    Looking to sell some items. My heatware. RTX 4070 ASUS. Used for less than a year. Works great, has had zero issues. Includes original box. Price: $495 shipped. PM for questions/offers.

    What are you nerds playing this weekend?

    DCS, messing around in VR.

    Borderlands 3

    The thing with Borderlands is the stories are never that good. The games focus more on gameplay than narrative design. This can be a double edged sword for adapting many games to film. Many game story plots are often a bit weak when put into a completely linear non-interactive medium like film...

    Ghost of Tsushima (Confirmed)

    That seems to be my impression as well. Only one I tried was Stranger of Paradise, Final Fantasy. I didn't care for it at all and it looked quite blurry and bad. The rest of their games I've looked at have never appealed to me much.

    Star Wars Outlaws

    Looks similar to Jedi Survivor, but with an emphasis on shooting rather than light sabers. With luck it won't have too much junk side activities. I found Jedi Survivor, while having a lot of side stuff, to be more sensible. Most of the areas were covered by side quests gotten at a hub.

    Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League (Rocksteady)

    That is about all it is worth. By then they will add an offline mode for this single player game as well.

    Samsung 990 Pro or WD Black SN 850x?

    I purchased one directly from WD. Went on sale further, contacted customer service to see if I could get a price adjustment. They said to repurchase at the lower price and send back the first order as they offer free returns. I did that, then they claimed I sent back a Samsung drive and refused...

    Review the game you finished recently.

    I did. RTX 4070, Ryzen 7800X3D could barely keep pace with DLSS quality. At least in the forest sections. City area ran better. Excellent graphical showcase or to benchmark a GPU with. Too bad the rest wasn't as good.

    Review the game you finished recently.

    Alan Wake 2 Alan Wake 2, or as I like to call it Alan Walk 2, is an amazing looking game that does not play quite as well as it looks. I also spent a little more than half of the game time playing as someone who was not Alan Wake. As a sequel to the first game, I found it a bit underwhelming...

    Samsung 990 Pro or WD Black SN 850x?

    SN850X is a fast drive. Just don't buy from WD directly.

    Final Fantasy XVI

    That is good news. I just want FF7 Rebirth to come out first. I assume Square would want to space out the releases though.

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    It is okay. Story isn't as good as the main game. Still kind of fun.

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    It was fun although I didn't care for it as much as the main game but that can be said for most DLC. If you enjoyed the main game you will enjoy this. Though the PC version includes the DLC.

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    I enjoyed Crisis Core, mainly for the gameplay. I think the story was not done well. There are some side quests that give you some items that may be useful but you will find them derivative quickly. It was originally designed as a PSP game, and side encounters and overall map design certainly...

    Ghost of Tsushima (Confirmed)

    Slightly unrelated, but there is another similar game, Rise of the Ronin, coming out soon for PS5. Team Ninja game, but looks less grounded in reality but overall similar. Suppose next year that will come to PC.

    Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League (Rocksteady)

    37 days and already 40% off. Must have broken a record, even if the heyday of Steam sales. Now the plan was likely always to make most of the profit from micro transactions but they priced it $70 for a reason. This is such a flop I'm amazed that 70% of Steam reviews are positive.

    7900X3D $406.02 @ Amazon

    For gaming the X3Ds certainly seem to be ideal. You can always get a 7800X3D now and upgrade next year. That is the nice thing about AMD.

    Ghost of Tsushima (Confirmed)

    Pulled from the Steam page. If they aren't representative of the game Sony should put better ones up. Even if there are compression issues with the screen shots, that wouldn't change the way the snow looks, or tree and leaf models. The snow looks more like a game from 2010 or so. Maybe even...

    S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2: Heart of Chernobyl

    I more or less expect this to be at least somewhat buggy. As for the development it started in 2018. The original STALKER 2 game was cancelled years ago.

    Best GPU stress testing software?

    What is the best software these days to stress test a GPU? Looking to find max stable overclock. Used to use Furmark, but wondering if there is something better.

    Ghost of Tsushima (Confirmed)

    Certainly not as pretty as the other PS4/5 ports to PC: Graphics aren't everything but this game looks more like something from 10 years ago in some ways. Maybe even like remastered 10+ year old game. Bit odd considering how nice the other Sony games looked. Still interested in it...

    Ghost of Tsushima (Confirmed)

    Graphically it looks kind of mixed to me. Gameplay sections look blurry, but the in game cutscenes and faces look nice. I assume the PC version will clean up the image quality and there is some type of upscaling done on the PS4/5.

    Ghost of Tsushima (Confirmed)

    God of War Ragnarok is not yet too years. I suppose it can come late 2024, but I can see it slip to 2025. Sony generally doesn't announce its ports too far in advance. But didn't expect Ghost to come this soon. Pleasantly surprised.

    7900X3D $406.02 @ Amazon

    Any reason as to why? Higher boost clock on the 7900X which I assume will help in gaming. Edit: Less of the cache available per core apparently hurts gaming performance slightly.

    Goodbye Origin - EA App is now in session

    I remember when Origin was new. It had some hiccups at first but then generally ran well. They also have live customer support which was actually intelligent and would give coupons occasionally if you contacted them. What a reversal.

    Ghost of Tsushima (Confirmed)

    Like the author of the article wrote, I hope FF7 Rebirth comes shortly after the exclusivity period ends, and this comes sometime later this year. The Last of Us 2 may be coming this year as well.

    Horizon Forbidden West

    Was worried it would get delayed, so them posting the system requirements is a good sign it will come out as planned.

    Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League (Rocksteady)

    I'm sure it contributed, but the amount of poor design decisions like online only, general gameplay, and it being a "live service" were not influenced by them. It is just a bad game.

    Sweet Baby Inc Steam Tracker

    Eurogamer has put up some nonsense articles in the past, but that review takes it to extremes. And the reviewer is practically a living stereotype.

    Sweet Baby Inc Steam Tracker

    Or you could just ignore the people whining online, who likely were not interested in the game in the first place. Some people just lack imagination. You can skim the video Blade Runner posted, or skim the Sweet Baby podcast videos they have posted themselves. The CEO more or less is obsessed...

    Sweet Baby Inc Steam Tracker

    When I was first made aware of Sweet Baby I assumed they would do a good job helping games make better stories. They talk about making strong connections with characters and making reasons for the player to care about them. But they spend more time talking about diversity and inclusion. After...

    FS: AMD Ryzen 5700X & CPU cooler

    My heatware. AMD Ryzen 5700X. Includes original box. Price: $150 shipped. SOLD CPU is sold, still have the cooler. If anyone happens to want it let me know, $15 is more or less the shipping cost so doubt anyone will want it. Cryorig H7 CPU cooler. Price: $15 on top of CPU price...

    Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Remake

    They bought all of these studios up and did nothing with them, and fired a bunch of people. Why did they ever bother? Saber Interactive has New World Interactive, the Insurgency Sandstorm developers. Hopefully NWI continues on and keeps making the Insurgency series.
