I started Balder's Gate 3 today. I love the amount of customisation for creating your character, although I don't understand why you're able to strip them completely naked? Anyway, I've got a blonde haired, blue eyed female human rogue... 😜

Joking aside though, it's good fun and gets me my DnD fix.

Witcher 3!

I had started this game many times 10 years when I got it free with my 980 Ti.  

It never grabbed me then, but it has now.  I'm almost at level 9, neck deep in the Crones of Crookbag Bog.  

###### game is huuuuuuuuuuuuuggggggggggggeeeeeee.

Witcher 3 is a game I bought on the cheap for £10  or less many years ago and I never really played it but now I have a PS5 Pro I really should give it a proper go.

I'm currently playing Assassins Creed Mirage on PS5 Pro and loving it.

Witcher 2 - i tried to start it 3-4 times before getting into it,   Witcher 3 maybe twice. 

But when you finally get going and build momentum in those games - damn, its good. It is nice to play GOTY editions with all the expansions for the game to be complete and everything happen organically, at the levels you want.  if you are playing the base game, add the expansions WHILE you are still near the beginning, you will thank me later.

Stalker II what a game!! I never played any of the originals so this is is all new for me. 

I'm just loving exploring the map at the moment the story can wait!

Playing on a quite a recent PC so performance is good and no serious bugs yet so no complaints from me.

I can't deal with how slow KCDII is, i just don't have the patience for so much boring dialoge and fetch and chose quest time.  wow, i wanted to love it and i love some parts but damn it is testing patience without enough reason to motivate me to keep going....

 

anyone finished it yet?

i might come back to it one day, and its good for you since you never played the original but what a let down for me after years and years of waiting and believing their promises.  LOL

Jedi Survivor looks gorgeous and plays fantastic on the PS5 Pro, it's a shame I actually bought it in the sales before Christmas because it's now dropped on PS+ along with God of War Ragnarok which I also recently bought but atleast they were cheap.

I loved Fallen Order, I'm wondering how Survivor will play console vs. keyboard...Maybe I should just get a controller for the laptop...

Why do all of my purchases happen at the beginning of the year?!

I'm about 30 hours into KCD2 and enjoying it. I made sure I replayed the original before hand just to get back into the story.  Haven't yet gone to the wedding but getting close.

Both great games.

I should probably give immortals another try

bought it on day one but after first 4-5 hours I got so bored of the same stuff

 

like there was nothing existing to keep going …

mirage was ok too - never got through it but never felt it was bad in any major way either - above average quality 

 

but immortals - I need to give it another go one day

Finishing up Avowed, and also Citizen Sleeper.   Might jump right into Citizen Sleeper 2 or play the new sniper elite, it's a coin toss.

I keep meaning to finish up Avowed as I love it but then I also just started FF16 since it was on sale so...sigh.

AC shadows

so far - much better then Valhalla for me and I am not losing interest after 2-3 hours play like Valhalla 

maybe it’s the Japanese surroundings but so far I love it

I'd love to try it for the environment/exploration but the AC formula doesn't really work for me anymore.  What I've played of Mirage was fun it was just...bleh.

I finished it up last night, around 74hrs total for me, good times, hope they do a sequel.  Expansion would be hard to do since they don't have a NG+ but maybe a post ending expansion you can jump into with a clear save?    Guess we'll see.

    • It won't perform hugely better than the 3080 unless you're VRAM limited in games. Have you tried putting new thermal pads on them 3080 and giving it a good clean to see if you can regain your temps and overclock?
    • Windows 95 offered the ability to add and edit the right click menus, on a per file type basis. This feature seems to be missing in the new file explorer. Are they bringing it back as a "new" feature?
    • It's nearly time to replace my aging Founders Edition 3080, it doesn't OC as nicely as it used to and it's running around 10c warmer than it did when I first bought it.  I don't have budget for much more than what I spent on the 3080 and locally, that means the best GPU I can manage is a 9070XT. On this basis I have a few questions: 1. At present I don't use ray tracing, if this was to change, would this GPU be an issue? 2. How does it compare on a performance basis? 3. Are the drivers worse or better than those for nVidia? 4. Linux support, is it there? 5. Anything else I should be aware of if I were to make this change? 6. Is it a good idea or shall I try and keep the 3080 a little longer.
    • What OS is that? It looks a bit like Mac OS but the command line suggests it isn't, either way I like it!
