What are you playing at the moment?

Got fed up with Cyberpunk so instead I've been playing Dragon Age Inquisition. Graphics/movement are a little bit dated, but it's great so far - the side quests are a lot less annoying than in other games (Witcher 3, for example) and the story and characters are very good. I've never played any of the series before, so I'm probably missing out on quite a lot of history and character relationships, but never mind.

I completed Cyberpunk last night :(

I knew the main story was short, but thought that was serious gamer short, not me who has problems completing RPGs short. I'd done quite a lot of side missions as actually just enjoyed killing stuff. Even the driving wasn't so bad towards the end after I found a better car. I've gone back to the save just before the end and am playing through some of the many things I missed, but a game is never quite the same when you know that making a gun even more powerful won't help you kill a final boss more easily. I've really enjoyed it though. I'm glad I waited as I didn't find many bugs and on GeForce Now it was stunning.

I'm a bit stuck on what to play next. Whilst the concept of GeForce Now is great I do keep thinking of games I'd like to try, but finding the publishers don't allow them to be there. Those of you who are using it what are you playing? ruffneck23? I could probably do another good FPS as I've been so long away from PC gaming.
 
I'm playing nothing at the moment because windows or the xbox app is broken. It doesn't open any games, just takes me to the windows store every time. There are various fixes out there, all of which I've tried. I can get a game of Halo occasionally but the next time I start it, I get this issue again. It's fucking doing my head in!
 
This GeForce Now thing - pardon my ignorance - but is this basically streaming a game over the web?
What's the latency like? And do you rent games or buy them?

Yes. I've noticed none using a Virgin 100mb line, although I play single player games and not crazy twitch multiplayer. Honestly it's amazing. I'm on the top teir 3080 service and it's like having a stupidly expensive graphics card. What attracted me GeForce Now over Stadia is that you buy the games on Steam and play them through there, so if you stop using it, you still own the games.

At some point I'd like a decent GPU, but honestly if I could play everything on Steam, I'm not sure I'd bother.

Does it have VR support?

I'd usually be thinking of buying a decent new PC about now, but semi-conductor shortage etc.

edit: ah, i see there's also a thing called Plutosphere...

Just completed Far Cry 6, but starting it again as it was more fun than I first thought and looks lovely and is a FPS, Guardians of the Galaxy is also a very good game. Make sure you get the right version of the game, I think the steam version is the one...

I'm finding I'm going back and playing some older games ( Sniper elite 4 , Hitman 2 , Watcher 3.) As seeing them all shiny all over again is great.

I'm pretty sure it doesn't.

Pluto sphere sounds interesting if you use Oculus Quest or Quest 2, I'd not heard of it before.

Yes I'm tempted by Far Cry, although its £50 on the store, although I see it's on CD Keys at £30. Not sure how well that would work with GFN.

My steam collection is so old, that I'd rather play new stuff. Amusingly I got a free copy of Crysis Remastered with GFN. Think playing it the first time was when I last had a half decent gaming PC.

This, it really is great, and is you add ubisoft plus into the mix, youl have another hundred odd games to play, plus most games come out on day 1.

It is such a same you cant play everything due to the wars with publishers but hopefully things will get better, come on Banco, I want to play Elden Ring on it.

A few EA titles are starting to appear now too.

Look at Shadow pc , that supports VR via Virtual desktop. its got a gtx1080 in it which is still a great card.

Get ubisoft plus for a month its 12.99, play it and cancel when you finish it, even if it takes you 3 months, its still less than buying it, plus all the other stuff. it's well worth it and all works with geforce now.

Sorry i sound like a broken record.

I'm also playing that at the moment ( got the same deal), I forgot how much fun it was and looks great too.

Maybe. I'm not sure I'd pay £50 for a game anyway, I never did on PS4, always just waited a while. Suspect my gaming time might start tail of again shortly.

I liked the idea of Eldon Ring as well. I also fancied Doom as I've not played any of the newer ones. Not done Ghost of Tsushima as wanted to see more pretty then the standard PS4 version. Quite liked the idea of Outer Worlds :(
 
On my third playthrough of Skyrim. Done 2H warrior and assassin - now doing pure mage. It's really fun raining fiery death on stuff - though you are fragile.
 
Similarly I’ve started playing Oblivion again. I’ve forgotten most of it so it feels like a new game, albeit with slightly dated graphics. Playing as a mage but did a restart to conjure focus as it seemed I was weak as fuck with destruction.
 
Got a much cheaper copy of Far Cry 6 from one of those key sites. Seems to have activated in Ubisoft which is nice. I was also looking at Metro Exodus, has anyone played it/enjoyed it? It's very cheap and apparently has ray tracing and all that good stuff. I'm just a bit worried it's a bit "survivaly" for my tastes.

I've got metro exodus but not played it yet , but again, make sure you get the right version and I had to pay twice.

It's very pretty but quite depressing so far
 
God of War for PC every bit as good as it should be. With the exception of the memory leak that will crash it after a few hours. It is honestly quite well done barring that flaw. Fully customisable controls, equally at home with KB+mouse or gamecon, good array of graphics customisations where even low looks decent and goes up to "Whoah, awesome". I recommend it if you haven't already played it on PS.
 
Still confused. Do you mean the platform you can play it on? Assume a game can't have two publishers (but accept I may be totally wrong!)
Yeah some games are on both steam and epic game store for example. I got control free from Epic but couldn't use it on Geforce now so had to get it on Steam where it works.

But you can see which version if you search for the game in Geforce now and it will tell you which platform you can use.
 
Im playing through Sleeping dogs on ps4 its a sick game

When i get discharged to supported accommodation im going to be looking to play games online mainly fifa/Pes and mario kart
 
Been playing Far Cry a bit this week. It's okay, but think Cyberpunk spoiled me a bit, I don't find it anywhere near as engaging.
