Finished DOOM 3: Resurrection of Evil. This was my first time playing it. I think I enjoyed this more than DOOM 3. It had more interesting environments compared to the base game. It also didn't drag on like the base game.

I loved the idea of the soul cube gaining different powers after defeating the bosses, and the sound design is amazing, but the final boss is an obnoxious bullet sponge.
 
Still playing American Truck Simulator most nights. Keep Adding more mods to make it more realistic. (Real-world logos, companies, Trucks, parts, stores, better weather, etc.) Was driving in the Northern States and saw the Aurora Borealis in-game, which was kind of neat to see.
Probably will play City of Heroes, which i've been neglecting for a while, and maybe a healthy dose of CP2077 and GTA5.
 
So I'm playing nine sols on game pass and I'm stuck at the part when you kill
Fuxi but I can't get the buster device the fat cat guy doesn't do anything after talking to the robot eye... Wtf do I need to do

The quickest way, rather than wait and see if a person who is playing/has played that game and at that part you're stuck on, would be to...

and google that problem or walkthroughs.

I plan on continuing another playthrough of Borderlands and poke my head into WoW and see what's going on.
 
Finished off Far Cry and it doesn't seem any easier with the downgraded version.
That shit was so tedious that I must of died 100 times, too be fair I was playing on hard but come on.
I use to have that game down to a science, I knew where every enemy was just like DOOM 3, but I got my ass handed to me this time, all my muscle memory for that game vanished.

Started Far Cry 2 on Steam. I always played from disc before and didn't have any DLC's.
The Steam version has the Fortunes Pack which adds some new vehicles and some new weapons that I've never seen before.
Also this version requires Vsync or all the NPC's start jumping 20ft in the air.

I started the game using Scubrah's Patch but all kinds of shit went sideways when I tried to get rid of some of the mods that it included with it since I wanted a vanilla run.
Supposedly the patch allowed you to run it in DX10 and have a 150fps frame rate, Which was mainly the only reason that I wanted to use it. But he did ALOT of tinkering with the game that I wasn't interested in.

So I said fuck it and have just been running it at Vsynced 60fps w/DX10 and haven't had a single issue as of yet (3hrs in).
 
for me it's nestris.org
for classic tetris fans.... easy to jump into and compete against others and the other puzzles/features really add another depth to the game.

Make sure it's actually running at 60 Hz because DX10 chooses to run at the first refresh rate listed by CAPS which is often 24 Hz these days.

Oh it's definitely 60fps, I remember the Crysis issue with it running at 24Hz.
My TV reports the frequency on start up of every game.

It's certainly a difficult game on the higher difficulties. I remember playing it years ago on the hardest difficulty and some parts were just ridiculous. Also the big guys with rocket launcher arms, they had so much HP I'd start just avoiding even fighting them if possible. I really don't bother with difficulty settings like that anymore, I've realized it's just tedious in lots of parts and not really more fun and challenging.

Yeah the Trigens with launchers are something else smh.
At least you can cheese the shit out of them though, such as funneling them through doorways that they can't fit through and having them use their rocket launcher in close proximity to a wall, they love blowing themselves up.

I hate the Trigens with the M4 that like to jump 50ft in the air and land in the jungle and one shot you from 500yds away.
 
I recall the last couple levels of the original Far Cry being super, super tough. Pretty much everything after the river level, which is still one of my favorite game levels of all time. The final mission in particular was frustrating as hell. I think I had to use a bunch of cheese tactics to eventually complete that one.
 
Backstory: I know the tech director at my school, and whom I work for. They are some old Toshiba Satellite C850s, running Windows 7 (okay, thats aight), 4gb RAM (eh, pretty weak, but some of our newer machines are still running that), 320GB HDDs (not very nice), and the cherry on top of the frankly, avocado sundae, is the immense, the elite, top-of-the-line Celeron 1000M! 2 cores, 2 threads, 2MB cache- oh, and did I mention, it runs at 1.8GHZ!! (no turbo O_O). Anyway, we were running low on some of our laptops (because kids break stuff) andI was able to pitch the idea of refurbing these Toshibas into loaners. Windows 11, core i5s (3230m 3.2ghz turbo, 3MB cache), ssds, and 8gb ram- make them actually usable for basic tasks. I have the IT director on board, and he is trying to figure out whether he can use our licensing alongside the Windows 11 compatibility workarounds.

What I am actually doing: I am taking my similarly specced toshiba satellite (i5 4200u, 16gb ram, ssd) and installing windows 11 to make sure itll be fast enough. Why? -I have been spoiled by AtlasOS whenever I install it on lesser machines, so I want to make sure that it would run fine even with the Windows bloat.

Everything Else: Probably playing a minecraft server running an old version with my friends.

Same. The first part of the game was amazing, the last 3rd with the Trigens was not balanced too well. I don't mind hard but I recall just moving out of a corridor and being instantly blown up by a rocket. They could pixel snipe you with rockets from far away. First part of the game had some good AI if I recall and was great. Still liked the end part, but certainly wasn't as good. Crysis had a similar issue. I liked the aliens and they did seem unique enough but those missions were more linear and didn't have the freedom of the early 2/3s of the game.
 
Picked up BG3 and can't believe I waited so long to try it. Game's great. Currently playing as a Fighter, but already plan on starting a new campaign as a Paladin (my usual go to class for these types of games).

The end when you need to run down the mountain. I cheated because of how stupid it is.
 
I was very tempted to buy/install PoE2 this morning before leaving for work, but with all the talk about the new 0.2 patch being a cluster... I think I'll wait.

I'm currently eyeing too many games at once:
AC Valhalla
Balatro
GTA V
Last Epoch
South Park: The Fractured but Whole

And of course.... Grim Dawn like always

People blowing up the Division 2 thread's making me wanna re-install Div1. That game is so underappreciated - not as much as Everspace 2 but it's a close second
 
Trying Metro Awakening VR. Get a headache after 30 minutes... otherwise it is okay. "Teleport turning" adds to my headache.
 
I'm traveling a lot right now, so relegated to my Steam Deck and been playing through Mass Effect LE that I got for $6 on the recent sale, which seems perfectly fit to play on the Deck in terms of performance locking to 60 most of the time if I want, but play at 40hz on battery to save on power a bit. ME is prolly in my top 3 series of all time, but I haven't ever replayed it since they launched, so I'm loving the opportunity to replay it again.

I just beat ME1 after doing absolutely all side quests in 45ish hours and an onto ME2 now.

Reposting this from Genmay/WLWC because I thought it was funny at the moment 😁

When the universe is about to be destroyed by Sovereign and you have a small window of opportunity to sneak off the Citadel to stop it, but you have other priorities..

 
Just finished Mirrors Edge Catalyst. It's crazy to me how a game from 2016 looks and performs better at 4K than 75% of stuff released over the last few years.
FYI to anyone who might want to play it, since the servers are dead, you need to put the EA app into offline mode or you'll get an infinite load screen.

Have to decide if I want to start a short game or longer one next. Thinking between Dragon Age Inquisition, or Lunacid.
 
I got so many games it’s ridiculous.

Currently trying

BO6 SP3
Stalker 2
Ass Creed Shadows
Last of Us 2
South of Midnight
Avowed
Atomfall
Sniper Resistance

How am I going to finish even a single game is beyond me right now.

I also have BG3 in backlog and Alan Wake 2 DLC to finish so I can uninstall that crap.

focus on the good stuff like stalker, sniper and atmonfall?


i cant figure out what i want to play now that ff7 is done. played a couple rounds of pga 2k23, but nothing else is tickling my fancy...
 
Still fixed on Starfield. I picked it up at launch, thought it was decent enough despite it being a bit clunky and boring. Put it down after about a week.

I got my 5090 a few weeks back and thought I give it another go. They've fixed a lot of the transition and graphics issues over the past year -- it's a really great game now, I dare to say on the level of FO3, 4. There's so much content now it's insane, and it looks spectacular at highest settings at over 100fps.

I enjoyed Starfield for a couple hundred hours, finished the main quest line (did not go into the Unity), then did a lot of exploring, ship building, and base building. Anything new for bases and ships?

Did they add some variety to the enemy installations? After a while, they were all the same, which was lame. And, do vendors have more credits available now? It got tiring having to hop hop hop to the same handful of vendors after clearing the same handful of installations.
 
South of Midnight.. wow so far a nice visual auditory experience..

KickAssCop lmao.. I hear you.. I am playing most of those same games and am a bit overwhelmed atm too... just playing a different one each night rn.. unless I get completely hooked on one.

Started playing Medal of Honor: Allied Assault yesterday on my MacBook Pro 14" via the Mac Source Port. First time playing it. Back then when it was released, I only played the demo on PC and remembered loving it.

Still on my American Truck simulator kick, so i'll be playing that some this weekend. Also been playing Inzoi a bit. Fun, but has a learning curve at first.
Will probably continue on with Control. Started it and got a ways in, but other games at the time took my attention to it until now.
Will probably also do Starfield since the posts above seem to suggest its somewhat better atm. (Was fun before, but any little bit helps)
Oldie but goodies....Considering playing the Leisure Suit Larry series again just for the nostalgia factor. Linear games and dated, but still fun
Will be researching stuff for my next build also.
 
still not sure. i want more ff7 or something like it....
probably back to pga 2k23, 2k25 is still too damn much $.
 
The Outer Worlds... so far I like it.. For one thing, I love hunting down hidden stuff in the world. and oh so buttery smooth on this 240hz display. I feel like I will be pivoting between this and Atomfall until Oblivion Remastered comes out.

South of Midnight while visually striking and an interesting take on Alice in Wonderland, is not for me..
 
Been playing Balatro, phone version, when I'm not busy. Pretty fun, but I'm stuck on the black deck. I guess I could skip it, but I like doing things in order damnit!
 
The Outer Worlds is super... having a lot of fun with it.. I did a little recon on reddit about starting attributes and people were recommending setting intelligence to below average because it unlocks the best dialog in the game.. So I went strength perception and charm.. and below avg int... I have no ref point here but the dialog has indeed been very entertaining lol. There's often a (DUMB) option that takes you down a whole rabbit hole often times.. The whole game has been entertaining so far in general. finally wrapped up all my quests on that rock I started on, recruited Parvati & Vicar Max and am finally in orbit.. This should for sure keep me entertained until next week!

I usually rock the Lie attribute with Strength and Charm, than you can basically talk your way out of anything and into everything.
 
This is definitely a "heavy" weekend:

Last Epoch - S2
Oblivion Remaster
Tempest Rising

andddd maybe some good ole Grim Dawn & I'm planning to try Enshrouded
