You might not be able to buy RTX3080, but you can buy shoes with it.

They also are supposed to allow to import H2 progress into H3 engine, unlike H2, were I had to do all H1 content from scratch to unlock the items, correct? Eh, it would be nice, if one were able to take advantage of engine upgrades and smaller install size on steam too, though I guess that, again we need to have access to hitman 3 to do so. Still, I don't mind having an extra year to play some more of H2, while waiting for Epic-free release of H3.

First build of mine. Special thanks to @Humanoid& @ComradeMasterfor suggestions and help! CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600x 3.7 GHz 6-Core Processor CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D15 Dual Radiator Motherboard: ASUS TUF Gaming b550-Plus RAM: Corsair Vengance LPX 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4 – 3600 CL18 System SSD: Crucial MX500 250GB 2.5’’ SATA SSD Gaming SSD: Samsung 860 Evo 1TB 2.5’’ SATA SSD GPU: Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3070 Aorus Master 8GB OC Case: Corsair 4000D Airflow ATX Power Supply: Corsair RMx 750 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular Monitor: Gigabyte G27Q 27’’ 2560x1440 144Hz Keyboard: Logitech G413 Mechanical Keyboard Mouse: Logitech G502 SE Freesync/G-sync are just the most brilliant invertion. I don't know how I lived without one before. Then again, before I was rarely able to run games at 60FPS not to mention above that.

Pride and Accomplishement. Seriously, what's up with that?

Uuuuu.... new Doom is on my "to play" list. Maybe I can run Doom remake on one screen, and original Doom on the graphic's card.

Yup, it's own LCD screen. You have this useless animated thing, but you can also set it up to show GPU info (tremperature, load, power draw, frequency etc) which I currently have it on. You can also upload your own picture of gif. VANITY! Yeah, I will be turning it all of, especially as the case will be on my left side. Otherwise, I might have kept the GPU info on.

Well, apparently you can use two cables (connect each 8 GPU pin to it's own PCIe power slot in the PSU) to provide it with enough power, especially with overclocking. That's what I did today following @Humanoid's advice. (it's super ugly with those space headers dangling, but I will take care of it tomorrow once I plug in remaining drives and tidy up come cables. A nice custom 16 pin cable does look very enticing right now. That said: Behold! It works. The graphic card though... really?

Hey folks, I am in the process in assembling my very first PC. My graphic card has total 16 pins (8 + 8). Is really this single monstrosity all I need to connect it? It feels kinda odd to plug all four heads, while while a single 8header goes into the PSU.

Hopefully they won’t drag H Ford to half ass VO.

Bethesda announced an Indiana Jones game, made by Wolfenstein folks: https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2021/01/12/bethesda-announce-indiana-jones-game/ Will all the glorious nazi killin'.... That's sounds actually really dope. I just hope it will be as fun as the source material, and not some grumpy dark ala-sad-Tomb Raider remake.

Well, had our burst of speculation, and now are waiting for an early gameplay trailer. Even though I am super curious, I don’t think I need to hear about “Avowed” again until they have something more definite to show closer to release. Though personally, I do put faith in rumour that the game takes place in Living Lands and that Forgotten Sanctum’s History of Eora XII book was a teaser for Avowed.

Yup. It said “pre-order estimated delivery Feb 16”, and the shop forced me to pay for premium deliver to deliver it to Norther Ireland from mainland UK. Then they sent it out same evening, and I got it the next day... 🤔.

Yeah, I mean Aorus Master OC 3070. Oddly enough, the preorder turned out to be a purchase, and graphic card is in my possession. Still, need to acquire the rest of the build, though I suppose that is that of me hoping to not buy the most expensive version possible. 😅 it’s pwetty though.

Microsoft is taking over AAA RPG territory. InXile is working one one as well apparently. Is there even money in it? Unless it’s Skyrim? EDIT. According to fairly reliable leaker it’s First Person RPG aim UE5. Fallout-like to Obsidian’s ElderScrolls like? On a definitely positive note, outside Deathloop Arcane is cooking something else. Another immersive sim I would hope, looking at who is involved:

🥳 Managed to secure an Aorus Master OC for mid February. Short supply is one way to not make we waver when spending £700. EDIT. I hear it needs some software update.

Oh absolutely not, and Josh sensibilities made PoE what it is, as why I like it. Deadfire, I think, also responds to PoE1 issue, where some major background information are just put in the books. There is a balance between those two. I have written before on how a protagonist tied to Deadfire conflict personally, might be a better vessel for this journey then importing the Watcher. As to “shorter campaigns” - that’s pretty much Bioware approach. Still, more coherent and interconnected Obsidian way worked before - New Vegas being a shining example of excellence and in many ways Deadfire draws from it. PoE2, however, feels disjointed and artificial in a way New Vegas didn’t 🤷‍♂️

He was not only writer for Edér, but also the narrative lead for PoE1. I do think his absence is felt but at the same time it also could the result of Obsidian trying to respond to PoE1 criticisms.

So, as I am not able to buy anything, I have been trying to research RTX 3070s - as to if one day they become briefly available, I shall not hesitate which one to try to basket. I am mainly eyeing with lust ASUS’s, and my question is: would I make a big mistake going for non-OC version? ASUS TUF looks tempting at £600, though I am curious what I am loosing by not spending £100 more on strix OC. it being my first PC build I don’t plan to overclock. I also don’t think I need extra HDMI. Does one need to buy OC if one wants to overclock, or does OC version just makes it easier to do? Will I loose anything significant by not going for OC version?

Wait... KFConsole is not a LOLZ joke? 🤯

Nothing they said suggested disappointment. I don't know how well d3 sold, but it was reviewed well. Something to keep is mind is that Nordic bailed them from shutting down, so I doubt they are unhappy about the collaboration. https://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/310894/Postmortem_Mimimis_Shadow_Tactics_Blades_of_the_Shogun.php

Uuu, I will add it to my watchlist. I stumbled on his “F3 is garbage, and here is why” a long time ago, and he won me over. This is just pandering at this point.

THQ Nordic is the owner of the IP, so I dont know If you will be giving money to the dev team or the publisher. I am glad you enjoyed it though, I loved both of their recent titles. Luckily for you, Mimimi will be self-publishing their next title, so it will be an excellent occasion to show them your support. EDIT. As you mentioned you are new to the genre I think the first Desperados: Wanted Dead or Alive is well worth giving a go, if you don’t mind a little retro-playing. It’s been patched up to work smoothly on modern systems, and it controls surprisingly well for a game from around 2000. It is a wee bit less elegant then Mimimi’s modern design, but it still has plenty going for it.

Yeah, I know. Official G-syncs are too pricey for my taste. I am at the moment leaning towards Gigabyte G27Q. ISP, flat, 1440p Freesyncs. Seems like a good value for money.

I can't imagine anyone being happy for C77 launch. You have been crunched to rush the project, while management lied about games state and progress. A big chunk of W3 goodwill is being burned, and without a doubt CDPR reputation isn't as it was a month ago. It's a shame.
