Dipped my toes into Clair Obscur and that looks like it is going to be the most stand out game this year, so far, for me. I'm going to leave it until I have had my fill of all the other games I'm chewing through at the moment (AC: Shadows, Flinlock, Lords of the Fallen: 2.0, South of Midnight...

104 hours in and I'm only 40% complete apparently :D Maybe there is a thing as too much exploring....

It does indeed but that is a tried and tested formula that people feel comfortable with. It's not a game with a strong learning curve, a refresh of the basics and you can be straight into the action. And that appears to be something that resonates with some players and other players, like...

It was a but preachy, but lets face it; oil is bad, pollution is bad, humans tend have more in common with cancer (growth at all costs, consumption with no end) than they do with other animals, and lets chuck in some abuse of indigineous populations while we are at it! Any game based around...

I thought Avatar was pretty good fun, the parkouring and combat are good but the slightly preachy messaging was a little grating after a while. But I still dip in everynow and then for a good explore. Still playing AC:Shadows - I'm an explorer so I haven't got that far with the main questline...

I still prefer Odyssey to this but I am having a blast playing it in balanced mode on the Pro. It's an absolute stonker of a good looking game but it still suffers from the usual AC issues; like very dumb enemy AI. Kill someone, get spotted, climb to roof of building. In plain view. Wait while...

To be fair there are a lot of special weapons you can find, wands, swords, bows. spears. I think I managed to collect them all. In the end I used Whisper of Exiles (wand), Aurochs-Skin Grimoire, Storm Sworn (bow), and Heavenstrike (musket) all maxed out. And Spiritmender (armour) tansmogged to...

My CPU is a 5900X paired with 64GB (3600MHz) DDR4. But I think I figured out what the issue with frame pacing was. I didn't run DDU after installing the card to have a clean driver install as, both cards using Adrenalin, I didn't think it would be necessary. After rectifying that I can say that...

I had a similar thing when I ordered my xt version. No communication and no update on delivery - but the same card showed up as in stock and then out of stock a couple of time on the site. The paranoid part of me was thinking that they were just waiting for me to contact them so they could say...

I should have clarified that it feels slower (I forgot to run any benchmarks before I swapped it out), there seems to be more frame pacing issues than with the 6900XT but that might just be me. In titles with ray tracing enabled there is no competition. The 9070xt is simply miles ahead.

My new 9070XT arrived and it was a fairly easy swap for the 6900XT, needed an additional power lead feeding from the PSU and it's a 3 slot as opposed to the 2 slot the 6900 was. But it is ~1cm shorter. So far, and I've run Cyberpunk, Avowed, The First Decendant, Bright Memory: Infinite just to...

I tried that. It doesn't work for all cloth awnings though, which is another thing that I noticed. There is a clear lack of consistancy in how features have been implemented. Almost as though someone was trying something out but then that wasn't propagated throughout the game. And why go to...

Apparently FSR4 is the next version of PSSR: https://www.eurogamer.net/digitalfoundry-2024-mark-cerny-fsr-4-to-play-a-key-part-in-the-next-evolution-of-pssr-upscaling

I finished my second playthrough, all quests completed, all weapons and armour found etc. It's a fun game, a weird cross between Greedfall and the Last of Us, but mostly Greedfall. But take away the shiny gloss of the graphics and the basic stab at some physics related interactions (freezing or...

We already had a taste of it with the PS5 Pro, that showed us what such a GPU configuration - in terms of Ray Tracing and upscaling, could be squeezed into the power envelope of a console. Now we know that Sony and AMD were working so closely on FSR\PSSR and that project Amethyst is an...
