Just spotted this thread, xbox series x Microsoft flight sim 2020.
It's pretty convincing at times, best looking if you stay above 500ft.
RDR2, got 99.9% completion in the first one on PS3.
Forza 4 is pretty good, more emphasis on fun than driving simulation like Grand Turismo.
I've got the game pass thing so there's over 100 games to plough through ____________________

Hell let loose (PS5) - 9/10
It's one of those realistic WW2 online shooters, where you choose the unit, get dropped onto a huge map with tens of other people running around and fighting for territories. The game is slower paced for the most part, which I do enjoy, actually. The Dualsense controller also works great. I like the sound it makes when you do a headshot. The voice chat works great through the controller as well and the right trigger acts like a trigger on a real firearm, which is a nice touch. ____________________ '87 Honda XBR 500, '96 Kawasaki ZX7R P1, '90 Honda CB-1, '88 Kawasaki GPz550, MZ 150 ETZ

And a PC version on Steam I'll keep an eye on it.
Just finished The Eternal Cylinder which was better than I expected. At £24 on the Epic store is a bit overpriced but definitely worth a punt in a sale. ____________________ Husqvarna Vitpilen 401, Yamaha XSR700, Honda Rebel, Yamaha DT175, Suzuki SV650 (loan) Fazer 600, Keeway Superlight 125, 50cc turd scooter |

I have played all three ME's many times. I still much prefer the storyline AND gameplay of ME1.
Esspecially the ammo thing. Suddenly Ammo is a thing in ME2?
Yes, It also runs pretty poor does ME1, really badly ported (like gta4- both barely ran on my old system, and even on my 8350 both stutter sometimes despite how old the software is....)
And what's more unfortunately I am also a victim of the 3DNow! bug....
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TvTErfvty-U
Thankfully only a few levels it affects. The problem is there are a few levels which make use of 3DNow! CPU architecture. But AMD themselves dropped 3DNow! instruction set in 2010ish, so this odd stuff happens! When I play this game thru, I tend to copy the saved game over to my old pc (Athlon 4200) and play those missions on that PC instead as CPU is old enough to have 3DNow!. ____________________ CBT: 12/06/10, Theory: 22/09/10, Module 1: 09/11/10, Module 2: 19/01/11

Is anyone into strategy games and got any suggestions as to what I can try without breaking the bank and finding out I don't like it.
I'm a massive Civ series fan and also loved the 'Command and Conquer' games back in the mists of time. I've even recently gone back to 'Heroes of Might and Magic' so it shows how old some of my taste is. Oh yes, I also enjoy sub sims, Silent Hunter series.
So anyone played anything modern thats ok and doesn't need Jodrell Bank computing power to run? ____________________ Triumph Trophy Launch Edition |

A few non-cutting edge suggestions you can probably pick up cheap on Steam/GreenManGaming/etc.
*Total War Series (Rome, Napoleon, Medieval 2 are all good, pick your era basically).
*Wargame: Airland Battle (later versions Wargame:Red Dragon and Steel Division: Normandy 44 are really good too if you like the style, which is punishing)
*Dawn of War series (Command and Conquerish, but set in the Warhammer 40k universe. Dark Crusade is probably the best of the bunch overall)
*Crusader Kings 2 has a great rep, but it's very very indepth for strategy, so worth a go if you want something hardcore, was too much for me.
They've just released a new Age of Empires that people seem to be rating, and I don't think its too CPU/GPU intensive. Haven't tried it though. ____________________ Current - '94 VFR750FR, '00 VFR800FI Previous - '10 Street Triple R, '92 MZ ETZ301, '05 TTR250, NSR125R, KMX125, "Honda" Win (chinese copy of an old Honda design with a C90 engine)

I fired it up, and spent the first 3/4 of an hour trying to decide which princess to marry to my heir, got lost in the possibilities, realised that at no point was I actually going to see anyone hack off anyone else's arm, and gave up. The stories about people managing to marry horses into their family are fun though. ____________________ Current - '94 VFR750FR, '00 VFR800FI Previous - '10 Street Triple R, '92 MZ ETZ301, '05 TTR250, NSR125R, KMX125, "Honda" Win (chinese copy of an old Honda design with a C90 engine)

Half way through Enderal: Forgotten Stories - a full-conversion mod of Skyrim. On Steam you don't even need to have the base game installed, just have Skyrim in your collection.
Quite big, maybe half the map of Skyrim... more like Fallout 4 size. Quite interesting stories and characters and written well enough to allow for some immoral choices here and there for your stealth/thief characters
The levelling in Enderal is more your traditional quest/kills exp system but it does have a crutch of "Learning Books" to get round Skyrim's auto levelling of individual skills. ____________________ Husqvarna Vitpilen 401, Yamaha XSR700, Honda Rebel, Yamaha DT175, Suzuki SV650 (loan) Fazer 600, Keeway Superlight 125, 50cc turd scooter |

I can't, it's too hard so I declare the game to be shite. |
I clocked Ride 3 and really enjoyed it, was all prepared to buy Ride 4 till the reviews started rolling in. More tracks, but loads fewer bikes, issues with the AI etc. I've left it for now until it's on a steam sale.
Instead, I've gone back to playing PiBoSo's https://www.gp-bikes.com/. Setting it up is a PITA, you have to download and install all the bikes, tracks, skins etc. manually, and it's punishingly hard. There's not really enough controls on an XBox controller for everything you need, and it probably took me 1/2 hour to successfully navigate my first corner. But all that said, it's still by some margin the best motorcycle simulator I've tried. The attention to detail (in the bike physics, not the visuals) is staggering.
Highly recommended, but be prepared for hours of fiddling to get all the bikes/tracks on there, and be prepared to hate yourself. ____________________ Current - '94 VFR750FR, '00 VFR800FI Previous - '10 Street Triple R, '92 MZ ETZ301, '05 TTR250, NSR125R, KMX125, "Honda" Win (chinese copy of an old Honda design with a C90 engine)
