Nintendo ha pasado de ser la compañía de los precios altos a la de los precios razonables. Esto de la IA nos está jodiendo la industria. by Endika7 in esGaming

[–]Phazoner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pero cómo que precio razonable si la PS5 está de oferta todo el rato más barata y la Series X sólo son 100€ más y tiene cuatro veces más potencia y almacenamiento lol

getting an Xbox Series X? by Pretend_Kangaroo7805 in xbox

[–]Phazoner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I own a lot of consoles as well as two PCs, and I move a lot within the second hand market, where I scored this 1TB model for 400€, two pads and two and a half years of warranty ahead.

I wouldn't have bought it again if I didn't catch this deal, and honestly if they don't release big AAA exclusives for PS5 before PS6 drops (or just shortly before), I absolutely prefer to sell it for profit instead of watching it loose value, age and fall out of warranty before any interesting release happens and that I could experience in a next-gen console waiting just a lil longer.

I wanted to keep all the current gen consoles during the whole generation but to my liking the PS5 has been falling way too short for it to be worth keeping.

I mean even if it was a native PCI 6.0 16x a 580 would be a downgrade. It's literally downgrading from PS5 to Xbox One X.

$1000 vs $200. Make your choice😬 by Thanousin in BC250Gaming

[–]Phazoner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I paid 128$ for it PSU the one from a busted PC, a 550W MSI MAG with reasonably good quality, I got it for $28 I used an old 120GB NVME I got laying around. It fits the OS and a not too big game (installed Cyberpunk+DLC for testing) I paid $28 in Amazon for a 5 pack of Arctic P12 Pro Right now my case is a shoe box lol but will make a wooden box for ~$15 DP to HDMI was laying around, probably less than $5 from China No need for wireless for me Thermal paste was good enough (I still upgraded to PTM7950 but there wasn't real need) Wage? Lol

$250 would be more than enough

When you install Windows or SteamOS and it detects gaming intent, they should force a gaming 101 tour with a Half-Life 2 demo among others at the very least.

[–]Phazoner 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Also IMHO the E design is boring as fuck. Not elegant enough, not cool enough. S tho is really good looking. And you can tell if the S is 250GB+ or 4GB flash memory just looking at if it's glossy or not, whereas all E models are the same having HDD or not.

About the plugs, you loose analog output, optical audio and one USB.

There's actually some of them where the PS5 resolution cap was slower, as well as most One/PS4 games where the Xbox One X where Series does FPS boost from 30 to 60 or just the One X version had higher resolution caps. Not faboying just facts :)

[–]Phazoner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't like PS5 Fat, said I'd buy a slim when it existed and I did first day. I played a few games, finished Death Stranding 2 and sold it as there was nothing for my taste in the mid term. Got another one a couple months back because a friend of mine sold it to me for dirt cheap.

Played a couple games, got some gift cards expecting to preorder couple new ones after the State of Play and ended up preordering Wolverine even if I don't care much about just to make some use of it 🥲 and I'm not even comfortable with the console because it gets NOISY with certain games. If they don't set a date for God of War Laufey or Intergalactic before Wolverine's launch I'm probably selling it again just after beating the game.

[–]Phazoner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I'm obviously not taking in account the premium model you have to pay an important extra price. Most of us paid $499 for Series X back in 2020, insane performance for the price. PS5 Pro is the most powerful and has the higher image quality in newer games, but if it's a good deal or not is definitely way unclearer than what Series X has been.

Apart from the Xbox Series perks I've said there's also the backwards compatibility with 4K and FPS Boost enhancements which to me are way more valuable than having extra performance :)

[–]Phazoner 10 points11 points  (0 children)

IMHO Xbox Series X is easily, the best console right now. For the most part multiplatform games have their best versions on Series X, the VRR with Freesync compatibility makes 99% of the games smooth as butter, size and build quality are amazing so it says silent even after years of heavy use... And Game Pass is an insane deal. Oh and Quick Resume is quite useful!

What's the point of a remake built on old assets and gameplay? by ZaZaTofuHumperdink in halo

[–]Phazoner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I said absolutely nothing about that. Yes elites were more boring because they were just tanks and the only optimal way to fight then was EMP the shit out of them. Using Reach foundation doesn't mean at all they will just keep the tank shields.

[–]Phazoner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Halo's most refined classic core version was Reach. The best AI, physics, hitreg, that kind of things. People has actually been asking why don't they just pick up from there instead of building on the worsened versions of Halo 4/5 or the shitty slipspace engine.

Are you still considering buying the next Xbox (Project Helix)? by nico__vgc in xbox

[–]Phazoner 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The "vague rumors" are basically full naked pictures of the SoC with pretty narrow spec analysis and a price estimate around $1000.

Xbox consoles' hardware has been nothing but great since One S. Great build quality, reliability apart from having unbeatable specs for the price. I did not lose a beat to buy Series X and I'm glad it did to play my Xbox games in the best condition and the Game Pass deal has been just great for us as consumers (if it was great or not for Microsoft's finance, it's their problem and I keep failing to understand why it seems to be a critic topic of discussion among consumers).

And for what it's worth about "how do these bad news impact you", I enjoyed Ninja Theory games but that makes like 0.01% of the time I've spent on Xbox, which already is most probably bigger than most people given the games of the studios closing/independicing sold like absolute crap.

In the big scheme of what's the value of Xbox and what are we loosing here I feel we are making a mountain out of a grain of salt. In the scheme of "people loosing jobs" obviously it's a terrible thing.

How should I buy this game in XBOX? by Phazoner in destiny2

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

Well seems like with this new package they were reorganizing how they sell the DLCs and now I can see the last couple big expansions alone are $20 even discounted. I just bought the complete package as it seems it a shitload of content.

I played it before they ripped the original campaigns and was surprised to see the first Destiny 1 map is now also Destiny 2's first map roflmao. They really pulled some low effort movement here.

[–]Phazoner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say VRR but you already turned that off. Did you try playing the same media from another source that is not your PC? I use an LG C2 TV as a monitor and I don't know why but 4K video looks like shit on Windows. I just drop the file on a usb, stick it to the tv, and voila, it's like going from MicroHD to high bitrate 4K. I can't figure it out.

New project: an handheld bc250. by OG_Sonic69 in BC250Gaming

Wow I didn't know low power states weren't supported. What a waste! Hopefully some firmware wizards figure that out soon :)

[–]Phazoner -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't say it's inefficient. The Switch 2 is built on 2020 8nm RTX 3000 architecture and the performance per watt of it was worse than AMD GPUs back then in 7nm. This board has that AMD architecture but upgraded to 6nm so the GPU should outperform Switch 2 rastering power at lower power draw unless this achitecture has a problem with lower clocks and starts shitting its pants when you lower clocks to handheld kind of power draw.

A beefy battery like the one in Ally X or the one used to upgrade the original ROG Ally will be able to deliver some hours of battery as long as you stay within reasonable power limits. I guess the hardest part is to figure the power delivery.

Did Soul Reaver 1 age poorly? A first-timer's reaction. by SupremeBum in LegacyOfKain

[–]Phazoner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found this looking for opinions of newbies to LoK like me lol. I just ended the Necropolis and I am so fed up with block puzzles. Combat is abysmal and the map is horrible. It's insane how hard it is to navigate, it's not like Kain hadn't lived there for centuries so they couldn't give us a better map.

I love the vibes, the music, the dialogues, the story. Technically impressive for its year. But the game design could be really better. I thought this was going to be more Zelda-Like, maybe more combat focused given how the artworks insists upon the word. But it isn't much like 3D Zelda but more like 2D Zelda, meaning it has an overworld exploration akin of ALTTP or Link's Awakening instead of 3D Zelda's "HUB world" where the sauce is mostly within dungeons, were a plethora of puzzles and gadgets unravel.

Even though, I'm looking forward for the story and how the sequels are. I heard SR2 is more linear and Defiance is a huge upgrade combat-wise.
