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...

Classic Marathon 2 is coming to Steam soon. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2398490/Classic_Marathon_2/

I don't know about their newest version, but I've read about the Nexus mod manager having issues in the past. I'd use Wabbajack instead. https://www.wabbajack.org/ Wabbajack modlists can also be found on Nexus and other places.

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...

Trying to get the last 4 tasks done before the Season of the Construct ends in Diablo IV next Tuesday. "Just" need to grind one more glyph to level 15, kill Avarice one more time, kill Echo of Duriel, and complete a Tier 90 Nightmare Dungeon.

The Xbox division isn't run by Satya Nadella. The CEO of Xbox is Phil Spencer and the President is Sarah Bond. And Xbox is losing money hand over fist. The only reason I can see Nadella continuing to allow Xbox to exist is the growth potential for subscriptions, and since that isn't playing...

Says $368 for me, whether or not I'm signed in.

I think they said as much that they're doubling down on live service games earlier this year, learning absolutely nothing from this debacle. You'd think the massive success of Hogwarts Legacy would have taught them that people are more interested in complete single player experiences instead.

Millennials are by far the largest group of anime consumers. It makes sense because the explosion of its popularity happened in the early-mid 1990s thanks to an increase of imports that aired on network television. You have to basically seek it out yourself these days since the plurality of...

According to their earnings call, Warner Bros. lost $200 million EBITDA on Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. In total the game publishing arm of WB had a YOY decline in revenue of $400 million. This perfectly contrasts to WB's success with Hogwarts Legacy in the Q1 earnings call from...

New update add online and local co-op and PvP modes to the game. https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/692850/view/4187861970974701721

28nm. 22nm was an Intel process.

The specs for the Enhanced Edition are a bit higher.

I haven't looked at the details in the latest earnings call, but for the quarter ending December 31 the Xbox division had a net operating loss of $440 million. The cost of integrating Activision Blizzard King into the business may have contributed to that loss. 1% growth in the following...

I think that has more to do with the quality of the content they're putting out, along with discussion of a subject that belongs in Soapbox. The short of it without getting political is that more and more people are getting sick of large entertainment corporations attacking them. It used to be...

I posted a link to the PS5 version since "disc" and "second hand" was mentioned. The PC version isn't even out yet and there will be no disc version, which is what led me to the PS5 version.

In a bid to enhance security for normal users, Bitlocker encryption will now be enabled by default when you install the 24H2 update for Windows 11. You will need to enable a registry entry to prevent encryption if you do not want it on your install. Bitlocker encryption noticeably decreases...

It's not the lack of fans that is the issue, it is obstructing the fans' ability to draw in outside air. InWin, for example, is notorious for making expensive cases where the intake is covered by glass. I don't know why their designers think this is a good idea.

Bumping the correct thread with new information. Nintendo confirmed that they will be announcing the successor to the Switch this fiscal year during their last financial earnings call. Nintendo's fiscal year runs from April 1 through March 31. It will not be announced at the big Nintendo...

The PC version of Ghost of Tsushima comes out in a week.

The game runs fine with 32GB.

Looks like the EA money is actually paying off in this case. The game has never looked so good from a realism perspective. I've always had gripes with the track models, but it looks like these are all new high resolution laser scans.

That would mean we need to get rid of Steam, just so you know. And you still need a GOG account to buy and download their standalone installers. I also don't miss needing to set aside up to 2 hours to install a game from a disc or discs, which is how long it took to install the last physical...

Redfall is one of those games that was in development during lockdowns and they worked from home. I keep hearing about how WFH increases and improves productivity, but I think this game is a poster child of how that is absolutely not true when it comes to large collaborative projects. This is...

Nothing but more support for updates and expansion packs. Funny how they fought off their acquisition by Bethesda as Humanhead Studios during Prey 2's development and are now not only owned by them, but sent to the ESO mines.

Gamestop is selling new copies of the PS5 version for $40 vs. the $70 it is everywhere else. https://www.gamestop.com/video-games/products/ghost-of-tsushima-directors-cut---playstation-5/301563.html
