Re: PC & Console games - Discussion Thread

Just picked up Ghost of Tsushima on PS4 recently.

What a splendid title it is. Notwithstanding the fact that it is based in fedual Japan which itself is a brand new setting for any open world action adventure game, the combat system is absolutely unreal. The opportunity of taking out multiple enemies buy just 1 blade swing is out of this world satisfying. The visuals are great too. But its all about the combat.

For anyone who likes the the whole open world adventure category, give this one a go.

Except for wafer thin storyline, it is a gem of a game. As you progress you will realize there are so many ways to play the game, and you can keep altering your play style to keep the game.

One of the rare games I felt like getting the platinum trophy, and eventually got it.

Re: PC & Console games - Discussion Thread

Hi Everyone, I am new to console gaming and I would like some help in understanding that if I buy a game from Microsoft store, do I necessarily need to have some type of membership like Xbox game pass or Xbox live gold to use the game or I can just play the game as I don't do multiplayer as the deals is really lucrative like below.

I've had an Xbox One since 2015 and I used to maintain an Xbox Gold membership. My observation is that if you are going to keep gaming heavily and if you're going to keep buying newer games, these memberships make total sense. Buying individual games without these memberships is a sureshot way to bankruptcy especially in the Indian market (since games come way cheaper in the US).

Right now, I start the console up maybe once in a month and I have 1 or 2 trusted games that I like to play all the time. I'm happy with that.

Re: PC & Console games - Discussion Thread

Started playing Sniper Elite 4, an old game. I'm sure many people would've completed this game few years back itself. God, is the level map big and detailed. Took close to 2 hours to complete just the first level, and was amazed how big the level was. As I could speculate from the first level itself, there are multiple ways to complete a level, from stealth to hardcore FPS. I'm guessing, either gameplay choice would yield a totally different experience. Looking forward!

Cheers!

I myself don't game much at max I will be completing 3 to 4 titles a year which will go down more in the near future and I try to keep my purchase below Rs.1500 and neither I am into new title and all that's why the Live gold membership and game pass don't seem worth to me.

Another issue I ran into is I am unable to add the SBI Visa card to Microsoft account for purchase, it throws up an error stating my details don't match and not able to get any support is also really frustrating neither the chat support nor the call support works from Microsoft.

I have a Rupay Debit card in my name and my mother has a Visa Debit card which I am trying to use could this be the reason, if yes then I don't see any possible way to make purchases any time soon. If anyone can help it'll be really nice.

I have tried adding 2 Visa cards and they throw up the same error, i know this might be a stretch to ask on a public forum but if someone here can make a purchase as gift for me and I'll pay them the amount.

Re: PC & Console games - Discussion Thread

Got myself Shadow of Tomb Raider, Red Dead Redemption 2 for PC on Steam sales recently. While Tomb Raider game is nothing revolutionary, RDR 2 is just amazing in terms of graphics and environment fidelity. I am hardly 2 hours in and the vistas in the game at night, long draw distance, character models and lighting just steal the show. enjoying it.

Was thinking of getting Cyberpunk 2077, but looking at the huge amount of issues on PC, have decided to skip for now and will probably pick up for sale next year when bugs are ironed out.

I have got myself a 3090 FE and it's already arrived but I am away for another 4 days. Upgrading from a 2080 which was sufficient tbh but have trigger fingers.

Cyberpunk 2077 is one of the reason for getting this.
