I discovered...weeks into my first playthrough as everyone was dying of frostbite...that you need to build supply depots by the resource piles so your workers don’t have to carry every load of stuff all the way back to town through the snow...

I found myself pleasantly surprised by just how well it played on console - I prefer console gaming as a general rule, but this sort of game I often have to play on PC just because the controls don’t translate very well. It helps that (as I recall; it’s probably been a year since I played any) this is the sort of…

I’m really trying to love the game, but I just find the world traversal to be so damned boring that I just don’t care anymore about completing main mission stories, let alone side missions. A Taxi or Metro ride helps alleviate some of the issues, but those just get you to the main portion of an area. Anything else is…

They both have guns and cyberpunk settings. That’s the extent of their similarity. CP2077 has far more in common with Deus Ex than The Ascent.

I never really got the whole “it was only done by X people so don’t criticize it” perspective.

Having a difficult time understanding the need to nitpick this game to death?

Ethan specifically mentioned the text size option...

The small text is very true. I’ve been playing on Xbox, but I play on a gaming monitor sitting at a desk PC-style. So I haven’t had any trouble reading everything, but I can still tell everything is super small and crisp. I was playing with 3 or 4 other guys though all on Xbox, and they all complained about being able…

I was going to say, I took the screenshots above and full screened them (60" tv, about 6-8 feet away?) and can read everything. Granted, some of the text is small, and I wouldn’t want to read it for hours at a time.

To those who prefer 2FA to phone numbers instead of Google Authenticator, you know phone number spoofing is a thing right?

Then don’t install a second SSD. Grab a portable USB drive and store that way until the PS5 with a 2TB SSD is released. Then buy that one.

Have you forgotten the PS3 and PS4? The PS3 required an internal drive upgrade as its USB ports were too slow for running games off external storage. Same with the PS4 for the first four years of its cycle - USB external support didn’t come till 2017. Lots of people had to deal with the procedure of setting up a new…

That’s not even possible if they do a system update every month or quarter.

One of the things I told people after Cerny announced the speeds necessary for outside NVMEs to work was that, at the time, drives at those speeds weren’t readily available, and those that were at reasonable sizes (so 1tb), were well over $200. Right now, a cursory search on Newegg shows a smattering of 1tb drives…

The biggest issue with the Microsoft option is that it’s only 1 TB. It’s not outrageously priced for what it is, really, but it’s just a pain being stuck with one size option. And yeah, it’s easier to install, but... how often are you going to take it out? It’s like 5 extra minutes of work once and then never again on…

Having upgraded the storage on my PS3, it’s actually far easier now. You pop off the side (which doesn’t require any tools), unscrew the SSD cover, screw in the hard drive, and reassemble. Since it’s an additional hard drive, the console should handle the rest from there. It’s as easy as adding a hard drive to any…

Just as soon as storage manufacturers start being honest about the size of the devices they sell.

I would take Sony’s NVME solution over Microsoft, but I am also a tech enthusiast so this all sounds basic and rudimentary to me. Microsoft’s solution is obviously far easier, but it does not offer the performance that Sony’s does.

There are strengths and weaknesses to both of them.  I opted into the beta so hopefully…

It’s pretty simple once you just get past the alphabet soup nature of their explanation. I would assume that they’d come out with more basic instructions once this is widely available, as I’m sure most of those in the beta program are savvy enough to easily install an M.2 NVMe drive.

Whenever this type of things happen, it’s not just a temper tantrum. It’s an organized campaign. It’s people getting indocrinated in conspiracy theory tactics: the negation of reality.
