Ray2097's latest activity

I can clearly see all the way down to and including box 1 on Sony A95L QD-OLED.

Well... I'll make an assumption here: We are of a generation of gamers who were there for the genesis of both the games and the industry. It was exciting for us wasn't it? My god the number of computers and upgrades I did to play the latest game...

I think I'm coming to the end of "modern pc" gaming after 30 years in the hobby. This trend of possible 2500.00 gpu's combined with "modern games" that really don't target my age bracket is forcing me to reevaluate my priorities. At least I have...

It really did feel just like Tribes Ascend with nothing new to it... played one round and uninstalled :(

It is very strange... I really love the souls series - I never thought I would, but I've literally spent a year now running through them back-to-back. Elden Ring lost everything that made "Souls" special in pursuit of streamer-friendly...

Depends on the game, but generally more cache is better at a given cpu frequency, with the same number of instructions per clock. Any time your processor has to stop execution to fetch data from higher memory, that's more cycles you have to wait...

I'm pushing 60 now and have been gaming since the Atari 2600. I don't game as much as I used to but I still buy new shit all the time. I'll do it until I can't see my computer screen. Life is short and you might as well enjoy it while you can. I...

I think there are three reasons: 1) Games don't improve at the rate they use to, largely because graphics and physics have gotten pretty good and it is harder to improve. 1995 to 2005 was a massive jump. 2008-2018 was more or less small...

I know some of you will have no idea what I mean but are computers becoming more and more boring to you? I mean after many years now all games are starting to feel like ..... just games. There is nothing original, there is nothing new anymore...

Matte just scatters the light across the entire panel instead of it being focused to one point. It destroys the contrast of any monitor, not to mention making the image sparkle or blur. Glossy or glass all the way.

It truly goes back to the novelty factor. There was a definite charm early on with what we could do in VR - "First Contact" as an intro via Oculus was brilliant (and is brilliant for newcomers) for a reason. As a way to see all the things you...

I feel mostly the same. When they made HLA they didn't really make a VR game, they just made Half-Life work in VR. Yes it has nice graphics and is very polished, but the gameplay gets pretty boring once you get over the novelty of it being in...

~shrug~. Every single part is "look, we did VR!" - the flashlight on the hand? Cool - you get to shine lights around corners. The shotgun flick-to-close? Cool, it's like a real gun! Dragging ammo by hand? Okey dokey, fine - it's like a real...

Finished Trepang2. Poor man shooter. Lots of bugs and stupidity. Average gameplay. I know people said it reminded them of FEAR games but not for me. It was just all around a average to bad time. Gunplay was terrible, bullet spread was all over...

I welcome the 20th century monochromatic terminal black and green colour schemes of old. It is a far cry from the baby blue and white corporate garbage that everyone has been pushing since 2013. Sexy and cyberpunk: Corporate and shit:

My favorite gaming genre is adventure. That's what I grew up with, particularly Sierra adventure games. But I'm not really a fan of LucasArts games, and that's where I started to lose interest in the genre, though that's where most modern...
