Am I the only one that doesn’t really give a shit about ray tracing? For mediocre gains, you get a punch in the face on performance. I’ll take 144Hz on a game over ray tracing any day.
I find when I play, if I’m not looking around focusing on the graphics (like playing the game) I don’t notice it. Cyberpunk 2077 at 3440x1440 with ray tracing on makes me get like 24FPS. Without it, I can get above 60.
That’s fair. I did watch a video comparing them, and what stuck with me was how they mention how good we got at faking lighting and making it so convincing that the reflections are real, it’s hard to sometimes tell the difference. For me on a 2070s with 3440x1440 resolution, it’s not worth it at all.
What blew my mind was how I heard Titanfall 2 uses the source engine. That game looked really good. I did only play it on the steam deck though, so my resolution and screen size weren’t crazy.
Yeah, also does anyone else remember when the best video card was like 600 bucks? I never did buy one of those. And I’m not buying the top end cards at 3k or whatever they are. I built my whole last computer for less than that.
Sometimes they’re not on gog and I want to play them. Other times it’s 4$ on steam and 50$ on gog. I’ll buy it for 4 on steam so I can play it, then wait for the sale on gog down the road.
Lots of games with anti cheat auto work under wine/proton. The most on top of my head example is Elden ring. Runs fine on my desktop with arch, as well as my steam deck.
I kind of assumed it would be packaged with each game, a waste of space (but how big could it be?) but leaving a game with anti cheat a global dependency seems like a bad idea.
It unknowingly interferes with my security or privacy, 100%. It has root access. What’s it doing in there? Nowadays you’re naive to think it’s just to prevent game cheating. I guarantee they’re collecting all kinds of information.
The steam deck is also amazing, such a nice piece of hardware. I’ve been gaming on Linux for years and I’m surprised how well it works. Feels like a console.
RuneScape was my favorite game of all time when I was a kid. I’d play it for at least 8 hours a day every day, and never get bored. Now, RuneScape is RuneScape 3, terribly infested gambling microtransaction mess that looks like a really bad early access game, or Oldschool RuneScape, which is really fun, but is infested with...
Recovered my account a couple years ago with support and providing my og serials. Can’t believe it worked but it punched me in the face nostalgia-wise when I got into it.
I still remember hanging out in a few of them around this time of year when stuff was decked out Halloween themed. Never did beat the expansions. Crazy how little detail the game seems to have by today’s standards 🤣
To be fair, it’s just because windows is the most used and common desktop operating system and the two OSs are different. People would be confused about windows too if the tables were turned.
I honestly kind of agree with this. A lot of people see metacritic/opencritic scores and take it at face value. I a lot of people that would just instantly write off a game if it isn’t higher than 80/100.
This is comical because of all the backlash about the PS5 already. I know I’m certainly not buying a custom bloodborne machine to finally play this game. I’ll wait until I can get a PS4 for dirt cheap or until emulation is finally ready to go.
Yup. Last game I bought from them was Phoenix rising or something on the switch. Actually pretty fun. Until I learned I had to work around the forced login and online bullshit by throwing it in airplane mode at a specific time then suspending and resuming or some goofy ass shit. It’s a single player game. No I will not create and connect a useless account.
Since I’m a WoW addict, naturally I’m a Blizzard fan, of sorts. But my mind is blown every time I see anything from Call of Duty on the launcher. I’ve been really out of the loop, and recently saw this… and I’m shocked. You have to BUY the game for “open beta access”, like how does that make any sense? Also, the...
I swear the less A’ a game has in the context of “AAAA”, “AAA”, etc, the better it is.
In recent years I’ve found more niche or mid sized studios have my interest at heart. The more A’s a game claims to have, the more bullshit predatory crap it has, micro transactions, etc.
Holy moly I didn’t know you could still play old RuneScape. I think I found my account like 8 years ago after not playing for a decade and I was like “neat” and signed off. Lol
As per title. Most computer games these days are made with such unnecessary padding that I want to murder the devs or myself by the end. See, for example, Hyrule Warriors, the 100% 1000 Hour Nightmare, the Review....
Elden ring. It’s atmosphere and exploration just draw you in. Huge areas that are technically secrets. I haven’t 100% it because of being locked out of certain questions but I’m sure I’m close. The gameplay is just so addicting to me I’ve got over 700 hours in it.
Ah dk3, the one I’ve NEVER beat. I always set out to do it and grow bored first. I think by the time I started playing that really good games existed like halo and the like.
Oh that would be sweet if backwards compatibility is a thing. I have a massive switch library, and to play those all on the new one would be huge for me. Also interesting comments on the cart design, that would also be cool if there was some mechanism to turn down the graphics detail or an alternate version that works on the old switch so I wouldn’t have to buy a new one right away.
Nintendo, your games are already overpriced, just make the new games work on the old system 😅
You sound like a gen z that doesn’t understand computers.
Basically nothing matters but form factor. Everything is a computer. Switch runs Linux. Steam deck runs Linux. I think ps runs Linux too. Xbox I think is a stripped down windows. Meh. All computers.
It’s all corporate bullshit. They could technically all run the same shit if it wasn’t for greedy corps.
