    Steam+ Deals Mega Thread (All PC Gaming Deals)

    The issue there was that the Xbox version of Nier: Automata came out out long after the exclusivity period on the PS4, and had a lot of improvements to the original. The PC version on Steam was derived from the PS4 version. Microsoft asked them to produce a version for PC on par with the version...

    Pinball FX 3 will continue to be available on all platforms, along with the tables tied to it. You aren't losing anything. Just buy only new (or new to you) tables on the new Pinball FX. The existing tables you've purchased are unlikely to be so dramatically improved as to merit buying them again.

    Nintendo eShop Deals - 2/11: Capcom/Namco/Ubisoft Sales! $20 Hades, $40 Kingdom Hearts Melody of Memory, & More!

    Odd, a bunch of the items are coming up on the eShop for much lower prices, like 49 cents for Grood or 19 cents for Farabel. Which means I need to check a lot of titles I might have ignored.

    Much better month for me. I've wanted Youropa for a good while, only one item I already own, and only one in the 'I would never even consider playing this and I can't think of anyone to give it to ' category.

    I got it for $9.99 from Epic during a sale with the perpetual coupon. I felt I got my money's worth, so $1.99 on Switch is a definite must-buy.

    I'm so old I remember when a top of the line gaming card ran off bus power and had no fans.

    On the other hand, when catering to the desires of the wealthy, you can have huge margins. A substantial number of people who don't blink at paying MSRP and may even go for the 50% higher priced premium edition with $5 worth of tchotchkes. They keep making those things because the supply of...

    Better offerings in the low end requires pressure from below. In the past this has come from consoles and improved IGA. Both are going to be big pushes during 2021. A major generational leap on the console side, and big pushes from AMD and Intel on the IGA side. The best of IGA is currently...

    I had well over 100K Chorno coins, so after getting Fictorum and Redout I still have about 90K coins. Those last five additions will be interesting to see, especially if they manage to come up with enough titles I don't already have to make me need to choose among them. If they're all 15K or...

    It also seems to work on Android devices and probably IOS devices. I installed HBO GO on a Kindle Fire tablet and was able to watch several items without being asked for any account info.

    Of course it's free, Unless you count the need to get a new GPU to derive any benefit from it.

    I don't know what to tell you. Do you have a PS Plus subscription active? That is the only variable that seems likely to have an effect. If I already owned the game the box would read 'Download to your PS4'. It isn't in the 'Free To Play' category, which would be very strange when it isn't like...

    I was checking to see if I already had 'A hole New World' on another platform, as it seems very familiar. When I checked PSN, it was free on both PS4 and Vita. I don;t know if this is recent or not but if you have either of those machines you might as well add it to your library.

    Doesn't the Switch default to internal memory for save games? That would make the bulk of write operations, unless the user is in the habit of frequently deleting and downloading again, which seems to contradict the usefulness of a high capacity card.

    The game market is diverse. Shovel Knight and The Last of Us can be popular at the same time and even with the same players. That said, there are always projects that seek to advance the bleeding edge. What is more subtle is what happens to middle budget projects over time. Things that were once...

    8K will be a demo for the major lifespan of any gaming GPU launching this year. There is plenty of room for improved performance at current mainstream resolutions. The big RAM eaters are scene size/complexity and textures. The more that can live and be processed fulltime on the GPU the better...
