I was planning on going in day 1, but I think I'm waiting for a sale at this point with all the mixed reviews. It's not like I don't have a huge backlog of games to play while I wait.

So you'll intentionally avoid good games because you're not a fan of the IP? That's a strange hill to die on.

That's quite a stretch calling them good games before they exist, but yes I pass on a lot of "good games" that don't interest me. Crazy right?

I'm not a Disney/Star Wars guy so I know I won't be purchasing these three games for sure, and I'm sure Battlefield is done for good. I wonder if BF2042 could be my last EA purchase ever? What a way to go out.

I had not played the prior Watch Dogs releases and I went into this expecting it to be Division 2 in a different setting. And it kinda was, but I just never could get into it like I did Division 2. Division 2 was very immersive for me. This game was kinda like GTA in London for me, and I don't like GTA.

I played it a bit late last night/early morning. I didn't play past the tutorial so I don't have much to add other than it seems very well optimized. I'll have to find out if it's fun tonight.

Hey, if you are not on board, you can hit the road. No hard feelings.

Isn't that always a choice anywhere? It's not like Riot is giving something you don't already have. It's amazing that they present that like a gift.

Raven runs Warzone. They are not only around but handing one of the biggest games out there.

I picked up Monster Crown, Into the Pit, and The Last One Month. Haven't played them yet.

I picked this up awhile back on sale for $23.99 on Switch. It's a great Switch game, and I had never played it before. I doubt I'll pick it up on PC.

I noticed the DLSS option is missing now since the update unless you switch from the default DX11 to DX12 beta. And DX12 beta still crashes just like before. Don't judge me for playing this game.

This game is in much better shape then I thought it would be. Reading all those tweets from the leaker dude made it sound like the launch was going to be a disaster.

I only had time for the forced bot match when you first launch the game before work. It's hard to judge from that, but frame rate is disappointing. It's not choppy or anything per se, but on a 5950x with a 3080 Ti I'm getting drops to less than 100fps and that's with DLSS ON and default settings.

Medal of Honor

From HardwareUnboxed:

"I’ve found what looks to be an issue/bug with Windows 11 with AMD CPUs that might catch reviewers out. If you install W11 with a 5950X for example, and then change to the 5800X or really any other Ryzen CPU, the L3 latency increases..."
"and gaming performance drops quite significantly, sometimes by 20%. I’ve had this issue with a few CPU changes now. I first ran into it with a fresh W11 install on the Ryzen 5 3600, installed the 5950X and gaming performance was well down on where it should be..."
"Basically, it seems like you have to fresh install Windows 11 for every CPU change. I’d like to know if anyone else is seeing this issue or can replicate it. Needless to say it’s making updating our data a nightmare."

I wonder if some of the reviews are skewed because of this?

I really should play Warhammer II, oh and maybe Warhammer I as well since I own them both already.

This game was dead in 2018. I'm very surprised it still exists. The game itself was OK, but with no players it didn't matter if it was good or bad. Ah, reading on Steam it has a new owner or publisher now. Maybe I'll reinstall to see if anyone is there.

It feels much better to play now then the beta did that's for sure. I don't have any mechanics details for you though as I didn't dive that deep into the beta.

It's free to play.

Even better!

I still haven't finished Wildlands, then when I finish that I have Breakpoint to play still. This new one should be on a nice sale by the time I'm ready for it.

Preload is broken on Origin currently. The open beta is not appearing in anyone's library.
