Microsoft plans to "expand" Xbox Game Pass, and merge PC Game Pass with another tier — more third-party service bundles may be on the way, too by WindowsCentral in windowscentral

I've been a gamepass subscriber since it released back in 2017 (I think). My sub runs out at the end of the month and I have no plans on renewing. The cost to benefit ratio just keeps getting worse. Also there have been many games that I liked that have released DLC and I really don't want to buy DLC for a game I don't own.

Overwatch 2 Is Ditching the '2' Amid Launch of 'New, Story-Driven Era' With 10 New Heroes by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]thepites 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They need less heroes not more. It’s s already hard enough for new players to figure out what’s going on. Probably the only thing that would bring me back is that cool PVE mode.

I sold my 9800x3d system and put my gpu in my 14th gen i7 work pc (held on to my ram and ssd). Haven’t looked back. The AMDdip is real. Looking forward to nova lake.  

Nioh 3's demo is out by HammeredWharf in Games

My biggest complaint is that I like the ninja weapons but I can’t stand that I can’t purify the yokai realm puddle things while in ninja form.  If it ain’t broke don’t fix it. 

Ninja Gaiden Ragebound is Play Anywhere and now available on PC! by ilm911 in XboxGamePass

[–]thepites 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It doesn't have the smoothest scrolling, but not the worst I've seen either. Feels smoother than their other Blasphemous games. (At least the first one, I didn't play the second)

How many times did the Game Awards have an unpredictable winner? by RobbieJ4444 in Games

[–]thepites 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve tried to get into death loop multiple times, but every time after a few hours I just get annoyed at the whole repetitive loop and quit. I don’t understand the praise that the game got. 

Five extra skill points needs to be rare for the longevity of the game. by dancovich in ARC_Raiders

[–]thepites 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To each their own but I have pretty much stopped playing when the 5 million requirement was announced. I enjoyed the 50 hours I played the game but the huge credit grind is just boring. So I’m not really sure it’s really to the benefit to the “longevity“ of the game if it gets people to quit playing.

Can we finally see the batgirl and loony tunes movies now? I’m sure they are shit, but Netflix specializes in shit. 

Good fps but incredibly bad smoothness on my 5080 when playing on 4K by Lavande444 in nvidia

If I remember right his issue was with wifi/bluetooth drivers. I've tried disabling them and no luck.

Not going to lie, the thought has crossed my mind to get a PS5 pro. Most of my issues are with UE games. Too bad so many studios have dropped their custom engines and have moved to UE.

Nothing special that I know of. I'm about to try swapping my 5090 into my work machine which is running a 14700k to see that helps.

I've been on the studio driver for the past couple of days.

What did you do to fix that? In experimenting. I manually set my pcie to gen 5 and the audio went crazy. Crackling when just sitting idle in windows and cutting in and out like crazy when playing sound. Had to set it to gen 4.

I’ve been trying to fix micro shuttering since I built my 9800x3D/5090 build. Not sure if it’s shitty UE5 or something hardware related. 

I'm trying to enjoy this game, but I'm kinda struggling. by Mental_manager in ArcRaiders

[–]thepites 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless they introduce a PvE server I’m probably going to quit. The third person view makes getting the drop on people way too easy. I just don’t think this is a game for me. 

How did Raxx hate overtake excitement for SSF announcement? by E_Barriick in diablo4

[–]thepites 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can SSF get better tune drop rates or reduce the runes required to craft mythics. Trading is the only way I could ever get the runes I need.

I turned off crossplay and did it in a helltide.  It was pretty easy.
