Any PC Gamers Around?

That part I can totally agree with. I loved the sea battles and roaming but all the other games just had the worst traveling experiences. It was SO boring. At least with Just Cause 2 and 3, I could blow whatever I wanted to up for funsies

That is super cool and I can appreciate that. I know that if I ever have a kid(s) in the future I would like them to be gamers so that if we are split across the country or world I have something that I can keep in touch with and stay a part of their life

Just saw that Valhalla and Legion will be on Uplay+ at launch.
$15 per moth to play through both games?

Sounds good to me.

Oh damn, that's actually a really good idea...I bet I can get through Valhalla in a couple of months and pay half the price. Even if it takes me 4 months, that's what I would have paid anyways

Lol, Cyberpunk 2077 has been delayed again. Now 10th December release. Some people are going to be salty.
Seriously, I wish this was the biggest concern to have.

the release date is in the title..........2077 Dec 10

After about 1 hour of playing Watch Dogs Legion I have these impressions:
The modelling of London is freaking amazing.
Having said that the....textures? the style of colour? the "look"? reminds me a lot of The Division 2. That is, it looks like they reskinned TD2 to make London.
It feels like the last WD game.

Something I don't cope with terribly well is having a lot of buttons to contend with. Watch Dogs Legion tells you on screen what buttons are contextual (like all Ubisoft games I've played recently) but I still need to look at the keyboard sometimes to find the appropriate button.

Lots and lots of exploring to do.

Big navi looks to have excellent rasterization performance for the $.

Yeah. It's good to see some competition again from AMD. I am tempted to get an AMD card just to support the underdog although I suspect there won't be a huge difference in the price of Nvidia's corresponding cards once they finally get to Aus.

I'm enjoying getting in a car and setting it to Auto Drive so I can sit back and take in the sights like the typical tourist. So much to see!

Wow. This better be the final delay.

Agreed. I've always bought AMD (since the EGA Wonder Card) but in the past 15 years or so (because of cost) I usually buy one generation back, or one level down from the top, where they have always been reasonably competitive at least for my needs.

I got Odyssey when it was on sale last month. damn this game is good. First AC game for me. I love all the detail they put into the world and the historical characters.

I am definitely going AMD because of the "Rage Mode" boosts you can get by using AMD chip and AMD GPU. Plus, the 6800XT is cheaper and comparable to the 3080? Sign me right up for that!

I have always been an Nvidia fanboi because of how terrible the AMD drivers and GPU's were, but I am really hoping these turn the tide.

After just 28 hours of play I have finished the main quest of Watch Dogs Legion. There are still a lot of side quests to carry out but there isn't much difference between the main story and side quests.
It is not a bad game but it is just a (very) prettied up version of WD2. I will wander back in every now and then to just kill some time but if one were interested in the game wait for it to go on sale. I will give it 6/10.


I bought Chernobylite on Early Access. It is a blend of S.T.A.L.K.E.R., the first 2 Metro games and a tiny bit of Escape From Tarkov. I am thoroughly enjoying the level design but I still haven't quite grasped the game play. There is some crafting, daily missions (offline) and survival to contend with. I think the game is a little bit clunky but given the price, hang on a sec, I paid Aud$28, it's now Aud$40. Let me start again. Given the price I paid for it I thought it was good value even if it is a bit rough around the edges.
