Played through Call of Juarez Gunslinger for the third time. So much fun, but a bit too short so I dug out the original Call of Juarez from the loft, and I also have Call of Juarez Bound In Blood too. I do own Call of Juarez the Cartel but it doesn't work on Windows 10 and Steam aren't supporting it any more... ____________________ British beauty: Triumph Street Triple R; Loony stroker: KR1S; Track fun: GSXR750 L1; Commuter Missile: GSX-S1000F

I've started playing Dark Souls 3 again. For some reason I recall the opening scenes and first level quite well but almost nothing of the combat but coming at it from God of War seems to have worked out well. Currently rolling with a dex focused pyromancer and he's waving about a katana like a maniac and looking a bit like David Carradine... called him "Bill"
As a little interlude I'm also having a dabble with Not For Broadcast which has turned out to be a surprisingly dark satire on modern life. While it might be described as just a jazzed up Papers Please it somehow gets across how easy it is to be a c*nt in media ____________________ Husqvarna Vitpilen 401, Yamaha XSR700, Honda Rebel, Yamaha DT175, Suzuki SV650 (loan) Fazer 600, Keeway Superlight 125, 50cc turd scooter |

Just downloaded Battlefield V for PC, didn't start it till late, so let it run all night on my shite connection, 90Gb
That's my monthly quota used First run of it this afternoon, confirms I bloody downloded 60% of bloody video scenes.
Still, nice to have something to play with when I'm bored of all th eother shite. |

That's a shame, I quite enjoyed Horizon: Zero Dawn (after it was heavily patched!)
I might give Death Loop a go after I've finished Dark Souls 3. That'll probably take a while as I keep suffering with restartitis
I hit some roadblock in the game and think "a melee character would be much better here than a magic user..." and start all over again. I've had a lot of fun smashing bosses with my Northman "Harold" who literally wields a tree! No finesse though and it's surprising how many times the game can pull-off "brute force will avail you not!"
And then you discover where all the juicy fire spells are and now I'm rolling with my Pyromancer "Bernie" who's struggling to get to them. ____________________ Husqvarna Vitpilen 401, Yamaha XSR700, Honda Rebel, Yamaha DT175, Suzuki SV650 (loan) Fazer 600, Keeway Superlight 125, 50cc turd scooter |

So, the GT7.
On the PS5, the loading times are non-existent (we're talking 1 to 3 seconds loadings) and both the visual and audio presentation are exceptional. The level of detail is beyond any other racing game on the market today. The dynamic weather and day/night cycle are both a nice addition, incl. a weather map telling you what part of the track has what conditions during the race. This mainly applies to longer tracks, but it's still nice.
Raytracing; you may either choose the performace mode (everything runs at 60fps) or the raytracing mode (60fps gameplay, 30fps menus and replays). It is impressive to see reflections of the world and other cars on the actuall cars in the replays and menus. You can see the whole world in a VW hub cap, for instance.
The game runs in native 4K at rock solid 60fps and I'm yet to see a dropped frame. The geometry and LOD also improved a lot since the GT Sport and the light system is very convincing with very nice realistic real time shadows. Cubemaps (reflections on the car during the race) also have much higher LOD.
The content; so far it is entertaining enough, but I expected something a bit closer to the GT4 experience. They also changed the camera shake which I wasn't happy with at first, but I got used to it.
Anyway, I'm gonna give it more hours to decided the final score, but so far it is a very well made game with a bit of nostalgia in it as well. The kind of nostalgia that all the long time fans, playing this series from the very beginnings, will appreciate. Such as the soundtrack, the classic tracks (Deep Forest Raceway, High Speed Ring and Trial Mountain Circuit) with overall ''classic Gran Turismo'' feel.
TL; DR: As a long time fan of the Gran Turismo series I say go for it, enjoy. The game also runs on the PS4 and PS4 PRO. ____________________ '87 Honda XBR 500, '96 Kawasaki ZX7R P1, '90 Honda CB-1, '88 Kawasaki GPz550, MZ 150 ETZ

What would you say it's lacking compared with earlier GT games? I remember playing (and enjoying) the first two games, then I got GT4 or GT5 I think, but it was in the traditional buy used, tune up, millions of settings etc.. type format.
I am tempted (by the PS4 version). ____________________ TG. |

In the classic GT games you always start with 10 000Cr., go to the Licence center, do the B licence, A licence... then buy a used car and race it in the Sunday cup... to earn first money, upgrade the car to keep up with the AI... earning money, buying/selling cars... the only limitation in the game being your cash and licence.
I don't have that feeling from the GT7. You mainly complete tasks given to you in the GT Cafe. In the beginning the tasks are about learning how to play the game, then you always get a task to win three races in Europe/Asia/America, for which you acquire three cars if you manage to finish them in at least 3rd place. Then go back to the GT Cafe for another such task. You don't really need to buy cars to play the game. The only car you have to buy is the first one from the used car market just because the game says so. You can't sell cars though!
I do enjoy playing the game but it's no GT4 (the best GT game in the series). Many people talked about the GT7 like it was supposed to be the classic Gran Turismo game, maybe I'm just getting too old. Anyway, the car tuning is also back, incl. custom wheels and bodyparts (wide body kit, spoilers, splitters...) and you can even change the colour of the headlight bulbs, and the oil change + car wash are back too. It is very simplified but these days I'm glad it's back regardless.
The online aspect of the game is the same as in the GT Sport, which is the best sim/arcade online racing on the market. ____________________ '87 Honda XBR 500, '96 Kawasaki ZX7R P1, '90 Honda CB-1, '88 Kawasaki GPz550, MZ 150 ETZ

I fired up the ps3 and played Battlefield for the dirst time in ages. It all felt a bit creepy considering whats going on in Ukraine.
On a more civil note im wanting to get into Microsoft flight simulator 2020 but will need a new pc or laptop to do so. |
