    Assassin's Creed Origins set in Egypt

    I didn't buy it, but so many people have gushing about how good it looks I Redbox'd it. It's one of the best looking games I've ever played. Absolutely beautiful. It also doesn't play like past ACs and definitely feels like there is a strong For Honor influence, which I actually like. Too much...

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    I run basically the same setup as spronk only i use a 4 port hdmi switch. I don't run anything else but the ps4 and vr through it. And I'll second the part about high quality cables, i ran through a couple sets before i found ones that worked and even though those initally worked they would go...

    Yeah, i bought the Xbone version. It's pretty and plays great. I actually just finished the first game last week so the difference is pretty striking. That PSVR news has me pretty pissed off. Lots of people have been complaining about HDR passthrough since the Pro was released and trying to get...

    I hear ya, man. I don't blame anyone for waiting with Microsoft's track record, but seeing these 10-15 year old games looking so good has me hyped this morning. I need that 4K RDR, though! Hopefully they keep delivering on that front. I wish Sony was doing stuff like this. And good call on Evil...

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    Considering how From butchered the PC release of both of those games, I wouldn't put much faith in there being an easy transition to Switch. Besides, a Dark Souls collection would be way too large to fit on a single cart. No chance in hell it happens. If they did release them It'd be three...

    Ut, take back that fucking S and get an X. Even if they don't ever release another decent first party title you're gonna be kicking yourself the way they are doing this BC stuff. GoW 3 looks like a remaster and I wouldn't be surprised if more and more games get this treatment.

    The X is the Slim, only smaller. It's also twice the weight, there is no way it gets a smaller revision.

    Microsoft added Skate 3, Gears of War 3, and Mirror's Edge to the X enhanced list. This is something that didn't really interest me to start with but after seeing games like Ninja Gaiden and Oblivion it's quickly becoming one of my favorite features.

    Fuck. I use a splitter currently but it sure would be nice if they sold the processor unit seperately for people who already own the PSVR.

    I usually do too. Why are you so much more helpful than people who work there?...lol. Thanks. I have a Pro account, the coupon just never showed up in the app. I guess I'll pack up the S and see if they will do it with just that code. Edit: Yeah, these guys are clowns. Told me no problem on...

    Man, i hate Gamestop. Bunch of incompotent assholes. I pre-ordered my X through them based on that $150 S trade in and the fact I was told they were doing a 9pm release. I still haven't gotten the coupon for the trade deal even though I should have gotten it nearly a week ago. Last night when I...

    A lot of these pre-orders are being sold based on future stock. Amazon is already telling people they aren't getting their pre-order until Dec.

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    This whole line of thinking doesn't have much weight when there are hundreds of thousands of people joining private servers for this content. And before the, "yeah but it's free" counter, there are other stages of emulated servers available and classic is still extremely popular even among free...

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    I returned mine this afternoon, it's not a good deal. Also heads up for anyone holding on to it for any length of time, Nintendo apparantly doesnt seal the Switch boxes so you're gonna get side eyed about whether or not you opened it, especially since the Mario is digital. I had mine less than...

    Meh, I buy graphics cards for my PC just as often, and just about every one of them cost more than the X or Pro. Consoles aren't doing anything that the PC side of things hasn't been doing for decades. The important part isn't incremental upgrades, the important part is being able to play last...

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    I think the thing that got me to keep my pre-order was the extra ram and the fact games could have 4k assets as well as resolution, which the Pro can't do. If it were the difference of native 4k vs checkerboard or whatever I'd probably wait but I'm pretty excited for Tuesday. As for your tv...

    That's damn impressive. The game is definitely giving me Mario 64 vibes, which is one of my favorite games of all time.

    Jesus, I'm going to end up buying yet another version of Skyrim because of that video. Magic looks like it will be fun as fuck and walking through a Bethesda world in VR is like a dream. People like to shit on VR, but Resident Evil 7 was legit one of the best gaming experiences I've ever had...

    Super Mario Odyssey

    People complain about shitting up the Switch thread but I'd be on page 4 otherwise. In a moment of weakness I impulse bought the Mario Odyssey bundle at Bestbuy and regretted it almost instantly. I really hate the red joycons and it comes with a digital copy of Odyssey. Between the shit storage...

    Call of Duty: WW II 2017

    This is how I'm feeling. Too many options, too little time. I still haven't even opened IW and between Battlefield 1 and Battlefront 2 I zero time for another online shooter. I'll either grab it when it price drops or rent it for the story.

    Sea of Thieves (PC / Xbone)

    Bump. Got an invite for the Alpha this week. Only had time to mess around with it for about 45 minutes on the Xbone, but what I saw so far has me interested. Run great, looks good, love the art style, and sailing a ship is pretty awesome. The ocean and water system is really damn cool. Thumbs...

    After reading your Assassin's Creed impressions I swapped it out of my cart and put this in its place. I'm always down for a good story and some horror.

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    This whole argument started because you somehow think blowing up a low resolution on a much larger screen equates to a better picture, which is ridiculous. Then you gave me the cinemaphile contrast ratio is the end all be all line, not realizing that games and movies are completely different...

    Everything in the post you quoted is a rebuttal to things you fucking said in this thread, which btw, is polar fucking opposite of a strawman. You're literally saying shit, and then calling it a strawman when I directly reply to those statements. Do you have brain damage? Cry strawman all day...

    Titanic pixels at 8K on a phone? You hit your head? You have that backwards. Is that why you're sticking to this retarded argument, you don't know how this shit works? Increasing resolution does always result in a better image, what kind of dumb shit are you on? It's literally what happens when...

    Star Wars Battlefront II

    That's actually a pretty good read, and sounds like a trainwreck aptly describes the entire situation. A couple quotes from some developers working on the game: Plus lots of talk about Hennig bumping heads with people on the team, flashbacks of Uncharted 4, and it's clear that this was never...

    Anyone playing? Opinions? The game really interests me but I'm concerned it will follow the same formula as the rest, which is fun for while but quickly wears thin.

    Ok, how's this instead. If Zelda came out tomorrow with a 4k patch for the Switch the same people defending low resolution, diminishing returns, etc. would be shitting themselves over how much better it looked. They certainly wouldn't be still clinging to the same tired arguments that people...

    It sounds like a good deal, my major concern would be game availability. And knowing Gamestop there will be some fine print worth reading.

    The conversation is because the extreme left lumps people who say shit like, "only women have babies," with literal Nazis who burned people alive in ovens.

    Ah, the old diminishing returns argument. Like, I said your arguments are the same arguments people were making when dvds came out, when 1080p tvs came out, when 4k came out. Anyone who has been playing PC games for the last 25 years knows this argument is a farce along the lines of "the human...

    I dunno about anyone else but my virtue signaling comment wasn't because of the game content at all. It was based on the fact that there are people going out of their way to show support of a game, thats had the same theme for longer than they were born, based solely on their politics. It's...

    I complain about anti-aliasing and texture quality in Zelda and some fuckwad tells me 720p doesn't look bad on a 65 inch screen and spouts off about shit (contrast) that has literally zero impact on textures or anti-aliasing. Makes sense. This whole paragraph is bullshit when talking about...

    Right, moron, which is why so many people are buying 65 inch 720p television sets...lol. The bigger the screen the higher the resolution needed to keep the same image quality...that's a fact. And if you looked at my inital complaint, not that I'm even sure you'd fucking understand it, I bitched...

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    Holy shit, you're a fucking clown. 720p on a 5 inch screen is far superior to 900p on a 65 inch screen. Do you even how these things work? Take ANY fucking video of anything at 720p and watch it on your phone, then go watch the same video at 900p on your tv. If you think the video looks better...

    Don't be fucking dense. The marketing was aimed directly at current events, even going so far as to hijack actual politically charged hashtags. You don't get to bow out and claim you don't want your game to be political when you straight up marketed it that way in the first place. Boiling it...
