    is borderland 3 a good game, actually?

    I got it via the epic store so i can try it for you without having to pirate it. Another option is to buy it on steam and make sure not to play more than 2 hours but that often not enough to properly evaluate the game. I never got around to actually playing it.

    ongoing starfield trainwreck

    People who refunded starfield during early access couldn't review it This is why the percentage that recommends it is falling. Early on a lot of people couldn't recommend against it since they refunded it. https://steamcommunity.com/app/1716740/discussions/0/3824174193410582150/ It is a bit...

    What game publishers will learn from this Game publishers will learn that you do not actually have to deliver quality games, instead you can simply lie about the game in advance and then cherrypick rewiers to still get a decent score. Some game companies will only select full shills who will...

    ongoing starfield trainwreck

    Outdated game, outdated engine, outdated dev team, outdated CEO. The following very brutal metacritic review hits home, you can tell that this is someone who has actually spent a lot of time playing the game. Let me start: I am owner of premium edition so I have been familiar with this...

    ongoing starfield trainwreck

    Wide as an ocean - shallow as a puddle. This is a critical and very brutal review from someone who actually bought the game (which i obviously never did) If you design your game to consist of cells within cells and on top of that, divide everything within with loading screens, it kills the flow...

    My metacritic reviews I ended up submitting 3 reviews in total (the first PC review got deleted) i ended up giving the PC version 1/10 and the xbox version 0/10. xbox review You don't need an xbox to know that 30fps is awful and worthy of no higher than 0/10. Even console peasants deserve...

    Dropping steam score Right after the official launch 89% liked the game, first time i looked at the steam scores it had already fallen to 85%. now that figure is down to 82% just a few days after launch. While 82% isn't super-bad it's not exactly great either, not what microsoft needed...

    Lotteries are worse than you think

    Lottery winnings in the US are taxed This is ridiculous since states already run it and already take out nearly half to prop up their state budgets, then the federal government and the state it was won in takes even more, it's basically a scam...

    Garbage https://vintologi.com/threads/ongoing-starfield-trainwreck.1382/ It's ok but nothing special. I disliked that you couldn't see the reflections of yourself in glass even with raytracing enabled. At least cyberpunk 2077 runs well enough on good hardware (even with raytracing enabled)...

    Hardware unboxed confirms: you cannot get FPS stable above 100 Their results are similar to the earlier review showing that i9-13900K is faster than anything from AMD in this game, not that it matters much since the game is garbage anyway. It does not seem like heavy overclocking would be...

    Flight of Nova Despite the game being in early access right now and not having particularly great graphics i still had a good time with it. I just wanted to keep playing it. I stopped in order to find some way to change the graphics for the better but so far i have not found that. In terms of...

    Lotteries are worse than you think

    Lottery inspired by razzle dazzle There is an infamous carnival scam called "razzle dazzle" where the scammer initially miscounts for the benefit of the player giving them false hope. So i was thinking of making this into a legitimate lottery. People will select 8 of 72 balls and each ball...

    Lotteries are worse than you think

    How i would design a lottery for a government The goal is to get many people to play giving them false hope rather than extracting as much money as possible. For that reason most of the money would go back to the players. Tickets would be bought digitally with drawings being daily. People would...

    The history of transmaxxing

    The word "transmaxxing" has been used sparingly before i popularized and more or less defined the concept. For me it started with me thinking that having more societal polygamy would be a good thing and i was thinking of ways of dealing with excess males. This was in part due to hearing about...

    Star-citizen fanboys are gloating now Not that there was ever any hope for starfield being a viable alternative in the first place, it never was. Star-citizen is a highly restricted single-player game that doesn't offer anything close to proper exploration. Most of the community do however...

    I tried the game It seems like i got badly CPU bottlenecked with my 13900KF, unclear if this can even be fixed. It was confusing to install the DLSS mod, i ended up following this video but i am not sure if i did it correctly. I couldn't play for long due feeling discomfort in my eyes from...

    Abysmal PC performance Even GPUs like the 4070ti cannot run the game well at high settings. It runs especially bad on nvidia cards for some reason while also being sponsored by AMD, no official DLSS support, etc. But even if you get a 4090 you still will not get a good framerate due to...
