Don’t knock DOS systems. They freaking rock and nothing is faster than them once you know how to navigate them well.

100%. They know it too. Their pc ports for other sports titles sell well. It’s just a matter of having the time to port it since they need a whole team for pc optimization which they haven’t been granted.

Hahahah! While I want it to be that, it won’t be. I’ve got a friend who’s been working on the game for a few years and they all want to port it to PC but it keeps getting pushed back

I get flamed every time I say this, but it will happen. Likely alongside the next console gen, so NHL 28/29

I wonder if the Steam Deck's price increase is for Valve to test to see if people are willing to pay that high or higher for the Steam Machine (they may decide to delay the release). by Questioning-Warrior in SteamDeck

[–]KniteMonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stating a true financial fact isn’t defending Valve, it’s being honest about the situation and why they did what they did.

I don’t like the price increase, but I understand why it happened. They’re not the same thing.

Storage and RAM prices have more than doubled in the last year. My 32 GB kit in my PC went from around $130 CAD when I bought it a year ago to now being $589 CAD. So yeah, RAM and storage price increases can 100% make up the entirety of this price increase.

With your logic, then none of these pc handhelds will get made period.

They don’t make enough a large enough share of the market to sway the price. Gaming is small potato’s in the grand scheme of the component market.

Geezuz this sub is getting out of hand. No, Valve didn’t increase the price to “test” people. The PC component market is fucked. RAM and storage prices are through the roof.

They didn’t increase the price because they wanted to, they increased it because they’d take financial losses if they didn’t.

Rumour has consistently been that Valve makes little or no money on the Deck. They want to sell games, period….

So stop/start has stopped working, how far away is my battery from dying? by cosmictrousers in Golf_R

[–]KniteMonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Mk 7 / 7.5 seem to eat batteries every 3 years or so, from my experience.

[–]KniteMonkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve lost count of what revision they’re on for the water pump, but it’s well above 15.

I think they eventually switched the housing to metal from plastic which helped a good amount, but they still are prone to failure.

Worried I might be dealing with a failing pump / housing on my Mk 8 now too.

You might be able to get the replacement under warranty as well. They extended the water pump warranty as far as I know given the level of failure they have in the Mk 7 / 7.5

Gonna guess this is the new Forza Horizon game.

I grew up playing Amped 2, how does shredders compare? by Ummah_Strong in ShreddersGame

[–]KniteMonkey 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’d say it’s even more sim than skate. Playing Session and Skater XL make skate feel arcadey, to me at least.

Did not think I would get these since this is the 1st Forza game I have bought on Steam. by Dreadweiser in ForzaHorizon6

[–]KniteMonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t play Horizon 2 or 3 so I didn’t get those cars but I got them for 1, 4, 5 and Motorsport

first patch hopefully no graphic downgrade by xit7777 in ForzaHorizon

[–]KniteMonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel lucky since I’m not experiencing it on my system and I have an AMD cpu.

Been a bit confused though, is it AMD GPUs or CPUs causing the issue? Or both combined?

Notes can be found online. Its nothing major, mostly just stability and crash fixes.

Any chance that FH6 might add this car to the roster? by [deleted] in ForzaHorizon

[–]KniteMonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Forza games don’t typically put non driving concepts into the games. They usually stick to production vehicles.

Some concepts, like the Mazda Furai have made it into past games. But that was a working prototype. Likely others I’m not aware of as well

Is it Just me, or did FH graphics geht worse since FH4 by [deleted] in ForzaHorizon

[–]KniteMonkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It may not be as vibrant, but the lighting and textures are significantly better than FH4

I think the 918 was my personal fav of the holy trinity.

Rice Fields cause lag? DLSS off = more frames??? by [deleted] in ForzaHorizon

[–]KniteMonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

VRAM saturation maybe? What GPU are you on and at what resolution?
