Completely agree. What made Elden Ring so different and special to me was the ability to overcome the game’s challenge in a way that I saw fit. Bringing in Sekiro’s “get gud” mechanics takes a game that was championed for its flexibility and makes it inaccessible for people like me. I don’t have the frustration…

I posted about this on reddit in r/gaming and got SO much hate and vitriol lobbed at me. The hate in mainstream gaming is really disheartening right now. It feels like gamergate never really left.

Too bad 3.2 hours of playtime and 16 months of passed life time is too much for a Steam refund

I’m sure that McAfee’s security analysts are well-meaning and hard working members of the workforce, but honestly I consider an installation of any version of McAfee to be malware

Waiting until you arrive at the airport to select your seat(s) is TERRIBLE advice - especially right now! Holy shit. Flights were pretty crowded before the pandemic, but with airlines canceling flights left and right and consolidating routes to save money and fuel, the chances that you’ll be stuck with middle seats…

Why would anyone skip the Red Light District in Amsterdam? It’s such a great time, even if you just spend 45 minutes walking from one end to the other. I would argue that even if you’re not going to partake in any of the festivities there, just people watching along the canal is worth it. And you can end the visit…

It’s a little older now, but I LOVE my LG 27GN950-B. It’s every bit as good as Joe’s Ultragear selection, but with 4k resolution and (good enough) HDR. The colors are vibrant and accurate, it can get up to 160hz with a firmware update, is the perfect size for my desk, and goes so, so well with a high end NVIDIA 3000…

I think that weapon upgrades do a great deal, but so does increasing the stat that most scales with your weapon. For me, pumping 80 points into Intelligence has increased my glintstone damage to an incredible degree AND made my Intelligence scaling melee swords one-hit murder machines. So the grinding does make a big…

delete please, double post

Conversely, I love overleveling. Grinding doesn’t bother me at all, because, for me, the reward of being able to absolutely destroy these enemies and bosses that gave me so much trouble is SO rewarding. In Elden Ring, the gameplay loop is satisfying enough that the game is immensely enjoyable regardless of how I…

How did this comment make it out of the greys?

While usually good advice, the difficulty in finding a competent GPU for a reasonable price right now completely throws this argument in the toilet. “It’s never been easier to get into building your own” is one of the more disingenuous things you could stay about the state of PC building right now. Sure, it’s easy, if…

The idea that you’re actually recommending those Alienware failures is really something. It’s definitely peak Alienware design, which is not a good thing. This is a lesser model, but the complaints are valid throughout the entire line.

Joe Rogan complaining about bad actors being disingenuous about their practices and benefiting from others monetarily though misinformation or greed is like Donald Duck complaining about Daffy Duck’s speech impediment

There are a few games that might be Epic Game Store exclusives, but, technically, you’ll be able to play them on the Steam Deck - which means they’ll still be accessible on Valve’s device. The Steam Deck will load any program that a PC can, including the EGS, Origin, Battle.net, etc.

Was this article/advertisement written by a middle schooler? I can’t even follow the language in this post, and for once the product is actually pretty good. Some of those sentences aren’t even sentences, haha.

This is actually a terrible deal at $170. Acer 1440p 75hz 27" monitors can regularly be found for about $15 more on Amazon, and you don’t have to deal with Newegg’s return policies. It’s really not great to direct people to make bad faith purchases just for an ad kickback.
