Any PC Gamers Around?

I actually gave FC6 another chance, kinda have to because I paid $60 for damn thing anyways.

I have to say I'm enjoying it a little more, now that I know not to sell my loot for money. Makes it very easy if you invest into the guerilla network because you can fast travel to areas you have never been and loot awaits for you there. I mean you could fly somewhere, but there's anti aircraft guns all over the map, which encourages you to either drive or invest on your camp.

There's actually more stuff to do compared to FC5, they implemented the system from Assasins Creed Brotherhood where you assign a crew to do missions.

Still not perfect, but there are plenty of missions and side quest to keep me entertained and gather cool weapons, which the last FC lacked.


If you really like a vehicle, and want it delivered whenever you want, just take out your phone and scan it. You don't have to drive it to the nearest camp. I now have a tank that I can fck shit up with.

On another topic, the reviews for Resident Evil 4 VR are amazing. I would buy a headset just for that game. Except I'm not looking forward fighting the chainsaw guys and the verdugo. Lets not forget how annoying is to take care of Ashley while on the castle stage.

I own a Quest and a Quest 2. Honestly, I've attempted to play a couple of "serious games" on them but in the end, I find them much better for casual games (like mini golf, or elven assassin). Any game where you have to move around a lot (say Skyrim VR) is just annoying.

The "serious game" exception is something where the player is seated, like flight simulation or racing, and the world moves around them. For those, as long as you have the controls, it's great.

I can see that happening, and you have to move a lot on RE4.

Was Death Stranding any good?

From what I understand is a very story deep type of game. Gameplay reactions were mixed.

Makes sense.

I remember being really impressed by the conceptual design/art in previews several years ago, but once it actually released it seemed to drop off the radar. I sometimes wonder if it would be worth grabbing, or if I even have the patience for something like that anymore.

I haven't completed FC6, or Forza, or NFS Heat, and what did I do yesterday? Managed to get a digital copy of Need for Speed: Pro Street..... It was $9.

I feel Ubisoft did something kinda good for once with this new update:

New intel stuff being teased!?

[villainous_frx]

Anyone else playing Assetto this winter? I'm starting to play again since the track season is over for me, plus driving to California is a lot more difficult than turning on the computer .

Using a Samsung Odyssey+ HMD & Logitech G25.

I've been meaning to get it. But I have to get my hands into a steering wheel set up first. I've heard you can mod it in such a way that you can drive at Mt. Akina *-*

I'm still a bit skeptical about their new Alder Lake stuff. Like yeah, they seem to outperform AMD, but what I found interesting is that they tested most of their products on Windows 11 where AMD is still nerfed. Their prices are competitive, but that is because AMD does not have their own foundry.

I would have to wait and see for real benchmark testing where the playing field is even and see if there's anything as close to the performance/price benefit of the 5600X.

Maybe once Intel does prove that they are way superior on a new generation, I can finally afford a Ryzen 9 5900X/5950X lol.

Intel chips can reach some pretty impressive OC, but they are a little power hungrier, and DDR5 benefits are still pretty new and twice the cost of the best DDR4 which doesn't necessarily make it a must-buy since performance with current hardware is still impressive.
