  • Damn… so true.

    Over the course of 15+ years I used to host a weekly poker game when i was in my 20’s, then it became biweekly, and then monthly as i got older and moved a bit further from my friend group (not really that far, but far enough where weekday game was no longer an option for them). I realized i haven’t had a game in several years now just due to life and having kids and this comic is exactly something I have said out loud before. It’s also been so long that I said im gonna need to set the next date over a month away just to give myself that long to take care of the mess from not having people over for so long.












  • I was expecting the worst from the comments here, but what I saw looked really good. Lighting has always been the one thing games have struggled with and ray tracing was a nice step in the right direction but we know its just to taxing on hardware and even 5 years later still not to much better. Offering new ways to bring high quality lighting to scenes really does make scenes stand out. It really works well with cracks like when they showed cobblestone paths each stone looks like its own unique step now and everything looks pronounced.

    I have been following Crimson Desert for a bit and the new videos that came out highlight just how much better landscapes and rooms are using the highest settings which include realistic lighting and not only looks insane but they found ways to make it less taxing on the system as well. Although it’s different from what this is offering I do believe this will be the focus of the industry for the forseeable future.

    I am not sure why there is so much hate.
