DLSS will be used as a crutch for poor or sloppy coding.

These DLSS performance gains are about the biggest BS on the internet. Not saying it does not boost performance some, but the percentages are way off.

I barely stepped into it, as I can't bear to play D2 right now, and I've seen similar thoughts.. Seems like a very empty expansion so far? Even worse than Shadowkeep, which I actually really liked.

It's like people paid for a big patch that removed content. I don't quite get it. Shadowkeep was pretty awesome in what content it did have, but what the hell is Beyond Light?

Uh huh, I'm sure that won't cause any problems...

Looks like a God of War clone. Darksiders, God of War, even the new AC origins, odyssey, love me some over the top combat.

The Youtuber is ACG so a little more than just a dude out there. He's been pretty solid.

One person who has had a brand new console fail on them means nothing. Even if he’s the Dalai Lama himself. Does the Lama have a YouTube channel?

Agreed one means squat, but how they say it, it sounded like it would be someone like me going on youtube and making that proclamation. ACG isn't bullshitting anyone.

I read the article again and don’t see them making light of who ACG is or implying anything about him being incapable or making things up.

The good thing about Mr. Penter being on the receiving end of a defective unit is that at least it will get a thorough failure analysis by Sony techs and we will hopefully find out what failed.
By the symptoms I’m guessing power supply or motherboard.

To follow-up on a couple weeks ago, Uber, Lyft, et al. successfully bamboozled 58% of California voters into passing Prop 22, enabling them to continue ignoring state-mandated rights for their workers by refusing to classify them as employees. They spent $200 MILLION on advertising claiming the exact opposite of what the ballot measure actually means (compared to $20M by the opposition) and their stock prices have exploded this month with growth of 30-40%, making them billions of dollars richer in return. So yeah, some scary precedents. https://www.cnn.com/2020/11/04/tech/california-proposition-22/index.html

The game has only sold 3 million units 2 months after launch across all platforms. That may sound like a lot, except when the estimation of the costs to make and market it were $190M dollars, plus the ongoing costs of maintaining the "live service" elements. It's player base on PC has gone off a cliff, so has its streaming numbers and most people I know who were super hyped for it got bored after a couple of weeks because like every live service game, there's no end game content. This is basically Anthem, except is cost even more because a huge chunk of the costs and profits go back to Disney. The Marvel superfans who will buy anything with that name on it have already bought it and now the word is out that it's actually a mediocre game at best. I think Square Enix will have to eat some financial crow on this one. But as someone who was fed up with this after 30 minutes with the free beta, they probably should.

The first one was kind of cool, but when I remember the great games Bioware produced that came before it, it spelled the beginning of the end for the Bioware I knew and loved. I really can't get excited about anything these guys announce anymore.

Remastered or not, I am not one to go back and play games I've already completed. There are so many games that I want to play out there and I don't have enough time to play half of them. That being said, the Mass Effect trilogy is one of my favorites gaming series of all time and I am glad that it can be experienced by newcomers.

I have always wanted to dive into the Mass Effect games, and this will be my first opportunity -- just wasn't good timing with the others. I'm super excited!

You are not the target audience. The target audience is the new generation of teenagers or young adults with next gen consoles PS5/XSX who are supposed to buy the new Mass Effect after getting hooked on the remasters. EA's goal is to keep their venerable Mass Effect franchise relevant throughout this upcoming console cycle. They also need a few shiny, big eggs in the basket to make their subscription model more attractive. Reviving Mass Effect makes a whole lot of sense from a business perspective.
