Big oof, long listed game for me and now dead before arrival.

Luckily I picked up FF14 already.

OP title says “Winner:AMD” ?

back from the article: looks like Toms HW gives a winner per section and it goes back and forth. Matching/winning gaming with less power, I personally agree with OP title that it’s AMD. But article goes into a whole bunch of sections.

Graphics updated for entire game, or just the newest expansion?

Edit: upon getting my lazy ass to read, it says the whole game! Nice.

Still hope it releases in NA soon, unless they plan to do a realm reborn type move I guess.

Edit: back from reading article. “Big update” is rolling out this month, and looks like the 1-year delay from Japan to global will benefit everyone getting the game later this year.

Not with that attitude!

I’ll admit I was “only” 20 hours into NMS and I was feeling the staleness, but a lot of that is probably that I don’t know what I’m doing.

Luckily, I followed your advice before I knew it - I did already get to the anomaly and I did just start an expedition from that current save. I just got off the first planet on the expedition. One thing where I think I goofed is that I made the primary save too easy (all relaxed) and the expedition already feels more natural in that it’s not as easy-mode.

thanks again! I really like that the expedition gives me a clear “to-do list” which is what my brain tends to go for.

I didn’t know what that meant so I ignored it, I’ll go do it thanks!!

I might still try it soon, but… Ahoy matey and all instead. I just purchased NMS though so I’ll be doing that first.

Yes. And there were only like 6 “mob” models and the entire game was just recolors of them.

Confirmed! Half-life 3 coming to Epic!

but it’s also ‘early release’ - I’m trying to hold off for the game to be done

completely agree though - Stardew Valley, Valheim (also early access!), and Planet Crafter have been my favorite recent games

Paldivers?

Oh my!

I loved banished! Maybe I need to check out this one…

I only had time for 15 min, but I sure hope there’s more to it then walking and watching short clips. There’s more once I get past the “opening”, right?

I did play, and enjoy, journey.

I joined when it first came out, and got my wife in as well.

Playing together was difficult, in that we mostly just got in each other’s way.

Otherwise, I played it for maybe 15 hours? and once I maxed out my personal little farm there wasn’t much more I wanted to do. My wife… played much much longer! Because she wanted to meet all the townsfolk and she got them all to best friend. It’s a super cute game, and all MTX are just costumes which is fine by me. Given that its F2P, still worth trying if you like Animal Crossing or Stardew Valley.

That’s what I’m doing for starfield, and even a game like BG3. Wait until it’s been a year of patches, etc.

Diaf is absolutely “die in a fire”, been around a long time!

Yeah, it feels dumb but having to get mods working is a barrier to jumping in. Esp after having played it already.

Basically the campaign is fun enough to do

What, in general, did they do to 4?

They almost have to be confused and talking about starfield, since until this news, all “mods coming” had indeed been about starfield.

That’s an excellent analogy, to say “you can buy palworld for that” which really makes it hit different for me.

It shows you how absurd it is, even with it being optional. It’s still absurd.

and this doesn’t even include any of the GamePass players, right?

The game wouldn’t run for me on GamePass, crashes every 15 seconds… so I guess I’ll on Steam.

Not taking away from the game or achievement at all, but to me it looks like they didn’t start from scratch.

Palworld looks like a re-skin of their own game, Craftopia.

I’ll probably try Pal this weekend myself.

If you look at their site, it honestly looks like they just took their EXISTING game from a few years back (Craftopia) and cheaply re-skinned it for PalWorld.

So the cost posted might only be for the re-skinning cost too, making it even cheaper.

Just tried playing this on windows PC, legit windows, legit GamePass, and it crashes every 5-15 seconds. Very vanilla/normal install and config of all hardware, etc. Maybe the steam version works better?

I have a spreadsheet tracking all my for-myself builds from 2000. I used to average a new build (or upgrade) every 20 months. (it was my only hobby… I’m pretty boring)

Last 10 years it’s been more like every 36 months. But that’s after having “the itch” for at least a year.

I’m 40 months into this build, and an upgrade is hardly worth it. Maybe next year when it’s been a whole 2 generations CPU/GPU?

I played it a few months ago, before 1.0, and honestly the difficulty pushes me away.

I expected for it to get harder over time, yes, but coming straight out of the tutorial I couldn’t “succeed” on the first real game. Pretty sure I had everything on easy too. Maybe it was the second game, either way.

Based on the trailer, it reminded me of Valheim. So a progression of zones/materials, but an ‘open’ game. But how knows, maybe they’ll add a story element?

I just powered through outer worlds in a couple of weeks, and loved every bit of it. Also look forward to avowed!

Wow, I consider a game “personally great” if I like it enough to completely finish once.

WildStar!

I’m 49 hrs into my first play, about to start final mission.

I absolutely love this game. I can’t remember when I last was so invested in what a game was giving me.

I finished the story, quite liked it, thought it was great.

But THEN I join you where it just died and got so boring after. I had no problem “grinding” in D3, so what’s different? They somehow managed to make the core of the core game not worth doing.

It was genuine! I’m also trying to gauge which to play next with the little time I have!

The other one in the mix is The Outer Worlds, which also looks like “Skyrim in space”, even though it doesn’t get as many mentions.

Sorry, to clarify, after you mention NMS, all those funs/positives were about Starfield again, right?

The body cannot live without the mind.
