People get so upset over video games like i’m just trying to escape from life’s pressures for a little bit…calm down please.

I’ll just stick to single player games tho.

Let’s go, i need it haha

I just ditched my 8gb card because it wasn’t doing the trick well enough at 1080p and especially not at 1440p.

So if i get this straight AMD agrees that they need to optimize games better.

I hate upscaling and frame gen with a passion, it never feels right and often looks messy too.

First descendant became a 480p mess when there were a bunch of enemies even tho i have a 24gb card and pretty decent pc to accompany that.

I’m now back to heavily modded Skyrim and damn do i love the lack of upscaling and frame gen. The Oblivion stutters were a nightmare and made me ditch the game within 10 hours.

I solved that by moving to pc and forgetting about Nintendo’s existence.

I found a way already, it’s called patience. Works well for basically any non nintendo game.

I bought one new as the planned 3090 and potential backup 3080 were far too expensive, worst card i owned.

The 8gb was enough for about 3 months, when i was still enamored with my backlog of older games.

I now switched teams and got a 24gb gpu. My first gpu was also team red and lasted 11 years until it was incapable of running the games i wanted to play. I hope my current gpu will also last longer.

First offense, sure.

But they’ll just keep being scum so it needs to come back to them.

They need to go bankrupt, honestly.

Behaviour like this should end your company.

Dancing baby was a mere screensaver, no?

Awesome, thank you so much ^^

That’s cool, can i grab one?

I’ve always been an AMD cpu guy; my first pc had an AMD gpu and then i moved away to nvidia, but due to costs i now moved back to AMD and i got zero complaints.

That 3070 ended up costing me a sweet €1289, where a 3080 should have retailed for less than that. At the peak of that madness a 3080 went for €3500, hence why i settled for something along my original budget.

My old pc stopped being able to drag itself through games at 11 years old…poor thing served me well, i still have all the internals and the gpu has a special place on my tv cabinet. That bad boy cost significantly less than the €1289 i paid for the 3070 and outlasted it by a million miles.

I switched back to AMD with my current gpu seeing how the 50 series is just as insanely priced.

But i got no complaints because my pc looks absolutely mental and performs well, i got one of those lian li o11 xl rgb cases stuffed to the brim with rgb fans and a closed loop watercooled cpu + vertically mounted gpu…it’s an absolute centerpiece.

My friend pointed out it’s release yesterday as i was unaware.

The long wait time for ES6 and seeing how Starfield is just reskinned Skyrim has me completely given up on Bethesda.

Then i stumbled on a livestream yesterday after finding out Oblivion costs €55 and it looked like a reskinned clunky old bethesda mess…so no thanks.

Enjoy it if you like it, but i’m not interested at that price point.

Exactly, that’s why i ditched my 3070. Couldn’t keep up.

We should all start a boycot and stop buying anything ubisoft, then release a statement when they go down saying: “cannot complain” and weren’t “deceived” by the lack of “access to our decade-old money”.

But that will never happen.

Would be funny tho.

I managed to make it through the first area before the lack of gameplay depth bored me to disinterest in the game.

Take that as you will, but to me it’s not a good game.

That title alone is all the proof i need.

Clickbait so it’ll never live up to the claim.

Oh my, who could’ve seen this coming…huge surprise

Yeah i’ll believe that claim when i see it.

Sorry but the 2077 release had it’s consequences.

This might help me to keep my typing on point lol. Might try it out

Heck make them $250, i’m not buying them even at $70.

If a game is over $30 it needs to be damn good to get me to buy it.

I bought myself into sf before you got a hangar, i only had that one person race ship and after a while they added a hangar where you could spawn and walk around it.

After a while i noticed loads of reviews so i tried playing it, but always ran into issues making it unplayable. So i got really fed up with it for a while.

Then a couple years later i could actually run it with some issues, ended up buying a better ship and i’m now basically waiting for it to release and computer parts to be affordable once again.

I would love for star citizen to be my jam, but i doubt i’ll ever be able to put enough time into it. The most i ever managed to do consistently was diablo 4 season 1 to 3 before i dropped it completely.

If i don’t forget, or fall asleep…i’ll watch this when i get home.

I think nfsu2, we got it for christmas and played it for 2 full days in a row.

But tbh i still remember my playlist (flyleaf - i’m so sick/ fully alive, hinder - wings of an angel, Marilyn Manson - the beautiful people, a perfect circle, Korn and a couple others) i used while playing wow for the first time when you could get to lvl30 within a certain trial period. Definitely been hooked for some time but never made it to lvl cap nor did i get sny good gear.

Skyrim gobbled up the most hours of any game.

But i think wow really offered the best escape of real life back then for me, which is my main drive for playing games.

Being able to do the right thing and actually getting rewarded for it is a thing that keeps me coming back to videk games.

Real life isn’t really like that most of the time. It will drain you completely, eat all your good intentions and shit you out the other end completely drained and empty handed.

Thank you for the compassion, i’m hoping too.

Currently looking for a different job.

I just buy whichever game i enjoy playing when it’s on sale only to never actually getting to play it.

Life is a matter of you either have the time, money or energy. But never all.

I have the money now but not the energy, i just pass out the moment i get home and playing games just gets postponed until i get time off.

Then don’t, i doubt people get sad when they realize they don’t have to buy another overpriced gpu to run the game they anticipated the most.

I used to play one of those demo disc games where you get to fly an aircraft and do missiona, but back then i had bo clue what the mission was i was just happy being able to fly.

I never stopped playing games, i was always taught that you can’t pilot when you’re colorblind so i was convinced video games would allow me to do things real life would never let me.

Skyrim really caught me and after that cyberpunk took it’s place, i just love being rewarded for your work and getting to do cool shit with that money.

Real life barely feels like you’re being rewarded anymore imo.

They have all your info, what you gonna do…start a new life in India under a false name to steal a pc?

I could actually have a normal conversation before without being called names, which you started doing and you’re getting upvoted for it too.

Which is proof this place has turned into Reddit.

I came here because there were people who would go: “hey man, you’re wrong here’s a link to more info” and i would read that and be more informed. Very mature and pleasant behaviour.

Don’t blame me for giving back what you gave me, i adjust myself to who’s in front of me.

Not being a gamer doesn’t mean you make a bad game, i just said: “let’s see what happens it might be good”.

I know that’s hard to understand when you’re desperate to criticize everything and everyone, but i get it it’s the thing that got you Reddit upvotes and it’s hard to stop.

It’s a shame you Reddit folk are moving here in droves, this used to be a more civilized place.

I have no idea what this means, but my friend semt me that he was a really good diablo player…so who knows he might bring some positive influence.

I never finished death stranding, i didn’t expect the combat beforehand and found it far too challenging so i ended up dropping the game for cyberpunk.

So, give him the expected pushback and then some.

Not sure of they fixed Diablo, but that one had some dark mechanics for the season stuff making people accidentally get the premium.

Oohh nice, even tho i’m not really the right person for such a game.

I keep losing track and starting over, then realizing i want it to look cooler…start rebuilding and lose interest and drop the game fir quite a time until i find out i lost track and start the cycle over again.

People still go for his games after what was done with Godus?

So eh…this got me excited, never played any mafia game tho.
