Yeah I couldn’t make it through their first video the amount of glazing they were doing was revolting

That’s surprising but so least Lenovo sells parts directly so you can skip eBay (though probably more expensive ofc)

Yes but have you considered not all of us want to play the absolute least demanding games all the time?

Better hope none of your parts die

They certainly can be cash grabs but I wouldn’t say always. Usually it’s the low effort remasters that don’t warrant rebuying at full price as they’re mostly a technical refresh (with mixed results based on how much they tried).

Remake implies them remaking the game instead of upgrading it where you get things like the ffvii remakes or the upcoming dragon quest vii which looks pretty good. Sometimes they miss but I wouldn’t call them a cash grab as it still takes significant investment.

They said they want to focus on open world and live service games, so it sounds like the ones they canceled were the actual good ones.

S760D (5.1) from edifier. It punches far above its weight imo. I use a sennheiser pc37x if I need to be in voice chat but as good as headphones sound I don’t necessarily want to be wearing them all day.

Yeah I mean I don’t hate it exists but I wouldn’t expect it to make a ton of money

They didn’t make much money off alan wake 2 after locking it on epic and not printing a physical copy for the console people for a year (and even then was only a limited deluxe and collector’s edition release). This seemed like a hail mary to try and get that sweet gaas money, but I imagine the overlap between people who play games like control and people who are willing to dump endless money on the live service game of the week skins is pretty small.

“Former” spies

What game?

Has Zenimax even released any xbox exclusives? As far as I know they’ve all been cross platform.

I think eat they’re saying is that those type of demos are less a representation of the current state of the game development and more a bespoke product to represent what they hope to eventually make, which in fact likely took time away from developing the actual game

Seems more like it just hallucinated the number of someone who happened to have WhatsApp than it shared someone’s number but not surprising.

I got to room 46 then looked stuff up for the later more arcane puzzles. I still have some stuff to unlock but waiting until someone finds the last envelope

It’s not exclusive, the Playstation trailers always just remove all mention of other platforms. The one on koei tecmo’s channel has the steam logo

Iirc the epic store didn’t even launch with a cart

I need someone to translate it all

I loved the gameplay as well, it seems like a fresh take on the classic turn based jrpg formula

I had to use upscaling to get it to 60 but there’s certainly worse

It’s because there’s a lot more optimization you can do on a fighting game vs a big open world, it just doesn’t have to render that much comparatively.

No I’m saying that it being a fighting game meant that it’s much easier to optimize because you have such a fixed camera angle and few characters on screen.

Idk I think the only one of those on that list that I’ve played that ran well enough that I’d consider it ok was tekken and I’m assuming that’s more because it’s a fighting game.

As soon as someone releases a UE5 game that doesn’t run like ass

Yeah haven’t felt that way idk

Audio has seemed fine to me, have only need the subs for the characters that aren’t speaking a real language lol

I’m seeing more like 7ghz for the bismuth stuff, still really good but nothing completely insane like 500 ghz. Do you have a source for that?

Microsoft/Xbox has been pretty good on the hardware side with their Xbox Adaptive Controller

For steam games? Steaminput’s translation layer seems to work pretty well

They’re great on windows too, and the extra features like the triggers are really nice for the games they work in

I’d bet that’s using a lot of upscaling in both modes

Not even the same quality, piracy is often better either because they combined multiple sources to get better quality or because streaming services won’t even give you the quality you pay for without jumping through their hoops. To the second point, Netflix stopped supporting pcm 5.1 audio on their desktop app so I have to pirate the shows I’m paying for unless I want to watch in stereo.

DP is working fine for me, it could have been a botched upgrade and you just have to try again (or DDU)

It seems better on launch with the nvidia driver for it than it was during the first open beta but I think they’re right with the overly aggressive culling and texture streaming causing issues. They said it’s still more than playable at 4k60 with my 3080ti and I’m having a blast

Yeah after reading that I used tracker.gg to look at my match history and it seems like around 1 in 10 quick play matches were bot matches, I watched the replay of one and it was pretty obvious. No competitive matches at least

I hear people say this but I’ve yet to see it, usually just toxic people calling the losing team bots

Yeah I’m surprised nobody else mentioned CS, it’s kind of the eternal FPS in my mind

Like with photoshop there’s definitely some AI content that’s unmistakeable but the good stuff gets really hard to tell.

That’s how mfs 2020 works as well, it’s not new
