Video Games

I played a few hours yesterday, honestly its not really grabbed me. It doesn't help that the controlls feel terrible, by default there's loads of turning acceleration but even turning that off it sometimes feels way too sensitive and sometimes really sluggish.

sounds like you should've picked the dong option with a lower inertial mass

I initially tried it with a controller and quickly switched back to keyboard & mouse. Never really been big on FPS games with a controller so can't really say if it's particularly bad.

Annoyingly, it's definitely the sort of game that trigger spending a bunch on PC upgrades. Knew I was being optimistic with my current spec and was holding out for a super well optimised game. Doesn't seem to be anything special on that front.

Quite enjoying it so far, even at 20-30fps...

It's also crashed 3 times already for me, each while driving.

Think I just grabbed an Xbox Series X from amazon.it They seem to be available on amazon.de too.

Kotor 2 coming on iOS, that’s my Christmas festive period sorted...

Yeah this is annoying...

Graphics are gorgeous though,
I'm playing at 4k using the 40fps vsync option, so frame rates not great but still looks absolutely stunning

Got up to the first Brain dance segment, thought that was a novel concept, enjoyed

Need a new CPU I think

My "old" i7-6700 is bottlenecking the RTX 3080

But as ever stock of pc parts remains dreadful

Dammit... not fast enough

I've got the Discord alert set up from Stock Informer - https://www.stockinformer.co.uk/checker-xbox-series-x

When they say that it is available at any of the Amazons they also tend to show up at other European ones. I go through

Amazon.fr
Amazon.it
Amazon.de
Amazon.es

Worked out this time. The Discord alert was the key.

Getting back on to Runescape after about 10 years. Can no longer use my old account, gutted!

Toyed with bringing back my LOTRO account recently but couldn't log in and between all the sales of the game from one holding company to another, no chance of retrieval. Probably even more hours put into that than PUBG.

RIP Eladanthir, sweet hunter elf, DPS somewhere in the sky.

How does it work ordering from eu? Do you just need to buy a difference wall adaptor?

Assuming you don't live in Italy already?

Yes, just a different plug. Figure 8 plug at least 3amp.

Few hours in CP2077.

I love that enemies all drop their guns and you can pick them up. Not enough games do that.

Overall enjoying it. No bugs or anything yet. Driving feels a bit naff, I also find the text is a bit small for items.

Just finished a run-through of this on my laptop. Such a classic. Properly enjoyed the grey-area themes and party characters, the sort of game that you want to replay immediately to see what you missed last time.

Looks good, will be interesting to see what people think of it..

A few hours in and enjoying it - runs ok on medium high settings on my old laptop and just few graphical glitches so far. Can see myself really getting into it - has a very Deus Ex feel about it so far.

Still watching fightincowboy’s let’s play of it, and it’s interesting/frustrating to see what he’s pumping his skill points into (I’d put them elsewhere but I’m not playing) apart from that feels like you could sneaky which is nice..

did anybody drop a minidisc player?

Sony offering proper refunds on digital copies for PS4. That’s really, really bad.

Edit: CDPR have setup a helpline specifically for people to get refunds sorted. Madness.

Doesn't look too bad...

agreed. looks quite good actually

Having played about 12 hours the game feels like an empty shell - so many features that were promised have clearly been cut or are just broken. It ain't an rpg - its just a fairly standard open world shooter with terrible AI. It runs fine for me on my laptop (1060 w/16gb RAM) and looks pretty - very few bugs so far but otherwise very meh. I'll be going back to Control AWE for a while.

I'm struggling to get into it as well. Partly because I want to wrap up AC:V first, but that's feeling easier to do than I expected.

i'm rather enjoying the AC:Engerlund. finally, side quests done right that don't involve going to the other side of the map to gather 15 fucking boar cocks.

Worcestershire sauce! The Prodigy! Beardy weirdy naturalists!

top stuff.
