General Games Discussion

Oh, I completely get why you would rate Colossus higher than New Order. Personally, I just think New Order was a more condensed experience. Colossus was great, but it’s biggest plot twist (the first scene you refer to in your spoiler) seemed quite cheesy and unrealistic to me. It reminded me a bit of 80s/90s movies, where people didn’t care as much whether or not the story had plot holes, or really made all that much sense. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a memorable scene and it was necessary to keep the story going, I just think it was a bit cheesy and highly unlikely

Colossus is a really good game with some memorable scenes, but I feel like it’s pacing could’ve been better. I’m pretty sure it’s a longer game than New Order, but unlike New Order, there were parts of the game where I felt the story was dragged on more than necessary. Like I said before, New Order felt like a significantly more condensed, and perhaps more polished experience. Colossus seemed more ambitious, but was consequently more inconsistent in it’s quality, in my opinion.

Lmao, how times change.

It kinda reminds me of MGS sometimes. Wish there were more stealth based FPS out there.

Cannot remember the last purist based stealth game.

Metal Gear an obvious one but Splinter Cell was the best in terms of pure stealth until Ubisoft for some fucking reason turned it into an arcade mark-and-execute action game.

Only can hope for it to make a reprisal to its roots but at E3 it was made into....a mobile platform game.

64 cores   Are there any software with code written for 64 cores? I doubt it.

Also $3990

Any encoding/decoding work can usually be linearly optimized for more parallel work by just cutting a chunk of it for every core to work with. Video encoding, file compressing, Adobe filtering etc. Example streamers will save time a lot when encoding videos. For gaming something like mass battles should be easily scalable linearly, yes looking you M&B2, don't disappoint us.

In HEDT best Intel has to offer is 18/36 part, compared to 64/128 3990X of AMD. They're are currently in stone age with their monolithic design, which sounds truly bizarre after the last decade. Intel needs double server chips to compete with AMD HEDT, and even then it's a complete massacre by every possible way.

Apparently Sony are skipping E3 again in favour of doing their own events.

E3 is in the worst shape it's ever been -- last year it was half-empty, and that was before they doxed thousands of attending journalists -- so Sony skipping again would make total sense. I'd expect them to announce their own big PS5 event(s) instead

E3 as we know it is dead imo.

Shame I prefer a couple of action packed days with lots of news to more days but far and in between over the course of a year.

Agreed. I also think there’s a certain charm to E3’s cringy and awkward presentations. Traditionally, the more stacked their program has been, the more awkward moments they’ve produced. Having all of these reveals and presentations in one place made it a lot easier to keep up with them all.

Yea E3 without Sony usually isn't as good.

sad to hear tbh, always loved E3

Playstation.com automatically sets the language to Norwegian, and I can’t seem to be able to change it.


In 2019 you played 49 days
336 hours locally
2 hours online
6 hours longest gaming streak
You played 26 different games
You play the most on Sunday afternoons.

I’m pretty sure I’ve played more than 2 hours online in a single day The different games stat is inflated by PS Now.

Huh. How did you end up playing less than me?

From what I can tell, I played 85 hours more than you, and spent a day less than you in doing so. I have no clue how it works, though. I definitely spent more than 2 hours playing online

Does it include watching Netflix too or only games?

Sekiro was my most played at 53 hrs, I put about 80 in with Zelda and Pokemon. This is like double what I played in 2018 btw.

I expect to surpass that total by May this year.

In 2019 you played 124 days
307 hours locally
0 hours online
6 hours longest gaming streak
You played 07 different games
You play the most on Saturday afternoons.

I bought PS4 in mid April lol.
