Fallout 76: The clusterfuck that keeps on fucking.

I wonder if Todd is going to get as many cheers and applause when he next goes on stage somewhere to reveal a new game. Their reputation is totally in the shitter now.

Now if you would stop robbing developers (particularly indies) blind that'd be great.

What? What are you talking about?

Free-to-play shutdowns risk a consumer backlash in 2019…

Well, it was free, so you're not losing anything, right?

Is there anyone who actually thought the Division was good?

As excited about the game as I am and how much I would like to play the demo I want to go in to it as blind as possible. RE2 is my favorite game of all time and I want to do as much as I can to recapture the excitement and uncertainty of the game like it's 1998.

I haven't been this excited about a release in a very long time.

Another "Live Service" that can be switched off at EA's whim. I'm REALLY over all the online-only craze that big publishers are solely focused on. Console gaming never looked so appealing.

You think modern console games aren't online-only?

My first add-in gfx card was a 3DFX Voodoo but I can't remember what it cost, only that for the time it wasn't at all cheap. Maybe it's because I'm older now but I don't view any gfx card under $450-$500 to be high end these days.

In the last few generations, $500 was the top end about half the time, with $700 being the top end the other half of the time.

Now it's:
$1300 top end (2080ti) (That's on the cheap side. More like $1500 if you want something in stock)
$750 upper-mid level (2080)
$550 for mid level (2070)
$350 for lower-mid (2060)

(and eventually the 2050 will be the rock bottom (for I'm guessing $250?))


Ironically, unlike earlier generations, the 2080ti isn't even a complete chip - it has sections disabled. So it's actually more related to the 1080 (not the 1080ti, which was a complete chip without sections disabled).

Today you need to spot for the RTX titan to get a complete chip, which will run you $2500.
