Nope I played exactly 1 EA game and that was BG3 the day they announced if you bought it in early access you got the deluxe edition.
I typically don’t do EA games but this one is $8 and comes with the full version on release. I mostly wanted it to see the graphic fidelity because it looks INSANE on my 4070ti.

I tried these two demo's this weekend, as RE9 is finally on a sale.





RE9's demo was blondie's campaign. I liked RE2-4, but I didnt like RE5-8. And blondie's campaign in RE9 is basically the FPS mode in RE7 and 8 that I dont like, so that for me is why I didn't want to buy the game. If it were Leon's campaign the entire time, I would've bought it.

Onimusha felt like Dark Souls 3 and Sekiro. Combat with normal enemies felt really good and I felt like I was going to buy this one until I got to the demo final boss. The first boss was pretty hard, but I got him down in 5 tries. The final boss was a Sekiro level difficulty. I didn't finish Sekiro, and I am not going to play Onimusha as honestly, the boss fight was too hard for me to enjoy.



Into the Fire is having its beta testing (free) right now. Probably what Fatekeeper should've done rather than release an $8 2-hour beta, but is what it is.

Clockwork Revolution looks like it would have been a lot cooler if it wasn't so silly. I don't really like silly mixed with my mass murder simulations.
I couldn't get past how the writing felt like every millennial whedon writing trope crammed into a blender.

And it wasn't enough to have just one quirky, obnoxious little shit side character with the flying golden thing, but the talking doll, too.

Just patterns, patterns everywhere.

Looks like Cortana has a nose ring now, they're really just doing everything they can to run off fans.

The Emperor is only eternal until those fucking faggots decide that he was secretly always an Empress.

I'm considering getting a flat-screen OLED 32" gaming monitor.

I currently have a 4070 ti 12 gb GPU with a 7800X3D. I plugged my computer into my 4K tv to play around with settings today and I think I'm happy with playing 1440p on a 4K monitor for now, until I eventually get a used 5080 during the 60XX series release.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a 32" flat OLED monitor? (They only come in 4K, if there was a 1440p 32 OLED, Id do that instead).

I'm thinking Gigabyte, MSI, LG, etc. I'm keeping my options open but wanted to ask the peanut gallery.

I use this, but it’s IPS: https://a.co/d/09wJURIt

it is excellent though.

the 32” OLED version is this: https://a.co/d/08oWInCr

How are the contrasting blacks on that IPS?

I ordered an LG UltraGear and an HP Omen monitor, and at 1440p IPS, at the time, I preferred the HP Omen due to the brightness alone. But two years later, I never turn the brightness above 20% so the reason I picked the Omen is a moot point.

My big issue is that if I play a game with darker pixels (Resident Evil, Dead Space, etc) the "black" looks gray-ish/black, not true black. And I wish I had one with a higher contrast for the blacks.

I personally think they look great, I don’t find them to look grey, and it can get very bright if set that way.

I could load up a few games and take videos or screenshots if you want, but it’s still subjective at the end of the day.
I have a 38” Alienware IPS next to it and I can tell you the contrast is much better on the LG.

Just sliding a screenshot between the two monitors you can tell it’s got darker blacks and not just grey.

She has resting bitch-face and kind of looks like what Insomniac did to Mary Jane in Spiderman 2.

The only accomplishment under 343's belt was Halo 4's Cortana, which is really saying something about their tenure as the new Halo studio. Even the Notana from Infinite at least has a cuter face.
