  1. AAA's Doom

    Nicely put together. Lots of very good points, generally well researched. But I noticed two points I'd like to put my cent on (two cents nowadays is getting too expensive, gotta save where we can). First AAA Game To say that "Modern AAA" started with Assassin's Creed is debatable (unless of...
  2. Ubisoft follows through on its promise that its customers don't own its games

    They are right though, I don't own their games, and I am indeed very happy about that.
  3. HELLDIVERS 2

    You've misinterpreted what I meant in the context of the Helldivers 2 PSN account linking fiasco. What I meant is that once a product is sold, leaving the consumer alone simply means to not force them to do anything besides being able to use the product. Whether or not the product needs further...
  4. HELLDIVERS 2

    "[...]and we'll keep you updated on future plans." Future plans for what, linking to a PSN account "differently"? That sounds fishy to me. Watch them try it again in some fashion in a few months. I wonder if companies actually understand what their job is, and when the job is done. 1) You...
  5. HELLDIVERS 2

    The true problem is indeed for the people in countries where linking to PSN is impossible. They should be getting some type of alternative way to play the game, or get refunded; because in those specific cases they're literally unable to play a game they've purchased (and is still active, etc...
  6. What are you playing nowadays? Share yo' thoughts.

    Just wanted to chime in regarding DOOM, 'boomer' shooters (hate this term, just like "shmups", with a passion) and modern FPSes 'by comparison'. Now fair warning: I'm on DOOM Defense mode right now, everything that follows is not for anyone remotely thinking that DOOM is "outdated" or "bad"...
  7. Alright, I've exhausted all my options. Anyone dealt with the audio crackling/popping in games like Red Dead Redemption 2 and Cyberpunk 2077?

    I'm not experiencing any audio cracking and/or popping in games. Now the stuff below will most likely not help but... just in case, I'll take the time to share. I do, however, experience audio popping when watching (and well, listening) to YouTube videos. Not 100% of the videos, mind you. But a...
  8. Nintendo killed Yuzu (Switch emulator) and Citra (3DS emulator)

    Another emulator will take its place, or will be made for the next Nintendo system. And then Nintendo will do the same to that new emulator and its creator(s). Then another emulator will pop... It's a cycle.
  9. Star Wars Dark Forces remaster

    Yep, looks amazing considering the source material. I mean it's Nightdive Studios, they've done some miracles at this point (the Shadow Man remaster is sublime, so were both Turoks and PowerSlave). In the video, at around 13:50 it's important to pay attention to the Tick Rate / Refresh Rate...
  10. Most anticipated 2024 games

    Alright so, watched the Elden Ring DLC trailer a moment ago (woke up just for it). It more than confirms my suspicions: I will keep playing this game for at least another year or more. I'm too tired to give comments about the DLC from the trailer stuff, other than to say that I'll need to go...
  11. Most anticipated 2024 games

    Nice, ty for the heads up!
  12. Weirdest Hideo Kojima game yet?

    I think that Kojima is basically a movie director 'stuck' in the gaming industry. His games are weird, but I'd rather watch them, than play them. The last Kojima game I liked was MGS2, never really was interested by anything else from him since then. I recall just watching the cutscenes from...
  13. Tomb Raider 1-3 Remaster

    To each their own, to me it's very per-game specific. Some prefer this, some are neutral and would play either way. It's about choices. And in this particular case this isn't a matter of "bolting RTX" with set-in-stone effects all across the game. It's RTX Remix, which comes in with a ton of...
  14. Tomb Raider 1-3 Remaster

    Just thought I would share this, since it's on the topic of the original Tomb Raider games (not the Remasters though, but maybe this could also be applied to the Remasters): (Do note that RTX Remix is - for now anyway - limited to bringing the RT effects to DX8 and DX9 games only)
  15. Discussion The 2024 Games Thread

    Still playing Elden Ring (with a Randomizer mod). And still waiting for the DLC. I'm also playing some Warhammer Darktide (bought it about 2 months ago, so it's still pretty recent for me). And I plan on actually finishing Witcher 3 at some point this year (played it a solid 50 hours before, but...
  16. Upcoming RTS games

    I love what they've done with the C&C Remaster, I go back to it regularly. If only they could, or wanted to, doing the same treatment for Tiberian Sun (A.K.A., C&C 2) would be amazing since it's my all-time favorite of the franchise; and among my top RTS games ever. Homeworld 3 could be...
  17. What are you playing nowadays? Share yo' thoughts.

    I've been on a Shoot 'em Ups Exploring Spree lately, haven't touched that genre in ages (with the sole exception of Cuphead about 2 years ago, which I absolutely loved btw; the soundtrack alone is enough to love the game). By checking on Steam I was actually pleasantly surprised, not to say...
  18. Carmack and Romero on the 30th anniversary of Doom

    Very nice. I still remember the first times I've seen DOOM. The actual first time I played it was in some electronics store in a mall (I do believe in retrospect that it was the Shareware version) while accompanying my father. I was maybe 10 or 11 years-old or so, and like many at the time it...
  19. Discussion Fallout 3/NV fan tries FO4 for the first time, and finds disappointment.

    Sounds like you actually played a Bethesda game without mods. You have some mega balls of steel, sir.
  20. Most anticipated 2024 games

    Elden Ring DLC is the only thing that matters to me for next year.
  21. Poll: Do you care about ray tracing / upscaling?

    I don't really care about Ray Tracing, but I do care about Upscaling. With Upscaling I can potentially increase performance in demanding games. With Ray Tracing nothing is 'added' to my experience of a game, and it can severely impact performance. I'd argue that Upscaling methods and tech is...
  22. Question Persistent "Can't read from source file or disk" issue

    Hey guys. So I'll try to make this relatively short and concise. 1) Running Windows 11, updated. 2) Got a new SSD drive, M.2 WD Black 850, works well, checked for errors, all is green, nothing wrong (newly formatted, recognized in Windows). 3) Now trying to Cut / Paste various files that are...
  23. Tomb Raider 1-3 Remaster

    It's neat, gives a decent reason to revisit the early TR games for sure. I, for one, will stay away. I tried them all back then in my PS1 years and I think it was enough. I liked TR3 the most out of the original TR trilogy. The modern ones were good, the 2013 reboot and Rise. I skipped Shadow...
  24. Holy COW... please use a controller for games meant for controllers. WOW.

    Very situational for me. I've started on consoles (NES) in December 1991 (Christmas), remained exclusively a console player, played on controllers only until basically the Dreamcast when I finally got myself its Keyboard + Mouse for web browsing (it was the beginning of KB + Mouse for me). From...
  25. NieR Automata. What in the actual F?

    I never played it, only heard about it, seen some gameplay clips and obviously seen the 2B character's "popularity" rising some years back (going in other games as a 'Guest' type character for example). From what I heard the gameplay wasn't exactly the main reason as to why it 'worked'. I don't...
  26. Starfield - The successor to Freelancer?

    BioWare wouldn't approach Starfield's multitudes of systems on systems on systems even if their life depended on it. The 'old' Mass Effect trilogy isn't doing 1/5th of what Starfield is attempting to do. To me Mass Effect already shat on itself with ME3, and that game was itself its own poor...

  28. Question Help resolving CPU Fan Error (Update: problem semi-fixed)

    Hey guys, got the notification of replies to this thread but I had completely forgotten about it. First, thanks all for taking some of your time to help and give some advice; it is appreciated. Now, this issue was fixed, solution was rather simple: I bought another fan. The fan I bought was...
  29. Question Help resolving CPU Fan Error (Update: problem semi-fixed)

    I thought so for a moment too but..small update to this situation: 1) I tried to use the OPT_FAN header for the 'main' fan, and unplugged the 2nd extra fan (just left it unplugged for the test). Result: the main fan actually works on the OPT_FAN header. 2) Alright, so I thought... "wtf" ... I...
  30. Question Help resolving CPU Fan Error (Update: problem semi-fixed)

    Hey guys. I recently bought a Noctua NH-D15S chromax.black cooler, here is a direct link for reference (official website): https://noctua.at/en/nh-d15s-chromax-black It comes with one fan already placed in the center, out of the box. So I installed the cooler properly, for a start; so...
  31. Review Zen4 3D review thread

    Let me ask you something simple here: https://www.amd.com/en/processors/ryzen Tell me: do you see - anywhere - on their official page, where they'd say: 1) We're offering the 7900X3D and 7950X3D models BUT - by the way guys - only the model that's not available yet will have actual full 3D...
  32. Review Zen4 3D review thread

    Alright so, I think I'm 'calling it a night' on my tests. I believe I've done all I could have, and as of now I think I've reached what I would consider an 'acceptable' overall system operation (I.E. how the frequencies behave based on what I do, which apps I use, games I use, etc; and based on...
  33. Review Zen4 3D review thread

    Alright so, a bit of update on the things I've done so far: 1) Tried to temper with AMD's Ryzen Master tool to activate PBO from there (was On, in the BIOS, but showed as Off in Master... more weird things, right? Why not). 2) The above failed, just trying to activate PBO from Ryzen Master...
  34. Review Zen4 3D review thread

    Well, according to their Average / Max 7900X3D chart where they tested a bunch of games, the speeds vary between 4.9Ghz to 5.2Ghz. In my case (yes I tested in games quite a lot by now), in games, the clocks vary between 4.7Ghz to very rarely going to 4.9Ghz, and extremely rarely reaching...
  35. Review Zen4 3D review thread

    Alright so I checked that AI Features thing in the BIOS, didn't have my tablet with me to just take a picture of the monitor but basically the gist of the information it this: ----------------------------------------- P0 Frequency = 5023Mhz P0 VID = 1.184v Cores 0 to 11, then CCD0 and CCD1...
  36. Review Zen4 3D review thread

    Alright so I finished my build, it's up and running (Windows 11 installed). So, recap: - ASUS X670E-F (currently on latest BIOS, version 0922* ... more on that one below) - Air-Cooled 7900X3D (using a Noctua NH-U9S cooler with an extra, 2nd Noctua fan mounted) - G.Skill 32GB @ 6000 CL30 (works...
  37. DEAD ISLAND 2

    Looks good enough for me. It seems to be a very action-oriented zombie apocalypse, and I'm ok with that. I'll wait and see how the release version does (bugs, issues, etc) before going in. But I'll keep an eye on it.
  38. Question Zen 4 builders thread

    Alright, the puppies are finally together. It took 6 days to receive the CPU but it's there, finally (*it departed from the U.S. first, and meteorological conditions probably factored in the delay, should have normally taken 3 days max; but I was patient and didn't sent any questions or...
  39. What are you playing nowadays? Share yo' thoughts.

    I know where you're coming from to have this perception (of the 'lack' of difficulty). You happen to be playing the "easiest" way to play the game, it's how I played it too on my first [full] playthrough, namely: Long Range (Magic / Casting). Without knowing anything about the game I actually...
  40. Question Zen 4 builders thread

    Yeah, one of my friends will get some of my current system's components; I still have to contact him about what he needs but I've been giving him my 'previous system' stuff for a couple of years now (well, "giving" I.E. he buys from me but I sell him very cheap; I've known him since my...
