What game(s) are you playing?

I'm playing Dirt Rally 2.0. It's bitchin' hard. Unfair hard. stupidly geeky hard, only really suitable for Rally fetishising esports nutbars.

It's fun, but progress is basically impossible because one mistake ruins your time, and there is no rewind or any sort of mitigation. I can do a clean stage, and catch the edge of a ditch on a wide corner just once, and it'll take me from 1st to 27th. Maybe with a steering wheel it might be a bit easier? I don't know. I did get it very cheap, but f*ck!

Playing a lot of Valhalla lately, it's taken me a while to get into it but now it's updated a bit, it at least looks as nice as I would of liked originally, it really is very pretty at Ultra settings now.

Finished CP2077 last week and to be honest found that a massive disappointment. I have literally no urge to go back and replay it as a different character. I played as a Nomad and that was enough for me. I didn't have any game breaking bugs and it ran really, really nicely on my PC but I just didn't think it lived up to the hype.

Spent a relaxing evening building a Soyuz knock-off from stock parts in KSP. I tried to keep all the engines around the same trust output as the real thing and probably only took three attempts to get it into orbit

Does anyone play Gran Turismo anymore or am I just completely a man out of time?

To all the Dirt Rally strugglers:

try Wreckfest to unwind. Crap driving skills matter not a jot for 90% of the game, especially in the online derbies

I've tried a few xbox driving games recently, since I got a Logitech wheel and pedals.

F1 2020 - I think this is very good. I can actually compete in this (with auto gearchange at the mo')

Forza Horizons - absolutely uncontrollable using the steering wheel - the car goes all over the place.

Project Cars - in between the previous two for driveability. I need some some time on this to see if the steering can be tweaked to make the car stay on the track more.

Today my brother gave me a PS5, so I try all the games I played on the base PS4 and I very much enjoy the Astro's Playroom game, that was developed to show all the features the new controller has. I enjoy the screen resolution the PS5 has over the base PS4 in PS4 games, now games look like if they were on the PS4 pro and the loading times are very short. I also could transfer all my save data to the new console, so it's a very pleasant transition to the new system.

The new controller has some interesting features, but just like before, I like the previous gen (PS4 mk2) controller better. Some say the PS4 controller works on the PS5 with PS4 games, so I might gonna give it a try. Oh, and there is no S/PDIF audio out this time, so HDMI audio only which is not ideal with a PC type of monitor. There is the 3.5mm audio jack on the PS5 controller but I find the audio quality via controller poor, just like I did on the PS4. Although now the controller has a in built microphone, muteable with a physical lit button on the controller. By the way, you also still can not use Bluetooth audio devices with the PS5.

Tl; Dr: Worth it.

EDIT: Thinking of it, some PS4 games do run twice as fast (60fps) on the PS5.

EDIT 2: In many PS4 games, the PS5 let's you choose between the performance mode and resolution (quality) mode, just like it worked on the PS4 pro (blurry + fast OR sharp + slow). The performance mode on the PS4 pro being: 1080p@60Hz and the resolution (quality) mode being 1800p/2160p@30Hz. Now, games such as Gran Turismo Sport, Ghost of Tsushima and many other PS4 games, I don't have time to replay them all, the resolution (quality) mode means 1800p/2160p@60Hz, with no frame drops and all the open frame rate PS4 games now just run at rock solid 60Hz. The performance mode (1080p@60Hz?) has no meaning to me as even if the games ran at higher frame rates, my 60Hz monitor wouldn't benefit from it.

Also, the PS5 is very quiet compared to my jet engine sounding base PS4.

I'm looking forward to trying it with the occulus and the wheel. I'm recovering from covid though and not quite up to that stress!

I'm glad I'm not the only one finding Rally 2.0 hard I just bought a G29 in the sales and assumed it was like Dirt 3. Still fun but I wish they would add things like reloading from checkpoints when you bin it at the end of a stage.
It needs more instructions for new players as well. I had no idea what the co pilot was shouting at me so when he said "80" I assumed he meant mph so I would slow down... Seems like adjustment of the cars makes a huge difference too so it would be nice to have more instructions there or maybe let you load other peoples settings.
