1080p gaming is still sick. I'll probably keep my same set up until it becomes slow/unusable but four years going and my system still cracks.

The DLSS mod for RE4R is the only way I can get it to run without crashing on PC and AMDs upscaler looks a little assy there unfortunately

I'm sure there are cases where it's the opposite but it's always annoying when a game supports one and not the other



I thought my topend overclocked i7 from like 5 years ago with an AIO would see me through for quite a while but I'm seeing some games that eat up all available CPU bandwidth while annoyingly not maxing out the 3080. Hopefully it's a few fluke games because I really really don't wanna swap that thing out. Although an i9 from that gen might be cheap now anyways...

Or just do the sensible thing and keep the current hardware until it's just completely unservicable like last time

You can also grab this mod that uses the AMD framegen tech on NVidia GPUs
https://www.nexusmods.com/site/mods/738?tab=description

So Nvidia not offering framegen for older cards seems like a bunch of "Please buy our expensive cards" nonsense.

DLSS is the only reason my 2080super can play nearly everything at high or better settings at 1440p. It's great.

People seem to play stuff on Steamdeck I wouldn't expect, hopefully they'd try and at least exceed that hardware point by now. But it would be the first time if their hardware met expectations before it was revealed.

Just popping in to say that the Dragon Infinite Money people can die slow for moving this blatantly toward breaking up a fully complete game just to sell it back to us for even more money. Putting NG+ behind a paywall is such an unbelievably scummy thing to do and I genuinely hope the game fails because of it.

Granblue Relink early access started last night on the PS and I managed to play a couple of hours of it before heading to bed for work. So far the story is a little bit opaque if you haven't played the original gacha game before but they do give the broad strokes of the setup in dialogue and the lore log.

Gameplay's pretty fun at least even if it is just different combinations of mashing Square and Triangle and the game itself has a great artstyle so can't complain too much.

It's crazy to think about but Nintendo used to think about power.

Their next console will probably be same power as Steam deck for half the cost and they'll make it up by charging $70 for the next Mario games.

it's a shame the gameplay sounds a bit basic, although i guess i can't blame it too much for that when it took this long to come out in the first place

i've still been really thirsting for a good fantasy co-op action dungeon crawler to come out. deeprock galactic or lethal company aren't bad games by any means, but they just don't hit the same aesthetic notes for me

Note that I'm like literally level 5 or something and there's 95 more levels of character progression to go so there's probably more complex gameplay unlocked later. I've only played as Gran the protag who is pretty white bread in terms of gameplay as well, so other characters should be more complex by default.

Also if you want to go really sicko mode you can try to solo bosses and stuff, you can take people out of your party and just leave the slot empty and all so that it's just your chosen character.

I remember making arguments like that at the top of the hill about horse armor and DLC.

In Yakuzas case it's even more of a midroll rant since they've been selling Yakuza ng+ separately in japan for a while. You're not wrong that it's anti-consumer and all, but it's also not something we are going to vote away with our wallets.

I think classes being locked behind DLC is much worse anyway and they already pulled that in 7. NG+ is niche weirdo stuff that most players would never consider touching, so it's easier for them to not care or be impacted at all. But every player could make use of the better classes they stick in dlc or as preorder bait.

If it comes with the same quality as LaD, nobody will give a poo poo about the increased cost because it's worth it. If it doesn't, they won't pay it. Either way, there isn't a problem.
