They hit 3/4 last year. So far it sounds like they have Avowed (AAA), Hellblade II (AAA), Flight Simulator 24 (AAA) and Indiana Jones (AAA). Now that you mention it I forgot they had red fall and Forza. This kinda just goes to show that even though they’re around their goal output wise the quality isn’t there. |
| shikamaru317 said: We need a poll on what Xbox's Q1 AAA release will be, or if they will fall short of their 1 AAA per quarter goal yet again this year. I think they could definitely drop one of the 3 AAA's from this upcoming direct in Q1, probably March, but it's probably more likely that we won't see any of the 3 until Q2. |
I think Indy shock drop or release date within the next two months.
Flight sim 24 coming out around the summer. Hellblade and Avowed for the Fall
Yikes on bikes, I just saw the Suicide Squad stuff. Most of the critics dislike it in their previews. The HUD is nearly WoW style MMO tier, absolute pointless screen clutter galore. We know it's laden to the brim with microtransactions. I'm calling 60 something meta at this point. Rocksteady came crashing to the ground, hard to believe that just over 12 years ago Rocksteady came in 3rd place in the overall 2011 Game of the Year rankings behind only Skyrim and Portal 2, it's like Suicide Squad was made by an entirely different studio.
Let's not forget this cringe:

These specs are the equivalent of letting your child pick what they want to eat and they choose chicken nuggets for the 4th time that week.

PC can never be called the master race when they don't get Rockstar games day one. 
Fuck PC gaming

Sadly PS5 tier specs is the best I can afford as of now. My only other option would be to sell my Series X and Series X physical game collection used since I will soon be able to play all Xbox games on PC gamepass, but I don't really want to do that, Series X is still useful for back compat and it has devalued enough 3 years into the gen that I feel like I'd be losing more than I gained. An extra maybe $350 added to my build would get me up to probably a Ryzen 7600 CPU, DDR5 RAM, a PCIe 4.0 SSD, and either a GeForce 4060 or RX 6700 GPU, but I'm just not sure it's worth sacrificing my entire Series X and it's games for what amounts to maybe an extra 40% performance on my PC build. PC suffers from pretty significant diminishing returns in terms of price/performance ratio the higher you go on price. The build above seems be the price/performance king at present.
Hopefully by the time console gen 10 starts Holiday 2026 with the next-gen Xbox I will be able to afford a much larger PC upgrade that exceeds that next-gen Xbox.

You’re probably better off just buying the Xbox Series X2 console in 2026.

Eh, the way things are going I doubt that. PC seems to be getting virtually all PS and Xbox exclusives now, which effectively means I can avoid needing to buy 2 consoles and save alot of money over buying what will likely be the first $600 Xbox console in 2026 due to inflation and Xbox's need to have specs high enough to compete with a PS6 that may be launching 2 years later, and then the PS6 for $400 or something on a slim model later in the generation. Better to take that same $1000 and put it into a PC that allows me to play so-called "exclusives" from both premium console makes, while also not paying for multiplayer and saving money with Steam frequent good sales.
I also really like the idea of modding games which you just can't do on Xbox except for Bethesda games post-launch. I've already seen so many good Baldur's Gate 3 mods which is a big part of why I want to upgrade my PC now, so I can play BG3 modded. Also my PC is now 9 years old and so slow it sometimes locks up when just browsing the web or streaming a show or movie.

...to avoid getting banned for inactivity, I may have to resort to comments that are of a lower overall quality and or beneath my moral standards.

Don't have a huge budget, but I think I can manage to pull off: CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 4500 RAM: 16 GB DDR4 3600 SSD: 1 TB PCIe Gen 3 GPU: Intel Arc A580 Such a system would be roughly capable of PS5 tier performance (in all areas except for load times), while costing me around $400 since I will be reusing my case and power supply and windows install from my old build. The riskiest part by far is that Intel GPU, Intel is new to the GPU game and have struggled with drivers, struggled with performance on older DirectX 9 games, and struggled with convincing developers to use their DLSS/FSR competitor XeSS, but Intel has been putting in alot of work to fix their driver and DX 9 issues over the last year since they entered the GPU market, and they have the money to be able to afford to drive higher marketshare, which in turn will improve XeSS support for future games. I think going with Intel for my GPU may be worth the risk since the A580, when properly utilized, outperforms every other sub-$200 GPU by quite some considerable margin, the similarly priced Nvidia GeForce 1660 S, 1660ti, 3050 and AMD RX 5600 XT don't even come close to touching it's performance in games where it is properly utilized, you need to pay about $50 more for a RX 6600 to match it while Nvidia's cheapest card that matches or exceeds it is like $90 (Nvidia badly needs to get the 4050 out asap and price it lower than $200). AMD and Nvidia both have really dropped the ball when it comes to low end GPU's in recent generations, just about every GPU both have released in the last 3 years or so has been a $200+ part, they left the sub-$200 market largely uncovered for Intel to swoop in with better performing GPU's than their older generation sub-$200 offerings. Looking forward to joining the ranks of the PC master race, where multiplayer is free, Steam sales are often and have big discounts, modding is fairly easy, and we get ports of just about every game in existence. |
This build seems a bit too....underpowered for a gaming computer in 2024.
Also I wouldnt recommend going intel for GPU - if price is the issue, go with AMD otherwise Nvidia.
16 GB is bare minimum these days and as time goes, 32 GB is gonna become norm.
Also one drive storage isnt really viable nowadays especially if you plan to use your computer for more than PC gaming. Having a secondary drive (mainly a HDD) would be a good way to go.
The build you specified would have been good....back in 2020 or 2021.
But I'm assuming you want to keep your build for at least 5 years before the next upgrade?
------
I'm planning to get a new rig either late 2024 or early 2025 depending on the deals (and I'm going for pre-build).
My current PC from 2019 has
-CPU: Ryzen 5 3600
-GPU: RX 580 (8 GB)
-RAM: 16 GB DDR4 3000 MHz
-SSD: 256 GB
-HDD: 2 TB
Got the computer for like $650 and I upgraded my RAM for an additional $80 from a 8 GB
I used to 10 year upgrades but my financial situation is better than it was a decade ago so I'm planning to do ones every 5 years.
----
For my future build, I havent decided which exact parts to get but I have a outline in what I want to get
GPU: Nvidia preferred
RAM: 32 GB
SSD: 1 TB
HDD: 2 TB
My budget is a bit higher but I'm hoping to stay within the $900 to $1,200 range.
Also I plan to re-use my current gaming desktop as my new general PC for video rendering , etc
Gonna use my current general PC (which is also a gaming computer but with lower specs than my main gaming PC lol) for just to do general stuff like paying bills, etc.
---
I'm still planning to buy the next Xbox providing b/c still applies. b/c is the main reason why I bought an Xbox.
