You know what? There has never been a bubble that hasn't burst. web2.0 - gone housing - gone cryptomining - gone nft - gone metaverse - gone They all thought they were going to the moon. So why would the datacenter bubble be any different?

The only market segment this is viable for are PC gamers who already have a sizeable steam library and want a secondary system to play games in the living room on a TV. But the specs seem to weak to satisfy most enthusiasts. At this point this is just an expensive gimmick made for no-one.

I've played 4 and 5 for a total of about an hour between the two. Let's just say I wasn't impressed.

I still can't get over the title: E-day sounds like some green party fundraising event. 130 GB is not even out of the ordinary these days. There was no incentive to do anything about install sizes when ssd prices were at their lowest, but that's no longer the case. Compression wasn't just a...

I was not using steam for a long time for anything outside of half-life. My first 3rd party Steam game was DeusEx Human Revolution in Aug 2011, and I don't remember it being bad at that point. At 8 years old EGS can't use the excuse of being new or not having time to work it out. They simply...

It's been about 5 years since I opened EGS. I hope it doesn't. Not after their slimey tactics and complete disregard for the user experience. Hope for GOG to succeed instead.

If their goal is truly profitability then PC first is the most straightforward option. You don't have to spend billions on developing hardware and then convincing devs why they should use that HW over or besides all others. But I don't think the goal is just being profitable, they want to build...

It's just delaying the inevitable.

It's a "game" on par with mixtape. Gen-Z slop writing, handholding, impossible to fail faux "gameplay" nonsensical story, it thinks it is profound when it's just stupid. The protagonists are more evil than the villains. Bond looks like he has down syndrome. Should I go on? It sold 3 million...

Alien Isolation is more of an immersive sim than a horror game. I'm not into horror myself.

I refuse to get my hopes up. I assume they'll F this up until proven otherwise.

I bought a full new wheel set with a racing seat just for GT7, and it turned out to be the worst Gran Turismo to date, yes even including Sport. I waited about 6 months, but it seemed all they cared about is multiplayer which I give approximately two flying ducks about - never even tried it...

I honestly have no clue how much RAM is in any of the consoles. That was never a selling point. It was all about the games (and the fact that the PS3 was the cheapest bluray movie player on the market). But that was before Sony betrayed me twice. First they said, no our exclusives will never be...

Sure building a PC might have become a game in itself, but it all started with gaming, without that motivation doubt anyone would've gotten involved with PC building as a hobby.

No, boycotts never worked. It's just trying to get other people to not buy a product because of your grievances. Backlash however works, because everyone involved is invested in the grievance. Scalpers are a symptom of scarcity, not the problem itself. If scalpers didn't exist you'd still not...
