"Next week is when your wallet will want to break free from your pants and hide under the couch. Not once this year has so many irresistible shiny discs become available on or around the same day.
The big question is, what are you going to do about it? Unless your wallet is fat with cash, decisions will have to be made. What if you just want the real "biggies?" What will that cost? Let's break it down platform by platform, then add up the damages."
At a time where GPUs are more available than ever, it appears as though PC gamers aren't upgrading as often as they used to.
For me, the primary concern with new software is how it's often exclusive to a new series. This not only frustrates me but also raises questions about the lifespan of the hardware. With GPUs no longer offering significant performance boosts, they rely heavily on software enhancements.
However, this reliance is contingent on developer support. When the new 5000 series hits shelves, it's likely that the 4000 series won't be compatible with Nvidia's new software. This would negate any advantage it had over the 3000 series, leaving one to wonder why they upgraded in the first place. And the same will keep happening as we move through the generations.
AMD is a bit better in that regard as they often use open standards, which offer wider compatibility. However, they have even less developer support, and their software solutions tend to lag behind Nvidia by at least one whole generation. So if you have a 3000 series from Nvidia right now, it doesn't really make that much sense to upgrade to the 7000 series from AMD because feature-wise they are pretty similar level.
oh my god, these "Here's why" articles are always about the most obvious shit ever, like do people actually read these?
because they last for generations. You don't need to upgrade every 1, 2 or even 3 years. I went from a 1080ti which served me so well to a 3080 with years in between. I won't even consider upgrading until the 5000 series at the earliest, but will most likely wait for the 6000 series.
Gary Green said: Namco Bandai heard the call of many fans asking for the PlayStation release of Tales of Graces which was originally released seemingly exclusively for the Wii back in 2009. If you’re acquainted with the Tales series then Graces f won’t be something entirely new to you, yet if you’re a newcomer then you’ll find a plethora of gameplay mechanics and nuances that distinguish this series from other JRPGs. While the game finds itself following the traditional archetype of JRPGs, such as a somewhat clichéd story, Graces has something to offer to both veterans and newcomers alike.
If you're in the market for an RTX 4090 graphics card, this one is currently the cheapest one you'll find on Amazon after a hefty discount.
It's going to be crazy. I don't even know if I'm going to have enough money. But I do have Little Big Planet and Fable II pre-ordered. I can't live without the new DS Castlevania and I need, NEED! to get Hulk on Blu-Ray. Not to mention that I'm getting Dead Space and Golden Axe Beast Rider as soon as they coming today.
I have enough patience to let the games I wanna get drop a little.
Plus, I need that money for Christmas Shopping!
Fable II is a no brainer. I loved the first one. I do not own a PS3(yet) but LBP intrests me. I have yet to upgrade to Blu-ray....still use my HD-DVD player. As for Wii Music....I think I will pass and wait for AC:CF with the WiiSpeak.
The 19th is the day money will leave the wallets and the 21st will just finish them off.
Rockband 2 and LBP FTW!!
why pick fights
