A 5900x. At The time it was top of the line. I didn’t experience any crashes but the stutter was crazy and the FPS were, as I remember, always around or below 60 at 3860x1600. Problem is the maxed out graphics were meh at best, so that level of performance wasn’t justified at all in my opinion.

I had (And still have) a 5900x, which, at the time, was high end.

I remember watching the first trailer they released more than a decade ago and thinking wow, those are some nice graphics and I am a sucker for space stuff. But at the time, my 1080ti didn’t look powerful enough for such a game.

Then some 4 years ago or so, with a brand new 3080Ti there was a free weekend to try the game and, after cranking every setting to max, what I remember is, wow these graphics are outdated AF and it is a stutter fest. Uninstalled after a couple hours never to think about it again.

Probably the end of many, if not all, third party vendors.

And let modders add the weed afterwards. Brilliant!

But what do you do with your six packs then, slap an AIO on top of them to keep them cool?

I want to upgrade my PC by late 2026, hope the AI bubble has burst by then.

Isn’t this the same trailer than before? Because looks like it.

Sure, if something has taught me life is that when a corpo is trying to deny something, then 100% chances the thing they are trying to deny is true.

Played all 3 games in a row a while ago and, aside from them being terrific, it shows very well the evolution of the FPS genre across the series.

I meant, they’ve been teaching gamers that better graphics is the reason to get a new console for over 30 years. Good luck now trying to unteach that.

Indeed. A truly masterpiece.

What the world needs is more people sharpening the guillotine.

So another live service thing biting the dust? Paint me surprised.

It was nice to have Xbox a month or two a year to play new releases. Guess that it’s over now, no problem, still a patient gamer.

I have some EA games that I got for free over the years, but I don’t know which ones are because there isn’t an online library, you need to install their crappy launcher for that and I’ll be damned if I ever do so.

Guy is totally right.

I’m surprised that there isn’t any government organization that controls or oversees this kind of buyout, especially when so many billions are involved.

At this point is already a cult, right?

Too bad it is a gacha game.

Looks weird AF.

It’s ok, I already forgotten a few years ago.

I think that the story arc they told ends wonderfully and needs no sequel, the world they have built, on the other hand, deserves more stories to be told and I will be waiting eagerly for them.

A wise man I see.

Hopefully “closely” doesn’t mean additional launcher, paid cosmetics and such.

Bioshock Infinite Burial at sea episodes 1 and 2 are the only DLC I ever bought. They close a wonderful history.

I gave a try to KF2 on PS4 but was ultimately bummed out by the fact of playing with a controller. I’ve been waiting to try it again on PC. Wonder if for a casual like me that will play it mostly solo will KF3 do it or am I better sticking to the previous game.

Really interesting reading, thank you!

I mean is the mid cycle of the 5000 series, it’s obvious that the refresh will launch at that point. You don’t need rumors for this.

Hopefully the PC version will allow changing the FOV.

They can charge €200 for all I care. I’ll pay for it: A) €5 on Gamepass on launch day B) €15-20 when on sale on Steam in 1-2 years

This has been so obvious from the beginning, and now that it’s too late is when they starting to complain.

But that is the whole point. You don’t buy studios to make games, you buy them to get rid of competitors.

Assholes gonna be assholes.

Neat. Sadly I still need Afterburner for undervolting so I will keep using it for monitoring too.

The video looks like a lot of cutscenes and finisher movements but very little, if anything, actual gameplay

Generally when a corpo says they are not doing some thing what they are telling you it’s that that thing is precisely the first thing they are going to do.

It’s curious because I own all the borderlands games, legally, and I never paid for any of them. For some reason they keep giving them away some 18-24 months after release. I only played the first one and it was a little meh.

I meant, if you really want to play it on day one it will be €11 on Gamepass, otherwise patience gamer all the way down.

And they’ll cost you €80 for a digital copy.
