Why do you hate them?
Finally done with this after 69 hours, at least until the final DLC comes out (if it ever comes out) Official rankings are Shadow > TR2013 > Rise. I hate these games so much. Ask me anything.
Waiting for "offers"? Or maybe currently in talks with someone. *shrug*
previous release date was March 14th, 2019.
I guess EGS could indeed become THE destination for tactical turn-based strategy.
That's a lot of paranoia about Xenonauts 2. Unfounded, imo. Just need to check the Steam Discussions for the game
I needed something to do. I needed to confirm for myself what I liked and didn't like about these games. Also photomode.
Because the Tomb Raider series was a big part of my childhood and it's immensely frustrating how close to brilliant this series is, but is far less than the sum of its parts. There's parts I love about it. Lara feels great to play and control, and you can get some real fluidity to the movement, but the actual traversal around the world has no challenge when you're having to go somewhere. You're following the exact path the devs lay out for you and if you deviate from it even a fraction you die instantly. There's no ability for the player to be creative with the traversal. Lara's characterisation is pretty well done, she's not some wise-cracking sarcastic quipster (hi Nathan!) but has actual depth and fears and emotions about things. Not that there's anything wrong with wise-cracking sarcastic quipsters (hi Kassandra!) but it's a nice change of pace, and shows that the writers at least wanted to do something different. It's a shame then that the story surrounding Lara is such a disjointed mess of ideas and themes. Rise is the worst in this, which focuses more on Lara's father, Richard Croft, which is not want I'm playing a bloody Tomb Raider game for. The combat is fine I guess, but felt very typical of the third person action genre. There's a part at the beginning of Rise where you get to explore an area and learn the terrain, then have to deal with a squad of Trinity soldiers that have moved into the area. That's actually the best combat section in the game, as it forces you to act as a guerrilla, you're outnumbered but you know the land and can take them out from concealed positions using just your bow and rocks. More combat like that would have been great, but it's the only time they do it in the entire series. Either do that, or take away all the guns and force Lara to rely on her bow, axes and ingenuity with items to get through combat. Or mix in combat with traversal around the terrain, have people chasing you while you swing through the trees.
I want the games to be better, and I hope the dev teams get to keep on this path rather than having to reboot it again (4th iteration anyone?) whenever the next Tomb Raider releases. Rather than having different silos of story, combat, exploration, mix them together, make them better than the whole. Uncharted 4 managed it.

Yeah I bounced off these newer TR after the first one. I played the second for a bit but It just didnt grab me. They have high production value, obviously a lot of work and love goes into them but the overall experience seems way to linear and bland for me. Not to say that i dont enjoy linear games but these ones for some reason just dont really do it for me.
Hey, I completed Arkham Oranges today so add me to the list please. Overall its still a lot of fun. Everything except the Bane fights. I didnt do much of the side missions, just powered through the main story. Tis a good story, nice christmas setting. Graphics hold up ok, not brilliant but not bad. Could run it at 4k 60fps everything up to 11.
I started up Arkham Knight and ended up playing for a couple of hours. That is a good looking game. As much as I like Origins I think Knight is the best one. Maybe because i actually dont mind the Bat-mobile! It's just more of everything.
I'm really looking forward to the next, in which we'll finally see how Lara Croft becomes the Tomb Raider.
I managed to get stable 50FPS (I have 50-60Hz) in WD2 last time I tried.
I've had a Markus for years now, much better than the bad car seats people shill for as gaming chairs.
Y'all are smart PC people, aren't ya? So, I'm dumb, and I'd like some input on me and Abzu.
Seems the game is already famous for having framerate issues, it was unplayable for me without this fix.
But there still remains some little stutter, whatever I try. Even putting the settings to LOW does nothing - or at least not noticeable.
Last thing I did was updating nvidia manually with that recent security fix (while searching via Windows it told me, there would be no new one.)
And I enabled Triple Buffering via the nvidida control panel, although I read, it doesn't work like that with games like this.
Well, as I said before, I'm dumb, and usually just play along with whatever. (Loved iit a lot anyway.) But it's kinda still bugging me.
Can someone at least explain me? <.<
(i7, 1060 6GB, 16 RAM just for the record - game should purr.)

Some games just aren't optimized very well. You can see it in Subnautica at times as well.
I just went through opening section of Sleeping Dogs in both versions (Original and Definitive) and i don't know what to think. Definitive Edition has more physics and destructible objects but it is kinda more bright. Also to me it looks like lighting is bit better in Original version.

The waterfront shots don't look good and they have fewer detail. Looks like a cheap fog filter.
Man, I tried getting back into Hitman 2 since I never finished the game despite loving it but apparently there is an issue with RTX cards and the game now randomly crashes every now and then. As if that wasn't bad enough, it makes an SASO run on Master completely impossible and I'm super bummed right now.
The lighting differences looks like it's just a brightness slider away from matching up, the mini-map has a different brightness level between the two.
FWIW I had the randomly crashing issue but it stopped once I changed to run the game in DX11 (or 12? The one that's higher)
It is not just brightness, look at places that are in the shadows, in original release there are more shadows and they are darker.
Thanks, I tried that last night and it worked fine for a preeetty long run, I'm just kinda skittish about starting a SASO run on master and then loosing everything due to a crash.
I want a video game based on Infinity Train
Gotta wait til Gamescom for news on that I suspect.
Jesus, I was literally just playing the game now. I have a 2080, but unsatisfied with the performance on extreme. I'm intimidated with overclocking, so the FPS leaves a bit to be desired.
dex3108 There is a guide that ups the number of bodies that Dishonored will allow before despawning them
Game uses GPU a lot and not that much of CPU and AA hits FPS the most. Lower AA to high and bump resolution up. That should give you 60+FPS.
Tnx for that but i already finished DLCs :D I went and finished them before Dishonored 2 and i was careful not to touch enemies where it wasn't needed :D
Yeah, I'd chase it up. The request may have been flagged for manual review only to get lost in the shuffle.
Am I the only one still having to download my entire workshop mods every time I start up Steam? I thought this would be fixed within a few hours but it's been like that since tuesday (?)
