legend Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 5 hours ago, best3444 said: I was obviously kidding. I'm just not a skilled gamer so I play my games now on the easiest difficulty. I did do better than I thought I would in Elden Ring but I could never beat the game. I dunno. Sometimes I wonder if games feel "harder' when we're older just because when we were young we didn't pay too much attention to how many times we would die and just immediately retry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stepee Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 I think games are much easier than they used to be when I was young and have been since the ps360 era when everything started having difficulty options with the one exception that since Dark Souls came out the action genre has had a high percentage of games without modifiable difficulty. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it matter vs just using a higher internal res and upscaling to 4k? Probably not much on 65”. But I think 8k will be the time to move up to 77”. My sister has the 77” LG OLED mounted on her wall and it’s incredible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s in no way big enough to where 8k would really be worth it unless I was sitting like 3 feet away I’m not the biggest believer in this chart tbh, but the jump between 4k and 8k isn’t as big as 1080p to 4k was (just like how SD to 1080p is even more noticeable than 1080p to 4k). The most noticeable thing is that you can sit super close and won’t notice any loss in quality due to the pixel density of 8k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s 0 aliasing at native 12k: I’ve been thinking of it as the “most important” resolution to get to because of that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Games are easier now for sure but maybe I lack patience rather than skill at my age. Especially since you can hold your own with difficult games.

But that was mainly as games were less than an hour in length to complete- the longevity came from having to repeat a cycle multiple times until you’d mastered a stage/level/game 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
