I detested civ 6 on launch. I bought the dlc when it was cheap but idk if I’ll ever like that game. Hopefully 7 is good, but I’m definitely gonna wait until I read all of the reviews.
High end graphics cards have become so expensive that people can’t afford gaming with good graphics
Not only that, but mid range cards just haven’t really moved that much in terms of performance. The ultra high end used to be a terrible value only for people who want the best and didn’t care about money. Now it almost makes sense from a performance per dollar standpoint to go ultra high end. At launch the 4090 was almost twice the performance of the 4080, but only cost about 1.5x. And somehow the value gets worse the lower end you go.
Meanwhile mid-high end cards like the 4060 and 7600 (which used to be some of the best values) are barely outperforming their predecessors.
(true) gsync isn’t dead, it’s only in the highest end of monitors which is basically where it’s always been. It only “died” because it requires an expensive module vs adaptive sync being built into basically every modern display controller so it’s basically free.
I thought they still made games for the non series X/S/One but apparently they stopped in 2023.
Well either way I felt the same way about the original one. I got mine in 2018 and I’ve played less than 100 hours of games on it, and never actually bought any games for it (I got it second hand with about 6 games).
In general I think AAA games just aren’t worthwhile, let alone AAA exclusives. There’s a lot of great indie games, but that requires going through the sludge of indie games.
Why would MS care if you already have a PC? The console sale itself doesn’t really make them money, it’s the games. And if you’re still buying their games on PC they still get their (albeit lower) cut.
Like, we can obviously still follow news and whatnot
I stopped following the news first, then largely lost interest in new games after that. After TotalBiscuit passed I haven’t seen a single thing about video game news or reviews. If there’s something I’m interested in I might skim through a review, but that’s the most I do.
…I completely forgot that was even a thing. It came out and nobody really cared. Only the 770/750 got love, and the a380 saw some appreciation for being the quicksync addon card.
Well regardless it’s the same MSRP as the A770 post price drop, and still outperforms it.
