My understanding is that parry doesn’t work at all against certain enemy strikes, and that the player is provided with no visual clue that this is the case. If true, then that’s a design flaw, imo.

If you can find a way, then find a way… gaming is a huge part of our lives. OP, imagine if you had gone blind instead. That hasn’t happened. You can still participate. I realize that what I’m about to say is way easier said than done (and I...

DEI is bullshit anyway because it cancels entire groups (such as boys or white males) but it also ignores groups that have no voice and are completely unseen, such as the elderly and the infirm. Older people are barely represented in film, and...

Elon is so savage.

You have to hand it to Ubisoft though. They found the one guy in Japan in the 1500s who was black.

Previously, I was using a Thrustmaster T300 and I loved it. I decided to buy the F1 wheel (the SF1000) which would have worked fine with my previous wheel base. The inclusion of the T818 direct drive wheel base (by purchasing the bundle instead)...

I bought this wheel and base two days ago, chiefly for this game. https://shop.thrustmaster.com/en_eu/t818-ferrari-sf1000-simulator-eu.html I’ve tried this wheel and base combo on two games now, F1 23 and WRC, and the experience was kind of...

I’m really looking forward to playing this. Back in the day there was a company called Cinemaware that produced spectacular looking games in which actual gameplay was secondary to the atmosphere. I loved those games, It Came From The Desert...

Has this been mentioned yet? https://www.pcgamer.com/games/rpg/it-turns-out-you-can-find-idris-elbas-cyberpunk-2077-character-hanging-out-and-working-a-regular-job-in-night-city-before-the-expansion-starts/ God I love this game.

Hellblade 2 is a story-driven experience more than what one might think of as a typical game, let alone a triple-A juggernaut. This is evident in how input is handled - there are many scenes where you push up, watch an animation play out, then...

Yay Assassin’s Creed. I love this series for its open-world-ness. I’ll be playing as the Japanese Shinobi, but thanks to Ubisoft for being inclusive and at least allowing me to play as a black man from Africa. Yay inclusivity. Now just bring on...

Children, I advise you use the Ignore function to not incur Kyle's wrath.

I don’t think people are being literal when they say it’s free on Gamepass. They’re just communicating that if you’re subscribed, or are going to subscribe, you can play the game without having to pay full price for it. It’s like when you’re...

Gaming related, for sure. https://www.pcgamer.com/software/windows/pc-user-annoyed-about-task-manager-jumping-around-gets-told-how-to-fix-it-with-one-buttonby-the-developer-that-built-the-application-30-years-ago/ LOL

I have KEF speakers so have the Uni-Q point-source driver setup which works miracles for surround sound stereo imaging in games like this. Those whispers sound surreal and immersive. I have planar headphones but they are currently sat on my desk...

I enabled Japanese voiceover, but found that I couldn’t concentrate on what was being said, so I switched back. I might try Japanese again though.

I have pity on anyone who would take a day off from work to play a game. What you really want to do is play the game AT work. Failing that… punch in… then ‘excuse yourself’ and return later on.

Headphones? Did someone say headphones?

The game runs at 30 FPS with a 21:9 aspect ratio on console. They had to do that for the same reason The Order: 1886 did: They couldn't hit their performance target at a full frame resolution. The excuse that it's "cinematic" is pure bullshit...

On a 4090 at 3440x1440, with frame-gen enabled and DLSS set to Quality, I’m averaging about 65 FPS at max settings.
