Video Games

Anyone like need for speed heat?

 

Sweaty Tryhards, lol. You should see some of my GTA outfits, they are the true definition of a sweaty tryhard. Purposefully built to draw in a fight.

 

I finally started into Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. Really enjoying it so far. The guy voicing Indy nailed it. I actually thought it was probably A.I. at first.

I also finally picked up Game Pass for PC last Nov. Can't believe I didn't do this sooner! Game pricing is just ridiculous. Between that and Steam sales I haven't bought a new release AAA game full retail in the last 6 mos or so, but I'll continue to support the indies. And if I want to play any PS exclusives, I just start up my GameFly account for a month.

 

I'll just leave this here...

How much are people willing to pay for this game? The absurd amount of fanship surrounding this game is absurd! They could literally charge 149.99$ and people will line up to buy it.

 

They are already crying about rumored price of $80-$100 for regular version. It's going to be one of best games, if not the best ever made, providing countless hours of entertainment, which in the end will cost literally pennies per hour of fun. That's the way I see it. I'll buy it either way and my son will probably benefit most from it

 

I've been playing older(relatively speaking) games these past few years! Maybe I'm getting old, but I couldn't see anything worth picking up. Kingdom come 2 was in my "looking forward" list, but now I'm not sure. Maybe will pick it up on sale at some point.

I've been enjoying stuff from 2010-2020. Easy on my hardware too! Getting pheromones performance from my old goat. X5670(first gen i7)+3060ti

 

I took a long break from gaming but have gotten back into the last gen Xbox ecosystem in recent years. I put 200 hours into Witcher 3 and am still playing GTA V.

My backlog still contains:

Skyrim
Dishonored 1-2
RDR2
FO4
Borderlands series

I figure that’s at least 5 years of games at my pace.

 

Played skyrim, but haven't finished. There's a lot of content if you are easily distracted by side quests.

Now, rdr2: now that's a great game. Basic story is: "we jUsT need more mOnEy..", but the way game plays, the atmosphere, horse taming and just plain ol' hanging out in camp is bar none the best experience. Very enjoyable. I have an unhealthy number of hours in the game. (some of them are from computer sitting idle, because i often would just minimize the game and let it run in background, so the hours keep ticking regardless).

 

I love RDR 2, but I haven't played it in close to 3 years. Need to finish it. I've been busy playing COD MW Remastered

 

Wow.... I thought I put some time in on RDR2


I also play Kingdom Come but need to get back into it. Haven't got 40 hours into it.

Beat AC:Valhalla and started GoW:Ragnarok. Cannot stop once I start GoW...........was waiting for it to land on PC and once it did I snagged it but was still playing Valhalla. Now I'm making up for lost time.

 

Kingdom come is very similar. Once you dip into the world, it's a very immersive experience! Playing the game of dice in the tavern during evening is awesome! I spent a lot of time raiding skalitz skirmishes. Some serious gear(and groshen) can be acquired by fighting high level soldiers and selling their armor. Hell, even firing up a torch and slowly walking through the main street of rattay in the evening is great.

 

I'm struggling to get to where I'm immersed lol. Right now it seems like if I piss off the wrong toddler I'll die...

 

Skyrim is worth beating btw...........

 

Execute said toddler. Problem solved.

 

My current profession being what it is, I'm sure that's frowned upon.

That being said, my character would get his ass kicked by the toddler.

 

Maybe it's time to head up to captain Bernard and get them skills up at the training arena? Kingdom come is a little different though. Get ambushed by a group of peasants and they will easily have your ass handed to you, regardless of your skill.

Game itself will tell you that sometimes it's best to tuck that tail and run away.

 

Yeah...used to be big into Modern Warfare.
Had a team even,or Clan.
Might have to hook up the ol Playstation and see if any of them are still around.

 

man, quantum break is so trippy!

 

Never heard of it.

Or at least I thought I hadn't. Went to Steam just now to check it out, and it's already in my library.

And it gets even better. I finally signed up for GamePass PC last November, and since the game is XBox Studios, it's included with the service lol.

 

quite quiet here lately. Everyone grown up now
Haven't posted these here. Cheers!

 

Those graphics are stunning. I had to check what thread I was in, because I couldn't tell in the first two pics that they weren't photos.

 

What game is that? Forza?

I've been caught up in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. It's a bit of a slow slog. I'll enjoy it, and then I'll hate it, but then I want to keep playing it just to get to the end lol.

 

Thats fh5. How's indiana running? I've read performance is a little difficult on lower end systems with ray tracing.

 

I wanted some easy video game playing.

So I downloaded and started playing Elden Ring.

 

Yes, elden ring is definitely very easy. those boss battles are low stress enjoyment.

 

In all honesty...I've learned it's not ridiculous *IF*

• you actually hold onto the stuff you have - the most inconsequential stuff seems to be worth it to help you buff against a boss
• you don't try to just wail on someone the minute you get a chance - hit a time or two or three, then get ready to dodge/parry/roll
• you don't mind a bit of grinding

I've been playing for all of maybe 4 hours so far and ran into Recursant Henricus, near the Limgrave Colosseum. I beat him first try - it did require me to heal once, but my point - I just hit once or twice, parried/dodged, then repeated, and I beat him.

 

Cool. I'll have to give it a run now that I have PC GamePass.

Indiana Jones was choppy when I first played it when it released. I didn't touch it again until a few weeks ago, and it has since been optimized and running smooth as butter with VRR (G-Sync) enabled. I can get the defacto 60 fps and high refresh at 4k res, but I much prefer 1440p 120 fps/hz locked. And that is also in the "cinematic" framing mode. But the kicker is the voice actor (Troy Baker). He does a better job sounding like Harrison Ford than Harrison Ford does at sounding like Harrison Ford.
