While you don’t technically own the DRM games you buy on Steam, it’s a whole world different than putting games behind subscriptions.

The point is, hardware is powerful enough for native 4K, but instead of that power being used properly, games are made quickly and then upscaling technology is slapped on at the end. DLSS has become a crutch and Nvidia are happy to keep pushing it and keeping a reason for you to buy their GPUs every generation, because otherwise we are at diminishing returns already.

It’s useful for use on older hardware, yes, I have no issue with that, I have issue with it being used on hardware that could otherwise easily run 4K 120FPS+ with standard rasterization and being marketed as a ‘must’.

Legitimate upscaling is fine, but this DLSS/FSR ML upscaling is dogshit and just introduces so many artifacts. It has become a crutch for developers, so they dont build their games properly anymore. Hardware is so strong and yet games perform worse than they did 10 years ago.

Yes, fuck all this frame generation and upscaling bs.

Well, yeah, you are right. They only sell at a loss initially until the hardware is old and therefore cheaper.

Oh yeah, they will still have “cheap” ones, but they will make these “Pro” versions more and more expensive.

PCs are a lot easier to use than they used to be, you don’t have to mess around like you used to, just the initial setup (which is done for you if you buy a prebuilt one anyway).

But yeah, the initial cost puts people off, even though the long term savings are incredible. Ignoring the cheaper cost of games, just from the console online subscriptions over 5 years, you are saving over $400 (and the last generation of consoles was 8 years, so that’s well over $600 of savings).

I’d highly recommend anyone tries PC, you have so much more freedom than you do on a console. There’s a reason the PC market share is growing so fast.

Consoles exist to grift, now they are realising they might not need to sell the actual hardware at a loss anymore.

I agree, but people wouldn’t willingly watch that :D

The game awards is just an advertising show. I don’t understand why anyone watches it.

Like any awards show, the awards are completely subjective anyway, so it’s completely pointless to even care about them, it’s not like an old gaming magazine’s recommendations.

I know it’s easy to say, especially in your case when its a kid, but just dont buy or play games with kernel AC.

These companies only understand money.

Anti cheat should be server side.

And CP2077 was in development for 7+ years, what’s your point?

That they are using UE5 this time, so they can cut more corners in development and have us a nice blurry mess out by the end of next year?

I don’t buy triple A games anymore unless it is really far down the line, so don’t worry. They would have to really surprise me.

I will believe it when I see it because I don’t believe their words at all. CDPR have good PR, but it’s still all corpo bs underneath.

This is already an early trailer, so it seems they are following in CP2077’s footsteps so far.

Seems a bit early.

Along with some restriction to their wealth relating to where the money was earned, so they can’t just leave the country with it all.

Chances are it’s going to release full of bugs and be missing half the content they market to us.

Don’t believe anything these companies say, judge the game by how it releases, assume the typical modern day AAA bullshit until proven otherwise.

I completely agree, I never buy them.

How is it insane? These games are made to take your money, so they quickly get cheaper until they no longer make meaningful sales. It’s why you should never buy AAA games for the first 6-12 months (if ever honestly), they will very quickly be a lot cheaper after the publishers scam from the initial hype purchases.
