Wow, I just had a whole up-down set of emotions. "Free to play? Awesome! Oh wait, I'm thinking of Unreal Tournament...but still, a new run-and-game TDM game! ...hang on, loot boxes?"

 

It's still FTP, so I might give it a go over the weekend. Just pleeeeease don't have the main mode be a Battle Royale situation. I'm absolutely fed up with this focus. I gave Apex Legends a go for all of 2 games before going, "well this is bull..." and I don't care if anyone wants to say that wasn't long enough to experience it, I'm just tired of the genre.

It is classic Quake modes, so no Battle Royale (aside from deathmatch).

Wanted to play WoW Classic this morning.

 

Wishful thinking.

 

You would've thunk Blizzard learned from their mistakes from 15 years ago.

 

They didn't.

They're just preserving the classic experience all the purists wanted. Can't have that without server queues and lots of down time.

Vampyr,  it was always on my list and since it's part of Game Pass for PC I installed it.   It's very interesting how it has a auto-save feature, like most games, but it does NOT allow you to manually save and you can't go back and pick a specific point you want to load.  This means, since it's a RPG etc, that your story choices are fixed, you can't load a older save point and redo a bad choice.   I already made one bad move and now I'm stuck with it till the end.  The only thing you can do is replay the whole game over.   It really keeps you on your toes when key story choices come up.

Gears of War 5 was fun.  Just the basic shoot em up and kill everything that tries to kill you game.  Which is why I like the series.  Looking forward t0 GoW 6 and if the one choice in the game has any impact.

 

Now, I am playing Borderlands 3.  Really fun game so far and the dialog cracks me up. 

Of course since I have game pass on pc i've jumped into Gears 5.  Though as the game was installing, or maybe after it installed I updated my geforce drivers.    I haven't had issues with a game in a long time but something gears 5 was trying to do with my gtx 1070 would make the gfx driver crash and it'd restart, which would crash the game ofc.    Anyways, the help site says to restart your system and check drivers.  After the restart the game played fine and great, finished the first part, haven't jumped in again but I hope this driver crash is now gone.

Just completed Detroit Become Human on PS4 great game but hard work getting the Platinum Trophy as you have to keep replaying it over and over again and i needed a guide to do that, if i knew it would be such a pain i wouldn't have bothered.

Ah ok, I'm more 3+ years at this point, I forget how long exactly.

Woah, I don't think I've played any game for that long! Haven't you kinda hit the end of progression by now?

 

3+ years...well maybe I'll have to give it a go.

Absolutely nowhere near!

 

It's a typical Pay to Win style Mobile game that I've spent absolutely zero on, doing it the hard way takes a lot of time. I've actually just setup a second account  in the last few months that I switch between to try and help support my main account trying to get "stronger".  

 

I'm not going to pretend that the game is amazing, but I've played others like it but this one managed to hold my attention for some reason. I think now I'm so invested time wise that it's too difficult to imagine just letting that effort die.

Speaking of pay to win, I'm still one of those that still enjoy World of Tanks but I break it up with a bit of Division play every now and then.

I never got into World of Tanks but I did love War Thunder

For the last 3+ years the only game I’ve played is a free to play mobile game, something I never expected to happen. I was a PC gamer in the 90’s, Xbox 360 gamer from the mid 2000’s, now it seems I’m a mobile only gamer.


I’ve played Pokemon Go almost daily since the game launched in 2016, surprising as I never expected to play it for more than a month when it first came out.

 

Now the only game I play! I’ve also never spent a penny on the game, however am doing as good as / better than people who have put a significant amount of money in to the game. With a bit of strategy you can easily play for free.


I’ve never played a game on the PC / Xbox continuously for anywhere near this long, so hopefully my enjoyment of the game continues.

Nearing level 36 in life. Start character was ok but rolled pretty crap stats. Canadian server was ok but moved to oceania server and things are a lot more stable. Routinely get my ass handed to me by Flu, anyone have any strats for that guy? Also housing system is kinda crap and the game economy is literally garbage. I'll give it maybe 20 or 30 more levels then find a different game, still interesting but getting a bit boring... also I liked the toddler DLC, keeping it interesting.

    • This is why competition must exist. Finally, pressure is mounting on Microsoft to move in the right direction.
    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.
