    NVidia GeForce RTX 50x0 cards - 70% performance increase, but AI > you

    DLSS 4.5 works for any RTX card so anything 20xx and above, just the framegen is locked to 50xx cards. From what I reading from early reports though the new 4.5 DLSS is higher quality at the cost of performance, so it's basically not worth using on 20/30 series, but it can be fine for 40/50...

    NVidia GeForce RTX 50x0 cards - 70% performance increase, but AI > you

    Btw new Nvidia drivers came out with a new version of DLSS(4.5) which well, will look better supposedly. Also comes with even more fake frames gen for 50xx series if you're into that, all the way to 6x, which I'm sure looks like a bad acid trip but also some dynamic frame gen so it doesn't...

    So got my new PC today, went all the stages of grief of new PC shit, starting with waiting for the delivery guy to show up(will they actually show up, will they park in the street for 2mins then drive off and pretend I wasn't there) but he did show up, tried to jet out of there after ringing but...

    NVidia GeForce RTX 50x0 cards - 70% performance increase, but AI > you

    Oh right I didn't think about that, there are indeed a few specific niche genres where it might be good too like flight/racing sims since these are pretty heavy on reqs and are pretty much PC only.

    NVidia GeForce RTX 50x0 cards - 70% performance increase, but AI > you

    At least as far as gaming is concerned, you are future proof if you have more than the consoles, because ain't no way Sony releasing a PS6 with ram being the way it is right now anyway and if they do they'll skimp heavily on it to cut costs so game developpers will have to deal with this shit...

    Path of Exile 2

    It likely wouldn't have, had they fixed it quickly so the impact was minimal. PoE1 bans were very random(even back when Chris was still there), where sometimes they'd ban, and sometimes not. Old drama video from Ziz from Ultimatum league and he goes over some of past exploits that did get bans...

    Path of Exile 2

    Ban for what, running campaign maps for non RNG league mechanics? If only they could have predicted that by fixing it like 2years ago in PoE1 and not forgot to fix it in PoE2 also. Hell if I remember correctly in Synthesis they had the exact same issue of people farming tiles in campaign to...

    NVidia GeForce RTX 50x0 cards - 70% performance increase, but AI > you

    Was browsing various online shops seeing what how much it'd cost me to build a PC with every price getting fucked, and seems I lucked out and found a last remaining prebuilt in some shop with a sale on it that saves me like 1000euros buying the exact same thing separately cause it wasn't...

    Witchfire (Early Access)

    They have a roadmap for that stuff, it seems to missing stuff is basically one last zone and then a "story" with 1.0 being in 2026. I'd expect late spring/summer kind of release. I don't know how much a story will add to the game but well. I'm fine waiting a bit longer, there's a few other games...

    Warframe

    Sorry I didn't mean it becomes a lot better in terms of gameplay really, but in terms of having to build stuff. The fact is, gameplay at low level is very similar to gameplay in endgame. Bit slower mostly and you might not be able to fix energy issues as easily, but the way you play fully geared...

    Warframe

    I think the game definitely becomes a lot better when you 1) unlock Steel Path which is like hard mode and forces you to properly build chars 2) get to more recent content that is usually tuned to be more challenging even on normal, like roughly once you reach The New War and past that. Early...

    Divinity

    I think they're like this cause they were added over time. Explorer is easy, classic is normal, tactician is hard(it was added later in a patch, changes some encounters to add more mobs and different mechs and what not) and story mode I don't remember but if I had to guess it's journalist...

    Path of Exile 2

    Personally I quite like act 1, teaches you to dodge out of shit and stuff. I do think some skills should be available earlier though, but I think I'd compress it so you get all your skills by half of act2 rather than put everything in act1. It's starting around act3 that it gets tiresome as...

    Path of Exile 2

    The new Sorc clears really quickly while leveling once you get the ascendancy+decent spectres. It's pretty slow early on though.

    Once AI actually becomes good enough that it's not spottable constantly and show a lack of QA to save money, I think it'll be fine, currently though people just notice it pretty easily and when you have companies making tens of millions of dollars a month with live service shit skimping on...

    Too lazy to check source but a reddit post comparing it sais last year was even lower(9% iirc it said), it is a consistent statistic, a lot of people just don't play the lastest game because of money/sales, because they wait for later versions, because they just play older games or some genres...

    NVidia GeForce RTX 50x0 cards - 70% performance increase, but AI > you

    Yeah I'm considering a 5070ti too cause the prices are actually around MSRP which is significantly lower than 5080 prices I'm seeing. I was thinking I'd wait next gen but Nvidia cutting production means their next cards are either going to be delayed or ship in ridiculously small numbers and not...

    NVidia GeForce RTX 50x0 cards - 70% performance increase, but AI > you

    Man the whole system is super fucked because of all the AI shit. I've been putting off upgrading and now I basically need to BUY NOW or just get fucked for an inderterminate amount of time that is likely going to be much longer than the Covid fuckery because there's no way AI crashes that...

    Total War: Warhammer 40,000

    Main issue for me about DLCs is the races I want to play the most will likely be held back for game2 like they did with Fantasy. I want Tyranids mostly and then Necrons and I feel the Nid/Necron/Tau stuff will be the launch factions for the 2nd game because they're big, meanwhile first game only...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Oh yeah that panel should be nice too I've had a couple of sidebars I can probably get rid of, or at least most of them cause I think the new panel doesn't allow for keybindings and I'm using stuff there for some classes with too many buttons and a few other things. That said I'll likely just...

    Total War: Warhammer 40,000

    Yeah probably preorder faction so going to be 5, but tbh makes sense they do have deadlines and shit to make so they can't really be launching with 25 races. Can always just wait a year before buying it, saves money, get patches, and they'll probably add 2-3 factions in that time.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Some people play secondary chars so they can play another race without having to fantasia, or because they're addicts and need to have "stuff to do" so they raid twice a week instead of using their time for anything else, but yeah this is definitely one game where I've never felt the need to...

    Path of Exile 2

    I think it'll bring the refreshing PoE1 experience of pathing straight out into stats nodes to rush some minion nodes and ignore the starting area entirely. Riveting few early levels.

    Path of Exile 2

    I think Druids looks pretty nice, the rest of the patch looks quite meh. I disliked Synthesis "make your own map" shit a lot especially since there was a lot of optimization to make it good and didn't play Kalandra so not sure if it was much better but that shit gets tedious quickly. The new...

    Corpse runs as in you die to a boss you rez 10mins away and have to run back all the way to the boss room. Still have to grab runes but that's not as much of a concern. Also it's not everywhere, if you die to a boss in the overworld you'll still get put into the nearest spot, but most story...

    Elden Ring removed corpse runs at least, I think no pausing is still there though which honestly should just be a thing if you have invasions/online on and not if you're playing solo, but well.

    Path of Exile 2

    Well they'll likely have one ascendancy that's just transformations which is probably going to play like a pure melee but with different toggled modes(big slow aoe bear, fast attack wolf kind of shit I'd assume). Otherwise potentially a Templar thing.

    The Game Awards 2020

    Oh yeah I definitely don't know about it, only saw it on Twitch(just the viewer numbers didn't check a stream to avoid spoilers) and Reddit, I assumed it would have some LGBT stuff based on char designs and just being a modern story centric game. It seems to have been pretty well received though.

    Enjoyed Abiotic Factor a bunch earlier this year, very Half Life 2 vibe to it. Kingdom Come 2 I've also heard was really good although I haven't played it yet. Same for Blue Prince heard a lot of good things about it but haven't played it yet. I hear a bunch about Dispatch but that'd fall in the...

    Automata is the one that got a lot of people into Nier and got a lot of success. Hell the IP is still being kept alive just from collabs which are still extremely common for a game released such a long time ago and for most people Automata is the "main" Nier with the previous ones just being...

    Necesse -solo dev indie Terraria style settlement survival builder

    I played it when they released 1.0, made a post in the general news about it, it's a pretty fun game. Nothing too amazing though, it's very copypasted Terraria stuff, the villagers and giving them roles so they do all the annoying shit for you is great and at the end of the game they have a Path...

    Racial gear being tied to the race body itself will limit it yeah but it is otherwise a huge change for glamours.

    V Rising

    Completely fine and if you don't like some of the grind you can just change the "server" stats which is just your world stuff, so you can make it so enemies drop more stuff, you cut more trees, items stack more or merchants are cheaper and so on and that'll speed up any issue you might have.

    Secret of Weepstone - old school RPG

    Gave the demo a try, feels pretty meh. Art is very good, they're going for a D&D campaign kind of storytelling too which I like but the gameplay is tedious. They really want to push the whole D&D aspect so every fucking attack has to be rolled with dices, once for hit/miss and once for...

    Other day I reported a channel cause I clicked on a fairly low streamer to check out a new game, and the chat was entirely bots, like 100 "viewers" and people constantly talking, saying random sentences not related to the stream, either stuff like "ah the weekend, time to chill and discover new...

    Warhammer 40,000: Inquisitor

    Oh wow they backported the Minion accuracy buff from PoE2, minions now always hit. Made sense in PoE2 cause you had no way to scale accuracy almost(and the aura was more shit to use) so didn't expect that in PoE1. It isn't that big of a deal after they buffed minion accuracy like 2years ago but...
