^To be honest, it wouldn't surprise me if the price went back down to 60€ once the game comes to Steam.

You think SE is really that generous? 

C'mon Jem, this is SE we're talking about here. At best they'll do a markup when the KH collection and NEO hits Steam, just watch.

£65. That's even more than preordering a retail copy on PS5. Ridiculous.

It's annoying that the big publishers have slowly been eroding regional pricing and topping it off with MT's being shoved into games and now massive price increases.

I think Pubs have figured how to "crush" piracy and "lost sales", by doing all this shit and just turning PC into console with the high prices and money gouging. makes me sick just looking at all of this from the past decade alone. 

Yeah we've still got CD key sites, but that honestly feels like the only remaining option now. In the past we had Steam, GoG, CD key sites, devs generally not being greedy little shits, but now we're just down to key sites, and how long until pubs get tired of those and just crush them over the next decade?.

31/32 games are on PC.

This really shows what everyone knows, PC has the biggest and most diverse library of games lol.

It'll be 32/32 eventually as I'm sure Horizon 2 will come to PC at some point.

It's not about being generous, it's about milking early adopters and, after the exclusivity ends, going after the customers at Steam that may not be so interested in getting an 80€ game that's been available on a competing platform for six to twelve months.

But it's just wishful thinking.

After the first one came to PC, and given that it sold quite well, it's a given that Horizon:Forbidden West will also come to PC as well.

Yeah, it sucks. Even Valve have upped pricing across the board. Like I honestly can't remember the last time I ordered directly from Steam. Prices have been creeping up yoy - and that included the Holiday sales which used to be so good.

Now I just use CDKeys or Eneba for keys.

I like to think that Valve allows for regional price erosion, as well as leaving prices up to the devs/pubs, but they leave their hands off keys in general.

I didn't like when they did away with Flash sales, but that had devs/pubs groaning from the lost money, so that stopped being a thing. 

I guess I'm just gonna have to solely rely on Key sites for any remaining AAA game I'd go for (I say remaining, because I'm not buying shit from SE, gearbox, Ubisoft, Remedy, Activision and Blizzard).

It just sucks that we were at a time where we had great deals almost anywhere, and now it's just CD key sites and that's it.

Steam often has nice "loyalty discounts"... so if you already have game A + B, you get a bigger discount on game C of a collection.



The Matrix Awakens Tech Analysis + PS5 vs Xbox Series S/X Performance Analysis

51 minutes

Steam Deck Case - 512GB

https://steamcommunity.com/games/1675180/announcements/detail/3122680206608729959

Vs 64/256GB:

Cyberpunk 2077 released 1 year ago today

I'd say outside of the Matrix tech demo, this has so far been the best looking game we have seen so far, least the PC version with max settings. While the release under-delivered and they still have ways to go even now, imo it is still one of the better games to play if you have a powerful PC compared to the usual Call of Duty and such.



                  

PC Specs: CPU: 7800X3D || GPU: Strix 4090 || RAM: 32GB DDR5 6000 || Main SSD: WD 2TB SN850

What surprises me is that with that scene in the white room and the chair/objects and Young Neo are standing, are real-time 3D rendered. Looks insanely real, and I can easily spot CGI. Also love how they reused assets from the original movie as well - like the bullet time Neo.

But yeah Nanite is such a game changer. In that we can finally say goodbye to crappy limited draw distances and LOD ins at least for UE5 titles.
