PC Tech The death of G-Sync inches closer...
AbsolutSurgen replied to Reputator's topic in PC/Mac Technical and PCCB
Then my G-Sync monitor must have been almost free. All reports I have ever read claim a premium of $150-$200, and that has been pretty consistent with what I paid. Card releases 2-3 years away is forever in technology... -

Most of them cost ~$200 more than a comparable Freesync monitor. That's still years away... -

AMD has locked down the console market -- and TVs primarily use HDMI. So that makes sense. Unless AMD somehow magically turns around their high end gaming cards (and rumours are they diverted resources completely away from them), mid/high end cards will continue to be dominated by nVidia. -

Yes. But a Freesync monitor won't work with any video card you would want to use. (I haven't seen an HDR Freesync monitor for quite that cheap, and I was seeing $600 ones, but they were only 60Hz refresh....) -
God of War has a 94 Metacritic Monster Hunter: World has a 90 Metacritic Far Cry 5 has an 81 Metacritic (and is the best selling game in 2018) Every single game that was on Matt's list for a top ten game is available on PS4. All of the top 8 best selling games of 2018 are available on PS4. 9 of the top 10 best selling games over the last 12 months are available on PS4. They may not be to your taste, but people are buying them.

Sales & Deals 65” LG OLED B7P (2017) for $1580 (!!!)

Always be careful about refurbished TVs. While some are in perfect condition, others may have cosmetic damage, dead pixels, burn-in, etc. I have purchased a number of refurbished small appliances, but I wouldn't touch a refurbished TV. -

General Gaming What are you playing today?
AbsolutSurgen replied to CastlevaniaNut18's topic in The Spawn Point
I didn't get the season pass on this one -- just the vanilla game. It has a little bit of a weak start, but I expect it to get better as I start to unlock the skill tree.... -
No. I don't think I have said anything about "games as a whole". I'm not sure I've thought about it enough to even have a point of view. My point of view is that progressing technology is an enabler that has allowed devs to make even better games. As well, the "game-making craft" [for lack of a better term] has progressed, partially because developers have taken the learnings from other games and continue to improve upon them. The "best games" continue to get better. I continue to be "surprised and delighted" by the new experiences that the best game developers make. However, bad games continue to be made. Bad decisions continue to be made by some developers. Shovelware continues to be made.

Playing God of War (mopping up side quests) -- trying to decide when I should start tackling Valkyries (I tried one while I was a low level 5, and coultdn't get her more than 75% down after 3-4 goes...) Finished the campaign for CoD: Infinite Warfare over the weekend. Started up Watch_Dogs 2... -
I excluded "Switch" because it has so few "great games" that I want to play and such a small library. I don't really like Platforming games, so it is hard for me to justify buying a console just to play Zelda. In my opinion, in most genres, PS4/XB1 has the majority of the "best" games of all time. I am too lazy to write a long diatribe on what they are and why I think each of them are the best. I have also been pretty clear in my follow up posts on what "genre" meant in my original post (with a link to the Wikipedia page on video game genres).
