in between the other two games I'm currently playing there's now some Titan Quest too.

Witcher 3 has no QTE. It's a rhythmic slasher RPG, very close in spirit to the first one with better alchemy and inventory management, and more opaque skill trees. But damn, once you get your shit really upgraded- one shot kills of tough grunts in the final part of act 3 are just phenomenal. The fast attack branch is stupendous.

Installed the HD texture mod for Mass Effect. Looks surprisingly good. :)

can anyone remember the name of this game...from the makers of Fallout, a zombie survival rpg/strategy. I think it was released not too long ago? Or perhaps its still in beta.

Interplay hasn't really made any games in years.

So Arkham Knight on PC seems to be craptastic - locked to 30FPS (though you can change it by editing the ini file), and shitty performance even on high end machines. 70% of 3300+ reviews on Steam are negative.

Well, I'm glad I didn't run out to buy a video card for it then.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

But terrible performance makes it more cinematic Syt!

You know what else is shitty? If you pre-ordered on Steam you got Harley Quinn as playable character.

nVidia had a promo where if you bought certain graphics cards you would get Arkham Knight for free. Except you wouldn't get the pre-order bonus.

The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

WB stops selling the PC version of Arkham Knight: "We take these issues very seriously and have therefore decided to suspend future game sales of the PC version while we work to address these issues to satisfy our quality standards."

Also, a dev post on Steam said that the "recommended specs" for the game were meant to have the same performance as the console version, not for having everything maxed out (which is probably NOT something you want to tell rabid members of the Glorious PC Master Race).
