The last Blizzard game I ever played was Diablo 3. I didn't care for it. After a couple hours I abandoned it and never went back. I didn't think it was that good and nostalgia for the first two games weren't enough to carry me through the 3rd one.

I agree 100%

That's often what the DEI proponents say as they hide behind the excuse of "if you are against DEI you are racist / bigot / ist / phobe" or whatever. This isn't true. A lot of critics on Youtube that complain about this stuff I've seen are calling it where its appropriate for the most part...

They are already in damage control mode. EA/BioWare is going to claim piracy wrecked sales when that couldn't be further for the truth. Woke / DEI nonsense aside, the games live service underpinnings and cartoonish style worked against it from the start.

Again, woke / DEI is NOT the same as organic diversity. One stands out as its forced and out of place. The other doesn't raise flags because its normal and representative of whatever geographic location and time period the story takes place in. There have been shows that were supposedly woke or...

Agreed. I'm not fond of current GPU or motherboard prices either. They've gotten out of hand in the last few years. I used to be that guy who upgraded every generation and I may not be doing that going forward.

I'd also add that I grew up playing console games because my parents couldn't afford a PC. Back when I was a kid a sub-$1,000 PC that could play games didn't exist. Hell I had one friend that was into PC gaming and that's only because his family could afford a PC and his dad worked in the...

Being an exception to the rule yourself doesn't necessarily preclude the possibility that a data point is generally accurate. I make more than most people who don't have a high school or college degree. I don't even have my (G)ood (E)nough (D)ummy. I work in a technical field despite having no...

I've never cared about power consumption on a desktop part. As long as I can keep it cool enough to maintain reliability I'm happy. As for the price, I don't really expect it to be that much if any more than the RTX 4090 was.

Organic and natural diversity is NOT DEI. Let's make that abundantly clear. The 1987 film Predator stars an extremely diverse cast of characters. No one had a problem with that. In the setting and context of the film the diversity was organic. It also didn't matter if the cast belonged to one...

The Riva TNT2 Utra's were knocking 3DFX around before the GeForce became a thing.

That likely cost a fortune but they were sure Concord had "Star Wars level potential" when they invested in that crap.

Well there is a lot more that's come into play than DEI. The short version is that the games industry has effectively ended up mirroring Hollywood in a number of ways. Sure, the DEI crap is one of the biggest issues that's plaguing them but before that they had what I call MCU syndrome. After...

Agreed. I think they believe a pirated install is a lost sale and I don't think that's often the case. If you are interested in the game and can't afford it, you pirate it so you can play it. If you aren't interested in the game you aren't going to install it either way. Take Concord for...

Tencent can't do any worse with the Ubisoft IPs than Ubisoft has been doing for the last half-decade or so.

It just shows you how out of Touch ReTodd and his gang are. Interviews with him showcase this point and how little Bethesda understands their audience. Case in point, they added a vehicle to shorten travel times to POI's but the game still wasn't designed for it and the physics of it are worse...

1.3 was an improvement over the original release version but still felt very much like an alpha version of the game. It still had many unfinished systems, items, etc. 1.5+ felt like the game was at least in beta and 2.0/Phantom Liberty actually was closer to what we should have had when the game...

I got it for my Birthday and I've only played it with friends. I don't really enjoy it enough on its own, but with people I regularly play games with its an enjoyable experience.

I just tried it for the first time yesterday and I completely agree. I'm not sure why NVIDIA didn't just update their driver control panel and call it good, but its dated as hell and the app is much better than GeForce Experience. Unfortunately, it's kind of clunky and the overlay can cause...
