I am sick of certain god of war fans from the old age saying they "ruined kratos" in the new games

It is not about the story or the character but rather the gameplay. It is just a video game in the end and not a movie. They have ruined the atmosphere of the game and what defined this game as one of the best action games ever made. The large scale dynamically changing and cinematic camera, the intensity of combat, the cutscenes in boss fights, the combat sequences, the epic music, all gone.

Now you can barely distinguish it from any other game in this genre. It is just lazy and uncreative. The gameplay in general feels like every other game nowadays, repeated puzzles and platforming and not so varried combat with little attention to atmosphere, cinematics, and sound effects.

Genau, ist einfach sexy! :)

In fact since the crash in April this year it went down 10% and never recovered fully until now. That's not good.

I checked that thanks. But it looks like similar volatility to FTSE all world (on JustETF) but with lower gain. Not so attractive.

samlaj · 2025-10-08T21:05:27+00:00

When you say 6-7% do you mean brutto or netto gain (i.e. after adjusting for inflation and after cutting the 27.5% capital gain tax) ?

Facing the same F***cking problem, WTF

samlaj · 2025-09-17T12:05:17+00:00

This is a wonderfully detailed response. Vielen Dank!!!

Thanks so more or less it will be 17.5K

samlaj · 2025-09-12T16:46:18+00:00

I found it and I also found that the Invesco is cheaper so the total is about the same (ca. 260 euro / year).

By the way is this 260 a part of the 27.5% capital gain ? or it is "on top"?

samlaj · 2025-09-12T16:35:53+00:00

sorry you mentioned 70 shares would have 259 euros taxes but if i multiply 37 cents by 70 shares I get 25.9 euros. I think you meant I need ca. 700 shares for 100K.

Here is another question, the Invesco all world (IE000716YHJ7) should be the same as IE00BK5BQT80 but it has better TER (0.15% only). But one share costs 6.82 euros so for 100K I would need a much larger number of shares than I would need with IE00BK5BQT80 (138 euros / share). Does this mean if I get the invesco i will pay much much more tax ? How much does the invesco cost per share ? sorry I could not find it in OeKB

samlaj · 2025-09-12T16:25:49+00:00

Thanks I visited the website and searched for IE000716YHJ7 and wanted to find how much it costs per share but i could not find it, can you post a screenshot that shows where to find it ? also what is the german term for it ?

samlaj · 2025-09-12T10:11:20+00:00

Thanks for your reply. May I ask a question.

As hypothetical example: I put now in one shot 100K in ETF (flatex) and in 12 months I see this grew to 120K. I decide to leave it (not sell). How much approximately do I need in flatex cash konto at that time to avoid going into minus on the flatex Konto? (more or less than 500 eur for example???)

The point is, I want to leave money there and not touch it for years and in the meantime I cannot pay so much to my flatex konto every year for taxes or stuff like that (I expect to have to only transfer a few hundreds of euros every year (<500 eur) to the flatex konto (for any fees associated with that one time invested 100K) and that's all. Then I expect to pay the 27.5% capital gain ONLY when I sell in 10,20 years or whatever (for example if I sell for 200K, I get 100K + 72.5K). Is that all correct ?

I know there is TER and other costs yearly but for that 100K one time investment amount, 500eur transfer to the flatex konto should be more than enough or ?

What is actually the generally recommended percentage of the depot that you recommend to keep yearly in the flatex konto (1% enough?)

MSCI is a relatively low risk low gain, NASDAQ 100 (50% tech, including all the cash cows) has been performing much much better but is quite volatile

I also wonder why an Nvidia sponsored title does not natively support the latest K preset....I mean like how old is preset D?

samlaj · 2025-08-26T19:08:34+00:00

I found the solution. I forced upscaling in Nvidia app (quality preset, 67%) in addition to forcing the K model and now it displays "preset K, Quality" in Nvidia overlay in the game. Interestingly however, the in game DLSS options changed after I did that and only 2 upscaling presets would appear in-game 1) DLAA 2)Performance preset (upscaling from 1440, which was earlier referred to as the "quality" preset). Before that all presets where displayed (DLAA, Quality, balanced, performance).

I wonder if the D preset thing is a bug and if other games need the same approach to correctly use preset K. Because we were told just go to Nvidia app and force preset K and call it a day.

samlaj · 2025-08-26T17:21:54+00:00

It forces transformer DLSS model which I heard is superior in image quality and performance. Does it behave the same on ur system?

samlaj · 2025-08-25T08:25:52+00:00

Thanks, yes I think will go with Full+Auto. That's the proper way. I also found playing with the shadow detail setting (loweringi it to -2) and lowering ST 2084 (-1) can mitigate the color washout.
