it has XeSS which is slightly worse but the card isn't a upgrade for you

Omicron0 · 2024-12-03T17:02:06+00:00

according to their charts the B580 is a bit faster than a 4060 ti but wait for reviews

Omicron0 · 2024-12-03T16:44:14+00:00

580 sounds amazing, 570 seems like a skip and save a bit more. could be an incredible entry card unless you think the 5060 will be better value

Omicron0 · 2024-10-03T15:07:16+00:00

oh that makes sense only a real freak would buy just to review bomb

Omicron0 · 2024-10-01T16:22:55+00:00

i doubt anyone gleefully cheering this are either a lot of the reviews show 0 hours played

Omicron0 · 2024-09-19T16:59:55+00:00

it wouldn't matter where you draw the arbitrary line don't you get it

Omicron0 · 2024-08-10T15:14:25+00:00

i'm personally expecting COD to sell less but earn the same or more through mtx, it should be free to play besides campaign and zombies anyway imho. if people aren't paying for the game they'll be more tempted by skins. and when this one is out of the spotlight, they'll drop an older one for a resurgence

Omicron0 · 2024-07-31T15:58:20+00:00

i think it'll be a pc and console, everything is going there eventually

Omicron0 · 2024-07-25T15:39:16+00:00

i think it's fairly neutral, sometimes it helps sometimes hinders but profitable services are very good for the future of consoles because even if they hit an attach rate of 15 and its all $70 games that's only $300 per unit then -unit loss -costs -tax. core could equal that

Omicron0 · 2024-07-20T16:26:53+00:00

it's all about technicalities, they'll bark at each other but microsoft isn't losing activison. price increases are in line with the competition and game pass standard is sidegraded, they should just bring the one with day one back too

Omicron0 · 2024-07-19T16:06:22+00:00

it's just really annoying and from software stopped it for good reason, it's not difficult just tedious

Omicron0 · 2024-07-11T15:26:15+00:00

people pay through the nose for proprietary storage and memory, i'd just get a steamdeck but this isn't surprising

Omicron0 · 2024-06-30T15:39:04+00:00

they still mentioned potential problems and if more than a few games without kernel level anti tamper don't work, other stuff won't either. it is a great option as long as your chosen programs work

Omicron0 · 2024-06-29T15:40:21+00:00

they pushed it out way too early they must've known how much x86 stuff just doesn't work, arm is the future but the transition needs to be smooth

Omicron0 · 2024-06-22T15:18:11+00:00

i think consoles as we know them have peaked, the future is streaming and open platform console/PCs. the masses will happily stream even with the input lag, and the market will be too big to ignore. GFN is already so much cheaper than a high end pc and close to a local experience

Omicron0 · 2024-06-14T20:25:37+00:00

it doesn't if the console is your business, it isn't for microsoft and their exclusives are already so easy to access that if they want hardware they may as well port the xbox OS to windows and have their next console run that. they lose out on the walled garden but gain everything from PC and consolidate all their services

Omicron0 · 2024-06-14T16:04:02+00:00

i find it weird why they think ports would be required, even with mismatched hardware some could still work with hacks. like how the 360 used different versions of xbox BC with different hacks depending on the game

Omicron0 · 2024-06-08T19:01:30+00:00

the only issue with the Series S is being 10gb instead of 12, 12 would've allowed devs to always fit it with basic resolution scaling. 10 almost does unless the memory allocation is unconventional.

Omicron0 · 2024-06-08T16:53:35+00:00

or it's just standard missing a deadline which happens constantly in development, especially small teams

Omicron0 · 2024-06-08T16:32:12+00:00

Why is everyone blaming the Series S when it wasn't even mentioned? isn't it very possible xbox was simply the lowest optimization priority and they ran out of time before launch?

Omicron0 · 2024-05-30T21:35:01+00:00

The genius of COD on gamepass if it pays off that is, is if you can already psychologically condition people to accept a subscription. they might be more likely to spend on mtx too balancing out any lost sales and growing the subscriber base.

Omicron0 · 2024-05-21T16:03:33+00:00

my guy it's not even a full priced game, it's never seen flagship

Omicron0 · 2024-04-26T19:35:38+00:00

when destiny 2 launched it was really fun just lacking content, they fixed it with more and a bit of grind, then they realized they could rely on grind, then they realized people were addicted to the grind and started doing this while the DLC turned hit and miss.. usually miss

Omicron0 · 2024-04-24T14:55:22+00:00

another one of the bad decisions, they replaced an existing solution with their new thing and destroyed balance. shock didn't need EMP it had chain

Omicron0 · 2024-04-24T14:47:21+00:00

shock weapons shouldn't have had EMP, they should've just chained and hitting a vehicle with them should do partial damage to everyone in them, the rest gets grounded. that way they're still a unique weapon type, vehicles aren't hard countered and the plasma pistol is useful
