I’m offended they didn’t include my body type. I identify as body type 5!

I’ll be getting the normal edition. I didn’t play FH5 much but Japan is a more interesting location for me so I imagine I will enjoy it more.

I’ve had the 42” C4 for half a year now and have no regrets for gaming or media. I don’t think you will be disappointed.

It’s a solid game but leans towards the hardcore sweaty PVP side of extraction shooters which won’t appeal to a large audience. It’s probably been my favourite PVP experience since early days of R6:Siege, but if they don’t get the player numbers up I don’t see it lasting longer than a year in...

There are a few things to this: The game has aggression based match making. If it was your first raid then you were likely in a neutral lobby with semi-aggressive players. If you don’t shoot anyone then you will slowly get into friendly lobbies after 5-10 matches. People are generally more...

I know this game gets a lot of hate but I recently got it and so far I enjoy it despite the difficulty. I die way more in it than I do in Arc Raiders but I think the mindset is to treat it like a roguelite while you are starting out and just complete the contracts to level up factions and not...

I’ve played a few hours, it’s decent. The gameplay itself is good but the menus and overall UI reminds me more of a mobile game rather than a typical Hot Shots title. Also it has a lot of annoying/polish issues like: Characters saying the same annoying voice line before every shot Characters...

Camelot who started the Everybody’s Golf/Hot Shots franchise went on to make Mario Golf, so the two games are fairly similar.

I got this but haven’t played it yet. Early reports from Reddit are that it runs terribly. A good PC should handle it but the steam deck and PS5 are having issues to the point that it affects your timing on swings. The fact that this looks like a mobile game but doesn’t run well is a bit...

You only get a key if you buy it from a participating retailer during the promo period. Some people sell their keys so you can buy them second hand, but that comes with all the risks of buying a second hand key.

Same here. Beat it the first month it was out. Now I’m playing it again as the ‘Final version’, also I didn’t have OLED or a 5090 when I first played it. As far as it being a whole new game I call BS on that, but I thought it was fine at launch so I may be the minority there.

I’ve heard the newer driver loses some performance so that might be the difference, although I have seen the same thing on other runs where I have higher clocks but get lower scores. One thing I haven’t tried yet is dialling back the memory clock. I might not be stable at that speed and ECC...

This is the route I went. 42” C4 at close out prices. I have a C1 in my living room and am excited to have a C4 in my office despite it not being the “perfect display”.

Against my better judgement I ended up getting an Asus TUF 5090 base model. So far this is my best score running on 576.80: https://www.3dmark.com/sn/7301133 Unfortunately I lost the curve that produced this and am now around the 15,300-15,500 mark.

Yes, I saw this pop up elsewhere but assumed it was JayZ just not understanding how a feature works and I guess I was correct. I don't think it's a good thing to force it on for all games but it is an option I guess if you don't mind possible performance hits in older titles.

They have free weeks a few times a year (including right now) but they are generally a pretty buggy time to play. This has improved with server meshing and the player increase to 600ish players per shard. As far as buy in price the starter pack is $45. That gets you a small ship and access to...

I have the PNY 5070 ti MSRP model on the way, they finally started selling them a handful at a time on BestBuy Canada this week. Hopefully should be in my hands on it this Friday.

Didn’t watch the video but It’s a decent card at MSRP. The problem is there are only a few SKUs at that price. Could it be better value? Yes, but you can say that about any card this gen.

If I can get the one 5070 ti model that is available at MSRP in Canada I might go that route to replace my 3080 ti in a secondary system. Otherwise I will probably sit out this generation.

There is offline mode, but you use the same character in offline and online so there is still incentive to level up your stats to maximum unless you enjoy the challenge of using an unlevelled character. Otherwise there is casual online, ranked online, user made leagues and official online...

No. You level to improve your characters attributes and equipment unlocks. Then once you are max level and the meta has been analyzed everyone uses the same build and it becomes skill based. It has been that way in sport games for a while unfortunately.

The game is out now but they significantly nerfed the rate of progression for leveling up your character as of yesterday. Also in that patch they changed the swing mechanics so it feels quite a bit more difficult on Pro difficulty and above compared to the demo and the paid early access period...

This is my third try with Monster Hunter. I enjoyed the last two games but always got distracted and never went back to them. Hopefully this time I finish it otherwise I think I’m done with the franchise.

I skipped 2k23 since it seemed very similar to 2k21 but I will likely be getting it this year. The demo felt good.

No, they are doing just enough to keep their position in the gaming market while selling as many AI cards as possible. As far as launch availability I would say it was better than 30 series and slightly worse than 40 series. I was able to cart a few cards but didn’t want them.

I forgot to get this during the early access discount so I will probably just wait until it has the free roaming mode added before giving it a serious look.

I think I’ll give this a try, haven’t used my sim rig in a while.

I guess I phrased it as ‘only’ 30% because that is less impressive when they increase the price 25%. For people that dabble in AI the card will be amazing but for gamers it is less so. I can’t blame Nvidia for focusing on AI first and I expect them to do that going forward but I can’t justify...

The only huge gains for this gen are in the AI side of things. Everything else you can guesstimate based on the clock speed and CUDA count. I believe the 5090 has around 30% more CUDA cores but a lower clock speed than the 4090. Most cards only have 2-4 more RTX units as well but they are a...

As a 4090 owner I was mildly interested in the 5090, but with the price increase and the Canadian dollar tanking I think I am going to skip this launch. I might be tempted by a 5080 ti in a year if the price is right or I might just wait for the 60 series. I’m old school and value raster...

I just finished the ‘Save Stanton’ stuff on 3.24.3 so I am ready to try out Pyro now but I expect it to be pretty rough until May-ish.

This feels like ‘The Acolyte’ all over again. It ended well the first time lol.

Sounds like a pass for me based on that leak.

It’s a little presumptuous to say what the writing is like at this point and any game with create a protagonist has multiple voice actors so that comment wouldn’t be valid either.

They should just let us create our protagonist like Cyberpunk or Mass Effect. Problem solved. The game looks kinda interesting but I don’t like being force fed stuff so I will wait and see how this plays out.

The only way this makes sense is if it is a budget or free to play title. I can’t see many people paying full price for a bunch of random boss encounters in a single zone.

I switched from Warrior to Sorceress and it is a world of difference at the lower levels, and a lot more fun too. Also WASD movement feels amazing.

I’m enjoying the slow progress. Finally unlocked the guy that identifies items so that should help my cash flow situation which will lead to better items since most upgrades seem to come from the shop or gambling. I hear melee hits a wall at level 50, so I may switch off warrior at some point...

I think I will get this tonight, assuming the servers aren’t dead.
