You’re of course correct...you could indeed see your kill count. It was just everything else that was broken.

You clearly don't remember the BF4 launch debacle.

THERE IS NO NEED FOR RUDENESS, SAI AXETWIN OF KOTAKU.

Clearly that’s been an ace strategy for The Winds of Winter.

I’ve been hoping for this for the last several years. Almost all of the franchises I’ve been wanting to see updated have been done at this point so my wish list is pretty small, but DS currently tops it.

I greatly prefer physical games media for it’s permanence, but despite having both a Series X and PS5 disc edition I also haven’t purchased a single physical game for either and don’t expect that I will in the future. It’s just a pain in the ass having to swap discs all the time.

No one is obligated to say good things. No one is obligated to say bad things.

They can’t stop someone from buying the game but they can definitely make it financially painful, particularly on console as they can simply block your XBL or PSN account from the servers.

I’ll get right on this then. SotC and Demon Souls do indeed look better than the originals.

This will get the job done but only supports 2 displays and 2 audio systems. I imagine that you can further use splitters for more displays (when they become widely available, assuming that all displays have the same resolution/capabilities).

That is exactly the type of setup I’m currently working on. Gear is in a ventilated 36U server rack in my office (which is independently climate controlled from the rest of the house). The gaming PC currently feeds a 48" OLED and Onkyo surround receiver in the same room. The Series X, PS5, and all the rest of the A/V…

I completely agree. I’ll soon have the ability to route any signal to either display, but for the time being the 48" is for PC gaming and the 85" is reserved for the consoles.

It depends on the application. On my desk in my office I have a 48" and it is plenty big. In my theater I have an 85" which is already pushing the limits of the space yet I’m already plotting how I can go even larger.

That’s awesome but my point is that those of us who would pay those kinds of prices (at that screen size) are in the minority.

You want visual quality and advanced features, and frankly so do I...but are you prepared to pay for it when that 42" TV costs $1000 (if not more)?

I’m not sure how you could have possibly missed it if you were playing from launch. At launch the game was a complete mess, with constant crashes, freezes, and too many bugs to list here. It was so bad that DICE had to issue a public mea culpa for the state of the game. EA eventually had to step in and announce that…

I’ve been playing this on Xbox again and I forgot how low the resolution is. It looks like complete ass at 720p with no AA to speak of, but I have to admit that with the addition of 120Hz it plays like a dream.

I’m not a snob about the games themselves, but I am most definitely a snob about the hardware I use. I generally won’t even bother unless I’m playing on top shelf equipment. This goes for both the gaming gear itself as well as the AV gear it’s hooked up to. I’m simply unsatisfied with anything less than the best…

If you can’t find a single compelling thing to play on any one of the major consoles there are only 2 possible conclusions: either you are an ultra die hard fanboy or you simply don’t want to find anything to play.
