Welcome to the Free Talk Tuesday Discussion!
What are you up to this week? Want to discuss gaming news? Or maybe share your progress in a game. Any non-gaming related posts are also allowed in this thread to be shared with like-minded people here.
A friend got me into GTA Online recently but having npcs snipe me out a jet isn’t really fun so I’m probably gonna go pick up planetside again
That’s why i never played public lobby’s… too many trolls. Tbf that was like 4 years ago.
What are some new games coming out soon that you are excited to see?
And is anyone else playing Dead Island 2 besides me?
Looking forward to Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart on PC. Probably the game that made the choice between PS5 and PC the most difficult for me. Just gonna hold off to see if it’s a decent port first.
I’m looking forward to Starfield, although it’ll probably be quite buggy for some time, we’ll see.
Right now I’m playing Gotham Knights (kinda boring) and Civilization 6.
I’m getting sold on Cities Skylines II from the teasers they keep releasing, so I might pick that up. Most of the other stuff on my wishlist right now is still TBA in terms of release date, but The Talos Principle 2 is slated for this year, so I’m excited for that; I really enjoyed both the themes and the puzzles of the first one, it was a great experience.

How many of us really give much thought to the audio aspect of games? For me, poor audio implementations, bad music, and lousy sound effects can destroy immersion. As an audio professional in the gaming industry it’s always fun to hear other people’s opinions on the matter.

Right there with ya. Off the (dusty) shelf sound effects, unintentionally low bitrate music, overall poor sampling and processing can make me hate a game. Can have the best 3D in the world but if it has 2D audio I’m out.
