Now, Dishonored 2, (I think, i have to play it twice, 1st with Emily, and 2nd with Old Master Corvo)

 

I have barely started both games on PS4.  I know they should be good but i just cannot seem to seriously get into them for some reason, even though i KNOW they are the type of games i like. 

 

for dishonored 2 double playthrough...

Spoiler

i dont think there is much point to playing twice, the reviews said it is not worth it... unless you really must do it, and want a slightly different experience...

 

 

 

for now i am  playing telltale games - gonna play new batman episode now.  

i really like short story driven games they release - walking dead is the best, borderlands and game of thrones was great fun too. 

 

I am waiting for new uncharted - that i would play.

Man, I can't get into Oblivion anymore. As much as I'd love to replay it, it seems to be the buggiest of the Elder Scrolls games, and is arguably the worst when it comes to modding and instability. I can only hope that Skyblivion development progresses well enough, as I've been watching the devs do live streams on YouTube. Don't know that it'd be any less buggy though. :p

 

As for games, currently playing:

 

Skyrim: Special Edition

Overwatch

PUBG

FFX Remastered

Pokemon: Omega Ruby

Really Really Bad Chess (mobile)

I was playing regular old vanilla TES IV so I didn't have any issues with crashes etc, but it was just to satisfy that adventuring itch I had. I really dislike the Oblivion sections of the game, but I love exploring Cyrodiil. No doubt Skyblivion / Wind will be buggy, but who knows when they will be released! We might have TES VI by then :p:laugh:

Have been learning how to play League of Legends with a friend of mine here lately.  It's actually quite fun, :-)  We live streamed a few games earlier just for fun.  Apparently I need to crank up the volume of my mic.

 

My favorite moment of this is at 23:10

Pretty good!

 

The only thing I'd suggest is maybe put an overlay up on the stream, juuust in case you get any personal notifications before you start a game.

Playing some GTA (playing through it again on my Xbox One) and some Titanfall 2 occasionally. I'd like to revisit the SP campaign too and get some of the achievements and helmets.

Castlevania LoS 1+2

Fable Anniversary

Donkey Kong Country Returns

Splatoon 2 - finally decided to tryout the game with my 4G hotspot and my god it's awesome :D I've heard a few of the UK networks don't work with matchmaking, but I was very happy mine worked flawlessly!

Super Mario Galaxy 1+2 - I'm still in love with the OSTs 10 years later. Nothing comes close to besting them :heart:

I can't for the life of me find enough time to finish the Witcher 3, over 114hrs in so far and I don't think I'm half done. :p   Work keeps getting in the way!

Well then you will have to quit work then! :p You will have enough time to play then! :rofl:

I think I finished it in 120 hours. I did not have the patience to do all the side quests though  but I did many.

 

The expansion packs are really cool also. That is another 40 or so hours

Yeah, I bought the GoTY edition off of GoG with the two DLC backs from the start, which is why I'm doing all the side missions to get my level up to the 30+ i need so I can do these DLC missions that are listed, I'm only at lvl 26 atm, too hard to try any lvl 33-35 DLC stuff.

Well, don't give up.  This game expansion packs are superb :)    Also, much better when you binge, or at least play in 2-3 hour intervals, rather then short play sessions.  I finished it when I was home sick.   Made me forget I was even feeling sick.

I finally got around to get a switch and play Breath of the Wild, I was wondering why "everyone" was so excited about that game... It's not bad, but I have to say, the main advantage I find compared to every other open world out there nowadays, is the fact that I can take the switch with me and keep playing on the train when I go to work. Otherwise I'd feel like the game is too slow and the map is to big for me to enjoy with the limited time I can afford for it, just like all these other open worlds.

The Frozen Wilds expansion dropped for Horizon Zero Dawn a couple of days ago, I like what they've done, Aloy has always adjusted her walk/run fluidly to match her environment. In FW, it goes further, she wades through heavy snow, and leaves tracks and ruts up to a foot deep in the tundra. New machines to kill, a word of warning, tried and tested methods of old game do not work, on the hardest setting, you'll be hilariously out matched. New content, new weapons, new armour...

    • Microsoft Weekly: Surface Laptop Ultra, Windows 11 context menus, Build 2026 recap, and more by Taras Buria This week's news recap is here, with Microsoft announcing the new Surface Laptop Ultra, fresh chips from NVIDIA for Windows on ARM, a no-build week, fixes for Windows 11's context menus, gaming news, reviews, and more. Quick links: Windows 10 and 11 Windows Insider Program Updates are available Reviews are in Gaming news Great deals to check Windows 11 and Windows 10 Here, we talk about everything happening around Microsoft's latest operating system in the Stable channel and preview builds: new features, removed features, controversies, bugs, interesting findings, and more. And, of course, you may find a word or two about older versions. At Computex 2026, together with NVIDIA, Microsoft announced the Surface Laptop Ultra, its most powerful laptop to date, powered by NVIDIA's RTX Spark processor. Details about this computer are currently scarce, as Microsoft has only revealed certain parts of its specs. So far, we know that the computer has a 15-inch mini-LED display, a rich set of ports, a powerful processor, and all-day battery life. It also comes with a new wallpaper, which you can already download here in full resolution. The Surface Laptop Studio is not the only NVIDIA-powered Surface, which Microsoft unveiled this week. At Build 2026, the company also debuted the Surface RTX Spark Dev Box, an odd-shaped desktop with a 20-core NVIDIA Grace CPU and an NVIDIA Blackwell RTX GPU with 6,144 CUDA cores and fifth-generation Tensor Cores with FP4 precision, connected via the NVIDIA NVLink-C2C chip-to-chip interconnect for high performance. According to Microsoft, it can run models with up to 120 billion parameters locally without relying on cloud GPU infrastructure. These two new Surface devices are likely to cost quite a lot, and for those who need a more affordable device, Microsoft is preparing the next-gen Qualcomm-powered Surface Pro and Surface Laptop. This week, details about these two devices leaked in plenty of detail. Other announcements at Build 2026 include the following: Microsoft unveils new security tools for IT admins and developers building AI products Microsoft announces Scout, an OpenClaw-powered personal agent for enterprise customers Microsoft unveils MAI-Thinking-1 reasoning and MAI-Code-1 coding models Microsoft announced a new Windows 11 native command-line utility Microsoft unveils Majorana 2 quantum chip, accelerating commercial timeline to 2029 Microsoft believes that AI agents will eventually replace apps through Project Solara Microsoft introduces Web IQ, a Bing-powered search system built for AI agents Last week, Microsoft released a new Experimental build, which introduced a major Start menu upgrade. It now lets you toggle off specific parts of the menu without affecting other features, resize the menu, and hide additional UI elements. We published a closer look here, so if you want to know what Microsoft is cooking without enrolling in the Insider program and installing unstable builds, check it out. Speaking of new features, many users are very annoyed about the way Microsoft delivers them. Recently, a frustrated user shared their experience with gradual rollouts, and even Microsoft engineers admitted there is a flaw in the system that prevents new features from applying properly. One of those new features includes the ability to uninstall AI models in Windows 11 with a single click. Windows 11 is finally getting fixes for its slow context menus. Marcus Ash from Microsoft confirmed that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are going to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." According to Marcus, Microsoft will share more details soon. Windows Insider Program Windows 11 preview builds, released last week, are now available for download as standalone ISO files. These days, Microsoft regularly pushes new images, allowing users to clean-install its recent Windows 11 preview builds faster and easier. If you want to try the latest Windows 11 features without jumping through the Windows Update hoops, get those new images here. Sadly, Microsoft did not release new Windows 11 preview builds this week. Come back next time. Updates are available This section covers software, firmware, and other notable updates (released and coming soon) delivering new features, security fixes, improvements, patches, and more from Microsoft and third parties. Microsoft is preparing new features for Teams. Later this month, the messenger will receive a new download manager with auto-dismissing notifications, reducing clutter and making the overall experience less annoying when dealing with downloads. Mozilla released Firefox 151.0.3, a new bug-fixing update for the browser. It is a small release, which fixes problems with pasting into text fields and the oversized VPN button on the toolbar. The update is now available for all users in the Release channel. Here are other updates and releases you may find interesting: VS Code 1.123 introduces massive upgrades for persistent AI developer workflows Microsoft OneDrive is getting a simple yet much-needed feature Microsoft faces heat after quietly blocking promised Office features on Apple systems Microsoft resumes forced Copilot app installation on some Windows PCs Browser vendors pen an open letter to Microsoft, saying "enough is enough" Here are the latest drivers and firmware updates released this week: AMD Radeon Software 26.6.1 with optimizations for F1 25: 2026 Season, World of Tanks: HEAT, and various bug fixes. Reviews are in Here is the hardware and software we reviewed this week Steven Parker dropped more mini PC reviews this week. GEEKOM Air12 2026 Edition is a low-power, affordable computer with an Intel Tiger Lake Pentium Gold processor, up to 16GB of memory, and 512GB of storage, costing just $349. It is light, quiet, energy efficient, and has modern ports on the front. However, the front-facing USB Type-C is data-only, and there are some quirks with the computer's memory, so check out the full review. The AMD RX 9070 GRE has been released worldwide, and we published a benchmark review comparing this powerful graphics card to the RX 9070 XT, 7800 XT, the NVIDIA RTX 5070, and RTX 4070. It has solid, balanced performance, plenty of RAM, and low temperatures, but watch out for mediocre ray tracing performance and not the best efficiency. Also, we reviewed the Cuktech 10 Ultra, a compact, high-power charger with four ports and a big display full of various stats. This tiny charger can pull nearly 120W and spread that power according to each connected device's needs. It also comes with a high-quality 240W cable, three power modes, and retractable prongs. The best part? It is quite affordable, just make sure you have an outlet placed in the right spot to benefit from the built-in display. On the gaming side Learn about upcoming game releases, Xbox rumors, new hardware, software updates, freebies, deals, discounts, and more. Do you remember the ASUS ROG Xbox Ally, Microsoft's first handheld console designed in partnership with ASUS? This week, ASUS revealed a new version of the device to celebrate twenty years of its Republic of Gamers brand. The new ROG Xbox Ally X20 features an OLED display, a transforming D-Pad, TMR sticks, and other changes. However, the chip inside the console is still the same. Forza Horizon 6 launched last month to critical acclaim, but the game will soon have a new rival made by those who used to work on Forza Horizon titles. Mike Brown from Maverick Games announced Clutch, an upcoming racing game with a story-driven campaign, deep car customization, and rich multiplayer. The game is coming to PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 in Spring 2027. The next update for Minecraft now has a release date. This week, Mojang announced that Chaos Cubed will be available on June 16, 2026. In addition, Mojang published a teaser of the next Minecraft movie. A Minecraft Movie Squared has now been confirmed for a release somewhere in 2027. NVIDIA GeForce Now is getting 18 new games in June. Those include Jurassic World Evolution 3, Fatekeeper, GOALS, Gothic 1 Remake, NTE: Neverness to Everness, and more. If you are a Game Pass subscriber, you can also get new games soon: Persona 5 Royal, Starseeker: Astroneer Expeditions, and more are coming to the service this month.

    • Let's goooooooo! I've been loving the entries so far! I still have to finish Rebirth (things have been busy!)! Excited for this next installment.
    • "Revelation?" I was hoping for this episode to be called "Reunion". Oh, well... In a related note, the Final Fantasy VII compilation has received an EC entry, short for Ever Crisis. For those who don't know, it already had AC, BC, CC, and DC entries, short for Advent Children, Before Crisis, Crisis Core, and Dirge of Cerberus. I hope it doesn't get an FC entry becaude that would be a freakin' crisis.
