I'm trying out WoW retail again since I get Dragonflight for free now that War Within is out.

 

It's really good. I'm impressed. I went ahead and unlocked the Dark Iron Dwarves, and the Mecha Gnomes. Those unlocks were pretty cool little quest chains.

I've decided to go back and knock off something from the backlog so I'm finally playing Tales of Zestiria (PC), I've always been a fan of the Tales series since it's old 2D battle system days, but man, so much backtracking to do, you can really tell where they've padded the game to make it last longer.

Before this I finished Have a Nice Death (PC via Game Pass), nice little rouge like metroidvania.  It's good to have these smaller games between the big 60hr+ ones IMO.

After finishing ToZ, I'm back into the backlog and finally playing The Division.  It's typical ubisoft open world map spam and I really wish you could have a fully offline mode but no.   Another thing that's weird and something you'd think games like this could do, but maybe because of the online shared world nature they can't?  You'd think as you clear more areas and progress the story you'd see a gradual change in the world, with the hostiles being pushed back and things looking a bit better, but nope.   It's still just "frozen in time",  just a shame.   Another quirk is that the damn enemies are bullet sponges, it's kind of annoying.

Currently playing:

Doom

Doom Eternal

Mass Effect Andromeda (Deluxe Edition)

Serious Sam Classics: Revolution

Star Wars: Battlefront II

I have trouble playing more than one game at a time, but this may change when my PS5 Pro arrives as I've purchased Assassins Creed Mirage, Spiderman 2, Hogwarts Legacy, Metro Exodus, Jedi Survivor and Last of US 2(upgrade) in the sales for £85 so it is only right I give them all a good test on the new hardware!

Except of Mirage - which I played in bit over time…

I got involved in other games and played them all continuously until I finished - maybe played some narrative adventures at the same time with little action 

Only one I did not like was TLOU2 and even then I enjoyed at least some of it a lot

 

enjoy your pro. As I have ps5 already no point to upgrade by otherwise I would have loved to play Jedi, Hogwards and Spiderman 2 from scratch on the Pro

I've got a PS5 already and from what I've seen online the Pro should give me alot of improvements as I have the right kind of TV, the only downside to me is the price! But I caved after initially telling myself I have to be crazy to buy this. My thinking is if a PC gamer upgraded their GPU then there is no reason why I can't buy the Pro as I only game on one platform.

Ok, this is not exactly what you asked for but its good old school gaming. You will have to install the epic game store and on it is the Castlevania Anniversary Collection for free till the 21st. It has the following games:

Castlevania
Castlevania II Simon's Quest
Castlevania III Dracula's Curse
Super Castlevania IV
Castlevania The Adventure
Castlevania II Belmont's Revenge
Castlevania Bloodlines
Kid Dracula (never released in English before)
History of Castlevania - Book of the Crescent Moon

I am running it on a i5 12th gen with 16 GB ram and Iris XE integrated graphics. The system requirements are VERY  low and installed it. It plays fine. 

You can check with can you run it website.

    • Microsoft released new Defender update for Windows 11, 10, Server ISO installations

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Microsoft released new Defender update for Windows 11, 10, Server ISO installations by Sayan Sen Microsoft releases new Windows Defender update packages very frequently to protect against various newly discovered malware. Once a while every three months or so, the company also pushes out these updates to Windows images (WIM and VHD) and ISOs, that are used to install Windows. Hence with the newest Windows 11 update available via the official MCT tool, you should get these definitions. This update package is necessary as a Windows installation image may contain old, outdated anti-malware definitions and software binaries. Aside from better security, these updates can also provide improved performance benefits in some cases. When a new Windows installation is set up, there may be a temporary security risk due to outdated Microsoft Defender protection in the OS installation images. This happens because the antimalware software included in these images might not be up to date. Thus Microsoft says that these updated definitions essentially help close this protection gap. Microsoft delivered the latest security definitions for Windows images via security intelligence update version 1.445.323.0. The Defender package version is also the same. It applies to Windows 11, Windows 10 ESU, Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021, Win 10 Ent LTSC 2019, Win 10 Ent LTSB 2016, Windows Server 2022, Windows Server 2019, and Windows Server 2016. Microsoft writes: "This package updates the anti-malware client, anti-malware engine, and signature versions in the OS installation images to following versions: Platform version: 4.18.26040.7 Engine version: 1.1.26040.8 Security intelligence version: 1.447.236.0" From Microsoft's security bulletin, we learn that the security intelligence update version 1.447.236.0 was released early last month and adds threat detections for various malware like trojan, backdoor exploits, ransomware, stealers, AutoKMS, and more. For those wondering, the latest intelligence update is version 1.451.297.0 at the time of writing.
