ruby spear Jan 9, 2020, 12:47 PM

#

Considering Xbox Live functionality exists on PC and there are Play Anywhere titles, it makes plenty of sense.

full flint Jan 9, 2020, 12:58 PM

#

Also microsoft and windows 10...

elfin summit Jan 9, 2020, 1:38 PM

#

I wish that microsoft gives deals to Blizzard for crossplatform for overwatch.

ruby spear Jan 9, 2020, 1:43 PM

#

Nothing is stopping Blizzard from adding crossplatform

#

They don't need a deal, they can do that whenever they want.

full flint Jan 9, 2020, 9:26 PM

#

Given their previous statements I doubt it will happen

open belfry Jan 9, 2020, 9:41 PM

#

I'm pretty sure blizzard (correctly imo) balances overwatch differently on console and pc.

full flint Jan 9, 2020, 9:43 PM

#

Also hearthstone

open belfry Jan 9, 2020, 9:43 PM

#

If I remember right, an example where that is needed is torbjorn where hes turret is almost useless with keyboard and needs to be buffed and almost unstoppable with a controller and needed to be nerfed

full flint Jan 9, 2020, 9:47 PM

#

I haven’t heard of them doing that

#

But I only have it on pc and I play with controller

#

Did they? I could be wrong because that article is 4 years old

full flint Jan 9, 2020, 9:52 PM

#

It got backlash or something like that

#

Which isn’t unsurprising

plucky marsh Jan 9, 2020, 10:00 PM

#

It's a shame really

#

Some stuff on xbox is harder than PC just due to the nature of controllers

#

I'll always prefer separate balancing on console/pc.

full flint Jan 9, 2020, 10:02 PM

#

Name one thing besides something like strafe jumping that’s harder on controller

#

I’m genuinely curious

#

Don't all games on console have some form of auto-aim?

plucky marsh Jan 9, 2020, 10:03 PM

#

They come with aim assist yes, but some of the abilities I mean. Tangeebee mentioned torbj's turret which was a great example.

full flint Jan 9, 2020, 10:03 PM

#

Not all

plucky marsh Jan 9, 2020, 10:04 PM

#

No but most.

#

It's always been the way that kb/m will always beat controllers. It's been done time and time again.

#

So naturally balancing is different.

full flint Jan 9, 2020, 10:05 PM

#

It hasn’t been done time and time again. Most people are just bad with aiming on controllers

#

It’s an issue of complacency, not capability

plucky marsh Jan 9, 2020, 10:06 PM

#

They've done pros vs pros before.

full flint Jan 9, 2020, 10:07 PM

#

again, complacency

plucky marsh Jan 9, 2020, 10:07 PM

#

OK

full flint Jan 9, 2020, 10:07 PM

#

if a pro always uses controllers against controllers, or relies on an assist, that's complacency

plucky marsh Jan 9, 2020, 10:07 PM

#

That's not just the case

full flint Jan 9, 2020, 10:07 PM

#

yes, it is

#

idk why but the old halo seems different to the modern ones
also old quake

#

I mean the old quake like arena

plucky marsh Jan 9, 2020, 10:08 PM

#

Twitch shots for example

#

There's much more to it than just complacency.

full flint Jan 9, 2020, 10:08 PM

#

a game like GITS, it had no controller support specifically in the game, but allowed you to use a controller as a peripheral

#

I think quake shots are harder imo

#

zero assists, very twitchy game

#

controller users play against KBM

#

it functions fine

#

watch rocket jump ninja he done some stuff on it...

plucky marsh Jan 9, 2020, 10:09 PM

#

I'm not saying controller players can't play against PC players and win.

full flint Jan 9, 2020, 10:09 PM

#

you're saying some things aren't possible on a controller

plucky marsh Jan 9, 2020, 10:09 PM

#

I've seen it done on CS:GO & Fortnite recently actually

full flint Jan 9, 2020, 10:09 PM

#

and that's not true

plucky marsh Jan 9, 2020, 10:09 PM

#

No, that's not what I'm saying.

full flint Jan 9, 2020, 10:10 PM

#

or, I'm sorry

#

harder

plucky marsh Jan 9, 2020, 10:10 PM

#

Yes.

full flint Jan 9, 2020, 10:10 PM

#

which also is not true

plucky marsh Jan 9, 2020, 10:10 PM

#

I'm not saying this as an opinion though.

full flint Jan 9, 2020, 10:10 PM

#

nor am I

plucky marsh Jan 9, 2020, 10:10 PM

#

9/10 a kb/m player will win.

full flint Jan 9, 2020, 10:10 PM

#

it's all player-dependent

plucky marsh Jan 9, 2020, 10:10 PM

#

Ok, we'll leave that there then.

full flint Jan 9, 2020, 10:11 PM

#

ultimately that's the only place it can be left, even in games like quake champions or DUSK

#

Most console players do game on tvs to be fair

#

it's ultimately just an ego stroke or complaint to have them divided that gets thrown around

plucky marsh Jan 9, 2020, 10:12 PM

#

That's not the issue either.

full flint Jan 9, 2020, 10:12 PM

#

and as soon as a controller comes into a game with no assists on it and the player does well, someone complains they're cheating

plucky marsh Jan 9, 2020, 10:13 PM

#

Fair enough 🙂

open belfry Jan 9, 2020, 10:31 PM

#

I dont want to make it a skills argument, I think its dishonest to say the only difference is player skill. Let's ignore the very high levels, theres a reason why CS:Go was dead on arrival on console and why Call of Duty is far more popular on consoles. Game design is better when player input is taken into consideration. It matters that a K&M is snap aiming and controller is drag aiming.

full flint Jan 9, 2020, 10:44 PM

#

there's a large difference in handicaps and design points

#

as a number of games allow for snaps or flicks with a controller as well

#

CoD has a lower popularity point on PC more because of the issues in networking that they have

#

every CoD since 4 has had extreme networking issues on PC, and some even on consoles (Black Ops 1, Ghosts, etc)

#

It's just a weak argument, and has been for the entire time frame of 8th gen

plucky marsh Jan 9, 2020, 10:48 PM

#

Fair enough mate 🙂

#

I'm not going to say you're wrong.

#

Just it's a lot of people's experience, both pro and new, that kb/m will outperform controller players.

#

So we'll put it down to different opinions.

full flint Jan 9, 2020, 10:51 PM

#

there's a few pros on teams who use a controller for CSGO

#

the argument is flawed

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

plucky marsh Jan 9, 2020, 10:53 PM

#

Like I said, we're all entitled to our opinions and that one is mine. 🙂

full flint Jan 9, 2020, 10:53 PM

plucky marsh Jan 9, 2020, 10:55 PM

if we're looking at single-cores , yes

Also, depending on when AMD do launch Zen 3 Intel may still be on 14nm! AMD have gained some seriously impressive ground on Intel these past few years

opal bane Jan 11, 2020, 2:44 PM

intel are bring out 7nm in 2021

smoky flame Jan 11, 2020, 2:44 PM

Intel's 10th gen, for example is still 14nm. 11th gen said to be 10nm but we'll see. Talk of Intel delaying the launch of their 10th gen because the TDP is too high or something. 300W or something coming from their 10900K 10 core CPU

smoky flame Jan 11, 2020, 2:47 PM

#

I think Intel won't see 7nm until 2022 or 2023. They plan to go back to their old tick-tock starting with 10nm which means they launch a second 10nm CPU (10nm+) before going to a new fabrication

For me is trying to find settings which yields highest visual fidelity nd fps closest too 144

smoky flame Jan 12, 2020, 3:43 PM

#

The Division 2 at maxed setting I drop my FPS almost in half and just about see stable frame times form. Using MSI Afterburner + Rivatuner with graphs for frame rate and frame time monitoring and apparently frame time being flat means they are stable. Eyeballing it every few seconds gets annoying real fast though

that'd be like xbox telling someone who owns one of their consoles. it's a standard sale, nothing special

Can't you use the DDR4 from your old PC if you have it?

I could but it is older and is much slower. That 3200MHz kit I have listed will be overclocked further to try and reach Ryzen 3000's optimal 1:1 mode for ram - 3733MHz, CL17. Failing that I'll get to 3600, CL16

New benchmark results may show Big Navi beating the RTX 2080 Ti by a healthy 17 percent, but single data point benchmarks aren't the best way to evaluate a card in any context.

smoky flame Jan 14, 2020, 1:44 PM

one think I've noticed with AMD GPU pricing it appears there is a $120 difference per GPU. 5500 XT - $159, 5600 XT - $279, 5700 XT - $399. Going by that, if AMD launch two more GPUs (5800 XT and 5900 XT) their prices could be like so. $529 for the 5800 XT and $649 for the 5900 XT

full flint Jan 14, 2020, 1:54 PM

#

Still cheaper than 2080ti
Also you mean for Navi right?
I think the 5900XT will be more though

smoky flame Jan 14, 2020, 2:01 PM

#

could well be more expensive, no one besides AMD will know until closer to whenever pricing etc is actually announced. $649 would be crazy, especially if it turns out that is the GPU that beats the 2080 Ti in that OpenVR benchmark by 17%

Nvidia will likely have 3000 series then

smoky flame Jan 14, 2020, 2:04 PM

That would be early, although I think the 1080 was june 2016 (cannot remember exactly though)

smoky flame Jan 14, 2020, 2:11 PM

#

I hope this time Nvidia don't launch their X080 Ti successor so fast. Launch X050 -X080 first, keep a Titan in reserve then some time after the launch of the Titan launch the X080 Ti. Throw back to their 900 series schedule

full flint Jan 14, 2020, 2:13 PM

I think the X050 will have a weird name as the 1650 and 1660 did
Then super cards the year after

Surely you can use OBS?

I mean recording of clips and saving. Then uploading them to a site.

plucky marsh Jan 14, 2020, 6:06 PM

Not auto-upload as such, but what Plays.tv used to do was record my whole gameplay, then I could grab a certain amount of time and upload it to plays website.

#

Like the xbox record, but instead of the last x seconds, the whole session. From game start up to shut down.

full flint Jan 14, 2020, 6:06 PM

plucky marsh Jan 14, 2020, 6:06 PM

and it would upload to a service, plays in this case.

I can use Medal to record the last x amount of time.

what's the refresh rate of your monitor?

woeful wagon Jan 14, 2020, 6:41 PM

#

100hz

#

still tearing, it never worked properly for me

#

even with gsync it would still tear

smoky flame Jan 14, 2020, 6:43 PM

#

try capping it 3fps below. There is a guide from blur busters I follow called gsync 101. Not sure if their options also apply to gsync compatible monitors but you could try them

#

https://www.blurbusters.com/gsync/gsync101-input-lag-tests-and-settings/14/

#

another thing is Forza doesn't allow frame rate capping but there is a workaround

woeful wagon Jan 14, 2020, 6:44 PM

#

it works with the driver settings just fine

#

along with nvidia inspector

smoky flame Jan 14, 2020, 6:45 PM

#

yeah, I was just about to get there lol. I was going to make sure your drivers were most up to date then say to you to enable the max frame rate option and cap it to 97 FPS. G sync not working as it should is a bit odd though I think

woeful wagon Jan 14, 2020, 6:46 PM

#

it was only with forza to

smoky flame Jan 14, 2020, 6:47 PM

#

let me try Forza on my monitor again. My monitor has an LED that indicates when gsync is in use (red light) provided that stays red it shows to me gsync is active and in use

woeful wagon Jan 14, 2020, 6:48 PM

lol

#

followed the guide, enabled vsync in the control panel along with the 3 fps below the refresh rate

#

perfect

smoky flame Jan 14, 2020, 6:52 PM

#

vsync adds some latency but will remove the tearing. The point of a 3 fps cap below your monitor's refresh rate is so that it avoid FPS from hitting the gsync ceiling. Capping it at 100 FPS for example isn't exactly 100 fps and when it goes over that (which it will occasionally) gsync disengages or something. Pretty technical stuff

woeful wagon Jan 14, 2020, 6:53 PM

#

well the guide said to turn it on

full flint Jan 14, 2020, 6:57 PM

Hi

#

Random interjection here

#

If you’re gaming for maximum competitiveness, turn off both vsync and gsync

#

Ok have fun

woeful wagon Jan 14, 2020, 6:58 PM

#

well with my new monitor, its not optimal

full flint Jan 14, 2020, 6:58 PM

#

Doesn’t matter

woeful wagon Jan 14, 2020, 6:58 PM

#

theres only one really bad thing about my monitor, its the response time

full flint Jan 14, 2020, 6:58 PM

#

“Optimal” is an opinion

#

For me, “optimal” is the least latency possible. Both gsync and vsync introdunce it.

smoky flame Jan 14, 2020, 7:00 PM

#

another option I think would be to keep gsync and vsync as they were and find a way to eyeball frame time (not possible in FH4) and set it to a level where the frame time is 99% stable. Said to achieve the lowest latency that way, even though it lowers FPS

full flint Jan 14, 2020, 7:00 PM

#

Also vsync + gsync needed to work sounds like the monitor isn’t built very well

#

The whole point of gsync is to replace vsync

woeful wagon Jan 14, 2020, 7:01 PM

yeah i know

Well gsync isn’t a stop-all anti-tearing feature

smoky flame Jan 14, 2020, 7:02 PM

#

it appears gsync needs vsync though as I noticed tearing once not having vsync enabled even with a 141 fps cap to stop FPS from going beyond the refresh rate

full flint Jan 14, 2020, 7:02 PM

#

It also depends how well it’s built and what version of gsync it uses

#

My 240hz Monitor eliminates tearing from 165fps down to like... 30 I think

#

Anything over 165 and I simply get a reduction in tearing

#

I have it turned off completely because tearing doesn’t matter to me. I care about the smallest delay possible

woeful wagon Jan 14, 2020, 7:04 PM

#

most of the games i play sat around 80-120~ fps

smoky flame Jan 14, 2020, 7:04 PM

#

wait you have a 240hz monitor and can't have it keep tear free all the way up to 237 fps?

full flint Jan 14, 2020, 7:04 PM

#

No, gsync cant do that

#

There’s a whole lot of misconceptions around freesync/gsync

smoky flame Jan 14, 2020, 7:05 PM

#

wow, I didn't even know that until now. So in other words 240+ hz monitors aren't ideal?

full flint Jan 14, 2020, 7:05 PM

#

They can’t work that high

#

No they’re still the best in the competitive world

#

They’re effective on making it smoother, but it won’t eliminate tearing completely

smoky flame Jan 14, 2020, 7:07 PM

#

yeah but if you can't make use of gsync then what's the point? Premium money spent on a feature that cannot be used and sure competitive gamers may not care for gsync, freesyn or vsync etc but still

full flint Jan 14, 2020, 7:08 PM

#

It can be used?

woeful wagon Jan 14, 2020, 7:08 PM

with my monitor i decided to go more on the visuals than the performance

royal peak Jan 14, 2020, 7:10 PM

#

is the 60-144-240hz difference that significant.Like from one to the other

woeful wagon Jan 14, 2020, 7:11 PM

#

i know i was able to tell the difference between 60-100-120-144

royal peak Jan 14, 2020, 7:11 PM

#

and by significant i mean noticeable

smoky flame Jan 14, 2020, 7:11 PM

#

60 to 144 is quite significant. After that it sort of diminishes

woeful wagon Jan 14, 2020, 7:11 PM

#

past that it was hard

#

i can overclock my monitor to 115hz if i wanted to

royal peak Jan 14, 2020, 7:12 PM

#

Yeah thats what i thought

#

I dont think your eyes can even see stuff at 240hz

full flint Jan 14, 2020, 7:12 PM

#

You won’t notice going from 144 to 240. But going back down to 144, you will 100% notice

#

That’s bs

woeful wagon Jan 14, 2020, 7:12 PM

#

the highest ive ever seen was 165hz

#

but most of the games ran at like 100-144 fps most of the time

#

at best

full flint Jan 14, 2020, 7:13 PM

#

I’ve been playing on it long enough that I can notice (like it distracts me) once it drops down to like 190. But I have most of my games optimized so it never gets that low anymore.

woeful wagon Jan 14, 2020, 7:13 PM

unless if it was an esports title

#

then my 4790k couldent push it

my monitor can overclock to 180hz but it introduces some overly bright parts to the screen and can be a bit off putting. ASUS PG248Q

Nvidias ampere cards come out soon. Already have a friend buying my 2080ti. Should be easy enough with the next gen cards

smoky flame Jan 14, 2020, 7:17 PM

#

9900K and 2080 Ti can be bottlenecked at 1080p so no matter how much fps your GPU can throw out CPU still has to keep up and they generally can't with some games

full flint Jan 14, 2020, 7:17 PM

I mean

#

I run overwatch at 2k300 and only 300 because that’s the highest the game can go

woeful wagon Jan 14, 2020, 7:18 PM

its 400

#

you can rig the settings to go to that

#

ive always had issues getting games to go that high

Well if you could tell me how to do that please let me know

I noticed you aren't gaming at maxed settings in FH4. Not that it is a bad but there are options beyond ultra

woeful wagon Jan 14, 2020, 7:22 PM

#

yeah i know

full flint Jan 14, 2020, 7:22 PM

#

Idk if I got a really good chip or something but I have yet to have my 8700k bottleneck me

#

Usually my 2080ti caps out first

smoky flame Jan 14, 2020, 7:23 PM

#

I don't know exactly how a bottleneck plays out tbh. Like is it noticable or can one still get really good performance even under "bottlenecked" conditions? 🤔

full flint Jan 14, 2020, 7:24 PM

#

Bottlenecking isn’t too common for a CPU nowadays unless it’s a quad core, or you’re running a game that uses vulkan or DX12 api

brb getting a cup of tea

woeful wagon Jan 14, 2020, 7:30 PM

i was going to get the new nvidia cards

i think i figured out a good upgrade cycle for the gpu

#

just skip a generation

smoky flame Jan 14, 2020, 7:32 PM

#

yeah, I might be doing the same. 3080 Ti might be a bit much though. Guess we'll see soon though. Hopefully this year

#

i started saving for it

#

i have most of the money ready

smoky flame Jan 14, 2020, 7:34 PM

#

might be worth looking at AMD too though. high end Navi coming along soon. Likely before Nvidia launch their next gen GPUs and high end Navi could work out cheaper yet still perform better than the 2080 Ti

woeful wagon Jan 14, 2020, 7:35 PM

#

ill be looking at amd, but it depends on how good the 3080ti will be

#

amd could offer something better than the 2080ti, but is it better than the 3080ti type thing

smoky flame Jan 14, 2020, 7:38 PM

#

well if rumours have been anything to go by Ampere could be as much as 50% faster than Turing. Awkwardly though there was no specifics but I think that "50% faster" will only apply to RTX performance

woeful wagon Jan 14, 2020, 7:38 PM

#

oh yeah, dying light 2 is supposed to have some RTX

#

kinda makes me want to get an RTX card now but i gotta wait

hot seal Jan 14, 2020, 7:39 PM

#

yep they were going to release the game earlier but decided it would be a cross-gen title which for a game thats releasing Spring is a long wait to see the differences on next-gen.

#

may upgrade my PC in the future but no plans right now.

smoky flame Jan 14, 2020, 7:42 PM

#

I may yet give RTX another generation before I buy into, all pending how well its top end (Non-Titan card) does against the 1080 Ti. RTX performance it will of course blow it away but Nvidia have to remember not every game supports RTX or even ray tracing in general so my main focus in buying an upgrade will still be on the general compute power improvements

woeful wagon Jan 14, 2020, 7:44 PM

#

hopefully the new consoles change that a little

smoky flame Jan 14, 2020, 7:46 PM

#

1080 Ti to 2080 Ti did not meet what I had expected (40%+) so I'd like to think a two gen leap may meet what I was hoping but that was hopes in 2018 or whenever the Turing GPUs launched. I feel I have to up my performance expectations further

#

+70% (or greater) performance improvements over 1080 Ti in general compute power doesn't sound too ridiculous to expect right?

woeful wagon Jan 14, 2020, 7:48 PM

#

that would be a nice upgrade for me if it is

#

i think digital foundry said 60% performance increase would be the best time to upgrade

#

it should be that high, its been a whole gen

smoky flame Jan 14, 2020, 7:50 PM

#

yeah, I say 70% purely because of the leap in generation and expecting only 40% two generations on from the 1080 Ti Nvidia would be taking the micky for sure, especially if they keep the price the same or up it further. Give me a reason to want to buy that GPU, not avoid it!

plucky marsh Jan 14, 2020, 11:21 PM

#

Siege I play a lot

woeful wagon Jan 14, 2020, 11:21 PM

#

90% of the time i use the rockstar launcher or the windows store

plucky marsh Jan 14, 2020, 11:21 PM

#

Smite kind of has its own launcher too, not sure how that works. And FFXIV. Not tried to launch without steam

#

Maybe I'll give it a go and just use it for a few days, see how I get on.

woeful wagon Jan 14, 2020, 11:22 PM

#

i used to have steam on startup, till i realized i dont play to many of my games off of it

#

oh yeah the overwatch launcher

#

i forgot about that

plucky marsh Jan 14, 2020, 11:22 PM

#

Yeah, battle.net

woeful wagon Jan 14, 2020, 11:23 PM

#

for some reason, that launcher uses like 40-50% of my cpu everytime it has to update something

#

i just looked at some of the release dates for some games

#

coming a lot sooner than i thought

#

well i remember saying, that life is strange 2 is going to start 2020 for me

#

it did

woeful wagon Jan 14, 2020, 11:43 PM

#

i would like to build a linux gaming pc to try it out

full flint Jan 14, 2020, 11:46 PM

#

I too throw away money

smoky flame Jan 14, 2020, 11:46 PM

#

I could definitely get used to GOG. One thing needs to happen to really get me on board with it though. Silent integration. Basically have games show that are installed on the PC and be able to launch games without having the launcher where that game is installed open with it

woeful wagon Jan 14, 2020, 11:46 PM

#

or i could install it on my laptop

#

something secondary to try it out

#

i have an i3 550 i think sitting around

#

buy like a $40 gpu and there

full flint Jan 14, 2020, 11:47 PM

#

@smoky flame license verification

#

it'll always require those launchers

#

especially for their online functionality

smoky flame Jan 14, 2020, 11:48 PM

#

hmm could be it has launcher launch first time to verify beyond that (and updates) the user could have the option to run completely silent

full flint Jan 14, 2020, 11:49 PM

#

not exactly possible

#

as that'd require offline mode

#

or those platforms giving GOG access to their license verification

smoky flame Jan 14, 2020, 11:52 PM

#

yeah, there is that 😦 Maybe some day

woeful wagon Jan 14, 2020, 11:54 PM

#

i doubt it would ever happen

smoky flame Jan 14, 2020, 11:56 PM

#

as much as I like GOG I think I prefer keeping to one launcher tbh

full flint Jan 14, 2020, 11:57 PM

#

ultimately by using several launchers individually you're doing the opposite of just that

smoky flame Jan 15, 2020, 12:00 AM

#

yeah but I'd never have them all open at once. GOG means I effectively have two launchers going on anything that isn't Xbox or bought from GOG itself

woeful wagon Jan 15, 2020, 12:00 AM

#

or three

#

or four

#

if you dont close them

#

5

full flint Jan 15, 2020, 12:04 AM

#

it automatically opens them and launches the game, which can be beneficial for me since I don't have to scroll a mile in my start menu to find them

smoky flame Jan 15, 2020, 12:07 AM

#

Only reason I stick to one launcher at a time was since I bought the division on steam back when it launched I wasn't aware I required uplay as well and that annoyed me since any time I wanted to play The Division it would have required having both Steam and Uplay open at the same time. Never had that issue since

full flint Jan 15, 2020, 12:07 AM

#

all uplay games are like that

woeful wagon Jan 15, 2020, 12:07 AM

#

yup

#

its worse now since they switched to epic

#

i think the game installs twice if you have the epic version

full flint Jan 15, 2020, 12:08 AM

#

woeful wagon Jan 15, 2020, 12:08 AM

#

you download from epic, launches uplay, then uplay downloads it, plays game

smoky flame Jan 15, 2020, 12:09 AM

#

yeah, back then I wasn't aware though. I was still learning a lot about PC gaming and all the stuff. Safe to say I think I have come a long way in a pretty short space of time (4 years in June!)

woeful wagon Jan 15, 2020, 12:09 AM

#

i remember it being an issue with the division 2

#

i fully switched to pc back in like 2015

#

moved over from xbox

smoky flame Jan 15, 2020, 12:11 AM

#

I only made the full switch to PC gaming last February. Was on PS4 before getting into PC in 2016. No idea what possessed me to stick with PS4 for a little over 2 more years from getting my PC though

woeful wagon Jan 15, 2020, 12:12 AM

#

i kinda drifted back a little bit

#

i bought a ps4 pro last year to play some exclusives

#

i think i put more than 300 hours on it since i bought it

full flint Jan 15, 2020, 12:12 AM

"Think"

lol

#

that bad, huh?

woeful wagon Jan 15, 2020, 12:13 AM

#

well i had to add it up from the games i played

#

the dashboard doesnt track the hours

#

for some reason

smoky flame Jan 15, 2020, 12:14 AM

#

I put over 2000 hours into Warframe on PS4. It was pretty much the only game I really played on it and it sure wasn't going to be enough to keep me on PS4

woeful wagon Jan 15, 2020, 12:15 AM

#

the game i played the most on mine was gta online

#

i bought a year of psn + for red dead online a month before it came out

#

i dident really like it so, instead of wasting the year, i got gta 5 for like $15 on sale

#

after going threw the settings, like 90% of the features are locked behind psn+

#

like updating games automatically

full flint Jan 15, 2020, 12:21 AM

it was good, really good

most fun I've had on any game in quite some time

though, it's a slow burn at the beginning

#

@lean finch promised he'd continue it, and hasn't been heard from since

same old Kojima ways of really long, unskippable cutscenes?

full flint Jan 15, 2020, 12:22 AM

they're long though

but you'd be...bluntly....kinda an idiot to skip them

Funny is dead, this is remaining subconscious

full flint Jan 15, 2020, 12:22 AM

#

play the game subconsciously then remaining subconscious

#

I can't discuss the game with you until you do anyway

#

it only takes about 20 hours to beat if you're moving quickly and only focusing on the main objective

woeful wagon Jan 15, 2020, 12:24 AM

does the game have multiplayer?

i remember someone saying theres a hub world or something

no hub, you can't see other players

they can leave items in the world, and they show up in yours

woeful wagon Jan 15, 2020, 1:16 AM

its ok, depends on what you want to do with it

oblique ingot Jan 15, 2020, 2:07 AM

My build can play most modern games at 1080p 60fps even at high settings so I’ll stick with that

#

maybe in the future

woeful wagon Jan 15, 2020, 2:08 AM

yeah it would be fine for now

#

its about 20% faster than my laptops gpu

Regarding anyone running Windows 10 on their device
The NSA has released an official, public statement urging everyone to update their Windows devices as soon as possible. An exploit has been identified in the current version of Windows 10 that can allow malicious software to be automatically installed on your computer, under the guise of approved Windows updates. This means that very soon, hackers will be developing tools to be able to take control of and install malicious software to over 900 million PCs worldwide, with little to nothing that can be done to stop or remove the infected software due to the system believing it is from an approved Windows Update. The NSA and US Department of Defense urges everyone on Widows 10 to update their computer IMMEDIATELY, as a fix for the exploit has already been released. Again, failing to update now will put your machine at extreme risk in the future. Links to the OFFICIAL NSA statement and a detailed news report are included below for you to read.

wouldn't say Windows 10 is great. It works but it could be better imo

full flint Jan 15, 2020, 8:56 PM

#

You use pro or home?
@smoky flame

#

Pro is slightly better IMO
but not worth the extra price

#

Or just buy Windows 7 then use the free upgrade offer lol

#

If it's still active I mean

#

I think it is
but do not get home premium...

#

Why?

#

Isn't it just advanced version of home basic?

#

No it was limited to 16GB ram I think

#

professional has more

#

I think home premium support ended in 2015, professional in 2020, which is why you probably see every device with that OS...

#

Yeah mainstream was 2015 extended 2020

#

I see people either use Ultimate or Professional here

#

And Starter if their PC is potato as hell like my old laptop lol

#

Win 10 is 128 by default DANCE

#

To my knowdelge 64 bit processors can adress up to 64 exabytes of RAM or something?

#

Not that we need 64EB RAM but just asking

#

Something like that
32-bit had a max of 4

#

I remember 3,25

#

I believe the professional version of windows 7 has more max ram capacity than the standard of windows 10...

#

Also 10 Pro currently is 2TB
Yes they bumped it up

#

~~Because of Mac Pro, in case of someone installing it Win 10~~

Both Horizon: Zero Dawn and Death Stranding use Guerrilla Games’ Decima Engine, and both are coming to PC either confirmed or rumor, doesn’t seem coincidental

ruby spear Jan 17, 2020, 2:49 AM

It could mean we see Until Dawn make it to PC as well, as that also uses the engine.

And Man of Medan was multi-platform, so Supermassive may expand.

That’s what I’m hoping

If Sony finally uses PC as the neutral territory on the console competition, then I’m all for it

PC as a neutral territory makes so much sense

It’d also mean that Nintendo would be the holdouts on that same ideology. But they’ve always been a bit behind in terms of changing business practices, which isn’t always a bad thing.

With the capitalisation of 'Dream' in there, are they referring to Quantic Dream, which are already know about, or perhaps hinting at Dreams coming to PC?

Because PC is a perfect platform for Dreams.

I wonder if and when more playstation exclusive titles make there way to PC, presumably through the EGS if that will mean PC gamers who maybe already owned them digitally on PS4 could link their PS4 account and have a sort of cross save thing going on

#

That talk of Horizon Zero Dawn coming to PC really has me excited. I might even be open to giving God of War another try if it too comes to PC. Maybe the extra performance PC can offer is what these games need to really shine

Don't get your hopes up, the only reason Xbox games coming to Windows is they owned by same company. There is no way big games such as GOW and TLOU coming to PC. It's just... against the politics of PS

Ofc, I'm more than ok the idea PC being a neutral area and get all exclusive stuff. But Sony can't convince PC users to buy a PS if that's the case

ruby spear Jan 17, 2020, 6:34 AM

#

Considering MS and Sony make a loss on the hardware, getting PC players on board for a handful of exclusives doesn't benefit them that much any way, Those people don't get invested in the subscriptions and stuff, they just want the exclusives.

So why try and focus on selling them a box that they make no money on when they can just sell them the games on another platform that they already have?

selling game software to an even larger market is a heavier profit margin

Even more so if you can get a subscription out to a second market, like Microsoft did with PC Game Pass.

#

If Sony get more of their games on PC, it will help them to push whatever their next streaming service is.

reading all this gave me the biggest smile on my face in a while 😄 I like how it all sounds. The potential is most definitely there. Just the good old waiting game, which isn't so fun 😦

Same lol, waiting however...

#

Why there's no time skip

#

It feels like horizon if true will be on epic store first...

#

very doubtful

#

the only case of an SIE game on EGS is ReadySet Heroes, and that was due to Robot Ent. having a deal before the game got picked up by sony

#

Sony's 1st party games are AAA, EGS Exclusivity exempts AAA games

#

which is why Death Stranding, Cyberpunk 2077, and others will release on there, as well as on other platforms

#

What about detroit becone human?

#

Quantic Dream detached from SIE entirely

#

they're now multiplatform, and independent.

#

ah

#

thats the first I heard of that

#

Borderlands 3 is AAA...

full flint Jan 17, 2020, 7:29 PM

#

also rdr2 2 when it was egs exclusive

full flint Jan 18, 2020, 12:48 AM

#

@autumn sluice BL is more in the AA market

#

RDR2 was never EGS exclusive

#

it released on the Rockstar Launcher before either EGS a week later or Steam a month later.

Howdy folks. Anyone know how to force a game to upload saves from one machine to the cloud? Cloud saves worked when I went from my desktop to my laptop for The Outer Worlds, but it's looking like it just refuses to go backwards.

#

is the game services updated?

dense edge Jan 18, 2020, 2:45 AM

#

How can I check?

full flint Jan 18, 2020, 2:45 AM

#

open the microsoft store and check for any app updates

dense edge Jan 18, 2020, 2:46 AM

#

Game is the same version on both machines, updating the Xbox app on both now to be safe.

#

...somehow doubt this will help, though, since cloud sync worked once already.

full flint Jan 18, 2020, 2:46 AM

#

game services isn't the game

#

it's the core functions that allow XBL Connection

dense edge Jan 18, 2020, 2:48 AM

#

don't see any updates for that on either machine

#

so I'm assuming it's up-to-date on both

dense edge Jan 18, 2020, 3:08 AM

#

I ended up just uploading the save file manually to onedrive and replacing it on my desktop 🤷‍♂️

#

Is there any place I can file a bug report for this, though?

Thanks, and sent.

dark, why avoid MSI?

full flint Jan 18, 2020, 5:20 AM

#

@full flint can tell you all about that

#

The poor soul made the mistake

lusty oak Jan 18, 2020, 5:21 AM

#

I've had a MSI mobo in my PC since I built it

#

back in 2013

#

should I replace it with something else?
