Nor am I here to discredit anyone’s enjoyment of it. People have different tastes but it’s also the “it gets better after 100h!” Trope… If a game can’t capture someone after several play sessions and 16h total… It ain’t going to.

It’s a shame they pigeon hold the idea of robo dinos in this sci fi yet caveman like era because I’d love to explore more of it… Just not in this format.


I don’t, if I wanted to be on reddit, it’d post there. But also, quit fucking projecting my dude.


I don’t need to finish something to make up my mind. The game isn’t going to flip on its head 30h in. 16h is more than enough, hell, steam cuts it at 2h for refund.


This isn’t reddit my dude, you should know that with your fancy green M letter.

People take that comment personally, I can’t help that.


Robot dinos are well made. I’m not disputing that. It’s the only reason I put up with it for 16h… But I got bored to death with the same open world formula.

As for where my bar is set? I enjoy games like red dead 2 or space marine 2 from recent memory. But my go to are mods and older RPGs, Gothic 2 is gold standard to me. Games like Rogue Trader from owlcats etc. I enjoy depth and hand crafted nature. Hence games like kingdom come rank high on my list for believable world building with memorable characters. I don’t recall a single name from my 16h with horrison…

God of war (the remake) did it well to keep focus on characters and story as opposed to “clutter” and massive open world filled with markers.


The fact you took it as negatively as you did, is more telling on you than me.

Or are you disputing the fact every sony game is open world following ubisoft formula?


Horizon is just yet another open world slop. Not even robo dinos make it palatable. Even the latest god of war was just so brain dead boring, the story wasn’t enough to make me keep playing.


Why? It’s even more generic Ubisoft The Game than what ubisoft has been doing…

Do you enjoy endless open world map markers?



Yeah, hence I want them to make small new studio and make their own stuff.

Pillars show they can and want to.


Good.

Let that studio die. I’m tired of them pretending they’re some second coming of Jesus because they made fallout new Vegas. Yes we all liked kotor and while pillars wasn’t my thing, owlcats have them beat, it was well recived.

But either they can’t or simply won’t make a good game. Take whatever talent is left and start a smaller studio which doesn’t just rip Bethesda’s ideas.

OW is the most generic crap I had mis-pleasure of playing. It somehow made starfield stand out.



They should retcon everything after 3, just give us saints row 3.5 in whole new area. Fuck it, make it saints row taking over a small island country for tax reasons and just roll with it. Mix CIA into it because it’s a American vessel or some shit to make it still feel like new York or LA or whatever they need. The details aren’t important if the end picture is delivered.


That’s XBOX ALLY X, the more powerful version.

Also, I need to look way more into this as 32% sounds cherry picked as fuck.

Edit: yeah, this didn’t take much to find out. It’s due to a bug not apples to apples comparison. Still calls it Ally and not Ally X and SO MANY FUCKERS HERE FELL FOR THIS, JESUS F CHRIST.

You should be embarrassed, all of you. Hundreds of upvotes “oh yeah, figures!” with ZERO and I mean ZERO critical thinking. You read what you want to read and take it as facts.

So sure, if you run one device at 21 TDP and the other at 17, one will do better!



Did we?

So this itsy tiny company, called CD Project. You know what they started as? Locolisation for the Polish market because there was no standards. That’s their claim to fame before ever starting on a game themselves.

Your comment has to be an anecdotal. Because games lived and died by localisations. Game like Gothic is legendary in Europe but the English version was quite lack luster and even though the games were vastly superior to elder scrolls, they couldn’t penetrate.


Died to first boss, back to start… Welp, I think it’s not for me. Does look incredible but I guess movement is unlocked later and currently? Not feeling this restarting after I already fell few times on the way to the boss.

Queue in People saying skill issue or how my experience is wrong. But my 9 yo son also put the game down almost immediately because of it. I’m not good with these games. Thankfully it’s on gamepass and I can just try it whenever. Is the entire game this sort of no checkpoint boss rush?


Also valve made the game good, not the other studio that made evolve and back 4 blood. Plenty of video essay on YouTube about it if you’re interested.


One side; A lot of custom content, races, actual balance and effort. New lore plausable zones etc.

On the other, 15 dollars a month for gold selling simulator. Boosting is far too rampant.


This is such old accusation, it’s now in primary school.

This is a very long running con if that’s the case. Yet, there’s no proof they have such control/power over turtle wow.


They already split it in 4 ways with lith neo meso and axi.

I see your point, but missing out and the fear of it? I’m not sure. But maybe it’s because I’ve played for longer than some of these players have been alive for… There’s just so much that the whole “OMG I need this specific thing!!!” Doesn’t add up as there’s just so much good stuff in there and power creep has been insane prioritising new things or ever green items.


Exactly. You make good MMORPG and money will come in droves too. Same for RPG or fuck it, even poker game on crack. Just make good games, but it’s not as easy as it sounds… No one just clicks “make game bad” and often the Microtransactions are dictated by whatever publishing deal they have.


There is very little FOMO in warframe. The unsealing you speak of is a rotation due to the game having over a thousand of things to unlock so farming specific weapon part when you need 5 parts would be very difficult. It’s there to limit the pool. If you want something specific? That’s what trade is for.

Relic system is quite fair but you do need to somewhat understand the full system to see it.

The one thing that WF does fairly annoyingly are weapon slots. You have to buy them off the market with platinum so either you buy it at 75% discount or trade prime parts to get it. A single gold part will be worth more than the 2 weapon slot but it’s the one example that makes you “spend money”.

I’m playing since closed beta and have thousands of hours, got my wife and son into it. I must’ve spent maybe £300 in total (maybe more) to show my support, but I could’ve easily just done trading and bought all the cosmetics I wanted that way too.

WF makes you spend money on things you want to, not need to. No bullshit paid for battle pass or battle pass paid for skips etc.



If you’re aiming at 1080p… 5060 ti 16gb might do that. All the AI vollicks aside, DLSS does make hardware last a lot longer. I can get high on oblivion remastered, the game runs at 60 to 70 fps with DLSS and still looks good running on 4k monitor with 12700k and 3070 ti.


Hasn’t been for years. My 3070 ti is only getting swapped BECAUSE of VRAM. I can get fps I want at settings I’m happy with at 4k… But then vram hits its limit and game goes :)… :(


We’re starved for new RTS games. But modding scene for old ones is thriving! To me, I didn’t enjoy the demo… It’s lacking “soul”… It might be because I just want more of the same? DWORF or whatever that over the top red alert 2 inspired game coming out has my hope… It has theover the top voice acting plus comically big units… THAT IS what I want.



They made some ground breaking tech. There’s simply nothing else like it. It’s not smoke and mirrors, people do have a game to play. Server meshing and fidelity is still unmatched, especially in space sim area.

The game is marketing itself for a long while now.


No matter how bad WoW gets, the visuals will always be incredible.


Agreed on the deal. But still not free. I have it for now what? 5 years? I don’t see it stopping any time soon.



At least instead of having 69 million salary, he has to work for the other 68 and deliver? Here’s hoping…


4 went hard on all the map clutter IMO. The setting was alright and villain was just too close to feeling like they’re trying to capture Vaas lightning in a bottle type so unfortunately it bounced off me. Which is a shame, as it probably would have been the superior game in 3 didn’t happen and was fresh in my memory.

I admit, it is a “me” problem.


Far cry went down hill after blood dragon. It was already repeat of 3 but the theme carried hard but also was lower priced standalone…

Everything after? No thanks.


Which they aren’t competing against. Compare it to 5070 and 5070ti. Benchmarks will be a bloodbath I reckon. (In nvidia favor)


Best Buy is gigantic by comparison.

We might not like it, but I bet they had several times more stock.


They’re not good guys, they’re just behind.

But my question was for 3rd party. MSI can suck dick, Asus has the whole warranty issue plus inflated prices, gigabyte while my go to, also has the case of downplaying their PSU setting itself on fire… Who is trustworthy in tech now?

And there really isn’t an alternative to 5090.I do have stupidly expensive setup with monitor that’s stupidly overkill, it’s my main hobby and I’m not afraid to throw stupid money at it. I dislike that I have to even state this, I always get one or two of “oh but you could be happy with 8900 XTX!”


The MSRP that is already 15-45% higher? I’m hoping to get nvidia card, the 3rd party just are too expensive and price gauged for 4 years.

Also, how many of them did some anti consumer bullshit in the past 2 years? Who’s left as the good brand now?
