Isn't it a bit disingenuous, and patronizing, to say SpaceX is breaking records when the record they "broke" only exists due to arbitrary restrictions like "out of launches in the US"? I think SpaceX is great, as is Tesla, but let's give India credit where credit is due!

I'm sure you're right that it was ZeniMax, because they own Bethesda and the IP, but Bethesda GameWorks didn't make FO76. It was another studio, using their engine and tools. Not that GameWorks would have done much better technically, but I doubt they'd release a game in this state or lacking...

But that usually DOESN'T apply to new game releases. It's only in the last couple of years that we've seen a few games get discounts before the holidays, on "just released" but "poorly performing" games. No games that anyone wants are now a better deal than buying them smart at release - like...

We're definitely seeing a bad trend in AAA with the major publishers mostly (EA, Acti/Bliz, etc) - so he is right in being concerned. But dead, or dying? No way. Rockstar just made the most detailed, and unique among open world games in its quality level and interactiveness, and made a...

Wait... when did Best Buy kill theirs?? I still have almost 2 years left and just used it! Even if I still can get the discount for the remainder of my discount club sub, I really will miss getting 26% off (20% + 6% back with rewardzone credit card) every new physical game I buy at release...

Sorry I should have replied to you too... Neg LOD bias in the NV Control Panel no longer does anything, since the 980/970 cards I believe, but don't quote me as to exactly when it stopped working for most cards on the market. You can see it in the release notes for the newest drives, I believe...

Actually, as of a little while back, Negative LOD bias now does NOTHING. Which is hilarious, because they left the option in the control panel and didn't even bother to clarify the tool-tip (and never do anymore), like they did at one time man years ago for Triple Buffering only affecting...

Are you fucking kidding? For one, I am not a Nazi but please assume anyone who values freedom of speech, in all aspects of life, or disagrees with you in any way, is one. Very logical and neo-liberal of you (I am a hardcore liberal, but people like you embarrass me enough where I don't even...

Keep in mind they conveniently left out how MUCH time a given controller is used by the players, which you'd think would be by far the most important metric instead of just happening to own or have used controllers of another type... because lots of people bought the Steam controller to try it...

Come, now! I'm a PC player at heart and always have been, but controllers are just BETTER for some games - like anything that benefits from analog movement (left thumbstick, etc), but doesn't need super-precise aiming from a mouse. Driving games, for example... or some 3rd person action games...

Honestly, most games now have in-game settings for supersampling which look and perform better than DSR (mainly perform better, of course). Only in older games, or newish games that aren't high-budget graphical powerhouses, really would need or benefit at all from DSR over what is offered...

People keep comparing the 2080 to the 1080 Ti, which is understandable given that they're closer in price... but no one mentions that the 2080 simply DOES NOT HAVE ENOUGH MEMORY! Seriously, we already have games that can more than max out 8GB. 11GB is the minimum now for a high end card IMO...

Yeah, and what did we expect from "audiophiles"? You know, the ones who can't distinguish nostalgia from audio quality? Who fueled the completely insane "success" of Monster cables, when a coat-hanger-as-wire performs exactly the same? I would like to see an "audiophile" actually prove they...

Easy answer. It's logical to most that applying more is better, especially given how much comes in a tube. How could more conductive paste hurt, whereas a rice sized amount doesn't seem like it would cover the whole proc surface - to a layman? It's always been a misconception. It's always...

That's true for literally ALL OF THE INTERNET! I don't mean to pick on you, but it sure seems like the Verge is kinda right up your alley with all your """forward thinking""" viewpoints, like that there are a significant portion of female streamers who can't handle the general, always there...

He did explain exactly why they were wrong, at least in all the cases I remember... And though I've only seen a few of his videos, he's been decidedly fair and particularly NOT dickish (especially here in this case), especially compared to the rest of the YouTube, or tech review, field... What...

You scare me a lot more than Nazi tatoos on a criminal in a game. Seriously. The blatant disregard for freedom of speech and expression is extremely dangerous... and the whole point is to protect unpopular speech and expression! If you can't talk about it or make art about it, it gets worse...

Those aren't socialist countries at all, or not more than anyone else really. Seriously. Don't listen to the meatheads in the US mega-media and university students. See: https://www.forbes.com/sites/jeffreydorfman/2018/07/08/sorry-bernie-bros-but-nordic-countries-are-not-socialist/#1154c07c74ad

I've liked all the recent open-world Rockstar titles, but I definitely liked the pace of RDR. For one, you could still fast travel if you wanted... I just never did, because I loved riding around, taking in the serene scenes in between action and random events, hunting, etc. To each their own...

Am I crazy, or could you guys sign the NDA and then, when you do want to post something critical, have a sister site that you just link to instead that has NOT signed the NDA? How could NVIDIA actually prevent you from getting the word out in some fashion? There have to be a ton of loop holes...

Not knowing the full details of what they were transmitting or if it really was personally identifiable (it likely is, since they all are barely hiding the personally identifiable parts it seems, and they can be descrambled by an inexpensive 3rd party service), the way this is written indicates...

I have had a 2017 C7 LG OLED for a while now, maybe 6 months, and it would show very momentary screen retention when I first used it, before it was done breaking in. Since then, nothing. And I use it as a monitor, but not all day - 6+ hours though, sometimes. Certainly no burn in yet. Also...

I can't see any reviewer worth their salt saying that they're better than OLED in picture quality, in any way. They still have relatively few LEDs for the local-dimming backlight, which causes ugly and distracting bloom on dark backgrounds with a light spot, like a mouse cursor on a black...

Agreed. And what's even more concerning for their "best in the market" brand reputation of the past is now gone - quite often, these days, you're paying a lot more for the Sony brand and it's STILL not as good overall as a cheaper competitor (or equivalent to a cheaper competitor). Which is...

FYI, the "soap opera" effect is always controllable in the settings of every TV I'm aware of. And everyone who cares about picture quality simply turns off the effect - no one likes fake extra frames at the cost of latency and an acceptable level of consistency (which I have yet to see with the...

You haven't owned a good OLED yet, have you? Because if you had, you'd realize they're simply next gen Plasma without some of the major issues, including burn in (which is really NOT an issue on the OLEDs I know of, and temporary at worst - on LG's panels, at least), and dimness. Any plasma...

You can pretend all you want that HDR is shit because you don't want to buy a new TV, but it's not a fad like 3D was. It's a bigger and better innovation than 1080p => 4K is, and it's about time someone finally decided to make the picture quality and color range/accuracy more of a focus than...

I guess that would be somewhat correct if the game devs in question just hate money (as would Facebook/Oculus), but I have a feeling you have no idea what you're talking about... in fact it's quite clear. Win7 and 10 are not nearly the "same" to any advanced application. If it costs more to...

Lots of generalized, unsubstantiated Edge hate in here - as expected! It's actually decent, though I still prefer Chrome, Edge IS more efficient these days in quite a few ways. Bing does suck, but that doesn't stop you from using Google in Edge. Also, LOL @ FF. Now THAT is a shit browser...

Yeah, but much of the industry is now full of those types, not just EA/Bioware. They know controversy sells, and take advantage of it in the most un-empathetic and asinine way possible. Or there's the younger crowd that actually think they're "progressive" and believe in "freedom" yet...

That's "Prime Fresh" I think (something like that). Prime Pantry is for non-perishables (beverages, soups, home cleaning and care products, sopes & other cosmetics, etc), but still a fantastic deal if you buy more than $40/month of those. I can't wait until Prime Fresh is available in my area...

I actually love it. I can buy all my non perishable goods and beverages, etc for the lowest price around, and usually they had a free shipping promo or coupon I had. It cost me less to get most of my non perishables directly to my door than at the grocery store. Since I order at least once...

You should get your eyes checked! Not only are there very noticeable better colors (millions upon millions more), but the darks AND brights are so much better. Keep in mind a lot of current games implemented the feature at the last minute and over-did the bright vs. dark a bit in many cases...

FYI... the HDR problems are with Windows itself, not games or necessarily NVIDIA/AMD drivers. The most recent feature packs went a long way toward fixing this, and I've played the last few games I have on PC in HDR and it looks great. It was a MESS though when MS first added their own messed...

This is definitely more "Doom", or even more accurate, "what the Mad Max game should have been (it seems)" - though I enjoyed the original RAGE enough to be surprised at how many people dismiss it now. I'm officially a bit excited for this, the car racing with weapons is something I've wanted...

LOL @ the idea that maybe this will bring the planned datacenter to the US. Uhhhh no. First, taxes. Second, uneducated public (people with STEM degrees available for any position are really hard to find here now). The US is no longer a competitive place to host major data centers, so the...

I hate to be the one defending MS here, but pssst... Google invented the user data selling and had mastered it long before MS followed suit, and Apple (macOS, not iOS) has all those same problems and more. I support about half Mac and half Windows clients... guess who I spend FAR more time with...

Email =/= audio / video / screen sharing / sharing system control for support / conferencing. Teams seems to do all those quite well, but MS is updating it so rapidly for the cloud and O365 stuff that it's probably a bit buggier than I'd like, though I don't use it myself enough to say. I can...

I actually have a problem, for once, with Microsoft being blamed for Skype's general shitiness. It was MASSIVELY shitty when they acquired it. It was unusable outside of Windows itself, and even there it was a buggy, inefficient mess. I can't say whether or not it improved in MS's hands, but...
