    PC design needs a big change

    Possibly longer. Remember Alan Wake 2 is the first game to use Mesh Shaders. These were introduced in 2019 and then included properly in Direct X 12 Ultimate in 2020. Also I would think that games companies look at the steam hardware survey. I think the majority a couple of years...

    May 2024 General Game Discussions

    I've been playing Path of Exile, The Planet Crafter and Helldivers 2. I've not played PoE in over a year and there's been a few nice changes including the ability to have multiple Atlas Passive Trees that unlock as you complete more maps. I really like Helldivers 2. The...

    A game you wanted to like but you just couldn't?

    Satisfactory. I got into it and got to a certain point but then realised I had to tear down a lot of what I'd built and change the layout of machines. I also had trouble lining up all the connectors. This was a while ago though in Early Access, well before Trains were added, A lot...

    PC design needs a big change

    One of the problems is the <1% of people that want the most powerful components. Yes the 4090 is the most powerful GPU but most people don't need it and can't afford it. Look at the issue with the intel 13900KF and 14900KF. The motherboard manufacturers put more power through them...

    Have Gamers become Junkies?

    I think it's more the other way around. People that have a problem with addiction are more likely to be gamers because gaming is such a huge thing. Gaming has grown hugely in the last ten years. What are think is a more problematic issue is the rise of social media and younger...

    Question 5600X vs 5700X3D vs 5800X3D

    FYI The 5700X3D is an 8 core chip with a base clock of 3.0Ghz and boost of 4.1Ghz The 5800X3D has 8 cores and a higher base clock of 3.4Ghz and boost of 4.5ghz I'd recommend the 5700X3D and put the saving towards your GPU where you will see the biggest benefit. Unless the 4070 is...

    So there has been mass gold duping. This is why LP2 items that are needed for certain builds are stupid prices in the Merchants Guild.

    Completed a few empowered monoliths. Lagon was hard as he kept killing my squirrels as they kept attacking rather than using the safe spot, down left stairs on monoliths. Life builds suck, especially against monoliths with the explosive javelin throwers and ice dudes that use Glacier...

    I never knew about any Lagon Safe Spot :) I was regularly killing him with characters around level 54-55. I did die a lot until I realised I needed to look at what it's eye was doing. Have a read of Maxroll's Guide to Legendary Crafting. I've not done any yet. For the item your taking...
