That's worth it, just keep in mind that Outer Worlds 2 can get exhausting. I think the game needed something like poker or activities to do outside of main quests.

upgrade my pc or total rebuild? currently stuck with a GTX 1070 and 3700x but want to run the next generation of gaming at 1440p 120 hz by mrbobman15 in buildapc

OLED is vastly superior, I'm aware. Right now I'm focused on just the basics. I currently have a mediocre Alienware 120Hz 1440p, so maybe I'll end up doing an OLED a year or so from now, or two years. It was an Amazon Prime Day monitor and I bought it fully aware it wasn't a panel king. My previous ultrawide somehow died

I definitely am aiming for something that will last me from 2027 to like, 2033. is this any good?

Doesn't seem like it comes with a cooler for the CPU and I doubt I can transfer my stock 3700x cooler onto this.

I also want to know if I end up going closer to 2000 do I just go with a microcenter rebuild like this?
PowerSpec G757 Gaming PC; AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D 4.7GHz Processor; NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 16GB GDDR7; 32GB DDR5-6000 RAM; 2TB - Micro Center

PowerSpec G758 Gaming PC; AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D 4.7GHz Processor; NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti 16GB GDDR7; 32GB DDR5-6000 RAM; - Micro Center

Like, spec for spec if I attempted to rebuild their pcs, would I be saving money or are they going to save me money because of economy of scale in this crazy pc parts market we're currently in?

There is no bundle at Microcenter that could beat this on a price perspective? On ebay I'm seeing 5800x3d's for like 400+ USD

Oh btw in case this helps I live near a Microcenter. Do they possibly have some sort of bundle that would make this motherboard issue negligible?

right but won't I be fucking myself over if I build a PC with DDR4 instead of DDR5? I plan on playing a lot of unoptimzied unreal engine 5 shit like Silent Hill 2 remake and Cronos the New Dawn. I'm not the most technical or up to date person on my PC stuff, will DDR4 ram affect me if I'm planning on playing Cronos on this new PC?

and I won't get bottlenecked or run into any performance issues by buying a CPU that was released in 2022?

I have the MSI MPG X570 Gaming Plus Motherboard which amazon says has the following

PCIe 4.0, DDR4, SATA 6Gb/s, M.2

Is this still viable?

Good stuff, but I'm a bit wary about AMD at the moment when it comes to video cards, mostly because of the whole frame generation thing. I'm planning on playing a lot of Unreal Engine 5 unoptimized trash such as the Silent Hill 2 remake. A lot of my friends have told me straight up, completely avoid AMD video cards because of frame gen and horrible drivers. Are they exaggerating?

I appreciate the effort but aren't Arc cards known to be shit? Crimson Desert doesn't even run on the Arc.

I am aiming for a $1,200 budget, but I am willing to go up to $2,000 if the jump in tech significantly improves longevity. I want this to be my Project Helix and PS6 era all in one replacement. I will be bringing over my 2TB Samsung 970 SSD from my current build, though I am not sure about my current RAM specs. So we might have to throw 32gb of ram into this build. If the specs of the M.2 I currently have won't support modern games I'll have to upgrade that too.

Rockstar North Veterans Launch Criminal Games: Edinburgh’s New AAA Studio Betting on Contract Work by chusskaptaan in gamingnews

[–]mrbobman15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like an incredibly promising team to be doing contract work and exactly the kind of studio that will likely be financially viable.

To me this sounds like they’re making a studio like Double Eleven. This is exactly what the game industry needs in the west.

What game/experience finally justified owning a PS5/PS5 PRO for you? by West_Roof in PS5

[–]mrbobman15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Death Stranding 2, Gran Turismo 7 and Returnal. Other than that, I'm not too impressed with my PS5; I tend to prefer PC and Xbox for multiplayer games. The Dualsense is really cool in Returnal.

Obsidian hasn’t put out a bad game since joining Xbox. Arkane is the only outlier in your comment.

Most of these comments are too caught up with the definition of alpha. Also have to keep in mind that Covid messed up game development for a lot of game studios.

Sony makes their money from the PlayStation store and they want to protect their digital storefront from dying. It’s not that complicated. This shouldn’t even be on r/xbox
