The last one, whatever the hell it was called, was pretty awful. But I replay the other ones every few years.

I got my hands on a PS4 and have subscribed to the monthly thing for now that gets you access to 72 billion, zillion games. So, I've been playing just a) God of War (really good, but as someone else said earlier, a bit too on rails) and b) Horizon Zero Dawn (which I LOVE). The gazillion games will have to wait.

Bringing out a side of me I'm not sure I like...
Mrs SI had to come through, take my headphones off and tell me I'd been chuntering away going die ya twat and sit the fuck down ya Nazi bastard etc
If you think that’s bringing out something dark, best stay away from VR and the likes of Gorn and Blade & Sorcery.

I've taken the plunge and pre-ordered Ge-force Now 3080. A little on the expensive side at £81 for six months, but graphics cards prices are still totally bonkers and I do want to play at 1140. It's a shame as other then a lack of GPU, I've actually got quite a decent PC for the first time in years. Looks like I've got two weeks to wait before I can use it, which is slightly frustrating, but probably for the best as I've an exam before then.
Although it's supposed to be flawed, I do rather want to play cyberpunk and it seems a great game to test the service. Went to faff round finding a discount code, but Steam had it at £25 which is a bit of a result.

How long will it take to activate your RTX 3080 ? I ordered mine end of October and only got mine last week. I look forward to hearing what you think
I think you'll be surprised at just how good it looks / plays, Im even thinking about getting an nvidia shield pro, to be able to get 4k at 60hz.
ETA sorry you already said 2 weeks doh.

Payment date is 19th December, so hopefully shortly after that. I didn't realize they were doing 4k to the Shield's, I suppose there's no reason then it couldn't be pushed to other devices at some point. I've got a 1440p and a 4k screen on my PC, but tbh, other then resolution the 1440p is a much nicer screen, so I'll be happier playing on that. Couldn't be interesting if I choose to upgrade the TV at some point.
I do have quite high hopes for it, it's one reason I've chosen a game that I know would bring many PCs to their knees to play with everything on a decent setting with ray tracing. I get pretty good internet here and I've played with the basic GeForce service and Stadia so it should hold up.

Don’t you have to be on a 4K screen if you want to take advantage of the ray tracing stuff?

I believe it works fine at all resolutions. Better really for most at lower resolutions as its just so demanding to do both 4k and RT.

Really frustratingly I got access to GeForce Now 3080 last night, but not until late, to late really to go and log on. Shame as it would have been the perfect Sunday afternoon. Out tonight, so maybe tomorrow I'll finally get to play Cyberpunk.

Been playing Cyberpunk on and off for a couple of weeks, but it's getting a bit annoying - the driving is terrible, shooting isn't great either, and there's too many long conversations that don't actually move the story forwards.

I finally crumbled and bought a Switch... I've been playing Pokémon Sword and my eyes have gone square. The last Pokémon game I played was Pokémon Red. How times change.

Played The Gunk today. It's by the people who did Steamworld Dig games I think. Only played a few hours but pretty nice so far, pretty chilled, relaxing. Looks great and I can tell already that it'll be a nice progression curve (which is what is really good about the SWD games).
Oh, and it's on Game Pass obv.

The Switch isn’t the best console but capable in some areas. What type of games do you like? I had great fun with Rayman Legends with my son on it if you like platformers in co-op.

Spent my first evening of gaming in ages last night. More impressed then I even expected to be with Geforce Now 3080, playing a single player game, I noticed nothing that didn't make it feel like I had a beast of a GPU inside my PC.
Cyberpunk was quite entertaining, whether I'll stay engaged with the plot remains to be seen. And it truly is visually stunning. I never really got the hang of FPS on the PS4 as I don't have the time to invest in it, felt so much more natural to be back using mouse and keyboard. That said I will have to look at other options for driving. Do any PC gamers use both and switch between the two whilst playing?

I'm so glad you like it
If you get Ubisoft connect ( or plus or something ) for 11.99 a month , you get a whole load of pretty good games that work seamlessly, I'm currently playing far cry 6 at 1440p , ultra and it looks great.
I don't really swap controllers and to be honest apart from RTS's I don't use keyboard and mouse any more
and the controller I use is a 3rd party wired Xbox type controller I got from Argos for 19.99
My only gripe is you cant play all your games, so Im going to have to keep my shadow until after I've played Elden ring.

I don't really play enough to justify subscriptions, or at least not in normal times. I bought my PS4 in 2014, so although I've not played loads of games on it, I still don't think I've had bad value from, especially as it did loads of home media stuff as well. Yet, given the current prices of GPUs, GFN does make sense. If retail price was actually thing, then something like a 3060TI would probably just do me for a few years of 1440p gaming.
I might look for a cheap copy of Far Cry when (if) I I finish Cyberpunk, think the last one I played was the first one! Might try and work out the pad thing later, I've got a PS4 pad obviously and think I've got an old 360 pad from the last time I was doing any PC gaming.

To get the ps4 pad working on the pc you need to get DS4WINDOWS , really easy to set up and you can use it via bluetooth if your pc has it.
Also CDKEYs is the site you want to get cheap games

Thanks. I'll have a look. I'll test with a cable, but if if it works well, then Bluetooth adapters are very cheap.
I use an Xbox controller for Forza. Mouse and keyboard for FPS.

I mean in the same game. So play the shooting bits of Cyberpunk with mouse and keyboard and then just pick up the pad when I get in a car.

Unfortunately Cyberpunk driving is just pants, so I doubt switching control methods will help. I play mouse+keyboard and driving in every other game (GTA V, Mad Max, Death Stranding) is perfectly fine - it's only CP2077 that is insanely sensitive.

After taking a look at Steam's top online games by player count the other night, I decided to see what World of Warships was all about, since it's free. It's surprisingly polished and engaging; the menu and other UI is really mobile-like, but the actual game graphics are excellent.

The game itself is well designed and fun, and the art department work their little buns off. The meta-game and publisher/customer relationship are insanely dysfunctional. It's best to steer clear of the Reddit subgroup.

Thanks for this. I tested this with a cable on the PS4 pad, certainly works well, so I've ordered a Bluetooth adapter to go wireless. So much nicer to be able switch between the two. Obviously the driving in Cyberpunk is never going to be a selling point, but it now makes just going for a drive around Night City something I want to.
