    Oh the agony! Galaxy auto updated my install of KSP to 1,2 and none of the mods worked. Never in my life I reverted to previous game version so fast...

    Yeah, I knew it was coming so was prepared ha... really enjoyed the prerelease 1.2 so was excited to see the final released. Most of my core mods are already updated and working. This is truly the game that sucks me in the most.

    Reinstalled GTA V and Verdun.
    Man, after Mafia III, GTA V cars sure handle strange...
    As for Verdun, after playing a couple of matches this is how I basically feel:

    I spent a lot of my weekend playing Battlefield 1, Gears of War 4, and OldSchool RuneScape - my three main games as of late. I played a bit of League of Legends too, but not too much. :)

    I got a very cheap copy of Elder Scrolls online and am having a lot of fun running around in that. Elite Dangerous finally updates to 2.2 today so that is great news. If you have the slightest affinity for flight sims and space this is THE game for that right now IMHO.

    Battlefield 1 is beautiful at 4k.
    And the game doesn't disappoint as well.

    Titan fall 2 is coming out tonight and I am going to have a tough time choosing between the two.

    Also bought bioshock collection and other indie games like Factorio .

    I am playing persona 4g on PS vita, it's been a while since I last enjoyed a jrpg, definitely one of the best I have ever played. The battle system is pretty damn interesting and difficulty is slightly too high but still not to the frustrating level.

    Gonna grab persona 5 when it is released in English

    titanfall 2 runs really nice so far. i dropped a few settings to high and it seems to hold a stable 60fps.

    these are my settings for a 6700k/GTX 980

    Downloaded and played Max Payne 3 which ran beautifully and then downloaded Call Of Duty Advanced Warfare which ran smoothly, then Gears Of War 4 which ran sleekly and then Shadow Of Mordor which has yet be played.

    All the above games video settings were set to ultra and all of them run nicely.

    Been playing DOOM. Really need to finish it, so close to the end.

    After that I am unsure what I'm going to play. So many choices.

    Dishonored is one of my all time favorite games so I have good faith. The gameplay demonstrations do look great. Too bad bethesda does not offer review copies before the launchdate anymore.

    What about Resident Evil 7, the gameplay looks a lot better than RE6 and the atmosphere is actually very creepy and genuinely scary ?

    I normally buy it ever year but I'm done with that, I'm not buying IW. I don't really like CoD anymore. There's too many other, better games these days.

    I pick them up when they're cheap for the single player (which usually takes over a year unfortunately). But lately their single player campaigns have been lacking too. So probably won't touch this one.

    Shockingly nothing at the moment! Have an interest in that Homeworld land based prequel game that somehow escaped me when it came out.

    No interest in playing it on a 260M however....

    I'm getting IW + MW4 remastered for £36 so jumped on it :) Looking forward to playing both.. It's good that I have balance in my life, BF1 for old school and COD for modern stuff..

    Titanfall2 uses the Source2 engine right, It looks so old really but seems like a well made game.
    BF1 looks sick and ultra polished, Gotta see how CoDIW turns, despite the early backlash will definitely play that, modern shooters, Yeah the story might not be good but still the gameplay looks interesting and polished as well.

    Put a pause on DOOM for now, 2/3 of VEGA & Argent D'Nur levels are left. No FPS game ever can match the DOOM's speed and exhilarating experience ;).

    I really don't know what to make of the ending, would love to hear your thoughts when you finish it.

    started playing COD:IW and so far SP seems to be holding very close to 60fps at 1080p while MP is stuttering heaps...not sure if it's my connection though.

    It was a joke. It look as dated as Fallout 4, get it? Okay... Maybe not that good of a joke...
    With those graphics it should hold more than 60FPS tho...

    they do. it averages around 90fps but i have seen it peak to nearly 120fps. i just have it synced to 60fps...maybe i should just cap it via nvidia inspector.

    I may have been suckered into buying IW but not enough to get the damn MW remaster.

    I though that the MW remaster was why some people bought IW, just to get MW remaster?

    Resolution scale is at 100%. Some settings were knocked down like particles, tessellation, and AA. The fov is at 90 and the textures are maxed out.
