Anybody a video game junkie?

Now Starfield is gonna be another 125gb game that takes 100+ hours. lol
I'm more looking forward to Lords of the Fallen, but I think that's not until late october, so I should be able to beat Starfield before then.

Sounds like that AMD FSR3 patch comes out next month. That looks to be bringing some crazy fps improvements. I guess it was a good time to get that new gpu, but we'll see soon.

The Cyberpunk 2077 update sounds pretty cool too, but that's another long game. Maybe I'll check that out closer to the end of the year.

Instead of a new gpu have you tried GeForce Now? $20/month for the top tier with Ray Tracing and can run 4k no problem. Uses a lot of data though so if your ISP caps you on bandwidth then you might have to pay extra. COX charges me $50/mo more for unlimited data, otherwise its a 1280gig cap

I started Hogwarth's Legacy this weekend. Enjoying it so far, about six hours in. I'm a fucking wizard.

Just finished BG3. Good game, but I'm glad it's over.

I'm not sure it deserves some of the scores it got just because of how janky things like the camera control got at times. I also had a couple issues where my saves became corrupt. The only way to fix it was to go back until I found I save that worked. That happened a couple times.

I put a good 94 hours into it though.

I downloaded a camera mod. It's ridiculous that a game which focuses so heavily on exploration doesn't allow you full control to look around.

Nah, I always keep my hardware updated so I've never looked into that streaming stuff.

Unless you already have an RTX 4080 card ($1.2k) you can't beat the value of Geforce Now at $99/6mo. And even online PVP games like Apex feel just as responsive as running it on my PC.

Cons are that it doesn't support every single game, although it does have hundreds if not thousands. And of course you need a fast & reliable internet connection with lots of data.

Games like Cyberpunk look amazing in 4k with ray tracing at 120fps

Anyone playing Sea of Stars? It's not bad.

 

[vbrad26]

Starfield anyone?

I got it with my CPU, but I haven't gotten the key yet. Probably because it's just the regular edition, and I have to wait to next week to play.

I'll add it to the list, it looks like my kind of game.

I got a busy weekend, so I dunno how much I'll actually be able to play it. Scores are coming out now and it's got a 87 so far. It's not as high as people want so there's some that are freaking out over it. IGN gave it a 7/10 so there's a lot of people coming after them.

PC Gamer has it at 75 vs. BG3's 97 lol.

The general consensus seems to be "It's good, but not amazing". It's going to have a rough time considering it's following behind a game that did have that "Holy shit, this game is balls amazing" reaction from nearly everyone. With how wide the release is though, with it on Gamepass day 1, and free given out to anyone who's bought an AMD product recently, just about everyone is going to have a chance to play it though without paying $70 for it.

I’m playing RDR2 again because nothing else excites me.

Maybe I’ll give Starfield a try in a couple of years.
