As my recent hunt for a new monitor can attest to, you actually pay less for curved than a regular screen of the same specs.
I don’t know if they made a bunch and now can’t sell them and thus they’re all discounted or if they’re cheaper because they’re only making those now aka economy of scale.
Either way I’m not here for it so I paid more for that regular monitor.
Just wanted to say I look forward to these posts even tho I don’t give a fig about gaming. Proud of you for forming a daily habit involving something you love
Arc Raiders feels confused about what it wants to be. It markets PVE vibes but plays like a rough PVP extraction shooter. No real story, constant camping, messy matchmaking, and punishing mechanics make the grind exhausting. The world has potential, but right now it’s more frustrating than fun, especially for solo or casual players.
I really want to like the game but haven’t got a single enjoyable match in like 20 I tried. The graphics and environmenta are stunning I just don’t get the gameplay. It’s like first 10 minutes of a battle royale over and over without the rest of it.
I couldn’t get into predecessor, the matches take too long and the grind for coins to get new characters is slow. As MOBAs go its not bad. But i wouldn’t say great. And i definitely enjoy ARC more.
Baldurs gate 3 is a given. Best game of the last 5 to 10 years for me. Hands down.
Skyrim is boring as hell. It was marvellous when it came out, but its been released so many times and feels too clunky theses days.
Cant comment on dark souls, those games are too hard for me.
Didnt know runescape dragonwilds was a thing but after a quick google i am very interested. :)
Not played killing floor or first descent so can’t comment.
Imho ARC is certainly not a masterpiece but i do feel like a lot of what you dislike about is comes down to your personal bad luck and experience. I have had a very different experience with it, where the PVE has been much more prevalent that the PVP. I dont really follow the story, i just like sneaking around and killing the ARC. I play duos with a few different friends and enjoy the occasional brush with a hostile player. For me it really is occasional. I would say 10% of my matches i get someone shooting at me. And only about half of those end with me dead.
But i fully accept that the same applies to me. My experience of the game is not yours. So i appreciate that my personal view doesn’t impact yours.
That or i got a fairly recent office PC that had an AMD 8700G and 32 GB of DDR5 on ebay for 400 bucks. Slapped in a 9060xt and its a sub 800 dollar build. Didn’t do enough research though and found out the 8700 only has 8 PCIE lanes even though bios and specs list x16. Oh well, it performs well enough for now.
Some friends at work started up a patient-gamer-style Pokémon book club. It’s been four months and we’re almost done Pokémon Black/White (which may sound impressive except that we started with Pokémon Black/White)
My point is: there’s basically an unlimited number of good games that run on old hardware. Not that retro Nintendo hardware is cheap these days, but if you’ve got some lying around…
Not an unreasonable suggestion, the list of Mac compatible emulators is really impressive. Pretty much everything supports M1 Macs, even cutting edge emulators like ShadPS4 and Ryubing (PS4 + Switch emulators)
This is a very terrible take. Arc Raiders has aggression based matchmaking. If you want to play PvE you can almost guarantee that. Play 10 games on a free loadout, shoot no one ever, defib a guy or bandage someone if you can, help them kill arc, extract peacefully. Tell the in-game survey you like it when you get out peacefully and tell it you hate it when you don’t get out because of pvp and you’ll super quickly find yourself essentially playing pve.
For the last two weeks I have played hundreds of rounds solo, talking in mic to anyone who walks by, and have been shot three times. In literally hundreds of slow to fast rounds, almost always a major map condition, Stella Montis or otherwise.
Most of your points are equally as bad, but like this alone is easily disproven.
I just need someone to remake TLoU Factions on a free to play multiplayer network. Genuinely baffled me that ND didn’t include it in the remake.
TLoU Factions is everything I want in a multiplayer PvP “Survival” game.
In Factions, your performance earns you “supplies” which you use to grow or shrink your base over 12 matches and “events” happen in which your performance over three matches is evaluated to again grow or shrink your base.
Every 12 matches, the base resets and you start again. But after a while you stop caring about the base (because all the achievements tied to it are unlocked) and you start playing for fun and the perk system allows for a lot of skill expression and niche crafting.
Players can naturally become ninjas with smoke bombs and shivs, or healers/gifters, snipers, brawlers etc. and the parts systems is balanced in such a way to provide a comeback for weaker players/teams where necessary but in a way that’s fair.
The game-to-game gameplay is the same though: 1) fight for map control and rotations of lockbox spawn points that contain crafting items for each of your teammates individually - centre one holds the most/rarest items; 2) craft items to help your battle - these persist on death after crafting; 3) Complete the team objective: eliminate the enemy team or capture their stronghold.
It’s the best fucking loop, I can’t really describe it and I really wish I didn’t need PS Plus to play it.
