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.

    • Microsoft announces the return of Xbox exclusives with Gears of War and Clockwork Revolution by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft had plenty of announcements to make today at the Xbox Games Showcase celebrating 25 years of the gaming brand. Now, under the leadership of the new Xbox CEO Asha Sharma, Xbox games are going back to their original release methods. She appeared in the livestream itself to announce the return of Xbox console exclusives. This means two major upcoming games from first-party studios won't be coming to PlayStation or Nintendo consoles: Gears of War: E-Day from The Coalition and Clockwork Revolution from InExile. Both titles will only be coming out on Xbox Series X|S consoles and Windows PCs, ditching any plans they had for PlayStation. "These are not timed exclusives," confirmed Microsoft. "We’re committed to investing in and growing XBOX both on console and beyond." The company confirmed that any already announced Xbox titles for PlayStation, under previous leadership, will continue to arrive for the rival platform. This means games like the new Halo remake, Forza Horizon 6, Fable, and State of Decay 3 will still be available on PlayStation, either at launch or later. It sounds like any new projects announced by the company will avoid other consoles in the same way. Microsoft first opened the floodgates by bringing titles like Sea of Thieves, Grounded, Hi-Fi Rush, and Pentiment to PlayStation and Nintendo consoles back in 2024. Since then, almost every new game release from Xbox Game Studios has arrived for rival consoles alongside Xbox and PC. This decision follows Sony's plans to ditch its own multiplatform releases too. Outside of multiplatform live service titles, the PlayStation maker is even abandoning its PC porting endeavors that started years ago.
    • I'm missing the beginning part of this equation... but for the sake of the convo, you don't get to take a $250(?) set of normally priced RAM, jack it up to over $500/600/800 just because of a market shift, then lower it back down to more than what it was originally and call that a "sale". Not the author of this post... the manufacturer/seller.
    • SpaceX has secured a significant cloud-services deal with Google, agreeing to a monthly payment of $920 million for computing power.  This agreement, covers approximately 110,000 NVIDIA GPUs and other components.... https://cio.economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/investments/google-to-buy-computing-from-spacex-at-920-million-per-month/131543026    
    • no thanks is overpriced and its not the fastest ram neither.
    • It is, but it also has a bad performance reputation even on high-end gaming PCs. Some people say it's the engine's fault, others say it's the games developers' fault, who knows... At the end of the day, for the average gamer, the take is this: PC game with Unreal Engine 5? Be affraid and cross your fingers, it's a 50/50 chance.
