I just bought a HP omen laptop with a 3070. I haven't played PC games really since 2015 mostly using my PS4 or ps5. I'd there any of exclusives I should check out? I'll probably check out flight simulator and replay RDR2 since I guess this laptop is a beast but looking for other stuff also.

If you're trying to put the new card through its paces, you could do a lot worse than Cyberpunk 2077 and/or one of the recent Assassins Creed games. Valhalla, Origins or Odyssey.

First thing I did after installing my new card was put on Valhalla on max settings and just rode the boat around for a while looking at everything, it was incredible. Not the greatest game ever but looks amazing, and I have to admit they did an incredible job on ancient England

Couldn't find the 'Forgot the name of a game' megathread, so I thought I'd ask here:

Does anyone know of an RPG where you're a dude on a generation ship? I just remember a lot of rusty corridors and a general run-down feel, but nothing else. It's not Colony Ship if it helps.

All decent to good games, all with very very nice realistic style graphics.

The specific prisoner that you need to find ends up being moved from where you're initially told he is being held captive. If you're quick, you can intercept the transport and get him. He'll point out directly where the Honey Bee is. He shouldn't get killed right away, though.

There are other prisoners in that building that do get killed after the target is escorted away. Those are probably what caused the "[Prisoner Died]" alerts to pop up.

If you don't get to the target prisoner in time, you can follow the convoy and attempt to rescue him at the destination.

Additionally, there is intel in the location where they take the prisoner that will tell you where the Honey Bee is as well.

Spoilers if you want to just know where it is:

When you get to where the prisoner is being held initially, if you keep going down the road, eventually it will bring you to a area surrounded by high cliffs and a cave system made living quarters. It's hard to describe, but the Honey Bee is in one of the further back rooms. There's a little cut out in the wall from the floor to about knee height that is partially covered by something. (A box? I can't remember specifically). Anyway, the Honey Bee is in that little cubby.

It's a lock-on rocket launcher.

You'll be told by Miller not to fire it, but eventually Ocelot will chime in and suggest it may be fun. Your call either way. You get more money the less ammo you fire. That's it.

I played WWZ back on Epic and yeah it’s pretty good. Like all co-op games of its type there’s a fairly hard limit on what you can accomplish with the AI and the late game skills will take a lot of grinding (and winning) but there some really good stuff in the campaigns.

wwz is fine but the "each campaign is a different team of characters around the world" gimmick adds up to not having a single memorable character

Slime Rancher can be "solved" pretty quickly, but exploring the world is pretty fun.

It is surprisingly frantic though. It plays like a first person shooter with a jetpack and lots of vertical space.

It's a nice game, enjoyable, good for a rainy weekend.

I agree it would have been great to be able to bring a New York gang member to an Israeli secret military base or an ADHD French nerd to a Japanese evacuation cruise ship but I think the mini-stories of the campaigns do their job well enough. Like I never thought any of the L4D characters were all that interesting but what I will say is that what L4D did have that WWZ doesn’t is a ridiculous amount of voice lines for the characters, the locations, how well/poorly things are going, and so on. In WWZ you’ll be hearing a lot of the same dialogue.

Thank you. I see the cubby now where it's supposed to be. It's not there. Glitch or did they move it? Is there a cheat where I can just skip this one level? I'm liking this game but this level has been some slog.

yeah like the L4D cast isnt insanely Deep or anything but they've got a lot of memorable lines and good vocal delivery that make them charming

like it obviously isnt mandatory for a fun horde-killing game but vermintide is the gold standard for interesting characters and banter and it absolutely elevates the game

Hm.. that's where I've always found it. How long did it take you to get there and were you able to get to the target prisoner before he was killed? If he was killed, the guards might have found it and are transporting it back to their landing zone.

Found this in the wiki.


The Honey Bee is the central weapon for the mission "Where Do the Bees Sleep" in Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. If the player fails to reach the Honey Bee in time, a sequence of events will follow: If the player fails to rescue Silent Basilisk before he leads the Soviets right to the Honey Bee, the Soviet soldiers will find the Honey Bee after smashing a crate, then drag it out, and then interrogate him to find out if it is indeed the Honey Bee. After confirming it, they then have him face away before summarily executing the POW by shooting him in the back before reporting in to base.[7] Miller will also note his death,[8] and upon the Soviets' report being delivered, Miller will warn Snake about the soldiers trying to deliver it to the landing zone.[9] If the player does nothing and/or uses a Phantom Cigar, they will then be treated to a cutscene where the Soviets are seen loading the Honey Bee container into a HP-48 Krokodil that was alluded to earlier with it flying off, as Miller curses under his breath upon Snake seeing it being loaded before changing to the game over screen.[10]
