I'm finishing up How to Survive and have started looking at How to Survive 2. The graphics are a nice bump but I haven't messed with it much yet. Has anyone else played this one?

I look forward to hearing your thoughts about this. I started it twice but could not continue due to the lacking story, boring conversations and focus on interactions. I like the theme and would like to start again if I know it gets better later.
Still playing AC:O - and I think it's getting better and better. Definitely the best open world Ubisoft game I've played, so far.
It's a combination of the best elements of almost every modern open world game - including games like Witcher 3 and Skyrim.
The story is engaging, too.
It's like Witcher 3 with better exploration, combat, loot and progression at this point. I'd also say that Alexandria is among the most impressive locations in any game - rivaling Novigrad and the like.
I'll have to see if it keeps up being this good, but so far so good.
I put this on hold for bit but after hearing that I will need to start it again! Btw are you having CPU issues on PC? Does it run well?
Bought Jade Empire this year to play for the first time myself. Definitely has some great elements, but like others I just found it too old & clunky to play for more than a few chapters.
Trouble is with games like those, is that they've been done so much better since (KOTOR, Dragon Age, Mass Effect etc.)
Some games should stay away from PC.The only thing that could make this even better would be if it ran on a PC.
I'm trying the Destiny 2 trial. Pew pew
EDit: this is one slick mofo of a game. Alas, I'll have to wait until it's more affordable.
Some games should stay away from PC.
I'm not saying all Dark Souls clones, but that one definetly should.
For then record, Jade Empire released after KOTOR and only one year before Mass Effect.
It runs very smooth 99% of the time on max settings - but there is the occasional stutter here and there - and the most demanding areas, like Alexandria, do suffer some drops in frame rate - but it's pretty minimal overall.
I do have a decent setup, though (1080ti GPU) - and my hardware is being pushed to its limits by the game.
I started it again on PS4 as my brother has finished it. The gaming look absolutely amazing! Its uo there with HZD and I have to say it, I like the look of this game more so than Witcher 3 (which is an old game now). I ran the game on my 980ti on my PC with max possible settings and the PS4 Pro holds up! You really have to look deep on the PC to see the some better effects.
Well, I find it very, very easy to see the difference between 30 FPS locked and 100+ FPS 0 input latency GSYNC on my 1080ti
That said, it does drop down to ~50-60 in the heaviest areas.
Also, since I use the bow almost exclusively, I wouldn't want to come anywhere near a controller with this game.
Stop showing off
I guess, with PS4, I am on TV and sitting bit far away. Anyway for almost all casual gaming purposes, I think consoles are more than fine in the graphics department.
I want a GSYNC monitor as well but the ultra wide versions costs well over £700+ and I won't trade an ultra wide for normal one any more. Its just so good!
Then again, it's only 2560 x 1080 - as I prefer performance over higher resolution.
