PGA Tour golf. First time out this year, and I shot well below double bogey golf, which is good for me.
I'm not sure I even want to know what GTA Online golf is...
What other games are we all playing?

The golf game in GTA is actually quite good. I can play it for hours.

See, people said the same about the first RDR.
I think at the time there were some technical limitations, GTA IV too was a poor port to PC as far as I know. However, with GTAV it changed so I'd think a PC port should be in the cards.
The original RDR is still one of the best games I've ever played, acually that is the only game I miss from my old PS3 times.
As about other games, especially as I uninstalled Elite after almost four years.
I bought AC Origins, that is the only 2d game that makes use of my 1080ti and... wow, this game is a proper eye candy! Many say Black Flag is the definitive AC, but I hate the sailing mechanics and it feels like a remastered PS3 game, especially compared to Origins. I'm looking forward playing it through, and then picking up Odyssey as well!
I bought American Truck Simulator, but graphics in VR are kindeóa underwhelming. Otherwise it is a nice game unless my trailer gets stuck.
Mutant Year Zero is still discounted and heavily contemplating picking it up now.
And yeah, otherwise I'm still playing World of Warships.
I cant imagine they'd forgo on a PC port, but it wouldn't be the first franchise that completely passed by me because of platform exclusivity.
Heheh, I just installed WoWs, yesterday and played two battles. Got my butt kicked pretty bad.I think at the time there were some technical limitations, GTA IV too was a poor port to PC as far as I know. However, with GTAV it changed so I'd think a PC port should be in the cards.

And if you like graphics in Origins, wait until you try Odyssey!
This is my first Rockstar game. While the open world of GTA intrigued me, I'm not a fan of the GTA ethos. I didn't pay RDR much mind because I assumed it was a "Grand Theft Horse" version of GTA. When RDR2 was set to release, I researched it and came to the conclusion it's something different than GTA, and my playthrough so far (which is only up through chapter 2) has validated this assessment. I prefer being the "honorable" thief, as much as the story allows, and the game and the gang reminds me alot of Firefly. The world seems much more realistic for the era it portrays than GTA as well. And what a stunningly beautiful world!
It's got lots of micromanagement and "minigames", but I enjoy that. Perhaps after my 100th bath and shave I'll be sick of the micromanagement, but compared to a game like NMS, it feels balanced right now. I enjoy playing a game like this more slowly, taking my time, enjoying off-mission activities like hunting, fishing (though I've yet to get my pole), identifying plants and animals, taking pictures, looking for dinosaur bones, and who knows what else I've yet to unlock. I hear the story is kinda depressing by the end (no spoilers please), so I'm in no rush to "finish" it.
The graphics and sound and environment are freak'n AMAZING! It's likely the best-looking game on my PS4, though some of that opinion is based on my preference of environments. For example, Spider-Man also has amazing graphics, but I'm a country boy who prefers the wilderness and plains to the busy streets of NYC. Graphics-wise, it definitely makes puts ED to shame on my console, though many games do LOL.
It also shows that single-player games are far from dead. RDR2's world feels more "alive and populated" as a single-player game than many multiplayer games. NPCs in RDR2 feel like actual characters living real lives in their era. Many multiplayer / MMO games just feel like a bunch of people playing a video game together, especially when players do things totally out-of-context like jumping around like a deranged moron. I find the former way more immersive. The latter often turns the game into a theme park or "The Amazing Race". That said, I just started experimenting with RDR2 Online, and I have no idea if I'll like it or not. I do like creating my own characters, so we'll see.
Anyway, this is turning into a wall of text, so let me know if you have any specific questions. I'm playing on 'humble' PS4 Slim and am super impressed!
Yeah WOWs is the that game you need to be in the flow. I had my ups and downs to the extreme, the matchmaking in this game is definitely driven by strange 'player experience' algos, and I hate it for this.
AC for me is always a strange offering. On one hand it has extremely good details in the open world with loads of content, but the gameplay is clunky comared to Rockstar games (I guess the dev cycle is too short, especially compard to R*). However, Origins made a way better impression than Black Flag so far.
If you haven't already, get the Assassin Origins Curse of the Pharaohs DLC - its easily 20-30h of new content on the completely new map. For the current price its a steal.
Thanks for the heads-up! I will see how fast I'll progress and will definitely consider it. Odyssey is getting cheap too - so much content, so little time (with three kids)!
Well, Odyssey when it came out took me 150 hours to beat, second (100%) playthrough even more and I now have 50+ hours in its two DLCs (the second one is just the first chapter, though but is bloody massive.
If you decide to stick with the series, you may as well file for a divorce.
See, people said the same about the first RDR.
Fair enough, but at that time (9 years ago) it wasn't nearly as hot a piece of property as it is now.
Admitted, i'm not following the game or Rockstar's stance on a PC version in detail.
It's just that from a commercial point of view and from my general observations of the games industry i can't see it not happening.
Pure opinion that of course, and i'm not looking for an argument. I'm not invested in RDR in any way, shape or form.
I'll certainly have a closer look at it though if/when it hits PC.

Well, that's because Chris Roberts hasn't saved PC gaming yet. Just give him time!

Yes, perhaps.
And given how often PC gaming has been declared dead by now, perhaps they should get themselves a more reliable crystal ball.
Well, he certainly opened the eyes of many PC gamers when comes to monetization.
Suddenly things like a simple DLC season pass, which was something I really hated the idea of, just a couple years ago, doesn't look that bad, any more.
So he's helping. I'm just not sure whom.
It may be a wall, but an interesting wall.
Thanks for the feedback. Seems like we have something in common where it comes to gaming.
please keep the updates on RDR2 coming. Thanks again.
I think if I could have summed up RDR2...I would have written almost exactly the same.
The only difference being, I'm on my 4th playthrough and I'm still enthralled from start to finish. The multiplayer side of RDR2 is where the Yeehaw GTA comes in. Most of my short time attempting multiplayer has been through being dragged around behind some randoms horse for 20 minutes after being lassoed, getting shot in the face multiple times by jumping, sprinting 'tards toting varmint rifles, shot 5 times by supposed team mates immediately after match making and starting a mission... and a grand total of not being able to achieve anything at all.
When R* bring in private invite only free roam servers like they offered in the first game, I'll try it out again...not before then.

There's supposed to be a new "defensive" mode that sounds a little like PvE. It greatly limits what other players can do to you. Now there are other ways to grief people. Just jumping up and down in another player's face is griefing AFAIAC. I see this sometimes in team games with FF turned off - some idiot on my team will just stand in front of me, blocking my view, acting like an idiot. Unfortunately games like this attract all the bored 12 year olds who are extra creative at ruining the experience. It's the main reason I don't even bother with a mic.
On the other hand, if the map is big enough and player groups are spaced out, I can get great enjoyment from hiding and watching. I sometimes play Fortnite, and it's relatively easy for me to get down to the top 10 or even #2 on occasion by playing stealthy and letting everyone else battle it out. I'll be a RDR2 ninja!
I'm not interested in the online mode at all, I've been a single player most of my gaming life anyway.
I just started my 2nd playthrough and am in chapter two now, first thing I did as soon as the stabbles were unlocked was getting me the White Arabian lol.
I'm putting more priotity on the side missions and random things you can do now instead of the story and I'm loving it all over again.
Rdr2 is one of those games you only see once in a long time, near perfection.
If only Fdev had the same quality and cunningness Rockstar has, ED would be a feast from begin to end.
