I probably can’t decide on a single one but if I had to list:

• Operation Flashpoint (a big candidate on best)
• Mafia 1
• Giant: Citizen Kabuto
• Half-Life series
• Portal series
• Dark Souls/Elden Ring
• Age of Empires II (also big candidate on best)
• Mass Effect series

And I’m gonna stop myself here because there’s way more which just complicates choice

I love how the RT makes the foliage pop out

Buying RX 6800 XT in early 2023 for €400 was the best decision I could make. The card even OCs by almost 20%… Coil whine is exceptionally bad on it though.

There is literally nothing I can upgrade to that makes any financial sense.

I don’t care much about RT but the reason they’ve decided to do RT implementation mandatory is quite good and revolutionary and I can’t wait to see it in action. Using RT for pixel perfect hitboxes? Sign me in!

“And now, it has been revealed that the game will use ray tracing (RT) not only to enhance visuals but also to offer key gameplay improvements, such as better hit detection and the ability to distinguish materials in a bid to make the game more immersive.”

Whether it’s 50% or 200% it’s pointless if the avg FPS can’t even reach the bare minimum of 30.

To be fair so far I had just positive experience when asking about issues here on Lemmy… Don’t know about other places though.

In my experience it’s both cheap shitty headset and expensive shitty headset. The arguments is always wireless + mic so people go and spend ridiculous money on something that can be done better with a cheap good headphones like the Koss + dedicated mic that may not be as convenient to use but will sound much better.

Still, good sound design may be enjoyed on a shitty headset, it’s just that good audio can add more to gameplay than just graphics. Like for example walking in the main HUB area in Starfield is like soul numbingly hilarious… it does not feel alive at all even when you see NPCs walking around all the time.

Sound design > Graphics

One sale just ended and there’s another… Where am I supposed to get time to play when I’m busy buying them?

I’d rather buy a cheeseburger

“Remember the Nutella” - AoE II Malian Villager

The issue is not that the games performance requirements at reasonable graphics settings is absolutely destroying modern HW. The issue is that once you set the game to low settings it still performs like shit while looking worse than a 10y old games

Have you tried increasing FOV?

If they don’t want me to buy them then why should I buy them now instead of borrowing them for free for unspecified amount of time from the Internet?

The game sucks because of the writing not because it runs on a different engine

I don’t remember ever being so unexcider about any GPU or CPU HW release for gaming.

New CPUs are hardly worth upgrading to from 5800X3D and my 2nd hand 6800 XT that I got 2y ago for €400 and overclocks like crazy (20% on air cooling) is still so damn good that new cards which match that lvl of performanve are still like €500-€600… So if 8000 series will actually be cheaper it may finally match my 6800 XT with €/performance… Wow! It only took several years!

I’ve bought the game after Patch 7 and then refunded it as it was still really bad. I doubt the performance improved by much since then

Operation Flashpoint had IMO one of the best campaigns

Artificial Abomination Absolutely Avoid

Indeed there are plenty of games with way more bugs than this one but bugs themselves are not the issue.

Skyrim had and still has many bugs but despite all that it’s a good game.

This game will remain bad even if you’ll fix all bugs.

No, it’s isometric

I won’t say no to an invitation but I will say thank you very much instead

I don’t like it. I think going from slightly slower vs 7800X3D at just 65W TDP is much better than doubling that just to match it or slightly beat it… And at the end of the day it will be the 9800X3D that’s supposed to compete with 7800X3D anyways.

To be fair the Part 1 port is fairly good now but the release was quite janky… But I haven’t bought it until it went on sale anyways so…

Price it $499 and I’ll still wait until it’s on sale for less than $10.

I love MP but I can’t bring myself to play due to how incredibly obnoxious it became.

But sir… The comment section? Why are we here?

Team Fortress: Archimedes

I used text to speech AI by one of the BG3 actors on his comment and he does sound cool.

Flick stick + Gyro is imo better on the SC but it also has a longer learning curve

I knew about it but still prefer this new way

This I can agree with

I prefer this. I’ve been annoyed by having to go to the settings every time I wanted to swap device I want to connect to. I rarely turn off BT anyways.

I’ve bought Witch Spring R to play on Steam Deck while I do memory OC and testing on my PC

I was not aware this existed. Thanks for pointing it out! Added to wish list and waiting for sale :D

Exactly, we need either around 25% more perf at lower power or 50% at the same power otherwise there’s no point.

I don’t use case. Just protective glass. 5 years without issues. I also handle the phone in anti-cut gloves… No visible marks of wear from it.

Just read them before you do the math

€200 for Vampire Survivors?

It will set them back for at least 7 seconds
