The thing is AMD tech like FSR may be universal and supports all hardware regardless of hardware brand, but too often I see games developed for console, a.k.a AMD tech, when the devs move to PC that also includes Nvidia and its own unique feature set, all these devs do is provide barely rudimentary or surface-level support to Nvidia because they've dialed in the settings for AMD, and too lazy to do the same for Nvidia. I mean c'mon man, if you want to do something, do it properly, or dont do it at all. 
I need you to keep me sane. When you see me go insane, buy this Day 1, rob that bank, please slap the back of my head. laugh.gif

P/s: backlog say still got enough space in here, just swallow ONLY, no need chew your food. lol.gif

usually if got nvidia DLSS or something like that, nvidia pay developer to include their own tech. else, dev just based on the engine capability (example unreal engine).

too many backlog, too little free space left, not enough time.

Ghostwire Tokyo is Unreal Engine 4.  So,unless Tango Gameworks is very lazy or incompetent (track record says they're not), should be a safe bet that they'll  at least implement it right? Their Evil Within 2 on PC was pretty comptent performance-wise.

I dont need space, I only download what I need. Sure, need to wait for download and install, but that's how I keep myself disciplined to play a game until finish before downloading the next. GamePass schedule of games coming and leaving is rushing it sometimes. I just keep those games on wishlist and buy on sale.

if UE4, should be ok. the optimization should be good.

keep myself disciplined to play a game until finish before downloading the next - good for you. in my desktop shortcut, there's a few game that i haven't click for a few months, since i got xsx.

On PC I use Playnite launcher. It helps in rotating my library of games to games I have not touched to the top so that I know I've been neglecting it. Like how it is telling me I neglected playing "The Ascent" and "Divinity Original Sin II" for a long time already.

I'm so ashamed....... the draw of new and shiny games like Hitman 3, GOW PC, Dying Light 2 and Ghostwire Tokyo is so seductive....... I guess I'm basically just like a cat easily distracted/attracted to a new shiny ball of string.
*
i know that feeling bro. hahaha.
all those title is tempting, but i know i didnt have time to even start playing them.
the last PC game that i finish is house of ashes on 11 Nov 2021.
after that, keep on hopping from a few game here and there.
currently focusing forza on xsx and pokemon on emu.

Games as a Service.

Your Fortnites, Warzones. It's free or cheap to play, but the hidden costs, costs a lot more than a game you pay upfront for.

Oh. This.

Cue "I'm too old for this shit". I'm just turning 41 next month, and I feel old as hell sometimes. Everything hurts, I can't stand modern music, games now feel too money-grabby. Still, I will always love video games, even if I'm mostly reading articles or watching other people play. Old games on the other hand, I still love. I just got around to playing and finishing Elevator Action Returns last weekend. Now that's my jam.

Well, music games and tv show now want to impress new generation.
When the trend going the wrong way, they still follow coz still make money

Bought 2 games from Argentina Store last night using Wise debit card with AR Peso deposited in my Wise account.
Both transaction gone thru without a hitch, whereas last time when using my BP card, only the first game can go thru, then second game will be unsuccessful
since no other games to buy, so I stopped at 2 games, lets see if I can buy with the Wise card again in the next sales

sorry but if using wise debit card in xbox account, still need to be connected to VPN argentina?
or straight away can pay?

Guess the release month? *******ber 2022.
Seven alphabets before the -ber suffix.

Septem? Octo? Novem? Decem? Are we lied to?

Wishlisted on Steam, but "FRET NOT" (some Lowyat.net front page reporter favorite phrase, he/she/it keep reusing that shit phrase again and again laugh.gif), fret not, it's also on GamePass, so I wont fret too much coz I'm covered from fretting too much by my GamePass subscription.

Dont FRET ya! lol.gif

P/S: The PC version was also part of the Nvidia showcase as examples of Nvidia ray-tracing tech.

feel like bioshock vibe.
if on gamepass, sure gonna play this.

Just need to be disciplined and clear current games before they leave the Pass. It may sound like a chore, but that's how GamePass works unfortunately.

As for "no need to buy games ever again", that's only if MS maintain current status quo.

I'm looking at it from the angle that "GP saved me so much money, by the time if MS change how GP works, I've saved so much money from GP to get those games I want to keep at discount years later". Win-win.

I'm already using that tactics now, in the case of Hitman 3/Trilogy. Wait until the price situation sort itself out years later, by playing it first on GP. If they never drop the PC price, I can say I've played it on GP. Only that collection completion is pending until then.

So far only 3 game completed from GPU. Overcooked 2, my friend pedro and the gunk.
Other title, didnt have the same energy like before to play till completion.
Forza horizon 5 almost daily but still a long way to go

Done completed Sable, Death's Door,  Psychonaut 2 and I'm 1/3rd way into the third Hitman. By the time I'm done with H3, I'd either replay the other 2 Hitmans, with hopefully by that time, the new Sniper Elite 5 will arrive into GP and the Hitman titles leave. Sounds like a plan? rclxm9.gif

I still have not completed Halo Infinite SP campaign, not too worried about it, since the game is tied to my XSX, came with the console as part of the CE. I've completed FH4 and but not far enough into FH5, but I'm not too worried about FH5, I've the game on PC I plan to revisit once I get my Steam Deck. The only Gears I've not completed is Gears 5, and that game is perpetually tied to GP forever.

The only rush is 3rd party ones which will leave once their GP period is done. Once I've done that, it's back to the already-collecting-dust next-door neighbor console for Demon Soul, Ratchet & Clank Rift Apart & TLOU2 (can you believe I've not even started that game?), and then try to reduce the humongous backlog on PC starting with Divinity II, CP2077, Death Stranding (purposely delayed this until the Director's Cut arrives on Steam)and RE 8 Village..........before it gets stacked back up again with new new 2022 games like Dying Light 2, Elden Ring, Ghostwire:Tokyo, Atomic Heart, Senua Hellblade II, Stalker 2 and Starfield (if it arrives this year, or I can delay those three games since they'll be 1st party GP titles). And then pile on Horizon Forbidden West, Gran Turismo 7 and God of War Ragnarok (if it even arrives this year). Did I miss anything? Already so tired, and have not even played them yet!

Did I miss anything? Not a single GaaS in that list. I pride myself in that no-GaaS achievement.  flex.gif

And I still have to eat, make money, watch TV show episodes and movies in between all that!  laugh.gif

Shit I forgot: FFVII Intergrade too havent finish, and I have it on PS5 and PC Steam once it escapes EGS filthy jail, and FFXVI too coming this year. I cant breathe! rclxub.gif
*
hahaha. your list of game is too much.
Halo infinite SP i start, but still in early stage/level. as that is the first halo that i play, im not really good at it. Forza Horizon 5 is a leisure driving experience, a good daily drive for my console.

3rd party in GPU that i plan to play is Kingdom Hearts 3 (still in the first world, like KH2.9), Greedfall (my friend said this game is good), The Medium (my laptop cannot get smooth FPS with RTX on) and Hellblade (now part of MS? i cant remember).

Haven't start RE8, AC Odyssey, AC Valhalla, Death Stranding, CP2077 and other backlog title in PC.
I dont have PS5, so all that exclusive is not in my library. FFVII remake, i dont think i will play it this year or next. wait till all the "episode" complete, then only i purchase it.
As for FFXVI, wait and see.

I hope the episodes will get completed in this generation!  I don't want to see it get split across PS4, PS5, PS6, PS7 etc. I'll be a retired old man by then. Gaming won't even be my priority anymore.

should be by this generation. it still using Unreal Engine 4. unless they want remaster a remake wih Unreal Engine 5 later on and then charge a full price again n again.


QUOTE(KomradMikhail @ Feb 10 2022, 04:58 PM)
I gave up on everything Ubisoft. No more AC, no more WD. That frees up so much free time.

The only reason I got a PS5 are for the exclusives. If Sony stop pretending to be shy and coy about their PC releases plan, I'm more than happy to sell of my PS5 at any time.

Out of the games you mention, The Medium escapes me. after research that, more so when you mentioned the three alphabet magic word:

R. T. X.

Recommended by Alex Battaglia of Digital Foundry to frame cap to 30fps, even on his RTX3090. Not going to be  a problem at 30 fps since its a Silent Hill-like genre, but the performance issues goes deeper than just framecapping it to 30fps.

Wishlisted on Steam now, Added as Play Later on GPU. I like exercising my GPU. Thank you for bringing up the game to my attention. Would've escaped my radar if you didn't.
*
i still want to play AC as i completed almost all the main title. WD i got free from last time GTX, never play at all. still remember the fake trailer they made. hahaha

the medium will leave GPU this 15th Feb, play it while you can? my laptop only RTX2060 while my RTX3090 still bottleneck with first gen i7.

Psychonauts 2 1 of the best platformer game or game I’ve played. Rate it better than Ratchet and clank series i played before. But not the new time rift cos no ps5 lol. Story plot really good, combat good, lots of platforming very interesting dialogue and funny. Anyone havent play this i totally recommend this game. I have played 1 on xbox 360, tat is a damn good game too. Not sure how it aged but worth to play also.

thanks for the review. will queue this game when i get back home.
