God of War Ragnarock - great game but the ending felt a bit flat.

[Lee909]

Gotham Knights

Waited and got it cheaper in sale. Glad I did, its a complete pile of shit. Movement is wonky, the grappling gun system is shite. Changes your target at the last split second so you grapple off the wrong direction. The mission have side objectives take down x villains silently. You do it and it completely ignores you have. Doesn't explain shit properly in regards to leveling up etc. 

 

How they had a base in the Arkham games and fucked this up so badly ill never know. 

 

Got to say this generation of consoles feels a right let down so far. All the wait and issues getting your hands on them with scalpers and very few good new AAA titles have been worth the wait. Cyberpunk ended up decent after a year of fixes, but most new games have failed to deliver that I've tried. And so so many remasters of the previous generation games

Honestly, I still don't really feel like this generation has begun. There's been little that hasn't felt like spruced up cross-gen. Covid has obviously had an impact, but that wow moment when you play something that you couldn't imagine on previous consoles just isn't there.

Witcher 3 remastered looks great. Love this game.

Runs like absolute dogshit on PC, sadly. Think I'll wait and see if they patch it up.

Isn't it having issues with performance or is that limited to PC?

That's that answered.

There's a Digital Foundry video on it. Haven't watched it, but apparently it's very CPU bound and only really uses a couple of threads, which is a bit rubbish.

 

 

DX12 yet again is a stuttery mess.

[TD_LFC]

Well since it's free I might give it a go on the PS5 (suck it PC losers)

 

I've tried to re-play it a few times and it's not stuck the same way it did originally I tend to get bored once the Red Baron storyline wraps up and move on to something else but remember playing it non stop when it first came out.

 

Just checked my most played games on Playstation and I've put about 445 hours into it over various play throughs, surprisingly it's only third behind Skyrim (937 hours) and Fallout 4 at (833 hours). 

 

That seems like a lot of hours....it is a lot of hours.

It's a free patch for Witcher 3 owners, to be honest, I'd rather roll back to the original, that ran fine.  Looks like you like your open world RPGs... I put about 170 hours into my main Witcher 3 playthrough. Not sure you'll beat my play time on Melvor Idle though-

 

[TD_LFC]

There are Chinese gold farmers with less hours!!!!

 

[Mudface]

To be fair, it's an idle game. You don't really play it, just let it run in the background and make a few clicks a few times a day.

Witcher 3 runs brilliantly on the ps5 on performance mode had no issues at all apart from a floating spoon in one scene.

Spoon might be fucked but what about moi pan.

[cloggypop]

There is no spoon

[Mudface]

The spoon is a lie.

 

Think we need another thread on the current crop of ray tracing games. Portal RTX is incredibly intensive, to the point where a 2 grand card can't hold 60 fps at 4K, and the top AMD card produces a slideshow (it is an nVidia developed game though, so not entirely surprising). This is an 8 year old game too- I'm not entirely sure the difference is worth it, but it's interesting tech at least.

[Bobby Hundreds]

Graphics mode on console games I've played have never been worth the framerate drops. Ray tracing doesn't seem like it's worth anywhere near the effort.

After initially being very impressed with God Of War Rangorak. I'm pretty bored with it around 9 hours in. Tempted to sell it and but Sekiro instead.

[Babb'sBurstNad]

Getting a bit bored of Forbidden West. It's good, but suffers the usual open world bloat. Plus, the voice actress for Aloy is starting to get on my tits. It's as if they told her to whisper everything with a breathy exhale, like it's a Flake advert or something.

 

Also been playing It Takes Two on Game Pass with my nephew. Such a fun game, full of invention.

[Bobby Hundreds]

I still ain't finished zero dawn even though I like it. Didn't finish the Assassins creed Viking one. I like big games but they have to make use of it like the witcher 3.

[cloggypop]

I'm not sure I'll ever finish the Viking one. Every time I think I'll give it another go it seems to have grown again like an unstoppable amoeba trying to take over the hard drive.

I just can't get on with AC games. They've just become unnecessarily huge with each new iteration. Who has hundreds of hours free to put into one game?

 

[Elite]

Been playing Star Wars Fallen Order as it's free on PS Plus. Decent game.

I love It Takes Two. 

 

So fun, full of charm, the perfect length. Can't wait to see what the studio put out next.

Played it with the youngest during lockdown and whilst I was isolating.

 

A truly beautiful game.
