What game are you playing now?

Anyone tried Animal Well?  I keep seeing rave reviews of this pop up from people that I follow on YouTube.  Going to start it soon.

Looks like a good retro puzzle game. Someone needs to create a free good games thread, maybe I can expand my library for free

[ryan]

curious if someone can mention 1 game that looks like it was made in 2024? anything out their or is everything still garbage. I have waited 20 years for an improvement of crysis 1 and have yet to see a generational leap from said game....

 

is this a joke

[raptorddd]

last game i played was the genesis order its an sdult game its was good the story was ok the only i hate was that every 5 minutes you have intercorse with all the females in the game its fine but it was very repetitive and too many times i cheated because i watched videos when i got stuck i think it took me 83 hours to beat.

am playing crysis 1 right now am on the level you drive a tank in a tunnel using medium settings. i like farcry 1 better.

[ryan]

Yeah it's just one game I really enjoy mostly for nostalgia...farcry 3 is a pretty good title..farcry 1 was also pretty good

[ryan]

Been having a blast with chess.com 8 ball pool and real racing 3 on my tablet.. no reason to use laptop

[ryan]

but that way you dont know the whole story behind the game. i love seeing video scenes many people just skip the cut scenes am like wait how would you know the story behind the game if you skip cutscenes.

[ryan]

yeah sometimes the stories make the game. I thought far cry 3 was really well done. convincing antagonist and interesting story as well as pretty solid game mechanics

i found farcry was longer to beat than crysis. i might try far cry 2.

have you ever heard of shenmue from sega i loved that game to ahead of its time from 2000 i love this game

 

[ryan]

thats funny you should mention shenmue. shenmue was my favorite game of all time, game was like 10 years ahead of its time and I still have yet to find a game that allows you to explore the same way. I mean you get a job and actually work in the game. I bought shenmue 3 but havent played it yet, will likely save it for a good time.

 

 

good deal on shemue 3

Shenmue III (Steam) |PC| CDKeys

i am a sega fan. really wow. it was mine too also liked shenmue 2 on xbox. i havent seen or play any other shenmue game.

i love to watch and explore the shenmue world i used to like go to every house and talk to all the npu's 

we are alike. i got red dead redemtion for xbox 360 and never played the game i was saving it to play on another time. eventually i never played it i have it still but the xbox dvd drive was done.  i had replaced it once with same dvd and just swapped the circuit board. but didnt get one and am not sure where the xbox is i left it opened just read to swap dvd drives. another game i was playing was oblivion.

[ryan]

That's awesome. I was a huge sega fan as a kid. Cool that I'm not alone

Finished Alan Wake 2 (except for the last episode in the Night Springs DLC) and keeping it installed as a GPU stability test 😄 funny enough, after going through ALL GPU benchmarks available to me, AW2 turned out to be the most reliable in throwing up errors if the OC was too high 😛 The game itself is awesome, have played through the whole AW series so far.

 

I then completed Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, awesome game! loads of fun.

 

Currently playing through Quantum Break, unusual gem Id say. About 90% through and not regretting it.

 

So yep, Id say Hyperion is getting its playtime for sure currently 😄 My tuning itch is slowly returning though, I might finally turn my attention to the CPU after having completed GPU and RAM stable OC.

Woah. Serious gaming..good on you..good for the mind and enjoyable..if I didn't have an adhd like attention span I'd be playing similar games and try to beat aw from like 10 years ago..vr is my new toy..found out recently half life 2 is now vr ready with valves official add on..checked it out and yeah it's pretty mindblowingly immersive.. the cool thing about these vr headsets is having a desktop or laptop setup you can just use it sitting down at your main rig just way more immersion.. gives you a weird feeling that leaves you thing wow...what will vr be like in 10 years..if you own a powerful rig not having a cheap quest 2 or quest 3 should be against the laws in UK USA canada Australia and any developed country lol.

HL2 in VR? huh, had no idea! maybe Valve is getting all HL games up to speed before HL3 is finally released 😛 

 

on a more serious note regarding future games: looking forward to the second DLC for Alan Wake 2, the new Indiana Jones game by Machinegames (also wish there were news on Wolfenstein 3!), TItan Quest 2 and Bioshock 4. And ofc HL3 if the latest leaks are anything to go by....

 

In the meantime, i gotta take a look at the Black Myth: Wukong Benchmark Tool, apparently 4K maxed with RT even a 4090 is brought down to its knees, lulz. Should be a nice stability tool for the 5090 😛 

[ryan]

Apparently the new starwars outlaws can be picked up for free. Not sure where what when how..but I'll google it when I get back

[ryan]

@jaybee83s prob busy playing wukong...third playthrough lol. I cant believe a 4090 gets under 50fps in that game, utterly insane, I mean it looks good but 4090 at 50fps good? heck no

[raptorddd]

i remembered playing GT3 back in the day with a celeron cpu 1.7 ghz single core and built in intel graphics. LOL it was a bit laggy but i enjoyed it.

hahaha nope wukong doesnt really interest me aside from the heavy benchmark 😛 i actually just started Mass Effect Legendary Edition. Gonna be my very first playthrough of ME, should be interesting. especially given all the good things ive heard about it.

Once you get your feet wet in masseffect it's to the death. Incredible take on the future
