That, or they go absolutely bonkers with the infinite budget at their disposal and create the ultimate anime fanservice game.

Would that mean that ileheart would be the Official Unofficial Mascot for Microsoft Gaming?
Nice! She deserves it. She's worked hard these last two years fighting against the establishment.
ileheart in Halo! Microsoft pls! ileheart could enlist Master Chief in her war against the Compile Heart management!
( She's great and as mad as a bucket of badgers! )

Have you yet to experience the joyous jubilation of Roguelike Deck Building games such as Slay the Spire or Monster Train? Why just playing them every once in a while helps speed up the passage of time
Before you know it, why it's the first E3 stream day event.
Trust your loving Uncle Birdman, he wishes what's best for you~
It only happens during E3 month? I get that all the time
The problem is for ages now the thing consumers question is "the devs", when in almost every major game release the devs have no ability to influence anything. Developers in a big or even medium company are just the digital equivalent of assembly workers or support, they can't control the teams' direction much less the games. This is obviously not true in most indie projects but indie projects also tend to be close to what they say on the tin, at least, to varying degrees.
Much like in every single other industry across our current global civilization, upper management and exec level people are the problem with bad games staying bad, crunch, and broken promises. I wouldn't be shocked if the whole "devs are to blame" thing traces back to a person of that position but no actual citation for that but it is a convenient deflection now that no company has tried to clarify the truth of.
I do think the general gaming population knows somewhere between jack shit and nada regarding how gamedev works and how hard it is. The way devs are abused on both ends of the process - customers and managers - is pretty awful.
If at least the gaming population didn't shriek in angst at delays, perhaps studios would feel better about releasing later. Those that don't force a product out the door to please shareholders at least.

Got the ERA thread about PC gaming being in the dark age on Twitter. People talking about high-end PC gaming and 3000-series.
Funny. 90-95% of my gaming time happens on PC and Im on a GTX 1080 and 1080p monitor. I have no problems with it. I mean, for christs sake my PC is this august 6 years old. I don't even need a 3080, I will wait for the 4080.

Oh, is PC Gaming dying again?
My 'F' key is going to wear out at this rate and my lawn is starting to stink from all the beer i've poured on it.
I suppose from an American, Console, AAA-centric view it's looking pretty bad as you can't easily get a top/mid-top end GPU for decent prices but unless your rig is dying on it's arse you're probably ok with your current machine for a while. Most people i know have a low/low-mid PC or laptop for league, TF2, Minecraft, WOW, use their mobiles for most of their daily or gacha type distraction games and their consoles for AAA releases or COD or FIFA.
PC Gaming and hardware is in a bad place at the moment for sure but we've been here before and came out the other side just fine.
As an extreme enthusiast who has to have the best but doesn't have "Fuck you" money or someone who wants to get in at the top/middle-end then sure it's a bit grim... but that just teaches you the best skill for PC gaming. Patience. (lol)

Post in the thread at a later hour.
My 1070 ti is still hanging in there for games at 1440p. I would like to upgrade to a 3080ti but that might take a while.
I'm sure we will all hang in there.
how do people write dumb stuff like this? I have a mid range 1060 which is still fine for literally everything,
Going Medieval doing great it seems. I like the look of it a lot, very Rimworld. Ill get it when its out of early access.Post in the thread at a later hour.
Though PC gaming may be dead by then so maybe not.
ERA does not have a clue about PC gaming. That is not new.
Fun fact: Days Gone is still in top 15 but due to numerous sales and so, it isn't way higher, if you ask me, I think it's doing better in terms of regular sales than HZD, at least the momentum is still active.
Played a few hours of Vaporum. Nice blobber is nice. It's maybe a little boring, like all blobbers, but it's like the game audibly screams at you : 'you want dungeons fam, here they are !'
By that clumsy metaphor I mean it's delivering exactly what you want it to. Good.

yeah, my 1070 is still going strong as well. And if something does happen I will look at prebuilt or a laptop till prices calm down.
then again I am playing Valheim, FFXIV and Hired Guns at the moment. Nothing I wouldsay requires a 30 series card.
Are you using any DX12 specific features? If not, you can try switching to DX11. I played WD Legion back in Nov/Dec and had no crashes on my hardware setup.

PC gaming has been dead since 1998
Half-Life was released in 1998, coincidence? I dont think so. Valve is the one who killed pc gaming, open your eyes people the truth was in our faces all this time.
I don't even have a graphics card at all and I can game!

i'd also add PowerBeatsVR to that list ... looks like shit, but you can do the most intensive training in that one ... AND you can use your own music (any music)
Youre a monster who must be stopped!
I was at that exact same position many years ago. I was playing using a Dell laptop with first generation Intel processor and even without a proper video card I still was able to play less demanding games,
Been going back into Nioh 2 and it's lots of fun. Wondering why I didn't immediatly go back to it once I got my 2070 Super fixed. Though I don't see myself sticking around for the DLC.
Also I am looking forward to not playing a game with randomized and colour coded loot. Looking at the list of the last five games I was/am playing 4 had it and I don't think I enjoyed it in any of those

OP
Nioh 2 also has these?
Try playing an arcade (or arcade style game). Shmup games are my palate cleanser.
Yeah, Nioh 2 has also randomized loot and it is by far the worst aspect of the game.
A palate cleanser is a good idea but before I went back to Nioh 2 (and started Xenoblade Chronicles DE on Switch) I already played Portal 2 as a palate cleanser. And before that also two loot games. I just think I need to approach what to play next more carefully and go for a few RPGs that don't have randomized loot.
No no, I meant the color coded part. Does it put categories like "Epic" and "Legendary" on items?

Looks great from the demo footage i've seen. Totally doesn't deserve the bad score it gets.
... and youtube has the series. There's a problem though, it's probably not as good as you remember it. Look at this dude he's obviously been stealing kid's sweets 'cos they're stuck all over his face and yet they misspelled the title as "Cyberhunt". smdh.
Customers have no control and no influence over such decisions. Corporations are the ones throwing developers into the meat grinder.
There's a reason why Ubisoft's logo looks like swirling toilet water.
