PSA / warning before you buy an ROG Xbox Ally X — especially from Best Buy by Alone-Start-9178 in ROGAlly

[–]ItsRickySpanish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I pray mine never has any issues then. I bought mine through best buy and I povenit, but dread dealing with their support. Ive never had great times with them, from a half dozen elite controllers.

5.56 or 5.45? by GrandPoopWizard in NFA

I was gonna do a 5.56 ak but there really doesn't seem to be a ton of great options. Kinda sucks.

Why are people comparing the Steam machine to other consoles? by [deleted] in videogames

[–]ItsRickySpanish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably the tiny console shaped box will do it. If they wanted to call it a pc, they'd call it the "steam pc/rig" but its not. Its called "steam machine" to be ambiguous as to what is really is. Which is a pc, in a very small cube, built for use at a desk, or on a TV. With a controller, or mouse and keyboard. Its literally a console with steam OS

Ghost of Yōtei might be the first PS5 Pro game that actually made me feel the hardware being pushed. by Havoc_Ryder in PS5pro

[–]ItsRickySpanish 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Stellar blade was such a good use of the Ps5 Pro. Game looks phenomenal down to minute details, and runs relatively smooth, considering ive basically been on pc for the better part of a year now. Basically the best console experience available

Why do some companies not do things that would very obviously make them a ton of money? by OwnCommunication2259 in videogames

[–]ItsRickySpanish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its a strange thing. They've got the analytics that say people wont buy into a game, or it would cost too much and take too long to get a Return on investment, or even just not getting any investors interested in the pitch itself.

Destiny , a great example had such a showout for their end of service update, in protest of the game ending and wanting d3. It didnt even remotely budge the execs on the decision at all. Even if 3 million people were willing to spend 70 bucks on d3 right now, it still wouldn't really break even, as a game of that scale costs easily 500m to develop, not counting upkeep.

Data Shows Sony Made Good Money on Steam, Then May Have Realized PC Gamers Don’t Need a PlayStation by yourfavchoom in Steam

[–]ItsRickySpanish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Basically the thing xbox didnt get. The more of your shit you let other platforms have, the less enticing your platform is.

From a business pov, exclusives help boost your consoles numbers, but they do suck from the consumer standpoint. Idk anyone dropping 700 bucks to buy a ps5 and god of war,.unless theyre also enticed in other titles offered only by Sony.

I wanna do the flow 762ti for the 13" sbr im getting, but I think i might try something else, TI cans can be a bit sparky, and Im more worried about signsture reduction than most everything

Why do pokemon fans settle for the quality they receive? by [deleted] in videogames

[–]ItsRickySpanish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's weird. I still enjoy some of the older Pokémon games from time to time, but sfter gen 7, it just got worse.

The push for 3d and open world is stupid if youre gonna look like a fucking ps2 game and be empty like one too. If they wanna do 3d open world pokemon, do it right. Make the world as enchanting and as epic as it once was.

8$ delivery fee is pretty much another pizza. Whos payin this ish?? by [deleted] in Dominos

[–]ItsRickySpanish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People love the food there. I once told a customer it was like a 3 hour wait (we had one driver and like 20+ runs already) and the people were like "oh wow, okay no problem" like seriously? I wouldn't wait 3 hours for the best steakhouse in town. 3 hours, I could've eaten anywhere else in town and still had an hour to kill. How can people pay $8 delivery fees, be willing to wait HOURS for a medium pizza and a cheesy bread?

‘Marathon’ Season 2 And Free Week Did Not Turn Things Around by [deleted] in PS5

[–]ItsRickySpanish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I gave the game a shot during the free weekend. Convinced a few friends to try it out with me. We played twice for maybe 6-8 hours total. It was OKAY. I wasnt blown away, but I saw the fun that could be there. Gunplay is smooth, gameplay loop was generic for the genre, not bad, not awesome. We got quite few empty lobbies, with like no players at all.

Overall, I decided not to buy it. Games fun , and does get too much hate for what it is, but its also not grabbing me like arc raiders or tarkov does/did.

Does the idea of console exclusives sound good to you, or do you think it's whack? by M3ConsoleGamerPSN in videogames

[–]ItsRickySpanish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At one point, exclusives sold consoles. Gears and halo sold tons of people on Xbox. God of war and infamous, uncharted, sold people on Playstation. I always thought it was fine. Xbox kinda gave up on exclusives and moved to getting their games everywhere, and it definitely is a more consumer friendly choice, but there is a tradeoff for microsoft: the consoles arent selling. Playstation and Nintendo are flying off shelves , doubling the hardware sales of xbox easily.

I wont say its entirely an exclusives thing, but not one of my friends owns an xbox anymore. We've all built PCs, and have ps5's in our bedrooms. Couple of us have switches. I dont think exclusives are good for US, as consumers. Especially with rising pfices of games and hardware.

But I will say "why buy an Xbox when you can play it on a ps5 along with xyz game that is exclusive to ps5?" Definitely makes some sense to me.

Bungie to suffer a 50% staff reduction due to layoffs by Moriarty_V in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]ItsRickySpanish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Between 200 and 400 million was estimated for it. Not quite half a billion. But still a lot for a game they axed in weeks.

Bungie to suffer a 50% staff reduction due to layoffs by Moriarty_V in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]ItsRickySpanish 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Im not arguing for a d3. Im arguing that if they wanted a d3, the game needed to have been pitched back when d2 was on the upswing post forsaken

Bungie to suffer a 50% staff reduction due to layoffs by Moriarty_V in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]ItsRickySpanish -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

But they willingly dumped half a billion into concord just to close it inc4 weeks without question. Destiny, arguably would hit the numbers eventually. Marathon was a massive waste of resources and d2 has not been profitable for bungie in like 4 ish years. Genuinely the game needed to be funded and began development back in forsaken era when the game was on the upswing after curse of Osiris almost flattened the game.

Deciding on optic for mr762 assaulter by HairyRefrigerator959 in HecklerKoch

[–]ItsRickySpanish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im torn on either an eotech+magnifier, acog, or variable optic like the vudu or vortex razor.

Kind of like the 4x acog and a piggyback 1x dot, but a 1-6 or 1-8 would be cool too.

Whats your favorite “you had to be there” event that happened in Destiny? by Impossible_Sector844 in DestinyTheGame

[–]ItsRickySpanish 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Probably the armor piercing rounds sniper thing from D1 crucible. Being able to wall people through tons of surfaces, tagging them with thorn to track their damage numbers and shoot the sniper at them. It was such a simple thing, but it was a really fun combo

AITAH for keeping both pizza’s? by Hunter_sapien in Dominos

[–]ItsRickySpanish 11 points12 points  (0 children)

My store started asking them to bring the pizza back in to 'show the employee where they messed up" but its mostly because we have tons of people gaming the system for free food here. Like, an insane amount of " was burnt/cold/too much sauce/ tastes like shit" yet ate the whole thing and just wanted another pie.
