It's just the typical tech bro attitude. They think just because they are willing to lose more money than everyone else trying to control a market, they must have invented it. It's the whole rewarding risk religion in tech.

PC Gaming ERA | November 2019 - They'll Soon Be Back, And In Greater Numbers
- Thread starter Uzzy

Hello guys. I have an issue that is plaguing me for some time now. I recently did a small upgrade on my gaming stuff, bought a new GPU (RTX 2060) and a 4k TV. Now, my issue is regarding the TV, its a Samsung NU7100, which I know is not really setting the world on fire in terms of quality, but in a lot of content I am using it for, it blows my mind. Except for gaming. Most of the games I am playing have this weird "washed out" feeling, like the hertz are not 60 or the gamma is wrong. Its really distracting, and its bumming me out.
Increasing the resolution in games helps to make the image better, but since I dont have a RTX2080TI, performance suffers a lot. I tried testing the games with HDR on and OFF, increasing brightness, sharpening, but with no success.

You have an old beta build active on it. Go into properties and opt out.anyone know why it says legacy beside gang beasts? hadn't noticed it before
ahh, been long enough i guess i forgot, i think i vaguely remember doing that. thanks.
And forums like Era don't allow you to point out that :D Oh well I guess Tim will continue to push his false narrative and we can't do anything about that.
Oh are we at the point where we pretend like, 90 percent of Epic threads aren't just weird angry rants about the store and you have to hide in this thread like it's a bunker?
Like what kind of thread did you think you had created? Half the posts were like "duh he's a moron" and telling him to fuck himself, and the rest indifferent. This place isn't biased against you in this regard.
You created a low effort r/fuckepic thread, and a mod recognized it, you weren't censored by the store police.

It gets pointed out over and over and most agree about his tweets, especially the multi-store ones. What is there to discuss really? He tweets like he does and nothing will change that, especially not a thread about it on Era. A thread that would just become a "Sweeney is dumb"-thread and that is indeed not "good discussion".
I mean, EGS-related threads are consistently some of the most contentious and there isn't really anything to say other than how disingenuous Sweeney's assertion is, so it's no surprise the thread was locked before it came to the usual head.
Simply moderate thread. There were far worse threads on gaming side not related to Epic (in my opinion any console exclusive review thread is worse). And I never said that is pointed towards me, I just wanted to point out nonsense that Tim says because I am noticing more and more among my friends who are not hard core gamers for example to start saying similar things Tim says since Epic Store launched because of that narrative.
As I said before at least we can point out how they are not true. And Era is one of the biggest gaming forums in the world so people will read about it.
I didn't mean you in a specific sense, but the way this thread gets sometimes where it pretends to be the last bastion of sanity and that like a huge amount of the audience doesn't agree with it or something.
Review threads get bad but they also tend to bring relevant news and discussion and have a "need" to exist. Like JaseC said, what's there to discuss? Maybe your anecdote is relevant, but I can't imagine the guy with like 800 tweet likes is really having the reach you think he does. The dude isn't very popular on any format and constantly gets ratioed and argued with. Like he gets compared to Trump a lot but is there really an r/theSweeney?
I just don't see anyone really parroting or promoting his thoughts that much. Nobody seems to really like him. There's no Gaben or Kojima sort of fanbase to him, from what I've seen. It tends to be, at best (also with EGS in general) "well, it's not that bad"
You can notice in conversations about Wpic Store on and outside of Era how some of his narratives pop out. Biggest one is that Valve doesn't allow Kickstarter projects to give keys since Epic Store launched. Then come other ones. And this newest "new multi-store world" nonsense is simply ridiculous. And as anything in this world if you repeat it enough to enough people it will spread out.
If we were to extend this asshole saying nothing of value on Twitter and nothing productive coming from its discussion policy further, I'm not even sure if we'd have an off-topic forum.
If you were absolutely forced to pick a $1500 pc build, what would you pick for cpu and GPU? Within the next two weeks
Honestly recommending any GPU at this time is hard. New Nvidia GPUs are apparently due to be out I first half of 2020 so buying 20xx series GPU is kinda bad investment right now. And for CPU new Ryzens are probably fine, for example Ryzen 7 3700X.
Maybe something like this
I am not sure about MB (I was never good at picking one), and if you can buy some second hand cheap GPU just to have one and wait for 30xx series.
Thanks my man! People on here really like the 3700x! Wonder why.
It is 8 core CPU for cheap. If you are looking for long term build you go with better CPU because you can change other parts over time without too much hassle.
My buddy has said that AMD software and optimization is piss poor and I should only go with intel for gaming. That's the only reason I ask. I appreciate your input
He is right and wrong. New Ryzen CPUs do have some issues and sometimes BIOS update is mandatory. But overall they offer great value and they are good enough for gaming. Intel has small advantage with high end CPUs but not enough to justify the price difference. So new Ryzen 5 and Ryzen 7 CPUs are more than enough for gaming.
Idk what to do. I need a pc. Ryzen seems smart. But I'm going to get a Ryzen cpu on my next gen Xbox. And idk if that's a good enough excuse to ignore the extra cores/threads
In my opinion CPU choice is no brainer. Much bigger issue is GPU because new series is coming but that is still 6 months away. It really is bad time for GPU purchase.
With BF / Cyber Monday around the corner it's kind of impossible to recommend anything right now anyway. You should be able to cobble something together pretty decent with 1500 bucks then. Focus on the best bang for the buck CPU and GPU wise, then the rest which isn't as likely to get as notable of deals during those events. S
It's one of those things too where I need to put it into perspective. I'm buying a next gen Xbox day one. I'm not a hardcore pc player. I just want to be able to keep up For the next 5 years.
Some of us can't even count on BF deals XD
That is why I am saying that GPU purchase is not recommended. CPU will hold up fine if you go for Ryzen 7 or if you insist Intel i7 or if you really want to spend money i9.
Why is the game name blurred? I feel like knowing the game means I can actively avoid it or not feel jibbed when I seek it but can't find it.It is a bit suspicious to remove a game from the Steam store, and keep selling the generated keys via an Humble widget.
It is not something new: the game was removed in 2015.
It is just me discovering this while looking for information about a removed game, and ending up on their Discord server, reading this message from May 2019.
Fairly sure that's not really allowed.It is a bit suspicious to remove a game from the Steam store, and keep selling the generated keys via an Humble widget.

What's the game ?

Yes.
Also not allowed to so: https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/store/retire_app
Giving they are limiting keys it sounds like it might just be an EA game that wants to make sure the people buying it want it more than the average bear, similar to that Limited Early Access Spire game that was discussed earlier.
Wouldn't doubt it if situations like that are why the Limited Early Access thing cropped up in the first place.

As I mentioned, the game was removed in 2015, so you cannot stumble upon it without actively looking for it.
I don't want the game to be banned because I might purchase it for stupid reasons...
Maaaaan, I need more time. Playing Planet Zoo and Age of Empires 2 (which is a fantastic remaster)... Can I buy some time?
So in theory, if my internet is currently capped at horrendous ADSL era speeds, can I still functionally use Steam Link without latency? I ask because I've been trying to use it on WiFi and the experience has been nothing short of lag lag lag. Mind you I'm only using WiFi because our mobile broadband box is in the study and I haven't bothered to cable out along the hallway.
Gosh I both love and hate this country and the outback. All I want is better quotas and for Telstra to upgrade our god damn tower to be 2300mhz.

Trying to finish up Outer Wilds, but the game is really getting on my nerves now. It's so easy to make small misteps for certain tasks, and when some of them requires you to travel back and forth between planets, and waiting some events in the cycle to reach a certain point, and then even more waiting after that, it's startin to feel that the game is not worth it.
Trying to reach the Black Forge. And it's not fun at all.
1. Go to Brittle Hollow.
2. Search for the shortcut to the Hanging City.
3. Raise the Black Forge.
4. Get back to the ship.
5. Travel to the Ash Twin.
6. Wait for the sand/ash level to be so low that you can get into the building with the portal to the Black Forge.
7. Wait on the portal for Brittle Hollow to be aligned with the portal.
8. Take one small mistep on Brittle Hollow, and you get thrown down to the black hole, making you have to restart everything again.

GMG still sells Mortal Kombat Arcade Kollection keys years after its delisting, but I would imagine that's a very different situation.
For those who have played it how does Darksiders III compare to previous games in the series ?
I know they released that update to make the combat more like the previous games

way less focus on puzzles (untill you get to the last area). Way more of a boss run. Borrows a lot from Souls games, so the only stuff you find in the world now are items to help improve your weapons.
-Limited number of weapons- they are tied to your "hollow" forms now, and each form gives its own weapon.
Mind, I finished the game before they introduced the combat re-balance. Waiting for the DLC to go on sale before revisiting. Even as a more souls-like game I still liked it. loved exploring the interconnected world looking for shortcuts. All but one area have a whole bunch of them, and I enjoyed looking for the collectibles and power-ups. Definitely a different approach to the Darksiders formula, though.
Looks like two Valve insiders who have leaked stuff in the past are predicting a HLVR announcement next week (though apparently it's called Half-Life: Alyx, which is not my favourite title). Crazy if it finally happens after all these years.
