So this is what they spent development time on rather than gameplay and story. Figures.

No thanks.

We’re already seeing games coming out which have a soft requirement for DLLS or FSR simply due to how incredibly unoptimized they are.

Awesome! If I can ever afford a card with frame generation, that is. Looking increasingly unlikely though.

Agreed. I have zero issues with actual horror games but diving into the dead zone or below the magma caves hits differently. Seeing a leviathan dive up from the abyss is… chilling, even after many times.

The reapers I could get used to, but damn…

I did one once. Managed to somehow install Catalina on a Lattepanda sbc. I would’ve never expected it to work, so I was positively elated.

The thing then promptly shorted, let out the magic smoke, and I haven’t tried anything similar since. Took it as a sign from the universe that if I were meant to be good at it, i wouldn’t have managed to fry aforementioned sbc, and several other ones (2 Jetson nano’s as well).

Tencent will grow to become the anti-Steam, mark my words. They already have their grubby mitts all over devs worldwide, and every single one will live to regret it (or their players, at the very least).

Those scorpions in the big empty are the worst enemies in the entire game. Always dumping entire mags into them just to whittle their hp down…

Probably on sale for half off by the holidays. I can wait.

I haven’t forked over any $$ to Activision in over a decade, I see no reason to ever change my stance. I don’t feel like I’m missing out either, I simply cannot understand why this franchise ever got as popular as it is, let alone why it remains so popular today. A fool and his money…

There’s mods to fix that. I went from 3-4 minutes loading to ~30 sec.

Good thing I was already de facto boycotting EA games. Not necessarily out of conviction, but because all of them are total shit and simply not worth my time anyway, especially compared to what else is on offer elsewhere. Haven’t even started on BG3 yet.

Oh absolutely. I’m not conceited enough to imagine Valve is developing games for me or that I’m entitled to anything. Just venting my personal disappointment with their choice. I still consider them the cream of the crop in game and hardware development.

Whatever it ends up being, I’m not interested. Never cared for competitive gaming. Sad that Valve has decided to use part of their enormous talent pool for, well, this while almost any genre would’ve been better.

Also, this is already a highly saturated niche. I don’t doubt Valve’s technical prowess and knowhow to develop a game that can surpass all the other ones in quality, but a gilded turd is still a turd under that gold leaf, even if it’s technically the best turd in the world.

That’s not usually a sign of a healthy development cycle.

It resides on the MB itself in a separate chip, so no, although there are probably tools to make it possible.
