My first PCs, after getting back into PC again during the Pentium 2 | 3 era, were hand-me-downs from my dad combined with boxes of scrap parts kicked down to me by friends. Good times in piecing things together to get the most out of them for close to nothing but I didn't like that kind of look...
If true then I expect it DOA. The only chance this thing has is to be priced in the $600-800 range or less. I'll be shocked if it launches at $1k and is a hit.
I remember a very long time ago that you might be able to get high-end GPUs at a lower cost after release but that ended around pre-1080 Ti days and ever since, regardless of reason, I've seen those prices go up at some point after release. I still remember how the 1080 Ti skyrocketed to ~$1500...
So glad I got my AM5 build done last spring when rumors about this stuff started. I did it more because I just wanted to but also because it seems like there's always something causing prices to go up these days and I didn't want to wait until I couldn't afford it since everything is already so...

A double facepalm for this.
I hope all these rumors and brief clips are wrong, and they do commit to a 3rd single-player game. I'm fine if they stop single-player games after that, but I was really looking forward to a third game finishing the story.
Back to Horizon and the more I hear of stuff like this, the less chance of a single player 3rd game seems likely.

Agreed but next to impossible to get since Sony/MS/EA hardly ever give those #s unless there's a specific reason to. A shame because Battlefield could be doing far better than it seems. CoD #s for Steam were not available this morning but given the mixed bag of issues I listed, I have my doubts...
Funny never thought of DS3 that way but I only played it once, shortly after release, and never managed to complete another play through, although I can't count how many times I wanted to but stopped during the opening level after crashing on the planet. My biggest take away was the lack of...
The team over at Embark Studios has reason to celebrate as ARC Raiders continues to gain players while surpassing an established AAA franchise.

This could be going from bad to worse. Not doing a post on this yet as there's not enough to back it but in the meantime, a 3rd game might not be happening and the reason this isn't getting a PS5 release it that Guerrilla is rumored to be making its own MMO instead...
