Well, it isn't bad at all, but beware, once you start playing:

- place a lot of notes, for everything, I think that will be good enough
- save before you enter sth, before you speak with someone, save in case you want to test some skill, save a lot
- if you decide to pause the game for a while don't do it with the space key rather exit to main menu

Badass Orphan Fisting Artist... aka Yakuza 0

This is actually my first brush with the franchise, so I figured I might as well start from the beginning of the timeline. It's... uh... interesting with it's beat-em-up + scores of mini-games mishmash. I'm pretty sure I'm spending as much time on the side activities as I'm on the actual main game. As intended, I suppose. Either way, it's fairly entertaining in its silliness - I like how Kiryu takes his fun activities so seriously.

Tried a few other games before that, but dropped them for various reasons:
Sunset Overdrive - Looked like it could be fun, but when I actually played it the whole style and the gameplay just didn't gel with me at all
Gears of War 4 - Aside from repeatedly freezing/crashing during cutscenes for no obvious reasons it just felt way too much like a super-generic third-person shooter.
Fallout 76 - Couldn't even get the game to properly start, and I don't seem to be alone in that. Seems like the UWP version is supremely borked. =/
Oh well, at least I wasn't paying (extra) for any of these besides bandwidth due the the Game Pass thing.

Flight Simulator with Game Pass. Yes I can fly over my house, Microsoft weren't bullshitting. Only put in 2 hours so far just to see it running, will come back to it in a week or so when I finish what I'm playing. It is clearly designed with future PC's in mind, yet I'm getting smooth performance at 1080p scaled to my 2160p desktop and using TAA. Settings at high, but locked to 30fps. I'll play with it more later. I pre-cashed my local area at the highest quality sat terrain, honestly I cannot see the difference between the pre-cashed area and flying outside that using the cloud caching- but my internet is pretty fast.

Screenshots don't actually look as good as the game in motion- due to the upscaling method and TAA which always looks bad when taking a single frame screen cap because you're not getting the AI reconstruction. Trust me, in motion it looks amazing even on a low-mid range system (R2600x, RX580).

Really, over your house? , wow :)

Just add a little changes to the image colors and it will look sharper and better, no one will know how does it look like on your side, I always improve my image colors a little bit, though once I buy a new PC then I will be able to set display profile so I should be able to get the colors in the game what I get now once I improve the image, I hope so.

Anyway, Divine Divinity

4 - long waaaaaaay to get to this monster.

Over the last few weeks I've looked through hundreds of your screenshots. A lot of good stuff in here! Some of you have definitely persuaded me to try and hunt down games I wasn't aware of. Anyway, I figured I'd join in on the thread. These are from Remnant from the Ashes. I just found out about this game and I'm already addicted. If you haven't heard of it, think Fallout meets Bloodborne.

Noticed the game being a freebee at epic but had to pass, nice to see your enjoying it

^^ I wouldn't have gotten it if it was on Epic, I don't need another client. This was a Steam purchase. It'd be nice if it was available on GOG, but I don't know if the developers have any plans for that yet, or ever.

lol, i'm not so bound with the moral obligations anymore, i do frown upon epic but i really don;t have any trouble with their exclusivity gesture... the amount of ' free games' give aways and the quality of the titles presented is something to think about!
=========================================================================================
Went tonight for a little piece of mind in Stellaris, birth of the united federations. this is my first try on the normal difficulty level and as you can see am surrounded by more powerful, older i presume, empires

The picture is taken right before deciding that a galactic council is needed and of course, the united nations did their job in supporting as they should.

The presence of machines with an integrated hate for everything living should ensure this game not to be boring.

Atm i have a nice collection of 3 other empires all in support and trade, one of those even offered a defensive alliance which was a very nice offer

the only thing i regret atm is the galaxy size, scrolling at this point is like a bumpy ride... maybe it will smoothen out a certain point but probably will only get worse...

what would be needed to even out the scrolling is another question.... i9 10900k? 2080Ti? 128 gb of ram running at 3200mhz? if you know the answer

I don't have any issues with Epic trying to get a piece of the digital store front market and I don't have some weird delusions that Steam is somehow less douchey than anyone else. It really does come down to client management with me. Right now I'm already using 3 clients as well as a game I got through the MS store and I HAD to sign up with whatever Bethesda's thing is called just to get the Creation Kit. I just didn't want to stack on another one. I probably should, at the very least, check in on Epic from time to time just to see what deals are going on. Nothing wrong with trying to save money wherever you can.

Always nice to dig up another secret

Hidden pirate lair

" So Pathfinder... care to do a job in between "
" What does a famous pirate organization wants help with ? "
" Well we have an intruder in our ranks, faking orders of the big man himself, got me 2 recruits killed! "
" i'm not the one operating from the shadows "
" yea but the big man ordered me to find the infiltrator "
" your one of the universe most hidden spy organisations, i'm sure you can work something out "

I still think people just love to hate the game rather than properly critique it. I found it to be quite enjoyable. *shrug*

the most popular one i did not understand is the one claiming that the game is not mass effect worthy.... Its a massive undertaking with similar missions as the previous 3 titles brought to us. Granted maybe it did not know the tension of 2 or the whole exclusiveness of the first trilogy but its not that you can say that this is not a ME title. With hints and links everywhere from Cerberus troops to research done by Liara i feel it is quite awesome, bigs and graphical problems aside

There seems to be a whole hate culture going on in almost every corner of the internet now with only a couple of titles that are near perfect deserving praise from everyone. And lets face it, we all know who are the ones who are constant at home spending all of their times into gaming

Take for example the ending debacle in Mass Effect 3, that says enough right? I do hope the people responsible will continu and don't give in to much towards the hate scene before we all end up with games as boring and dull without even the slightest hint of experiments ever

All that hate for EA in general too but as can expected, any change will be met with fierce resistance
