    Question 7900XT/XTX for PC VR gaming. Thoughts?

    I can't personally speak to VR, but I remember a buddy of mine who brought in his rig with an HTC vive back in 2016. Seemed more than adequate for me, and it was running a 1080 (non TI). Don't know if VR has gotten a lot harder to run since then with things like Alyx...but it's hard to beat...

    Does anyone here play ROBLOX?

    OP's post reads like a marketing blurb. To answer your question: No. But I have kids, and they do. Like everybody above is mentioning, there seems to be a target demographic for Roblox, and it isn't the same as the one posting here. I though that Roblox was one game, but interestingly it's...

    Discussion Alien Hominid Invasion

    I had a derpy AMD athlon HTPC that I used for a number of years in our living room. I think it was at the tail end of DDR3; I picked up a killer deal at microcenter. They were practically letting the CPU and Mobo out the door for free...but I digress. It was an APU, but not a particularly...

    Star Citizen Development Discussion (Is Derek Smart Right?)

    I've been up and down about this game over the years. I guess the fact that the dev time has gone on long enough for me to form a stance and then change it is something to be said unto itself. But man, that trailer was some damn good work. I want to be excited for this. But I'm tempered by my...

    TLoU is now my favorite PC game of all time.

    ....but why? I don't understand this mentality. Old and new are not analogues for good and bad. He's recognizable part of the IP, and people wanted to see more of him. It's only natural. I would agree that his sudden and brutal death, however, are on brand for story and setting. But they...

    Microsoft buys Activision/Blizzard

    This is what scares me the most. I'm so tired of everything in my life turning into a subscription. I miss having a shelf of actual games with cool box art.

    Discussion Lets talk about Valheim

    Has anybody tired the recent changes? For my crew and I the difficulty sliders have breathed new life into the game. We're currently running a playthrough with the map and portals disabled....

    Starfield - The successor to Freelancer?

    Is it too early to be talking about modding yet? I keep finding myself wanting a level of completeness for this game that's likely 5 years worth of expansions and modding down the line.

    Unity will start charging developers for each game install

    I just read this as: "Unity takes first step in bold new 'have no customers at all' strategy." Bold move cotton. Le'ts see how it plays out.

    Starfield - The successor to Freelancer?

    Had it and have played on and off since the 9/1. My thoughts: This game is polarizing because I feel people fall into two camps: people that want to play the latest and greatest BGS game, and people who expected Fallout Citizen or No Man's Skyrim. The game can be very immersion breaking if you...

    Looks like a Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines 2/successor is coming

    I have a lot of fond memories about the original. There were some jank elements to it, but the story and atmosphere were enough to keep me playing. Sounds like it's best not to get my hopes up here...

    Star Citizen Development Discussion (Is Derek Smart Right?)

    I doubt it. I mean, it's clear now that in its current incarnation Starfield doesn't do what Star Citizen is really trying to do. But Starfield will only get better, and I suspect it will get better faster than SC will. I could see more seamlessness getting added in the eventual expansions...

    Star Citizen Development Discussion (Is Derek Smart Right?)

    It has gotten worse. That's objective. Does it make this all seem less egregious? I feel that's far more subjective... I feel like these forums are frequented by "older" gamers as far as the landscape is concerned today. As I type this, I'm 38....if you're anywhere near my age or older you can...

    Starfield - The successor to Freelancer?

    I actually just got an e-mail saying my key is good to go. I got the premium edition; not sure if it's a different time frame vs standard.

    Starfield - The successor to Freelancer?

    Hey you. You're finally awake! The real question is, "Does every planet have a penal system for us to 'start out' in?"
