    Doubt i can run it, Sniper Ghost Warrior 2 barely runs on this laptop. Thought it would with ease, cause i can max out Crysis 2.
    Then again it's not Crytek making these games, they know more about their engine.

    Wish i could afford it, sadly not an option. It runs many games easily still like GTAV, Rainbow Six Siege.

    Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 runs like balls on my new 1080 Ti at 3440x1440. It runs between 45-50 FPS at highest settings. For the engine it's using, it's not acceptable. It should be much higher than that.

    I started it again. Never got too far the handful of other times I played. It's a major time suck.

    "Looks fine" and "performing as it should" are two different things.

    If you were a fan of Shadow Warrior 2013, you might be somewhat disappointed by Borderlands Warrior 2. I wasn't fond at all of the new direction they took in the sequel.

    I was a fan! I used that samurai sword for the entire game. I guess waiting until it's on a proper sale is the way forward.

    Enjoying Prey right now too. I like it so far. Not very far into the game yet, but it is very reminiscent of Half-Life. Bethesda may have said, screw it, if Valve ain't gonna make Half-Life 3 we're gonna do it for them! haha. I'm not very far in so it may be very different. But so far I like where it's going.

    There seems to be a similar art style to dishonored but with the mechanics of bioshock.

    If you are into tactical shooters game, then you'll enjoy it. The genre emphasize on strategy and taking advantage of how you will control your other 3 AI teammate in campaign mode if you are playing single player. Probably the game have one of the best graphics right now imo!

    Half-Life?
    Hmmm, from trailers I got the impression it was more similar to Bioshock.

    Unfortunately the whole name lawsuit left me completely disinterested in Prey.
    http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2017-05-04-bethesda-lawyers-force-another-indie-game-name-change

    That indie game does look interesting though :D

    Can't say it's very tactical, comparing to heavy weighs of the genre.
    And teammate AI is crap, you are better off saying them to stay put and do everything on your own.

    I just don't understand what purpose does it have over suing an indie company over a silly name, especially considering that both games are in different genres.
    And not only did BugBethesda attracted bad press to itself yet again, but also generated some free attention for the other side.

    As for Prey, I dunno, watched a few gameplay videos, didn't grab my attention.

    Taking a break from ME Andromeda, and playing Prey 2017. I agree with the others, it definitely has a bio shock infinity/ half life vibe going on. I'm half expecting a big daddy to jump out at me :p

    Because in the United States if you do not pursue all known (to you) possible infringements of your trademarks then you risk weakening your legal protections or even forfeiture of your marks.

    It also appears that soundtrack was made by Mick Gordon.

    I will say Prey is kind of a shock to my system. After playing Skyrim, FO4, and ME Andromeda running around by myself makes the game kinda dull for me. That and the fact that I never see my character makes the game-MEH :sleep: I think I care more when I can see the character I created. Of course I will finish playing it.

    More importantly, killjenny1, I love Krieger from Archer (Archer Vice=Amazing)

    playing more prey and i just figured out that you can shoot manual overrides on doors with the foam dart gun. the foam darts even work on the screens so any doors locked through a screen also works.;

    still playing through Nier Automata, I said in a earlier post it might be a masterpiece, who am I to say for sure, but ill be damned if its not a suburb game, the writing of the 'stories' are fabulous I highly recommend it, I've never played anything like it.
