My plans haven't changed. I'll pick up SR Reboot when it hits Steam. Hopefully they'll actually patch it by then.

Agreed 100%
Is the price of these new GPUs bad? Yes, it sucks, but you take the bad with the good.
PC gaming's never been better.
Can't wait to have my 4090 to play Vampire Survivors 1.0
Diofield tomorrow. Want to play it. Don't want to spend money
Jeez, Square in the next few month will be expensive.
And as they are big piece of shit who controls their keys firmly, no key sellers. So you pay high with a GMG discount or you wait months for when they remember they have the game and discount it.

"Each character frame is physically embroidered "
sounds like lots of effort for something i didnt notice at first watch of the trailer

sounds like the puzzle design might be too obtuse for my taste. Oh well, I love Giger, so I'll give it a shot at some point even if I need a walkthrough

sadly this doesn't sound like what I expected, it's moved to a "wait for reviews" for me
finally ^^
now, time to wait for rcg 2

tbh i am in the exact opposite camp , i was afraid its gonan be too walksimmy or too shooty :-D
this news pleases me to no end
Not sure I agree, it is when they switched to arm that it actually became a capable gaming machine. Everything that was on x86 works on arm through rosetta. It is only the switch from 32 to 64 that still has many older games not working.

Buying a Mac to game is like buying chocolate and expect to get healthy.
Sure you may feel a sudden burst of energy, but you will get fat and it's not good for you.
Sure you may feel a sudden burst of energy, but you will get fat and it's not good for you.
Then you should read up on chocolate, because in the right amount its actually healthy for you!
But yeah no one is buying a Mac for gaming, one buys a Mac for daily life and productivity, doesn't mean one doesn't want to game on it too, even with my steam library of Mac games, I will always have something play. However I do want it to be better, both for it to be more friendly to games and dev and steam supporting it better, because the hardware is fantastic.
Considering the price, hardware, and popularity of Macs their gaming capabilities should be far greater than they actually are

Game is in the red even with the EGS exclusivity, get fucked.
Heard consistently great things about it and really enjoyed the demo when it was available on Steam, but haven't gotten around to playing the full game yet.
btw, if folks like indie narrative games, don't sleep on Beacon Pines, out tomorrow. Early reviews are very positive and the demo was great

My instinct tells me this is going to be one of the best games in 2022. Bought! Thanks for the heads-up.
Edit: Indies performance strikes again! GPU is constantly at 99% when playing on Deck. Need to wait for a patch...

I figured I'd give Crusader Kings 3 a shot (from the monthly Humble), but good god, the loading time is insane. To launch the game to main menu or tutorial map takes upwards of 5 minutes. I don't know if every Paradox published game has contracts stating they have to have crazy load times but this beats out Stellaris and Cities: Skylines by quite a bit and that's with no DLC or mods to load.

NVIDIA Details GeForce RTX 4090 Founders Edition Cooler & PCB Design, new Power Spike Management
NVIDIA detailed the design of its GeForce RTX 4090 Founders Edition graphics card in a briefing with us today. While the new Founders Edition looks very similar to the RTX 3090 Ti Founders Edition, NVIDIA says it has made several changes to its design. The metal outer frame now comes with a...
The Logitech G thing is weird.
$350USD is just too much.
Not sure who there target audience is, but I'm guessing it's for more "casual people"?
From a marketing standpoint, it is going to be sold at retail stores and will even have a colorful display at stores. From the sounds of it, it will have a promo tied to Xbox at stores, so that will only help it.
But $350!!!!?? I'm guessing people will think it's an Xbox Mobile game console.
Also it's dumb how Bungie won't let you play Destiny on Linux.

ICYMI, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 12GB Uses 192-bit Memory Bus
Amid the fog of rapid announcements and AIC graphics card launches, this little, interesting detail might have missed you, but the new GeForce RTX 4080 12 GB graphics card announced yesterday; features a memory bus-width of just 192-bit, which is half that of the RTX 3080 12 GB (384-bit). The...
The new 40 series are kind of like... giant rip offs for more than the obvious pricing reasons. They're like intentionally misleading information wise.
I don't really have anything nice to say about the 4XXX cards, except that I'm glad the power envelope didn't get worse. Nvidia and AMD really need to cut down on power draw with next iterations, for the sake of the environment and for electricity bills. I'd like to see the power of a 4080 at half the power draw ideally.
Otherwise, the rest of the news is shit. Those prices are nuts, especially in these shaky economy times. I absolutely don't understand the folks jumping ship to consoles all of a sudden though lol. 3xxx Cards are gonna plummet, most already have, and their still more powerful than current gen consoles.
Plus I think we can't rule out a price crash for the 4xxx cards as well. Depends on two things I'd guess. AMD, and whether or not Nvidia sees an acceptable adoption rate at the current MSRP.

I think there is no reason to be found in the 'move to console'. Tech purchases can be very irrational.
I won't do it because I won't be robbed blind by game prices, but it sure is tempting to not play into Nvidia's hand and help them clean up their 30xx stock.
There is also the matter of the shader cache issue that comes back regularly.
But yeah, kneejerk reaction, irrational logic, platform warring, there are plenty of explanations.

Unless RDNA3 offers good value or you're willing to buy in the used market, building a new PC is becoming as prohibitively expensive as anti-PC gaming people always made it out to be. Is kinda funny that now the new entry-level for PC gaming might be the Steam Deck lol.
The 4070 has to offer better than 3080ti performance, for like 600$ for it to become at least a somewhat decent value proposition. If not, then skip Nvidia entirely.

Not to mention that people who say buy a 30xx they are lowering in price are talking about their market. In France I still must budget 860+ euros for a 3080 and 970+ for a 12go version. It's asking for a huge sum for older gen components.
And I'm talking Amazon prices, not traditional retailers.
Buying a console I wouldn't feel like begging, I'm not Nvidia sextoy (but yeah, there are huge downsides).

Guess it depends on principles and what you're willing to give up too. The only benefit consoles have atm is price, but the trade-offs are just too much.
Etc... Probably missing a few even.
Granted the weight of these things is variable per person, but I will never subject myself to it ever again.
This is not even factoring having to rebuild your games library in a new ecosystem. Are you actually saving money in the long term with all the added BS?
- Closed ecosystem
- No key sellers/digital competition
- Shaky backwards compat, which is neither guaranteed nor extensive
- Paying for online and BASIC features (Like cloud saves)
- No more mods, no more cheats. You relinquish ownership of the files on your system.
- Game settings dictated to you
- Loss of diversity in controller methods

Sure
I myself would pick those as my big issues
- No key sellers/digital competition
- Shaky backwards compat, which is neither guaranteed nor extensive
- Paying for online and BASIC features (Like cloud saves)
Sure
Why go to that extent, the old PC isn't self destructing
No, far from it. The thing, maybe irrational, is that the more GPU or other components raise in price, the less the difference.Are you actually saving money in the long term with all the added BS?
But yeah, just seeing console game prices is making me teary eyed, I'm not advocating for consoles, the situation is just plain shitty.

Another con : you want VRR ? Buy a new TV
I have the 2018 Bravia and Sony added the function to the 2019 one.
Or just use console on a monitor?edit -

Oh, good point. It's a possibility I guess. But for a long time the PS5 only fed 1080p to monitors, right ? Wonder if that has changed.
And not to be too picky, but I like to couch game with my consoles.
For the anecdote, I have another very personal issue with consoles and TV... my cat is not used to big screen and attack them
The 4080 cards are a terrible deal indeed. At least the 4090 is a beast with all the raytracing cores and teraflops. That is a good investment worth building a new PC with because it will last a very long time. AAA junk takes so long to make these days and everything cost so much. I think a rig with a 4090 will last you the next 7-8 years lol. Maybe in 2030 Valve will release Half-Life 3 or some new VR game that will require more power than that card. I don't see the new Witcher or wtvr other UE5 game doing much to it. And even the new GTA 6 is supposedly crossgen lol. Everything will run like butter on this thing.
The biggest reason I want a 4090 right now is Starfield mods. Maybe Stalker2 if it turns out to be very good. Those 2 games don't even have a release date anyways. So yea otherwise that card is a waste of money and electricity. The 4060 and 4070 cards will be a pretty good jump for the forseeable future in the RTX/DLSS/power space for most PC gamers next year. I'm guessing 400$ and 600$ prices for them. The cheaper 4050 laptops will do good work too for the casual crowd. The Deck and AMD alternatives will cover everything else.
PC gaming is in pretty good shape right now imo.
Consoles won't be worth it until PS5 is slimmed down and going for 300$. At that point I can forgive all the bs prices, paywalls and limitations. Xbox is all about Gamepass so the value there is entirely subjective. Probably best for college students with a lot of time to game and not so much a living room device.
And Nintendo needs to hurry up with the Switch 2. They have the most potential out of all the console companies but not with the current hardware.
