People have complained about ASUS' RMA process for many years. One of the caveats I think that is always said on this forum is to hope you never have to RMA your parts when you buy ASUS.

Me still waiting for Bloodborne and Demon's Souls:

Haven't tried it yet post-patch, but it was always a thing as far as I can remember.

Yes, it's installed on my SN850X. Transitioning from indoors to out and vice versa takes as long as an HDD. It took anywhere from 20-45 seconds when I was playing around with the new patch after it came out. It should only take a few seconds if the loading screen wasn't tied to the framerate.

The concept of cannibalizing sales is badly defined, in my opinion. The publishers and developers get paid a rate by Microsoft based criteria that are not public, but we could deduce that one criterion is the number of potential subscribers and the amount of time they would spend playing the...

Would like an official fix for the loading time issue, too. These are all outstanding issues that have been around for 9 years.

I agree with World of Warcraft. Every publisher tried to replicate WoW's success for a decade after it came out by releasing clones of the game, but WoW wouldn't exist without EverQuest. Coincidentally, MMORPGs as we know them could also be traced back to Ultima. Ultima Online, in this...

Alt+0246 makes the ö in Ragnarök if you were not aware.

It's not, but the subversion is so pervasive now that it's hard for even "normies" to ignore, which is why the discourse has heated up in the past couple years. The reality is that this pot has been slowly boiling for the past 15 years, which is what allowed it to reach this point.

It's literally the same game engine, which means the face was changed on purpose. It's not about inconsistency, it's about the fact that they took a decent model from the original game and changed it in the pseudo sequel for no reason. You see the same thing with MJ going from Spider-Man to...

That is the way PlayStation is doing it with their PSN model, so I can definitely see Xbox doing the same.

I could never get into the Ultima games, though I understand its importance for the RPG genre. Most role-playing games up to that point were dungeon crawlers while Ultima is one of the first to give us the open world exploration that is expected these days. Even its predecessor Akalabeth was a...
