And I bet McDonalds gets more customers a day than five star diners. Does that make McDonalds better? That game looks gay as fuck. Military weapons plus skinny jeans.... Soy boys trying to have testosterone.....LOL. |

Soy boys trying to have testosterone.....LOL. Your loss. Seriously. It is one of the best games I have ever played and you are really missing out. No other game has ever got my heart rate so high or has been as intense. The only thing I can compare it too is back when I used to do scrims in Counter-Strike and we won a match by 1 or 2 rounds. Even that wasn't as much of a rush. You are missing one hell of a good time by shitting on PUBG. Its easy GOTY. |

I bought Quantum Break for $10.
Same developer as Max Payne 1 & 2 and Alan Wake (Remedy). I thoroughly enjoyed those games and had been wanting to play this one.
Something weird about this one, there are cutscenes at certain points in the game that are actually live action episodes. I skipped the first one because it was too long, but I'm still wanting to go back and finish watching it. They appear to have good production value too. I heard there's a TV show that bridges with the game, not sure if the cutscenes in the game are actually the show.
As far as the game goes, I think gameplay wise it feels a little weak but it's still fun to play and the graphics look great. Sort of mixed feelings but I'm gonna give it a chance just for the story, which is quite good so far.

Since when is 1000fps laggy and choppy? Since I've played UT2004 on Win10! Try Disabling Full Screen optimizations and also High DPI scaling. |

It's weird, it plays perfectly smooth offline, just online is jerky as hell. This is the only game affected. Other games play fine online and my ping was 28ms. Turning vsync on smooths it out but then major mouselag....can't win. I think the game is just too old for modern hardware, OS, and drivers. |

Ok I got it figured out.
1) The old bug with dynamic lighting causing stuttering is still there from the 8800gt days (need to disable it)
2) Needed to set MaxClientFrameRate=120 from the default 85 to lower input latency
3) Needed to set KeepAliveTime=0.03 to compliment the above setting
4) Have to manually set a netspeed over 10000 (10001 and up) after entering a server to unlock the framerate so I just bound n=netspeed 15000
Plays perfect now. No input lag AND no stutters/jittery looking framerates.

Since I play so much PUBG I have been slacking on Dishonored 2 for months. Finally making my way through the game pretty sure I only have 1 or 2 levels left.
When I was younger I used to play Thief total ghost mode, meaning no knockouts and preferably no detections at all.
I don't have the patience for that. I choke people out all the time.
Made it through almost the whole game and only killed 2 dogs, everything else has lived.
I just finished this huge level and looted just about everything except I found some safe and the combo was nowhere to be found.
Did a once over of the whole map trying to find a book or scroll but no dice. Oh well. So annoying to miss that one thing.

I beat Wolfenstein II a while back and it unlocked another difficulty level called Mein Leben. One life, no saves and if you die it sends you back to the main menu. When starting a game with that difficulty in a new slot, it stays empty.
Also beat Quantum Break, it took 12 hours including watching the live action cutscenes. All in all I thought it was a very good game, the story was really what kept me playing. Gamespot only gave this game a 6/10 and I actually agree with their criticisms of it but I still enjoyed it.

I finished Dishonored 2 tonight. Streamed a bunch of it on twitch.
Played as Emily and Low Chaos my first playthrough. Plenty of knockouts but no killing besides 2 dogs which had me cornered. Since I killed almost nothing got the good ending.
Going to play through it again as Corvo this time and I am going to kill everything hostile for the bad ending.
Also overall I would say Dishonored 1 is a better game. If part 2 is 8/10 then part 1 is 9/10. Both good games but the first one feels more cohesive. One amazing level near the end of the game I am looking forward too again.

After not playing much in the way of games the last few days I got back into Path of Exile. I play it the same way I play WoT.
I won't think about it or touch it for months then I will just grind the hell out of it.
Also for extra fun go into the global chat and be like "Diablo 3 is way better then this" Then sit back and watch the rage.

I got into the Battlefield Incursions alpha test. Never even heard of that shit.
I downloaded it and basically it is bringing CSGO/Rainbow Six Siege style comp play into Battlefield.
It shows how janky and awful the combat is in PUBG. My first match I got 8 kills. No idea what the fuck I was even doing and i went 3rd on my team. Just smooth and fluid.

I started playing through the Max Payne games again, skipping most of the cutscenes though. I'm on the 2nd one now and I remember how impressed I was with the combat, they really improved upon the first game. Had to get widescreen patches for the first 2.
Can't wait to get to the 3rd one, I remember it being really good.

It was a bonus on disks I got from DELL in 2012 as part of a PC purchase. The voice acting was the best. I was watching that insane(ly) awesome show Happy! and the lead character reminded me of Max. Keeps getting hurt and bloodied beyond belief, abuses substances, soldiers on. Ex-cop turned bounty hunter. Though he also reminds me of Monk from the TV show of the same name in the way he delivers his lines, and is a cop who's gone off the rails. |

There's a part in MP2 where you play as a different character (Mona) and it runs parallel to before when playing as Max, I thought that part was good. The levels are huge and very well designed and the physics are great too, I remember this game actually being pretty groundbreaking when it came out in 2003.
*edit* Beat the 2nd one, started the 3rd one.
I thoroughly enjoyed the 2nd one, it was great. I was reading that it won a lot of awards but sold poorly. Might've been because back then the PS2, Xbox and Gamecube were dominating. They did port it to Xbox and PS2 but I guess it didn't sell well on those either.
*edit* Started playing MP3, the shooting is great but there are some annoying bugs and I hate that you can't jump anymore. Still, it has a great story and characters and Rockstar did a great job. I hope maybe they include the character of Max Payne in a future GTA game, that would be something.

Took 2 weeks off of PUBG and tonight me and some regulars(not SCMB folks) had I think the most ridiculous game I have had.
At one point we were outside the circle with 2 people down with people camping the end of the bridge. Another point someone fucking 1 shot me with the SKS from 500+ meters away(not hacking I watched the replay)
Game ended on the mountain and I had 11 kills, drew had 9 kills. Not my highest kill count but prolly my best performance, someone even called me a hacker in open voice chat. lol.

I just played and completed DOKI DOKI Literature Club, a free game on Steam which, at first glance, is one of those anime dating games, except it isn't but that's all I'm spoiling. If you have 3-4 free hours (depending on how fast you can read), you should give it a try, it is free after all. Just don't read up on it...
I learned about it from Zero Punctuation but I shut off the review and started playing the game before he spoiled anything as well, and I'm glad I did that.

I'll probably check that out when I get home. Haven't been gaming much last couple weeks. Despite putting 10,000ish hours into the original CS and CS:Source I never actually got into CSGO. I have dabbled in it but as of now I have like 24 hours total played and I have owned it for 4 years. A friend of mine who is really high ranking has got me to play some ranked matches and because he has 1,700 hours I keep getting matched with really high ranking people. Trial by fire I guess. I dropped into a deathmatch just to practice and got called a hacker which is always nice. lol. |

Finished Max Payne 3 last week, I think the last time I played it was when it came out, great game throughout. It's got a few annoying bugs, including one that made me have to re-load from a previous checkpoint several times.
Not really sure what to play next but probably gonna be all the Witcher games, never finished the first 2 but have played some of the beginning of the 3rd one.

I started playing GTA V again to test my new CPU (it runs better than on my old CPU). I had left off on that mission where that sleazy guy (Lazlow) is messing with Michael's daughter in the tattoo shop and Michael gets back at him with the tattoo and piercing guns. That part actually had me laughing.

lol I remember back when the game was still a beta mod for HL1, I shot this guy through the foot with the AWP and it killed him along with someone else who was standing behind him. |

Monster Energy Supercross - The Official Videogame Most graphics settings set to low to maintain 120fps @ 1440p (the games hard frame rate limit) And... Budweiser Tapper (Original Arcade Machine) Haven't played Unreal Tournament in about a week so I better play a few games to keep my skills polished up, lol...

For low settings that still looks very good, it must look incredible with maxed settings.

Finally played Doki Doki Literature Club. I have zero interest in anime/manga but I enjoyed it. Took me 2 hours to finish but I don't think I got every single story line.
