Re: UK Sales Charts: Cyberpunk 2077 the Second Biggest Launch of 2020, Sells Best on PS5, PS4

Menchi

@LordSteev Not sure if it's just your wording or you misread the article. It's only UK sales in the article. I doubt it was a 90/10 split in the UK for Sony.

In fact 60% of all sales were not on PS4 and 90% of sales were not on last gen consoles. In fact PC sold more than all consoles combined.

Where else would they get sales? Wait until they actually finished developing the game for current gen consoles next year/2022 and release it then.

Re: Spider-Man: Miles Morales PS5 Update Adds Ray Tracing at 60FPS, Here's What It Looks Like

@NEStalgia For lack of a better comparison, I remember trying to play Batman Arkham Knight on Xbox One (got a free copy and it was before the PC port was fixed) and having just came from Arkham City at 120fps, it was unplayable due to lack of responsiveness. I use this comparison since Spiderman is basically a Batmam clone.

Needless to say I gave up within an hour and waited for the PC version to be fixed. Free Xbox One and PC copies ftw.

I will forever consider any game that does not meet the 4 decade old standard of refresh rates (an average screen is 60hz, not the same frame every 2 refresh-hz) sluggish in response. Literal technological standards and my own high standards will not allow it.

Re: Spider-Man: Miles Morales PS5 Update Adds Ray Tracing at 60FPS, Here's What It Looks Like

@NEStalgia Entirely different medium with entirely different standards. Especially since it was settled on 24fps because of films costs and anything less seemed "fake".

When frames persist on screen longer than they should, it feels sluggish and less responsive. Especially when it doesn't even match the refresh rate of the screen.

As for a 24fps mode, I cannot even begin to state my disdain for the "30fps is more cinematic" people because they've been brainwashed by their marketing overlords. Absolutely disgusting and one of the single worst things to stick in gaming.

Re: Sounds Like Xbox Is into the PS5 Controller

Menchi

I'm curious to see what all the fuss is about. They've added DS5 to Steam support beta and with each update is has progressively added more and more of the PS5 features. It's only missing the full range of haptic trigger feedback atm but that's coming soon. HZD and Death Stranding support it fully (sans haptic trigger, they just use PS4 trigger) I'll probably wait to play HZD till after I get a PS5 (whenever they launch an exclusive game) and use the DS5 on that.

Re: Metro Exodus Gets PS5 Version, New Entry in Development

Menchi

@pharos_haven It'll make very little sense if you don't play the previous 2. Also by playing the previous 2 you will be disappointed by Exodus because they are far better games. It's almost universally agreed that the switch from tight linear focused stort design to an open world destroyed almost everything that was best about the series.

Re: Poll: Did You Get a PS5?

Menchi

I didn't vote because no option is there for me really.

I cancelled my preorder 2 months ago because there's nothing I wanted to play on it.

Re: PS5 Coil Whine Complaints Intensify as System Launches in Europe

Menchi

@get2sammyb Warranties are usually non transferrable and are typically only offered to the purchaser. Officially.

Unofficially:
If the scalper gives you the receipt where they bought it from too though, how are they gonna prove you didn't buy it originally after all. Only catch is if you've no proof of purchase, you might be in trouble.

Re: First Next-Gen Face-Off Is a Wash, But PS5 Performs Best

Menchi

@carlos82 Have you seen the 6800XT vs 3080 benchmarks today? The new AMD stuff is worthless. Worse in practically every game compared to a 3080. And since the RT is handled in CUs, the 3080 can deliver up to 500% more frames in certain games with raytracing on and without DLSS. Turning on DLSS upscaling widens the gap even more.

Such a shame. I was hoping they'd catch up like they did with intel. The 6900XT will be a good card, if you never want to use raytracing. Basically a dead card.

Re: PS5 Sold Out in Japan, But Launch Numbers Are Dire

Menchi

@playstation1995 I'm not saying it's not, I have no personal stake in it since it doesn't appeal to me, not even when it comes to PC down the line. But japanese gamers, who only got the console today/last night, are finally finding out what it's like and aren't happy.
