The Sony ties run deep, all the way to the PSX I guess.

I have like 8 PTs of OW - my next PT will be on the enhanced edition.  Looking forward to going over lvl 35.

Now that i have beaten the DLCs and ran thru on super nova... I bought the upgrade edition lol....

And the DUMB dialog is amazing....

Trying to Decide what RPG im gonna run thru next... Wasteland 3, Pathfinder, or Greedfall

Old JRPGs not getting a "fast forward" feature is a crime. Lots of time wasted on dialogue reading.

FF pixel remaster. 

They did a good job of speeding up overworld navigation and battles, but for the love of God I can read a lot faster than events progress. Only option is to skip. And while I've certainly played FF I through VI plenty, that doesn't mean I want to skip all the dialogue.

Well, this is actually ... a game. Mind blowing.



You can only be bothered by your own thoughts. You can only be p*ssed about your own life.

not to get caught up in the PnR aspect of this but this is bullshit and Brad Smith says it best (President @ MSFT):

They'll approve AT&T taking over Time Warner, T-Mobile over Sprint, but when it comes to video gaming/cloud gaming they think there's a problem?  
I hope they win the appeal but something tells me they probably don't care given how successful AI growth has been to the bottom line the last 6 months.

no it runs at 30-50FPS on all devices, consoles and PCs alike.

To each their own, but do you really let frame rate dictate what games you'll play?

When it comes to Switch, no. But when it comes to consoles that seem to put most of their effort into graphics and not gameplay, yes.

Final Fantasy 7 Remake on PS4 PRO ran at 15 FPS or less most of the time. It was just unplayable. Like these are recent games, they need to give that 60 FPS option regardless of how trash it looks. It'd probably look worse on the Switch, they're assuming people are happy with 30 FPS. If I'm happy with 30 FPS I'm going to be playing a game on my switch instead lol.

What's the purpose of a 4090 and X3D CPU if it can't hit 100-120 frames. Jedi survivor runs equally as bad at 1080p as at 4K in that game lol.

I was impressed with hogwarts legacy, good graphics, 60FPS on PS5. Same with Stray.
