I was reading that it's a combination city / jungle so you get a bit of both.

I'm hoping for more insanity like Far Cry 2. I've never played a game where things could go so bad so quick in my life.

Far Cry 2 was so much fun, a lot of people seemed to really hate it though. I loved all the enemy dialogue and how they'd progressively get more and more terrified as you picked off their buddies, until the last guy just holed up somewhere panicking to himself.

The fire.

Throw a molotov and it's like rolling dice with a vengeful god.

Also I hope they don't go the voiceless protagonist again, I loving hate that poo poo these days.

I’ve *liked* subsequent FC games a lot more than FC 2 but it’s pretty indisputable that they did a better job of creating a hosed up, frantic combat environment better than any other title in the series.

far cry 2+ is pretty much war crimes: the series

i just hope they do some big shakeup to the play formula after releasing the same game three times in a row

gently caress - I think 2 was the only one I didn't play.

I must have been in Africa for that release or something.

played through to the middle of ep 1



im getting great performance playing in 4k on my 1080gtx



it looks better than it did on ps4 pro. 100%.


i had maybe 3 hiccups? all during cutscenes and it was barely anything. Something thats easily fixed with patches.



its a fantastic PC port and if you're looking forward to HZD on PC then this is def going to impress you.

It looks so drat good. I also have a 1080, and the game runs buttery smooth with all the details cranked up. It's so nice to see a PC port done right.

yup, enabled on 1080gtx.

its seriously been ported over EXTREMELY well. HZD should be great when it comes in November, and hopefully mods start coming soon

Is it enabled by default, or is it something that needs to be enabled?

I'm confused. DLSS 2.0 only works on RTX cards, so it won't be an option for 1080s.

Probably a bug then. DLSS uses the tensor cores that are only available on the RTX cards. Nvidia didn't backport it to 10-series cards like they kind of did with the raytracing functionality.

isnt the new one 2.0? maybe i got 1.0 or something enabled



anyways, if you grab death stranding, just remember its a slow roll of a game. It doesnt open up until chapter 3. It's fantastic and if you havent played it on PS4 the PC version is better and 100% worth playing


it fits really well with the times

It's super collaborative, especially as chapter 3 comes in. Don't worry as material prices for building things goes up because you're not working alone so long as you're online.

Man I am really tempted to get DS even though I told myself I'd work through my backlog. Seems like one of those games where I don't want to miss the early social aspect, such as it is.

i have been playing the Dark Souls III Cinders mods and it makes miracles/sorceries/pyromancies build actually cool and good. I'm running a Dual Miracles/Sorceries build fast roll guy that uses a spear that can cast either.

Its fun but it makes the game too easy.

I'm working thru DSR and DSII at the moment, and when I'm done I'm gonna try cinders out. I like III a lot, but It's way to stressful to pick up and play on work nights.

Big update for NMS is out. It looks fairly beefy :stare:

Procedurally generated derelict freighters with stealable upgrades for your own would’ve been cool all its own.

Yes! But I'm stuck at stupid work. I am thinking about playing it in black and white for maximum Kurosawa but the film nerd in me knows that those movies had a special post process on the film that made them look that way, ie it's not just monochrome. Hearing good things so far.
