The top of the article has a banner ad, there is a floating footer ad that refreshes every 20 seconds, as you scroll there are text ads, image ads, auto-playing video ads (one which floats to the top of the page once you scroll past it). Those ads. Edit to reply to your edit: pi-hole is an adblocker lol


On phone it is crammed full of ads, even with Pi-hole. The fact that they’re regurgitating weeks-old news for this particular article doesn’t scream quality either.




Ok so all of a sudden Gabe is everywhere giving quotable quotes. Is this damage control after the bazillion dollar fleet of yachts news, is he about to retire, is it just because of the HL2 anniversary, or…?


The demo was terrible. The actual game was good. Not great, but definitely worth playing.


The first GPU in the sense that they were the first ones to call it a GPU rather than an accelerator. By that logic the iPhone was the first device to have “apps” since they coined the term “app”. No other device before it had apps.




They are just being clear and accurate with their comms. No need to over think it.


I can’t tell if you’re being downvoted by dorks who don’t realise you’re joking or by dorks who DO realise you’re joking and feel attacked. Either way, sad, silly down voters.


Remember cable TV? How it used to be good but then went to shit due to greed and you were disappointed?

And do you remember streaming TV? How it used to be good but then went to shit due to greed and you were disappointed?

OK. So now, like, we go back to cable TV, but this time you won’t be disappointed because it will be shit right from the start. Genius!


The stories in most Nintendo games are weak and mostly pointless. I loved BOTW but strrrrrrrruggled to enjoy TOTK. It just felt too gimmicky. And I adore RDR2, story and gameplay.


If good quality game help doesn’t get used much why on earth would low quality game help jammed full of “funny” advice and memes be better?




That’s surprising. After they made MotoGp 20, MotoGp 21, MotoGp 22 and MotoGp 23, I was sure they weren’t going to make a MotoGp 24.


Ah yes, Reddit, the epicentre of all wokeness.

The mainstream media picked up on it when actual intelligent games producers chimed in to try to defuse the situation you fragile little man babies were trying to stir up.

It is nothing but conspiracy theories.

If you buy into the bullshit conspiracies then you are a hater. Or a moron. Or both. All 200,000 of you.

If you think the curator isn’t a bigot and/or racist and/or misogynist you’re a fucking idiot.

The CEO of SBI being full of hyperbole doesn’t change any of that.

You say you can “decide for yourself” and then list a handful of links to people pushing their own agenda.


Soooo we can expect an extraction shooter live service with “AI” thrown in there somewhere to appease the CEO.

Just make Titanfall 3. :-(


Headline is a smidge misleading. “PC gaming has a larger revenue than console gaming in the US” is more accurate. It’s certainly not true in other parts of the world.


You’ve just described a chore you enjoy vs a chore you don’t. If you enjoy it, great, it’s not a chore for you! If you don’t enjoy it, it’s a boring tedious chore.

I found Elden Ring to be aggressively, intentionally designed to waste my time. At no point did I feel any sense of enjoyment. I found Starfield to be a bit lacking in depth and variety but otherwise OK-ish.


The bigger drawback is that you’re working for Amazon, surely.


After all the breathless hyperbole from reviewers and Sony it’s a bit of a treat to see them slapped square in the face with reality.

Looking forward to playing this in a couple months when I clear my backlog.


As someone with no experience with DnD or video games closely aligned with DnD, BG3 is very, very complex. I often make decisions based on nothing more than a vague guess as to what I’m doing because I’m not in the mood to wade through all the stats and guides etc to work out what it all means. I’m enjoying the game but I am absolutely certain I would have a better/easier time of it if I understood what the heck was going on better.

Make of that what you will. :-)


Yeah that’s the problem, they obviously lie about minimum specs on PC but that is OK for some reason. Xbox enforcing a quality experience for its users is somehow “holding the industry back”.


They’re complaining that their job is hard. People do that all day, every day, whether it’s a legitimate complaint or not.

They came up with those minimum specs somehow didn’t they? Either that built to those minimum specs, or……? And those specs are less powerful than the Series S. So here we are again!


So MS enforcing a level of quality is a good thing then. The alternative is 12 fps at 720p.


Mate the Xbox is a PC with better support and static specs. And yes Most games are available on every platform on day one.


They are the same. For some reason it is acceptable for developers to lie about PC minimum specs but Xbox trying to enforce a quality experience is just unacceptable.


I understand that but surely the articles should be “developers lie about minimum specs on PC” surely. I believe the concept of a lower priced and accessible console should be encouraged. If that means developers have to try a little harder to support people who buy a cheaper console then so be it.


The Series S specs exceed all the listed minimum specs on the BG3 Steam page for PC. How is the Series S holding anything back when they apparently support their game on shittier PCs?


Sounds like the “rare collectibles” cartel are moving into PC games, in an effort to dupe even more money from gullible idiots.
