You need a very fast SSD because of asset allocation. Not because of RT. It was made to showcase how the PS5 could handle "loading" new levels without hiccups. The devs didn't repeat assets to because they're easily accessible on SSDs. Repeating assets ends up bloating the size of a game.

So, no, an HDD is not going to do well.

The same people who believe the USA has a justice system and laws. They erroneously believe that the same laws that apply to them also apply to the ultra rich and powerful.

At one time Microsoft was deemed a monopoly while in the same week in the US, Exxon and Mobile were able to merge.

I think this is more of what is a trend by game corporations. In Hollywood, it's called Hollywood Accounting. The more money you claim to have spent on the IP, the less money you "profited." The less you "...

Don't sleep on It Takes Two. It is a very intense game that really nails some mature themes.

$185 on Amazon right now. I would recommend going with a known brand that is supported by the architect of the system.

Yeah. Starfield is in the "This Game is Complete" genre while Star Citizen is in the "Supposed to Launch 9 years ago" genre.

For some people, they can do no right.

They've released more new IPs in the last 10 years than any of the major publishers, which means they're willing to take risks.

Even if I may not like one of their games, I appreciate that.

They literally did this to themselves, BUT set themselves up for a redemption arc. They claimed after the disastrous launch that they would "support the game for years" and that there would be "multiple expansions."

They could have fixed the game, gave an expansion out of good faith, and planned more.

Instead we get ONE paid expansion and a false claim about the failure of the launch.

Absolutely. And I am going to grab Starfield for my PC.I'll grab Fable for the PC as well.

Twitter users have dwindled. I wonder if it's just that: all the positive players, and people who would be constructive left Twitter leaving nothing but trolls.

Maybe they should delete the twitter account.

They were on track to doing things much better. They fixed tons of issues, revamped maps, then inexplicably, messed with the PS5 controls. It was a decent game. 7-7.5.

Guns felt "weighty" there was solid recoil (except for the M16). And then, 2 updates ago, every gun handled exactly the same and haptic feedback was gone. No recoil They haven't fixed that.

So I stopped playing a month ago.

This is the best comment on this whole story. This game is worth every penny. Such a great story, mechanics, etc.

Oh, and one of those rare launches that wasn't a bug ridden mess.

Taking words out of context is illogical.

Before you sling accusations about someone's logic, why not ask a question if YOU don't understand.

Most of the people here know that media manipulates people into believing demonstrably fallacious ideas. There are thousands of studies about this. There are thousands of studies about how the American media corporations falsely depict the USA as an inherently dangerous ...

That his country has one of the highest murder rates on the planet, without video games.

Oh and school attacks are on the rise... yes, in Brazil.

I've been here for 50 years too. There were some really violent times in the past. I've never even heard a gunshot in my whole life.

You can't reason with people who are so easily manipulated by the media like Senorfartcushion is.

Check out the launch videos of Unreal Engine 5. There were some very great criticism from developers that were akin to your statement.

The videos put that to rest.

I had done something similar a few years back. Went on Twitter just for hockey. Just hockey. I deleted it two weeks ago because the hockey accounts were inundated with people talking about politics because the hockey teams held a pride night (they have been having them for years). It was so weird.

Because I want time to play both. That's why.

LOL.

Barack Obama was still president of the United States when this game was supposed to release.
