Happy New Year and welcome back my friend!

Happy New Year !!

thanks i wish you a Happy New Year and a great start my Friends!

Happy New year! I'd love to start the year by playing with you guys!

Happy New Year! 2019

Awesome i will make sure to try it! Alan Wake had a great soundtracks and voice acting which made it a unique experience so surely Quantum Break will be an enjoyable experience too!

and btw we can Left 4 dead 2 tomorrow if you have time!

Finished it. Amazing game, excellent story! You should definitely try it.

And there are plenty more Alan Wake easter eggs. They're in the same universe.

hat's awesome this is something in common between us i care about the story a lot and i don't skip the cutscenes and i love reading and understanding in-game collectible documents it doesn't matter how time I'm willing to spend on them I just want to enjoy the full experience and keep the game rememberable after finishing it!

30fps is fine for single-player games as long as the performance is stable and btw I saw that screenshot about Alan Wake, i really hope that they will be working on alan wake 2 sooner or later i don't want the half-life 2 scenario to happen with this game, tbh you really made me motivated to try Quantum Break even more!

Thanks, I love collecting full series of games.

The game is very unique. After playing 6 hours today, I learned that it isn't only a game. Quantum Break is an experience. You need to play, watch and read your way through to properly understand the story.

Story is the heart of the game.

This isn't for people who just want to play something simply fun. Sure, there're enjoyable TPS set pieces and very unique (and well done) time-manipulating gameplay mechanics (like Alan Wake's light centric gameplay was only available to that game). But it isn't just a game, it is a book and a movie too.

There are ~30 minute long live-action cut scenes between Acts, which are directly affected by in game choices. And half of my hours were spent reading and understanding many collectible documents that expand and explain the story further (reminds me of BioShock 1).

I was an avid reader before getting my first computer. I prefer TPS over FPS. I prioritize story over anything in a game. And time-manipulation is my favorite kind of story. Feels like Quantum Break is made for me!

But oh my god, I've never played a game this demanding! At max settings (beyond ultra preset) I'm getting 30-40 FPS. Here's the shocker, at UPSCALED 1080p. At true 1080p FPS goes into lower 20's!!
I have locked it at 30 FPS with upscaled resolution to get a Xbox like experience. And so far performance is very stable (constant 30 FPS with no dips).

In exchange, the game looks pretty. Check out my screen shots.

so JC3 was already in your wishlist! i see you already started playing Quantum Break how is the gameplay and the story? btw nice collections!

Hey, I was going to tell you about my Winter Sale experience myself but Steam activity already revealed a lot.

I almost bought Just Cause 3 during summer sale but simply ran out of money. Well, I got it now.

Here's everything I bought: Quantum Break, Max Payne 3, Just Cause 3 w/ expansion pass, Crisis Collection (1, Warhead w/ Wars, 2), BioShock collection.

I'm planning to buy Deus Ex: Mankind Divided tomorrow to complete my Deus Ex collection.

Quantum Break is being downloaded right now. It says ~70 GB space is required but the download is only 36.4 GB. Reminds me of "highly compressed" games from piracy days.

Download is almost over, I'll start playing it tomorrow. I'll tell you if it has that Remedy feel (Max Payne, Alan Wake) to it.

Thanks, Merry Christmas guys!

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas!

well at first I rushed and picked up just cause 3 and then I watched the gameplay and I wasn't really impressed tbh, not planning on getting many games atm (real life needs ) but I'm thinking of getting one of these dark souls 3 Dying Light, shadow of war and far cry 4, any game with a co-op mode would be good to keep me playing it for a longer time.i'm actually having a lot of fun in RE6 co-op! i will take a final Decision after few days before the sale ends!

So, thought of anything yet?

i will tell him that and try to change his mind about the game somehow!

nice and smart choices especially Quantum Break and GTA V which is in a great sale, i also thinking of getting few games starting with resident evil 6 complete pack i got a friend who is ready to join the main campaign with me which can be played online I will think about the rest when the sale starts!

Tell your friend I, as a CS enthusiast, sincerely feel sorry for him. That's not the "Counter-Strike experience" I fell in love with.

Anyway. Yeah, I'm definitely getting something, just not sure what.

• Well, GTA V had a price drop (and couple of my fellow CSGO players bought it). But I won't play it before GTA IV, which I doesn't own.
• I also am looking at Far Cry 4, BioShock collection and Quantum Break; to satisfy any solo FPS needs.
• Or The Evil Within with Outlast 2 for a horror package.
• Or perhaps The Assassin's Creed series up until AC 3 (since I own AC 4).

nice and yeah in the same time we used to play in Sunday monday and tuesday!

i feel like they added the battle royal mode just because it's the new common trend! but hey a new extra game mode is always welcomed and it still has cs feel to it as you said that's why i liked it!

my friend tried it and he actually met 4 hackers in his first cs match ever, unfortunately he hated it for that , well grinding to reach level 21 takes some time so it's up to the players if they want to cheat after getting prime, let's hope this update won't ruin the game and valve know what they are doing!

are you planning on getting any games in this upcoming winter sale?

I'll try my best to join you guys. Same time we used to play? What days?

The Battle Royale mode is just fine. It encourages tactical gameplay, not run around & shoot anything in sight. I like it, it has that CS feel to it.

I have played a few games. Won my first, got 2nd place in second and 3rd in the third one. That's a pleasant coincidence.

I'm not so sure about making it free. The free part of the game (non Prime) will be filled with cheaters but Prime may benefit from it. Once a Prime cheater gets banned, he'll likely just make a free new account and continue cheating there. It's unlikely that they'll bother buying Prime and they'll probably be banned again within the time to reach level 21. So the cycle will continue.

nice, that's a great choice same here nothing special and btw me and Warlord and Skyler started playing l4d2 together you're welcome to join us as a fourth player (3 days a week) if it doesn't conflict with your plan of course! anyway what do you think about csgo being free,have you tried the new BR mode yet?

I did, thanks.

Nothing special. I plan to start Arkham Origins on Christmas Eve and finish before 26th December, to try and match the situation/mood/atmosphere in game.

You have any interesting plans?

no problem bro great to know that you're doing fine now i hope that you enjoyed your vacation! so what are your plans these days?

I'm very fine, thank you so much!

But I'm also very sorry for replying this late. I wrote the last comment while on the way to a 6 days long vacation. And there was no wi-fi. Unfortunately I caught fever on the way back and eventually forgot about this. I apologize.

hello bro thank you I'm doing fine how about you?

How are you, buddy?

wow that's Awesome my friend i'm really glad to know that haha!

My phone is fixed! I told you about the problem and it got solved; you bring me good luck, my friend.

hey, thanks!

i understand your situation and sorry for what happened to your phone I hope you get a new one soon!

Welcome to the club.

My phone, the Lumia 540 isn't working anymore. So I can't visit GSR when not on computer. But when on PC I always play games. So it's a bad situation right now (have been for a week). I do have a JIO phone but it can barely handle this site.

haha not really sure, in steam it will only take 2 clicks to craft the two card sets which I already own into badges to reach level 50 but I'm planning to wait until 20th October to do that so maybe there's still time to reach level 50 in GSR that if the levels didn't get a Reset or something like that!

From road to level 50 in Steam and GSR, which will you reach first?

yea probably this is the weirdest change that ever happened to the site!

Yeah. What a time to be here at GSR

Idk haha i think it's a bug that came out with the changes if yes it will be fixed soon!

edit: lol everyone got an extra level, now i'm level 49 just like my steam level

I see there are some changes in the site and some bugs too. btw how did you reach Level 48? Not only you but many others has some kind of a level boost

hi! happy to know, thank you bro!

Hi The new video is great

alright, deal!

Do you wanna play L4D2 today?

Edit: Okay, let's wait for Kyd. 49 minutes from now on.

thanks a lot!!

yeah, I actually started working on it when my internet was gone and I left it unfinished but I encouraged myself again and continued working on it yesterday!

Fantastic video my friend! Btw I watched the video even before your reading your comment, YouTube notifications worked.

So, you made it while your internet was gone?

nice choice, i think you're planning to play the whole Batman series from the beginning right? at first I thought I was about to have a boring week without internet but I was wrong I had a great time playing single player games like bf1 and half life 2. I have saints row the third you just made me want to play it again it btw i still have the steam backup files for it!

Past week I was playing Saints row 3 without any MP game. Next I'm gonna try Batman arkham asylum

great then!

ps: we still need a fourth teammate!

Yes that's fine (yesterday time)

perfect, I hope kyd will not have any problem playing in that time as well, and yeah I already played L4D2 with him yesterday! fun game and also you can download add-ons from the workshop to change the in-game soundtracks and the way the characters look like ( only you can see them tho) there's so much to do in this game!

I'm almost fine with that time. But this would be better for me, 12:00 PM CET to 16:00 PM CET.

Do you mean, you've already tried L4D2 with Kyd?

that's Awesome we will have a great time I can play from 11:00 AM to 15:30 PM CET lets us agree about a time which helps both of you! also ping won't be a big problem when I played with Kyd I got around 200ms which was playable for this game! Spoiler!

and yeah I told my brother about creating an account on GSR, he told me he will join but he didn't yet, I will remind him later!

Installing L4D2 right now. Just tell me when you guys wanna play!

And good choices on monitor and case. That reminds me, have you told your brother about GSR?
