You should check out Black Ops Cold War, it's quite good and the atmosphere is great (speaking only about Single Player campaign).

Looking forward to MW II release, haven't played a decent Single Player FPS for quite a while.

I did, I couldn't quite play it, just didn't feel good. But I did enjoy the heck out of the weapons it brought to Warzone.



I actually started the campaign on MW II again, but on the highest difficulty, and still enjoy the hell out of it. Have to be even more careful and be approach buildings more tactically.

Downloaded Asseto Corsa on my PS4, it was like $4 for the Ultimate Edition or something like that. Since I do most of my driving on GT7 and I have to constantly fight with the settings on PC. Kind of looks like crap graphics wise and the G29 feels like is not fully compatible with the game, there's a slight delay on turning sensitivity. Is good fun. I'm just waiting for F1 season to be over so that F1 22 goes on sale.





Aside from that, CAPCOM is having a Halloween sale, which means most of the Resident Evil games should be fairly priced, haven't personally looked at the prices. Good fun to have before RE 4 releases, which I am absolutely stocked about.



Good time of the year for games, COD, God of War, Final Fantasy Crisis Core, Dead Space, Need For Speed Unbound, Callisto Protocol, and early next year Hogwarts Legacy and RE 4.

IMHO, that's the only way to truly enjoy CoD campaign.

Not if you're a potato!


Hi, I'm that guy who plays warzone and is a big reason why your K/D is so high. I played the campaign on recruit and still got wrecked a billion times. The dive mechanic didn't work in amsterdam. Jumping from car to car in the desert had me crying in sadness. Oh and just before the very end of the last part of the last mission? I get stuck behind a door thanks to a glitch and have to restart the entire last mission. *facepalm*

So was it fun? Yes. Would I do it again? 30% yes, 70% i'm not sure what level of bored I'd have to be to want to do it again.

Hah, that's me. the Dad in DadHawk literally stands for Death after Death, as given to me by my son KHawk many years ago based on my CoD style.

I also have this hanging in my Game Room/Office....

I dunno, I just selected "Veteran" when I started the very first Call of Duty campaign back in 2003 and I've been playing on the highest difficulty ever since. Got flashbacks from Pavlov House still, lol. Yeah, I get killed a billion times as well, but after a while you're getting a hang of it, just need to think and act fast and try to anticipate the situation. And then you'll get killed maybe a million times, lol. But it's fun AF, at least for me.

Also, the weapon selection becomes crucial. That KGB HQ mission, for example, if you only got RPD with a 100 belt and say AK with a standard 30round mag instead of a 75round drum - that means you'll die the very moment your RPD and AK are empty. Whereas if you had a 75round drum, that extra 45 rounds means that you will have a chance to get through that several feet between you and the cover/next room and stay alive. Also, the order in which you use your guns becomes important as well, taking into account RPDs long reload time.

it's always the stupid stuff.

i've started playing on veteran a few times, but then always need to drop down to something simpler just to get past the playing-cut-scenes like those. in-mission? i can play the highest level and it's almost sort of fun. but as soon as the fighting stops and i have to perform a specific set of keypresses to continue, just log me out.

To be fair, it's probably not the connector; it's the adapter implementation nVidia is shipping.
They seem to have some impressive performance. The way they're approaching their product marketing, and their responses when called on it both reinforce the 'not gonna buy nVidia' thing I have (and I can't even remember why any more)

Have you seen the new crafting mechanic in the newest COD?
