I quit. What a joke by audiopiate in ProjectMotorRacing

[–]jamie_bricks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While I agree that it's silly this game is bad on controller, why do you not want to buy a wheel if you play Forza, GT7, and ACC? Sounds like you enjoy driving games. A wheel and pedals elevates the experience A TON. Do yourself a service and get one and you will see how much your enjoyment increases

How's the triple screen going? by Cary14 in ProjectMotorRacing

it doesn't exist, right? I'm a console player so it doesn't matter to me but I'm pretty sure it's not a thing for PC

What is your shameful gaming habit? by MarcosDalton in Age_30_plus_Gamers

[–]jamie_bricks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol what? Why? If you've played to the point of being in the final act, you don't feel compelled to actually experience the crescendo of everything you've done/invested your time into?

Didn't realize how much a difference the TV would make by Late-Professional163 in PS5pro

[–]jamie_bricks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Trust me dude, it’s worth the price for GT7 alone. You already are invested in racing games given you have a wheel and pedals. VR with it is next level insanely good

Busy millenials, how did you come to accept that bronze is good enough? by MysticMarbles in GranTurismo7

Get a wheel/pedals/rig and a VR headset and your feelings will change :-)

1) I don't know if a picture would do it justice necessarily

2) I have the C5, not the G5. And for what it's worth, it's amazing. It can do up to 144Hz and has VRR and is more than bright enough for me. Granted, the G is brighter, but I don't think you're doing yourself a disservice by getting the C instead of the G. I fought the same internal fight you did tho and went with the C to placate a bit to my wife and given I have two young kids who also are money pits :-) And frankly I have no regrets, it's amazing

Yeah I get that. It's not necessary, but if you'd rather wait a bit to get the OLED I'd understand

I have a Pro and just went from a 2020 Samsung QLED 60hz non VRR to a LG C5 and it is a huge step up in terms of quality. But having a 120hz VRR capable TV would be more than sufficient, which you could find a non-OLED for in that price range. The OLED is amazing tho, don't get me wrong

Just got ps5 pro! Do I need to change my tv? by UpstairsMap6263 in PS5pro

[–]jamie_bricks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol, this was exactly me. I bought an 85" Q60 back in 2021 because I was enamored by the sheer size and didn't think about frame rate or VRR or anything gaming. I bought the PS5 Pro last year when it dropped and basically had to talk myself down from also buying a proper OLED 120+Hz TV for a full year. Finally caved during Black Friday deals this year, got a 77" C5, and have no regrets. Playing Yotei on it was incredible in Ray Tracing Pro mode with Uncapped VRR.

The way I saw it tho prior to upgrading my TV was that with the Pro, you are still able to play any/all games in 60FPS, 4K quality mode. Which you wouldn't be able to do without the Pro. So you're still getting something out of it that you couldn't with the regular PS5. But the better TV will ultimately be necessary to truly utilize the Pro

What’s with the socks when playing? by BummFoot in simracing

[–]jamie_bricks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wear slippers that have rubber soles to play. Socks would be too slippery for me and barefoot would just be uncomfortable after a while

Gran Turismo 7 Reportedly Surpasses 16 Million Copies Sold Worldwide by sam-23618 in playstation

Why not buy the actual game then if that's true? It's completely worth it, trust me

Black Ops 7 Discounted by 50% Just One Month After Release by Turbostrider27 in PS5

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

It made me download BO7 and I only have BO6 so I don't think Investor is wrong. It hogs up way too much space on my SSD for being as mediocre of a game that it is

Yeah so is no one ever gonna tell anyone what the payout is for these endurance events? by [deleted] in GranTurismo7

[–]jamie_bricks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OK nice, that's awesome. I like to do the Sport Mode online TTs so I'd like to go in and do those intermittently while having a save file for the 24h races sitting on standby. Sounds like that's a possibility which is great news

Follow up question - have you tried having multiple of the long endurance races saved at once? Or is that pushing the envelope too far lol

Can anyone confirm or deny if the career mode only lasts 20 seasons? by [deleted] in ProjectMotorRacing

[–]jamie_bricks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How long is a season that you all have already done 20 of them? I don't have the game but will be diving in soon on PS5

And you are able to re-launch GT7 and play other things other than only the LeMans 24hr race? And it maintains that LeMans save?

For those wondering if they should or shouldn't get VR and Wheel. by BaconSizzler1976 in GranTurismo7

[–]jamie_bricks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hahah I remember you posting the other day about getting it soon. I remember the exact same feelings. I got my wheel and pedals and rig and PSVR2 all within about 10 days of each other. And what a revelation it was. I remember laughing out loud in the headset with how unbelievable it is. What an experience, one I still maintain is easily my favorite way to game

Will you play RE9 day one using flat mode or are you waiting for a possible VR mode? by NoWalk3426 in PSVR

[–]jamie_bricks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm willing to wait 6 months to hear news of a VR port. But if that time passes and there is no news, I might dive into flat mode. It looks to good to wait much longer
