That was poor. QuickTime events in a tomb raider game? *shudder*
Want doom eternal but probably needs playing on pc, and mine would do HD at 60fps probably, but my mouse and keyboard aren't the best. Not sure what console version is like, but it looks like it would benefit from keyboard and mouse...
plus more mick gordon soundtrack right?
I bought a wheel a few years ago and didn't really take to it. Three years on and several hundred Youtube videos later, I made the move and bought a TMX Pro for £150. It took a bit of working around to fit it into my gaming space but in it went and I paid up for a three-month subscription to iRacing.
I'm addicted. I've never had a driving lesson in real life so having to learn how to heel and toe and all the rest is challenging. Weight transfer around corners, not getting too lairy with the throttle on cold tyres, coping with cars with no ABS... shit me, it's so fun.
The freaky thing is playing now with global motorsport cancelled like so many other sports. Racing against professional racing drivers is such a blast. It's amusing seeing some of the live streams where people have top notch wheels and gear and there's me with a wheel mounted on the edge of the desk as I'm sat on the edge of the bed trying not to mash the pedals too much as I haven't mounted them yet and they can slide a bit...
iRacing is great, Raceroom's really good as an intro game, and I really do have to get Assetto Corsa Competizione if just to go around Bathurst.
Ooooh, great minds!
The only games I've ever really gotten into when I was younger are racing sims, but haven't played any for years. This current lockdown, plus the fact that I've just got divorced and now have a house all to myself for the first time in 12 years, means I've taken the plunge to get back into it.
I have a 2nd hand Logitech G29 in the post on its way to me, along with a used copy of Project Cars 2 for the PS4 that I snagged for £6. Can't wait to get stuck in!
I went through a phase of being massively into GTR and GT Legends on the PC about 10-15 years ago. I was never much good at it compared to some of the guys who compete online, so I have no illusions that I'll be anything other shite this time round too, but I don't care!
Anyone else played Project Cars 2? Any handy hints?
PC2 is alright. Some of the cars drive really well, some of them are very meh. Found it very hard with a controller on the 360, far better with a wheel on the PC.
I'm currently on with Eternal and it's just as brutal and chaotic. It's arguably more challenging as you have to be a bit more strategic with your ammo and the way in which you kill demons. Ignore the reviews which state it's too hard. It's demanding, yes, but I think that's the point. Seriously, when you complete a section/level, it's soooo satisfying.
Mick Gordon soundtrack, but perhaps not as aggressive as the last one.
All in all, a superbly executed game and perfect after a stressful day at the office. I love it.
The first one was a little odd and atypical of Total War games, in that there were always large portions of the map that certain factions could not actually inhabit, so they just had to ruin them and take attrition instead. The second game works a lot better, thanks to a new climate system and if you have both games then you can play Mortal Empires, which combines both maps and all the races (so far Empire, Dwarfs, Vampire Counts, Greenskins, Norsca, Wood Elves, Bretonnia, High Elves, Dark Elves, Lizardmen, Skaven, Vampire Coast and Tomb Kings).
Had a sudden urge to start a magic only run in Skyrim tonight so that's what I've spent the last couple of hours doing. Finding it quite easy so far. For the early game at least I think magic might be a bit OP.
*edit*
SWITCH USERS: Does anyone fancy trading some games? I've got Zelda BOTW, Pokemon Go, and Skyrim up for grabs, would like a stab at Mario Odyssey, Luigi's Mansion, or the new Zelda one.
Currently playing Gris on Switch. It's wonderful in a melancholy sort of way. I absolutely love the Switch for indie stuff. Might have to try Skyrim again...
