    Has anyone done the math on a first party subscription launch vs standalone sales ? My understanding is the former is only successful if

     

    - has extreme monetisation/ mtx

    - is staggered / drip content 

    - sequels likely to have larger gaps between them vs traditional ala carte selling 

     

    GP aim is to get people to lock-in with multi year subs currently, selling xboxes is secondary benefit

    These schemes of excess monetization will come later, once Satya demands that Spender show returns on his purchases via company money

    The number of people selling their xboxs vis a vis ps5s on tp here itself says a different story 

     

    PS5 is hot commodity to buy.

    Shoebox Series X on the other hand nobody cares about when stock drops.

    And series L sales are so bad that it can be found in stock and Amazon and other places easily :rofl:

     

    Altough I think series X sales will be quite less on TP because it has 12 TFLOPs of powa and all, it's the legit other current gen console.

    What he did to get perma ban? Smh

     

     

     

     

    Not sure if it's perma ban, basically AC had posted a video on elden ring thread where he and his mimic tear use 2x rivers of blood to kill the boss malenia.

    on that Hope started behaving like a lvl 9999 pr0 gamer for no reason saying that it's not an achievement with "summons" and you must solo the boss, and how hope has played all the souls games( except elden ring :lol: )

     

    TLDR Hope went full retard in the elden ring thread for no reason.

    I keep getting notification that my pc ready for Win 11. Is it worth upgrading?  Or wait more till all issues fixed?

     

     

     

    I have not faced any issues.

    Only big problem is they've changed all the icons which look chindi af

     

    also drag and drop into the running program icons on taskbar doesn't work, you also can't right click now on taskbar to open the task manager.

     

    All minor issues

     

    Aside from this you can take screenshots with series x controller share button( they disabled it on win10 :rofl: )

    I need everything. Thanks for taking your time with this :)

     

     

    Not sure about vids, blogging on ivg maybe :D

     

     

    Not sure, 120fps is what ppl are gaming at nowadays on pcs? Preferably 4k...

     

    PS: Seems liks 4k would blow my budget out, might have to settle ofr 1440p then.

     

    You can play 4K though, but the DLSS wala, DLSS only supported for newer games( like think 2018 and later )

    But for native 1440p at 60 fps or whatever your GPU can push( i.e you need to get 144hz monitor )

    It’s not about how much time you take. 
     

    HZD wasn’t announced until 2015 & GoW,Spider-Man not until 2016.

     

    All games released with 2 years of announcements. 
     

    Fooling your audiences over & over again with announcements of pre-production games as if they are just around the corner is what’s scummy. 
     

    M$ has aced that over the years. 

     

    Deep down even they know that GP is a temporary solution, they can't continue with it always.

    Also Xbox players want their own exclusives aside from trimurti so they do this.

    so guys, can anyone tell me how much a decent gaming desktop would cost to build from scratch? Just give me a rough estimate...

     

    Monitor will inflate your budget btw, so if you don't have that..

    Also what res/fps you want to play on? that also will impact the type( and cost ) of GPU you will need.

     

  8. I am playing this on Win11 whatever the latest update is, the Gamepass version, and Xbox Series X controller works now using bluetooth also, I have set to "exclusive fullscreen"( default for gamepass and windows store games is windowed mode but borderless, idk why is it so ) in the little settings menu that comes up before the actual game is launched.

    Finally tomorrow i'll have some actual variety aside from playing only Elden Ring since last 2-3 weeks :lol:

     

  9. Question for those who have done it, how did y'all go about the motu-patlu boss fight? One look at those two hooded creeps and I knew i wouldn't be able to do it without Bernahl summon :P

    Also had to bring out the mimic tear, tiche was useless this fight

     

    God bless glintstone comet, does reliable damage to anything anytime, smacked both patlu and motu with it till their hp was like 40%, both died and then one more patlu appeared like Thanos using the tesseract portal :rofl:

    Then I finally used my katanas :arigato:

    Companies remaking these games aren't the ones who would make new entries. It is not like decisions are made between remaking something and making a new entry. Hence, saying that give me something new instead of a remake makes no sense. If anything, sucessful remakes convenience makers to make new entries, which otherwise wouldn't have been made 

     

    Kloppfan only hates remakes because Sony is the one that has been making them mostly.

    Thing is Sony has a lot of old IPs that they can make remakes of and people would buy, the other side has precious little apart from trimurti.

     

    Also remake !== remaster, FFVII Remake ko dekhlo, it looks like one of those FF7 CGI films from many years back compared to the turn based PS1 original

    PVR IMAX Noida prices for Jurassic Park are 840 for normal tickets, and 1240 for recliner. 

    what the f**k has happened to PVR pricing? Is it just me who thinks these are insane prices ? Worst is almost all these seats get full ! 

     

    Try for weekday show and farther from the release date, it's loot during the first few days after release.

    Dr Strange price for IMAX dropped from like 850 for those top row seats to 420 currently, it's just a week since release.

    If a man doesn't apologize for other man's mistake on social media, how will she notice it?

    There was one guy on twitter who had pinned tweet which gave his phone number and address etc, and it mentioned his area. It said that if any sister is afraid to travel in public transport, he is available to accompany them for free as safety support.

    Later on, his tweets and DMs were exposed and he was thirsty and desperate af. One girl even posted her sexy pic in micro mini skirt or something, but since she had blocked him, he was replying to some other guy asking for pic by using choicest of vulgar slurs. 

    Most of the guys who exhibit such behaviour are extremely creepy and thirsty for some action.

    Bill Burr sums them up beautifully.

    Watch from 1:12 onwards:

    Once the acquisition fully completes (It's not finished yet - will only complete in 2023 afaik) - expect some of Bethesda's (Especially BGS's) freedoms to be curtailed. They have taken things far too slowly. A new ES should have come long before now. Fallout 76 should never have happened. ES Blades should have been a side project - and not one announced as the main piece at the Bethesda show-case at E3. A new main-line Fallout should also have happened recently (At least by 2021-2022). 

     

    I expect some whips are going to be cracked and some discipline be enforced once the acquisition has been fully completed. Todd will be the head - yes. But he will also be responsible for answering some really tough questions if BGS (Not other subsidiaries like Arkane, Machine Games etc.) if they function the way they have up till now.

     

    WTF I LOVE PHIL NOW!

    Hope he applies the much need boot to Todd Coward

    Instead of F76 they could have given us quality FO4 DLC, but nahi.

    Commander Niall, Fire Giant, that frost dragon. Barely doing any damage to them, while getting one shotted from their hits.

     

    btw only solution to not getting 1 and 2 shotted by the fire fatso is to summon alexander, he draws aggro reliably so you can wail on the red headed fatass himself.

    Discovered this hidden ez mode after 30 times of getting randomly pancaked to death by his thali-slams and him rolling over me like he's adele  .

    Once you reach 2nd phase hit the body only, even though the hands are now the weakpoint, much more reliable to get in some dmg.

    Also respec to get your vigor to 40, it should give you decently sized HP bar, and level up and upgrade your weapons to do the needed damage numbers

    I wish we could get a 4k 60fps patch/remaster for these games:

     

    1. Assassins Creed Unity (great crowd density and parkour, game was ahead of its time)

    2. Watch_Dogs (remember E3 2012 demo?, it would be great to see that version)

    3. Sleeping Dogs (combat is unique, love environmental kills)

    4. Batman Arkham Knight (definitive Batman game IMO, has so much Batman content, introduces the player to a lot of Batman villains and allies, Mark Hamill Joker and Kevin Conroy Batman <3)

    5. Watch Dogs 2 (one of better Ubisoft games along with Far Cry 5 in terms of look, graphics and minimal UI, fantastic virtual tourism)

     

    If you have the adani tier wealth necessary to get a decent GPU, PC banao, sab 60 fps hoga :P

    You can have 4k also thru nvidia DLSS for new games and old games probably can do native 4k

    Since I got the moonveil katana the game has died for me. 

     

    I cant play with any other weapon and I can play in only one very specific way with this weapon. I would still say bloodborne > elden ring 

     

    Im too tired with this game, I dont think Ill finish it. Im at the godskin twins

     

     

     

    For me it's the other way around, got bored of moonveil + uchi combo, now i'm dual wielding greatswords, will switch to str/fth build after that.

    Also if you've levelled Int for moonveil better start making use of spells.

    Thank Miyazaki this game doesn't allow invading single player worlds so you can play online safely without some griefer invader gandu(s) ruining your game

    If you're ok with cheese you can just comet azur him with buffs

     

     

    I replicated this video somewhat but didn't have the needed buffs/talismans so wasn't able to 1 shot him, yet it got him to like 15% HP with both summons dispatched.

    The AI is dumb here so everyone just rushes into your death beam, unlike Radahn or Astel where you get shot by a arrow or laser the first time you walk in.

    What level is ideal for Mountain tops? I'm a level 100 and getting absolutely slapped around by the bosses there. 

     

    https://eldenring.wiki.fextralife.com/Game+Progress+Route#MountaintopsOfTheGiants fextra says level 90+

     

    Which bosses are slapping you specifically? like I was getting smacked by death rite bird and I was level 127 :rofl:

    Then I was using magic + frost weapons, both of which it was resistant to :lol:

     

  19. On the faith side of things is there any equivalent to the glintstone pebble/cometshard ?

    This spell has saved my a*s around 2 times now,  against Mohg the Omen and against giant mountaintops death rite bird,

    Basically you keep pelting the boss with this spell, it's a relatively safe way to deal damage while the spirit summon holds aggro

    Otherwise bosses lime Mohg and death rite bird have too much bullshit and surprises to go 100% melee the whole fight.

     

    Anyway I've got to Elphael brace of Haligtree and the waygate to Mohgwyn palace is active, should I explore these areas now or go for main content( fire giant, set erdtree aflame etc ) ?
