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.

    • This new cabinet design lets you run AMD, Intel, and Nvidia PCs inside one case

      By sikhwarrior · Posted

      I think this will appeal to a lot of enthusiasts. If the thermals are similar to those of a single system in a compact case, many people running multiple systems may choose to combine them into one machine, provided the case footprint remains reasonable.

    • This Corsair Vengeance DDR5-6000 32GB RAM with RGB is a great deal for limited time

      By BlueScreenJunky · Posted

      No, "a great deal" for 32GB of DDR5 is $50, not $350. I mean I see what you mean, that it's a decent price compared to what's currently available, but you really should put a disclaimer in this articles explaining that it's still multiple times more expensive than it used to be.

    • Linux 7.1 stable launch looms as Linus Torvalds releases the final release candidate

      By zikalify · Posted

      Linux 7.1 stable launch looms as Linus Torvalds releases the final release candidate by Paul Hill Linus Torvalds has just released what’s expected to be the final release candidate of Linux 7.1, rc7. The Linux founder said that this RC is not small, but smaller than recent releases, which is a good sign because he expects the stable version to drop next week if things continue on this trajectory. Linux kernels see a merge window for the first two weeks of their life, where developers add new features, then there are about seven or eight weeks of release candidates before the stable version. Typically, there are seven release candidates, but if more time is needed, then an eighth release candidate is released too. This week’s RC’s biggest area of fixes was for GPUs, with networking just behind. Torvalds said that the rest of the release was “pretty random and spread out” with some architecture fixes, driver fixes, filesystem improvements, and build fixes for more unusual configs. In terms of specific pieces of hardware receiving improvements in this update, we had more AMD Zen6 models supported and fixes for AMD SDMA 7.1 and GFX11. Hardware that got improvements includes Lenovo laptops, HONOR laptops, and MSI laptops. Here are the changelogs for those: ASoC: amd: acp: Add DMI quirk for Lenovo Yoga Pro 7 15ASH11 Input: atkbd - add DMI quirk for Lenovo Yoga Air 14 (83QK) Input: atkbd - skip deactivate for HONOR BCC-N's internal keyboard ASoC: amd: yc: Add MSI Raider A18 HX A9WJG to quirk table ASoC: amd: yc: Enable internal mic on MSI Bravo 17 C7VF When the stable Linux 7.1 is released, it will be up to distribution maintainers, such as Canonical and Red Hat, to release the update to their users via the update manager. Some versions of Linux will get it before others, and some will never get it at all. Fedora and Arch-based distros will be among the first to get it, though. If you don’t get it, the security fixes will be backported to your system’s kernel, so you won’t be at risk, but you won’t get newer hardware support, which is fine if your computer works now.
