I just replied to someone else, but apparently I beat it in 9 hours (I just checked my playlog). Apologies for overstating my point, and kudos to the team for making it feel pretty quick. So 10-12 to 15-18 isn’t that big a change.

Hmm, well, I guess I’m wrong about that then. Apparently I beat it in 9 hours. Apologies for overstating my point, and kudos to the team for making it feel pretty quick. 

I liked Plague Tale, but I’m a little worried about them saying the next one is going to be 3x longer. It was an excellent 4-5 hour game, not a grand epic

You...you know that they’re not making all of these simultaneously, right? That there will probably be three main teams, one working on Witcher, the other on CP, and those teams will proceed to make a single game. As that game is wrapping up, they will transition to the next game, with early story and design work…

So?

I don’t know why people are being so weird about all of this. Witcher came out in 2007 and it took them 4 years to figure out how to make Witcher 2, a sequel, but with dramatically different tools and combat systems, and then 4 years to make a wildly celebrated open world game. Then, in the next 6 years, they released…

I think I played through 3 times, and steam says I have 137 hours. First time was very completionist, 2nd time the same, but, you know, moreorless the opposite choices so a long playthrough, but quicker than the first time, third time was messing around with things and running through quite quick

I think this is the first big opportunity in a LONG time though. Unfortunately, AMD has been playing catch-up on the big jumps, and while their 6000 gen cards were great as rasterization at a good price, the lack of FSR for a LONG time after launch hurt them (especially as DLSS is still better), and now, as you’ve…

I cannot tell you how badly I want RDNA 3 to kick butt and come eat all of Nvidia’s lunch. Both of them overbooked chips before the crypto crash, and if AMD doesn’t flub this opportunity, they can sell through that inventory while Nvidia tells us to get over their terrifying prices.

So Niemann has beat Carlsen twice in a row

Um, so will it at least have native support for PC? I might consider a corded headset if it has these wonderful specs and works for my PC as well, but there is no way I’m paying $400-500 for a PS5 only VR headset that has essentially no back catalog.

I don’t know why we’re treating it as a fact that people won’t buy short games. I am MORE likely to buy short games. I love games, and I love getting lost in them, but also, I have other things to do, and if a game I’m interested in is going to take me 50 hours, I’m less likely to pick it up, because do I really want…

Not really. It isn’t just a single number. It says the estimated time to beat 1) Main Story 2) Main Story + Extras and 3) Completionist. For Skyrim, those numbers are: 34 hours, 109 hours, and 239 hours

So....it sounds like you are connecting wirelessly from the laptop to the router, and then also from the router to the quest. Stop doing that, you’re doubling your latency. When you are playing a VR game, disconnect your laptop from your Wifi network, and instead connect it ONLY to your quest, so the two are talking…

I’m confused. Your gaming laptop doesn’t need an ethernet port—you should connect directly from the laptop to your Quest over WiFi. The latency should be essentially the same as over the link cable. Are you connecting the laptop to a router and then to the headset?

The metanarrative was sloppy at first, got a bit better in the Ezio trilogy, and has been a continued distraction thereafter. The problem is that stories need real senses of endings, and the metanarrative was an attempt to provide a continuity to the series when an individual game narrative finished--which makes so…

No, you can’t. When I picked it up, you had to make an Oculus account, and they then transitioned it to FB account, and now it’s a Meta account. Sadly, there is no way to use it without an account. It’s the only thing that galls me.

Um, what? You can already play Steam games wirelessly on the Quest—both with the unofficial “hack” (virtual desktop) since basically when the Quest 2 launched, and with the official Air Link since 2021. I haven’t bothered with the official version, as virtual desktop works great for me (about 20ms latency), but there…

Not OP, but I also like cruises. For me, my wife loves doing ALL THE THINGS on vacation, and I like doing none of the things. Cruises split the difference better than anything else. When we’re in a port, we do as many things as she can cram in, and it’s fun for me, and a little annoying, and then when we’re sailing,…

If it came with back paddles, I would 100% buy it at that price. I don’t really need to mess with the buttons or control sticks, but paddles are a game changer, and half the reason to cough up for the elite. Oh well.
