I feel like it never broke my immersion cause how often are you stopping every stranger in a real life metropolis to talk to them? Seeing all these nameless people walking by is very much what it’s like to walk around a city in real life.

While true you can talk to more NPCs, the largest city in Skyrim has like 40 people. I find cyberpunk’s world feels more realistically populated for a giant city.

The most recent Mario party added a mode that reduces RNG heavily to allow for more competitive matches.

Have you gone and looked at what W3 looks like recently? It’s not a bad looking game by any stretch but this still looks significantly better imo. The vegetation density definitely looks way better, as well as the lighting.

Just for the record, the in game OST was properly done by MG and was great. It was the Official OST album that was taking bits from that OST to make full songs that were very sub-par. The music MG was making is very dynamic in game, and each level had multiple musical phrases that start and stop dynamically during gameplay (this isn’t unique to doom of course, lots of games do this.) in game the music is some of his best work imo, and really brings the gameplay to another level.

Some people have released better mixes of the songs taken and edited from those music clips in the game files to make better mixes than the Official OST album.

Valve literally hosts petabytes of game data and allows any user to download them at any time. That’s not nothing, data storage is very expensive, and users are charged nothing for it. They provide a service to not only the customers, but also the developers. Steam has so many backend features that allow devs to skip so many networking steps that can otherwise be a huge nightmare. Not sure why you think they are literally just a webpage that has a purchase button next to a game.

I had all of that. Ran into intermittent random crashes about a year ago. After a year of not being able to find a cause I found a thread of other 5800x users running into the same problem. (For the record this was with a high quality PSU, a very very light overclock, and temps were fine throughout that time. Also while I’m not a true IT professional I do know my way around a computer, and the most in depth error logs I could find, which there were very few of, pointed to really low level calculation errors.)

After finally giving up and just buying a 9800x3d I gave the system to my friend for a huge discount, but after reinstalling everything the CPU never booted again.

While what you say is generally true, it is also sometimes the case that some parts are just slightly defective, and those defects might show with age. It’s the first CPU I’ve ever had that died on me (other than a 9800x3d but that was an MSI mobo that killed it,) so I don’t really hold it against them. And I’m very happy with the 9800x3d. Its amazing the difference it’s made in games.

Wish my 5800x had lasted :( It seems to have died after only 4 years.

Valve is allegedly working on a new headset to compete in the wireless VR space. I’m betting that’ll be worth it once it releases.

Yes I love it when a game can arbitrarily be made unplayable when the servers are taken down, even if someone didn’t want to use the multiplayer in the first place.

Better than offering literally no information at all, which you seem to enjoy.

Serious question. Do ANY of those have track pads? Because so far those seem to be something that only the deck has and I find them to be its most important feature.

With Microsoft it can sometimes be really hard to tell if it was the devs, management, or both tbh.

I just set the track pad to be like a mouse and the R1 and R2 to be left and right click and it’s the best way to play it imo.

Games have been around 60 dollars for over 30 years now. Not sure what you’re on about. If they had gone up 10 bucks with each console generation they would be like 150 at this point.

Okay then there should be no reason to spread misinformation about it.

They are also deflating it by providing services that developers would otherwise have to spend time and money on to develop themselves.

actively hopping for it

FTFY

Iirc they started paying their devs waaaay more after the game sold a ton.

TF2 isn’t designed to be as competitive as deadlock. It’s a goofy game that’s mostly just designed for fun. (Competitive TF2 does exist and I am a fan of it but it’s not really officially supported in any meaningful way.)

Deadlock on the other hand is designed to be a very competitive MOBA where individual decisions will greatly change a games outcomes. I would look at DOTA as a better comparison than TF2.

Elden ring comes to mind.

Then you misread them. They said dota is isometric.

Holy shit. You are hilarious. I know that isometric games are third person, but no one refers to them like that. You obviously knew what Werecat meant, but we’re deliberately acting like they were stupid for using the common and accepted way to differentiate between isometric and third person games. I suggest you look into ways to get over your ego, because if you are anything like this in your day to day life I feel very sorry for those who have to interact with you.

Stop being purposefully obtuse.

If your comp is good enough absolutely. Strong PCs now can run sub 5ms frame times at 4k pretty regularly. Especially for competitive games that aren’t designed to look incredible.

I mean, some of the best games of all time (imo) have released in the last 3 years. Not sure what you’re on about with all games being garbage nowadays

You absolutely can do what you are saying. You CAN sell games for lower on other platforms as long as they aren’t steam versions. You CANT sell games that use steam keys for cheaper on another platform which makes sense because steam is still providing bandwidth and other services for your game.

I don’t believe them for a second. When you have that much money you could just hire people to vet charities for you.

He was a billionaire before valve even existed.

So far I haven’t noticed any mechanics changing, but I might be missing something? It miiiiight mess up stuff like parry timing, but I don’t think it does.

Flawless widescreen has an fps uncap option as well as letting the game fully support ultra wide. (The game is fucking stupid and renders in ultra wide anyway and then just puts black bars to force 16:9) You of course have to play without online features because you can’t use anti cheat at the same time.

I play on a 3080 ultra wide 1440p and I never drop below 70. Unless I turn raytracing on which honestly is not worth it at all.

Same, I haven’t even watched the second trailer. Even seeing locations feels like a spoiler for a fromsoft game like this.

If valve is still going to release new crates that they make money off of they should at least work on the game enough to keep it playable.

FSR in this case doesn’t need to be trained more. It’s already a complete dataset, so now it can be released to run on MILLIONS of devices and reduce their load. And then you knock railroads which are one of the most efficient forms of land transportation we have. Just full of bad takes here.

It is competition for experienced devs, and from everything I’ve heard about working at Larian and CDPR I would MUCH rather work for Larian.

Don’t Nvidia cards natively support this through gamestream? I don’t know if Amd has something similar or not but you can already easily set up something like this to stream to a steam deck

I don’t see how that would damage anything though? It’s not like people would stop using steam if hl3 is bad. That’s ridiculous.

Did they say it is specifically Sony that delisted it in those countries? Where did they say that?

I’m guessing it’s them talking with Sony. Sony is the one requiring this, I’m sure the devs hate being forced to destroy the good will of the community.
