    Playstation 5

    Xbox has no cool **exclusive** games; anything you can play on xbox, you can play on PC/PS5 PS5 has some exclusive you will be able to play in the future at some point. I have Godfall coming for the PS5 and AC:Vahalla coming for the XSX for launch titles. Hopefuly I will get a Zen3 and 6800XT...

    Cyberpunk 2077

    Now is literally the best time to upgrade parts wise in a decade. Availability and price wise? I haven't done the math but you can get really great stuff These Zen3 chips are amazing from the looks of it. I think I am going to get a 5600x and 6800xt and build a smaller rig. I just don't...

    Hades (Supergiant Games)

    I need to get gud. I love the game but rogue-likes are not in my wheelhouse. I need to really focus on the mechanics of getting a build I like and that works, rather than just going full rando every time and slowly crawling towards mirror upgrades. I barely make it to Elysium occasionally...

    You may have been in a coma for the last year but the CCP effectively ended all of that. The CCP moved to install a puppet government and institute a new Security Law that enforced mainland restrictions in Hong Kong. People in Hong Kong fought back in elections, so the CCP brought in muscle...

    Looking at it, that has to be exclusive to Hong Kong, now that CCP has taken over Hong Kong controlled by puppets of the mainland. They are extending CCP rules to Hong Kong. Lie down with Communists, get Maoist fleas. Sony has slowly lost it though. Sony JP had balls, Sony USA is probably...

    Safetyism. From kids who grew up never knowing the joy of riding bikes without helmets, playing in the front yard, or riding the back of a pickup truck. Who thought the end of those things would be harbringer of the decline of western civ?

    That's.....really stupid. There will be tons of reasons to keep it, though, just make XSX your "play with friends" console until they fix it.

    Cameron is probably a major-league liberal ahole but he is loyal to folks he works with. Kudos for that. A++++ would watch everything before Avatar again.

    Star Wars Squadrons

    It's two copies of this game they won't sell, because the bar has to be higher "just ok" to over the "Muh agenda" level of politics. Fuck these people and their putting politics in every.blessed.thing.

    Guild Wars 2

    Now's the time for my regular post of "Reading this thread makes me want to get back into GW2 but I have an 80 in almost every class I want to play and I haven't liked any of the expansions." Launch GW2 may be my favorite MMO of all time, though.

    Says the poster using terms favored by the Far-Left to describe the "stage" of capitalism. People acting unethically isn't capitalism; that's just people acting unethically. It happens under any economic system. The only difference here is they don't shoot you when you complain.

    There was a time when it seemed like the best way to make money was to give people what they wanted, i.e. capitalism. These were people who loved games and gave something back, Now these companies are run by people who love money above all else and don't care about the product, and are now...

    "Dances with Communist Hippie GreenPeace Blue Wolves in Space" can go fuck themselves. He was ahead of his time in the tech space but much like Star Wars, he merely amalgamated previous cultural threads of self-hate/natives-are-better/the "pressure" of the modern world driving people to seek a...

    I have to admit when I saw this today I thought "WTF is this blue?" It does look like Sonic Blue and white. Maybe? It may be a stretch but it wouldn't be the first time something like this was planned. Generally they are announced, though.

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    I agree, although by many people's definition nothing MS owns will be "exclusive" because it will be on both XSX/S and PC. They don't want "exclusives" per se, though, in the same way Sony wants them: Sony wants great games to get you to buy their consoles so you chose their platform overall...

    They are holding the 20GB 3080, 3070 etc until after the release/announcement of Big Navi in late Oct. This is just early fleecing of 2020 pigeons enamored with nVidia allure; otherwise nVidia wouldn't be rushing these out the door to be sure to snatch them up before doubt sets in. I mean, it...

    I got 2 Xs (Amazon and Best Buy on the 2nd go round) and an S from MS. I had an X early at MS and it bombed out and then emptied the cart; also one at Sam's that by the time I hit "complete" they were OOS. This wasnt any better than the untimed release: more hype more bots, more panic, more...

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    Getting rid of classes was a terrible mistake. I wasn't overjoyed when I played it years ago and it was bug-ridden and glitchy on release. There was no clear vision for what it was going to be. The conceit of going to a different galaxy let them tell a different galaxy-wide story but people...

    I got the Amazon email as well but I don't have any other options. I have a daughter who is full-on fucking beaming about getting the console day one, though, so I will keep looking and buying them until we get a solid deal. I would bet Amazon comes, though, for most people. Our Prime is...

    Hades (Supergiant Games)

    I haven't played it for a while but found I sucked at it. Maybe I suck less now? Supergiant is amazing, though. Music, art, and story for all their games are through the roof; they are one of the few developers that really make the games-as-art-not-commerce arguments come to life.

    I've decided that unless I win one, I all going all in on AMD this time, unless they just flat out flop. Then I will buy whatever is best after Oct 28th that fits in a NZXT H1. Or whatever, I have PCs with a 2080TI and 1080TIs respectively. I will survive until Q1 when this shakes out.

    Its also slowed down to almost nothing. 7mph when I last looked. Supposedly may shift further east. NO not even in the cone any longer, taking direct aim at Mobile, though, and will be a huge rainmaker, particularly if it slows down any more. Edit: All of this is taken into account by the...

    I have explained this a number of times but for those in my circle who are less technically proficient, who balk at spenting $500+ on video cards, who don't keep up with their drives but who still want to play games, its just so much easier to when they ask me what to buy: An Xbox.

    25 bucks a month for 24 months for a (mostly) next gen console that includes Game Pass, EA Play, and X Cloud that lets you play all of those games on iDevices; 35 bucks a month for the top of the line 4K version of that. Sony is fighting the last war and doing a great job; all the exclusives...

    I have never adjusted to the smaller 1/4" needles. Of injectables I take 4-6 shots of Humalog and 1x shot of Lantis and its 50 bucks for each for 3 months worth.
