Yeah, I got the cards wrong. They are around a 2080, which is around the same as a 4060. Still not much of an upgrade from an upper end 2000 series, which to me is 2070 and up.

The current Intel GPUs aren’t better than a RTX 2070, so that won’t be an upgrade if you’re on a higher tier 2000 series.

I just went up to a 4070 Ti from a 2080 Ti, because it was the only worthwhile upgrade. $660 used. So you don’t need to spend $800.

I’m still hearing from people that they’re using an Nvidia 1000 card. I was expecting to hear 2000 instead of 1000, and then it would happen.

At some point it was going to happen, this is just earlier than many thought. The real question is “when is AMD going to have an answer to Nvidia when it comes to RT performance?”

I feel like it’s the same 12 people loudly asking for Bloodbourne.

Me too, just letting you know what to expect tho.

I just upgraded to a 4070 Ti, and I gotta say that coming from my old 2080 Ti, it’s not that much better looking.

I first played it on an AMD Vega64 Frontier Edition, ran gefm without RT at 1080.

I figured that for $5 I can deal with the Ubisoft stuff

I got it full price and it was worth it

I got, for $40.86:

Need for Speed Unbound, Far Cry 5, Halo Master Chief Collection, Memoriapolis

I would consider this game, but I’m not installing another launcher. I used to play Far Cry 3 & 4, but I haven’t touched them since the launcher became a part of it.

It kind of is. When people come into conflict, there’s 3 main outcomes: one side wins, both sides agree to disagree, or both sides disagree to disagree. The disagree to disagree option is what war is. Given enough people interacting with each other, war is an inevitable outcome of human nature.

I got Control for free, then I bought the DLC for it in there.

Yes.

Just saying, I’d welcome some competition from other players in the industry. AI-boosted upscaling is a great use of the hardware, as long as it happens on your own hardware only.

What does AI enhanced hardware mean? Because I bought an Nvidia RTX card pretty much just for the AI enhanced DLSS, and I’d do it again.

So, it’ll be Crazy Taxi only in name.

Sure, but does the season content get added to the permanent league? As far as I know, it doesn’t, but I could be wrong.

I don’t understand the point of seasons. I don’t want to start a new character every 90 days.

Nah, it was the full $9.99

They didn’t give me an extra. Just told me I already had a part of the bundle & would not be given an extra copy.

On USA Steam, the GOTY edition is $9.99, with all the DLC. The Season Pass, which is just the DLC, is like $12.49… So I bought the GOTY edition & threw away a copy of Fallout 4.

It’s the high-rank players that have ruined the game. No game is ever going to be about them, because there’s so few of them, and they know it. But they are little babies that must be attended, so they complain until they ruin a game, then call the game dead & move on to the next one, like a plague.

This is a stellar fusion hot hot take.

But what do I use to meet people to game with?

I really really hope one of these is better than the RTX 2080 Ti so I can upgrade

Yeah, I definitely would have bought it if it had been more like The Guardians of the Galaxy game.

I’m thinking something like Horizon Zero Dawn, just set in the Baldur’s Gate area.

Oh I could like an action game set in the universe. Or a souls-like dnd game? I’d be down.

You know how cool it is that we can play games with friends that don’t have the same console? That may now happen with Microsoft games too. 🫤

Well that’s basically what religion does, so I find it easy to believe

I can only hope. I’ve already watched Zelda be ruined.

Yeah pretty much. BOTW is flat out not a Zelda game. It’s a Zelda skinned game.

Yeah, basically. Breath of the Wild is the worst Zelda game, mainly because it’s not a Zelda game. I know lots of people like it, but it’s not a Zelda game. Same with Palworld. It’s not a Pokemon game.

Neat. Hopefully it doesn’t corrupt Pokemon into being a survival/builder game.

Nah, this has nothing to do with Pokemon. The whole survival & building aspect isn’t Pokemon at all, and was never what was missing from Pokemon.

Palworld is more like Ark, or even Minecraft, than it is Pokemon. The only thing that’s Pokemon about it is the blatant ripoff monsters.
