That was true. I eventually started to figure out how to increase my damage more effectively, I would kill dragons in a few hits. Also once you get a certain shout, dragons were easier to fight. But I didn't learn this until I was well into the game lol.
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition with Anniversary Upgrade
This game. What an experience. Not sure what to say except my first playthrough was 225 hours long. I had fun playing this game.
So much content. I just loved wondering around finding new locations to explore. Finding new...
Foreground FPS is the FPS while playing. Background is like when you are alt tabbed. Can set a lower background FPS so the game still isn't maxing your GPU out when it doesn't need to.
Subnautica - Leviathans screech. nuff said
Alien:Isolation - Alien stomping noise intensifies.
Hellblade:Senua's Sacrifice The whispers sound like they are in your head.
Mass Effect. Reaper sound effects - nuff said
Half Life/Portal games. Great use of ambience sounds.
Was the word sunsetting used this way before Bungie did it to Destiny 2? Or did Bungie start some trend of using that word to basically mean F over customers.
Finished up the campaign. Probably the worst one they have done, imo. Just didn't have any fun and only got through it in some effort for some payoff.
Zero impact felt
Nothing ever explained. We have this new villain who is 'bad', don't know why but trust us hes bad. Ya ok. Visually The...
Few missions into campaign. Not really into this one like with Witch Queen. Intro cutscene was fun, but after that not having fun. Going to keep pressing on to see how it plays out but ya, not liking the new content.
Some of the game design changes are nice with the mods. Also like the new...
BioShock 2 Remastered
Great game set in the Bioshock series. Mostly the same gameplay as one with some changes. Great environments and atmosphere, story is decent. Doesn't have the same charismatic characters of the first game but are still well voiced.
The Minerva's Den DLC is also a...
Meh, might be fun for a bit but theres already so many of these types of games, this just adds the DC characters. With the success of Hogwarts, its sad that Warner had to turn this game into a GaaS.
102 hours. Main game + 2 expansions. Didn't compete all of the side quests so could have gone longer. Might finish them up but also want to start playing something else.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Complete Edition
Wow what an experience.
This has easily become one my favorite and most enjoyed single player experiences. The story, writing, characters arcs, and the world are all fantastic.
Combat was greatly improved past previous games and was fun and...
I thought the first Serious Sam games were impressive when I first played them. Large levels. Lots of enemies on screen. Impressive at the time effects, imo.
Traffic light logic fail at 4:17 to 4:21~. One direction goes green, camera turns left, other light is green, doubt it had time to turn red in the time it took for the camera to turn . Maybe an oversight but still, attention to details is important.
Watched a few minutes of gameplay to see what its about.
Looks like a game some first time developer forgot to release back in like 2007, found the files on some cd, decided to release it in 2023 with a bloat file size usage. A multimillion dollar studio signed off on this and put a AAAA...
Was probably the explosives affix. During a fight, orbs will spawn with a timer, if the timer pops off it does like 40% damage to the group. To prevent, just tag them with any damage, they have 1 hp or LoS.
Dark Messiah of Might & Magic
A fun rpg in the first person perspective. Featuring puzzles( one of the few non Valve, source engine games), good sword combat and an entertaining story. There customization is limited but I don't consider that a negative, not every game needs massive skill...
Anno 1800 is the Ubisoft game I enjoy the most of recently and will buy basically any DLC for it because it just adds more layers to the gameplay. I'm 200+ hours into my save and still have things to do and I love to optimize my production systems. I think Anno is one of their more popular...
To many to choose but these are my picks for games I enjoyed over the year.
Dragon Age Inquisition
Mass Effect Andromeda
Prey
ELDEN RING
Shadow of the Tomb Raider
Control
Fallout 3 and New Vegas
Valheim
Deep Rock Galactic
Anno 1800
Mindustry
Stellaris
There is a portal you need to go in that zone with the time travelers will get you to Azmerloth.
If you are in a zone that looks like Northrend, you are in the right zone, find the quest giver near all of the friendly NPCs
Cautiously skeptical for this one. For me things it need to do better than D3 are, have a better skill system, better itemization, chill with the 11 zillion damage numbers, have a decent campaign, and fun endgame.
You get an email if you win. From the rules. "Steam Deck winners will also be notified by email to the email address associated with the winning Steam account; in that email, Valve may request shipping information for the sole purpose of delivering a Steam Deck prize to such winners."
Do you have all of the upgrades? You can get them all in about 30 minutes if you missed any while going through the campaign. Pretty much infinite flight if manage it correctly, which is easier with maxed upgrades. Also can climb to the highest reached without too much issue.
Ya the lag...
Finished up the campaign the other day. Overall I had a blast. Good pacing, quest objectives seemed fair and not to grindy. New zones are nice, however I think Shadowlands might have had more differences between them? Still liked them overall. Also dragonriding is amazing to get around and...
Started playing Vampire Survivors and Mindustry.
Vampire Survivors is a fun time waster. Good gameplay loop.
Mindustry is fun with a lot of options to unlock and build up your bases with.
Also, fans seems to be set to 66% as auto it's grayed out. Set it to auto. No reason to keep fans going at idle and it will ramp them up based on temps of the GPU.
Tower defense?
Have you tried X-morph? There is a demo on steam to try. Its tower defense but your builder also is combat capable. Good tower variety and over the top campaign/story.
Run something like HWinfo and check temps, CPU/GPU frequency, voltages, etc to make sure nothing is out of place. Check for constant frequency changes, especially when gaming.
Run a few benchmarks like 3dMark and CineBench to put a load on the hardware and check stability. Compare results...
