CCL only had those three cards, and their site was crawling. I would hate to have had to try and checkout.

Scan and OCUK? still dead lmao. I wouldn't be laughing so cruelly, but this is karma for all of those waynes who have been ripping me for buying a 2080ti. Not here of course, y'all are gentlemen, but yeah OCUK seems to have a kiddy hour once a day.
 
So ps5 games are going to be £70 and 120$ AUS

Yeah I'm not surprised. It circled around the internet before about price increases. Games have been increasing in cost far outpacing inflation in an industry where $60 has been set for over a decade.

Just as an example, Nintendo needed to sell 2 million copies of BotW just to break even. That simple Switch game costs roughly $100 million. It's unsustainable for AAA games to maintain $60. That's why F2P and games as a service are becoming more popular

But their not going to increase the price and remove the games as a service or MTX, they will still milk as much as possible and the increase in price will be a bonus profit before the milking starts

To be fair, BoTW is possibly the most polished open world game ever made, really shatters current expectations of AAA open world gaming imo, and the most expensive game to produce Nintendo's ever made ofc. But yeah costs are skyrocketing for everyone

Many games are not sold as a service. Games like GoW, Uncharted, Fallout, etc are single player games are do not benefit from games as a service model.
 
Sorry for double post but just got to ask. Anyone get/play Crysis Remastered? Never played the original and just curious if the game is worth the $20 on EGS right now. No CTDs, game breaking bugs, etc?

Obviously I am expecting low FPS but thats the point :D
 
I'm sure it's fine, not got it yet maybe once i have a new card, no way my 970's would like it they would scream in pain :D they run the original butter smooth thou :)

well its not as beautiful as I was expecting and I had it on the can it run crisis. I was getting 30 fps at only 1440p :P

It s a remaster at the end of the day. I only paid about $15 so its say its worth it if you havent played the original in a decade.

I let it set everything to Very High (2070s, slow CPU). It was fine. The odd stutter as things loaded but that's to be expected on a 2.3ghz Haswell CPU.

It's well worth $20. Not as aesthetically pleasing as I was expecting, but then I have seen many pretty things since. Still well worth a go though, just for the sandbox fun you can have.
 
Actually I won't lie it's pretty amazing once you get going. The visuals are amazing but the best bit of the remaster IMO is the audio. Dear god it's like playing a whole new game !
 
hmm i am tempted but if its not as great as i thought it would be graphically then not to sure. Kinda the point of the stigma of crysis. Insane graphics and low FPS.
 
The problem it has is it is still the same game. So it's hard to spot at first how much better it is.

I've had some graphical anomalies though, so I will wait for a patch. It's been rushed out I think and needs some work. I also hear it runs on one core still, which is far from ideal.
 
well the witcher 3 was a big game, had no issue with that but if cyberpunk 2077 is shorter that might not be a bad thing as it's choice driven so we could be playing a lot longer making intresting choices so idk replayability could be much higher.

I've seen more than i want too already, but have the animated desktop of the city skyline in preperation :D
 
lmao people are so lazy these days they don't want to play long games :D

Fallout 3 was quite short. You could rush through it all and miss loads. From what I see with Cyberpunk there are plenty of ways to play through it completely differently and thus it will have tons of replay value.

I just hope it has lots of secrets, easter eggs and etc that are worth replaying it for.

And when that fails DLC I suppose.
