Only one for sure is Cyberpunk on PC. I will sign up for Ubisoft + at some point after I finish that for Valhalla and Immortals. Outside of that, I have an active Xbox Game pass for PC and will definitely play through Medium when it releases.

What are you playing it on? Debating on waiting to play it on either PS5 or whenever my number comes up to buy a 3080.

I think this is just a general issue with the concepts of levels in a game. I personally feel like it's a bit of an outdated way to give a sense of progression. I like the idea of opening up abilities, but not just adding health/strength. Especially so if enemies level with you... in that case what's the point... you get tougher and so to they. I suppose that's also the case with enemies being tougher by zones. In a lot of ways I liked the way that most metroidvania games handle it. You complete certain events and gain some new tool or ability. That feels much more natural to me than grinding x amounts of bad guys or handing in a quest and magically becoming stronger. Overall though, I play games like Witcher 3 for the narrative, characters, and exploration. There really doesn't need to be a level based progression system. Maybe just a new skill learned here and there by finding some item/tool/weapon that allows it.

Got my Shield on Saturday and gamed practically all weekend on it. It really is impressive. In fact it's so impressive I'm now considering buying a bluetooth mouse & keyboard so I can play FPS/TPS games with them as I HATE playing those types of games with a controller. Does anyone have any suggestions for keyboards that don't require a USB dongle to connect via bluetooth (since the tube doesn't have USB)? Lots of mice like that but I haven't seen any keyboards.

Definitely going to go shield. Seems like it's a guarantee that it has everything I want with the least amount of hassle. Question is whether to get it now or wait and see if there is a black friday deal.

Thanks guys... I actually have some old steam links and like them but they only do 1080P correct? That's why I was looking for something 4k HDR capable. I've been researching on the side a bit... still debating between 4K shield, 4k Fire + Ethernet adapter + Moonlight.

If not then my question then becomes is this the best choice? Money isn't really a major concern but $30 for a 4k Fire stick vs $150 is kinda hard to ignore?

Hello... hoping to get some advice here. Since COVID my job has become work from home permanently. Since I work in front of a computer all day my normal gaming go-to has switched from my PC to my PS4 as I just want to sit on my couch and game vs spend more time in my home office. That said, there are some great games on PC that I'd love to play on my new LG CX 77. Since Steam link isn't an available App on LG I'm looking for a device that will offer good game streaming from my gaming PC. I've been looking at the Nvidia Shield 4k and it looks great, but it also looks like it's going to be too large to plug directly into the TV in the extra ports it has in the back since it's 6.6" long. I'd love it if someone were able to confirm this. I'd be happy to consider other options too. I'm not married to nvidia so if something else like a 4k Fire TV, Roku, or whatever else would accomplish this that would be great. My PC is plenty powerful, so I'd love something able to do 4k@60 w/ HDR.

To be fair, Ghost of Tsushima is very good. It's just not a generational game like Witcher 3 is.

Having played and really enjoyed both, my vote goes to the Witcher. I think it has a stronger story, characters, and side quests. Combat is serviceable, was decent for the time especially for the type of game it is. As for the ?s, most of them can be skipped and they aren't really quests just small points of interests/things to loot. As for Tsushima, it's almost the opposite in terms of strengths vs weaknesses when compared to W3. The combat is great, while the main story is good but not great. Characters and side quests are mix of serviceable to good. It also has plenty of very skip-able '?' type stuff. They're definitely both worth playing and both very good overall games.

Put a fan in the room and turn it to medium/high. This helps for two things: 1) It keeps you cooler when playing games. 2) It's an easy way to orient yourself in your room.

I never played Automata... but I'm intrigued. I normally don't go for the typical Japanese weirdness/stories... how much does that fit in terms of this series?

I've been pretty much a life long PC gamer first, but always had at least one of the consoles. I spent the majority of my gaming time on my PC, except for console exclusives. Now, with the pandemic and working 100% from home I find myself wanting to play console much more. So comfort is also a factor. I realize it's easy enough to hook my PC up to my TV but being that I need it in my office it's not a great solution. So Ive become almost a console first gamer in the recent months.

I'm mainly after a hybrid watercooled 3080 which haven't released yet. So still have my fingers crossed. Luckily I live near a MicroCenter and can probably get something from them regardless. They're very very watchful of scalper types.

I've got my eye on a couple. LG CX 77" and Samsung Q80T85. Both look damn good in person. Wish I could see them side by side. Probably gonna pull the trigger on Prime Day or Early Nov.

It's definitely on my radar. Definitely want to see how much of a typical "ubisoft" open world it is. The title is in terms of climbing towers, collecting things, and random challenges (of which I've had enough of).

1) God of War 2) Last of Us 2 3) Uncharted Lost Legacy 4) Horizon 5) Tsushima 6) Spider Man 7) Uncharted 4 First 3 are all interchangeable in terms of rank for me, as are 4/5, 6/7.

Thanks. Having read that I would say it is typical "japanese" weird which just isn't my cup of tea.

How "japanese" wierd is the story in this game? I've sort of been following it, but sort of not and none of the reviews I've watched/read really touch on the stories for spoiler reasons. I'm like 1/2 interested and 1/2 not.

Maybe the Arkham games had better, but I definitely do like this. That said, early on before you get your health and armor built up it's pretty rough on you so I could see why some maybe didn't like it due to that.

It's very good all around... good graphics, interesting sci-fi story, good TPS gameplay with fun powers. Really the only frustrating part is the Map when trying to use it to get to/find some quest objectives, but the in person signage helps to get around very well.

Depends on your perspective. Witcher 3 is still the best IMHO because I value the characters, choices, and quests. While I really enjoyed Zelda it was a little too sparse and solitary for me in terms of character interactions and story driven quests.

Doing my best to try to do the same. I think the ones that are primarily not reviewing it well are the types to inject their political opinions and think that every game needs to be politically correct within the current culture. While I can understand them feeling that way, and being annoyed/bothered if a game and its story are contrarian to their beliefs I really just want to know if the game is good.

I'm just going off of the rhetoric and discussion around the time. MS was being laughed at and Sony lauded for "this is how you show of your new gen". That's all I was saying.

First let me preface this with the fact that I am definitely buying a PS5 (and likely not a Series X because the exclusives will likely be on PC)... For all the flack MS got for showing off games that look just like current gen, Sony basically should be getting the same criticism here. A couple of games are must gets for me (Horizon and Spider Man). Athia looked like it had the best graphics. Still none of them came close to the Unreal Engine 5 demo. I think we'll be mid-cycle before we get games like that.
