@Gods&Monsters sorry you got suckered by nvidia's shitty marketing. Nvidia laptop gpus are the biggest scams/deceptive marketing around, the laptop variants are often 1 or even 2 segments below the desktop parts in performance but they still cost an arm and a leg.

If it's still in the return window I'd ship that shit back. A 4050 laptop ain't a real gaming card.

Also look for laptops with zen3/zen4 cpus, they are way more power efficient = better battery life than intel cpus. Also cooler.

The CPU is AMD Ryzen 5. There's also an integrated AMD GPU + the Nvidia 4050. It's a hybrid model. I'll keep it as a regular laptop because I got it cheap.

I'll play next-gen stuff on my PS5. I was not impressed by the image in Alan Wake 2 anyway. Spider-man 2 was way more impressive as soon as the game starts.

I feel for you on the bummer laptop.

Then we have my new one. Borderlands 3 running a solid 36FPS at 4K, high settings and ray tracing enabled...

Finally going back to Hogwarts Legacy. I'm glad I waited to play it, just wish I didn't buy it day 1. Now on PC with all Ultra settings at 4k dlss quality im getting over 100fps and no stuttering. When I first tried to play it day 1, I could barely get 40-50 fps and there was non stop stuttering on medium settings

Been hooked on Songs of Syx for over a week now, will start Star Wars Jedi Survivor soon.
And ofc looking forward to Ragnarok DLC, although I am a bit rusty.

I am done with Diablo4 for this season.

Alternating between Streets of Rage 4, is really good, thanks @Satoru

also decided to continue playing the Last of us 2, I sort of put it on the back burner when i was a couple of hours in, i am not about 5 hours in and I feel like it's getting much more enjoyable.

Also just bought Resident Evil Village and its expansion but that will probably have to wait probably till the new year before i start it.

yer I wanted to treat myself, but could not decide between Village and Resident Evil 4, decided to go the Village route in the end as I could get the DLC included, and it still worked out cheaper than that 4.

Hope to give it a go in the new year.

Still waiting on a great deal for Sniper elite 5, i really liked the previous one

Still getting mileage out of Crew Motorsport.

Completed Destiny’s new Warlord of Ruin dungeon. Didn’t clear it last time and burned out on it by the boss but did so this time. Loved it. 3 boss battles. Noob friendly? No.

Looking for something a bit more cruise control and braindead into the mix. Probably gonna be Yakuza like a dragon or AW remastered but I’m leaning towards a jrpg

Edit: Yakuza it is! Hits the spot. Only played zero but I’m enjoying it off the bat. I always considered zero an rpg so I do enjoy this direction.
