cucubits Posted February 3, 2022 Author Share Posted February 3, 2022 Vampire Survivors Spent a couple hours on this today. It's unexpectedly good, simple and draws you in to play again and again. The player only controls movement (wasd), nothing else. There's auto fire and it's all in the abilities and perks you find and level up. Bob and weave through increasing hoards of enemies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KING19 Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 I havent been gaming much lately but i finally finished Rise of the Tomb Raider and i might start Shadow next. But now i started playing Mafia: Definitive Edition. Awesome game so far and i wish i played the original game when i was a kid. Also Rockstar should of taken notes of how to create a real Definitive Edition!.

Mafia 2 is also good, but my favorite is Mafia 3 even with all the bugs, Ioved New Bordaeux as fictional city. I have on standby Dragon Age Inquisition, it's... not good, cannot recommend it to someone else in good conscience. it's a chore and a grindfest even with QOL mods. I think the last time I played it was a week ago and I really don't feel like continuing after 45+ hours in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hertzian56 Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 The patches really help with God Of War especially the sharpening which makes it look a lot better for me. It's a cpu heavy game and I wish we could get full screen exclusive mode so I can use DSR for higher resolutions to push it onto the GPU more, at 1080p it's in the +-90% cpu usage and usually around 45% gpu usage, also I get drops down to 45fps low but it's usually at 60 but not really locked plenty of stutter all over thus cpu problem. Even though the memory leak crash is gone it's still in the 7+gb system ram and around 4.5gb vram usage all the time really bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cucubits Posted February 11, 2022 Author Share Posted February 11, 2022 Am I the only one playing Dying Light 2? Even with all the downsides mentioned in the dedicated thread, I'm still having a blast with it and do not regret picking it up on day 1 at all. I am 25 hours in at the moment and I have just left the first area of the map. Fun to explore and find random side stuff but the main story is interesting too. Also, drop kicking everything that looks at you funny is very satisfying... and saves weapon durability, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hfm Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 Proposal to maybe create a "Gaming" section where this thread can exist as well as other gaming/software related threads. I think I remember a section for Gaming existed in NBR and it was easier to find than just hanging out in General. Nevermind I just noticed this is in a section called "Gaming Floor" I didn't notice on the main page. Probably that the topic headings are the same weight and color as the rest, but yeah my fault. 😕 1 [Draupnir] 5600X | EVGA 3080 | Asus B550-I Strix | 32GB 3600@CL16 2C/2R | 2 x WD SN750 | NZXT H1 V2 | Custom back panel with 2x140mm | Win 11 Pro [Sleipnir] MacBook Pro 16 | M1 Max | 32GB | 1TB [Munnin] LG Gram 17 | i7-8565U | 16GB | 2 x 512GB SSD | Fedora 38 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cucubits Posted February 13, 2022 Author Share Posted February 13, 2022 Forgot to mention, I tried my hands on Frostpunk. Kept hearing good things about it from friends and while I do like the atmosphere, graphics and music, it's just not my type of game. On my first run I couldn't even get the generator started. Then I got that but still people kept dying 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hertzian56 Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 Finished God of War last night, meh. Still great animations/art though. I wish it was a truly open world like TW3 but it's fine as is. I didn't do any side missions may get to some of them sometime. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

docbach Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 My best friend and I have been playing a lot of mechwarrior 5, right now we’re replaying the campaign using the first four hero mechs we could find in a previous campaign and have a house rule where we can only purchase and use hero mechs. Made a three year old game fun. We also picked up far cry 5 as it was on sale for $12. really challenging our Adler lake builds by playing four year old games on them 😆 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duskw4lker Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 Quake 1 + Arcane Dimensions using Quakespasm-spiked sourceport. Turns out that you can also play the original campaign included in AD (besides a LOT of new maps/dimensions to enter at the hub of AD) with a new difficulty setting called 'Chaos 666' that randomizes the enemies while also taking advantage of the new content: weapons, powerups, upgrades, a lot of new enemies. It's like playing Q1 for the first time 😄😄 😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hertzian56 Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 Yeah Elden Ring, so far I have not had any of the major reported problems but I usually dial it down, default on startup was high but at 720p, switched to 1080p and a mix of high/med/low/off runs at or near 60 all the time. I have to say so far it's just another Dark Souls game with a different name, graphics at my settings look the same as DS3. I'm not far just to the mansion with all the characters/table so it hopefully will have some amazing new environments and enemies. Edit: after playing for a bit more it def looks better than DS3 but it's no RDR2 etc still looks great, some stutter now and then but nothing that kills it for me. Nice LOD too really awesome. Once again just like the other DS games the UI takes some getting used to but I'm using an xbone controller so it's kinda setup for that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cucubits Posted March 4, 2022 Author Share Posted March 4, 2022 Elex 2. I liked Elex 1 a lot, it definitely had some of the old Gothic games vibe. So far this one is pretty similar. To keep the references going, Elex 1 was Gothic 2 and Elex 2 is more like Gothic 3. It feels somewhat too open. Adding a jetpack from the start sort of removes a lot of the exploration difficulty so I'm not sure I understand why they did that but so far it's fun. For me it didn't have the same effect as Elex 1, as in it's nice but not impressive enough to be sure I'll stick to it. In parallel I'm still debating to go back to Cyberpunk or start Elden Ring. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
