The video game thread.

Microsoft didn't really have any "system sellers" on the last gen.  Yeah there was Forza and Halo, but neither franchise had really must-have releases during last gen.  I bought a xbox pro model a few years back, but still primarily played PS4 even though Xbox had more power.

Bethesda is a different story.  I play the hell out of Skyrim and Fallout.  Along with The Show, that is about all I play when I get a chance to play.  I would by a gaming system if it only played Bethesda game and that was it.

And there is always the PC route

Yeah, if this game is good, I'll def check it out on PC.
I have a gaming PC but barely even use it, except for Flight Sim 2020.

If they keep pumping these PS5's and Series X out at the current snail's pace, most everyone may be playing on PC in 2022, regardless of which system they would prefer to have

Also anyone else pumped for Metriod Dread shown at the Nintendo direct? Looks great!!!

Also one month until Legend Of Zelda Skyward Sword HD Remake - I loved this game and don't think it got enough love the first time around.

Super excited for Dread! I've been yearning for another 2D Metroid for a long time!

babies have been born and graduated high school since the last 2D Metroid.

Decided to get Mass Effect Legendary Edition even though I'm not a huge fan of playing games I've already gone thru ... but it has been 14 years (!) since I played that one ... and man am I glad I did.  This is one of the greatest games ever.  If you like science fiction, RPG's, 3rd person shooters, political intrigue and lore that is as deep the Game of Thrones book series, you should pick this game up.

It was like opening a favorite book from years past.  The graphical improvements don't put it far behind current games, but it was so far ahead of the curve when it came out.

It has Mass Effect 1, 2, and 3 ... I was planning on skipping right to Mass Effect 2 because I doubted Mass Effect 1 could hold up even with improvements ... I'm glad I was absolutely wrong as I'm having a blast.  A great game to pick up if you are looking for something to play (or replay) this summer.

Do you like video games?

If so, which ones? And why?

I've always been a Nintendo girl at heart and the Legend Of Zelda games are my faves.  They're just charming to play and the storyline and music really adds to the gaming experience.  However, I've not had a chance to play much Nintendo in a few years as the Xbox has taken precedence so I've been playing Call of Duty on that

Xbox sent me a message that X Cloud gaming is now available for Game Pass subscribers so I decided to test it out yesterday.  I ran it on a 4 year old Lenovo Yoga laptop with no dedicated video graphics card … a non-gaming PC that could barely run simplistic games from 10 years ago.  Internet speed was around 90 mbps.

 

You go to xbox.com/play and sign in.  You have to use MS Edge or Chrome browsers.  I chose Edge because Chrome is pretty resource intensive for a web browser.  I connected an Xbox controller to my PC thru Bluetooth which took less then a minute to figure out.

 

Signing in was simple and all of the games were there to choose.  I don’t think the entire Game Pass library is available, but there is more then enough games to keep you busy.  The first game I tested was Fallout 76.  I was pretty surprised that the game loaded up in less then 30 seconds … and that I could also play it!  This game is not installed on my PC as there is no way in hell it could even get past the loading screen if I had it installed.  It had all my progress carried over from playing it on my Xbox.  Not as buttery smooth as my Series X, but it worked fairly well. 

 

The second game I tried was F1 2019.  Again the game loaded up fast and carried my progress over.  I ran a lap around the China F1 track and it looked great and ran great … until a little stutter around a corner put me in a wall.  I did notice a little lag or stutter in Fallout 76, which was no big deal, but might make racing games at high speeds not fun to play.

 

Then I tested out MLB the Show 21.  It is a good thing my internet at work sucks are I would be tempted by this!  Again fired right up and ran surprisingly well and carried my progress over, although I did need to adjust my timing for input lag for hitting and pitching. 

 

Then I tested out a game that came out a week ago, The Ascent.  I had not played this before.  Game loaded and I was playing in a few minutes.

So pretty amazing that this tech is now available and working.  It is still in Beta, but works much better then I anticipated.   I need to get to a place with faster internet to see if that helps improve things as well.

 

The days of buying high end PC gaming rigs may be coming to an end sooner than anticipated.

That's really cool!
Crazy to think that all you need is a screen and an internet connection!

Flight Sim 2020 for Series X is the Chill Game of the Year.  Picked up a Thrustmaster HOTAS One flight stick for $90 and it is a worthy purchase if you intend to play this game.  For someone like me that used to spend a lot of time on Google Earth, this is pretty amazing.  Real world map so you can fly over your uncle's house in parts unknown.   I've flown in Yosemite, under the Mackinaw bridge, NYC, Seattle, San Diego coast, and a ton of places I lived and grew up in and it is incredibly realistic.  And I'm just learning the entry Cesna 152 and having a blast. 

Series X even supports keyboard ... mouse support isn't working properly yet.   Once mouse support is hopefully figured out, it will make the game ideal for playing with a HOTAS stick ... right now I need to use the xbox controller in tandem for looking around the cockpit making instrument adjustments and moving cameras which isn't ideal, but I can make due.  The mouse works for a little bit, but then cuts out. 

I just open the world map and pick a spot, load Spotify in the background and go on a road air trip.

Ohhh, and a Top Gun expansion is coming this fall.  Oh yeah!

 (note: i think they totally wiffed on that high five attempt)

Nice!  I have it for my gaming PC.  Got the yolk, throttle quadrant and pedals.  It's def a lot of fun.
I mainly bought it so I could use it to stay...somewhat current....when I'm not actually flying.  I was in flight school prior to Covid, and haven't flown since March 2020.  I'm def going back to complete my training for my license, but in the meantime, the sim keeps me....sort of...flying.  haha

That is very cool that you have taken flight school.  Pursue that dream!  Sounds like you are very close.  Dreams become reality with persistence.

I've always been intrigued by flight.  Almost went into the air force academy out of high school but was not sure about the commitment at that time.  I've look into flight school, but not for at least a decade.  I was hoping for a chance to play this sim to see if it might rekindle a fire in me, but didn't want to invest in a gaming PC, so I was pretty stoked when xbox announced this game ... although my first attempt I crashed into the side of Mt Everest within 4 minutes so maybe I need more training.  I think this game would be pretty cool in virtual reality headset ... not sure if PC support that or not ... maybe might have to look at a gaming PC if it does.

I hope you have a chance to get your actual wings in the future.  I'm pretty sure you will.

Thanks man.  Yeah, I was around 30 hours when I grounded myself due to Covid.  The flight school stayed open, but I didn't want to sit shoulder to shoulder in a tiny-ass plane and bring the Rona home for what was more or less a hobby.  I mean, it's one thing if you get sick as a result of going to work, or catching it at the grocery store...you know, shit you need to do.  Oh well.

I've heard you can play it in VR on PC but it's really not good.  Even with a powerful PC and a high end headset, I've heard it's really bad.

When I got my setup, I told my flight instructor and he was like "Ok, do this, do that, practice this, blah, blah, blah..."
For the next 3 days, I did all the shit that I would never do in real life...which turns out, is WAY more fun than doing the shit you should do as a pilot.  hahahaha!

You should look into flying again.  At the least, do a discovery flight at your local flight school.  They'll take you up for bit, let you fly the plane and you can check out some cool sights.  Once I did that, I was like "fuck yeah, sign me up!"

Back in around 2005, I saw where you could go to Australia and go on a 2-3 week flight school trip across the country where you would earn enough flight time to qualify for a license.  It was around $12K at the time, but considering what I figured the cost to train here in the US and also go on a tour of Australia, it seemed to make financial and logical sense.

One of my neighbors just got her pilot license ... I don't know her very well, but my sister is friends so I will try to quiz her on where / how she got trained sometime.  My dad was halfway thru training back in the 70's before me and my siblings were dropped off by the stork and he ended up dropping out midway thru the training ... I think my mom at the time may have "suggested" he quit or start learning how to dodge frying pans as well.  I used to study his training materials ... slide rule and all.  I may go searching for that material this weekend.

The sim does allow you to do some things that may be frowned upon by the FAA.  I don't think many pilots with 10 hours of flight time are allowed to buzz Half Dome and then pitch down the face of it into Yosemite valley before pulling up at the last second or go down Broadway in NYC. 

Do you have any of the DLC or any recommendations on what to add?  The xbox game seems like a direct PC port and hasn't been dumbed down for the console.  I have the free world updates installed.   Also, do you mainly fly planes similar to what you are training or are there others that you would recommend checking out?  There is a Aviat Husky that looks pretty cool for $15 but figured there are free planes available that I should fly before spending money on planes.

I think I got the full package when I got it, so it has all the planes, airports and everything....I think.
When I'm trying to keep up, I fly the plane I train in, which is a Cessna 172 with G1000 avionics.
When I'm messing around i'll fly other things...things more fun than a C172. 

The only thing that sucks about trying new planes, is getting everything set up and paired to the hardware (throttle, yolk, pedals, buttons...)
Takes a long ass time, but it is fun to "feel" the difference in flight characteristics of different planes.  That said, the sim is a sim and there is no real feel.  And if you fuck up on the sim, you don't have to worry about a wing ripping off due to g-load.  haha 
Oh, and no matter what I do, I can't get the rudder authority to match what is in a real plane.  Tried all the settings and sensitivities, and I can't get it close.  
I think it would be awesome if they could simulate flying into a TFR...and have F-16s scrambled to come after you.  Ha!

I still havent gotten the new Gen console yet.  Kind of leaning toward going XBox this time.  Mainly for the bethesda exclusives, The Show is no longer exclusive, and backward compatibility

Haven't bought a console since Wii-U (2013?) but the new Xbox seemed nice when my brother showed it to me. Gamepass is a really cool "netflix" way to try both old and new games one might have missed. And a good way to get a UHD-player for when an ultimate physical release of Terminator 2 finally arrives.

Just finished Last of us part II. 
I can honestly say Last of Us 1 was one of the best I've played. Last of Us 2 was one of the absolute worst. Stay far far away.

Playing Red Dead 2, pretty slow start. 
Getting really sick of these 50 hour games, even when ignoring side missions and playing through the story on the easiest level. Makes me miss games like Limbo and Inside.
But my daughter and I play Castle Crashers, that game is awesome.
