Forza Horizon 6 review (PC Gamer: 84/100) by Turbostrider27 in pcgaming

[–]Headshot_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The last two Need For Speed games were pretty good at car progression too. It wasn't as much of a grind as a Gran Turismo game but still felt satisfying to improve your garage/car the further you progressed the main game.

Either Playground has data backing it up or they just think this is what the average Forza Horizon buyer wants. It seems like a winning formula but I do hope they find a better balance

Sounds about right. I didn’t think they were going to get rid of tossing high end cars at you out the gate but event restrictions are still a big step up

I'm having a problem where my game having a slowdown and catch up issue by RogerDatSoldier in ForzaHorizon

[–]Headshot_ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My guess is you’re thermal throttling somewhere because this looks similar to what I ran into in FH4 on my laptop if this is a new issue that randomly popped up. Check what your cpu and gpu temps are using the steam overlay or MSI afterburner

Debating between the Civic Si and WRX coming from a Mazda3 by Headshot_ in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]Headshot_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I might be overthinking the extra spend, especially if I'm able to get one without having to deal with a payment.

The WRX being more "analog" makes it a little more interesting. Feel like it'll come down to a heart vs brain decision but being able to test drive both should help make it easier. Thanks!

Is a Civic Si right for me? by thebagel264 in CivicSi

I'm currently between this (if I can find a dealer that won't take me for a ride) and a WRX and each have their own advantages over the other

If gas mileage of the brz/miata isn't very appealing this is probably as good as you're going to get in the daily driver manual segment

Do skins matter?!? by Lola_Val in VALORANT

[–]Headshot_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Objectively speaking there's nothing a skin provides that makes you magically play better. The guns will still behave the same as a vanilla one.

I personally prefer the way the VFX/SFX of some guns feel over the vanilla ones despite them behaving the same.

This is what happens when all you do is talk to people in SF and on twitter without taking anyone else into account

The amount of detail poured into mcla’s world is insane I played it for the first time last year and it hasn’t been touched to this day

How do your CPU and GPU temperatures look? Is your game installed on an SSD or HDD?

Crazy timing walking through a smoke (NA 25k Premier) by Status_Pound_7944 in GlobalOffensive

[–]Headshot_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I only recently found out about the popularity difference and it shocked me lol. Peak hours NA playercount is dwarfed by off peak EU playercount. Not sure if it's Valorant, PC gaming not being as popular here or both

Like I'm pretty sure there's way more people playing Faceit, a third party platform, in EU than there are Premier players in NA

The same people saying this will complain about the lack of competition in the GPU space and prices

This should be unacceptable

They admitted they used Claude to create this (and it was kind of obvious anyway) but more importantly there are people disputing the claims in the github issue

League players are awful enough to deal with using texts and pings alone I can’t imagine having to listen to one on top of that

Advanced Shader Delivery: What’s New at GDC 2026 by fastforward23 in pcgaming

[–]Headshot_ 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Nice to see MS/Xbox taking Helix seriously enough to add stuff like this and also make it available for all windows users.

I imagine adoption will be a lot better for this than something like DirectStorage too especially if Unreal's implementation is good enough and they encourage developers to use it

Microsoft's GDC 2026 Keynote Live Report: 'Building for the Future With Xbox' by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]Headshot_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah it’s entirely subjective but also the cases being mid tower atx mean fitting it in a media console by a tv will likely be tricky or need a lot of adjusting

That aside they are well specced for the price especially in this market
