“over 60 of those hours were hunting the insects and fish at the end.”
Yeah, no thanks hahah
He really wanted the Platinum!
"Nintendo is going to charge less"
Sorry, I had to read that like 5 times....lol
I know Raytracing is set to low, but the fact that they managed to get Raytracing at all for performance mode on base PS5 is impressive.
AFAIK Standard - Classic, is just 'Normal' difficulty, but using Ink Ribbons.
Would have been nice to choose Hardcore/Insanity difficulty from the start, which is how I like to play my Survival Horror games. A lot of the difficulty, when selecting Insanity difficulty for a 2nd playthrough, is negated, as you are already familiar with the levels, enemies etc.
We don't need better graphics/hardware.
Some of the best games this generation didn't have high end current generation graphics. Heck, some had PS4 or even PS3 level graphics.
A lot of the games this generation that had the best graphics were either sub par, or it was not the reason that made them great. (Heck, no game that just has amazing graphics and nothing else, is great)
How can people say this was one of the worst generat...
It's weaker than a base Ps5 and that came out 5 years ago.
Maybe makes a good indie game machine for those that don't have a PC. That's about all its good for.
WOW - what a lineup. Seriously?!
Silent Hill 2, V Rising, Yakuza Like A Dragon, Until Dawn.
Why does the article use misleading terms like "Crushes" and "The 9070 XT "HANDILY BEATS" the more expensive RTX 5080" ? It even admits it at the end of the article, yet keeps the terms lol
Looking at the graph, the difference is only 4-19fps, depending on the settings.
I would hardly call a 4-19fps difference, "crushes" or "handily beats" and no one is going to buy a 9070 over a 5080 for COD alone. How d...
I never said anything about the Switch 2 console itself. I am talking about in general.
Typical Nintendo strategy. Only provide reduced amount of stock, say its “selling out” and create artificial demand.
UE5 strikes again. This has got to be one of the most poorly optimised engines around.
"On PC, however, performance was initially less stable until DLSS in quality mode was enabled, which restored a steady 60 fps at 4K resolution."
"Now, we have a 2 TB Xbox Series X that actually costs $50 more than the also-2 TB PS5 Pro"
I seriously had to read this 3 or so times and try and process it. lol
How dare people who spent thousands on their PC want the superior 4K native image quality over upscaling!
“Run at 1440p and use DLSS, because we can’t bother to optimise”
Heeere we go again.
Lets blame this all on video games, because you can't be bothered to address the mental health/instability of people, because it's too much effort, so lets blame it on something else and make it "look" like you are addressing gun violence and actually care in the first place.
Rightfully so. The greed made them blind to not being able to predict this backlash was going to happen.
Not sure why it would be. It's a platformer. It's not like its budget was very high. It's price is right where it should be based on that. They didn't look to price gouge the consumer like many AAA publishers do and over price their product, and they are getting positive recognition for that. The game is also awesome and deserves support.
It's also crazy how these smaller teams, with less people, are able to achieve something that a lot of games which ha...
Good!
Unlike recent games like MGS3 Remake (over charging for a short and existing game. Deserves to be pirated), this game should be supported, especially given its price point.
Teams like these deserve to be supported, especially with the effort and passion that has been put into the game and with the price point its at.
It's great to see even the pirating community deciding to support a developer when they deserve it.
By...
Exactly!
Which is why it's going to fail. You think the casuals are going to buy this? No. And for those who have a PC, or PS5 or Series X, why would you want to buy this when you can get a superior experience on those other devices? So what audience is left for the ROG Ally, especially at this price? A very small one.
It's a ripoff.
It cost more than a PS5 Pro, for what, just because its portable? Also less powerful.
Outside of certain particular game types, no idea why anyone would want to ruin a gaming experience by playing on such a small screen.
Handheld is great for casual gamers, look at the Switch 2.
I don't see casuals buying this either.
This is a failure before release.
I think its too late.
The damage was done during the Xbox One launch. Prior to that, the Xbox had a healthy market share in the US market, in fact, I believe it led Playstation. (if I remember correctly). Users then flocked to Playstation and it has been downhill ever since.
How are you going to convince users to come back when they have already built their digital library on Playstation?
You would have to go nuts on exclusives. Next El...
