Did you even bother to read what I said?

There have always been grindy games. BUT there has always been other options for the more popular non grindy games. Now we see a prevalence of the grindy games, 4and a lack of content in the other area. This is due to cost. It is cheaper to hype up a game with advertising than it is to add content. You clearly don’t even realise you are being conned, clearly.


You are talking to someone who enduring the tape decks during the commodore era. The grind then was just getting the game to run.


You have just reiterated what I have just said.


I have never played any PS2 games. Maybe that is the problem. What was acceptable for a console has become the norm now on a PC. But, if you are happy with the bloatware that games have become then good for you. I will not be supporting them with my cash.


So much on point. Gaming is about content these days, so stretch it out.

How many got annoyed with Diablo IV nerfs which Activision adopt on every game they release. Suck people in then nerf it to make you spend more time doing the same thing over again. I didn’t invest time or money into this, and I have to admit I felt very smug when I read about them doing this.

Gaming should be about entertainment, today’s triple A efforts just aren’t.





It seems the clown show has become more important than the information people glean from watching his channel. This will be a reputation issue that will take a long time to remove.


Doh! I just it was the first. I never checked the month.



That is just it though. They listen, they change and once the dust settles, everything just goes straight back again.


I really do not understand why people are kicking up a fuss here. This is what Blizzard does to every game since merging into Activision. Activision's idea of a good game is to make you spend more and more time in the game. They reduce spawn rates, they nerf players and they make drops be exactly what you do not need or restrict to very small upgrades. I feel very vindicated with not buying into D4.

Spent a whole £1.39 on Motoracer bundle. Moto 1 runs at 640X480 in max settings. Gave me ten minutes of nostalgia before I uninstalled it.





No idea as yet. I wanted to complete the game on normal before buying them. I just completed all the quests which opens up the second tier difficulty. Doing some rep farming which I think opens last two locked dungeons.

If you are going to play it, I would go occultist for your first character. Poison and acid gears seems to drop more than anything else for me. Poison bomb from Mutagenic ichor on any shield is pretty lethal against most bosses, and I would use the next version Noxious bomb from Venom tipped ammo asap.





There is some ok names on the list. It has been pretty mediocre of late. First time I have seen crash on there. Shame blizzard owns it now though.


This was always a feature of /r/pcgames. Thought it would be good to start it here now the other place is dead to me.

When Reddit protests were at its height, posts to the site dropped by only 20%. Who is doing the majority of the posting?


So not memory intensive at all? The benefit of the 5950 is the cores (if utilised by software) and the frequency. Which infers that the 5800x3d would still be your best choice.


3d printing is something I know very little about. At a guess I would say the memory usage is minor compared to video editing. Cad can be very intensive with memory use, but 3d printing (to me) seems very simplified by comparison, as you only adjust one shape for the print. Just my twopenneth, as I said no real experience in that area.


He said that MSFS was a 10 year project, not that the 2020 version would be supported for 10 years, something he is reiterating now.

I personally can live with this. The expectations of some on the ASOBO forums seems a tad unrealistic. When you buy the game, there is no real promise of any addons being any good. Addons can sometimes be valid until the next patch only, if they are unsupported. The only thing that is guaranteed is what is advertised with the game and nothing more. So for those who spend hundreds on addons, they need to accept that there is a gamble element tied into that.


A game with a huge fanbase. I will be looking forward to seeing reviews on this one.


Thank you for taking the time to do this. Hopefully we can see this develop into a good resource for gaming information.


I will be waiting to see what it offers before buying it. MSFS has many issues, it is pretty pointless spending over £100 a second time without knowing these issues are fixed.


According to reviewers it comes in just ahead of the 5950 gaming wise. And yes the cache is the big improvement. It is down to the latency improvements the 5800x3d has over the 5950.

For application use where larger chunks of data are feed to the CPU such as video editing, then the 5950 is better because both CPUs have to retrieve the data from the main memory, and thus clock speed wins (as well as the extra cores if they are used). In games though most the data is reused over and over. A large portion stays within the CPU cache system. This is where the latency gains of the 58003xd wins out.

I just installed one in my son’s x370 system in January. I couldn’t tell you how it fares against mine though. He has far too much crap on his system, and he would not let me spend the time tweaking the memory. It went in without any real issues though. You may need to update the bios to accept Ryzen 5 series CPUs. I would check before stripping your cooler out.


There is a couple of buildapc subs, but they are not very active yet. https://lemmy.one/post/17459 has a good list to wade through and the one listed are:

From what you have 5800x3d is all I would add. That would put you close to what I have. I use a 5950 along with 3800mhz memory, which leaves not much init. I am waiting for Ryzen 5 release before I consider my next update. Early indications are that it will be a tasty piece of kit, but wait for reviews as ever.
