I'm so hooked to the piracy/naval battles in ACIV.

Damn, I can see why some people have hundreds of hours for ACIV.

Is that why Ubisoft is making Skull and bones?

Too arcadey naval battles in ACIV is the reason I dropped it halfway through. I like my Age of Sail battles to be way more dependant on the wind than what Ubisoft made in Black Flag.

I see your point, but it's an AC game. No one should expect realistic gameplay from that franchise.

This mind-blowingly open-ended RPG might be the next Baldur's Gate 3: 'If you have the patience, you could wipe out an entire town by just turning everyone against each other'

Unforetold: Witchstone was maybe the biggest surprise for me at our PC Gaming Show: Most Wanted showcase. The Spearhead Games CRPG almost evokes Larian's first Divinity: Original Sin game in its presentation, but instead of pursuing cinematic RPG production values, Witchstone is like an alternate evolutionary path emphasizing the construction of an open-ended, RPG sandbox.

Oh FFS, is this going to be a thing now, "journalist" who can't tell their ass from their head will be comparing everything to BG3 (which is actually quite funneled and non-open ended).

That said, I always prefer CRPG teams that, given the choice, don't give a damn about more than descent presentation and go for substance, and Unforetold: Witchstone might be just the one.

It's always the same situation. Game ABC becomes a sensation and then every journalist and even publisher tries to sell an upcoming game as the new ABC, even if they have little to no thing in common.

In my opinion, that kind of false advertising hurts the game more than benefits it.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 6GB reportedly launches in February 2024 at $179

The biggest problem with that card is, as usual with Nvidia, the name. It has less cores, VRAM and memory bus. This card should have been named 3040.

The only positive I see is that, at 70W, it can run from the PCIe slot.

And, thanks to the leaked sales numbers, we know that most of those ports are very profitable.
