What are you playing?

[Bow]

Just playing 2 right now.

 

[Keullo-e]

Finished the fifth episode at RE Revelations and like I said, the game feels just better after every minute I guess I still play the sixth one as I have few beers left.

still playing a bit of Point of Attack-2.. this game has so many options that setting the wrong things can adversely affect performance so ive been experimenting alot. i like this game/sim but ill need to talk to the developer and see if i can buy the more editable version so i can mod it. i have been tweaking the units a bit as to increase the number of fighting men but decreasing the units for good effect.. basically i made a platoon from a squad by increasing nthe numbern of men and equipment by 3.. made a squad to a company by increasing everything by 9..this seems to work pretty well.. so much so, im thinking about making an upscaled to&e for a few units

in any case.. thought i would play the "bad guys"..so i set up battalion 5 or 6 "companies" of islamic fighters and throw them against a reinforced ranger platoon with a few vehicles in support and a battalion of 155mm.. here is the 155mm effect as it slammed into my far left battlegroup.. .. i believe i called this battalion of fighters "Gods Will". yep.. took a pic of my battlegroup i had set up before hand.. battle took place at night.




after looking at the to&e of the battle.. i had a reinforced company this battle.. the one after, i had a battalion

Ace combat 7 , quite good.

Not me the game , it has a nice idealistic afterburner feel and tons to blow up.

I have sailed through it right upto mission 7 but surprisingly to me I need more misiles than 116 '/eek

Aaaand I finished the sixth one too. That's one hella great game so far

I bought it but haven't installed it yet. I think I am going to fire up TW3 actually as I have been reading the books and have the feeling.

 

[windwhirl]

Playing Resident Evil 2 again, this time doing the 2nd Story for both Leon and Claire.

Granted, I'm kinda doing this because I installed the mod for the "X gon' give it to ya" music, just for sh*ts and giggles

Logitech Extreme 3D Pro? Not a bad choice, I think.

Though, and take this with a grain of salt, since it may be just me, but I have to recalibrate it whenever I use it. Otherwise, the stick thinks it's slightly inclined in one direction or another.

Indeed it is, because playing Microsoft Flight Simulator with a keyboard, although not impossible, can get a bit fraught at times. I could also try it on GTAV and some other that involve flying, perhaps even Just Cause, if joysticks are supported in those games.

With No Man's Sky, I used Xbox 360 Controller Emulator so that the game would let me use the joystick. I legit don't know why I can't natively use a joystick for that game, at least for the parts where you fly your personal spacecraft. Using a normal gamepad is just really frustrating for me... Though I'm wondering if the joystick itself runs on the DirectInput API, with may be the reason why I can't actually use it if the game can't use that API.

PS: Playing FS with keyboard? You're a legend

 

[Drone]

What have you done, Snake?! lol MGS Portable Ops and Peace Walker are definitely the best games for PSP, they push system to the max just like SotC did for PS2 and Metroid Trilogy for Wii.

 

[entropy13]

Mostly Fallout 4, sometimes MTG: Arena and World of Tanks

Not even a new joystick would help if you forget to fill the tanks of a 747

I wanted to play that (loved it on the PS) but I could not get over unplayable cockpit view (for me).

I've been enjoying some good old STALKER fun. I decided to install the Faction War mod for Clear Sky and I've been playing that recently.

I went through with Duty - you can get decent armor and once you upgrade it enough it feels like you can sprint all day without stopping and waiting for stamina to regen. Getting around isn't too tough since you can almost constantly sprint as long as you're not carrying more than your max weight. Solid radiation/burn/electrical/acid resistance helps a lot for hunting anomalies.

I'm currently going through with the Defiance group right now. I took out the Clear Sky faction and Duty, working my way to wipe out the Bandits right now. Armor you can buy from Defiance isn't as good as what Duty offers. At least you can add 3 more belt spots to hold up to 5 anomalies you find or buy. They help offset some of the limitations of the armor (like mediocre radiation/burn/electrical protection the armor can give). Hard to hunt for anomalies if you can't survive the extreme areas they are found in. I do miss the stamina reduction from sprinting I had on my Duty play through....

The mod creator did a good job fixing up a lot of the faction war issues that were left unfinished/broken in the normal game. The faction war mod completely changes the game, too. You're not following the story line, you're goal is to just roam and be a loner, doing jobs for all that you come across or you join a faction and work on wiping out all other factions. It's entertaining, I've been enjoying it the past week or so. As soon as you join a faction, all other factions hate you except for Loners, unless you piss them off by killing them.

Can't you use in-game refueling? (mouse to top of screen) I know it breaks the simulation but it helps when you don't plan ahead. Anyway, I do like your landing skill

[MSFS2020] I found some mods

That’s a beautiful intact landing you must have made! Do the engines double as floaties?

a friend use two of them in tandem for Elite and SC

i love my Airrow (mainly for having the shape of a WWII stick that was commonly found on Me BF109 and Me 262 ) and it serve me well in Elite, a little less complicated than the X55 Rhino i had before

now i ponder if i take an ext throttle like either of those


or if i go full nuts and overboard and take a Warthog plus, out of patriotic feeling, the F/A-18C add on (Swiss patriotic feeling ... the F/A-18 is our main military plane)

buuuutttt the price is a rebuttal even tho it's one of my dreams ...

on the other hand the brand new "Airbus" H.O.T.A.S. is quite cheaper .... but a little too civil (well ... the advantage of the Airbus throttle over the TWCS one is the dual mode, my Rhino had the option too )
although the Airbus stick look quite like the T.1600M also from Thrustmaster that is aimed for space sim


as for what am i playing, it's call : "the waiting game ... " as i am downloading my next "what i will be playing later" i mentioned in the tech related purchase thread ...

61% .... soon soon ....

(well, that one remind me that i have found my original box of the collector edition or "The Battle for Middle-earth II" i bought looooooooong ago ... and thought i had lost when moving home ... )

iirc 2006 ahaha recommended RAM 256mb and vRAM 64mb

 

[biffzinker]

I used that one too but then I was gifted this:

That looks like it would be fun to play with.

 

[SN2716057]

That looks like it would be fun to play with.

It is. It's also plug-and-play and MSFS recognizes it without issues, which is neat. Not all buttons are mapped or are easily mapped so there is still room for improvement.
Pity it doesn't have force feedback or vibrations cause that would make it glorious.

Man, I do really like the (expensive) A-10 Warthog controller. But I rather invest in VR again. (no Oculus)

 

[GreiverBlade]

pop!


time for some hardened al[l]oy all the pun intended ... woops 12:54pm ... oh well day off, not caring ...

edit: first time i get a game with a long cinematic i couldn't skip before the title, in a looooooong time but the title screen is beautiful ...



the game trigger a heavy upgrade itche ....

benchmark 1620p noAA and 1440p noAA fps limit to 60


well i also got a warning about my video drivers oh, well time to do a 1st run.

feel smooth enough at 1440p (trying the photo mode .... ) gosh that game is a beauty .... no wonder it even made me consider getting a PS4 Pro ... but i am glad i did wait till PC release


also second game i run after Remnant, on my Crucial P1 in the Asus Arion not even running hot :38C that's cooler than the Gammix S11 which sit on the mobo slot with the stock heatsink at 43C

a bit further in (playing in story mode difficulty to get a "feel") aside a few weird freeze, that were somewhat related to my gamepad it seems or bluetooth maybe? no major issues


it was worth the wait ... *shiver* i couldn't stomach to get a PS4 Pro plus a Nacon REVOLUTION UNLIMITED PRO, both mentally and financially , since the Dualshock pads are the only gamepad that really hurt when i use them (mainly when you need to use the 2 analog stick ... for arcade and 2d platformer : somewhat fine )

almost bought that warthog controller but opted for the one i posted instead.. just too expensive for something i only mess with very rarely
