Any PC Gamers Around?

Finished GRID Legends. Overall, it is an OK game...Like I said, casual fun, story mode wise. I don't know if I would commit myself to try the career mode. I was also having some issues with my wheel, that lately, for PC games, seems to un-center itself and drive with a slight right turn in a straight line.



I would recommend getting it, but either as a free download, or with a +70% discount.

Im so going to pay full price for “Stray”. Not only because I get to dck around as a cat and knock stuff over. But because proceeds will go to helping stray cats.

Newegg has launched a new website dedicated strictly to GPUs. JustGPU.com

The great thing about it, aside from your options filtered, is that you can benchmark the performance according to the components on your PC. It gives pretty accurate estimates on how your GPU will perform with different tittles.



The site seems to be in beta-testing but it is worth checking out.

Yep, old school approach was to leave ~150W worth of headroom for transients. Especially back when we had multiple 3.5” spinning rust disks in a computer.

That said GPUs and CPUs are getting out of control. I’m quite happy with a 125W CPU and a 220W GPU, and I’ll stick with that until the performance/watt improves again.

At least Intel’s Arc A770 looks to have sane power targets.

Damn, there's a lack of good Single Player first-person/third-person shooters right now and it sucks. I'm monitoring Steam releases and every new fps is just some survival horror/zombie piece of shit. I wonder if someone finally makes a decent one in realistic setting, with great story and atmosphere, like Max Payne or Mafia?

This one is interesting.

Played the demo, the atmosphere is great, the gameplay is fun (didn't expect that from a retro-styled fps), looks like there's an interesting story as well. Plus I like this setting.

Another Single-Player action game without zombies(hopefully). Keep 'em coming!

That has very Last of Us vibes, just hopefully without the shitty writing the second game had and no zombies. People can be scary enough during desperate times.

Have you tried Sniper Elite. The Division 2, Farcry 5/6. Evil Within 2, RE 2, 7-8.

Love Far Cry/Just Cause franchises. I usually end up playing the campaign as an afterthought, just travel around and capture camps/blow stuff up.

I would add to that list any Assassin's Creed or Fall Out game (well 3 or later, 1 and 2 are turn based games which I do not care for).

Sea of Thieves now allows you to buy ships, become a captain, and name those ships.

Happy Friday all!

1. I have lost interest in Sniper Elite after the 3rd part - same crappy gameplay, nothing new in the following titles. Devs picked a low-effort approach of trying to sell the same game with a different decorations.
2. Division is an online game.
3. Far Cry - see #1, same reasons.
4. Evil Within - survival horror.
5. RE - see #4.

None of these satisfy the outlined criteria.

The most recent SP games that I played that has an interesting story and atmosphere was Cyberpunk 2077, and Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War. I can't remember anything else worth mentioning that was released recently.

Fair enough.
There’s also, for a strong story;
Horizon Zero Dawn/ Forbidden West
L.A Noire (oldie but great)
Control
Returnal
Read Dead Redemption 2
Deathloop
Watch Dogs 1-2
