Not shaming anyone who buys any of these

But why are these cards so popular exactly

Are they like a decade future proof minimum or something

I can't even imagine how most current games could look any better on a Series X at the moment, let alone on a GPU three times the price lol

Ah okay. You did place another order while complaining to Doordash I hope? You might even get some credit out of it

Sometimes they canceled it if the order wasn't picked up within an hour.

How much were you planning to tip? Dashers can see bigger tips in advance and sometimes that influences their decision to pick up orders faster

The Nintendo online is literally just called Nintendo Switch Online

But the actual online infrastructure or whatever it's called is still Nintendo Network

This is fine

No really it is. It makes it consistent with PlayStation and Nintendo Network

It got its Series X upgrade and so now I figured it would be as good a time as ever

However I also saw it being sold for as low as tree fiddy so I'm worried it might be going the Destiny route in terms of content needed to progress

Anyone here have opinions on it?

I don't understand this hate RE3R gets

It did probably the safest thing a remake could do, pretty much copy and paste a previous successful remake

I bought it full price with few regrets

Shane about that multiplayer though, maybe another time

Meanwhile I'm worried they're gonna ruin RE4, it's not easy remaking perfection

Broccoli

Chop it up into bite-sized portions, put on a baking sheet, sprinkle with salt/pepper and toss in the oven for a few minutes

Or even better, just buy those steam bags that you put in the microwave for a few minutes

Broccoli is one of those foods that tastes good no matter how you cook it really

It really isnt lol, prerelease said it would be 10-13 hours but in reality its about the same as the DS4 if not a little longer

Meanwhile the Xbox Elite 2 controller has the same battery life as the Switch Pro controller, thats wild

i dont really care about sony controllers but at the very least, the dpad is very nice for fighters

Upon second look Id say the DualSense D-Pad is way better than the DS4 D-Pad, which felt really stiff even after long usage

Basically at a certain distance all screens look the same, quality-wise

Its probably why 4K in movie theaters is easier to notice than 4K on a smaller TV

Its why smartphone displays with 1440P AMOLED screens arent everything either, if youre not eyeballing it then its the same as an iPhone LCD screen at arms length, visually

I was looking at the Arctis 7 series but I dont think Ill be a fan of the bungee style headband its more expensive models have

That USB-C adapter is a massive bonus too, finally I can have some wireless headphones for the Switch

It also uses that tough type of plastic that I dont think will get weaker over time and has a steel headband like any good headset

Yeah Im glad I took a chance on these

Its a bigger DualShock 4 with the HD rumble from the Switch Joycons (and the stick drift too, from the looks of it) and admittedly cool force feedback triggers. Meanwhile it lasts about the same as the DS4 (which is to say not long). reportedly only has a battery lifespan of around 415 hours, and is apparently a bitch to repair so have fun shelling out $70 every once in a while for a new one or living with the defects

The adaptive triggers are cool for some games but I cant think of a single soul who will keep them on in a multiplayer shooter. I want to shoot faster not realistically lol

Ended up getting the SteelSeries Arctis 1 and Im pretty satisfied

Non-leather earpads, they extend wide enough, and the mic is good quality

like with virtually everything, its more important how they are implemented and executed rather than if they're present or not

this, it aggravates me when people think literally everything can be shoehorned into a trope

Occasionally creativity takes a hold and defies that

This seems like a real stupid purchase

Sony: AHA that'll show Microsoft for buying Bethesda

Ironically Sony was the only platform to be reluctant to something as basic as crossplay in Fortnite, I'm sure Nintendo couldn't care less

I got both around launch to. Play exclusives on the ps5 and everything else on the series X. I've been playing new games non stop since launch trying out games with enhancements and such.

Mostly game on the series X also everything runs better, what TV are you using TC?.

A 43" 4K Samsung I got with my One X back in 2017

No 120hz but I also didn't spend a grand like my dumb stoner friend did

Games still look noticeably better between the two systems

I've had both XSX and PS5 since December (and PS5 since November).

Series X is the better console. Full stop.

I still prefer PlayStation exclusives, but frankly this is the first generation ever where I can definitively say that one console is straight-up better than another.

Yeah that's pretty much how I feel too lol

The PS5 tries too hard to feel next-gen IMO, from the physical design to the menus (that still aren't quite as good as the refined Series X menus)

I'm still glad to experience some PS4 games for the first time, but it barely feels worth $500 in comparison to the Series X, let alone a scalped price lol

The real villains are the stores that allow people to buy a shit ton at once. At least force them to hire a bunch of people to go buy them one by one.

I have no idea why these stores are still limiting shit like toilet paper but people can clear out an entire shipment of consoles/console accessories without even a single "one per customer" limit anywhere

And Xbox and PlayStation have the gall to claim they're selling the new systems so well, HMM I WONDER WHY

No different than real estate companies marking up houses a lot more than what they are actually worth due to supply/demand. Get money.

"Hurr muh supply & demand"

Buddy, artificial shortages on video game accessories in an attempt to control the market aren't quite the same as REAL ESTATE

You shouldn't blame the scalper, blame the whales

True but how desperate do you have to be to spend nearly double on a headset

Just because the stimmy hit for some people doesn't mean that everything should automatically be doubled, I knew scalpers would adjust prices accordingly but I didn't expect it to happen on freaking headsets lol

Perascamin posted...

Do the PS5 and Xseries need a special headset or something? Just pick up an Arctic 7 lol its the best headset you'll ever own for gaming purposes.

Do they have a headphone jack? Otherwise I was gonna get a headset for each console since they don't have one anymore

What's wrong with gears 5

Pseudo-open world with side quests that don't really benefit you outside of upgrading Jack, except Jack is rarely needed for actual combat anyway

And the story tries so hard to make you hate JD even though me and a friend who played through the entire series up to that point thought he did nothing wrong
