Norway.









Be aware, system requirements are rather steep. It seems to be well optimized, as I maintained 59.9 to 60 fps with 2 drops to 57/58. The recommended setup is a 3.5GHz i5 and a GTX 980 or equivalent. My 980Ti ran at around 61 to 64 with fan running at 70% to keep it there.

@rtwjunkie I would really like to give this a try. post back to tell us if Through the Woods is that good please
in the meantime things are getting very gruesome with Witcher 3
Carnal Sins is by far the most scary quest in Wither series so far

On the more romantic side Geralt and Yennefer are having a great time



More wisdom from the beautiful Yennefer


This would make for a fine wallpaper, to back for the in-game UI

Agreed but I stuck with her because that's the way the books go. I'm replaying the game now to get the three achievements I missed and definitely changing that to Triss on this round.

So you also played Witcher 3 ?
I just saved,and ready to go to bed for tonight. Left off where i had the option to say "I love you" to Triss. I didn't. Just told her i miss her. Don't know what might have happen if i chose that dialog line.

I just started a small Indie Norwegian game called Through the Woods, which I got through GOG. Yes, it's walking and horror-themed, and it is BEAUTIFUL! So far it is fun too, and just finished the female protagonist's son being abducted...Weird stuff going on! You then spend the game facing down the horrors of legend in the forests of western Norway.









Be aware, system requirements are rather steep. It seems to be well optimized, as I maintained 59.9 to 60 fps with 2 drops to 57/58. The recommended setup is a 3.5GHz i5 and a GTX 980 or equivalent. My 980Ti ran at around 61 to 64 with fan running at 70% to keep it there.

That looks like I need to try it!
