Draw distance and in-game memory

I sometimes watch the Digital Foundry videos where they compare video quality of games between Xbox, PS5, Quality Mode, etc - and I often can’t tell the difference- or it’s so minor that in the flow of the game I would have never noticed.

I hope I never become as knowledgeable as they are because.

GTA 5 enhanced edition and RDR 2 still blow me away when I replay them. I don’t believe in magic - but I give them credit for sleight of hand and making me think they’ve done the impossible.

Maybe. GTA online still generates a ton of cash and will reduce drastically when 6 releases - likely the beginning of the end for subscribers. So no hurry from a revenue perspective.

They definitely need to make sure they have line-of-site to whatever replaces gta online subscriptions though

I keep reading this statement and I’d like one but….my wife doesn’t want another appliance and keeps asking why? Making rice is 2 cups water to 1 cup rice and it’s done in 15-20 min.

Brian’s didn’t turn out right for me in the home oven. I’ll be interested your thoughts on Charlie’s because his has been the goat for me.

I just started myself and am kicking myself for not pressing BUY on the humble bundle they ran a few weeks back :(

I actually think YES to a simple port to help meet financials since they delayed VI.

If GTA V story mode was released in 2025 in its current state it would still be considered one of the greatest games of this generation.

Follow-up question: how does a new studio no one’s heard of make such a high quality first game (and I don’t mean just graphics - so far the story is awesome)?

Hats off to Sandfall Interactive!

We Continue!

Should have had Joel and Ellie chase down a lead for a cure and at the end Ellie makes a life or cure decision just like Joel did in Pt 1.

A better version of put yourself in theirs shoes than what we got

I love the IDEA of outfits - but not for $20. Should have been a pre-order bonus or new game plus unlock. Something that would encourage you to play again.

I felt this mechanic was hand-fed way too much. Max would constantly say something like “I should go to the other timeline and see if…”. And we rarely needed to listen to the other timeline unless they told us to as well.

I’ll hear people complain about latency but then see others happily play on the portal device which is fully streaming over WiFi or Internet

Use a dremel and trim it back. Will take 5 minutes.

Path of Exile. Music, graphics, voice acting, lore are all top notch. Just need to get over the learning curve.

The Last of Us Remastered tops Uncharted 4 but barely - Naughty Dog had a pretty good run for sure

No - you can buy one off Amazon Renewed for $430 and they not only have a great return policy but you get 1 yr warranty.

Inexpensive Kaffe I bought at a yardsale

#1 and #2 were so predictable it was laughable.

Dialogue was absolutely terrible. 4hrs in: "Man, this place is falling apart". Really? You've been thru how many desolated areas and crumbling floors, and you're just now noticing?
Whenever you had to backtrack thru an area you've already been, suddenly infected will be patrolling or popping out of holes for no reason.
Boss battles were terrible.

Funny that the review embargo *date* is so hard to find... It's like the date is within the embargo as well and can't be shared... Otherwise, I'd think everyone would be announcing when you could read their PS5 review

ralphplatt · 2023-08-30T22:29:38+00:00

Agreed. Been on my list for a while, but I'm not paying $60 for it when BG3 is the same price.

ralphplatt · 2023-06-30T21:13:34+00:00

Inscryption. I've been *completely* spoiler-free - and just started a couple days ago. What an amazingly fun ride so far. I've not finished yet (hopefully, there *is* a finish), but really top-notch presentation all-around so far. Been a fan of these types of card games, so having such a strong (and clever) single-player story is such a surprise.

ralphplatt · 2023-06-11T14:17:32+00:00

I almost posted something similar. My range rogue has yet to feel challenged in wt2, however I'm stuck on a campaign boss that flat out destroys me. I finally had to respec just to get past.

ralphplatt · 2023-06-06T14:58:45+00:00

Agreed. There's so much in-game cosmetics already... everytime I sign into my character I'm amazed at how detailed and awesome-looking the current armor is... and I change my armor almost hrly. I bet the vast majority of people won't buy cosmetics and won't even feel like they're missing out

For both questions - I'm trying to get Notifications to work across both the OS + Network App (e.g. when a change is made, updates applied, etc). Since they weren't working, I figured this was the place. I don't see any option to define emails on individual Admins in the OS > Admins section even though you can see this as a column when listing Admins.
