anyone still playing apex?

Would anyone like a free copy of Ultra SFIV on Steam? Got a spare key from a Humble Bundle...

Cyberpunk 2077 completed last night - I have to say I did enjoy the game, I got about 40 hours out off and only paid £13 for it, so definitely got my moneys worth.

I think i'll purchase Alan Wake 2 next, and save Tomb Raider Remastered for the Switch for when i'm on holiday next month in Majorca.

Alan Wake 2 is excellent.

Did yo do the dlc for CP2077? It's also very good.

Nope, not played the DLC for Cyberpunk 2077 I think I need a break from it for a while!

I'm looking forward to Alan Wake 2, as I completed the remastered version in November last year, and I loved Control.

I'm doing another play through at the moment. 70 hours in (although there may be 24 hours where I didn't hit pause...), maxed out level, street cred, headhunter iirc, and I'm about halfway through the main quest.

Definitely value for money.

I got properly addicted to Cyberpunk before Christmas, got to the point of starting a new character so that I could do a run through as close to complete as possible, all the gigs, all the cyberpsychos, achievements etc. Only problem is the game doesn't scale with your level too well - for a netrunner at least, pretty much all combat became trivial when you get to the high character levels.

I really enjoyed it - shame there'll be no more dlc, but there's a new game coming in a few years time apparently.

Still got this? My younger bro plays on PC although I'm 90% confident he has this lol.

I'm pondering getting back to PC gaming on a budget. Main PC is in the loft so would be via steam link or another PC on the same network.

Given this, I'm not looking for anything amazing in terms of graphics. 1080p and average detail. Any suggestions what budget graphic card I should be looking at for this? PC is AMD 5600G, MSI B550-A PRO Motherboard and 32GB RAM. Also, I assume when they're not being used the graphics card will use negligible power, is that right?

Cheers

I am spending most of my gaming hours on Tekken.
I am very shit.
Not won an online battle yet.

I'm probably in the same boat. Haven't had a shot yet as I'm not 'ready' for online.

I had a similar experience. Went netrunner, increased the difficulty and everything was still trivial.

I think a heavy movement character with blades / precision rifles is probably the most fun, darting around and doing big damage, but I found the fast twitch controls on steam deck not there for me.

Enjoyed the game and story a lot but after around 40 hours I was happily done with the game and not interested in playing more. I think I managed to get the "good" ending which was nice too.

Try the ghost battles, they're a good middle ground between dumb computers and real people

Downloaded the demo for FF7 Rebirth. Went to Tifa's room and let's just say I got a little side-tracked.

Weird casting, but looking forward to it

About 3 hours into Death Stranding on the steam deck......what a game so far, wondering why i put it off for so long, and it runs really well on the deck which is always a huge plus!

Didn't expect to be so hype for this. Been holding off a second playthrough until the DLC released so I will look forward to it. I intermittently used spirit ashes in my first playthrough so I will be playing without them. I really struggled with Mohg, and it looking like you'll have to beat him to get to the DLC isn't making me super hype though.

Very much enjoying OG Tomb Raider remake at the moment. Keep getting stuck which can be annoying since I'm trying to play it as if google doesn't exist.

Controls were massively frustrating at first but soon realised it can't be played like a modern game. Positioning for jumps etc has to be done in a very methodical manner rather than just running at a ledge and pressing a button.

Surprised at how little of TR1 I remember. Other than the dinosaur valley (which appeared much sooner than I expected) none of it feels familiar in any way. Have vague recollections of the inside of a sunken/wrecked ship in TR2, and I'm not sure if I even did the 3rd.

Can you still lock the butler in the fridge?

Google didn’t exist but can always buy yourself one of these classic strategy guides.

Lol. That's the first thing I would've attempted.

I feel like I still have a copy of one of those somewhere.

My Megadrive ones are still by the bed, 30 years later. No apologies.

Probably have to buy the remaster, even though my OG cdroms are next to me.

lol
