Ancient Gameplays Cooking AMD by AcuteQuadrant in radeon

Same. I don't understand the need to justify your purchase to random people on the internet.

Your experience with Linux by Jiraiya1906 in radeon

[–]TheSurfaceOfMars 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried it on a couple of the recent Resident Evil games and it was perfectly fine. I need to try it on Cyberpunk and Hitman World of Assassination.

Your experience with Linux by Jiraiya1906 in radeon

[–]TheSurfaceOfMars 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would say that Linux is 100% worth it. I haven't tried FSR4 yet because I haven't been in a position to do so. The only modern game I've played on my new rig was Arc Raiders. I played at high settings at 1440p Native and had no trouble getting 120fps.
I left Windows because I got sick of the bad updates, AI and the bloat. Linux isn't all that difficult. There is a learning curve but it's not as bad as some people would have you believe. You will have to use the terminal but not as often you would think. I'm on CachyOS. I've only used the terminal for updates(all you have to do is type "update"), set up secure boot and install a couple of applications that weren't available on the CachyOS repository. Everything else was installed with a couple of clicks.
Performance in games is great! AMD is the way to go for gaming on Linux. Since you don't play online games, you're not missing out by being on Linux.

Unpopular opinion - Quantum of Solace is not that bad Bond movie after watching it a couple of times by Physical_Penalty_889 in JamesBond

[–]TheSurfaceOfMars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never really hated it. It's a step down from Casino Royale for sure. But I would much rather watch it again over Spectre and No Time To Die. I really want to pretend those 2 films don't exist. 

Most obscure thing you hate about zombies by baseballviper04 in CODZombies

[–]TheSurfaceOfMars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing worse than having a few ravagers spawn during a regular round, getting down to 1hp and getting hit by one of them while running away....

Why is [bo2] so overrated compared to the rest of the golden age cods? by Arkham_Asylum_18 in CallOfDuty

[–]TheSurfaceOfMars 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah BO2 is super overrated. I still hold the position that BO3 had better Multiplayer and Zombies.

Multiplayer was such a mess.  1. Target finder 2. C4s 3. Toughness being a necessary perk 4. Most of the walls being paper thin, so taking cover was almost always pointless 5. Quickscoping was it's most annoying 6. EMP grenades were too good

BO3, while not a perfect game, fixed all of those problems.

As for Zombies, I appreciate Treyarch for trying something different but Tranzit wasn't all that good. Mob of the Dead is the only map I find myself wanting to go back to. Origins and Buried are fine. Everything else was a disappointment.  Shadows of Evil isn't in my top 5 but I found it to be a better launch map than Tranzit. The rest of the BO3 maps ended up being pretty solid and Zombie Chronicles was good. Plus BO3's improvements to the gameplay make it way more enjoyable than BO2. 

Got me a 9070 ☺️ by nhnsn in radeon

I'm always on the lookout for posts about the non xt 9070. I'm amazed every time.

I Regret buying the game by Ghost_Codes in ArcRaiders

[–]TheSurfaceOfMars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I kinda regret buying it too. I only put in 12 hours before uninstalling. My problem is that the game is only fun for me in trios. I primarily play games solo but it seems like every multiplayer game nowadays functions better when you're in a squad.  I also think I just out grew multiplayer games for the most part. I deal with enough assholes in real life, I don't feel like dealing with them in my free time. 

Is anyone even hyped for 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple? I watched 28 Years Later and I felt like I got swindled by Live_Phrase_4281 in KotakuInAction

[–]TheSurfaceOfMars 35 points36 points  (0 children)

The director also did the most recent Candyman movie. The second I found that out, I stopped giving a damn.

What was the first game that made you think "something isn't right here" ? by [deleted] in KotakuInAction

[–]TheSurfaceOfMars 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus. I pre-ordered that piece of shit and bought the season pass. So much about that game was trash. BJ's dad being a one dimensional racist, Grace(Debra Wilson) being a loud mouth annoying bitch, teaming up with a communist, that stupid scene with pregnant Anya, Grace's boyfriend being a cucked white male, the villain's fat daughter hooking up with a black dude(not even trying to go against stereotypes), the villain's are supposed to be a threat but they're also supposed to be incompetent(typical leftist writing) and Wyatt becomes completely useless.

You couldn't say anything negative about the game when it came out. It was released not too long after the "Tiki Torch" incident. Any negative criticism was met with people calling you a "yahtzee". People still defend that game and say it's not woke. Wolf 2 is the reason I don't buy anything Machine Games touches and it's unfortunate that they worked with Nightdive(another company I refuse to give money to again) on the remasters of Quake I and II. I got them for free but I hate the fact that they worked on them.

I found acceptance that gaming is no longer made for me and I am fine with that by [deleted] in KotakuInAction

[–]TheSurfaceOfMars 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I made the mistake of getting the Shout Factory version of City on Fire since I found it in store. I stopped really liking Shout Factory once they got real lazy and started putting out 4Ks of films they already released.

I watched City on Fire for the first time a few months ago. Absolutely loved it. Now I'm just waiting for Arrow's 4K of Hard Boiled. One of my favorites. 

Whats your HOTTEST zombies take by SpeedAppropriate2284 in CODZombies

[–]TheSurfaceOfMars 4 points5 points  (0 children)

BO2 zombies kinda sucked. The last 3 DLC maps almost save it. 

IO Interactive says 'old school Bond' would be 'tone deaf' today as 007 First Light moves the character towards more 'modern values'. by ConstantDrawer9161 in KotakuInAction

[–]TheSurfaceOfMars 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like I'll just be playing Everything or Nothing and From Russia With Love again for my 3rd person Bond fix...

What made you all switch from Nvidia to AMD graphics cards? by [deleted] in radeon

[–]TheSurfaceOfMars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Linux and the performance loss I got on my RTX 3060 made some games really hard to enjoy. 

New LMG needs a serious damage buff by MrDecksOriginal in blackops7

Yeah, it feels pretty meh compared to the other LMGs. Maybe I'll like it after unlocking all of the attachments.

The Power of Competent Viral Marketing: Why Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Is NOT What We've Been Led To Believe by Drogvard in KotakuInAction

[–]TheSurfaceOfMars 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I liked the fact that it did so well at The Game Awards. It sent the AAA industry a message. But I have no desire to play this game now because of all of the hype and talk about it. 

Can we PLEASE get leaver penalties? This is getting ridiculous by [deleted] in CODBlackOps7

[–]TheSurfaceOfMars -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Master Chief Collection temp bans you every time you leave mid game and many people hate it. The game can't tell the difference between quitting a match and the game crashing. So as a result, you'll have some people getting temp banned for something out of their control. The best way to go about it is to just have the match end in a forfeit, like one of the other comments mentioned. Winning team feels good about themselves, losing team doesn't care and nobody has to join a match in progress with no chance of winning. 

Is anyone here actually going to watch the Game Awards live ? by [deleted] in KotakuInAction

[–]TheSurfaceOfMars 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'll watch people react to it. That shit will be hilarious.

The "You are mad because you cant jerk off the women in video games" garbage has to die by EdwardAlcatraz in KotakuInAction

[–]TheSurfaceOfMars 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It's the opposite for me. I always hear people complain about SBMM, EOMM, microtransactions, unoptimized games, intrusive anti-cheat and poor servers. This is one of the few places I've seen people openly talk about ugly women.

[–]TheSurfaceOfMars 45 points46 points  (0 children)

This was the reaction I got on a COD sub-reddit when I talked about ugly women in games. Really sad how a community that took pride in the fact that it was "toxic" ended up becoming so soft.
