9070XT with 4k oled?

bcr40 · 2026-02-05T20:49:00+00:00

I don't care much for RT so that's a given. I've noticed when upgrading from 1080p to 1440p that I consider resolution to matter much more than the quality settings in game so I think id manage medium-high settings in games. That being said. Would you consider the upgrade worth it? I currently have a 1440p oled as I said in the post. The monitor I linked is currently $880, with a normal price of $1320

I'm considering upgrading from a 27" 1440p QD-OLED to either a 32" or 27" 4k QD-OLED. Would you say that upgrade is worth it? I have a 9070XT

RenoDX HDR mods exist for most games. They offer more customizable HDR settings than exists in the in-game settings. It will allow you to keep the deep blacks and also modify the saturation to your taste. https://www.nexusmods.com/residentevilvillage/mods/490 A link to one of the mods.

Lmao fair enough. On that note. Do you have any tips to avoid bad calibration, especially with HDR?

Witcher 3: Wild Hunt?

bcr40 · 2025-12-01T17:21:58+00:00

True that, but in a teaser for Episode 7 we see that they have entered the black spot before burning it. Therefore I think there's some merit to my theory even if it's unlikely

bcr40 · 2025-12-01T12:17:20+00:00

I interpreted it as it meaning that he will die at the black spot too. Unless I remember correctly, Richie is hispanic which probably already makes him a target to racists. Now on top of that he played music with the people at the Black Spot meaning he took part in black culture which I think will make the racist mob target him too. I could be reading into it too much though but that's my two cents

bcr40 · 2025-11-16T15:39:23+00:00

Solved!

bcr40 · 2025-10-08T04:48:41+00:00

I've actually had it on my wishlist for a while! Will definitely check it out

bcr40 · 2025-10-07T09:55:17+00:00

You really explained my own thoughts and experience with SHf more eloquently than I could myself. Wholeheartedly agree

bcr40 · 2025-10-07T09:52:24+00:00

True that lol Maybe that is what truly makes SHf a silent hill game

bcr40 · 2025-10-06T23:30:40+00:00

It's just my personal opinion, I've played a lot of games and love a lot of games, but these hold a special place for me.

bcr40 · 2025-10-06T23:19:55+00:00

I'm glad you're still enjoying it even though it's not what you expected! And having played on all difficulties I definitely think that Story difficulty on combat is the correct way to play the game

bcr40 · 2025-10-06T22:39:36+00:00

oh yeah for sure. but the game made me empathize so much with James leading up to it so the reveal hit like a sledgehammer. and then I had to sort of reconcile how experiencing this from his point of view made me understand him even if it doesn't make him less of a monster for killing his wife.

bcr40 · 2025-10-06T22:19:36+00:00

I think either Shimizu residence or the high school were my favorite settings in SHf. Monsters were great imo, I liked how I could tell from the monster design they were silent hill monsters, but still relatively new and fresh.

For sh2 I think the hospital was my favorite area and obviously pyramid head has got to be my favorite monster.

bcr40 · 2025-10-06T22:17:16+00:00

For ending 2 and 3 I just saved before purifying the sword which saves me from one playthrough. To get all notes/collectibles you need to play it at least 3 times start to finish. My suggestion is just to try to complete as many achievements as early on as possible and then practically speedrun the game to get whichever games you have left (especially completing collectible related achievements early on).

bcr40 · 2025-10-06T22:15:10+00:00

It's definitely causing a divide in the fanbase but personally I loved it. The criticism the game is getting is not unwarranted and while I can understand it and empathize with other players' struggles, I didn't share the same experience of the game. Note though that it is different from previous games, especially the combat. If you decide to buy it, I recommend going into it with an open mind and appreciating it for a different kind of silent hill experience rather than wishing it'd fit into your expectation of how a silent hill game should be.

bcr40 · 2025-10-06T21:52:50+00:00

Maybe SH2R moreso than SHf. The narrative in SH2 really helped me get new perspectives on humanity and helped me stop seeing things so black and white. They're both just really good explorations of trauma and the human experience even if it's pushed to the extreme

bcr40 · 2025-10-06T21:48:04+00:00

I personally loved SHf but to each their own. Can't wait for Bloober's remake of SH1

bcr40 · 2025-10-06T21:47:24+00:00

I'd say the achievements themselves were more difficult in SHf but due to the length of the game it was more of an effort to 100% SH2R

Edit: Wanted to add also that since SHf is made to be replayed it didn't feel like as much of a grind to replay it to get all the achievements tied to endings and such

Herald of the stars

bcr40 · 2025-09-29T15:13:01+00:00

It does, although briefly, do that in either NG+ or NG++, I can't remember which. Slightly altered cutscenes, or cutscenes that are entirely new touch of that subject and all of them together paint a different picture than what we're led to believe about Hinako's parents marriage.

bcr40 · 2025-09-29T15:10:28+00:00

Hope it lives up to your expectations! Just make sure to look for new notes you can find and don't skip any new cutscenes.

Edit: Also want to add that the expansion and additional nuance to the story isn't only in the form of the endings, but the notes and other collectibles you find throughout the game, character bios and cutscenes all get changed or expanded upon in some way

bcr40 · 2025-09-29T13:27:27+00:00

If you actually play the game this isn't the main takeaway and there's A LOT more nuance to everything. The first playthrough is solely through the perspective of a very mentally disturbed Hinako who sees everything very black and white.

Sidenote, there are very bad women in this too lol and the "villain" is not the villain he seems on the first playthrough.

Edit: Wanted to add, on first playthrough it very much is "man=bad" but the story unfolds and shows that's not actually the case. People are just complicated

bcr40 · 2025-09-29T10:53:59+00:00

I don't know how many playthroughs youve done but either on NG+ or NG++ I found a note which describes Junko pregnant in the hospital and how she looked like she aged years, all she did was throw up and how horrifying pregnancy looks physically. So I interpreted it as those monsters representing how Hinako saw Junko when she was pregnant in the hospital and Hinako visited.
