Days Gone, since it just released on gog and I wanted to give a triple a title another shot. It turned out to be pretty good, fun driving and gameplay, and the hordes were terrifying.
Also I was amazed how well this game was running, 4k 144hz butter smooth on a 4070. Kudos to the developers!
I watched the Netflix show, it was fun, so I thought I might check out the animated series. And dropped that idea quickly again.
If I want to reach the newest episode I'd have to watch three hours a day (no exceptions, not even for Christmas or birthday) for 5 (FIVE) months straight. If I was twelve I might try that, but as an adult I don't want to commit myself to so much time.
I never forgot the woman who asked me to look for her husband, I found him, dead, killed by bandits. She was in tears, saying life would never be the same.
Five minutes later I sold her stuff, and she was like "Nice weather today, isn't it?".
That killed every immersion at that moment.
It was Skyrim. It has fantastic moments, but there are lots of moments that kill every immersion it built up on a grand scale.
Dead Space. Ammunition is displayed on your weapon, health and stasis on your suit.
Prey 2016 also displayed your ammo on your gun, but had traditional health bars (it was an fpp game after all).
But I like a good HUD if it's implemented in the story, like Cyberpunk where it's a part of your augmented eyes, like an advanced Google lens. Doom did the same with the helmet.
Regarding GTA V, I never got to know the city well enough to play without a map. That fucking town was just to big for me. But I remember Vice City, I knew the map in and out, and playing without a map was fun!
And now a serious response: it ran, just before the Add-on dropped, on my 4790k and a RX6600 on 1920x1200 flawlessly with no bugs, at 60 fps on high settings. This game is now well optimized, and a fantastic experience. It took a while, but the wait was worth it!
Air. Pfff. That's so yesterday. I don't need that. I want my big SUV, I want fossil fuels, and I want my coal power plant. And while we're at it, dump some radioactive waste in my garden, the glow is nice.
I tried to migrate to Microsoft, it didn't work, support wasn't any help, now it's gone. Bought it in beta in 2011.
Contacted support again, they told me to purchase it again.
Nope. I found other ways.
Fuck these assholes.
