There is just so much wrong with Western civilization.

So - just bear with me now - what if I told you you could actually tell when your framerate drops without actually having to monitor the exact number? What if I also told you that it can be highly distracting when that happens?

I feel like needing 120 fps is ridiculous, personally (ditto for needing ultra high…

Not a single Bethesda game has launched in a way that doesn’t chug on PC.

This. And my additional (also cynical) take is that, by completely removing it from sale, he also gives it a sort of immortality. Like now it’s going to be this mythical “unavailable” game which will automatically increase its cultural cache even more. 

(Admittedly, somewhat cynical) translation: I got my bag, and the longer this remains available for purchase, the more liable I am for the obvious and blatant copyright infringement the game made its fortune on.

Which, to be clear, I don’t really begrudge. I doubt this dude thought this game would ever have the…

“So we end up where we are with Starfield, a game that visually looks like something from this era, but still plays and operates like a game from 2005"

It is worth issuing a disclaimer that when you long rest make sure nothing pivotal is actively happening on-screen.

But it still seems very weird to abandon an engine that has currently produced the most graphically advanced triple A game of this generation so far, for an engine that while very promising at the point of them making the decision was very much yet to prove its prowess (demos exists, complex performance analysis did…

Sounds like a problem for the giant corporation, not random internet narcs.

He’s so smug and proud it’s honestly pathetic. People like this are just so intensely lame. 

“I am now a pariah of that subreddit,” Adkins wrote in his initial email. “I get it, hype and excitement are at an all-time high. I’m just as excited as the next person, but I draw the line at theft. I was raised to believe that crime doesn’t pay. I had hoped our society, and so-called Bethesda fans could be held to…

I’m out. The “free” monthly games have been going downhill, and honestly I haven’t even turned my PS5 on since Ragnarok. Tell me Ragnarok and Spider-Man 2 are coming to PC, maybe hook me up with a PC port of Ghost of Tsushima, and I could get rid of my PS5 entirely.

Bro fuck Sony. They already raised it to $60 and tied online play to the subscription 

I stopped going to panda express once I learned they don’t serve real panda meat. That’s the real scandal, why aren’t we talking about that?!?

There are definitely plenty of moments where you define how Geralt works, but you’re correct. I think it can work just fine though. V in Cyberpunk is a player defined creation, and voiced lines work well in that, and honestly, that’s how FO4 SHOULD have worked, it’s just, again, Bethesda sucks at that. You’re right…

If you plan to continue going to panda express the vouchers are the way to go as the value in most states would be around $17 compared to the anticipated $10. that being said it really depends how the value of the vouchers is counted towards the settlement cost. If it’s just the cost for the company then a higher…

“Gran Turismo finished #1 at the box office” is a sentence I’d never thought would see the light of day, but here we are, and breaking Barbie’s incredible run at #1 while it was at it.

Hopefully the money they saved on having silent protagonists enabled them to hire a few extra voice actors to do the NPCs so you don’t have 600 different characters all sharing the same 5 voices.

I absolutely prefer voiced protagonists, but Bethesda generally has bad dialog writing, and it feels even more pronounced when it’s voiced. I think the negative reaction to FO4 was partly the generic gamergate misogyny, but mostly people who had skimmed over the mediocre dialog in previous Bethesda games sitting and…

Maybe this is because I never played No Man’s Sky, but I never expected there to NOT be barriers on the different worlds. I guess I was already used to the limits that we had on Mass Effect with the smaller planets.
