PC High Resolution Screenshots

^ nVidia have just released a hotfix driver and SotTR no longer crashes. Time to grab those relics I couldn't get to before.

I've just started playing through... and I think it's great. The only downside is how crash-prone it seems to be. I've found certain areas on the map where I can get a repeatable crash, time-after-time. It's reporting a hung device driver and suggests my PC might not be able to cope with the settings I've enabled. Hmm... I would disagree! The hung device driver issues seems to be quite common.

I had this problem on my second play through. I think it might be restricted to Turing cards.

 

[SharkyUK]

Yeah, I think you might be right mate - the vast majority of posts I've read about this issue seem to be from Turing card owners.

Having taken 4 months off work (and counting) I found a bit of time to catch up on a few games. I was pleasantly surprised by Rage 2... when it wasn't crashing to desktop. It was quite unstable (and a bit samey after a while) but enjoyed playing it through to completion. The graphics were quite impressive at times, too - sadly the screenshots don't quite do it justice due to post-processing blurring out some of the detail during capture.

EDIT: Screenshots downscaled on upload to forum, hence look ultra-crap now!

Gears of War 5 has been fun. Still a fan of the series and looks superb.

Metro Exodus is cool, too - loving the RTX touches.

The graphics power nowadays is ridiculous, yet I'm sure that in 10 years time we'll be fully-immersive VR headset-wearing introverts lol

Whatever happened to Pacman?!

Why wait 10 years? I know quite a few people like that already...

I have got to admit, since buying my lad a gaming PC for Xmas, i can see why people favour them over consoles.

I know we laugh and take the piss about the 'PC Master Race' - but if you're that way inclined, there really is no direct alternative.

Consoles have their place - I certainly can't deny that. But when you experience the potential of what PC gaming offers - the console alternatives just don't compare. I started back in '81 with an Atari. I've had Segas, PlayStations, XBoxes and various handheld consoles over the years. But PCs are in a different league. Yes, they can cost many times the face value of a mainstream console when starting from scratch. But it comes down to just how much you want to go do that superior path.

 

[Willo40]

For sure mate, i have never really considered a PC, but now i certainly would before i bought another console.

Holy thread revival, Pacman!

I've only just got round to playing through Robocop and, despite finding it quite easy, it was an enjoyable romp. I was really impressed with the lighting and environments in some places.

I keep forgetting I bought this, need to have a play through.

Another game I've enjoyed recently has been South of Midnight, through GamePass. It's a first-party Microsoft title that has very much gone under the radar. It's a little different to the games I usually play but it had me hooked to see it right through to the end. There's some fantastic art direction throughout and some great audio, too.
