    no need for trick jumps unless you are trying for 100% completion, for the more casual gamer its just a fun game, you can invest more into it depending on your skill level, the "trick jumps" and "harder to reach" areas/hidden zones are not mandatory, but ive found myself looking for them more and more as i improve.

    so what am i saying.......its a fun game fullstop, as a casual its great, if you are more of a Mario veteran it will give some challenges but nothing to bad. :cool:

    Aside from ghost recon Wildlands, 2017 has been a poor pc game release.
    Hope next year is better.

    Haven't really gone beyond the Wii. I have fond memories of Mario 64 but for some reason I have not found my way back to Nintendo yet. If that happens this game will be one of the things that I go to first I'm sure.

    I disagree. Divinity Original Sin 2, Wolfensten II - to name just a couple recent ones. And there are probably many other.
    Wildlands, however, has to be one of the blandest games of 2017. Of course in my humble opinion.

    I heard great things about Nioh, though it's not really my kind of game. Hellblade and Ark seemed pretty well received too. And I'm loving Destiny 2 so far.

    Injustice 2 PC beta is out so I might give it a try and get handed by better players.

    did you turn off windows game mode and windows DVR? That seemed to fix those kinds of issues for many.

    You running in windowed or fullscreen mode? Switching to fullscreen solved this problem for me.

    Is it worth grabbing this if already have Watch Dogs 2? I seem to recall the line that the sequel was better in many ways. I got a code for it for free when I bought a 1080 notebook, never have installed it yet though, only redeemed it.

    I suppose there's no harm in adding it to the library even if I never play it.

    In my opinion, WD is not worth it. It's just so boring. It had some interesting gameplay mechanics, but story and main character killed it for me.
    I never encountered main character so bland like in WD.
    Just stick with WD2. As far as I have heard, it's a more superior game. Still, like you've mentioned it, you may just grab it to have it in your library. There is no hard, I suppose.

    Tried a bit of Squad. It has a free weekend and a -50% discount. Seems like a fun game, but I think I'll pass, or maybe give it another go some time later.
    This game has a bit of a learning curve and currently I'm not in the mood for it.

    I've been playing Destiny 2 pretty much daily with some CSGO on the side to keep my aim placement and reactions on point (since D2 PVP isnt on par yet). Aside from that, the gun play in Destiny 2 has been great and I'm almost 305 on 2 of 3 characters. Barely started on my Titan yesterday.

    Indeed. I never got JGR for my Dreamcast, which I regret, but did get the sequel for my Xbox. Unique, in every good way.

    I seem to be on a big Forza Horizon 3 binge lately, such a stupid fun game. I need to jump back into the Witcher series though, before I have one of those "what was I supposed to be doing again?" moments and stop for months.

    I’m still knee deep into Destiny 2. Can’t believe I’m so into this game. Raids, strikes, Nightfall, Levitathan-WOW. It’s also my 1st online game, can’t believe I’ve never done this before. Also, there will be DLC. This will last into the new year. I’m glad now that Wolfenstein 2 did not work on my PC, took refund and got this game :bigyes:

    JSRF is good. To the point that it took me a long time to stop seeing everything in the real world in terms of "how do I grind that?" :)

    Very few games have done things like that to me. The Tony Hawk series, JSRF and Assassin's Creed (still can't look at some buildings without thinking of climbing them)

    Mass Effect Andromeda with latest 1.1 patch.
    Works pretty great actually. No issues with animations, stability, performance, etc.
    I like the game... a bit slow at times and rather high amount of side-quests I guess but overall flows good.

    With all the fixes it plays pretty well. I did notice some clipping last time I played but nothing major. They solved all the weird physics bugs I was seeing.

    Good time to start playing Mercy, the community seems to be coming down off it's hate-fest now that there's another support available and an existing one got a buff.

    I didn't realize there was a hate-fest haha. I'm just about the most casual player there is, and only do quick play or arcade. I happened to get her in one of the random character arcade matches, hence my discovery.

    Just another character they were up in arms about being OP. Now that it's calming down we just wait for the next salt mine, which I predict will be Junkrat.

    As I said, I'm not experiencing any stutters... gameplay is stable for me.
    Are you running the latest patch with this game?
    If not, I recommend you patch it to the latest version and then try.

    Still playing Injustice 2 and Destiny 2. Battlefront 2 is not a priority atm.

    Injustice 2 is fun but got no people to play with other than other people making AI teams that I pit my team against.
