What are you playing?

[jaggerwild]

Been playing "Dead by Daylight", not sure where I heard about(probably here). Got it for $9 American and I know there is a shit ton of expansions for it, but the basic game is pretty cool. At first I was good at fixing the engines to get out, but I've played a few rounds it just gets hard and harder. Plus I still have to leave to use stuff etc.

I took a break from Dying Lite level 48, kinda board but want to see how far that rabbit hole goes. Sorry no picture's as I still can't figure out how to post them lolz.

I just got my ass kicked in The Division dark zone extraction point for the first time, losing all the kit I had picked up - you have to have it lifted out by chopper first for decontamination.
...shuffles back to the drawing board for more powerful weapons. Great game either way.

I play the crap out of Dead By Daylight, almost 500 hours. Rank 1 killer, rank 8 survivor. If you need help learning the game or want to play together, hit me up. And you have no idea how difficult and frustrating that game can be until you hit red ranks as a killer. It's maddening.

I love the inventory, crafting and praxis system in Deus Ex MD. It's simple and extremely easy to use, but the tricky part is deciding what to upgrade first.
And, going from the original Deus Ex, although the new gameses are better in many ways, they don't detract at all from how brilliant the first game was, even by today's standards.

Nearly 174 hours later, I finally finished AC Odyssey. Level 85, 7252 kills, 2460 assassination. Stealth gameplay is pretty sweet after getting the double damage spear.
Good game, if a bit too long for my personal taste. The "present day" scenes in AC are still torture.

Don't wanna commit to the next grand adventure just yet, so I'll probably have some fun with smaller titles for a week or so.

Final Fantasy XIII (PS3)

I've played this hundreds of hours on X360 and PC but I wanted to get this on PS3 too as I like collecting achievements (I call PS trophies also as achievements). Though now I'm just grinding so I can do sidequests as some of those are hard as hell. What sucks that I had over 200h save on X360 and I was missing only one achievement and I don't have that save anymore..

Thanks to @Splinterdog, I'm playing Mad Max again.

 

[Splinterdog]

Just started Star Wars Battlefront II which was free on Epic and I'm blown away by how good it looks. It's practically photorealistic and performance on Ultra on my system at least, never drops much below 100fps.
I'm playing the single player campaign and although I'm not much of a Star Wars fan, it's a lot of fun, if I can drag myself away from oggling the scenery. Not may games have that effect on me, apart from maybe, Crysis.

Busy weekend , finished Yakuza Like a Dragon and The Medium,
started Mafia remake, quite entertaining so far, just story mission after story mission, feels like the old pre Ubisoft formula days

It's fab, just finished the Definitive Edition too, looks pretty as well.... but that is enough about me.

Started Wild Arms 5 on pcsx2 yesterday. Fun game, although the combat system takes a bit of getting used to.

70 hours into Horizon Zero Dawn, first playthrough on normal and i'm having a blast, what a great game.
I hope Ultra Hard difficulty would live up to its name.

 

[kapone32]

I finished the Wood elves Twisted and Twilight DLC Campaign. I started an Amazon campaign in Troy (it going to take some getting used to). I thought the combat system could not be more fun than Horizon Zero Dawn but the other day I loaded up Hellblade SS and the combat system in that game is smooth as butter (it is satisfying kicking something). Everspace 2 is on early access but I have a mission that my ship has limited capability with units that have sniper capabilities and can dogfight with missles. I want to play Avengers but they need to give us better characters soon because that DC Open world game looks pretty interesting. We need Black Panther, Vision and Antman (with their own campaigns).

Thanks to @Splinterdog, I'm playing Mad Max again.

Almost went back to the game too but promised myself I would finish Quake2 GZ before moving to another game.

Gonna repeat ... Mad Max may be the most under-rated ever. The best $3.49 I've ever spent on a game. Thunderpoon rules! Speed Demon death run gave me far too much trouble until I switched from KBM to Xbox controller.

Things get serious when you acquire the Pink Teddy.

More Co-op Gears 5, since they gave it away at 5$ in December.
The more I play Gears, the more i find out nasty things about this world they created.

The Birthing Creche was a program established by the Coalition of Ordered Governments to put members of the female populace into a series of breeding "farms",[1][2] facilities where they’d be impregnated in order to repopulate the Human race. - if watch those cutscenes it's gonna change your entire perspective on this game forever. Damon Baird, one of the guys in Gears 2 was never the same again after discovering the Brithing Creche when trying to save his best friend.
----------------------

And since this year Witcher 3 Remake should come with ray tracing and all that jaz - I needed the saves with all the decisions + a story reminder so I got Witcher 2 (this time on Steam) and replaying it.
The performance is worse than Cyberpunk A game that is 10 years old at ultra it holds between 70-125 fps. And yeah, you NEEED UbserSampling OFF. With that On, I get 5 FPS - or a max of 34.

Can I see a difference with UberSampling ON or not? YES, I can definitely see it. It is very very noticeable. But 5 FPS???? Like no joke 5FPS...depending on the scene, and when holding still like a max 34 WTF!!

Did I mention that the game really looks bad(even with UberSampling)...like bad. Maybe back in the days was something. Not anymore.

Before venturing into Hitman 3 ($12 on Epic) I had another look at Hitman 2, sneaked around , killed the target and before escaping, decided to cause mayhem.
So many ways to play Hitman which gives it replayability and it looks great on my new LG 32"

RPG for life! Especially the ones which tell of ancient stories like the Elder Scrolls and the Witcher universe. But I'm willing to give StarField a shot. We'll see what Bethesda has in mind in due time.

I nearly forgot Il Mentore, Ezio Auditore da Firenze.

It supersampling, ofc it wont run four times your 1440p res well on a 5700xt. That's what you're doing with supersampling, it's a 4 to 1 downscale.

I suspect 14.7m pixels might be a bit much vs 3.69m

I've also finished Witcher 2 very recently.

I went the modding route and installed an AI upscaled texture mod and Requiem ENB from Nexus.

Those made the game look quite a bit better in my opinion and still managed to have a less performance hit than Ubersampling on my 2560x1080 res.
Also used Witcher 2 tweaker where I set some settings higher.

A few examples, shadows can be still pretty meh 'I mean grainy looking' but thats just how it is with the engine apparently and I couldn't fix it:
Click for full size.

Looks like activision finally started to clean up in Warzone:

Call of Duty: Warzone 'enhances' its anti-cheat software

Publisher Activision has banned more than 60,000 accounts in one day for cheating on the video game.

I guess I should call it the masochist winter....
Right after clocking 150 hours in Cyberpunk and finishing Doom Eternal: The Ancient Gods on UV, I moved on to Mass Effect: Andromeda...
After a gazillion patches I thought at least some things will get fixed, but besides a few touch-ups in ~30% of story-related animations it's still full of glass-eyed dummies.
I was cringing so much yesterday, my face is tired....

 

[Splinterdog]

Thanks to @lexluthermiester suggestion, I reinstalled with Return To Castle Wolfenstein and added the Real mod. Never really ages, this game.
A hot meal:

I was similarly bedazzled by the foliage maps and that map with Luke in it. The 3rd/1st person toggle is incredible in this game. Too bad, it resembles too much of BF1 because they are the same engine and probably re-used quite a bit of the texture and base model assets.
