    Assassin's Creed Red

    But to focus a game on one person who was in Japan for a brief period (if I recall 2-3 years?) and was mostly non-noteworthy historically speaking, is odd. I can see people's disappointment. They finally get a game set in Japan or Asia, and about half the time you may not be playing a...

    Red Dead Redemption for PC?

    Better than nothing but a port of a 14-16 year old game is kind of lame. They should have done a full remake, as it is essentially the sequel to RDR2 and they made part of the map in RDR2.

    Assassin's Creed Red

    Seems like a lot of people are not happy about one of the main characters being non-Japanese as well. I do understand that. Seemingly this game will take a more liberal approach to history, but we've seen that with Odyssey as well. The older games were generally decent when it came to historical...

    ASUS ROG Ally X rumored to cost $799, only Ryzen Z1 Extreme version planned

    If I was in the market I'd rather just wait and see what Valve will do with future Deck versions.

    What CPU do you have?

    The last game that gave you a lasting impression?

    FF7 Remake, Cyberpunk 2077, Metro Exodus. One of those games is around 5 years old already. I'll have to think more if there were some others, but generally most games do not really grab me that much anymore. Too derivative, task-based rather than experience based, and many just blend together...

    Hardware Nexus: ASUS Scammed Us

    Which is my point. It is a niche market, and Valve essentially has it cornered as is. But you cannot say the Deck has sold better than a Switch, in terms of sales numbers. It is not even close. As long as gaming laptops and Nintendo handhelds exist it will always be a niche. The Deck fits in...

    Hardware Nexus: ASUS Scammed Us

    It is hard to compare the two so early in the Deck's short market time. But what we do know is the sale numbers aren't even close when we compare the Switch sales to Deck sales at the two year mark. It isn't a matter of disagreeing, but just a matter of facts. But that won't translate into...

    Hardware Nexus: ASUS Scammed Us

    In around two years they sold 3-4 million. To give you an idea, Nintendo sold around that much in a few months. I'm also assuming in two years there have been more than 3-4 million gaming laptops sold. I assume more gaming laptops sold than the Deck, Ally and Claw combined over the past two...

    Hardware Nexus: ASUS Scammed Us

    In particular motherboards tend to have a lot of problems and drivers are more important so I have little reason to look to an ASUS motherboard. They also tend to be the most expensive. Though I believe MSI and Gigabyte RMA quality is not good from what I have been told, it does seem like ASUS...

    Homeworld 3

    Do the Classic controls actually function like the older games now? In the demo it didn't. How about menus, is the design still essentially the same?

    Horizon Forbidden West

    Part in bold would make sense, but something was lost in the re-creation because her face is shaped quite differently. It isn't as drastic as the changes with Lara Croft I posted earlier, but it is noticeable. It isn't technological, the difference is artistic. There isn't any real technological...

    Horizon Forbidden West

    The game plays more clumsily. She gets thrown around a whole lot. Even when you dodge sometimes she takes too long to get up. Even basic human NPCs can often charge, you dodge, and then they can charge again and hit you before your dodge animation completes. On normal it isn't a hard game by any...

    GIGABYTE RTX 4070 SUPER Gaming OC $600 at Best Buy

    What do you get on the core/memory clock? I think most allow for a 110 to 120% power target. Wondering if 145% can squeeze extra performance out of it. I have a Zotac, which also works well and is very quiet. At the time it was cheaper than this Gigabyte. I would strongly recommend anyone who...

    God of War Ragnarök (Rumor)

    Will probably come around November, which would be two years after the Playstation release which seems to be the standard. I am more interested in Last of Us 2 and hope that comes first, especially seeing how it is an older game. God of War was... decent, but the least interesting Sony port I...

    Horizon Forbidden West

    A lot of us noticed it before the game was released. It is always odd when a character changes design in a notable way. There are exceptions, for example May Payne's visual design changed a lot although it coincided with major technological leaps. But now that character models are detailed a...

    GIGABYTE RTX 4070 SUPER Gaming OC $600 at Best Buy

    More of a warm deal than hot, but you can get a RTX 4070 Super with a nice cooler for $50 off the normal price of $650. GIGABYTE - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER Gaming OC In terms of noise while gaming it should be much quieter than the two fan models that tend to cost $600 normally.

    Final Fantasy XVI

    That sounds good if true. Most long games loose focus, so if this can maintain story momentum that would be good.

    Redfall (Arkane Studios)

    I think that is not as big of an issue for this specific game. Shitty quality, a bad mix of SP/MP, unclear vision, and inability to communicate what it was supposed to be were bigger issues. Communicating what type of game you're selling is becoming a big issue, many companies can't give...

    NVIDIA to Only Launch the Flagship GeForce RTX 5090 in 2024, Rest of the Series in 2025

    I do think they should be included if you're paying that much, but like I said, most do come with them. MSI seems to include them with all mid-tier models. My Zotac RTX 4070 Super came with one and that isn't exactly a high end card. Cooler is excellent for the price though. About $30-40 cheaper...

    Assassin's Creed Red

    From everything I hear this is essentially an Assassin's Creed game, but better quality. And without forced online crap.

    Ghost of Tsushima (Confirmed)

    The sooner it releases the better. If you don't have time to play it more power to you, wait for a sale and get it when you actually have time to play it. :D

    Ghost of Tsushima (Confirmed)

    Game comes out in around a week. So you'll be waiting a year or so, maybe more, for that $20 price.

    Assassin's Creed Red

    Sounds awful. If anything having to maintain compatibility with older games will hold back newer games. I assume the modern day story aspects will just be rolled into a non-stop weekly "event" type of situation. Rather than being a proper story baked into the actual games it will be like Call of...

    Cyberpunk 2077

    There is nothing about the movement and whatnot that cannot be done in UE5 or other engines. Visually it may look a bit more similar to other UE5 games but assuming they make their own modifications, which most big studios do, it will also have slightly different graphical feature...

    NVIDIA to Only Launch the Flagship GeForce RTX 5090 in 2024, Rest of the Series in 2025

    A lot of the higher end cards or even cards with higher end coolers come with a kickstand. Should only cost $15-20 for one.

    Horizon Forbidden West

    The big problem is doing an open world style game improperly. Horizon isn't quite that bad. To me the first game's upsides made the shortcomings less noticeable. Forbidden West got even bigger, longer, with an inherently weaker story so the shortcomings became more obvious. But most open world...

    Horizon Forbidden West

    That is almost every open world game, which most games try to be these days. It is a huge problem because the main story is only around 40% of the game, if that. I found that there were many areas of the map that are more or less unused. It does gate level/gear behind lots of side activities and...

    Ghost of Tsushima (Confirmed)

    Safe to say all online Sony games will require it. SP games should be fine.

    Cyberpunk 2077

    Even a cracked copy won't do that. Especially because there is nothing to crack with Cyberpunk. Maybe his settings are turned down. Though maybe he is referring to how the NPCs behave, which have gotten better but are still a bit less dynamic than GTA or RDR if I recall.

    Corsair MM300 Extended Mousepad - $14.99

    Best buy used to have these for $15 a lot. They seem to last. I don't even like large sized mouse pads but I may buy one.

    AMD's next-gen RDNA 4 Radeon graphics will feature 'brand-new' ray-tracing hardware

    And that is why ray tracing will still be a long ways off until it is very common in games. Even a 20% performance increase in ray tracing isn't that noteworthy. If you go from 50 frame rates to 60 frame rates that is a decent improvement, but still what most would consider to be too low for an...

    MSI ends AMD GPU partnership due to poor sales

    That is a decent amount of performance. I wonder what pricing will look like and how much VRAM it will have.

    [DEAD]Very [HOT] 7900X3D $330 @ Antonline

    The other thing to keep in mind is many of the benchmarks are done at 1920x1080. The higher resolution you go, the more likely you'll see results like this: So a 7800X3D is better in gaming. But a 7900X3D is probably not that bad, and in some games the difference will be negligible most...

    The Callisto Protocol (survival/horror)

    Just about done with this. Looks like the DLC is around 3 hours, so 25% more length. I am almost done with the main game. Story is around 12 hours on normal. It is okay. Bit repetitive and simplistic enemies. I have not found a single thing scary about it though. Maybe I've played too many of...
