ThreadAnandtech bought an Intel i7 11700K a month early, and posted a review.
I feel very bad for those who need a new PC or building their first rig right now.. from supply lines, to make the current offer and etc it’s hard.

ThreadGIBiz: Returnal, Skyward Sword, Ratchet & Clank and the value of video games
As much excited as I am for Returnal, I’m gonna wait for a price drop. These are uncertain times, and honestly other than big games like Horizon I’m not really prepared to pay that price upfront for games
ThreadPokémon Legends: Arceus announced for Switch (Early 2022). Open World, turn-based
Well after Sword/Shield, I do have to agree they gotta step up their game if they wanna deploy some games on the current and upcoming Switch... Maybe talk to monolith or even Nintendo internal studios?
I don't know but they gotta step up their game for sure cuz this ain't gonna cut it at 1080p less alone at 2160p if the Switch with DLSS that is rumored come to frutition
Man the monsters AI is very clunky, I'm picking normal because there's things in this game that just make no sense at all regarding what I previously said with the monsters.
Humans AI is great and ok, but the above... Just makes me want to stick to normal.It's getting... To a point where I don't wanna buy games on Day 1.. look at RE2 it just runs beautifully and with great performance
My most hated parts in this game is everything that involves the monsters because the AI doesn't recognize you are there but then all of the sudden they jump at you like if they detected you... Makes no sense at all, I never attempt stealth around these bastards I go full guns blazing.
I really hate the monsters AI, I love the human encounters thou.
I'm sticking to normal because I really don't wanna get further frustrated with the game since I already have to look up stuff on YouTube because they don't explain the objectives properly one of the examples is the landmark mission where everything looks literally the same
Sigh, off from RE2 where I was constantly being chased by Mr X and looking at YouTube for puzzles... To looking at YouTube in Metro because I have no idea what I'm doing with mission objectives
ThreadCONTROL |OT| Welcome to This Oldest House of Leaves
Loving the game so far, getting the same wacky feelings from Alan Wake! Game looks really good on an OLED display... But colors seem a bit off due to the lack of HDR.
The reds especially would benefit a ton from it since it would increase the many color palette
ThreadHas anyone ever 'left' PC Gaming to go back to being console only?
Pretty much yeah, I only play World of Warcraft and CIV VI.. I own a 2070 SUPER but I'd rather play on the console on the sofa, plus most games I wanna play are either Sony or Nintendo exclusive these days

ThreadFor people who have beat both, which did you like more Control or Quantum Break? My issues with Control(spoilers for both games).
I like both games but Control despite having the same gameplay issues as QB, was more enjoyable due to the lore and being connected to Alan Wake pushes it forward for me :) (deeply connected)
Amazing OT just missing some stealth gameplay information tbh.
Looking forward to the release, I can't wait to see the story and the Syphon Filter Easter eggs
They are on a hiring spree at Blizzard for D4.. However World of Warcraft has never seen a worse time in it's life.. And yeah they rely on CoD as a big franchise and on Blizzard as a whole.
It's not a bad company to hold out especially since if they do have a MW4 it's gonna be hot bread.
Blackout might go free to play or buy 2 play seperately come the next CoD and could compete further down the line.
Regarding other franchises I have no idea.. Blizzard easily does a come back with a Overwatch 2 or a campaign.
I’m holding everything atm especially NVIDIA and ACTI.
ACTI is sinking most likely due to the Diablo Immortal fan feedback and hanging on the next COD numbers.
.. As it stands right now I'm holding out until Anthem, I might be getting some stocks with the BFV downfall if it does happen.
Anthem really got me pumped for those numbers... Today I'm taking at look at Micro and AMD..It's important for me to have those 2 because I have good feeling about their roadmaps I also got a few more Intel stocks this week due to the recent 10nm news.
Just ordered some additional Take-Two stocks.. Waiting for 14:30GMT+0.
When I started on the stock market I bought Actvi Blizzard & Ubisoft, which were both companies who have a good track record and always have big hits every year.
Planning on spending 500$ on Take-Two, will see how it goes with Red Dead.
Other than that I'd suggest to get AMD ahead of Investor's call & January CES 2019
Yes come January they'll reveal the plan in CES.. I believe with TSMC 7nm they could make some very big bucks regarding GPU markert especially... with Nvidia being so expensiveI'm using Degiro.
Ah yes obviously my friend, I'm just saying that this Red Dead has some serious & smart marketing going on especially when it even has some cash add-on for GTA V Online.
I'm very curious to see what happens, I only own one stock of Take-Two so I was interested increasing my portfolio for quick buck but in general to get some more.
I'm also taking a look at AMD like I said in the post above... Also Intel.. Let's see what happens thou
Got 3D Pulse, Arctis 7P and Hyper X Cloud as we recently did a Top 5 on my website. What you guys wanna know.If you participate in Party’s and wanna control the chat audio mix get the Pulse 3D tbh
ThreadHades |OT| Ah Hell, here we go again (Out of Early Access and on Switch!)

I might go for the Switch version instead
ThreadDigital Foundry: Assassin's Creed Valhalla: PS5 vs Xbox Series X/ Series S Next-Gen Comparison!
This already happened on Origins/Odyssey on the PC version. Honestly I hope they look into it for the next entry (hopefully next gen only)Not yet, also mid game there are a lot of issues regarding frame drop. Especially in your settlement
Honestly I’m not worried about the Ray Tracing performance as I have a 2070 and rarely use it for x amount of time.
I’m really happy with the champs 6800 XT and 6900 XT are. I’m hoping the reviews are around the same level of performance we in saw in the event.
What I’m a bit confused is regarding the 6900 XT will there be custom AIB cards?
I’m curious about 6900XT, AIB cards. I’ll wait for full benchmarks but I end up getting either 6890 XT or 6900 XT and get a Freesync monitor in the process. (I have a X34 Predator)
I’m really happy to be considering a full AMD build for next year.
Also they giving out Shadowlands for those who buy it right? I can then refund the expansion
ThreadTo those of you who were able to improve their PS4 Pro's noise level, how did you do it?

So I quit trying and use my Platinum while gaming lol

Alright so i'm starting to need a gaming laptop post covid due to the amount of travels i'll be doing.
I was maybe looking at Razer Blade 15.4 with the RTX2060 or the G14.. However I'm not sold on the capabilities of the G14 screens, everyone seems to be saying that the panel qualities suck.
That's where the razer blade comes in.. sports both TB3 and a decent enough screen.
Any advice?
ThreadJim Ryan: £70 is a fair price for PS5 games (The Telegraph)
I'll give you my opinion.
I have a couple of family members living in Portugal and others in Greece. Some of them get paid 650€ as that is the minimum wage over there, as you can see a 80€ game decision can be complicated for this part of the world.
Honestly I don't know. it makes me think 2 or 3 times regarding a purchase.
ThreadSakuna: Of Rice and Ruin has been such a hit in Japan that publisher Marvelous' share price had to be temporarily halted due to an unanticipated surge

Sure but you gotta think about that the consoles got stuck with Jaguar for 7 years! Zen 2 is miles ahead of that and also these console CPUs are more like Mobile parts than desktop

Focus on 8.2 and do daily emissaries/missions on table.
Continue the major war campaign / main chapter when you can... it will take time to unlock pathfinder 2 anyhow
ThreadWorld of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth |OT2| Bless Your Heart
Yeah I went in 340 gear and had to pull stuff carefullyHonestly i'm not really sure but maybe a tune up to island exp and a new Warfront.
I'm more worried about 8.3 and how they want to keep people subbed for 6 months... I'm still questioning myself if i'm buying the virtual ticket this year even thou
ThreadWorld of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth |OT2| Bless Your Heart
8.2 just came out and they already put out another Store mount with a 6 month subscription.
Patch 8.3 might not even arrive before December... They are just pushing the end of Q2 due to fiscal report.Sadly it’s more because people have moved on from the game due to how class design and how game mechanics are this days. At least that’s what my 15 year old vanilla guild that just stopped raiding for the first time justified with.Yeah not just that but splitting an already small player base after 15 eyears sea takes its toll on the game.
My problem with this is simple. Warcraft has always been about faction war, how do you move on from this to evolve a franchise which is still based on a game which is gonna be 15 years
ThreadWorld of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth |OT2| Bless Your Heart
I don't feel any vibe to raid at all outside of LFR... Gear is pointless for me I'd rather farm mounts or reputation like what th ehell... 15 years of hardcore raiding.. Now I have literally 0 will to do any raiding
ThreadWorld of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth |OT2| Bless Your Heart
Yeah I give one month until people are done with this.
Game needs a huge overhaul in boss class design and PvE content. I won’t even get started on progression.
Only a new expansion can fix this

ThreadWorld of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth |OT2| Bless Your Heart
As I always been saying since TBC.
I'd rather wait for an expansion but have things properly fleshed out and ready for release, BFA was clearly not ready and we can definitely see how gameplay mechanics in both cases and game have really gone downhill ever since it's release.
They need a major overhaul and that is only possible with a new expansion.
I do hope whatever comes next is announced soon for some peace of mind... And at the very least.. be ready at it's release date, I'd rather have it internally delayed like TLOU2 tbh

In Portugal from what I can gather Sony Portugal itself isn't sure if there any more units coming.
