Downloading the Doom Open Beta on Steam right now.

[Enjoyed]

Interested to hear your thoughts when you've got stuck in...

General:
It's just the multiplayer    It's fast and stuff, but not the same fun Quake Arena was. But Doom for me is the Singleplayer, so i can't give a final opinion.

Technical:
Runs on both my PC and my XboxOne very smooth. On the Xbone it looks good, but playing it with a Gamepad doesn't make sense for me and is not so much enjoyable. On the PC i think they should work a bit on the graphics. Don't think they are final because it doesn't look like a 2016-Game, more like ID's Rage (2011 or 12). Also both maps you can play in Deathmatch-Mode aren't so much fun, they're too much crooked and complex.

The matchmaking screen is nice, I can tell you that much. I wish I could tell how the actual game is...

Anybody into the requirements for Doom ?

Minimum
•Intel Core i5-2400/AMD FX-8320
•Nvidia GTX 670 or AMD Radeon HD 7870 (both with 2 GByte VRAM)
•8 GByte RAM


Recommended
•Intel Core i7-3770/AMD FX-8350
•Nvidia GTX 970 or AMD Radeon R9 290 (both with 4 GByte VRAM)
•8 GByte RAM


Now the question: As CPU i have an older Intel core 2 quad q9450 - how does he compete to the ones from minimum requirements? The multiplayer beta runs well, but how about the single player?

CPU will rarely be the bottleneck on recent games. I mean if you have a fast one, even if it's a few years old, it will be fine as long as you have a fine GPU

Have the Radeon 7870. So basically I'm full minimum.

I could finally try the Forza 6 Apex "beta" on my PC.

- Dynamic video settings (adapting in real time to the performance of your computer), good !
- Horrible optimization (the game runs at 30fps and looks significantly uglier than on Xbox One. And I have a GTX 980) : not good
- Releasing a free to play version AND a "beta" of the free to play version because they're probably aware of that awful optimization: ... smart ?

Anyways, I'm happy to finally see a Forza game on PC, and I'm pretty sure they'll figure out how to get it running like a charm eventually (and I'll probably have a GTX 1080 by then anyway)

[ThePumisher]

And I have a GTX 980

[Ben_j]

I've had it for a year so it's ok I'll get a 1080 in a few months.

Back on Forza 6, Microsoft pushed a big update that increases the performance for Windows Store games, and it does indeed ! The game now runs wonderfully at 60fps with all parameters in ultra except for MSAA (4x instead of 6x)

[ThePumisher]

Ok, now that i've got Doom i have to say that it is really really good. Doom3 had a much darker atmosphere which i liked a bit more, but it's fun to play. Also, had graphics on ultra (except shadows, this i can only set up to high because it says i don't have enough gpu-memory (have 2gb, needs 5gb)) and it runs smooth in 1920x1200 (v-sync on).
But now i'll have to leave an watch football (last bundeliga-day today, except for relegation) - COME ON FC (köln)

I just stumbled upon Kosek in a ranked game of Rocket League He got rekt. 9 - 0

Pics or didn't happen!

Who did I have there? a rookie and a semi-pro?
Playing solo against a party is always harder as they know how to rotate. I wish Solo Standard had more in playlist.
I'm just a Prospect II but this is really an ELO HELL. How many times do I see even a PRO leave the goal at kickoff. How can you do that?

Also I'm playing keyboard and mouse No worries I'll get you next time
Btw your Party is making the mistake of going 2 for the ball at kickoff. You should not do that.

Should I buy Fallout 4?

I mean, I know I should, but I want someone to really, really sell it to me.

I generally just play the Batman Arkham games to death...

I'm enjoying immensely new expansion for Wither 3 atm, guys from CDProject deliver again!

[sandelic]

wow, I just realized that I've slept for little over 8 hours in last two, three days... well ,fuck sleep, I'm not done with Witcher yet And weekend is starting today, gods, it's great! I might even catch some sleep.
I know you guys could not give a flying f@ck about witcher, but I'm happy as clam! And I'm gone!

I finally got a GTX 1080 ! And what am I playing with it ? DiRT 2, a 7 years old game This game is awesome, DiRT 3 is nowhere as good and fun as 2 was.

I also tested more recent games, they mostly all run at full settings in 1080p at 70 - 80 fps. Some run in 4k at 60fps, and it's really nice.

[sandelic]

don't worry, I have friends who play dota on 980

INSIDE. This is fucking good. Incredibly beautiful, fantastic sound design, and building on the gameplay that made Limbo so good.
