Re: Valve's Steam Machine May Not Be As Affordable As a PS5

dardel

for a machine that was deemed as "not a competitor" to PS (still believe it is not), I can see a lot of comments from PS-only players towards the gabecube. I dont really think any PC player thought after the presentation and the specs that this machine will be as cheap as a PS. Neither "hardcore" PC gamers will benefit from this (it is just not that strong). But I do believe many gamers will find this interesting, specially it the price will be around the 1000€ tag. I would be personally more interested in the steamdeck successor, since my 5080RTX rig is way better than the steam machine.

Re: Arc Raiders to Be Packed Full of More Content Before the Year Is Over

I am still a bit hesitant to get it. Two of my buddies are playing and having a blast, but since OW I am off of PVP games. But this game looks really good, maybe I will go for the 2hour trial and see. Good to see that there will be an ongoing support this early, I guess they are trying the "forever game" way.

Re: Sony Game Helldivers 2 Is Proving a Monstrous Success on Xbox

@TheDudeElDuderino the patch hit us and it seems to be fixing a lot of technical issues (but not all). we held yesterday a 3-hour run with my friend and at least for him it didnt crash so its a positive. I didnt go into the balance details but I heard that they nerfed incendiary weapons which is a bum (started to like the coyote a bit much).

I assume this is not a problem for consoles but currently the PC version is quite broken. Many people are having hard locks on their PCs and nobody knows why (my friend who I onboarded into it is crashing every day, I have no issues on a similar rig). It seems that they are delivering a patch within a week so lets see. High hopes on that patch so we can resume playing together (awesome game btw).

Re: Monster Hunter Wilds Endgame Update Certainly Won't Please Everyone as Patch Notes Are Revealed

dardel

from what I read the PC optimization is really poor, hence the recent negative steam reviews. Ive been playing Wilds on PC with a friend only because our HW is high enough to force high fps at high resolutions. Hard to tell if this game with its engine can be improved (from what I heard it cannot).
regarding the content, I have another friend who has played all MH games and he is complaining a lot about the lack of content on Wilds, and this update might not fix those complains.

Re: 'This Is About Moving the Industry Forward': PlayStation and AMD's Partnership Will Benefit All Gamers

@OldGamer999 I’m with you on this one, wondering why neither Sony not MS is choosing nVidia. It’s been a long time sinxe AMD had a competitive high end GPU, why not wanting the best GPU for your (best) console?
If by the time the next gen consoles are released and both will use the same AMD HW, I guess it will be again who has the better exclusives/system sellers (unless Ms decides to go with a way cheaper HW).

Re: Opinion: Diablo 4's Story Campaign Is Well Worth Playing on PS Plus

dardel

Agree with the statement, “for free” is a good game with a nice campaign and good gameplay. I haven’t missed any season yet and are eager to start the new season in July (late July due to summer vacation), but completely understand people that don’t want to sink 70+h in every season (I do and have fun doing it)

Re: PS Plus Essential Games for July 2025 Announced

dardel

I might be one of the last people enjoying D4 and playing every season. I will not recommend buying D4, for many reasons, but if you have PS plus for sure give it a try. At least the story campaign is good enough.
PS: anybody knows if I get thr ps+ version and login with my battle net user, can I continue with my progress from battle net?

Re: 25+ PS5, PS4 Games You Must Buy Cheap in PS Store's Indie Sale

@themightyant The House in Fata Morgana is 100% VN, besides reading and taking decisions (very small amount, if I remember less than 10?) there is nothing else (no combo VN - other genre). But the story is great, fantastic music and good visuals. No voice over besides laughs or screams depending on the script.
If you dont mind a 100% visual novel then for sure go for it, one of the best VN I've ever played.
