Lately I've been unable to get myself to play anything for more than half an hour. I think it's because every game is simply a progression trap, trying to get you hooked on some repetitious daily/weekly grind where you have a checklist of chores to complete, and if you don't keep up you fall...

4 episodes in and it's already amazing.

I swear gaming as a kid on my old TV didn't look this bad I bought the same model CRT TV as the once I had back in the day and it is blurry, bright and grainy a bit. Pretty sure it was crystal clear when I used to play the PS2 on my old CRT back in 2003 Is nostalgia blinding me or indeed the...

Went straight to Malevolen Creek to fight the Automatons. Haven't had any server issues so far. Had one freeze and I had to close the game, then a few framerate slows in heavy battles with excessive explosions (GTX 1070 Crew lol). Fun game. Time to spread some DEMOCRACY for Super...

Aside from Switch 2, which we already have a very good idea of what to expect. I expect: -much better upscaling, likely ai driven (native 4K still won’t be standard, but it likely won’t matter) -much better ray tracing -smaller raw gpu performance jump, like we are probably going to see with...

Essentially $80. I mean... Wtf? There is no reason for games to be over $20-$40. Except for greed, of course.

Looks pretty incredible, but I have no idea how it plays. Thoughts? EDIT: RIP to those who bought it.

Demo comes out in just under 8 hours. Progress made in demo carries over to main game. Graphic mode options: Performance mode: 1440p @60fps Balanced mode: 1440p with 4k output via TAAU @55-60fps Resolution mode: 4k @ 30fps

It sounds like something you wouldn't want to do (if you don't like games), but I long for the days of being able to escape reality for a good few hours without getting bored. What games can you play these days and genuinely get immersed/absorbed in?

Horizon Forbidden West is easily the best looking, if not top three best looking games on any platform. Tbh I don't even know if PC has any game that rivals this graphically. Ratchet and Clank still the goat, but Horizon Forbidden West is prolly a second.

What are you boys playing now?? Anyone watching Fallout?

Seems like the only thing gamers give a sht now is good graphics, even if the story sucks ass.

TT4ipmSaM_I This isn't for anyone else, not as much as for me, but I bet some of you sleeping on this or who think the name sucks chit (and you're not wrong) may enjoy. Anyone familiar with Ogre Battle (part of the Tactics Ogre universe) will recognize the gameplay. To the 99.8% of you who are...

The thing is great but it seems to be rarely talked about. If one of the biggest negatives of going to a new platform not having your games, it has the potential to get more people involved in PC gaming, get PC gamers more interested in buying an Xbox. It also has the ability to draw customers...
