Retarded post. Switch 2 will be sub-ps4.

Can’t help but feel like it’s convenient for GN to try and cancel LTT who surely are the biggest media platform talking about PC’s and tech. They’re not perfect but the reasons they listed (at least in the 4-5 mins I watched, not watching for 42 mins lol) seem slightly tame, it’s not like they’re calling Linus out for running around his office with his dick out or something. 

Yeah that's a huge factor. Also I think the GN's critique is all over the place. Accuracy in content is one thing, but the Billet labs thing is kinda nobody's business. Also he rambles for a stupid amount of time contextualizing and explaining the reasoning behind his critiques, I just don't care.

I find it kind of manipulative that GN refers to voices from "the community" is if they're all on his side or that the community speaks with on voice. Angsty teenage ass view of the world.

GN has a history of taking legitimate tech issues and turning them into a good vs evil crusade. Imo that is a clout chaser's approach even if he's not wrong.

No Half Life Alyx, Sony's not serious.

Well I just played for 3 hours and a lot happened. I went into a rage and torched a house, I became friends with an underground society, I made evening plans with Shadowheart... thats not even half, plus I've got what I need to open a fucked up looking book, so that's just in my back pocket. The plot/quest development is just relentless. All kinds of stuff I found in the last 5-8 hours is just avoiding other major stuff so I can level up a bit.

I'm getting the hang of combat a bit. You can get sick advantages by dividing your group so that 1-2 enter tactics mode, but you can switch to characters who haven't engaged yet and put them in position to initiate a surprise. Using the group/split feature is really important for lots of scenarios.

Also throwing weapons like the javelin or spear do a good amount of damage.

I started listening to this and it felt like a waste of time. Between this and the meta conversation about whether or not BG3 "set a new standard in RPGs".

It has cross saves right? I might get it on PS5 also if i can bounce between the 2

Yeah that's the main reason to make a Larian account as far as I can tell

If I make a Paladin will I be forced to make lawful good choices in the story?

I don't think so. My main is a barbarian and they have certain dialog advantages. Your race and backstory will also play into it. And you have other party members with their own attributes.

So this is the real deal? I’m considering getting it on ps5.

There's every reason to expect it will be great on PS5. It's not too demanding on PC hardware on high settings. Also the gamepad support is excellent.

Now that GOTY is determined (tshbo), can we actually talk about this game? I'm pretty obsessed. This is the first game I've played that feels *next-gen* beyond pretty graphics. Every single character interaction goes into a cinematic scene, even when you're talking to a frog.

I'm still early in act one, but the density of interactions and the surprising ways to resolve conflicts is beyond anything I've seen from Bioware or Bethesda at their best. I was just wandering in a swamp on the edge of the map and stumbled on a letter hidden in a tree, which allowed me to expose the secret motives of an important character. This massively changed one of the main quest lines, in a way I couldn't have predicted.

The whole time playing this game, I can't stop thinking about the future. Future playthroughs with new characters, future games from Larian building on these systems, community mods, multiplayer... I've only seen like 5% of what this game has to offer and I'm already blown away. It's mindboggling.

I still play Rocket League almost every day. I'd love to get into a new online shooter, but nothing has hit the sweet spot yet.

No PS2 is way better.

Switch fucked your wife or something? Lol

Is this system wars? It's a shitty system. Doesn't need further explanation.

how so? it looked good on 360. it would translate well to the smaller screen.

Switch is worse than 260.

gta 5 would be pretty great on the switch.

Nah it would be horrible

That's because it's literally just a last gen port genius. 

That sucks, do better. Demons Souls and Dead Space exist.

No PC version is braindead. The Switch footage looks no better than the 360 version.

....yeah, after you got majorly fucked by Valve and something happened to the biggest gaming library you have ever collected.....is what you are saying.

 

Gabe Newell is an ex-Microsoft employee who got rich off of Windows 95. I wouldn't put to much stock on the "benevolent dictator" concept.

I don't put stock in that at all. Valve is just a company. But they're a company that has had many chances to be shitty and resisted. They have a 20 year track record for managing conflicting interests between players and publishers. There's no guarantee it will continue, but this special trustworthiness is obviously valuable to them.

Case closed on the npc ranting

I wonder how much the retail side actually matters. Like Amazon I could see making a difference, but it's not hard to order a Steam Deck. Especially if you're already a Steam user.

Jesus christ this kid is so stupid, literally the dumbest motherfucker  

 

 

I've already answered your stupid fucking question multiple times moron.  YES... if you remove ALL of Diablo 4's console sales... and ONLY count the PC sales.... it COMPLETELY 100% has outsold FF16 on PS5.

 

And I proved it... using the splits we have from the UK.  We know the game has sold more than 10M copies worldwide.. and did so in 5 days... from Blizzards announcement.  If 57% of those sales are PC.... then that means 5.7M of those sales are from the PC version. 

 

And sweetie... FF16 did NOT sell more than 5.7M units in 5 days.

 

3 mill "several days after release"

Case closed.

This year might be the last straw for xbox. If Starfield has a bad launch there's not much on deck for a while.

Holy shit, day 1. Drummer is a great choice for lead.

EDIT: Epic Games exclusive. RIP. Get fucked.

They should have just scrapped the xflop version. People don't buy games on that platform anyway.

It sounds like there might only be 10-15M Series X's sold. If MS cut the Series S requirement, there's even less reason to do an Xbox port.

I didn't realize the Series S is selling around parity with Series X, maybe the majority of Xbox Series consoles sold. There's no way MS can drop the support requirement.
