Re: Bought these games today

Bought another copy of FEAR for €1. I don't really need it, but it's a great game I now got for a great price and pickings are quite slim these days where I live. A couple of years ago I installed the Steam version and was shocked that it installed something like 17GB without the expansions. The …

There's a series of Youtube vids that illustrates my main problem with modern games perfectly: If Doom was done today They're ten years old by now, but still relevant :D Not relly. I think this is better illustrates differences between old and new: https://youtu.be/jPqwDGXxLhU i liked this one ( …

IMG_20220622_191105.jpg Tomb Raider: Legend - These early non-bargin bin cover releases are starting to get a little rare. At least where I live. Came with manual. The disc is a little bit worn, but PowerISO surface test finished all green. Neverwinter Nights 2 - A little bit disappointing that the …

Grand Theft Auto V was released in 2013 (on console)and has received numerous multiplayer DLC which is likely why the download is so large. Ideally you'd be able to only download what you need but Rockstar considers online their bread and butter for GTA so it seems ridiculous to me you'd download …

Intel says it's launched in Q2 2022, so very recently. I've only see news that it only launched in China. https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/details/discrete-gpus/arc/arc-a-series.html https://www.techradar.com/news/intel-arc-a380-desktop-gpu-goes-on-sale-but-you-shouldnt-buy-it And …

For Linux gaming, you want a full Intel system, with a recent 6-core or more CPU from the last 7-8 years, maxed out RAM, SSDs, and one of the new Intel ARC/Xe GPUs. 100% bullshit. I have a Ryzen based ful AMD PC and according to what I read on ProtonDB, I have less issues with Linux gaming than …

Apparently Sony just plugs keyword's into an algorithm and based on what the algorithm says decides wether to greenlight a movie or not. Maybe some companies are doing that with games too. A couple of years ago there was a rumor that Ubisoft does that. Looking at their games, I wouldn't be …

There is maybe one that is worse, the one some late-2000s early-teens EA games had which limited the number of installs you could make. I think Spore and Sim City had this. As does Mass Effect and it's already starting to break down. If you install the game with original retail disc and update the …

[*] Online DRM. You just don't own your games, you can't play them on your own terms. I see this as just a modern incarnation of a system which has been around since the 80's. Software has been sold as a license since the 80's which strictly speaking does provide certain limitations that legally …

I'll consider modern AAA games, preferably single player, because indies have different issues. Games are designed around quest and map markers. You don't figure out anything and you don't have to figure out anything. Once you pass to a new stage on a quest, a new blinking waypoint marker …

The more the merrier. Different games can develop issues. Also driver version matters a lot, see: https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=63&t=83315 The FX series (just like the GF4) has two revisions. The first can be used with older drivers (FX5200/5600/5800), the second are faster (FX5500/5700/ …

I have some time to waste and since I want to build a "definitive windows 98 machine" and settle (if possible) once for all the issue between gf4 and 5. You won't. Not like this. The discussion is not really about which generation is the better, but rather from which segment of the palette does the …
