I thought i'd catch up on anything Life is Strange related since the 3rd one is coming out later this year.

Before the Storm is not near is good as the first. Now i forgot what happened to R.A. in the first one...so i guess i'll play it again.

Hell naw I just recently played the series and I already miss it, love those games.

'LiS 1 is my fav with Max'

Next one will be a first day buy for me even tho I rarely do that. 'like once a year'

I just played through 2010's PC version of Aliens vs Predator, all 3 characters: Marine, Alien, and Predator. Nostalgic.

It's time to start playing games I forgot that I had, including AC Unity which was free during the Notre Dame fire. Others include AC II, III and China which I haven't even installed yet and don't remember how they got into my library. And let's not even talk about the games in Epic...
I've not really played much AC, but it's obvious that they're classy games.

I hope it comes out as one game and not 5 parts...if it comes out in parts i'll wait till they are all released to play.

I actually really liked Unity, especially for all the parts of Paris during the Revolution.

Chloe's my girl as someone may guess from the nickname..

Haven't played those in some time so maybe I'll install those on my second rig and play from TV. LiS2 sucks tho when compared to 1 and BtS. And it's hella demanding, even 980 Ti couldn't keep a stable 60fps.

Just an amazing game. Best game that i have played in a long time.

I could have sworn that Ubisoft made Unity free for a limited time on a world wide basis, due to the fire.

Started Dragon Quest XI's 3rd chapter last weekend. Really enjoying the game so far, in part thanks to the sped up battles. I don't think I could bear to play at normal speed now. :laugh:

AC2 and China were offered for free at some point, AC3 you may have gotten with the Odyssey DLC if it's the remaster? At least that's how I got those.

I haven't played for a bunch of weeks, but I'm thinking about doing a proper writeup. The short version will be something like "not very deep but it's great at distracting you from that fact".

I have determined that in my old age, gaming priorities have come to this:. Story is tops. Graphics and gameplay duke it out for 2 and 3. I can't say which is more important because each one can ruin the experience if poor enough.

If you mean deep as in customization (classes, skills, perks and appearance), that doesn't even hit my radar unless it is atrocious.

I'm waiting to be able to buy an affordable mid range-ish card so that I can play the game properly. 'so next year maybe?'
Apparently 2560x1080 and 4GB Vram on AMD cards does not compute with this game, still has some very low res glitchy textures and it ruins the whole look of the game at some places so I rather not play it like that. :shadedshu:

'Was hoping for a fix but nope, updated GoG version still has it'

Tried various fixes posted by ppl but nothing helps, settings doesn't matter either it happens even on Low.
My bro's GTX 970 does not have this issue @same res and settings.

You could also wait for the remastered versions that come with LiS 3 I think, tho these games look just fine as it is but I'm not sure how much different the remasters will be.
And yea LiS 2 sure is more demanding, had to lower some stuff but in overall it wasn't that bad on my 570.
Its a slow game so I did not care much for fps anyway and just played the game.

Yea, I'll probably get the remasters as well, but I want to play them from TV so I'll just play the originals as Radeon HD 7850 manages those fine.

O yea that will do just fine, easy to run games as it should be.
First time I played LiS 1+ BtS I had a 4.th gen i 3 and a GTX 950 and it was all good even on 1440p forced with DSR.

Actually you can even play the first game on mobile

, randomly found it in the app store and tried the demo.
Obviously its a toned down version of the PC game but I was still surprised that it exist and that it runs on my ~150$ phone from 2018.

Mobile version with Xbox controller via bluetooth = pure win.

Finally played through Wolfenstein: The New Order, and Wolfenstein: The Old Blood, Wolfenstein: The New Colossus all in order of release.
Right now I am finishing up (or at least I think I am) Wolfenstein: Youngblood. Youngblood is a little confusing, but still pretty fun.
This series is definitely not for folks that are real squeamish

I did this one a couple years ago, it really holds up well... also if you hit alt + enter then hit alt + enter again, it would turn on high refresh mode so I was getting 144 fps 144hz smoothness... really hope you didn't play it all at 60 fps, not many people know that trick for that game lol
