Fake frames, as opposed to the real life pictures other frames are…

You remind me of people who kept posting that the human eye can’t see frames past 30. Where are they now lol Oh that’s right; they’re right here!

Mark my words: you will use frame generation someday and you will not come back. Maybe from a future nvidia feature (eg DLSS), maybe from a monitor, in VR (been a thing for a while but it’s not good yet). You will like it.


You’re right, 20fps and low polycount is just fine. You still on a 360p CRT too?

It"s an $8 purchase that can quadruple your framerate, and at the very least, hides dips from any games. Sure, little use in turn-based games and point and clicks… but for everythong else, smoothness looks and feels better.


Oh, another reason: if it’s ever time to upgrade your GPU, try this $8 app and you might be able to push it another 3-5 years.

Still on a 3060 here and nowhere close to upgrading (cap the game at 41fps, get 164fps out)


Yep, I use it to in order to help games that are too cpu-intensive for their own good ;)


Amen, 60fps stutters. 75 or higher is fine, but to me anything around 60 looks bad, especially when the game is demanding because its low graphics still look photorealistic.


Even for top down arpgs, 60fps looks like shit when you taste 120+fps

For smoother gameplay with no dips when the game chugs or loads in the background.

Some people like ray tracing, some like smooth gameplay.


No Rest for the Wicked

Reviews were pretty harsh and videos did not make it look that great. It’s been my main squeeze for about 100 hours now, having me put other games on hold only to return to it every evening after work.

Not even done yet, but currently, it’s a very solid EA game.


Same. Any game I find so good I know I’ll wanna reinstall them in 10+ years, I get on GOG even after the original purchase on Steam.

Otherwise, I pirate a backup copy or get a crack plus Steam backup my game files, just in case.

Is online only, then fuck them, I’m not touching it…


Best purchase ever. It makes all my games run at 165fps, mostly without visible artifacts. And when it’s not perfect, it’s because the game itself can’t output above 50 fps… That app is wonderful!!



Bring those back Valve, I never got a chance to get one and want it so bad!


Any ImmSim games, where I basically try to pull of moves and finish the game with the most unlikely approach for combat.

Also, open world racing games like Carx Street. I just drive around with wheel and VR and drift for fun. I have 200 hours and barely finished the forced tutorial lol



Not sure you’d like it them. It’s basically Dark Souls at the start, then it becomes much crazier like DmC without a jump button. You start by getting destroyed by any enemy, then YOU become the monster they should run away from. Amazing powertrip for the record.

Then, mix in some spells (slow casting, no spam), Diablo/Grim Dawn loot (best I have seen in a non-arpg), and endless content and variety.

It’s combat system is very good and much deeper than Souls, especially with the Ki Pulse - kind of a manual stamina recharge button the squeeze in between attacks, on block, etc. Ads a nice dance to the combat.

So… can you name a few games you did enjoy? It’s so good, make sure you don’t overlook it.


No Rest for the Wicked

It’s better than I expected, but since it’s not really an arpg (PoE, LE, GD, etc.) or a crazy action game either, I’m starting to wonder why I would keep playing it over my beloved Nioh 2. I guess the amazing visuals, neat base building and slight verticality are a plus, but if I look at the combat alone, it’s very good and fun, but I hear Nioh 2 calling.

WAY better game that I expected tho, revoews have not been kind to it in the past.



Good simple solution, I love it! Auto moderation would indeed out them easily.


Yeah, reading Steam discussions ruined my day. Just full of racism under the vale of wokeness… Those fuckin’ “Is this game woke?” threads we see everywhere these days might as well be “Does this game have any non-white male characters?”

They are worst that the stupid asses calling for characters to have a gender option in games with a story. I mean, anyone here didn’t enjoy Die Hard because they could not relate to John’s gender or sexuality during all those fun action scenes?

Now, on a totally unrelated topic:

Looking to buy this game, but I wanna know before giving them any money; do the devs prefer a penis or clit in their mouth?



Wow, can’t wait to give that a shot, thanks for the recommendation :D



Oh yeah? Interesting!

That’s PvPvE only right, or is there offline PvE for loners too?


Oh, don’t worry, I think 2016 and DE are the best boomer shooters ever made, and play most other shooters to their music (I’ve been a fan of djent since Chaosphere).


You are not wrong about bots, but by deep gunplay, I mean gun mechanics, like planetside 2’s or CS.

Things like this:

Oh yeah, solid game I love it. Just not what I’m looking for sadly


Is non-sniper gunplay good like someone else mentionned here? From vids, the gunplay looks like what I have in mind, including the “stealth until you fuck up” aspect :)


Neat, most of those I have never heard of, thanks!


I enjoyed 2 and Wonderland tbh (I return to it often actually) but I’m hoping for something more realistic, impactful, violent. Locational damage, recoil control and headshots vs bulletsponges. That said, I like the rng weapons a lot and jumping around shooting monsters, like I do in SW2.

Just looking for something else here :)


Looking for a PC FPS with deep gunplay, where NPC enemies are humans
Is there any shooter that meets those criteria? * Enemies are just soldiers/rebels/gang members/humans? * Somewhat longer TTK * Ideally some deep gunplay like Planetside 2 (recoil patterns, bullet travel, CoF, etc) * Ideally some rng or replay value (roguelite, random encounters, etc.) * Not online only I just want to launch a game and fight after work, master guns and ideally unlock shit if that's not asking for too much. I used to get that in Planetside 2, but in my timezone, it's not an option and I'm offline a lot. Closest I found is: * **F.E.A.R**. (replayed the story over and over, but the guns feel pretty bad compared to modern games) * **Robocop** (LOVE the gunplay and locational damage, but the downtime is killing me at this point) * **Brink** (best example I guess...) * **Blacklight Retribution** against bots * Some **CoD** games like BO2 * **Maximum Action** * **Shadow Warrior 2** (some maps have a handful of humans but it's mainly monsters) * **RoboQuest** (my main squeeze atm, but it's robots without blood) * **Rico** * **RS Siege** Terrorist Hunt * **Payday 2** (IF it was possible to have longer ttk and much fewer cops) * **CS** & **Insurgency** with bots (but low ttk is kind of boring to me) Thanks!

Urg, AAA games suck ass more than ever. Thank christ for offline, AA and indie games!


Shit live services, don’t give them money for it or say goodbye to owning games.

Some really nice games on that list too!


I just want an offline PoE 1 rip. Is that too much to ask?

(Never gonna happen, I know I know)


It’s top down Noita, or BoI+Noita. I have 1k hours and am still discovering new effects and combinations every run, it’s nuts!

Pro tip: I wanted to milk it for all its got, so after reaching endgame content, I started a new toon and limited myself to 2 wands and no upgrades to life mana, starting stuff like keys or coins. Just “tentacle girl” updates and it’s been really good. I die because of mistakes, not because of balance. Otherwise, you’ll get a bit too strong and steamroll every enemy and boss at some point (100 hours in or so).


And as always, more expensive than a PC with free onoine gaming and similar power. You pay more upfront, and recoup within 18 months…


Well, Steam reviews has it as Very Positive (81%) atm. That’s not so bad, even at that price point. After reading this, I expected reviews to be much lower.


Striving for Light. It’s the only real hybrid I have found between an arpg and a roguelite. A bite-sized PoE if you will.

Otherwise, in more or less the same genre, Magicraft (my GOTY 2024) and a tiny bit of Hellclock, tho it has yet to hook me because so far it’s boringly easy - I’m still very early in the game.



I tried it when it was free, and had a hard time climbing the wall in the tutotial because full stamina was JUST enough to make it. If I was asked why I put it down after an hour, that would have been up my list.

I get stamina and sometimes think it makes the game better, but in a parkour fantasy, IDK, surely didn’t make it more fun for me.


Honnestly, even with just a controller and the usual “gunface” from Vorpx, it’s more immersive than most actual VR games, and since weapons are more of a fallback/tool in this game. Well worth a bit of config with Vorpx.


It’s so good I stopped playing half way and installed mods to make it harder, imposed some self-restrictions and made it work in VR (Vorpx) so that I can be fully immersed in the experience, reading all the logs which I never do in games and try to milk every bit of this masterpiece. I have not finished it yet, but it’s still the best game ever made in my book.

And to think I took like 4 years to buy it and thought the trailers made it look boring as hell - I was new to immsims back then…

I’ll say it again: masterpiece.


Gone Home.

Great game but you basically search a house looking for something thatvwould have happenedbto the girl daughter, but in the end, she’s just moved to her own place amd everything if fine with the parents too.
