Played a bit of Age of Empires II with a mate today for the first time in many years. Forgot how addictive it is

I just completed SWAT 4 and the expansion pack again. Biblically hard game, but immensely enjoyable. The aim of the game is NOT to kill anyone if you can help it and I love that.

The importance of CPU in gaming may vary. Many game devs still prefer strong single core performance over the raw computing power. That is why for example the Pentiums and i3 chips (2c/4t, about 54 W TDP) match and even beat the FX 8350 (8c/8t, 125W TDP) in every single area, except maybe multi-core benchmarks, some productive work and Cities Skylines (that game loves high core count).

Not even talking about the new standards that come with the modern Pentium and i3 CPUs. For instance, way more instructions per cycle, DDR4, PCIe gen 3.0...

Apart from taking care of the engine's core mechanics and other bits, it also gives the GPU instructions. Higher the frame rate more instructions CPU has to spit out at given time, so the GPU can then bother with all the individual pixels. If it can't feed the GPU the instructions fast enough, you get stutter and lowering the gfx settings won't help as bothering with that is the GPU's job. The screen resolution also has no effect on the CPU's performance, 480p is the same load for your CPU as 4K; if it's not the CPU that does the rendering, obviously. But, running games in software mode died in the late 90's.

Finished the Wolfenstein 2 DLC. Basically don't bother. They re-use a lot of levels/elements from the main game, and it's just lazily done. A couple of the levels I had to run through to complete them

Free until the end of the month (with GwG) Trials of the Blood Dragon.

It's a cross-over between Farcry Blood Dragon and the Trials games A lot of it is shit. They have odd shooty bits in a Trials style level, and the story doesn't add anything to the game, nor does the 80s effects. But it's the most recent trials game available. I wouldn't part with money for it but as it's free I'll probably finish it

Fortnite BR a couple of times a week. Battlefield1 most nights, and recently started Assassin's Creed Unity. Is the first AC game I've played for longer than 5 minutes.

[Moo.]

Fortnite on PS4 most nights. Absolutely hilarious with a squad of mates on their.

I thought I'd be the type to refuse to pay for all the crappy skins etc as it doesn't change gameplay at all.. but I did crumble and pay for the battle pass, only because you earn enough coins to then pay for the next one, then the next etc..

Cant seem to stop playing Kingdom Come, think I'm about 100 hours in so far.

Must say Far Cry 5 looks pretty good, but not sure if it will get a bit samey, like all the others seemed to.

Kingdom come deliverance.

Really enjoying it (only about 5hrs in), combat is tricky but satisfying. The game is pretty difficult starting out but I'm still a soft, no skills, poorly equipped peasant so I'm expecting that to get easier. Most actions seem to have another level of depth, get caught selling stolen stuff in the same town, combat has loads of tricks to no get dead, food ages etc etc.

Only thing I'm struggling with is the not saving regularly.

I like the realism though, no shitty monsters to break the immersion. I haven't had any bugs/glitches yet either (v1.3).
