On second thought, it's badly optimized and looks like shit. Yet another showcase of corruption on critical reviews. 97 on Metacritic my ass. Laughing

Did you buy it off Rockstar launcher?

@Harmonica, how does the CPU usage looks like? my old dual core CPU has served me well so far but i'm genuinely worried it might not make it this time, looks like this one will finally force me to upgrade it.

You still using Shopto? I moved off them a while back.

I pre ordered Pokemon and Star Wars and they both come out the same day Laughing

That's going to be a fun weekend.

Haven't bought it yet, waiting Steam release. I take the previous back somewhat, that was on high textures, and ultra looks much better and performs almost the same.

There's graph previous page with 2 core, you can still get 60 fps with good enough GPU.

Rockstar worst ever release on PC by far. Gonna wait a month too to get it on Steam. By then the bugs will hopefully be ironed out too.

by Harmonica Wed Nov 06, 2019 4:32 pm

Yeah hopefully they'll also fix Pascal performance vs. Turing, seems broken atm.

Google Stadia launches in 13 days, and I feel like there's zero hype for it.

lol forgot about this fad

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Wed Nov 06, 2019 7:12 pm

I did too until i saw the tweet, seems like the general public doesn't care either.

by Pedram Wed Nov 06, 2019 7:54 pm

Can understand why it's not getting much traction tbh, people like to own their games 'physically' on their consoles or PCs, being an always online service is obviously a huge turn off too as not everyone have access to high speed internet.

by Firenze Wed Nov 06, 2019 9:16 pm

it's not a fad, what stadia's doing is the future 1000%, I just don't believe infrastructure is ready for it for another 5 years minimum. also, it's been a terribly fumbled launch by Google, which doesn;t help. Will need someone like Sony or Nintendo to take this approach before it really becomes the standard.

Imagine having data caps

Fucking US man, hope none of you ever live there

by M99 Thu Nov 07, 2019 11:14 am

I never had a data cap on home internet lol.

by Thimmy Thu Nov 07, 2019 12:32 pm

We had a data cap on our ADSL, 20 years ago. Of course, you could just pay a premium to increase it from 2GB or whatever it was Razz

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Thu Nov 07, 2019 12:38 pm

I'm sure we had a data cap at one point but i don't remember it lol.

by Thimmy Thu Nov 07, 2019 12:40 pm

I remember it because my dad got pissed off when I used my many P2P «apps» to download movies, music and porn, and the speed of the internet in our entire household suddenly was cut in half Laughing

by Myesyats Thu Nov 07, 2019 1:11 pm

Data caps in almost 2020? wtf did I just read

by Firenze Thu Nov 07, 2019 1:45 pm

I had a cap in the mid to late 2000s, but it seems like they just don't exist now, thankfully, just a complete greed move from ISP's when they existed. Still plague North America, and apparently if you go over it's pretty expensive per gig used.

by RealGunner Thu Nov 07, 2019 6:30 pm

Data caps were a thing when technology was limited and the premium lines were for the rich.

Data caps now only belong in 3rd world countries

by Unique Thu Nov 07, 2019 6:46 pm

everyone gets data capped they just call it fair use policy Laughing

I'm taking it was gay porn?

by Thimmy Fri Nov 08, 2019 12:12 pm

I had a feeling someone would take that opportunity to crack a hilarious and completely unpredictable joke, but then I thought to myself that the average age of this forum is relatively high, so I didn’t bother specifying that it was heterosexual porn. We all learn from our mistakes Very Happy

by danyjr Fri Nov 08, 2019 12:22 pm

I was gonna ask you for some of those files I'm not interested anymore if they're all straight porn :coffee:

Spoiler:

by Thimmy Fri Nov 08, 2019 12:26 pm

In all seriousness, I think 90% of it was mature porn.. or what would later be referred to as «MILF» porn thanks to American Pie Laughing
