Same feelings as you when I finally completed the final ending of the expansion (after doing all the side gigs etc). I kept a save file from just before as I haven't done the car racing or boxing quest lines, not sure there is much story there but might give them a go. Also only got about half...

Friendly fire is definitely a part of the game, especially on 64 player team objective servers, but the actual damage you do per hit is very low so don't worry about it (but it is frustrating when they stop you from hitting an enemy). Latency/ping is definitely important in Chiv, I am lucky to...

Bought this over the Christmas sale on Steam along with a few friends and wow, we are absolutely loving it. I have 60 hours into it in 6.5 weeks. We all played Chiv 1 back in the day but never played Mordhau. The combat system and more importantly the objective based map design and pacing make...

Haven't played the first game but am tempted now. I am into story/visual quality on single player games, sounds like it's enjoyable for something different?

Finished the main quest line in Phantom Liberty earlier this week, absolutely fantastic and on par quality/story wise with The Witcher 3 expansions. I think I put about 20-25h into it, including a bunch of side quests/gigs in Dogtown. Still doing gigs/follow-on Phantom Liberty stuff now and...

Used 4080's in Canada must drop down to $1100-1200 max in my view. Used cards should cost less than a new card pre-tax by at least $100-200. Sellers of course are often delusional and will sit on listings for months until accepting the price landscape has changed. Just keep hitting new listings...

How did your actual in-game boost clock and temperatures compare from stock to the 925mV and +1000MHz memory?

Biggest question to me is what will the RTX 5080 launch price be. If we assume a late Q4-24 or early Q1-25 launch (based on cadence of 30x0/30x0 Super and 40x0 launches) we aren't that far out. 4080S for $1000USD or 5080 for 1200USD if it offers ~30-40% performance boost and possible new...

Problem with looking at recent used values of 3090 (regardless of market) is the 40x0 Super series is too new to have impacted those used values. 4080 Super at $1000USD instead of $1200USD is going to force used values lower on stuff like 3080Ti and 3090 since the relative value of those used...

Sucks, loved both the newer DX games.

For me at least, ray tracing is a very meaningful change in gaming enjoyment. Cyberpunk, Metro Exodus etc. I do fall into that category re: $1000USD budget for video card, but I would only consider NVDA at this point for that reason. Especially with the new QD-OLED HDR displays. Visual fidelity...

I just played the main quest line (from memory anyway). In open world games I rarely bother doing anything outside of main and significant side quest lines (for games like Mass Effect, Cyberpunk etc). Open world content just feels like fetch quest filler stuff. I don't have muhc time to game...

4080S for $1k USD caught my eye, currently on a 10gb 3080 (from release) on a 9700K at 5GHz. At the same time I feel like best course of action is to wait until 5080 and do a full new build in spring 2025 with a Ryzen X3D or something. The new QD-OLED panels just coming out also look like game...

2042 is actually in a pretty good state these days. Player count is way up (based on Steam alone) since season 6. I have zero problems findings games in the PNW of any type (Conquest 64/128, Rush or TDM). The Season 6 map (Redacted) is a bit of a meat grinder, kind of reminds me of Metro, but is...

Been slowly enjoying my way through the expansion and wow it's really good. Ended up re-rolling my level 35 character to a stealth sniper/tech weapon build based on a Fextralife guide and wow, using some of the weapons you get in the expansion is so fun, downing most enemies with one shot crit...
