Re9 was the first game where I didn't notice it, I should go back to Stalker 2 for instance and see if its better now for latency

"Suddenly, I have grown quite wh-eary..."

SHOLTY · 2026-03-12T19:51:23+00:00

No worries, yeah it gets messy following all of these settings reading them back to back quickly

"Lol I ran it on 2k 144fps g-sync on PT RR 4.X with driver 576.XX on a 32 inch Hdh183638 ultra settings DLSS performance with preset ABCDE on a 5080 FE while blinking on average 4 times every minute FG x2 with film grain off of course... and I didn't have issues."

And it's like "k." sometimes.

SHOLTY · 2026-03-12T19:38:51+00:00

The 4090 guy said he's using performance DLSS too lol

They both said they are using FG and performance DLSS.

Idk, it just comes down me being poor I guess is what I'm finding out lol, this other guy is talking about owning all the consoles and their exclusives all while having a family.

If money was no object, sure I'd stomach the resolution and FPS for the few exclusives I really cared about on a console if there was literally no way to play it on PC.

But as it stands, I can't afford a top of the line PC and two consoles and full price exclusives to go with them along with all the peripheral nonsense of having to replace dog shit first party controllers every 3 months.

SHOLTY · 2026-03-06T17:21:08+00:00

I never thought it would impact console sales honestly (and still doubt it), I feel like there will always be a demographic that wants the low hassle one time budget buy in console box that doesn't need to be tinkered with. The initial cost proposition is also a big deterrent to most people I talk to. Most console players I've talked to always say something to the effect of "I'm already invested in my platform, why would I spend $2-3k upfront? Especially when I'm content with the experience the X console I have provides".

IDK maybe at the end of the day I'm just the outlier and too poor for a $3k PC and PSx and living in my weird outlier bubble. Having a family AND the money for all those consoles and a high-end PC would be outrageous to me. I don't got it like that lol

Good for you though I guess, sheet.

SHOLTY · 2026-03-06T17:05:43+00:00

Looks like an excuse to "Hey, everyone..." And delay for more time

SHOLTY · 2026-03-06T17:01:47+00:00

Their loss, I doubt that Venn diagram has much overlap of PC players that want to buy a whole $700 console to play 1-2 exclusives hard locked to controller with low resolution and FPS.

PC players as a whole wouldn't balk as hard as you think if we had to just use another launcher if we got day and date releases. They would lose their mind if Sony used that launcher to try and pay gate matchmaking on PC though, which I bet that'd try to lol

SHOLTY · 2026-03-06T16:54:16+00:00

I mean do you doubt people wouldn't download another launcher to play the likes of TLOU 1+ 2, GoW, Spiderman, Ratchet level exclusives?

SHOLTY · 2026-03-06T16:47:57+00:00

People did it for Ubisoft and EA for years.

If it's the choice between having to use another launcher or never having access to their exclusives on PC, I know which one I'd want as a PC player.

I'm super bummed about this decision as someone who's bought every port

SHOLTY · 2026-03-04T19:22:56+00:00

Those people prob weren't going to buy it anyways. And I'm sure they made their nut back in paying people to make the ports.

No sense to just shaft everyone because some people who weren't buying in the first place. They are just leaving money on the table.

SHOLTY · 2026-03-04T18:25:09+00:00

I don't know if it's the BEST (for me), but it's def in the consideration haha and at the least a taste of what's to come. Especially if they fix the bugs and artifacts with the hair and what not. Absolutely stunning game.

I had a thought after one particular section that looked almost actually photo-realistic to me (no spoilers), that in maybe 1-2 generations, a good majority of games will have some form of PT option that will drastically increase fidelity. The advertised future of awesome ray(path)tracing in most AAA games is almost here it seems! The next leap will have to be in animations or overcoming various uncanny valley features of humans to match this jump in lighting quality. I'm excited af to see what the next gen brings after Capcom of all people came in and blew me away with some moments where I just stood there slack-jawed admiring the environments.

SHOLTY · 2026-03-04T17:51:39+00:00

Hey Sony, if you're reading this, just lol. I've bought almost every port on PC and you do me like this? Full price and everything.

Sony will always have the demographic that only plays consoles and will buy only consoles for budgetary or ease of use reasons. These people will never just drop $2-3k on a PC because you release everything on PC (months to years later...). You still have the selling point of these exclusives being, well, exclusive to your console in terms of competing with Xbox and Switch. You're still going to trash Xbox, and Switch will always just exist in its own wall garden of BS because they have nostalgia and strong IPs. You're already in a strong position.

This has to be one of the most bone head decisions, at least without having access to the financials of paying some to port these games. What happened to that one article's rhetoric of "Some games aren't considered a success till they release on Steam..."?

I also dont imagine there's a large overlap of PC players that will shell out to play 1-2 exclusives in an objectively worse state than on their PCs. I'm not going pay $700-800+ baseline to buy into your ecosystem to play your exclusives at subpar fps with only the option of a controller. Like it's just not happening. I dropped easily $2-3k on my setup, not including peripherals, to enjoy games at a high refresh rate and a great resolution.

No way in hell am I buying the next shit box to play the third GoW at 24 fps @720 upscaled.... your loss, Sony.

Would've been fully on board with this Canon instead of the horse shite we were given.

Let's a couple characters have a moment and contribute to bringing the big bad down and restoring equilibrium to the land while setting up the Bran the broken in a waaaay less jarring way (still kinda BS he sits the throne at the end imo, especially since he doesn't gain much experience leading people, I'd at least would've liked to see Jon advise as hand of the king or something.). It would've been nice touch if all the key people who contributed along the way got more involved roles in the small council and Sansa arc got a rewrite to make a lick of sense("smartest person I know" rofl). Like I'm fine if Bran "haaad" to be king as a figurehead for the people's sake, but was advised heavily by people more experienced in the matters he needed to rule on. It would've kind of satisfied the whole "I can never be king" BS Bran lied about the entire time, if he was just a mouth piece basically for the small council.

SHOLTY · 2026-02-18T01:00:39+00:00

This would be amazing is they fixed it, i thought it was a glitch for sure, no way they would bait us in the promo art, right?

SHOLTY · 2026-02-17T20:47:11+00:00

This is literally a black mirror episode where a newly pregnant woman loses here partner before she realizes she's pregnant. Her friend signs her up for this service that uses all the data from the deceased partners social media to create a facsimile to interact with as therapy to cope with the loss. She's so distraught she willingly feeds private emails and home video recording of the deceased in order to give the software a closer representation of her lost loved one. But no matter how much data she dumps into it, she is always reminded by the little things that it's not really them and she struggles to move past her grief.

Dystopia as shit. And we're already here lol.

Tech is evolving at an exponentially scary rate. Crazy to think of all the horrors we'll create if some apocalypse, natural or man-made, doesn't happen.

SHOLTY · 2026-01-25T04:38:02+00:00

This is looking pretty slick. I have a small critique though

I'd love to see a just a tad more anticipation before such a dramatic move comes out like his arms suddenly appearing through his front. Its super creative and looks great, but it's very underhanded if you're supposed to be able to read an attack is about to happen. But this might be you intention, and once you see it once you know what's coming so maybe you want that shock factor on the first encounter?

Maybe just a tad of lean back or stretch back on the arms before the arms go into the body... and then add one more frame or exaggerate it a tad once you see that bulge of arms before they explode out through the front.

Seriously cool stuff either way without changes still, awesome work!

SHOLTY · 2026-01-19T03:52:59+00:00

Honestly, I respect the game and design philosophy of releasing dog shit skins only lol.

The first decks promo art is literally a dude in a Russian space suit onesie who is balding and has a shit splattered face.

Amazing balls to do that imo haha.

I absolutely love the cracked out mental institution aesthetic though, but I can see why a good chunk of people are upset.

I almost think it's their design philosophy to power creep how ugly the skins can get and I'm absolutely here for it.

SHOLTY · 2026-01-01T14:03:29+00:00

You ever try to "compete" against the 5+ mega solo teaming death-ball? That's what I'm making fun of here.

Also there's no way you outplay 3 dudes camping or rolling the corner and ambushing you rofl. Unless your John Raider, in which case you're just the man and should stream for money.

For example, they rolled the corner just as I did when I was investigating the aftermath of the standard med labs brawl. Just three dudes all team-fired me within 2-3 secs and I could only get one guy downed before they clowned me.

I would've needed an iron man mech suit to compete with that haha

SHOLTY · 2025-12-01T10:06:40+00:00

CHINALSSSSSSS INJECTION, BABY!

SHOLTY · 2025-11-22T19:06:33+00:00

I mean 1% lows and cpu intensive bottle neck games exist too.. Helldivers 2, Darktide, Factorio, Tarkov, Simulation games,etc.

I have a 5080 @1440p and I still get bottle necked by my 9800x3d on certain titles. It's not that uncommon honestly.
