This game is a masterpiece. I too made it to act 3 which is just "FUCK YOU DIE!!!" nearly every optional location lol. I havent seen a game do a difficulty power creep as well as this game. You need to learn to maximize builds and the skill system to do the high level stuff and its not just one or two special bosses, its enter optional areas of super bosses and enemies. All optional too. Its brilliant.
This weekend I managed to get a 5080 for $1200... sigh. But I put that baby into my PC, the last piece of the puzzle I have been waiting for and I have a PS6 now. This is absurd graphics, I can't believe the level of detail and smoothness I am getting. I was playing Exp 33 with vasceline on the screen, and at 40 fps which I thought was great. Now everything MAX, all RT crazy shit on and max, 4k, 60fps with no drops. The game looks like a went up a gen, cause I guess I did. I tried Cyberpunk which I played before even the PC I had now, I played that at like 25fps on shit mode. I turned it all on, path tracing, ray tracing, all the tracings! Whatever magic shit they have I put on... its WILD. It becomes semi photorealistic at times and I get like 45fps with everything maxed. I can tweek a thing or two to get it to 60. This card is a beast. I now understand all these people wanting RT on everything, its nice lol.
I also started Doom, I get 90fps with everything super max so great performance. I only played 4 levels but I am not enjoying as much as I hoped. I am one of the Eternal lovers, there are those that hated the direction Eternal went with maybe they like what they did her, to me its a huge step back at least early in the game. Its too much just parrying and shield bashing into punch combos. Its a ton of punching things... in Doom. Ehh.
I read an interesting article today by a HR guy who works for a tech firm in regards to working from home. In one part he mentioned that he monitors other tech companies' LinkedIn pages and waits for them to announce they are "returning to the office." Then immediately his company starts sending out offer letters to their best engineers and programmers. It been incredibly successful for them, and they recently nabbed 12 engineers from one competitor.
Long story short, returning to the office is a great way to lose talent.
I'm kind of with you on that. I'd love for Nintendo to focus on power like the SNES days but I'm afraid they won't in the future.
Amazing! I'm near retirement and am wondering if I'd like to work from home and teach online.
It certainly is. Just finished the main story and wow, fantastic stuff. The freedom they give you to tune your characters and party is incredible. Still have some optional things to do and make a different ending choice. Easily my GotY so far.
Congrats Duder.
I'm glad you got some value from it. I picked up a physical copy of it for around $25, thinking I had found a great sale. But really that's all it demands in the market at the moment. If you find it for a price in the single digits, it might be worth picking up. I can't deny that artistically the game does have a lot going for it.
I did think the environments in The Dark Ages look very flat and wide. Theres more enemies but what's happened to level design when everything is flat and open?
I hope they stay handheld. Since 2012 I've had the option of playing off screen or easily switching tvs when docked.Going back to a one tv setup will feel incredibly limiting to my play style.
It will drop in price digitally. I will wait as long as a statue on Easter Island.The T239 design was "taped out" in 2021, they could have released it in 2022, 2023 or even last year.
But the commercial success of Switch 1 meant they sat on it.
They should have had two target hardware designs in play, one for a sooner release and one more primed for a later release that could take advantage of more recent technology.
Still it's $450 now, God knows how much more a more powerful version would cost and what it's battery life would be.
Saw a video on it, haven't read it yet.
2 CPU cores are reserved for the OS and 3gb of RAM.
It looks like it has the same OS as Switch 1, so is it gamechat that needs that much RAM?
Since that camera is optional will more resources be used by developers when gamechat is not being used?
Also there seems to be a lot of headroom in clock speeds for the CPU and GPU.
The documentation shows a theoretical max of 1.7ghz for the cpu cores, but it's only being used at around 1 ghz.
Will it be raised with further updates?
Same for the gpu which is clocked at around 1 ghz but has a theoretical max of 1.4 ghz.
One thing about Nintendo I don't like, this goes for switch 1 too, they tend to take stock or similar hardware and don't run it at its full potential. They took the X1 Nvidia Shield and downclocked it all around. I guess because of thermals and battery life.
If t239 is based on t234 they gutted out a lot of shader cores.
I hope there's a plugged in offscreen mode that runs off the chain.
Congrats!
Man, I'd love to build an uber gaming PC but those prices remind me why I'm still primarily a console gamer. Also, I get really OCD with all the graphics options and fiddle with them more than playing, lol
I don't get this 3gb RAM reserved for Gamechat. I'm not using that damn camera so would my games have access to more resources, compared to someone streaming video to someone else?
3GB for video chat? That's nuts.
It's a prequel so it has to have simplified gameplay.
It look fun but repetitive. It reminds me of the Serious Sam games.
It didn't seem like that much of a departure to me. Sora learned to comb his hair.
That shot of Mickey Mouse on the chandeliers looked cool. I don't have an opinion beyond that, though, since I've never played that series
Nice to finally start seeing some Kingdom Hearts 4 stuff. Hopefully we’ll start seeing some trailers and the game isn’t too far away now. Really enjoyed the previous games so am looking forward to this new one.
