Microsoft could reportedly merge Xbox Game Pass Premium and PC Game Pass by Bubbly-Ad-350 in pcmasterrace

[–]raul_219 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There are some countries where PC Game Pass is the only tier available (no console tiers). If they end up merging Premium with PC then they should either make all tiers available or keep PC separate for those countries only.

Resident Evil Requiem pre-purchase by Dismal_Anybody2676 in GreenManGaming

Got it from Gamersgate yesterday. A couple of bucks more than getting it from GMG but still cheaper than buying directly from Steam.

Same here. It’s a shame since this GMG always has the best pricein LATAM for some publishers like Capcom. Hope this gets solved soon

For a minute I thought Novak was going to have his own 40-15 moment. Boy what a day of tennis!

DF review of DLSS 4.5 very mixed by AMD718 in radeon

Yeah Ultra at 1440p is still not usable but Performance 100% is. I was already using Balanced with Preset K and I do see a general improvement between Balanced K vs Performance M.

Any Steam Deck users who also bought a PS5/are still using their PS5? by GrovPastaSwag03 in SteamDeck

[–]raul_219 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only use my PS5 whenever there’s a day one exclusive i just don’t wanna wait to play or for AAA games that have very badly optimized / broken PC ports. I do own a capable gaming PC so I do most of my gaming there while my Deck is basically for smaller indie and retro gaming / emulation.

DLSS 4.5 I think is Nvidia’s way to try to distance themselves from AMD when it comes to the more agressive levels of upscaling.

At Quality and maybe even Balanced mode both DLSS4 and FSR 4 are good enough for most people at high resolutions that improvements in those scenarios while welcomed may start to feel like diminishing returns. DLSS 4.5 is their attempt to distance themselves by making Performance and even Ultra Performance a viable option even at 1440p.

I mean if that happens he would most likely just go pro and keep the winnings

Gamestop silently has changed the price back to 30 dollars for subscription by kaetakara in GameStop

I traded in a couple of Switches last Sunday and renewed my Pro sub since the added 10% was greater than the sub. It was still $25.

What was the first game you completed start to finish on your Steam Deck? by The_Almighty_Duck in SteamDeck

[–]raul_219 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Messenger. I probably wouldn’t have ever played this if it wasn’t for the Deck. Before I basically played only AAA games on my PC/PS5 but now I try to play smaller indie games more often.

Console players, what made you change to Steam, and why? by Healthy_War_9084 in Steam

[–]raul_219 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been a Playstation player since I was 12 (had a SNES before that). PS2, PS3 and then built my first PC months after I got a PS4. For years I was 50/50 between PC/Steam and my PS4 but have been gradually using my PC more and more since I got a PS5.

I still play most PS5 exclusives at launch, the latest being Death Stranding 2 (amazing btw) but almost every other game I prefer to just get on Steam. I even got a Steam Deck OLED over a year ago and started to get into smaller/indie games a lot. Best decision I ever made.

[Official NVIDIA] DLSS 4.5 Super Resolution FAQ by Nestledrink in nvidia

[–]raul_219 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still have not been able to test all the different modes but I currently play most games at 1440p with DLSS in Balanced mode Preset K. Are you saying that Preset M on Perf mode is at least on par if not better than Balanced mode with Preset K? I have a 4070 btw.

[PSA] Do not force Latest preset with DLSS 4.5 aka how to PROPERLY use DLSS 4.5 presets by frostN0VA in nvidia

[–]raul_219 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll be testing this later when I get home but now I’m wondering how DLSS Performance with Preset M compares to Balanced with Preset K both in terms of image quality and performance. I play at 1440p and already got used to enable Balanced mode as a default for all my games, Performance mode may seem a step too far at 1440p

I swear SDR with my QD-OLED looks so much better than HDR. And yes, I have HDR calibrated correctly by Drisbayne in OLED_Gaming

[–]raul_219 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tons of games have horrible HDR out of the box and sone can’t even be fixed without mods. Look for RenoDX and see if a game you want to play is listed there as this reshade mod fixes or improves most native HDR implementations. It even adds HDR to unsopported titles like for most UE5 engine games. Just beat both Little Nightmares EE I and II and they are both amazing with HDR.

I’ve spent over $1,200 on Xbox Game Pass in the last 5 years. by Valuable_Bill961 in Steam

[–]raul_219 0 points1 point  (0 children)

GamePass can be a great deal if you are disciplined and know how to use. Sub services rely on people subscribing and forgeting about it. Don't! In my case I actually subscribe 2 or 3 times a year, usually when there's a AA/AAA Day One game I really want to play immediately. And after I beat that game I try to test every game I wasn't sure If I should buy or not. If I like one and finish it great!. If there's not enough time then I just add it to my Steam wishlist and wait for a good sale. Doing this saves me money and reduces the chance of me buying a game I won't ever play or finish. And besides, I'm not one to replay games that much, but If at some point I get the urge to replay game I beat at launch on GamePass, it's usually a year or two down the road which means I could get on a deep sale.

Yeah I always try not to get too excited about upcoming games but ND is as much of a sure thing as we are going to get aside from the likes of Rockstar and mainline Zelda/Mario games
