My 1070 didn't last on 550

Lol

[slim quiver]

That’s why I have a 1000 W PSU lmao

[solid spear]

you have to pay for PS Plus on top of almost always having $60 games w/no sales and do you really just want to game or do you wanna do homework/office work do you wanna have more then 1 monitor etc etc

[slim quiver]

Yeah it’s a very common funny misconception

[solid spear]

and upgrades dont happen usually dont happen for 3 years

[arctic grove]

Hahah nooo what happened, your PSU?

[slim bough]

I have a 3060ti and I run almost any game over 144hz on ultra 1440p… a 1080 ti can’t do that

[slim quiver]

How do people think a 350 dollar card will compare to a 900 dollar card

[fair rain]

Listen new consoles are insane bang for buck, that's why they are sold at a loss

[blissful pond]

will my 4 year old 1070 run it™

[arctic grove]

Yeah, better be safe

[vocal tusk]

30 series power target is insane. thankfully undervolting is super easy. I have my 3080 running at 2050Mhz core clocks using 270W...vs the 340 it was using before

[fair rain]

If it was normally priced the consoles would be like $700-$850

[solid spear]

IMO the value prop on a PC is leagues higher then a PS5.

[arctic grove]

The card was fine but my PSU died 2 days into my PCs life, I went to a 750 and it's been 4 years strong

[slim quiver]

What do you mean? I literally had a 1080ti just before my new rig and I played on 1440p 144hz and everything ran very well

[hidden sand]

Imagine paying for a game that's 60 usd and come to find out you can't even play it without buying access to internet you already pay for
Paid online service is the dumbest shit to come out of consoles

[fair rain]

But Sony and Microsoft sell at a loss and make all their money from selling games

[slim bough]

TI and reg is big difference

[arctic grove]

^

[slim quiver]

You’re also no longer even comparing the base 3060 to the 1080ti. You’re now saying the 3060ti

[shell ermine]

There are giant sales every month. BFV is currently selling for $5 for example.

The utility argument might have held water in 2013, but not today. Most people use their phones as their primary internet device and most schools and places of work provide a laptop on loan.

[slim bough]

And I mean new titles

[solid spear]

my point as to why there are literally no sales

[solid spear]

not as big as steam sales

[arctic grove]

Printers and consoles sell at a big loss

[slim bough]

Well I have one lol u talked about 3060 for base

[solid spear]

not remotely close

[slim quiver]

Which one do you have, the 3060 or the 3060ti

[arctic grove]

Ohh, okay I got it I have a 1660 Ti with a 650W PSU

[slim quiver]

They’re two different cards

[vocal tusk]

A 3060ti is a LOT more powerful than a 3060 though...using that as a logical justifications makes zero sense.

[shell ermine]

Steam sells a ton of bloatware and asset flips to boost its sale numbers, big titles go on sale every month on PS5, sometimes very deep sales

[fair rain]

PC has amazing sales, I got the civilization 6 + all dlc bundle (originally $225+) for like $50 last year

[slim bough]

3060ti I’ll send my rig in a channel that I can post. I just built it

[solid spear]

OK BRO you literally ask me if you should get a PS5 or custom build a PC and you are literally arguing against me when i tell you my opinion if you are leaning that far towards a PS5 then just buy a PS5

[arctic grove]

One day I'll upgrade to the highest cpu and gpu, one day

Yeah, I was surprised as I got the recommended power but mayve just been a bad unit

[slim quiver]

Then why are you telling @vocal tusk and i that the 1080ti isn’t comparable to a base 3060

[arctic grove]

It was a Corsair

[vocal tusk]

https://youtu.be/wSToywOv5uA

[slim quiver]

We never said it’s comparable to a 3060ti

[slim bough]

It’s in #screenshots-and-clips

[solid spear]

what?????? examples of bloatware pls

[vocal tusk]

Look at the perf difference from 3060 > 3060ti there

Its 30% in some games

[slim bough]

I didn’t tell him anything?

[slim bough]

3060ti to 3070 is less than 20% loss

[arctic grove]

It isn't bloat ware as much as it is shit games or overpriced software

[slim quiver]

[hidden sand]

I mean with the size of steam this is bound to happen, doesn't make steam lesser of a service

[slim bough]

That’s why I went with 3060ti

[shell ermine]

A state of the art gaming PC is just not a sound investment.

[fair rain]

Steam got PlayStation and all future Xbox series x games on it

Masterrace store

[arctic grove]

I have a r5 2600 non-x and a 1660 ti and I really, really want to upgrade to a 5600x and a 3060 ti cause I saw benchmarks and the fps made my haw drop, honestly

It's a sound investment if you play a lot and will use it for years to come

[flint jay]

If you do other work on it which you can then it sure is

[slim bough]

Yessir

It runs very smooth

[shell ermine]

Not at current scarcity prices

[hidden sand]

Spider-Man never coming to PC makes me very 😔

[slim bough]

That’s the exact build I have

[solid spear]

but they get taken down really fast.

[flint jay]

But if your getting a gaming PC and you only game on it, then that's an L

[pliant tapir]

When can you Download the preload for the beta on playstation?

[arctic grove]

I'm happy for you

[slim bough]

Unless u can use it for other things

[arctic grove]

Is a poor choice*

[vocal tusk]

3060 is nice, but if you have the option for a slightly more expensive 3060ti...get it instead.

[slim bough]

Grinded 3 years for it, payed off well

[honest jolt]

5th

[arctic grove]

^^^^

[slim bough]

Big facts

[flint jay]

I've been trying to play it for ages, I played until the first part on PS NOW and I had to get a PS4 controller for it. Then I buy the controller, it arrives and they take it off -_- worst timing ever

[pliant tapir]

Ok

[shell ermine]

Huh

[fair rain]

Meh could care less about spiderman

[vocal tusk]

Even so...even now a 1080ti is a great GPU

[arctic grove]

Here stuff is inflated A LOT, like A LOT and when I add the gpu to the cart I go out of budget but I'm waiting for 4000 series and 6000

[fair rain]

I like violence, not children games

[flint jay]

It's a pretty cool game

Swinging physics are on point

[shell ermine]

The question is do you need it to be state of the art to do those other things?

[flint jay]

Fun too

[hidden sand]

Games being held back by exclusivity deals is the about the lamest shit

[slim bough]

I had to get a prebuilt for that reason, fuck waiting till 2023

[flint jay]

The GTA SA mod for it is crazy too, way better made than most stuff for GTA V

[slim bough]

At least for me I need the power for CAD and my engineering courses

[slim quiver]

Some people like higher quality and that requires higher quality parts

[fair rain]

God of war is apparently coming to steam next, it was leaked in Nvidia GeForce app datamine

[shell ermine]

W11 fucks over prebuilts now

[limpid anchor]

If I buy ps4 version of 2042 and download it on ps5, then what is different between $10 price

[slim bough]

It’s very demanding

[arctic grove]

Oh hell nah monkaS

[flint jay]

Releasing a game as an exclusive first, then bringing it to PC is such a scam

[hidden sand]

Spider-Man is not really a childs game unless you're talking about Friend Or Foe, or something lol

[vocal tusk]

Get gold edition and you get both PS4 and PS5 versions

If you werent aware

[flint jay]

It's great but like imagine someone buying a console just for that game and it ends up they didn't have to

It's slightly scummy

[shell ermine]

See, that's something that makes sense.

Using the "I need to do homework on Google docs or jerk it to some spicy videos" excuse for your other uses for a state of the art PC doesn't hold water

[arctic grove]

Oh damnnn I'm on PC but really?that's good

[slim bough]

I made upgrades to it and addressed the regular prebuilt issues so it’s a nice system

[fair rain]

Well who cares if it's like 3-5 years after it released on console

[limpid anchor]

No I just wanna know if I buy ps 4 version and download it on ps5, what is different

[hidden sand]

Releasing games for a single console only is lame asf by itself

[vocal tusk]

PS4 version is cut back maps, visuals and limited to 64 player games vs 128

[stone epoch]

Since when has gaming ever been a "sound investment" it's a luxury, you don't buy a super car because its a reliable investment, you buy its cause you can afford it and its fun as fuck

[tribal wyvern]

3 days

[flint jay]

Yeah but it makes sense

[fair rain]

Sony in the business to make some money, and Xbox gonna make bank selling all of their series x exclusives on steam as well

[limpid anchor]

Even if I play ps4 version on ps5?

[slim quiver]

Good analogy

[stone epoch]

If you want to spend the money on a top of the line gaming PC go for it, if you cant afford it or dont wanna spend the money dont

[vocal tusk]

Yes

[fair rain]

Then again, Microsoft owns windows so it makes sense to release on PC as well

[slim quiver]

There’s no need to buy a 70K car

[vocal tusk]

You would be playing the PS4 game in back compat on the PS5

[slim quiver]

You just need to get to point A to point b

But people like nice cars

[slim bough]

Fax

[slim quiver]

So they pay for what they want

[shell ermine]

Might sound odd, but entertainment is a necessity, not a luxury

[slim quiver]

It’s preference

[flint jay]

PS4 just recently got emulated didn't it

[arctic grove]

Does anyone know when GPUs, CPUs, chips and the next-gen consoles are gonna come in stock?

[flint jay]

Someone dropped a emulator for it

[stone epoch]

No, its not

[high fractal]

2 years

[slim quiver]

Entertainment isn’t a necessity

[slim bough]

Yes but high quality at the best frames isn’t…

[shell ermine]

Try living your life with zero entertainment

[arctic grove]

Ohh monkaS

[slim quiver]

That’s impossible

[shell ermine]

I'll come visit you in the mental hospital when you break down

[delicate shoal]

lol

[flint jay]

Will you come visit me too

[slim quiver]

Being entertained is a state of emotional satisfaction

[shell ermine]

Hence entertainment is a necessity

[arctic grove]

Hah true

[slim quiver]

But you don’t need entertainment to live

[stone epoch]

Lmao first off video games are not the only source of entertainment in the world

[slim quiver]

Your body will not shut down if you’re bored

[slim bough]

Yea

[vocal tusk]

Maybe yours wont 😄

[delicate shoal]

going for a walk is entertainment

jacking off is entertainment

[flint jay]

Mfker said going for a walk

What is this

[slim bough]

Imo if u can afford it, by all means. If u can’t, deal with it or get a worse system.

[slim quiver]

Gross and inappropriate

[slim bough]

Done

[shell ermine]

You'll lose your sanity and yes you can die from a lack of a will to live

[flint jay]

Who goes for a walk

[arctic grove]

[delicate shoal]

waaa?

[flint jay]

Are you 80 years old

[slim bough]

..

[stone epoch]

Second off, im what im saying is that judging what a person uses to game based off necessity is a flawed argument

[slim quiver]

I don’t think this is something that can be proven scientifically lmao

[fair rain]

Life is definitely more depressing with zero entertainment

[slim bough]

Having low frames or high frames won’t cause u to that point💀💀💀

[delicate shoal]

u know people live in the woods with no internet and shit right

[slim bough]

Yea

[fair rain]

Entertainment is a necessity for mental health I'd say, but not for living

[delicate shoal]

are they all suicidal

[flint jay]

Having emotional satisfaction is a necessity but gaming isn't

[arctic grove]

What theee

[shell ermine]

Sound mental health is a necessity for living

[stone epoch]

If someone has plenty of disposable income and whats to buy a GTX Infinity or whatever the hell the hell PC gamers use they can, if they dont feel like spending that much money on it they dont have to

[delicate shoal]

are Alaskans suicidal cuz no bideo game 😢

[flint jay]

Isn't that pretty obvious???

[fair rain]

Their quality of life is definitely dogshit compared to ours

[high fractal]

Ps5 better than pc

[flint jay]

Why do people think that when someone criticises someone's buying decisions it suddenly means they're banning them from buying stuff

[stone epoch]

Apparently not to some people arguing about the necessity of a top of the line PC

[slim quiver]

I think that’s a little far fetched

[slim bough]

My 1060 and i7 worked just fine. I wanted better graphics and frames so I upgraded. My old setup didn’t make me suicidal 💀

[slim quiver]

We probably shouldn’t assume to know how people feel about their lives in comparison to others

[slim bough]

Depends if it’s shit. A decent pc is better than ps5

[hidden sand]

Being happy is a form of entertainment
Technically without ANY entertainment you would only be negative, I doubt anyone would survive that
But this is getting far fetched and I'm just being silly anyway

[vocal tusk]

Do NOT click....This is a graphic image. You have been warned

[arctic grove]

Hahahaha

[slim quiver]

That is a fair point

[delicate shoal]

all you have to do is not sit in your room staring at your wall

[fair rain]

Well living in an igloo and eating whale blubber is not as a good life as living in a gas heated home with comfortable silk beds and having steak and vegetables

[flint jay]

You can't live a fulfilling life without some sort of balance like having a partner, going places with friends, gaming, watching something occasionally

[high fractal]

Ps5 same power sa 2080

[slim quiver]

1 FPS below 60

[vital vale]

i cliked

[flint jay]

If all you do is work you will be depressed

[slim quiver]

For some people that’s not necessarily true

[slim bough]

Ok💀💀💀

[vital vale]

welp, no shit

[slim bough]

No it dosent

[fair rain]

Because they haven't had the luxury of living that

[arctic grove]

What specs did the xsx and ps5 have?

[slim bough]

2080ti =\ ps5

[fair rain]

All they know is living in the harsh environments by themselves

[slim quiver]

Some cultures that live in arctic environments actually embrace where they are and find their sense of community as what they live for

[delicate shoal]

but they dont have xbox so they must want to die

[slim quiver]

Assuming these people are not happy is very far fetched

[arctic grove]

I'm so glad I could of been able to pre-ordee this game, I got soooo tired of the old ones honestly

[slim bough]

Tbh @high fractal ur opinions make no sense. I don’t wanna argue

[slim quiver]

It’s a giant leap all because our perception of a good life is clouded by our own surroundings

We have our own idea of a good life based on our environment

[flint jay]

Imagine buying Xbox just for forza motorsport

[arctic grove]

Ohh damnn, okay thank you so much

[arctic grove]

so the series X is better

lol

Apparently

[vocal tusk]

"Better"

[slim bough]

First world problems

[delicate shoal]

whats the point of an xbox if all the games are on pc

[fair rain]

I can't imagine not being able to listen to music

[vocal tusk]

And not really/so far

[slim quiver]

Exactly

[vocal tusk]

https://ps5vsxbox.org/

This page has more indepth specs

[slim bough]

I think food on the table is more important than high frames

[high fractal]

Cheaper to build Xbox than to build pc. Series x is high end pc basically for price point of $500

[flint jay]

cheapr

[hidden sand]

Xbox wins for me because of Backwards compatibility
The ability to put it any original xbox game, 360 game, and xbox one game in the Series X is fucking amazing

Playstation not having backwards compat for ps1, ps2, ps3 is unbelievably frustrating

[flint jay]

than a full gaming pc

[slim bough]

U can’t fuckin build a Xbox

[high fractal]

Manufacture sorry

[vocal tusk]

PS3 back compat is impossible

The RSX made sure of that

[delicate shoal]

but u dont pay $60 a month just to play online and piracy is an option

[proud scarab]

Eh?

[hidden sand]

Rpcs3 would like to have a word
Nah jk, but they could build an in house emulator for it

[hidden wren]

piracy in 2021 get a job

[proud scarab]

I play PS3 games on my PS5 ;-;

[fair rain]

PC has pr0n games, that's the deciding factor for me

Raytracing booty

[delicate shoal]

free shit is free shit

[high fractal]

I don’t pay 60$ online. They always do deal in Black Friday you get 1 year $25

[slim bough]

brooo go outside

[fair rain]

Lol

[flint jay]

Isn't it $8 or something a month

[high fractal]

Yea VR porn lol

[vocal tusk]

Im well versed in RPCS3, but an emulator for a console existing, does not equate to back compat for that system being a possibility.

[whole thistle]

dont worry, bf2042 gonna have gun porn too

[delicate shoal]

xbox live gold is $60 leafbucks last i looked

[flint jay]

For the year

[slim bough]

And visual

[flint jay]

That ain't expensive

[delicate shoal]

oh your right

[slim bough]

It adds up

[high fractal]

How much to build high end pc now a days

[whole thistle]

is bf2042 labeled as next gen? or still old one

[flint jay]

What you mean it adds up, adds up maybe for a kid

[fair rain]

At this point if you just get Xbox game pass ultimate you get gold and free games

So that's a good value I'd say

[flint jay]

60 a year to a adult with a job is nothing

[hidden sand]

I mean maybe not direct backwards compatibility but they could develop an in-house PS3 emulator for PS5, RPCS3 proves that

[delicate shoal]

game sales on console are never more than 60% off too and you cant use g2a

[slim bough]

High end is 1500 to unlimited lol

[vocal tusk]

MS majorly fucked up by not having a disc drive in the series S IMO. I would have bought that already if it had one

[flint jay]

Unless your living in some messed up conditions

[proud scarab]

Sixty bucks for a year?

That ain’t anything lol

I pay more a year for Netflix

[arctic grove]

I'm a PC user and I respect people who have consoles

[proud scarab]

And Amazon prime. XD

[flint jay]

Exactly lmao

[slim bough]

Money still adds up…. That money could’ve been invested into a better system etc

[stone epoch]

Nah man thats at least 60, 1 dollar tacos that youre wasting a year

[delicate shoal]

i already pay for my internet tho why the fuck do i have to pay microdick another 60 bucks just to have access to it

[fair rain]

Back in the day building your own PC was very cost effective for the performance and visuals you got to last half a decade vs console. But now a days building a PC is expensive as shit vs $500 console

[slim bough]

Yep

[arctic grove]

OooIwant a tacoso bad

[hidden sand]

And if we can't have PS3 games, fine, but at least give us the option for PS1 and PS2 backwards compat
There is no good reason why Sony neglected to do that

[arctic grove]

True

[high fractal]

Yea imagine dropping 1500 just for high end pc. When series x can do same thing $500 lol

[slim bough]

Console 🤝 PC mobile is trash

[hidden wren]

1500 and high end in one sentence

[slim quiver]

1500 isn’t even high end

[proud scarab]

It’s sixty bucks.

[slim bough]

Lmao if u can afford it with better performance then no

[proud scarab]

Six hundred? I’d agree

[vocal tusk]

You should be able to build a PC that would kick a consoles ass still. but inflated prices over MSRP disallow that

[proud scarab]

But not sixty lol

[flint jay]

5 years it's 300, that's barely anything and yeah it does add up and yeah is unnecessary but it ain't expensive or that bad especially when there's less hackers

[slim bough]

Around that area and beyond u can get a decent system

[hidden sand]

60 for what?

[mental delta]

Money

[slim quiver]

Decent yes, high end tho, nah

[proud scarab]

PS plus for a year

[arctic grove]

What is considered high end what parts

[delicate shoal]

no subscription fees, cheeper games, g2a, piracy, upgradability you will save more money in the long run

[fair rain]

Well a high end GPU costs like $1000 minimum itself

In these times

[hidden sand]

PS Plus and Xbox Live Gold are dumb as hell, y'all are defending that?

[fair rain]

Thanks to scalpers and bots

[slim bough]

I count anything with a 30series card as overkill and high end

[slim quiver]

Even in a stable market a high end gpu is around 700

[slim bough]

Fair enough

[hidden sand]

We shouldn't have to pay for internet we already pay for

[fair rain]

If you actually snag a current gen GPU at MSRP you won the lottery

[cloud token]

does anyone know if the BF 4 Part 2 will be on EA PLAY PRO

[proud scarab]

You’re paying for access to their servers on their platform

[vocal tusk]

PS5 is in the same situation worldwide though, you cant just walk into a store and buy a PS5 for 500. So I dont know why you are acting like you can

[proud scarab]

I’m ok with it because it’s quality

[slim bough]

I did with my 3060ti fe

[cloud token]

Yeah, PS5 and XSX are impossible to get where I am

[high fractal]

I did

[fair rain]

I tried to get 3070ti on bestbuy but the bots beat me

[arctic grove]

Yeah, true

[delicate shoal]

luck

[slim quiver]

My friend got me a 3090 for MSRP

[vocal tusk]

Ive been actively trying to get an MSRP PS5 for the last 3 months and cant.

[delicate shoal]

never seen one with my own eyes in store

[slim bough]

They had them sitting on shelves at my micro center

I went yesterday

No 3060s or 90s

[vocal tusk]

I had a few chances to get a discless PS5...but that doesnt interest me

[high fractal]

Msrp prices for pc still higher than next gen console

[cloud token]

I just want a 3080ti

[slim quiver]

Best Buy is your best bet unironically if it’s near you

[vocal tusk]

No best buy in the EU

[arctic grove]

I wanr an msrp 3060 ti

[slim quiver]

That’s a RIP

[hidden sand]

I'm not because I already have to pay for my internet. I shouldn't have to pay to get access to that, not after already having to pay for the game itself. PC games are just fine without paid online service. It's out of greed and there is no defending that imo.

[slim quiver]

I got my ps5 through Best Buy and you order it online but must pick it up in store so there were 0 bots

[stone epoch]

I've seen a few at my local target

[slim quiver]

It was very easy to do

[stone epoch]

Its just luck of the draw

[high fractal]

Yes that’s what I did during covid pandemic

[slim quiver]

Same

[high fractal]

Place order and come pickup

[slim quiver]

I got my ps5 November 29th 2020

[slim bough]

That’s very lucky

[slim quiver]

Ordered it the 24th of November

[flint jay]

Well yeah

[arctic grove]

Damnnn

[slim quiver]

As for the XSX I got a pre order for that

[slim bough]

I don’t see a point of having ps5 and pc

[flint jay]

But it is their platform so their also allowed to do that

[fair rain]

Ps5 is for exclusives if you have PC already

[stone epoch]

Got my series X on launch, I had to have like 50 tabs of stores open and only managed to grab one on my last try lol

[slim quiver]

Different experience preference for different games

[slim bough]

Lol u have all new consoles and new pc

[slim quiver]

Correct

[hidden sand]

They are but I can call that shit dumb as hell

[slim bough]

Which’s ones tho.

Other than spiderman or god of war

[slim quiver]

I don’t like either of those games

[flint jay]

I agree it's dumb

[slim bough]

Then what’s the point

[fair rain]

I'd die for God of War/Ragnorak, Demon Souls and Horizon Forbidden west on pc

Look like great games

[stone epoch]

I just wanna try deathloop 😦

[slim quiver]

Because I like other games I’d rather play sitting on a couch and my brother likes playing on the ps5 as well

[delicate shoal]

zero reason to buy an xbox if you already own a decent pc

[lethal mirage]

No cap

[slim bough]

What games other than exclusives cannot be played on a pc

[slim bough]

Fax

[slim quiver]

None but you’re dodging the point

What game on my pc will I play on my couch

With a controller

And a big screen tv

0

[delicate shoal]

just plug your pc into your tv?

[slim bough]

I mean that’s the only point, what’s the dif of plugging in a controller to a big monitor

[delicate shoal]

i do that

[fair rain]

Technically speaking, you can plug your PC into a tv and use a Bluetooth controller

[slim bough]

Yes lol

[slim quiver]

I’m not lifting my 50 pound computer and hulking it upstairs

When I can just plug in a console and play

[delicate shoal]

u must be rich

[slim quiver]

I’m not rich at all

[fair rain]

I have an Xbox series x wireless controller I use on my PC for racing / some 3rd person games

[nova idol]

4 days until beta

[lethal mirage]

lazy

[delicate shoal]

i would not drop 500 just to not have to plug my pc into my tv

[proud scarab]

It’s only 50

[slim quiver]

Sorry I can’t lift 50 pounds up my flight of stairs

[slim bough]

Na u don’t need to be rich to have a 3090 and both new gens

Not at all

[proud scarab]

Oof shit.

[fair rain]

3090 is definitely rich lol

[hidden sand]

Literally all of them, you just plug it into your tv
But I get your point, consoles are a much more user friendly experience
That's just fax, PCs are bulkier and more maintenance heavy

[slim bough]

No

[slim quiver]

I’m a 105 pound 5’1 tall person. I can’t do it lmao

[fair rain]

Dropping 2 thousand dollars minimum on a GPU

[slim bough]

It depends what ur priorities are

[lethal mirage]

just get good

[fair rain]

You definitely need some extra cash laying around for that investment

[proud scarab]

https://tenor.com/view/happydance-party-yas-gif-8177346

[high fractal]

3090 is for rich people

[slim bough]

No it’s not…….

[fair rain]

Overkill card anyway tbh

[proud scarab]

Or people that know how to save

I saved 6 years to build my new PC

[slim bough]

Depends what u use it for

[proud scarab]

^^

[delicate shoal]

bruh its literally a month or 2 of rent

[proud scarab]

It’s about saving

I set aside a hundred bucks a month for the PS5

[fair rain]

3090 is basically a titan

[lethal mirage]

3090 are for Chinese bit coin miners

[slim bough]

I mean it literally isn’t. It depends what ur priorities are

[fair rain]

Not a lot of people can slap $2000 at just a graphics card

[slim bough]

I’m not arguing with you who thinks a rog phone is on par with a pc

[arctic grove]

Rent gets half taken off the bat by government. Then you still have other expenses. In reality it will take you more than a year

[slim quiver]

I mean my friend got me my 3090 so there was no need anyways

[high fractal]

That wasn’t me that some other dude

[fair rain]

If your GPU is $2000, then your PC probably costs around $4000-$5000 for everything else

[hidden sand]

If you're able to buy things with no wait out of impatience, that's where you're rich
Saving up for years doesn't mean your rich

[slim bough]

U agreed with him

[fair rain]

Which is a lot of money just for gaming

[lilac valve]

please god, please let them add hardline stuff to portal

[slim bough]

My point exactly

[stone epoch]

Doubt they will but i'd be cool

[fair rain]

Cause if you have a 3090, you need a good motherboard, cpu, power supply, big case etc

[stone epoch]

Never played hardline except the beta

[lilac valve]

imagine hotwire game mode with a panzer

[slim bough]

If u save for YEARS and get the best possible dosent make u rich

[proud scarab]

2 grand for a GPU? God damn!

[hidden sand]

I could set 10 dollars aside every paycheck for that stuff for years, doesn't make me rich

[lilac valve]

or the bank heist mode

[arctic grove]

yeah but if your sitting good enough to spend that much, you may as well, because you never know if you will always have that money, and its good to invest in something that will bring you years of enjoyment without many technical issues in the future

[slim quiver]

Man there’s just a lot of assumptions floating around

[arctic grove]

just my two cents

[sullen badge]

3090 is close to 4k here

[high fractal]

Those who live in the US, did you guys get the stimulus money the govt was giving everybody?

[arctic grove]

PS5 master race

[stone epoch]

I got every stimmy check

[slim quiver]

Same

[delicate shoal]

no point in a 3090 unless you have a insane monitor too and a crazy cpu so thats like another 2000

[slim bough]

Ikr

[high fractal]

Haha me too I got $1400 one check

[arctic grove]

PS5 > 3090

[fair rain]

Well of you wait years for that 3090 a goddamn RTX 5090 will be out by then and be literal miles better and more relevant for that age of days gaming lol

[lilac valve]

id idnt because at the time i had a stable job and expected pandemic to end in a year tops

[arctic grove]

Especially when a new card gonna come out eventually

[high fractal]

I went to Best Buy and bought oled tv 😂

[proud scarab]

..... yeah I don’t cuss in here often cause I try to make an example... but fuuuuuck that

[arctic grove]

PS5 > 3090

[arctic grove]

thats just factually wrong..

[delicate shoal]

its b8 frogman

[slim quiver]

You could apply this logic to anything

[stone epoch]

That stimmy check bought me a 75 inch 4k tv lol

[slim quiver]

Might as well never buy a graphics card ever again because every single year something better will come out

That logic doesn’t work

[lilac valve]

if you want to future proof get the 3070 ti

[slim bough]

Or a car or house lol

[slim quiver]

It’s all about where the ceiling is

Developers can’t just keep making more and more intensive games

[fair rain]

Well if you have to wait like 3 years to buy a 3090 with saving, a brand new one will be out that's like 3 generations ahead and will most likely cost more

[slim quiver]

They need to be able to keep up with consoles

[sullen badge]

Generally on my roof

[delicate shoal]

people that bought the 2080 all got fucked when the 30 series came out

[hidden sand]

You don't have to buy everything immediately or in bulk, if you do you're either rich or dumb with your money
Thats where saving comes in

[arctic grove]

That’s what I’m thinking too

[slim bough]

That’s just bad timing

[proud scarab]

Or just buy a mid to somewhat high range GPU every five years or so..

[arctic grove]

yeah maybe base 2080

[slim quiver]

That’s why I skipped the 20 series

[fair rain]

Or just get the 3070/3080 for an actually semi reasonable price

At MSRP

[arctic grove]

if you bought a base 2080, you probably werent trying to future proof in the first place

[fair rain]

I had a GTX 970 so me getting an RTX 2070 super for 1440p 165hz gaming was worth it for me

[slim quiver]

All I know is those 3080, by the time they’re MSRP, the 40 series will be out. If you want to upgrade a pc and you can get a good 30 card that you want for MSRP, good on you

[fair rain]

Well back in the day you could buy your GPU and have a selection to choose from

[slim quiver]

If you want to wait for the 40, 50 series that’s fine

You can do that too

[fair rain]

Now it's like betting on winning the lottery to actually get one

So if that shit is in stock it's gonna be zero issue

[slim quiver]

Depends where you are

People told me it’s impossible to get a console and I say the same thing “depends where you are”

[vocal tusk]

5800x: 370
X570 board: 140
16gbs 3600Mhz RAM: 80
PSU: 80
SSD: 75

Even with a 2K GPU, thats nowhere near 5K for a high end gaming PC

[fair rain]

Well Canada and USA are out of stock 24/7, unless you want to be a hobo and sleep outside of best buy for 20 hours to get a GPU, you do you

[broken plank]

sometimes

[delicate shoal]

if games were just properly optimized like doom eternal you wouldnt need more than a 1660ti if your ok with 1080p

[slim quiver]

I never had to leave my house except to pick it up

And I’m in the US

[broken plank]

you just gotta camp with the enemy sniper

[fair rain]

Well you are insanely lucky

[slim quiver]

Never waited in any line

All I did is look at the rumors of when Best Buy would make another drop

[high fractal]

I think global chip shortage will end maybe in 2 years

[slim quiver]

And since Best Buy requires you to drive to the store to pick it up

[arctic grove]

Yeah I never had to do that either

[fair rain]

Because if it was online, that means you beat thousands of bots and scalpers on half a bottle of Adderall

[slim quiver]

There were no bots

No

Best Buy doesn’t have bots

You physically need to walk into the store

After you order it online

Bots can’t walk into the store

Neither can the same person

[fair rain]

Well I got beat by bots on the 3070ti best buy release

[delicate shoal]

i think us economy will crash before then

[fair rain]

Went out of stock within a minute of release

[slim quiver]

That’s because they were shipping them

You didn’t get beat by bots if you had to pick it up

[fair rain]

And I was waiting like 5 hours before release consistently refreshing the site

[slim quiver]

When the item says “In store pick up only”

There’s no bots

[proud scarab]

^

[hidden sand]

Damn we've been tricked, we've been backstabbed, and we've been quite possibly, bamboozled

[slim quiver]

When I got my ps5, they were in stock for more than 45 minutes

Because it was all in store pick ups

[fair rain]

Would be nice if most sites did a "you can only buy 1 GPU every 3 months with this address" type deal

[proud scarab]

I love my PS5

[fair rain]

Instead of not giving a shit and letting one person buy 100 to sell at double MSRP on ebay

[proud scarab]

Games run so so sooooo amazing

[delicate shoal]

they like money

[arctic grove]

Unfortunately they don’t give a damn and as long as they get paid could care less

[slim quiver]

Also why hasn’t anyone tried doing Newegg shuffles?

[fair rain]

Also silicon shortage means we have jack shit stock

[slim quiver]

They run it like every day

And some of the stuff is MSRP

[fair rain]

I've been in Newegg shuffle since July and haven't gotten in once

Plus they sell you junk with the GPU

[slim quiver]

Sometimes they do

[fair rain]

Like the ticking time bomb EVGA power supplies

[slim quiver]

Sometimes it’s just the card

[fair rain]

That blow up 50% of the time

[slim quiver]

I had a EVGA power supply for like 6 years

Nothing happened to it

[fair rain]

Technically not MSRP if they sell all their shit stock that doesn't sell

[hidden sand]

There's no denying though, getting a ps5 rn does come down to luck quite a bit
There's the aspect of paying attention checking out rumors, but you're still lucky if you get one

[vocal tusk]

Its one specific PSU from EVGA

[slim quiver]

There’s an aspect of luck yes

But it isn’t impossible

[arctic grove]

Luck indeed

Yea

[slim quiver]

And you don’t need to sleep outside

[hidden sand]

Yeah it isn't

[fair rain]

And it was the ones they bundled with all the Newegg GPU shuffle drops lol

[stone epoch]

Luck and location, I had no problem getting a series S for my brother is the Austin texas area, but you can't find jack shit in the dallas area rn

[slim quiver]

People grossly over exaggerate things

Whenever something is mildly difficult in life

It is blown out of proportion

[arctic grove]

Usually cause any degree of challenge is too much

[fair rain]

Lol it's not mildly hard when nerds program bots to beat you at buying online stock

[stone epoch]

I slept outside for the Wii release lol

Back in the day

[fair rain]

Not everyone can wait outside microcenter/bestbuy 15 hours before release like an actual hobo with no responsibility

[stone epoch]

It was fun

[slim quiver]

That’s why you only look at places that have in store only. No bots no problem

[fair rain]

Just for the chance to be 1 behind in line when it's sold out

[slim quiver]

Again where are you getting this hobo thing

[hidden sand]

Tbh I'd rather not go outside rn if I don't have to because of Covid, so that's why I'm looking out for online orders

[fair rain]

Cause they only drop like 50 gpus

[slim quiver]

I’ve never had to wait in a single line for Best Buy lol

online order in store pick up

[heavy nymph]

Will the beta be on Xbox one? And will it have cross play?

[fair rain]

Well you live in the middle of buttfuck nowhere and got lucky

[stiff pollen]

Guys I just slept for 20 hours straight and now Reddit is bitching about gaming setups

[fair rain]

Living in a large city that shit is sold out instantly

[stiff pollen]

Why is Reddit like this

[vocal tusk]

Stores like bestbuy restock as a specific time, you can just set an alarm and be ready for it

[slim quiver]

I had to drive to the city just to get the ps5

[stone epoch]

yes and yes with ps4

[slim quiver]

I ordered it from a Best Buy,that’s located in a city

[stiff pollen]

I had to camp outside microcenter to get my 3080

[high fractal]

20 hours is a lot man

[slim quiver]

It’s the only Best Buy near me lmao

[stiff pollen]

Wait no I didn’t I bought my 3080 online

[fair rain]

Well you must live in some 2000 population geriatric community

[slim quiver]

That’s not how that works

[fair rain]

Alberta Canada that shit is sold out 24/7

[arctic grove]

I don’t I’ve in no major major city but it’s like 400k here

[fair rain]

Bunch of young tech people here

[slim quiver]

There’s 43K people in that city

[fair rain]

Lol that's nothing

[slim quiver]

Which is large for my state

[stone epoch]

Liar everyone knows canada isnt real

[delicate shoal]

y aint they farming n shit

[fair rain]

3 million here

[slim quiver]

I mean if you’re saying there’s only 50 units

[fair rain]

Plus most stores are selling above MSRP anyway so fuck that

[slim quiver]

It’s 43K on top of everyone trying to go to that one Best Buy to pick up the same thing lol

[arctic grove]

You’re prob lucky to even reach the checkout screen in a city that big then huh

[slim quiver]

Consoles at Best Buy were all 500 dollars so it was MSRP

[fair rain]

Reference 3070ti = $700, Asus 3070ti = $1200

Store sells both $200-$300 above

[delicate shoal]

greed moment

[fair rain]

It's definitely fucked in Canada atleast

Calgary and Edmonton both have 3 million+ population so it's literally impossible to buy anything that is scalped

[hidden sand]

It just comes down to luck and location

[arctic grove]

I'm hoping my new system gets here. I'm gonna put bf2042 on it

Ssd *

I was shopping for new cpu and gpu but my current stuff beats most next generation still

[delicate shoal]

4k gayming is overrated

[fair rain]

True

1440p masterrace

[delicate shoal]

doesnt even look that much better to be worth the hundreds of dollars

[vocal tusk]

Depending on screen size, I agree

4K tends to only make an appreciable difference on 50+ inch screens for me

[high fractal]

We all agree atleast scalpers are asss holes

[fair rain]

Yea if you have a big screen

And true scalpers deserve to be scalped

[arctic grove]

Is that time of the night

https://tenor.com/view/neebs-gaming-hank-and-jed-bffs-bff-battlefield-friends-gif-15639797

[fair rain]

1440p looks wonderful on a 27inch monitor though

[high fractal]

Yup better than 4K

On monitor

[vocal tusk]

1080p even looks great at 27", but past that, it starts to break down

[arctic grove]

I like my 4k for everything except online shooters

[fair rain]

4k just too demanding if you are a max settings Andy like I am

[delicate shoal]

i use 1080p on a 24inch and im happy with it

[fair rain]

Plus I like having 100+ smooth fps because I have a 165hz momitor

[delicate shoal]

ultra settings are overrated too

[high fractal]

4K only relevant for tv because they can go up to like 80 inches and the 4K helps the image not look blurry

But 1440p is perfect for monitor because of small screen size

[arctic grove]

4k everything

4k Nintendo

[fair rain]

120+fps vs 60fps though

Once you go high refresh rate you can't go back

[delicate shoal]

i use 120 for fps and go to 60 for stuff like red dead

60 is all i can get anyways in that game but i dont need more

[arctic grove]

Why not 4k 120 @fair rain

[delicate shoal]

cuz those screens cost 2000

[high fractal]

Yea I agree

[vocal tusk]

My 1440p 165hz screen cost me 345

[delicate shoal]

pretty good deal

[arctic grove]

Lol no

[fair rain]

Well 4k 120 you need like an RTX 3090 lol

[delicate shoal]

whatever still fucked expensive

[fair rain]

Unless you like playing every game on low/medium settings

Also a 4k 120+Hz monitor is like $1000 itself

[delicate shoal]

high 1080p always looks better than low 4k

[arctic grove]

lol if you say so

[fair rain]

Unless you buy a ghetto 4k 144hz monitor, most good quality ones cost half a kidney

Like dell, lg, Samsung, asus

[arctic grove]

I have two 27” Samsungs myself

[delicate shoal]

monitors all have shit quality control

worst buying experience

[fair rain]

Dell monitors are great from my experience

[vocal tusk]

*Some Dell monitors

All brands have shitty screens

[high fractal]

https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/best/monitors

[vocal tusk]

Dell have some nice mid end panels though.

[fair rain]

I have two 1440p 27 inch dells. One is IPS 165hz, other is 144hz TN (used to be my main till I went dual)

[stiff pollen]

Dell has good monitors lol

[fair rain]

Both were like $800, but I got them on sale for 50% off

[delicate shoal]

i bought a 144hz dell monitor and it had multiple lines of stuck pixels out of the box

[arctic grove]

I bought one of mine open box at a Best Buy lol

I was walking by and saw it

Forgot what i was doing

[hidden wren]

then return it for a new one lmao

[arctic grove]

Just left with it

[high fractal]

Dell is the worst monitor brand

[fair rain]

Dell S2721DGF and Dell S2716DG

[delicate shoal]

I did obviously

[fair rain]

Lol no dell high end monitors are great quality

Look at RTINGS

[ebon patio]

Gigabyte is pretty good.

[fair rain]

They are a non biased review company

Both are like an 8/10

[vocal tusk]

Dell panels are just LG panels with a different firmware lol. So what, youre saying Dell housings are bad or something?

[delicate shoal]

all technology is ewaste shit nowadays

planned obsolesce garbage

[high fractal]

Lg and Samsung the best

[delicate shoal]

and you get punished for buying it by having to waste your time and energy shipping the garbage back to them

[vocal tusk]

So Dell panels are the best then, since they are mostly LG

[hidden wren]

i mean no one is forcing you to buy new gear every year

[high fractal]

Sony uses lg panels too

[delicate shoal]

i dont im just pissed i had to walk 8km to a shipping location

[vocal tusk]

For example, the S2721DGF and the LG27GL850 are the same panel

[fair rain]

Dell is like top 5 with Asus Samsung LG and BenQ

Sony don't make monitors

[mortal prism]

LG uses LG panels too.

[high fractal]

Yea I know, Sony use lg oled panel for their TVs

i mean i would upgrade to 1440p but aint going to happen on a 1070

[fair rain]

Anyways I hope 2042 is well optimized, especially with dlss enabled

I want to get 100+fps at 1440p with high/ultra settings

[vocal tusk]

Yeah, kind of a bad idea to jump to 1440p on a 1070 TBH

[hidden wren]

thats why ive had the same panels for 4-5 years now

[mortal prism]

My 1080ti on 1440p was awesome

[vocal tusk]

I was in the same boat with my 1080ti w/ 1080p 144hz screen

[fair rain]

2070super paired with a Ryzen 5 5600x and 16gb 3600mhz ram works really well with most games at 1440p in my experience

Hopefully battlefield runs well

[mortal prism]

I'd hope so

[hidden wren]

well that'd be comparing pears to apples

[vocal tusk]

Like...1080p 120 FPS was GTG on that setup...but if I jumped to 1440p it would have been like...70-90 FPS, which I didnt want at the time

[mortal prism]

Fair enough

[urban crow]

[regal ravine]

Dell gets too much hate in general

[obtuse dagger]

your wrong but aight

[regal ravine]

I think people just watch some of Linus’s videos or other tech YouTubers and automatically assume Dell sucks

[azure lodge]

Battlefield 2042 | Open Beta (Early Access)
Opens <t:1633503600:R>

[obtuse dagger]

dell makes very good monitors

i have one

1440p 144hz

[arctic grove]

Considering how some seem to almost parrot them, yeah, you’re on to something

[regal ravine]

I had an Alienware monitor (owned by Dell) and it was good

[torpid shuttle]

I don't buy Dell product.
But Dell's laptop battery is very good.

[arctic grove]

got one rn actually, 240hz 1080p

its very good

sturdy

[obtuse dagger]

1080p is kinda meh now

[regal ravine]

Is it the AW2518HF?

[obtuse dagger]

1440p will become the standard soon

[arctic grove]

Could kill a man with it?

[arctic grove]

my second monitor is yeah

my other one is the updated one

It’s not a good monitor if you can’t

[arctic grove]

yeah it has a metal base that is pretty sharp

[regal ravine]

Is it the TN panel one?

[arctic grove]

Lol

[arctic grove]

this is my main one rn

https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/alienware-27-gaming-monitor-aw2720hf/apd/210-atwf/monitors-monitor-accessories

[obtuse dagger]

i hope i get 144fps with my 3080, playing at less than 120fps is not very enjoyable for me

[toxic cobalt]

Does anyone know how crossplay will work? Will PC be able to play with older gen consoles (Xbox 1) (PS4)

[arctic grove]

this is the monitor I wanna get in the future

https://www.lg.com/us/monitors/lg-27gn950-b-gaming-monitor

[regal ravine]

You have the IPS panel which is good. When I got mine, they only had the TN panel variant, which was not ideal

[buoyant nimbus]

i have the 32 inch lg 165hz it's nice

[arctic grove]

I just want that 4k res

[buoyant nimbus]

min is just 1440p, I dont' desire 4k fps

[arctic grove]

sick of the 1080p blur especially in games that use TAA which is increasingly common

[buoyant nimbus]

1440p is the sweet spot, looks great and doesn't destroy fps like 4k

[arctic grove]

well, my setup can handle 4k just fine

[regal ravine]

PC can only crossplay with next-gen consoles. Next-gen consoles can also only crossplay with one another and PC.
Old gen (PS4 and Xbox One) can’t crossplay with next-gen or PC, but they can crossplay only with each other

[buoyant nimbus]

I prefer double the fps

[regal ravine]

Depends on the game

[arctic grove]

I guess if you only play mp games and dont really care yeah

[regal ravine]

You can easily get by with 4K max settings in some modern single player games

[arctic grove]

I can get 60-80 fps on rdr2 4k with a mix of high and ultra settings

so thats how I know my pc can handle it

[buoyant nimbus]

yeah that game is tough on gpu

I look to it and bfv benchmarks for gpu/cpu upgrade ideas

[arctic grove]

well bfv isnt that hard to run

plus I think 1 looked better

in most cases

[buoyant nimbus]

maybe for your setup

bfv is very hard to run which is why it's used in benchmarks

[tribal ruin]

how much should 9700k + 1070 ti get fps on battelfield 2042

[hidden wren]

no one knows

[arctic grove]

hmmm i'd guess 80 on high, but as rivve said, nobody knows

[maiden crest]

same but im scared of my processor more than gpu

[tribal ruin]

what about low

i play on low because more fps

[maiden crest]

3060 ti and ryzen 5 3600???

[hidden wren]

you can test it on the beta next week

[arctic grove]

idk i'd guess around 140

[tribal ruin]

but waiting 4 days is too long

[arctic grove]

these are just estimates pulled outta my head though so dont be mad if I'm wrong

[tribal ruin]

also

mulan is such a shit movie

[arctic grove]

you'll be fine probably

[tribal ruin]

watching it on disney+

[arctic grove]

maybe

[arctic grove]

ong

the remake did not need to be made

defeats the entire purpose of the og

[tribal ruin]

they couldve made it but the movie is so shit

also the battle scene sucks too

literally china had a 700k strong army

not like 1000

too cringe too

the budget was like 200 million, and like over 300 million if u include marketting with a 70 million dollar box office

[buoyant nimbus]

check out Oats Studios on Netflix, pretty cool stuff

[broken plank]

i literally just finished watching that

[tribal ruin]

its shit

[buoyant nimbus]

no watch party invite

[tribal ruin]

i watched loki for the first time yesterday

[broken plank]

first episode was decent
rest were meh

[tribal ruin]

its actually pretty good

oh

oats stuidos

idk what that is

[broken plank]

Lmao wait

you called it shit but don't know what it is?

how does that make sense?

[tribal ruin]

i thought u were referring to mulan

[broken plank]

which mulan

[tribal ruin]

the live action one is so bad

the 2020

[broken plank]

I was gonna say

the animated mulan was good

[tribal ruin]

Loki is good tho

just watched because i thought it was a shit show

also wandavision started watching the beginning and yes i do get classical vibes but i dont get it

and now watching 2000 gladiator

[final eagle]

wandavision will start making sense if u watch more of it

[buoyant nimbus]

gladiator is one of my fav

is that something else though

[tribal ruin]

dumbledore is in gladiator

also

marcus aurelius(the guy who plays that in gladiator)

also plays Sulla in Julius Caesar(2003)

julius caesar is free on youtube and ngl its pretty good

[buoyant nimbus]

i'll check it out

[tribal ruin]

HOWEVER

Troy is such a good movie

[buoyant nimbus]

i never watched that one

[tribal ruin]

bruh what

[tribal ruin]

u never watched troy?

dude

its so good

[buoyant nimbus]

I think maybe I saw a few scenes at most

[tribal ruin]

its the one with achilles vs hector

its good

honestly

we should get a new version

btw i dont believe that a horse was given to the trojans

i believe it was a siege tower

[buoyant nimbus]

why

[tribal ruin]

because

siege towers can look like horses

i can even show u pics

but uh

that movie is god

and im bored

[buoyant nimbus]

this Damasu 950 rocks

how could you not love it @broken plank

[broken plank]

love what

who

why where

[buoyant nimbus]

im on the episode of oat studios with the Damasu 950, some kind of 80's cooking show with crazy inventions

[loud mantle]

How much is this game?

[arctic grove]

60 usd

for standard

[loud mantle]

your joking right

and the full releasE?

[buoyant nimbus]

priceless

[loud mantle]

wdym?

[arctic grove]

110 for the ultimate edition

[loud mantle]

this is a joke

[arctic grove]

no its standard AAA pricing

[buoyant nimbus]

ultimate gang represent

[loud mantle]

dude

well im not eating dinner tonight

[buoyant nimbus]

thats the right attitude

[gusty jasper]

just be glad we dont have premium anymore

[buoyant nimbus]

sell plasma

[gusty jasper]

that was dogshit

[arctic grove]

not really

[royal trail]

gtx1070 can run bfv 1440p highest almost 60fps all the time without aa. should i have to be worried about low 1080p 60fps in bf2042?

[gusty jasper]

Yes really. 100 bucks extra just to play on most servers

thats a horrible system

[arctic grove]

but premium got you all dlcs for free

[gusty jasper]

yeah

if you paid for premium

[arctic grove]

its not a subscription

so why ya mad

[gusty jasper]

because it splits the playerbase

battlepass/cosmetics are objectively better because everyone gets access to the same playable content

with no paywall

like there were legit better guns and spotting attachments when you bought DLC

[arctic grove]

yet dlcs do the same thing

[gusty jasper]

yeah

im talking about DLCs

and premium

[royal trail]

someone educated please answer

[sullen inlet]

3 days until beta

😎

[buoyant nimbus]

yep, huge mistake was splitting the playerbase, it just kills the longevity

[arctic grove]

hopefully portals makes 2042 last for many years

[gusty jasper]

i mean, it is budget modding tools

[arctic grove]

I just hope each mode gets updated adequately

[arctic grove]

yet it hasnt

[arctic grove]

also true

[broken plank]

YES

[gusty jasper]

even if it hasnt, modern gaming standards are all about accessibility

so why are you complaining about getting new maps/weapons for free?

[arctic grove]

because the game was better, the maps brought new weapons and vehicles, like the railgun

[gusty jasper]

dawg, we are literally getting remastered content from 3 different battlefield games in one package

[wide shore]

Games as a service is always, and will always be better than paying for map packs.

[gusty jasper]

including 2042 content

[arctic grove]

and hopefully more too

[wide shore]

I won’t deny the quality of some BF Premium map packs. But to say you’d rather pay for a set of maps that rarely stay populated for 2-3 months is weird

[gusty jasper]

oh yeah for sure, China Rising was easily one of the best DLCs in the franchise

[sullen inlet]

gib bf3 close quarters update

gib Val

gib M5K

NOW

[wide shore]

🤮

[gusty jasper]

[arctic grove]

China Falling

[gusty jasper]

Sunken Dragon fan detected

[wide shore]

I didn’t like any of BF4’s DLC maps

[gusty jasper]

now that is one unpopular opinion

[arctic grove]

imagine

[gusty jasper]

respectfully so because BF4 had a lot of shit maps

[wide shore]

Only ones that were decent were the remakes. And even then, they generally made the maps worse.

[gusty jasper]

ngl

[arctic grove]

so then you just didnt like bf4

[gusty jasper]

yeah they butchered Operation Firestorm

[arctic grove]

bf4 has good maps

[wide shore]

Correct

[arctic grove]

🙂

[wide shore]

The worst was Gulf of Oman

[hidden wren]

wha

[gusty jasper]

like id even say BF4 had the worst vanilla maps of the franchise

my lord

[wide shore]

Great map. Sandstorm every single round? Dogshit.

[broken plank]

Im curious as to how much xp will be needed to fill each battle pass tier

[wide shore]

Agreed

[broken plank]

will it gradually increase or remain fixed

[arctic grove]

i only enjoy like 2 of bf4's vanilla maps

[gusty jasper]

like no bf game can top BF3 vanilla maps

[arctic grove]

yet it had things bf1 and 5 dont have

thats locker and golmud

[gusty jasper]

golmud 🤢

[arctic grove]

Bf3 is dead isnt it

[wide shore]

I only like Zavod and Shanghai. That’s it.

[gusty jasper]

HOLY TRUE

[arctic grove]

hahaha i loved the sniper only servers on conquest golmud, that stuff used to be so fun but people dont really do those servers anymore

[gusty jasper]

i was just about to say that

Zavod/Shanghai carried bf4 vanilla

[arctic grove]

shanghai is pretty good i love to be commander on that map, unless my team doesnt have C captured

[wide shore]

Graveyard shift was the coolest thing BF4 had going for it. But for some reason, they didn’t add the free maps to the vanilla rotation?! So they’re all dead af

[hidden wren]

they can shove shanghai map somewhere the sun dont shine

[arctic grove]

Imagine playing a game you mostly hate

[gusty jasper]

Shanghai is really well balanced too

[arctic grove]

i love shanghai

favorite bf map

you guys dont know that you could individually deselect maps you dislike

[gusty jasper]

i mean who says we dont

i usually play ALL MAP servers just for variety

[arctic grove]

and that was what you got

[gusty jasper]

and?

[wide shore]

You do know that if you want to have a session, there’s a thing called map rotation.

[gusty jasper]

i can have an opinion about maps i dont like

🙂

game is still fun regardless

[arctic grove]

imagine forgetting about locker servers, where its locker 24/7

[wide shore]

I hate locker

So I’ll pass

[arctic grove]

not a true fan

[obtuse dagger]

Which cpu u got?

[wide shore]

Lmao

[gusty jasper]

Locker 24/7 is boring

[arctic grove]

i feel like you just hate battlefield

locker is okay but its usually one sided towards whoever has panopticon until your team builds up the momentum to just rush it

[wide shore]

Wrong

[arctic grove]

says you

[gusty jasper]

lemme guess

[arctic grove]

all i play is locker tho

[arctic grove]

Nah nah its true

[arctic grove]

I mean, you don't like 4, or locker

[gusty jasper]

are you a medic AEK/G18 player? @arctic grove

[arctic grove]

i play locker for boots on the ground and golmud for everything vehicles

[broken plank]

no its not fun
Its very fun

[arctic grove]

Same

[wide shore]

Wrong. I love BF1. I love BF3. I love BC2. I like BFV.

[broken plank]

❤️ Medic player for life

[wide shore]

I just don’t like BF4

[arctic grove]

Nope

[gusty jasper]

color me shocked

people that dont use AEK are chads

[arctic grove]

so you like v

but not

4

[wide shore]

Yep

[arctic grove]

..

[obtuse dagger]

You know what. I loved bf4, i loved bfV, I will pre-oreder bf2042 gold edition right now. Fuck it

[gusty jasper]

V actually had really good core gameplay

like the gunplay was solid

[broken plank]

do it

[wide shore]

4 is incredibly overhyped in this community.

[obtuse dagger]

Bfv is nice too, i play alot lately

[arctic grove]

Bf5 and Bf1 arnt even closely connected to the battlefield franchise, ea removed most things bf4 had

[gusty jasper]

in terms of like, raw gameplay, BF4 really wasnt that insane. I just liked the amount of content in the game

BFH def refined BF4 core gameplay

[wide shore]

Pssstt. Hey. BF4 isn’t Battlefield incarnate. Just because BF1 and BFV aren’t like BF4 doesn’t mean shit.

[arctic grove]

well, dice doesnt make battlefield anymore, ea does

[wide shore]

Bruv

[arctic grove]

uh

[wide shore]

Did you forget BF4’s launch?

[frail ruin]

i'm sure dice would love to read that lmao

[wide shore]

Did you forget EA has owned DICE for decades?

[arctic grove]

now ea is taking over

V was sorta like 4's launch except it stayed like that

lol

[wide shore]

V was and still is more polished than BF4’s launch.

Get outta here with that

[gusty jasper]

oh no

[arctic grove]

gotta disagree man

V was boring

[arctic grove]

the only thing saving it was the pacific dlc

[arctic grove]

Never tried it

[wide shore]

You can dislike the game all you want. But BF4 was fundamentally broken. And damn near unplayable. BFV was never in that state.

[arctic grove]

it has the only good content in the game lol

[arctic grove]

pacific dlc sucks, one side has an advantage half of the time
