Aaaaah this game was amazing, can’t wait to download it again to play the new update

I don’t understand why they released BO7 so soon after 6. Also seeing 7 after the name reeks of cash grab when it comes to games with reputation like theirs.

It runs Linux out of the box not Windows, so it’s not normal. Not to mention it’s barely upgradeable, HDD and RAM only. I know some prebuilts lock you out of upgrading but you can buy plenty that you can fully modify yourself.

Unfortunately “console people who just want to plug something in and start playing” is a pretty big slice of the type of people that like playing multiplayer games especially AAAs which won’t always work. Not to mention they will still be served with a PC game so there will be all of the regular options like graphics that PC players are exposed to.

I’m really hoping Valve proves me wrong but I don’t think I’d recommend this device to a console only player as their first PC.

At least the SteamDeck was a different form factor, this will find it difficult to compete with consoles forget normal pre-builts, especially if its more expensive than both

It’s a bit of a hard sell in an environment where being economical is the first thing on people’s minds. That’s a very niche audience. People who don’t want to build their own PC, don’t want a normal prebuilt, and are okay being less powerful than a console, and will not to mention not play a ton of multiplayer games out of the box. It’s not going to capture anyone from the console market and its not going to capture the hardcore PC nerds.

DOA already if it’s priced more than that. Who is this marketed to?

This is already supposed to be a stripped down Windows version for handhelds

It’s still a feature that was expected to be removed tbf but sounds like its been partly upgraded

As many as Palestinians by Israel? I dunno, what a weird question to ask

What even happened in this generation? There was nothing that separated it lmao. Realistically the only thing the next gen can add over this is full ray tracing from ground up, even something like frame gen would be proper embarrassing because a console is supposed to have all graphics baked in.

If MS goes Windows on Xbox then that might genuinely be the way forward atp

Now introducing Chromatic Simon

It’s genuinely one of my all time favourite games, prolly in my top 10. It’s just sooooo good to play and somehow I love it, it’s absolutely captured me even with its (few) flaws

I need to reinstall this mf game when it comes out I didn’t expect this lol

Aggressive != being actually good at your job. She lost the MS case so badly it was straight up embarrassing for the FTC

You miss her hilarious incompetence? Don’t Americans get enough of that with their President already?

I haven’t followed Ubisoft closely but isn’t the latest PoP very well reviewed? The new Anno looks very promising as well, the demo is out and people are excited

Honestly those are Ubi’s most creatively bankrupt franchises so I’m hoping that while Vantage focuses on these the main Ubi studio produces some actually interesting stuff

My attempt to crack a shitty joke has backfired more than expected lol

Woke liberals ruining America, nothing new

You definitely have a point… if US was the only country in the world and Uber did not provide a much better service than our local taxis. I mean yeah the local ones are cheaper but considering overall service, fuck no.

For me, one of the major advantages of Game Pass is publishers are absolutely refusing to put local regional pricing nowadays. Games at 60$+ cannot be bought by anyone with middle class salaries. Now with push to 70-80 usd+ for AAA, even AA games getting to 60$ it is impossible to buy in my country.

So why should I get a single game at those prices when I can get few hundred at similar pricing? It’s MSs problem that they are willing to put their games day 1 on GP not mine. I don’t care whether games are getting “devalued” or whatever, I’m simply getting what I paid for.

Also, people do tend to buy games standalone and I really can’t see that going away honestly. I can’t see games ever going subscription only or anything like that.

I know, I know lmfao. But that doesn’t mean I’m not going to leach the hell out of this until it goes away.

Forza Horizon is good for that experience

Game pass is awesome. Played a fuck ton of games at that price. Hope it stays forever, especially with that stacking model lol.

Tbh out of the big corpos MS has been one of the least anti-competitive in the past 10-15 years. They like to push their own services with ads within their own services yes but that’s not really anti competitive in the truest sense, every company on earth does that.

The biggest one I can think of recently is them having lower rates for Windows Server on Azure vs other clouds. Compare that with companies like Apple, Google who actively attempt to put down other services.

IMO Nadella has been pretty decent in handling that part of MS. Though I don’t really have an answer to your Defender question lol.

Facebook gaming was a small “phase” in gaming but it was really fun and social. I had a blast playing games like Farmville, Mafia Wars, Restaurant City

Been hearing this for the past 3 years

Yes, the government is going to get you by installing spyware in a game launcher that nobody uses. You won’t care a shit about or vet at code level any of the 200+ closed source games you will play in your life because they’re all fine in your fantasy land, but one game launcher is out to kidnap you.

Bro get a life, it’s not that serious. Evil app store lmao as if they’re out to murder you and your family

About time

Nice that it’s on GP, can’t wait to start. Looks great

Goddamn libs responsible for everything wrong in this world 🤬

That actually makes me want to play it more. Solid use of technology.

They were competing?

How does RT only titles work on consoles? The RT really isn’t that powerful, aren’t they supposed to be equivalent to an RTX 2070 at best? It sounds like the graphics difference will be quite a lot for PC vs consoles.

Average lemmy NPC comment

Can’t believe I’m saying this but City are shit

You can still do that, the article is fucking stupid. If you don’t have the correct requirements you will never get Windows 11 officially. You can however create a custom install of Win 11 using tools like Rufus to bypass the TPM requirements.

The point of the change is that now if you install it on an unsupported machine, you won’t get any official support; they’re not stopping you from messing with the OS installer but you will still NOT get the upgrade officially and if you do upgrade and find some issue they ain’t helping you.

IIRC they used to pester users with this unsupported setup to upgrade to a correct setup and they won’t do that any more.
