    Apparently the comparision is legit. Multiple tweets and Digital Foundry claim the PC version is at max settings.

    It sold out right after your post. And i realize that you don't have to put money down at Amazon, but even Gamestop's shitty $800 bundles are sold out.

    I think the Xbone X is going to do better than people think. The pre-orders sold out in like a half hour, and Amazon has it listed as already selling better than the PS4 Pro ytd. I love my Pro but I'm going to play multi-plat games on the system that gives the better experience, and based on the...

    Star Citizen Online - The search for more money

    So Erin Roberts just talked about how there will be survival elements to the game. You will have to eat, drink, shower, etc. to avoid getting penalties. Seriously? This isn't remotely the same game I backed when it was announced. Fuck these guys and anyone who still defends this circus.

    I haven't noticed any difference. I upgraded the internal to a 2tb Barracuda and then added a second that I use through USB and it seems the same to me.

    Mass Effect Andromeda is $20 on Origin. Might be worth it if you have too much free time on your hands, otherwise it's probably going to be an EA Access game pretty soon.

    That's like claiming a game with shit inventory size is balanced around you having to constantly shuffle/sell/drop things. Great! It still sucks ass! While weapon drops are plentiful it's still stupid and annoying having to constantly pick up, break, pick up, break them on a constant basis. I...

    I don't care what the apologists say, the weapon durability in BotW was some of the dumbest shit I've ever experienced in a video game. Luckily I played it on the U and PC and just edited the shit out of the values. Mario/Rabbids looks like it will be fun and Mario will be a hit, but the sheen...

    The Secret World

    You're an idiot if you think it's a single "shitty blog" that holds this opinion. It's virtually everyone and if you think otherwise you're not the one wasting your time, I am, because you're ignoring reality. You probably think Shroud of the Avatar has good combat too. Anyway, I enjoy TSW, but...

    The Secret World

    Is complaining about TSW's combat really news to you? It's only standard in that you move and react with the keyboard the same way you do in other MMOs. But it's a clunky mess. From the way your character moves to the interactions with enemies to the animations, none of it feels right. It feels...

    The Secret World

    People have been bitching about TSWs combat for years. Pretty much every who quits the game lists it as a reason why. If you found it acceptable before it's not surprising you'd find it acceptable now, because it's almost identical. As far as the biggest pro to the game, it's easily the story...

    The Secret World

    The problem with this revamp is that it doesn't fix the main thing that people hated about it in the first place. Like, their one and only concern should have been to make combat better, and they literally didn't change it at all. Sure, they took out and revamped the way you use and acquire...

    Divinity Original Sin Enhanced Edition

    I think the town is what stops most people from finishing. There's just way too much shit to do there and it can seem never-ending. I'm still looking forward to the sequel, the combat alone puts it above all the other iso rpgs released recently. I just hope the game has better pacing.

    Sony only makes that $100 if people actually subscribe. They'd make a hell of a lot more money combining the two and charging $60 than they do now.

    Was just at the beach and my nephew brought his Switch. I noticed the right top corner of the screen was raised up and not flush like the rest of the screen. Apparently this is a thing and the glue on that side isn't as ample as on the left. Pressing it down works for a bit and then it will pop...

    They weren't too bad, especially Mario Kart. But running and jumping in Zelda is ass as well as anything that requires holding the shoulder buttons down. Also the fact that the system is completely flat combined with the tiny joycons made my hands hurt after a while and my wrists sore. I sure as...

    Rocket League is going to play like shit via portable. Between the small size and awful button layout the joycons are damn near useless. Even Zelda and Mario Kart sucked to play using them.

    In the U.S. the PS4 outsold the Switch in May. We knew the supply was shit. If they don't start upping their stock soon there is no way they hit their 10 million mark this year. Scratch that, they definitely aren't hitting their mark this year.

    I'm waiting to see how the X and Pro stack up in terms of what developers actually do with the extra X power. There are a ton of multi-platform games that I don't particularly want to play on the PC and right now I'm buying those on the Pro. If the X ends up with better looking/running games...

    I don't even see the point of building a gaming PC unless you go high end or just play indie games. I mean if $500 was my budget I'd just buy a console and call it a day. I agree, though, about Ultrawide, it's far and away the best PC gaming experience. Of course, people who use tv's don't...

    Do you read the shit you link? Both of those articles contridict your stance. The first flat out states you aren't gaming at 4K on that machine, the second says this: You should stick to trading card games. Anyway, trying to argue with people about building a $500 PC to match the X is...

    Delaying 1080's and 1080 Ti's. Apparently it's locked to those two cards so you can't buy a code from someone and use it unless you have one of those models. Of course if you do, you'll probably find a key on the cheap sooner or later.

    That's what I meant when I said "I want to see upgraded machines every few years that play all the games from the last version, but also play new, better looking games". I don't expect the Playstation 2017 to be able to play games released on the Playstation 2019, just the opposite. Basically...

    What I want to see is the term console cycle to disappear. Now that they've moved to PC parts I want to see upgraded machines every few years that play all the games from the last version, but also play new, better looking games. Basically they should be self-contained, no fuss computers that...

    Horizon: Zero Dawn

    I don't think it's that bad, but coming from TLOU I see your point. You should stop playing, load up Andromeda for an hour, and then go back to Horizon. That will fix you. :)

    That's how it was the last time they had up bundles, which tells me demand isn't as high as people think. I mean if you just have to have a Switch, you're going to spend the bundle price anyway, they aren't marked up. People were paying upwards of a $1k for the PS3 at release and any bundle...

    Going by how you are using the term "platform" Horizon Zero Dawn was designed for an older platform, the PS4, and it's the best looking game I've played in a long time when played on the Pro. Xbone and X aren't "multi-platform", they are the same platform. Saying that they are different...

    So which is it? Is the fucking Switch a handheld or not?

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    I don't see how people can claim graphics don't matter considering the PS4 Pro is a thing and traditional cross-platform powerhouse, Xbox, is getting handed it's ass and had to make the X because the Xbone games look like stir-fried shit in comparison to even the standard PS4. As to this game...

    1) The most graphically intense games on the PC are console ports with higher resolution/graphics...how is that different? 2) The Steam survey is accurate. The average gamer has a shit PC, and the amount of PC gamers who have machines that can play at 4K (even checkerboard) are minuscule. I...

    Maybe, we'll see. The Pro has a couple dozen native 4k games, I don't see why the X won't do better. You gotta remember that the games still have to run on the OG Xbone also. The Division is running in native 4k, with improved shadows/reflections on the Pro and it's mult-plat, btw. You don't...
