That is really solid start for GoT, already at 34K concurrent players. Better than i expected. All in all it looks like Sony was right to just remove game from the stores, it had minimal impact (compared to their previous releases).

As someone who pretty much only plays singleplayer games, and enjoy games with a good story, is the Monster Hunter Humble Bundle something for me?

Or are they more of the "forever-game" variety that expects you to play them for hours upon end (with little to gain from it)?

Monster Hunter can be summed up as beat monster, get materials, make stronger equipment, beat stronger monster.
In Monster Hunter World and Iceborne at least, there is a story, but it's nothing complex, the story does what it needs to do.
Most of MHW can be done solo, and throughout the story the game isn't grindy, only the end game (after end credits) is grindy.

Guys, I'm confused. Ghost of Tsushima seems to be doing really well. But I thought Sony was playing 4D chess and self-sabotaging to justify exiting the PC market. What's going on? 🙃

I mean the whole PSN was horrible PR for sure but it's also true that GoT and Bloodborne are the games that people are looking forward to the most.

Gimme those Ghost of Sushi performance reviews. I might have some spare money at the end of the month for it...

Anyone here playing it?
=======

As I research and collect parts to build a new PC around my 4080 Super, I just HAVE to ask. What the heck is up with Processor TDW/power draw these days? Holy shit. Especially Intel...

My i7-8700k tops out at like 90W. And I thought that was a lot 6 years ago. Too high even. HOW DID IT GET WORSE?? Can't we find some happy middle ground between modern performance targets and SUCKING YOUR ELECTRICAL SOCKET DRY?? :alien:

I am downloading it but I have shit internet so I'll probably start playing it tomorrow. Let me know if you have any questions.

The thing that annoys me the most about CPUs is that they spend power and get hot for basically no reason. The CPU of my laptop would boost to its full frequency even when playing a game that comfortably hit a 60 fps cap. I ended up disabling the turbo boost because it was making my laptop sound like a jet engine for zero increase in performance.

Not playing it myself, but i have been watching someone live test it, and it seems like a very good port with performance (fsr3, dlss and frame-gen, lots of options and no shader stutter etc...), another solid one from Nixxes.

I'll be testing (though not playing much) on Linux (via Proton) shortly.

Ghost of Tsushima single-player only on Steam Deck due to PlayStation Network features

Well, here's a bit of a nuisance. Ghost of Tsushima DIRECTOR'S CUT is launching on May 16th and the developers have explained how it will work on Steam Deck but it's a mixture of good and bad news.

Sony kept store pages for GoT and Helldivers in unsupported regions until now. You can't access store pages anymore from affected regions.

Well, Ghost of Tsushima on Linux seems to run butter smooth on ultra (= all slider on far right except where hardware-specific, a.g. Xe-something...), 1440p. I'm not even on the newest drivers. Proton Experimental.

I have ~60 FPS with no upscaling, easily 80, 85 with DLLS2 Quality.

I changed plenty of options, ALT-TABed, etc. Seems solid, no tinkering required.

The options screen has a scene rendering on the right, as in.... that zombie game whose name I forget (edit: Days Gone), so you can see the visual and performance impact of the options in real time.

Cutscenes and logos are un-skippable, so that's a shame.

On the basis of those few minutes, it looks very solid.

EndeavourOS Linux x86_64
Kernel: 6.7.8-arch1-1
CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 5900X (24) @ 3.700GHz
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070

Dauntless must be one of the most poorly timed releases ever made. All right, it was an EGS exclusive so it was an uphill battle already, but it was advertising itself as being Monster Hunter on PC when it had the beta in May 2018
And then a few months later Monster Hunter World came out on PC. Like having a worst timed release is impossible

Grain of salt and all that, but this person does have sources in the Counter-Strike community so he might not be blowing smoke. At the very least I trust him more than Tyler McVicker.

Edit:



If xPaw is posting about it then I believe it's legit.
Click to expand...

Looks like the release for this is imminent huh.

According to Mcvicker they have been playtesting this with a lot of people which means its happening soon.

Looks like Valve game/release cycle is getting to 1 year at this point.

Artifact = 2018
Underlords = 2019
Alyx 2020
CS2 = 2023
Deadlock = 2024

Take a few years away because of Covid

But yea if this Deadlock thing happens in the next few months....Valve working really fast all things considered. Its impressive.

But i think someone said AC Red isn't coming to Steam anyway? So i don't gotta worry since i won't buy it. Still I'm just saying. People have asked for AC in Japan FOREVER, since the series started, they finally do it and they can't even focus on a Japanese story??

It will come, just not on day one.

Played two hours of Sushi and really liked it. Flawless PC port too. Nixxes was a brilliant purchase by Sony. To imagine, they ported almost all Squeenix games for so many years and Squeenix never picked them up...and now has to get by without them.

So I get random suggestions on my phone which is actually nice but the fanning one uses something from gamingbible and that has to be the shittiest journal site I have seen.

I don't even know how to change it so my phone uses something else but man...

"Producer Takumi Isobe and The development team of "New: The World Ends with You" We held a roundtable discussion with Square Enix's Tetsuya Nomura, Tomohiko Hirano, and Tatsuya Shindo. We talk about how the new SubaSeka collaboration came to fruition. Please take a look."

Looks like for Reynatis there was a roundtable discussion with Tetsuya Nomura.

I've been playing

And it's okay. I'm not spending too many hours in it, and it's not speedrunning my GOTY list. :surrenderblob:

I will definitely post more about it, but one of my few issues with the game is that it's aping the PS1 era... but no, it doesn't really look like it. Bit strange.


Sure, the wobbly textures (optional) and low rez post processing (also optional) give it that 90s feel... but an open world where you can see areas and distant floating islands that you can't reach until many hours later, that's not really PS1, we would be lucky to have black fog 5m in front of us. :lampblob: Also that island close to me is just a city. Full of NPCs, quests, items, doors to lockpick at night, secret passages and all. It's weird how immersive sim-like it can be at times. Even if of course, it's a bit empty and there's nowhere close to the level of interaction you can find in Morrowind and later Bethesda games.

Let's say it's a glorified version of that era. It's neat.
