What are you playing at the moment?

All this GT7 stuff has got me thinking.

Driving game I enjoyed most was Need for Speed Rivals. Nothing too demanding: fire it up for a quick 20 minute blast of hooliganism and life is good.

What is the current generation equivalent (PS5 btw) ?

NFS was brilliant until the last 2 (I think). Either that or I got bored. But yeah, the driving was just the right side of a piece of piss and the maps were amazing.
 
Upgraded my Ram by 16gb today. Not sure how much difference it will make but wanted to give it a go as I've never done anything like that before. Didn't fuck it up. :DI

I have a 1tb Hard drive and 250gb SSD that has windows on it. I might upgrade the old style hard drive to a 500gb SSD. Less memory, but will mean that games run faster right?

When I looked it up online it seemed to think that increasing the Ram wouldn't have much affect on gaming. I have noticed a big difference though in stability and speed when playing Civ-6 as I was regularly towards the top end of my available memory. Glad I upgraded! I don't need the 24gb I know, but I already had 8 anyway and it was older Samsung models so maybe that's one of the reasons it wasn't holding up so we'll.

It will make games run faster but I'm assume you don't have many games on that 1tb drive as they are huge these days. CoD:MW is 160Gb on it's own! I've got a 4Tb drive that is half full and that's only got games and all my lossless music for mixing.

I have all my music on my phone through bandcamp.

I have quite a few games around 500gb worth, but do delete them if I'm not using them or when I've finished with them as I only play 1-2 at a time. I use it for gaming and that's it basically.

Past 16GB won't make much difference, but going 8 to 16 should be quite noticeable. Most games will use the entirety of 8GB (because PS4 and whatever the last Xbox was called had that much), so if you've got anything else loaded up it's going to help.

Yep I'm pushing around 9gb when I check now so clearly it was causing issues. Had read about the step up from 16gb above not making a difference so glad I capped it at that. I guess I could give someone else the 8gb if I'm not really using it.
 
Stars Wars Jedi Knight II: Dark Forces. Plays surprisingly well for a fps from 1997, and actually a bit hard.
However I remember the graphics being much more amazing at the time, funny how our perspectives change. :D
 
Grabbed Detroit being human as it was fairly cheap and I haven't got an action game to play at the moment. Want to get the second shadow of morder game too as it's always on sale for a fiver. Looks good on the monitor I now have connected to my Laptop.

Also bought this year's football manager as my 15 year career with Braga ended.

Still slogging through a game of Civ-6 too. Want to get it done so I can spin through X-Com again.

Didn't really get on with Disco Elysium which is a real shame, but I found it a bit slow.

I'm currently playing Detroit: Become Human - it's not really an action game. Much more like an interactive film. Quite enjoying it - a bit different from Witcher 3 which was the last thing I played. Found it really intensive graphics wise though, have turned it down to minimum to get it remotely smooth playing.

I wanted to like it, but the PC port was buggy as fuck and I eventually just gave up on it. It's so easy to get into a point where all your saves lead to a crash.

I've not found any bugs but I do seem to be having trouble keeping the androids alive. Only one left 😬

By action I meant not football manager, and turn based games like Civ I guess. :) I just played the first 2 hours loving it so far. Love the atmosphere. Hoping the bugs don't break it. Will try not to read this thread until I finish it.
 
Valhalla on PS5. I think the graphics are worse than the last few AC games in PS4. Looks like they need some time to master the new system.

I want a PS5 game with amazing graphics.
