Thinking of selling my PS5, how much they going for????
Already used few times but besides demon souls i havent touched it for months. I was waiting for God of war but that doesnt come out til 2023. Literally nothing else I see for sony. I was also hoping for a Bloodborne remaster but nothing.

Are there any AAA titles Im missing? I already beat returnal and ratchet with clank

I use my xbox so much and got 3TB of SSD that I dont feel the need for any other console at the moment at least.


Thoughts?

I miss when video games were pick up and play
no downloading, no load times, no long ass boring cutscenes, no updates, no long tutorial....

just pick up and play, simple fun.

playing my ps4 just made me miss n64. and retro gaming in general.

retro gaming was the best, man.

Nintendo is out here raping their customers
Let it be known I grew up with NES and SNES and loved the brand. Although I have had zero interest in Nintendo offerings as an adult I recognize they make great games that appeal to many.

BUT, I can not comprehend how they will release old games again and again, or give subscription based access to these old games now with no upgrade and just continually charge their customers again and again to use the same software on new devices. There have to be people who have purchased the same damn game 3-5 times just to play it on different devices, lol. And now I see these old ass controllers are going to sell for $50 and Nintendocels will be rushing to buy them I bet. jlmfao. Well played Nintendo, you got a hell of a business model going.

AC Valhalla is actually pretty good up there in the pantheon of Black Flag/Odyssey


its a good point he makes that the 3 reboot AC games were all post-Witcher 3 in nature and inspiration but this one set in Beowulf era England is the closest so far.

it seems like they went with the guy in Odyssey to be similar but different, but this time with Valhalla its almost a straight up clone in demeanor and facial structure of Geralt.

The thing I didn't really realize going in is that the game is actually all about English history; and is probably the best, most lush recreation of old Anglo Saxon England ever, -and even tho there was another AC set in England (in a less epic more modern era of it), this one is the real Medieval England simulator.

Watching all types of related history about it and reading through Beowulf again I had some really fun times so far. Its less about Scandanavians but rather about Old England and all its greens and lush colors

Its more like visiting Frodo in the real life shire than it is about Norse stuff.

Also the shallow weapon fest is gone which was the worst part of Odyssey. So RPG elements are more simple in a good way (post Breath of the Wild).

Overall its actually pretty addicting in a completionism black flag way where you want to just go around to every island collecting 100% of the stuff on the map and just taking in the sights.

The world design is immaculate as usual and the rest is decently good. Smoother control and behavior scheme than ever. The in game game Orlog is to Hearthstone what Gwent was to hearthstone. A simple yet well crafted re-imagining of it

Theres lots of pretty good stuff going on. I thought I would check it out and bail on it but it got me hooked more than even Odyssey in some ways maybe (which I never finished since it was a bloated mess)

PS5 has the best launch lineup in history
First years for new consoles are generally pretty baron. Just look at last gen when PS4 had nothing but TLoUR and Resogun the first year, and Xbox had literally nothing. 10 months after PS5 launch and now people are saying a console has ever had such an impressive launch lineup. Can't disagree.





What a time to be alive. (InB4 Xboxcel and PCcel cope.)

Tales of Arise is reviewing well
Honestly wasn't expecting it to review this well, but am very happy it is. Hope it sells well. Need to wrap up Tales of Vesperia before picking this up. As of typing this, it's a 88 on opencritic and metacritic.

Bethesda Studios does it again! ... Another classic hit with Deathloop
I mean Arkane Studios since people tend to confuse the two lel.... Pretty incredible. The guys who did Prey/Dishonored and one of the best devs currently in the industry. Said it before, Microsoft's acquisition of Bethesda meant that they acquired Arkane studios, the actual gem in that whole deal.

Lmao laptop prices
Had a rtx3080 laptop in my cart ready to purchase then noticed it was a 105w version....less actual power use than a laptop rtx 3070....check the benches and it's indeed complete chit...worse than cheaper rtx3070 laptops. Wtf is the point in this? Tbh, desktop rtx3070s are already mediocre. A laptop rtx3060 is comparable with a 980ti lmao lmao lmao.


Who's buying these 1500-1700$ rtx3060 laptops fukking lmao

Right now it seems like you can get a solid 130w rtx3070 laptop with 11th gen i7 for under 2k$ usd ? Is the only way to go right now?

Worthy titles to play on Ubisoft +?
Currently on Valhalla, enjoying every second of it. Tried to play Far Cry, and while it was good it was very repetitive in the go here go there stuff. Played the new Ghost Recon and realized it's the same game. At least the viking theme makes the AC game interesting. Any other titles you guys recommend? Even the old school ones. Prince of Persia Warrior Within was a game I always wanted to play as a kid and now that i'm older it's there and it's pretty dope

COD Vanguard Alpha
Just got the email it's ready to go. I have an unfortunately busy weekend but will find time to give this a try. The Gun Fight Alpha from MW2019 is what got me interested in the game as I had been sour on COD for awhile.

So far I am hearing both positives and negatives. Post your thoughts.

Thoughts on this gaming laptop?
https://www.costco.com/laptops.html?...e%2BRTX%2B3060

Pick one from this list thinking of the first one
Really only getting it cuz 90 day return policy if don’t like it can exchange/return

Idc about gfx but gameplay should be smooth

Will play on lowest settings

Want to be able to play rdr2, ac games, etc smoothly without lag fps issues etc on lowest settings

Maybe the new bf as well.

What FPS should I expect?

Will this laptop be able to
Handle games on lowest settings?

I can’t find any other gaming laptops on Sam’s club or Costco and they are the only stores with 90 day return policy if not let me know

Would it be full retard to buy Xbox X just for Splinter Cell?
Already got a PS5. I want to play Chaos Theory. Also never played Splinter Cell 1, Pandora Tomorrow, or double agent

I thought about the Series S because it's cheaper, but I figure Xbox will come out with good games and I might as well max them out.

I could also play GTA 4!!

Xbox E3 2021
This is a thread for Xbox's E3. Streaming Live tomorrow at 1pm EST. I will update with the live video tomorrow, as well as bumping and updating the main thread as the show continues.

My low ceiling predictions:
-some sort of showing of Halo Infinite
-something about Starfield, releasing 2022
-Forza Horizon 5, looks amazing. Has had an extra year of development compared to previous entries. Forza Horizon 4 was a 92 metascore and a great Microsoft exclusive.

Pre E3 Info:
-Death's Door (from devolver digital, looks great imo):




Whole Show:

Nintendo E3 2021
This is a thread for Nintendo's E3. Streaming Live at 12PM EST. Below is the live video.

We may see:
-what the 3d mario team has been working on since Odyssey (besides Bowsers Fury)
-something Zelda related
-they haven't announced much, if anything, for after July. This should fill in the second half of this year a bit.

I’m not expecting:
-Metroid prime 4
-bayonetta 3

Who else is excited for Mass Effect remaster that hasn't played any of them yet?
Am I the only one? After hearing from so many people how great it is, I'm pretty hyped about finally playing it in May when the remaster releases. Is it as good as people say? Have $20 sitting in my Steam wallet from I don't even know what. So will only cost me $40. Hnggggg

So no one bought the Mass Effect Remaster bundle?
What's the deal brahs? No one likes Mass Effect?

The "Mass Effect Legendary Edition" came out but no one is talking about it. ME2 was GOAT. Never played 3 hehe. I know that ME3 is still better than TW3 and Cyberpunk combined


I heard they excluded multiplayer from ME3

Flipping SX and ps5
Been flipping on fb marketplace as eBay/other online places is full of scammers and chargebacks and they side with buyers anyways

Been flipping ps5 for $200 profit
And series x for $100

My question is I feel like it’s too low

Although that’s what most people have em for listed as well

The consoles are only gonna get harder to find

Thoughts? Should I just hold on and months later list em for a higher profit cuz right now especially series x seems low profit margin
