Windows 11 is getting worse with ads and feature bloat while Microsoft stopped crippling W10 because it's coming up on end of life...so W10 is experiencing an uptick
"PC has been a huge part of the success of Helldivers II in the US. With PC, Helldivers II is already the 7th highest grossing Sony published game in history. Without PC it wouldn't currently rank among the top 20"

I'm shocked this...
with the success of the new Fallout TV series on Amazon I wonder if they fast-track another Fallout game while putting anything Starfield related on the backburner

Nearly 10 years after the release of Batman: Arkham Knight, a new addition to the series is finally on the way called Batman: Arkham Shadow, and...unfortunately it's a VR game, exclusive to the Meta Quest 3
The new game is being developed by Camouflaj and Oculus Studios, in partnership with...

as a huge fan of Rocksteady's Arkham games I'm disappointed they were forced to make this game that they obviously were not passionate about...the Arkham games had such beautiful craftmanship and attention to detail...the guys making it were obviously huge fans of the source material...Suicide...
I played Fallout 4 with the HD Texture Pack and can't say I noticed any visual upgrade...maybe side by side comparisons you can see something...I was hoping this new 'next-gen' update would be a bigger improvement but it doesnt sound like it...
Fallout 4's 'next gen' update is over 14 gigs...
that's not anything unique with the iPhone 15...you can say that the 14, 13, 12, 11 etc weren't significant upgrades that warranted people upgrading their older models...Apple will go through their ebbs and flows but in the long run is one of the best stocks to hold onto long term...they aren't...
new update including the following modifications and fixes:
・Reducing the infection frequency of dragonsplague and adjusting the signs of Pawns infected with dragonsplague to be more noticeable
- For example, when infected, glowing eyes will be more noticeable
・Adding the option to zoom in on...
I'd love an unlocked frame rate but I think the 60fps lock is tied into the gameplay as far as precise timings and windows for parries, blocks, rolls etc...unlocking the frame rate might cause their games to have issues with the things most people love about it in terms of fluidity of motion and...
Dark Souls 1 was a poor PC port but still an excellent game (I used the DSFix mod)...starting with DS2 and going forward they really improved...are they the best PC ports?- no...but the games have relatively few bugs and performance is mostly fine (unless you really notice frametime...
I played this a week or two after it launched and loved the game...yes there were stutters but it didn't distract from the overall gameplay and it wasn't egregious enough to be a dealbreaker...it was less annoying than Fallen Order's stutter issue
follow-up: also my point regrading Hexworks was that they stood behind their game and continued to support it until it was fully patched...most developers don't do that...they release a few patches and then abandon the game- the Dead Space remake and the PC version of Returnal are 2 recent...
it's never going to happen...a game will never be released in perfect condition on PC...they can only test it with so many configurations...they need to release it before it can be bug free/performance optimized...not to mention new features etc
EDIT: I'm now much more patient with new...
Apple is still one of the best investments you can make...they can easily withstand a small bump in sales etc...they are constantly innovating, evolving and releasing new products...one of the best long term stock investments
"We've released over 30 updates to address gameplay feedback and technical hiccups...we are delighted to confirm that the likelihood of any in-game crash is now less than 1%...save game hitches have been fully resolved and frame rate has been significantly improved across all platforms"
I love how the developer (Hexworks) supported and patched this game...all other developers need to take note and follow suit...they acknowledged that the game launched with issues related to the new UE5 engine and sometimes released multiple patches a week and didn't stop until most or all of...

they need to officially announce the 3rd and final game in the trilogy...sucks that Stig Asmussen left Respawn as he was one of the major reasons for the success of this series but I'm hoping whoever's left can deliver a satisfying ending
just create a 'fake' account using a throwaway/Spam e-mail address...that's what I always do...no need to overcomplicate things by creating a Local account etc...everyone should have multiple e-mails...only use your 'real' e-mail for banking and other official business
this is what is comes down to with the entire AMD vs Nvidia debate...if you care about ray-tracing go with Nvidia...if not go with AMD...DLSS used to be a big win as well for Nvidia but AMD seems to be getting better with FSR
