I blame steam demo week. I managed to get in 5-6 demos plus marathon server test. I probably would have tried this horizon survival cash in just for the novelty. One of these days I'll actually try to finish HZD.
People will go back if the financial side works. If we go back to $300 consoles, especially in this economy they would get people switching back. I don't see that happening though. Sony raising the price of PS+ to $80 a year and no real discounts being offered in the first year of that change...
Its possible but they will need a lot, lot, lot of marketing cash and they will be doing it to the current young generation 10-18 year olds over the next 10 years. Older people won't buy into it much besides some peer pressure. The pricing wars with the economy and the last ten years of crypto...
Yeah, I've had the drivers from Nov/Dec '24 downloaded for awhile in case I needed them. I've just been lazy since I've had no major problems. From all the bad reports I've had no desire to touch any drivers from Jan to July.
I'm running 14 month old drivers on my 2060S, starting to get minor problems on some newer games. I should probably jump up to last year's Dec. drivers now at least. Getting tired of Dune Awakening telling me my drivers are out of date every launch and making click on an extra box to run the game.
Well, at least it is another obvious lesson to teach the young and ingorant of how there is a ram cartel. Though since data storage is now reliant on ram too... perhaps hard drive will make a comeback. At a time when many new games require ssd's. Yay.
Ive done 2-3 missions in GTAV story mode. Probably 500 hours in multiplayer with friends over years though. Same with RDR2, though that story seems more interesting once past the starting missions. I just dont have a huge desire to grind through the story modes after leveling up in MP.
Sadly, given current software and its bloated code and overly pretty graphics we are moving away from basic graphics capable chips (especially built in to cpu ones) being a good deal anymore. My 8th gen intel i5 laptop is showing signs of gpu problems far earlier than the 4th gen I5 laptop did.
I thought I'd post a new version of this thread from AT over here since the original poster hasn't been around on AT for awhile.
People's thoughts for 2025 and beyond? How long will 10/12GB handle 1080p with the advertised bells and whistles that sell cards today?
A work in progress of the...
