While I swallowed Hades as a raspberry, Hades 2 somehow didn't catched me. I gave it about 5 hours and was squeezing my mouth rather than feel some excitement... hmmm
@get2sammyb We would respect existence of GaaSes if developers kept balance between them and singleplayer games. They broke that balance, so they have to eat that filthy soup they cooked... We are only reaction for their actions.
@streetshadow You are the best example of consume economy thinking person. "Exclusives are the best." So customers, to have access to everything, have to buy almost dozen machines, buy subscriptions of more than dozen platforms, and pay, and pay, and pay...
I give you some fictive examples of game exclusivity similarities which are so absurd, yet so close.
"This book cannot be printed, because it was exclusively writen for Kindle bookreaders."
"This road is Volkswagen only. Buy another car."
"You cannot play this game from Seagate HDD, Western Digital hard drive required."
...so it is about stupid restrictions companies think it leads to better sales of their products. It's not working this way anymore...
I cannot say why, but I was never die hard fan of these games. I rather liked Golden Axe, Spy vs Spy, R-Type, Streets of Rage, Altered Beast... I've tried to play Sonic now and then and it just didn't catch me as same as Shinobi. I'm looking forward Total War WH40K but nothing else...
...and that's why I want to buy new Xbox... Two worlds (PC and console) in one place. I'm tired of constant decisions, where to play. For example I'm waiting for No Rest For The Wicked over a year, because I have only PS and Switch... Games should be everywhere (if possible).
Am I the only one who feel Ray Tracing as more artificial than standard render? Even if you raise brightness to "atom bomb flash" heights it's still too dark and "light consuming". Maybe it reflects light more realistic, but overall ilumination is pushed down to almost zero. I don't want realistic reflection I just want to see something... and I'm sorry, but shadows are never pitch black...
It is always fun to watch monetizations in games... Some are on the edge of back alley theft, some are so out of mind like ducktaped banana on the wall for £120K... One way or another, I'll never understand why people freely give money for nothing.
If that costume would give something that affects game.... no... just differently colored pixels...
In our coutry you get huge fines if you won't sell product for price placed on it that customer already seen. If you had sale and didn't changed price tag it's your fault, not customers.
PC games, if true, is huge advantage for new xbox and for many many gamers it solves lot of problems. And you know what? Xbox deserves renaissance. We've seen how Sony acts when they are fearless and it's not good. And I still don't get, why should X and PS release at once? If Sony is so firm about itself, then let Xbox release whenever they want (as same as Nintendo) and cook PS6 properly, or we end up with "PS5" rushed system again.
Hey Jaffe, I had same feeling while running GoW 2018 game for the first time. And you know what? It didn't get any better. The only, one and only good thing about that game was that deep voice of snake dragon, rest of that game was utter excrement...
@Ravix picture you posted as example shows the opposite. RTX off picture looks more real. RTX on picture looks like scenery is lit by white bulb, not sun (even behind clouds). Maybe that problem for RTX is choice of light source in scenery. One way or another, RTX off looks more natural in a way how light spread.
This choice looks like leftovers next morning after party. You pick that only one full plate and after first bite you immediately realise why no one touched it whole night.

Re: Crimson Desert PS5 Concern as Physical Copies Won't Run without Download
@LeeBB_Art Principle... It is not about you have or haven't something, it's about you can or cannot.
You insert disc, it's not working. End of the line.

For machine that runs Steam and GOG games I would give easily $1500. Still cheaper than average PC.
