forameus Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 Also, how many games are going to be out of reach of people if they don't have these top-end GPUs? Are there any? Or is it just that you can't play some major titles at the top possible settings? With the way gaming is nowadays, with all kinds of weird, low-spec indie titles getting made and receiving rave reviews, I'm not sure there's going to be the same need to have the best hardware for most. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Brightside Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 On 05/01/2023 at 18:59, BFTD said: Aye, but most folk are more concerned with being able to afford heat and food these days, never mind extravagances like gaming PC upgrades. No doubt the industry knows their sales are fucked for the foreseeable, so they needed to squeeze more money out of the people who still have some, as people on lower wages aren't customers anymore. Most people surely consider a £400/500 PS5 to be an extravagant purchase, let alone a £1500 4090 so you can get 300+ FPS on some games. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While having a 144hz monitor…definitely makes sense. I’m more than content with my 12gb 3060; cost £500 and runs everything perfectly at 1080/1440p. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19QOS19 Posted February 17, 2023 Author Share Posted February 17, 2023 Was it yourself who played Subnautica @DA Baracus? I was looking for your post on it as I thought it was you who was talking about it. Started it yesterday and am about 9 hours in. I'm certainly enjoying it even if I feel I'm making little progress! I've had to look on YouTube at times as I had no ide what I was supposed to be doing. Just built a half-decent base now and have the wee submarine; MK III as the first two were fecking eaten by two different big b*****d creatures. I'm enjoying plodding away for now but does there come a point where they point you in the right direction for actually getting a conclusion? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinking of having a second play through soon. You need to keep exploring and you'll get more and more clues that point you in the right direction. There is a conclusion that you eventually build to but it takes time. Start with exploring ad much as you can, including going as deep as you can. You'll eventually find blueprints and materials to make things to help with that. Give me a shout if you want any pointers! P.S. The big scary as f**k monsters are called 'leviathans'. There's only a few of them in the game and they all have their own wee 'zones' they patrol, like the one in front of the crashed ship. They usually won't leave their zones. Usually...

DA Baracus Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 (edited) Here's the link to the thread. Just saw that I said in that thread to scan everything. That's solid advice still. Rocks, plants, animals, wreckage; everything! Edited February 17, 2023 by DA Baracus 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent cheers! Aye it took me a good while to figure out I had to scan for blueprints! Enjoying it though. Before you give it another run through give Stranded Deep a shot. That's pretty similar. There seems to be more to Subnautica though but I reckon you'd still enjoy Stranded Deep even for just a wee while. I sank hours into it during lockdown. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodhull Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 Finally played some of Death Stranding and despite the usual Kojima bizareness i was quite enjoying the game but the menus in the game are genuinely the most infuriating of any game I've ever played. They make the simplest thing seem so convoluted. Ended up deleting the game it was annoying me so much. Thank goodness for playstation plus. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first 3 or so hours are tedious, I’ll give you that. However once you hit chapter 3, all of the upgrades, story elements, and I cannot overstate this enough, the music, makes all the UI annoyances worth it. One of the best games I’ve ever played. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I started it then got too busy, went back to it after a few months and couldn't remember how to start the game; was lost in the menus for about 25 minutes, and I wish I was exaggerating. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye I think I was near the end of chapter 2 when I quit. I might go back to it at some point. As well as the menus I was finding the gameplay a bit tedious but thought it was an interesting story and world and it just being so odd endeared it to me for some reason. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you do go back, I implore to stick to chapter 3, it’ll envelope you. The ending is legitimately incredible. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't say I have, I liked the Dishnored games but for some reason Deathloop didn't appeal to me even on ps plus/game pass. I'm liking the look of the Horizon Forbidden West DLC but have the same fears of experiencing what you did with Deathloop. At this point I barely remember anything about the combat controls. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved Deathloop. I also started it but left it and had to start again but the second time I thought it was relativley easy. Granted I didn't really use the menus or bother with upgrades or things like that and I did have to Google the way to complete the game... Did you finish the game in the end? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted April 21, 2023 Author Share Posted April 21, 2023 A question for Xbox owners. Been PS since 360 so am now clueless. Looking at getting an Xbox for the eldest as she keeps going on about this Roblox. I'll probably get fired into Game Pass titles tbh but PS5 will be my go to for my main games. I assume it's just as well me going for an S(?) series rather than the latest console and does a Yearly Live pass give you access to the Game Pass catalogue or are they two separate things? I've no interest in online gaming and she only plays Fortnite 'online'. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't, think I just forgot too much about what I had 'learned' and all that and put it back down. I was enjoying to begin with but I'm bitter as f**k so a game where you basically have to die a good few times to complete is asking for an aneurysm Was planning on doing the same as you, a wee Google to point me to the ending to get it done without the dying to learn things. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
