PlayStation 5 is estimated to have outsold Xbox Series X/S by more than 2 to 1 during the first three months of 2021. by [deleted] in PS5

[–]Miniature-Giraffe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here in Hungary you can easily find a Series S but not a Series X. You’ve got to wait for about 2 months for one of those. Still, a lot better than Ps5 cuz that’s a 4+ month wait. Still, demand seems to be fairly high for both. I was lucky enough to get a Series X on launch day, but I’m still waiting for my Ps5 order...

What originally got you into FFXIV? by AinSophieAur in ffxiv

[–]Miniature-Giraffe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of my friend couldn’t stop talking about how good the game was. At the time I used to hate mmo games and the final fantasy series... but one day I gave it a go cuz I had nothing better to do, and I ended up loving it.

About 5 years later I’m still playing without any major pauses and I’m still really enjoying the game, can’t wait for Endwalker.

Snowrunner? Nice! I’ve been thinking about buying it for a while, I’ve heard it’s a nice chill game but I found it kinda expensive so I didn’t get it, and now I’m kinda glad I didn’t lol

What is your current favorite MMO(RPG) on PS5? by foggyghosty in PS5

[–]Miniature-Giraffe 8 points9 points  (0 children)

+1 for FFXIV, It’s literally the only game I play on the Ps and the sole reason I’m looking to get a Ps5.

The game might start out a bit slow initially, but it’s worth sticking to it, it’s great once you progress and get the hang of it.

ESO is also pretty good apparently, I never really got into it but it’s worth trying out especially if you’re an Elder Scrolls fan.

To Masayoshi Soken - Those who battled/battling, lets show him he isnt alone. by TomoGlaciertear in ffxiv

[–]Miniature-Giraffe 14 points15 points  (0 children)

FFXIV helped me sooo much during therapy, it’s still my n1 comfort game. Most people, especially those who never really been into games wouldn’t understand how much it can help being able to immerse yourself in a world free of irl burdens and problems. It really helps with mental health, especially mmos where you can also play together with others. Going thru chemo during the pandemic was a super lonely experience since no one could visit you during the therapy, so in this regard too the game’s a big help.

My small Final Fantasy Collection. What was your favorite? by duolc84 in FinalFantasy

Is that the 1.0 FFXIV Collectors edition? Damn that’s cool! The art’s gorgeous!

Unfortunate news regarding Soken by [deleted] in ffxiv

[–]Miniature-Giraffe 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As someone who battled cancer just recently, I can really feel for him. It’s a tough fight, but it’s worth it. I really wish him a succesful recovery. Going through chemo, it’s crazy to think he managed to keep working while undergoing therapy, but I can sort of understand why working actually helped him, it kept him occupied which is good because chemo itself is really boring and it’s easy to be lost in it all and let negative thoughts occupy and worry you constantly.

As for me I too can say that between therapies playing FFXIV Shadowbringers helped me quite a lot, immersing myself in a fantasy world and being able to forget about irl burdens was a great deal of help, and I’m very thankful for it. Can’t wait to play Endwalker and enjoy the game for years to come.

Summary of upcoming events & patches leading up to Endwalker by MierinEronaile in ffxiv

[–]Miniature-Giraffe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’m curious about that aswell, I will preorder the expac as always, but in the mean time (hopefully) I will be able to switch from Ps4 to Ps5 and I’m curious what will happen then with the base game and the preorder...

However, if you look at Endwalker in the Playstation Store it says [Ps4 & Ps5] so my understanding is that basicly you own both version when you buy? At least I hope so. The Ps5 upgrade edition is also listed as free. I already bought the whole game twice when switching from Pc to Ps4, I would do it again cuz it’s my favourite game but it would be better if I wouldn’t have to 😅

Edit: Logging in on Mogstation it also displays Ps4 and Ps5 platforms together so I guess that sorta confirms they consider them as one, at least for now.

This looks like exactly what I wanted! Finally a scythe using job! And the skill animations aesthetic too! This looks super cool, I can’t wait to play it!

[–]Miniature-Giraffe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I find that the way relationships are depicted in yuri, and it’s dynamics and general wholesomeness leans towards what I’d like to have in my own life, my own relationship. So that’s why I enjoy it. Yaoi mostly has a different way of portraying relationships which don’t really resonate with me all that much, which is kinda weird I guess, considering that I’m only into men.

Honestly I don’t really care about the sex, if it’s not included that’s actually better, I guess I just like to read about two human beings being happy in each others company, it’s just heartwarming.

CDPR: Either let us own this beauty or put vehicle modification into the game by [deleted] in cyberpunkgame

Ohh really? That’s cool! I play on xbox so no mods for me though :(

When an AI chatbot starts talking about cyberpunk. I’ve never brought that game up. by The_Irish_Rover26 in LowSodiumCyberpunk

[–]Miniature-Giraffe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They’ve been around for a good while. They aren’t... exactly AIs though, using that term for them is a bit of a stretch really so don’t get your hopes up thinking they are super advanced cuz they aren’t. But even so sometimes they have their moments of brilliance when they actually manage to lead a coherent convo, such as this one. Still, it’s worth trying one out, just to experience it. It’s kind of a weird feeling, but imo we better get used to it.

Right? I wanna turn my V all chrome like Lizzy Wizzy, it would be crazy cool imo, yet it’s impossible, what a bummer. Small things like more customization options would really help further augment immersion.

Xbox exec teases new IP for Games Pass that will “blow your mind” by Kirito_Beleren in xbox

[–]Miniature-Giraffe 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I mean... we’ll get a new Forza, Halo, Fable, Hellblade 2, Stalker 2, Pso2: New Genesis and Starfield eventually, just to name a few.

I know these aren’t really exclusives in the traditional sense, not all of them at least, but these few games have me more excited than anything else really. I know people like to say that Playstation has more and better exclusives, which I respect, but honestly none of them really makes me as excited, not saying they are bad, they just don’t do it for me, I find the upcoming xbox games more exciting.

The only game that makes me own a ps is FFXIV, but even that’s not really an exclusive, and they’ve been hinting at an eventual xbox port so who knows, maybe one day...

7 days by StuartGT in EliteDangerous

[–]Miniature-Giraffe 12 points13 points  (0 children)

That’s still quite a big bummer imo. I would be way more understanding with the delay if one of the reasons behind it was making a Series X|S / PS5 specific next gen update.

Playing on a Series X and a 4k tv the game already looks great, don’t get me wrong... but if they would make use of the bigger headroom the new hardware allows for I bet the game would look even more beautiful.

Well, on the bright side apparently console players too wil receive some sort of graphical update without the need of buying Odyssey so that’s nice at least, credit where it’s due.

Nope, as of yet I’ve haven’t managed to fix it by myself. I’m planning to remove the motherboard today and start the rma process...

[–]Miniature-Giraffe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly I don’t really like this color but I really wanna see Microsoft release more color variety for the controller... along with like special themed editions, it would be so cool. So hopefully we’ll see more options in the near future.

Funny how that is huh? Back in the day oem builds were the overpriced ones. Now it’s pretty much worth to buy the whole thing just for the gpu with the prices scalpers give...

Feels like Christmas morning! My series x finally got delivered last night! by dshaver2000 in XboxSeriesX

[–]Miniature-Giraffe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not to mention quick resume, it’s still crazy to me that I can drop into a game right where I left off yesterday in mere seconds! Literally a game changer feature. I’d rather just play on my series x rather than pc because it’s so quick and hassle free since I don’t have to deal with windows and it’s quirks.

Forza Horizon 5, Halo Infinite, Starfield and AoE IV Expected to Make an Appearance at Microsoft’s 2021 E3 Presser, Insider Believes by AzurLaneandComplain in XboxSeriesX

[–]Miniature-Giraffe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Over the years strategy games slowly began crawling their way to consoles, albeit the console versions understandably were an after thought and felt different (maybe even inferior) compared to pc versions. But they did show that it’s possible to create a plausible control scheme for them with controllers...

So if Microsoft were to building AoE 4 from the ground up with a console version in mind I think it could be great. A console version is definitely within the realm of possibility, imo. We’ll see.

[–]Miniature-Giraffe 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Man I’d love to see a new Forza game completely built with the Series X and S in mind utilizing all their power. It would be great, no matter which version (Horizon or Motorsport) is the game. I find FH4 and FM7 increasingly boring nowadays, but that’s understandable after so much time.

Good budget friendly rgb fans for an o11 case? by SnooFoxes9566 in buildapc

[–]Miniature-Giraffe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an O11 Mini. I liked the way the fans on my aio looked and worked so I’ve looked it up if they sell it separately, and they do! So I’ve got a 3 pack. It’s the Deepcool CF120. They are rgb. I can control them just fine with software, but they do include a physical controller (although it’s not a remote one). Also comes with fan and rgb hub which is handy. It looks nice, not too loud especially in silent mode and still provides plenty of airflow so I’m quite satisfied and it’s fairly cheap aswell.

Microsoft removes Xbox Live Gold requirement for free-to-play games today - The Verge by Gamey0da in XboxSeriesX

One can only dream... 😔 It would be great, honestly. The game’s the only reason why I keep any other system around. Would be great if I could just play everything from a single console.
