A grading system that does nothing doesn’t bother me. A grading system that unlocks highly desirable, but non-essential stuff will probably get me on my nerves, or get me to cheat. Tenchu on the PS1 had 1 unlockable item for each mission you got a GrandMaster rank
Tenchu, the game that I wished for the checkpoints system the most since PS1. Sneak your way to the boss and get killed? Well, let’s replay the whole mission.
I agree. Both aren’t perfect but the gaming industry is far worse (and so is software development in general) with abuse and lack of mental health resources.
Can I just say, that I loaded up Starfield tonight and the NPCs are the worst I’ve ever seen in 30 years of PC gaming. Their bug eyes and lack of reaction or response to anything is so far beyond uncanny Valley that I actually am impressed at how terrible it is. This is the worst game I’ve seen released in a very very long time.
Well, not dedicated to that, but mr samuel streamer (mostly crusader kings and rimworld) has an alt channel where he shoots the shit with his fiance, and sometimes they play games together. They’re playing vampire: the masquerade: bloodlines rn.
They are British, one of their editors is from New Zealand. They threatened to replace their editors’ livers with live badgers if they unionized. 10/10 would watch the surgery.
If you’d not mentioned BG3 then more people would agree, but any game that is buggy should be refundable for sure and to say other wise is anti consumer
We have shoddy repair places here in the US too, but that’s no reason to make people to hunt for some region-specific community for their hardware questions.
The down votes are because you suggested that Gaming is not the correct community to ask about Gaming hardware, and it’s hardly a barrage. There’s nothing wrong with the advice you’re giving, especially since you seem to have regionally appropriate knowledge that many others don’t have. This is still the appropriate place to ask their question. Likely it’s because, whether you intended for it to be so or not, your opening statement comes across… abrasive.
Much better! Less aggressive. Your initial comment had a sense of reprimanding the OP for not posting in the “right place,” and I’m certain you didn’t mean to come off that way, just that you thought they might get a better, more specific answer from a more specific community, is that right?
I appreciate the civility and willingness to discuss. :)
Cities Skylines sees a fairly decent improvement going to the 3D cache chips from AMD (17% speedup here for the 5800x3D). Whats your ability to increase the budget to go for a 7800X3D look like? If this is a genre of game you like and you want to hold off as long as possible between upgrades, it might be worth springing the extra. The difference the 3D cache provides in some games is rather extraordinary. City builders, automation, and similar games tend to benefit the most. AAA games tend to benefit the least (some with effectively no gain).
A 7600X should be more than capable of handling the game though. So it’s not a question of need but if it’s worth it to you.
You do not want 4800 CL40 RAM though, that’s too slow. I’d strongly recommend going for 32GB of RAM as well; 16GB can be gobbled up quickly, especially if you want to use mods in Cities Skylines.
Going up even to DDR5-6000 is not much of a price increase. I’d suggest 6000 and something in the range of CL36-CL40. There’s a lot of 32GB kits in those specs in the ~$90 range. I would not build a gaming system today with 16GB of RAM.
If you don’t mind a group of friends playing multiplayer, there is Stumpt. Depending on the game they’re playing, you either get some commentary about the game or in the case of videos like their Game of Life 2 videos, they kinda just talk about whatever because they’ve played it so much.
I like RKG! They play Dark Souls and those types of games- one of them plays, the other two chat about the lore of the game or whatever. Right now they’re playing Elden Ring!
