Pretty cool that AMD stuck the landing, rather exceeding the expectations by beating DLSS CNN. Sure transformer model is better but it is slightly more costly too, and this is effectively v1 of FSR with ML. This is especially great coming off of shimmering woes of PSSR.

Now the competitive edge moves from DLSS and RT to Multi Frame Gen and Path Tracing. I find the newer goal post to be less exciting for sub $500 GPUs as the added latency or lower base frame rate isn’t justified, so in a way AMD is genuinely a better choice this time around for the price range.

Let’s hope the $200-400 segment also sees such competition thanks to Intel.

I don’t know since I’ve only played DE, but the sound tracks were very nostalgic and reminiscent of game radios like Fallout 3.

Me too. Practically 0 difference, works for me!

Sounds good. I really like changes that just flow from start to end, though they’re rare. It’s easy to forget about collectibles if they’re too annoying, so that’s that.

That sounds great! I’ll be playing it on Series X, should be okay.

Doc be like “Oh I see you’ve returned to the living lands”

I’m planning to play Sleeping Dogs next after completing Mafia trilogy! Hope the base game is not too repetitive.

Just finished Mafia 1 DE and 2 DE. Taking a breather before I dive in 3, which I suppose will require a lot of patience.

I really enjoyed 1 and 2. They’re anti GTA in some senses where there’s basically little to no fluff or sandbox, just pure story telling and some gameplay on the side. But the stories are definitely so well written. The DLCs of 2 showed signs of GTAfication, and the first 30 mins of 3 also reek of it, but I feel the first two definitely feel timeless only because of their writing.

Interesting. How’s water fox?

Is there any android port?

About to finish Alan Wake 2 and its DLCs. It’s a great game but for me it’s bit too artsy fartsy. The flow breaks each time you switch the character, which in turn affects the pacing. Having said that the concept is cool, the fmvs integrated into the game are really high quality, they act as emmisive light sources, causing surroundings to reflect it. Pretty cool.

Ah damn. I wish they add an option for that

Do NPCs get angry even though your charisma is high but the moment you engage in dialogue they get very sweet to you?

Does the crosshair remain active when you aim using the bow?

For me it was going to Skalitz for the first time after the events of prologue. I had 3 bandits attack me right after leaving Rattay, finding out several towns on the way, finally reaching right as the weather turned very angry with thunders and rain, only to find the aftermath of the prologue.

Web components suck

It’s almost like scientists are on to something when they wait for double blind randomizied control trials results before declaring effectiveness of a medicine.

You’ve been virtue signalling all this while!?

Doom 2016 and Alan Wake 2. Enjoying both of them!

I think there’s a marketing slide from AMD saying they’re renaming their GPUs to better match competition. So 9070 series cards are supposed to match 5070 series cards, that’ll be 5070, 5070 Ti as of now and super later on.

Depends on the dose. Too much of it can cause inconveniences.
