Windows 10: What Games are you playing right now? [2]

Been playing some Assassin's Creed Origins...





:)

 

Seriously, Nokia what are you playing at?

Just charge every night and you'll be fine.

 

Seriously, Nokia what are you playing at?

I have to agree with the OP - in that I feel that the battery life on these Nokia's is very poor. The fact that this is Nokia that we're talking about, the same Nokia that built it's kingdom on bullet proof dependability and huge battery life, maybe compiles
the problem.



I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 - 1650 mAh and this new Lumia 800 (1450mAh). I charged both last night and then used the SGS2 as my main phone all day with the Lumia along for the ride just to compare.



Both phones had WiFi turned on and the phone set to 2G. I installed a couple of apps on the Nokia and had it checking emails every 30 mins.



The Nokia has just died after less than 18 hours - of basically being on standby all day only. No calls, no maps, no GPS, no screen use, just emails and twitter check twice. Stone dead.



My SGS2 is still showing 54% charge after much more demanding use. Even taking into account the extra 200mAh of the android battery, that would still equal around 48% remaining.



Although others may feel that this is acceptable, especially if they simply don't use the phone very often in a day, for people that actually need to depend on their Lumia for any level of productivity away from a power source, this is terrible. Throw in
the fact that it's a sealed unit....pretty ridiculous. My old N8 lasts vastly longer than both these phones.



Design 10/10

OS 6/10

Productivity - 2/10



As a long time user of Nokia phones and more recently Android handsets, coming back to Nokia feels a little like they've taken 2 steps forward and 3 steps backwards with the Lumia.



I would like to return this handset to Nokia and try something else...maybe the N9 has a better battery life?

 

Thanks, Dude

 

just been giving Quake Champions a blast..
great fun - runs really well..

 

Never have been able to get interested in all the gaming on a computer.......maybe it's just my age...

I do enjoy a few rounds of Kyodai Mahongg in the evening before putting my old ass to bed......LOL

 

This game owns my soul right now. So much to do in it, along with a great story and gorgeous scenery.

73 hours in and I still haven't figured out how to race chariots properly. *chuckle

 

It's an amazing game. I just stay away from the racing... Maybe in the future.

 

I must be just old fashioned ........................... Dark Star 1 - finally finished it now into open play.
FC1 FC2, SH4, Freelancer with Discovery mod 4.89, oh hang on, you know the rest *Cool

 

Sounds like a great game

Fun to try out all games can offer

Nothing wrong with old school gaming *Cool

UBI is giving Assassins Creed IV: Black Flack starting next week

That's an absolutely fantastic game. Probably my favorite of the entire AC series, although Origins is vying for that spot too.

 

Just noticed my spelling error *Redface I have syndicate and Assassins 3 so I will be adding this game *Cool

 

Hahaha, I didn't even notice the error. I really hope you enjoy Black Flag. It was a bit of a departure for the AC series as it really fleshed out the naval stuff from AC3 and made it a huge part of the gameplay. I still go back and play through it now and then. If you do decide you like it, Assassin's Creed Rogue was a follow up game with pretty much the same basis, but you play as a Templar against the Assassins. It's a bit short, but you can find it relatively cheap these days, and it's worth every penny for fans of Black Flag.

 

Homefront is free for 2 days if anyone is interested

The Humble Store: Great games. Fantastic prices. Support charity.

 

Awesome. Thanks for the heads up.
