Tell Me Why is free this month

Dontnod won't tell us why, but it's probably something to do with pride.

Finally got round to ordering a PC. Think I spent two months of looking every day, and I couldn’t find anything better than this deal, so I ordered today. I was told it would be 2-3 weeks for delivery. Thanks for all the advice to those who helped me.

On to monitors now.

Cheers. The Gigabyte G27Q is high up there. I’ve been looking at the G27QC, the former being an IPS and the latter a curved VA panel.

From what I gather IPS panels are better for gaming as VA panels suffer from motion blur and ghosting. But I’ve had 3 IPS 4K TVs and the contrast is shocking on all of them.

Balls.

Maybe in the past, but VA panels are really good these days. If you want the absolute best response for gaming, you want a TN panel. But then you get poor colour accuracy and terrible viewing angles.

VA panels are the best compromise these days, in terms of colour accuracy, blacks, refresh rates and price. They most certainly don't deserve their reputation gained from early VA panels.

You’ve backed up my thoughts so I’ll go for that.

Got fed up of not being able to see anything when wherever game I’m playing goes dark. VA it is.

I’ll go for the Gigabyte. Just got to decide whether to spend £310 new or £250 manufacturer refurbished.

I'm downloading Genshin Impact to give it a try, anyone played it?

Frostpunk is this week's free game on Epic.

Its a gacha game at heart. Some good openworld RPG stuff not too dissimilar to Zelda BOTW. Great if you like to gamble money over some scantilly clad girl characters.

CSGO has introduced non-ranked 5v5, can't wait to only buy a Zeus every round.

Played a bit on Xbox, it’s an absolute bore fest. You may like it though, worth a go for free!

Frostpunk is a really good little management game. Had a lot of fun/tense moments on it

Picked up Frostpunk for free, I'd previously had a refund on steam from it, but more than happy to play it free..

Oxygen Not Included
Hotline Miami 2 : Wrong Number
Shenmue 3
Children of Morta are this months treats, paid less than £20 for all 4

Oxygen Not Included is by the same people who did Don't Starve, it's a similar game to Rimworld kind of just different aesthetics not been on any of the others yet.

So many great games in 16 bit and 8 bit gaming if you haven't got a great system.

Would strongly recommend unranked MM. It's great fun.

I second this. A city builder/manager with more of a survival element. Really fun

Finally got round to playing Bloodborne and my Gosh it is good. Still early days with it, mind - about to wallop Father Gascoigne all over the shop with my Souls skills.

Surprised how derivative DS3 clearly is of Bloodborne - like I'd read that they used a very similar engine but I suppose you don't really feel it until you play it. Lothric castle even looks v similar to Yharnam. The Undead Settlement is basically a Bloodborne level.

My PC gets delivered tomorrow and I feel like a child on Christmas Eve.

Got about 9 things arriving in the post tomorrow. Can’t wait to get started.
