Paying a lump sum likely comes with an opportunity cost which debt, especially at 0%APR, probably won't have.

I get why Americans without money do, but you don't have to get very high up the income ladder for all the abstraction layers pretty much disappear and your Big Purchase rates come down to "how much do you have, how much do you owe, and what do you make." It affects the APR of the debt.

UncleGuito posted:Not sure how to troubleshoot this but ever since I got my Series S on launch day, the screen will randomly flicker to black for about a second, a few times over a 1-2min period upon returning from standby. This seems to happen with HDR games and doesn’t happen after the first couple mins that the console has been on. I’m not sure if there’s a setting somewhere that is messing something up but it sure is annoying. Doesn’t happen with HDR games on my PS4 and haven’t had any other issues with the TV itself (Samsung KS8000). Has anyone else experienced this? Xbox consoles in my experience can hang up going from HDR and back, especially if you don’t give them time to process the transition or whatever. Ive had it happen with Netflix more than with games, and even then it’s pretty rare with the Series X and One X. The only thing I can suggest is a hard reset when it happens.

bushisms.txt posted:I don't think there was a 3 even considered at that point. They say they wanted to do apex and the work on it shows. Plus they're now rumoured to be dropping a pilot into Apex and they've already confirmed 3 is ago. Apex saved them if anything and it compelled EA to invest in them as their primary FPS shooter for the last year or so. That pilot rumor has been around since people got mad at the exclusion of wall running when Apex first released. Admittedly, I don’t follow the game regularly because I think it plays like poo poo.

teagone posted:The only other FF I have any real interest in playing thru is FFX since that's the only other one I watched my cousin play back when it first came out. I'll probably grab the FFX/X-2 HD Remaster for Xbox after I finish FFVII. FF7-9 are all really good. They’re throwbacks, but if you like 7, there’s a good chance you’ll like the other PS1 Final Fantasies as well. 8 is my favorite, but I’ll be the first to admit that it is an odd bird.

teagone posted:Played another hour-ish of FF7 today, the charm is resilient and hasn't let up so far. Fun game! Still trying to figure out the materia system with what little materia I have. As an aside, having watched an FF7 Remake stream playthrough from start to finish last year, it's kind of crazy to me how fast I feel like the original game moves along the story in comparison lol. The bit where Tifa is on her way to Don Corneo/Wall Market in the Remake did not happen as fast as it does in the original it feels like lol. I was like, "drat, I'm already at this point in Remake's story?" I also realize Remake is only a chunk of the original story, but still, being able to have a frame of reference to compare to is fun and interesting. I really like the remake, but it added a ton of stuff for better or worse (especially its dogshit ending). Midgar makes up maybe 10% of FF7, so if you’re digging the story and gameplay so far, you’ll likely love it all the way through. I played 8 before 7 and it had realisticish character models, and it was a little hard to swallow the FF7 sprites at first. It’s a good enough game that that wore off, though.

teagone posted:Figured that. Everything is super familiar because of my having watched Remake streams, hah. I was about to head into the vents but went back down a couple floors to save and take a break after playing for a little over 2 hours. Game really is good for how simple it is so far. At this point, I feel like I haven't even tapped into the materia system at all lmao. You’re in for a treat, because that familiarity is about to go out the window. FF7 is a 70 hour game (this was an old rpg metric), and there’s so much stuff that the remake never touched on. I’m actually pumped to see you make it to other cool stuff lol.

Idk if this is the thread for this speculation, but the rumor is Starfield may be coming out this Fall and will be Game Pass exclusive. This is based on MS/Bethesda filing a new copyright or something like that. If it’s true it’s not exactly a shock. Fallout 4 will be six years old this November, and that’s a long time between games even for slow rear end Bethesda.

Healbot posted:Making a good Halo is not in the cards these days, the franchises time has passed. Halo has been dying a slow death since CoD 4 came out and changed the game, which sucks because when the series is firing on all cylinders it’s fantastic. But I agree. Without some serious innovation, mainline Halo games are just going to continue to be mediocre at best. And 343 has not shown the willingness to actually innovate so far.

Laserface posted:Getting excited for not yet released video games is all round a bad idea if you want to stand any chance of enjoying it when it comes out. It’s hard not to get pumped over stuff that looks cool, but you’re not wrong. AAA releases have been more misses than hits during the Xbone/PS4 generation. What tentpole releases didn’t fall short? Off the top of my head, Witcher 3, Red Dead 2, God of War? Most stuff was either mediocre like CoD and Halo or downright lovely like Andromeda.

TheAnomaly posted:1000 is the max for a standard release title, with 250 for most Xpacs. Most companies just use up the whole amount over the course of their game, especially since some of the early titles (Condemned comes to mind, I think the King Kong movie game as well) didn't and people's minds exploded for some reason. Elder Scrolls Online has gone completely round the bend. I wouldn’t be surprised if it had over 4K now.

Prey was very poorly marketed, much like anything Bethesda has put out in recent years that isn’t Elder Scrolls/Fallout, and was a new IP. Also an immersive sim RPG. I honestly don’t think that particular genre has a ton of mainstream popularity. The Preys/Deus Exs/Dishonoreds of the world never seem to set the world on fire. I guess Cyberpunk is the exception since it sold like 13 million copies.
