AMD cards announced yesterday seem to be able to go toe to toe with nvidia 3080s at a much lower cost. Probably not blighted by supply issues either as they get a higher yield from their production processes.

    Wally Interesting. Always good to have some competition, AMD really upped their game.

      Wally Good to know, Wal. It’ll be March or thereabouts before I take the plunge so plenty of time for research and for stocks to be replenished.

        Just finished TLOU2. Fuck me, some game that. The cut scenes and the conversational gameplay towards the end were starting to do my fucking nut in and I was a fan of those elements up til that point.

        Has anyone on here tried to pick up a new machine on release? I’m hearing there’s absolute murder in the States with availability, scalpers hoovering up stock and selling for 2000+ on Ebay. Can’t help thinking these launches and stock could be better managed.

          On a PC, but BattleRoyale on the new COD is quite something! Campaign was also fun, nice twist at the end…

          Cyberpunk 2077 having a rough launch - buggy as fuck, CDPR are getting called transphobic and it turns out the game features a lot of stuff almost custom designed to induce epileptic seizures:

          https://www.gameinformer.com/2020/12/07/cyberpunk-2077-epileptic-psa

          It’s also full of dildos - seriously lol

          “i know its cyberpunk, but my god there’s dildos eveywhere. I killed a random security guard and looted him, he had a dildo on him”

          https://www.vg247.com/2020/12/07/cyberpunk-2077-dildo-everywhere/

          Are dildos a problem?

            Depends how big it is.
            My 8 yr old wanted this, might go it a miss.

            Amps All about context innit? Time and a place for everything. Admittedly I’ve yet to play Cyberpunk 2077 but the title and 2 years of marketing led me to believe it wouldn’t be a game entirely focused on sex toys and bedroom antics.

              Will be giving it 6 months at least until getting cyberpunk. They can iron out all the bugs/plastic phalli like they did with Witcher 3 during that time.

                Looking at getting a Nintendo Switch for the family to play with as there really is limited things to get on with at the minute.

                Are they any good? Can you link it up to the TV easily and play ‘family interactive games’?

                  Hursty Yes, they are literally designed for that kind of thing. Great console.
