I decided to just go ahead and buy all the PC games I was interested in for the rest of the year. If one isn't doing it for me, I can hop to something else. I've got Control Resonant, Galactic Racer (which I've mostly completed), Gears E-Day...
What's wild is that there actually ARE a ton of major UI tweaks in this version of Windows, but it's all unlocking server-side at random.
In addition to the Start menu and search tweaks, there's a new right click context menu hidden in there...
The graphics are about as good as you'll find, but the game isn't that big. You keep going back to the same locations over and over. In terms of size/scope, Gears 5 dwarfs it. On the marketing side, I remember seeing a fair amount of ads around...
It is what it is, I guess. Their best stuff was in the distant past. They had a resurgence with Mass Effect and Dragon Age, but they were mostly good ideas/worlds with clumsy games set in them. Well, than and EA made them do dumb things. More...
For what it's worth, at least when playing the CPU, the best thing to do is to just max out autopilot and the ability that makes your specials recharge faster. I was curious how far it would take me and I basically let the game race itself for...
I guess there's a larger DLC coming in December, too. Some of the Halloween items specifically reference it. The additional stuff they added to the original game ended up being pretty substantial, so I have high hopes for MS2 over the long haul.
That thing is coming along really quickly. I guess Demon's Souls is borderline playable for real right now. While certainly a long, long way from being truly feasible across the board, it's pretty impressive for an emulator of a current console.
It's a weird game because some elements of it now look like a million bucks (lighting/shadows), but other elements (animations) look multiple generations old. I tried to go back to it 6 months ago and got bored pretty quickly. I liked it on my...
Yesterday is first I've ever heard of it. On my setup (7950X3D/4090) it doesn't really do much to my FPS, but it turns a pretty smooth experience into the first time you're playing a new level in Wukong. It's bad enough where it feels bugged, and...
After playing around with the various settings, it seems like the culprit for just about all of my issues is one item: "RTX Mega Geometry"
Lots of settings affect FPS here and there, but that one setting introduces hitching, pausing, etc...
I'll give it a shot with everything turned off of Ludicrous. I'm pulling massive FPS, but stutters, hitches, and pauses are driving me nuts. There's an in-game benchmark, but it's basically worthless since it's almost entirely a single static...
It's on Gamepass, so I'm giving it a shot. I liked the other ones. With all the chatter about them using new tech to reduce stuttering, I'm seeing way more in this game than I planned. Traversal pauses, jitters in new areas, etc. In once...
Then I'm stuck carrying around a power bank and an older phone that I still need to plug in and and charge all the time. The $15 per month for a yearly upgrade nets me a phone that normally costs $1100 each year, so it's not like it's going...
Maybe? It's a definitely issue with ShadPS4 and all the Unofficial PC ports I've tried that require you to have the actual console ROMs handy to run them. I dunno. I have RPCS3 setup to run via Vulkan and it's hit and miss based on the game...
4 suffered from being two games they stitched together. The first half might as well just be a movie game like Until Dawn. The middle is a bunch of empty open world areas, and the end is like the final areas of Uncharted 2 and 3 on the hardest...
That's the knock on almost all (modern) emulated titles and pseudo-ports like this one. They pretty much all do that the first time a new area, mode, etc. loads. It isn't intolerable, but it's annoying. Definitely an argument against "the...
I don't think I've ever drained one all the way down to 0%, but I've been in the back multiple Ubers where I was praying my phone didn't die before I got home. If it's a game day and I'm getting lots of texts, there's a guarantee I'll have to...
There's now an "Unofficial PC Port" of Nathan Drake Collection: https://www.dsogaming.com/news/uncharted-the-nathan-drake-collection-unofficial-pc-port-released/
You need the PS4 ROM (it basically works like a single-game emulator with a really...
There have been several more updates, so it seems like the developers are looking to make this the best overall way to play Bloodborne on the PC.
Worth noting, they have a port of the Nathan Drake Collection, too...
