Soooooooo, It seems that Horizon Zero Dawn should be dropping in a few days. What is your expected MSRP of it? $30?

Hmmmm, I will pick it up during sale, then.
I don't expect it to release until July 10, once the sale is finished, mostly due to marketing material (banner, for example) and complete attention without competing with literally 90% of the Steam platform in the middle of a sale.

Flight Simulator is what's coming next from Asobo Studios 😉
Oh yeah, you're right! I've never played a flight sim before (I know, I know, PC gaming cred insta revoked) but this one really looks gorgeous. I still can't wait for the next thing they make in the mold of A Plague Tale though 😀

I must be the only one looking forward to New World here.

New gameplay just emerged a few days ago. Looking good.

I'm certainly not hyped for an MMO. By Amazon. But the world is original and I would be really glad for it to be a good game.
Now a gameplay video in 720p on the other hand, that is a crime.

Ah yeah, I mean next sales. Not spending money on games in this month anymore🤣

  • Is there a good emulator for gachaing on the side ?
  • Are games well supported or are some a bother (FGO ?) ?
  • If I want to pay (never) can I use the games like a mobile user ?

So gamepass for PC is a cool guy and doesn't afraid of anything.

Except games leaving the service. Which is a cost of business kind of thing. Want Netflix for games service, get Netflix for games service.

Metro Exodus worked really well on my RX 470/3770/16gb machine. Ran good, looked good. I was just starting to get into it after slogging through the opening stealth section. (I generally have a hatred of stealth sections) Last night it clicked! Metro in a semi open world format works.

Too bad it leaves gamepass today. $31 (price with discount) just isn't in the budget atm.

Till we meet again Metro Exodus.

(This xbox game pass thing has me feeling something about a used xbox one s. Feeling something indeed)

The Surge 2 is cool. I enjoy the directional parrying mechanics and the combat in general. Cutting of limbs for crafting parts is also a neat idea.

Gamma is a bit off though. It is either a bit too dark or too bright imo. I've "calibrated" my display as good as I can and I'm following the in game "this needs to be barely visible and this not visible at all" guidelines but it just doesn't look pleasing. I had a similar problem with Resident Evil 2 Remake.

Performance is also interesting as I'm often CPU bound (~80% GPU load). Not a deal breaker and I'm not complaining as I'm still able to reach high refresh rates. Just something I didn't expect in a Vulkan game.
Why are people talking about Zero Dawn dropping in some days?
1. ) It is being mentioned in the newest GeForce Experience Update
2.) AMD Bundle ended and new AC:Vikings Bundle will replace the current one soon.
3.) AMD HZD Bundle needs to be activated till the end of July 2020.
4.) People would like it to happen sooner than later.

Great pull, but you'll want 1 class with 2 SR weapons of the same type.

I personally use Memu, it support macro and synchronous operation. All games are supported except FGO which hate emulator somehow.

Huh, overnight it seems my time to get past the BIOS / POST is significantly longer than before. I didn't change any hardware or anything besides pairing a new Bluetooth device yesterday.

Tried unplugging all USB devices but that didn't speed things up.

It still posts every time, but now it's taking about 15 seconds whereas it was just ~3 seconds before.

No sign of anything wrong yet otherwise. My BIOS didn't load defaults or anything. It's also very consistent in its slowness, but the slowness reminds me of a bad overclock / RAM timings (but I don't have any overclock, just tightened up RAM timings and voltages...)

Yeah some missions in C&C are extremely hard. What really sucks is that you can rather easily get into a situation where you actually have to restart the mission since it's basically unwinnable from your save.
Yeah, I had to restart that mission like 5-7 times, since my initial troops kept being killed about 30 seconds in, which messed up any chances to actually defend against the first waves of attack when you get your base up.

So annoying. Got so many games and DLCs for games that I wanna play, but I can't decide, so I end up watching something on Netflix or HBO or rewatch Always Sunny episodes.
This happened to me like three times over the weekend.

Paralysis by analysis, backlog style.

Hence my attempt at a game purchasing freeze. (I'll still be undone by giveaways)

Also coming to Steam:

I'm really enjoying the kind of dodging and fluidity that's on display with the combat. It's a game to keep an eye on for me :).
