I love open world games. Assassin's Creed games are my favorite. 😍

But you don't have to do anything except put a ROM file in a folder. 😢 You guys pain me. Raytraced lighting is much more accurate than the 'faked' lighting used up until this point. True shadows, actual reflections on objects, etc. There is a wider range of effects and a higher level of accuracy than can be achieved using the old methods. Modern open world games are incredibly resource heavy. The number of actors/objects in the world, render distance, size of the land masses being used -- there's a lot more going on under the hood than just improved graphics.

Then something is horribly wrong.

The world should just be using Fightcade 2... 🙃 I own it on PS4 but I almost never use that machine. Add me on Steam: 6351339 I'll play almost any game.

People actually playing 30th Anniversary... Guess I'll buy it. Again...

Are people playing games tonight?

I feel the performance modes from the Pro and X exist for the same reason as they do right now - extra performance available on certain machines and a 'base' or inferior versions of games existing. Microsoft still has a weaker and stronger versions of the Xbox, but all PS5s are the same. Once last-gen and cross-gen titles no longer exist, those extra options might go away. We'll just have to see how things go I guess. 🤷‍♂️

With a few exceptions, I expect that the only reason you have the options now is because these are cross-gen titles with some extra performance headroom on the new consoles. After a while I think they'll just prioritize graphics like before and you won't get options at all on most games.

It seems like Spider-Man: Miles Morales is already making users choose between 60fps or having raytracing. Demon's Souls makes you choose between 4k/30fps or 1440p/60fps. I'd give up your hopes of all the new stuff being a guaranteed 60fps on console. It's only gonna get worse from here on out. 😩

It's time for the new Call of Duty! 😃

It definitely is. Kshatriya has been in the past few arcade releases iirc.

It's purposely made to feel like the old EX games, so that's really no surprise. If you didn't like EX you won't like FEXL.

In recent years they have moved away from the movie/OVA EW designs and started using newer versions from the Glory of Losers manga instead:

To be fair, you can ban an account on any platform. That' s not unique to consoles at all. I think consoles have their place and there's nothing wrong with them, but I think the criticisms people have of PC gaming are often times unwarranted and uninformed. 🤷‍♂️ I own all the major consoles and have more than one PC, and find myself using the PC the most often. The odd cheater here and there isn't enough to make me want to use other platforms unless I have to (exclusives, etc).

'rife' is overstating it. I have hundreds of hours in multiple fighting games and have never encountered a cheater in one. Do they exist? Sure. But hating on PC because you assume you're gonna face one is like refusing to drive a car because you might crash one day. The number of PC players across different genres is insane. The number of cheaters depends heavily on what game you're playing and who you play with. Playing PUBG against mainland Chinese people is just asking for a bad time, but I've also spent thousands of hours combined in other games without much of any issue. 'Cheating' on console could be as simple as using a XIM or SplitFish. Cheaters are gonna exist on every platform -- damning an entire ecosystem and its benefits because a few people are dicks seems like an overreaction. This also has 0 bearing on any single player games that you may choose to run on the platform. This is always the case at the beginning of a generation because the software has not fully made use of the available console hardware. Unless consumers actively push for 120fps/60fps in games, high framerates will disappear relatively quickly. The fact that some launch titles are already asking you to choose between framerate or resolution does not bode well for the long-term future of high framerate console titles.

Are we playing FEXL now? 👀

While it's true graphics are hitting diminishing returns, framerate is going to remain relevant for a long time. The new consoles can do 4k/60 at the moment with current software, but once they start optimizing for graphics in newer titles instead of performance I expect we'll be hitting 30fps in AAA titles on console again. A 3090 is definitely not a gaming card and an unnecessary expense. Anything in the xx70 and xx80 range will do fine for most games in the future, especially when newer and newer generations of graphics cards come out. The main issue with consoles is that they are always excellent when they release, but very quickly start to get pushed to their limits and cannot be upgraded. Once the new consoles start to age a bit, PCs will be able to run the same software on midrange graphics cards with no problem. PC hardware constantly becomes more powerful and more efficient. PCs are neck in neck with consoles now, but that divide will inevitably grow and then we're back to where we started before the new console gen launched. Consoles are like cars -- you use them until they no longer work or fit your needs, then buy a new one. PCs are like owning a house -- you keep them around forever and can upgrade as much or as little as you want, but have to pay a lot more up front. As an example: The rig I built for my sister can run FF14 better than any console, and is using a 9 year old CPU (Xeon e3-1230) and a 4 year old GPU (GTX 1070). Based on the games you want to play and the settings you want to play them at, you can pick and choose parts that fit your budget and need. Playing on PC does not always mean spending 1000USD+ and buying flagship hardware all the time. Flexibility is a key strength of the platform.

Everyone needs KOF98UM. Everyone.

Everyone goes through the standard process here. Verbal Warning >> System Warning / Temp Ban >> Obliteration I try to be fair to everyone, no matter who they are. Once the hard ban kicks in it is very unlikely it will ever be removed. The vote that was made earlier definitely matters, and has been taken into account. I am trying to be patient and give people a chance here. Angel on the other hand... Picture of Angel the minute wrongdoing is detected Behave or I'll remove Angel's limiters.

Unlike last gen, the new consoles are competitive with PCs this time around. However the lead will fade after a year or two like it always does. New PC hardware launched this fall already beats both new consoles in terms of power. Someone who buys a pricey new PC now will have parity with consoles, and can choose to flexibly upgrade it over the years in order to improve performance (generally just need a new GPU every couple of years). Buying a console is a one time purchase, PC is continued performance advantage over the long-term. It's a bit pricier once everything is said and done, but the performance advantages are definitely worth it to some people. Look no further than a comparison of PS4 vs a PC today. PC user will have spent more money overall, but the experience between the two is night and day. This of course only applies if you don't live in Brazil and have ridiculous tariffs on any form of technology. PC parts and technology are cheaper in the US than anywhere else in the world.

Last year I thought I'd be buying both new consoles day 1. In reality I'm playing almost every new release on my PC without any change. Kind of a killjoy. 😩 New PC parts just seem more hype than consoles this year...

As @Hawkingbirdmentioned, EA Access does this. Xbox Game Pass also does this. In fact, Xbox Game Pass comes bundled with EA Play atm. https://www.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-game-pass https://www.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-game-pass/games If you have a PC or Xbox there's a pretty sizeable collection of games you can access for a low monthly fee, just like you're requesting. CVS2 is already playable on PS4 as a PS2 digital release. Sadly it has input lag. 🙃

Don't bother with a 3000 series. Go straight for 5000 baby!!! I don't want to hear complaints about using a 2700X. I'm still rocking a 1700!

@FlyingVe GGs! My sister wants to play some Nier. I'll play with you again another time!

Yeah it's quite laggy atm. Where are you located?
