  1. Fair, it's just that I've never heard it talked about like that before. Perhaps not so surprising given almost my entire knowledge of baseball comes from The Naked Gun. Whenever the annual 10 hour trial of FIFA on EA Play rolls around, I start a career mode as a lower league player and figure I'll make a proper go of it. But then I get around a third of a season in (somewhere between a dozen games and two) and I feel I'm done with the game until the next instalment.
  2. I always assumed that MLB The Show was sort of like a talk-show or game-show spinoff based on baseball, as opposed to being a game where you actually play baseball. Huh. (Think BBC Match of the Day for Premier League football for example)
  3. He does like them a bit older.
  4. Hell, I'd be happy to buy 1440p again, provided it's both OLED and affordable (because I'd likely want to buy three of them at the same time).
  5. Yeah, for Americans for which the Super is a price drop it's just boring. But for the rest of the world, it doesn't even have that to fall back on. A quick look locally show the 4080S at $1800, the 4080 at $1600. Yeah, it's less than pointless, buyers who come in after the old stock dries up will potentially end up worse off overall in terms of frames per dollar. It's not even a matter of local stores price gouging on the shiny new release, nVidia formally set the MSRP to $1870. The refresh serves to interrupt the natural price drops of the old card and is in effect a price hike to prop up margins between now and the release of the next gen. To be fair, I'm not currently following the market in any meaningful way. When in this mode I only read the conclusion page or watch the last 5 minutes of a couple reviews and don't care to dig any deeper. I built my current system in early 2021 and yet three years it feels like only yesterday. 20 years ago, that kind of time period would have had seen me upgrade at least once, if not twice. I'm probably golden until something like The Witcher 4 releases in what, 2026-27 at the earliest?
  6. Will the spacesuit be made out of the same material as those "canvas" bags were?
  7. Last year I built a 5700G-based system in a SilverStone Milo 10 case, half for the novelty of it. This was after finding that my NUC8, which features Iris graphics better than the NUCs that came after it, was still incapable of running fairly light games like Rogue Legacy 2 - a side-scrolling platformer. It was basically the best I could do in a case of that size, which has absolutely nil support for a standalone video card. Hell, in the "short" case configuration I'm using, most CPU stock coolers don't even fit. So yeah, I guess I would be the target market for something like this.
  8. Based on the photographic evidence, it looks like some sort of Kinect revival game is on the cards.
  9. To be honest, as someone who's put 1000 hours into XCOM 1, I immediately disregarded Midnight Suns purely on the basis of it being a superhero game. I have no idea what the gameplay is actually like.
  10. I have 3h 25m logged apparently, all on (fake) launch day. With every passing day it becomes less likely I'll ever come back to it. I like Skyrim well enough, and have in the order of 150 hours in it. I gave both FO3 and FO4 more of a chance than I did Starfield, but even then I'd had enough after 20-odd hours. And I absolutely despise Oblivion. Even as someone who had used vim extensively, using vi was a harrowing and arduous task. (For context, after a year of using vim for all my regular coursework, exams were conducted on machines which only had plain vi)
  11. SoZ is the only form of NWN2 I played with any seriousness, though even then I quit just at the doorstep of the final dungeon because I didn't feel like I needed closure. I have very little memory of the original campaign, I couldn't even tell you if I got out of the tutorial because I don't remember anything other than something something village attacked, standard Obsidian temporary tutorial companion dies, then who knows. For MoTB I very clearly remember I quit the tutorial dungeon because a dungeon full of backstab-immune enemies is just no fun.
  12. I'm not a fan of Legendary Actions in principle either, though I sort of get why they exist to even up the action economy when encounter designers insist on designing an "epic" fight against one big bad who thinks fighting 1 vs 6 is a smart thing to do. But I think it's more reasonable to not design fights in that way in the first place, and Larian seemingly agrees judging from how they've approached their boss design where the boss never truly fights alone. (Granted I haven't seen any of the Act 3 bosses yet)
  13. Ironman feels a bit arbitrary in a game like this, because (I'm assuming) it's game over if your active party of four dies, but totally fine if three die and a fourth gets away and pays to resurrect the other three at camp. But for most of the game you have two other characters at camp anyway, who could easily pay to resurrect the four active members who did die.
  14. As someone who mostly traversed Night City by combination of bus and foot, that sounds right up my alley. I know some people feel that effectively teleporting around with public transport can be immersion-breaking, but for me it's nowhere near as bad as leaving my car in the middle of the road whenever I get to my destination.
  15. Some of the potential endings are pretty notable in how much scope they've seemingly been given to change the established Forgotten Realms lore. So why not conquer Hell itself?
