Scratch what I said: https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/cpus/unannounced-ryzen-9-9950x3d-dominates-ryzen-7-9800x3d-in-factorio-benchmark-ryzen-9000x3d-flagship-up-to-18-percent-faster-than-current-fastest-gaming-cpu

That isn’t how ai works

Usually 9s are better than 7s due to higher clock speeds but since the ccx with the extra cache already ran at its limit there’s (or was) no room for improvement for x3d parts. And in zen4 only one ccx (half the cores) had extra cache in the case of 7900x3d and 7950x3d, making performance inconsistent

Yes, but it’s likely that it will not be any better than this for gaming, and might even be worse if they go hybrid again

Especially after amd advertised it as just a 8% avg uplift

Wtf is this poll:

3k people really unsure if they bought or not

Still no buffer to RAM :/

Fsr doesn’t use ml. And I don’t think dlss needs special tuning anymore neither. They fucked something up

That website was really tempting… until I remembered that these run on AA batteries and don’t have gyro or a touchpad. M$ really selling an 85$ controller without the features of the 50$ ps5 controller

Edit: apparently dualsense are 75$ now?? Wtf. and apparently they’ve never been 50$? Just discard my comment

I see, I don’t consciously think about the map/level design when playing something so my opinion of doom comes from its mechanics and presentation, both of which are lacking in comparison to what indie boomer shooters have today.

find better examples of them (Bioshock

I don’t know if I played it wrong or something but I really didn’t like bioshock 1. It lasted like twice as long as it was fun and as time passed enemies just got spongier. Ammo is super scarce in the beginning and super common at the end. Shooting not very satisfying. The existence of the elemental gun. Bioshock 2 was much better imo

I meant it as “yes why did you ask?”

I don’t have strong feelings about level design. I think the levels I enjoyed the most were in other episodes. If this is about the keys I’m neutral about them, I like exploring everywhere anyways so I’d just collect them on the way. I don’t know what else to say

I feel the same way for smb. It has historical importance but it’s not up to the quality standards of today. I like the digital movement, feels better than the analogue stick in nwerer games

Big fan of control, that’s why I’m willing to give this a go.

There was news other week about them seeking investment from tencent to finish control 2, they operated at a loss in 2022, 2023 and first half of 2024 and they didn’t do layoffs despite the industry trend. They also bought control from 505. They need the money

Puha said FBC: Firebreak is meant to be “a pick-up-and-play experience” that’s easy to jump into, and while “a steady supply of new content” is planned post-release, it’s not intended to be a game-as-a-service: “This isn’t about logging in every day for some loot or fear of missing out on materials.”

It’s live service… Or is that a bad thing? Then it’s not! Unless…?

/s Sounds like they’re trying to catch the paranormal coop online multiplayer crowd that makes a game go viral every year to ease their financial woes

This goes on the ‘might be an impatient gamer for this’ pile

Yes?

Maybe they keep it fresh for people that already like it, but I haven’t seen anyone excited to play doom due to its mods

On the other hand, how is doom even on the list? This isn’t a ‘most influential games’ list. Surely the 10th best game in 2024 isn’t Doom 1993? Their scoring system (Quality 60%, Importance 15%, Hotness 15%, Playability 10%) makes sense to me, but how they assign those scores is baffling.

Take doom and doom eternal for example:
Doom 1993: Q 8.41 - I 9.99 - H 6.81 - P 6.81
Doom eternal: Q 8.00 - 7.45 - H 6.09 - P 8.45

How is cardboard enemies, simplest damage mechanics, story made of 2 still pictures and exposition text, and single axis camera control higher quality than any modern shooter? And in what universe could a 30 year old game be called hot??

It looks like a Mexico filter reshade preset ‘mod’ at best. At worst they changed the mood and time of day of a bunch of scenes and npcs potentially glow indoors now (like at 1:41)

Metaprogression

That’s much better. Op turns into soup in the laser*(edit: damn autocorrect) scene

Did YouTube decrease the bitrate again?
