Aaandddd Khatam Baat !!
Housemarque Take a f**king Bow.. Haven't been so addicted to any game as this one, even though it breaks you so much if you are failing at it.. it gets you back.. a sweet pain indeed
Patience is the key but it's totally totally worth it
Out of the total stats 75+ of my deaths were in Biome 123, most would be in 1&3 I would say.. As much as the game f**ks you in 123, you can give it back to game in 456 from the Weapons you are going to get.. I got through 3-6 in 2 long sessions pretty much.. Hollowseeker is Bae, But Electropylon Driver is the Real Bitch.. shows the enemies where they belong.. I cheesed even the B6 Mini Bosses like he never existed..
Final Boss wasn't as crazy but went so much beef prepped 4X Large Vials lol.. Last 3 minutes I don't know wtf I was doing instead of shooting the weak points
Personal thanks and credits
@Vamos For the initial hour run walk-through briefing and getting the basics nailed down
@hope Yes Hope, for B2 tips and intro to Hollowseeker
@Mr. Comingle For buying the game and mad talks after killing each boss.. Oh ya and that livestream
@STICK3Rboy For Bitchslapping the game and showing how its done and finding the gem Electropylon Driver
@Heaven Angel True MVP of the game and for always motivating
Already found 3 sunfragments.. so will unlock the secret ending soon and then slowly go for Plat phew !
Take a break from platting the game and Dunzo it to me

Lot of ppl like to believe that but it’s not truePS3 took over 360 life to date sales by the end of that generation
despite a full 1 year launch gap between the two
Most of the PS3 sales were towards the end of the lifecycle, you can apply the same logic to PS5/XSX/XSS, we don't know what's going to happen (unliklely MS will come on top in numbers, but the same could have been said about the PS3 - Sony's 1st party games boosted the sales towards the late and end stages of the gen life cycle) But the early and mid days, the 360 was way more popular, in spite of the RROD debacle.
But that was not the point I was trying to make. They want subscriptions and to achieve that, they will keep adding value to GP/GPU, making it more and more lucrative. Hopefully that makes Sony improve the PS+ and in the end the consumer wins.
Personally I don't care who's beating whom as long as I'm getting good returns from my investments

MS has changed their business model. They are not banking on the console hardware sales. For them 'Xbox Gaming' is an ecosystem. They are focused on increasing their GP/GPU subscription regardless of the underlying platform.
The 360 beat the PS3 in numbers because Sony tripped. Last gen would have been a fair playing field, but the xbox launch debacle hamstrung them and Sony ran away with it. This gen, both consoles are comparable, but Sony has entered into it with a massive advantage from the last gen.
MS know they can't beat Sony in the numbers game, hence the value proposition of the Gamepass (esp with 3 years stacking). With studio acquisitions, they are slowly trying to tip the 'exclusivity' scales. Having Bethesda, Oblivion etc churning out 1st party IPs and taking franchises like Elder Scrolls, Fallout etc out of the competitive platform will slowly chip away at the numbers (though it might not be enough to beat Sony). This, along with offering all their 1st Party games as Day 1 games is all geared towards increasing their install base. They don't care if you're on the XSX/XSS/Windows/xCloud. As long as you're in their ecosystem and subscribed to GP/GPU, they are happy.
In short, looking only at hardware sales is also a form of tunnel vision. Because MS is not really playing that game, they know they can't win it. At least not in the near future..

You are underestimating a mainline Halo and Forza Horizon game. Xbox one sold 50-60 million units just based on these franchises.
Considering how botched xbox one reveal was it's quite an achievement.
If you want to see how much an unsuccessful console sells, look at Vita or Wii u.
But this generation they have a lot more. Ascent is not just a freebie. It's solid top down rpg.
They released a video showing its mechanics. Game is legit:
Ascent is looking great! I really hope it turns out well. Looking forward to Flight Sim, Hades & Back 4 Blood as well.
After finishing Demon Souls, was looking for a decent co-op game, hope Ascent provides that!

People are paying millions, at the same time there is heavy criticism laid out for not having a game worth full price on a yearly basis. It is the goose that Lays their golden egg, but if this goes on, they might be murdering.Also, if you are playing FUT regularly, you easily get 500-1000 hours yearly. That's one of best investment you get. If you play just casually, then stick with previous year or buy it later.
Price isn't issue for regular players. Not releasing next-gen version for 2 years in a row is a big no for me. Last year I skipped as PC didn't get next-gen upgrade. This year too same. No, thanks.
A subscription based model can offset the one time 5k for players and spreads it over a year and could keep their overall fiscals intact. And more than the actual game, EA mints on microstransactions, which is a steady source of income and profits for them over the year.
It was more of wishful thinking than anything else.
You don't need to grind coins now imo, if you play divisions, it's easy to get 40-50k every week. If you play Weekend League, that adds another 30-40k and pack luck can take it further

Fifa should just go ful live service and stop charging full game prices annually. I play a decent amount of FUT and usually go for the Ultimate Edition just so I don't have to buy the contracts and get some fodder from the packs. I read somewhere instead of the weekly packs, they will now be offering 4600 Fifa points, which is great. That way at least I can chose to buy the packs when there are good promo packs.
But paying the full price for the game every year definitely hurts... Atleast for me, from FUT perspective, the year on year improvements have never been worth the money... But FUT is my go to game and the most played by far.... So unfortunately, this is pre-order for me...

Where you using a full house UPS ? Inverter makes sense for a full house, UPS does not.
With an inverter, you'll need space to keep battery too. Try for the APC 1100V UPS. Works fine if your need is just a few seconds.
No, only for the TV, consoles & router. But the UPS batteries died very quickly in my case. Had picked up 1KVA UPS each time. My inverter also is right now only connecting the same. I guess the UPS issues began after I upgraded from the PS4 to the Pro. The Jet engine pretty much tripped the UPS anytime there was a power cut and I was playing.

nope. no inverter. There is DG in the building, but there is a lag of like 5 seconds before that kicks in. So everything shuts down once and then comes back up. So, need something to bridge the transition.
I would advise to go with an inverter. I had the exact same problem, the building back up took 3-5 seconds to kick in and it shut off all my appliances. I went through 3 UPS as in 2 years as their battery life degraded and it would trip all my appliances. I'm using an inverter for almost 3 years now with no issues. You just need to call them once a year to check on the battery and general maintenance. The inverter is setup in 'UPS' mode and only my TV, PS5/XSX & router is connected to it.

Man... I've been waiting for HDFC to sort their sh*t out... Currently only use the Amazon Pay ICICI card. Used to benefit a lot pre-pandemic times as I used it for all my international hotel bookings and spends when on business travels.
Will start using all the credit card hacks as soon has I get the HDFC Regalia and move on from there....

IPO ? Yes its an obvious yes. Long term ? Too early to decide.
I have now filled around 10+ ipo's and only got one lot in cams (where everyone got one lol )XD
Will give it a shot, number laga toh laga.

Anyone planning on subscribing to the Zomato IPO? They will be quite cash rich after the IPO. With Amazon not really gaining much traction, Swiggy is their only real competitor

Yeah, I bought some when the market completely thrashed the stock last year.
There wasn't much change in fundamentals and the stock price had limited downside.
But small quantity, nothing to get rich out of.
I think with EV, Tata can do a turnaround. Tata Elxsi is already filling patents on patents and Tata has already unveiled plans for 10 EV models, so they can carve out a budget space in this segment because not everyone can buy afford even a Tesla Model 3 in India.
I'm hoping it drops below 300 tomorrow or next week. Aiming for 290 to enter, and will add further if it continues to dip
-
What's the consensus on the Zomato IPO? 74-76 looks like a good entry point with higher chance of subscribing

Cx was on sale a few weeks ago on amazon , for about 1.25L. A local store was quoting 1.45L at the same time. Thats the cheapest I've seen it so far.
I think if it drops down to between 1.10 to 1.20L during the next sale , I'm gonna go for it. For the 65 inch , the max i would go up to is probably 1.6 - 1.7 or so , but highly doubt that its going to drop to that level
Getting a CX 65 at that price range is doubtful. Even if the C1 launches, I expect the CX65 price to hover around the 1.9-2.1 mark and C1 will be 2.7 (similar to launch price for the CX)
I was able to get a great deal from Girias. Bought my C9 55 at 1.18 effectively with all the cashbacks and freebies that the deal threw in. My overall purchases were 2lac+ as there were other appliances in there as well, and was able to leverage that to get a better price.

England would have won anyways. Man for man way better team than Denmark, especially the attackers. They focused on defense after that goal.
In penalties, I would have bet my money on Schmeichel over Pickford though... Even with the Danes not having prolific penalty takers, Schmeichel would have been the deciding factor imo.

Okay great. I.m looking at the 55 CX. CX 65 is out of my budget at 2.2L.
The BX 65 is on sale for 1.87 on amazon right now, and most reviews say there isnt too much difference between the BX and the CX, but i.ll probably for the CX 55 during a sale.
When compared to C9, the B9 had the older processes and a plastic stand. Don't know if its the same with CX vs BX

Out of curiosity , is anyone here using an OLED Tv with their next gen console ? And also , was there a noticeable difference between the ps4 and ps5 ( or series X ) on your 1080p display or was it the same experience on both consoles , barring an increase in fps.
I'm looking to upgrade from my 1080p tv. Considering an LG Oled or a new Mini LED TV from TCL called the C825. Only concern with the OLED.s is burn in , which almost everyone says is not an issue if you use it for varied content.
I'm using the LG C9 with by XSX & PS5. Burn-in with the new OLEDS is a not an issue, there are pixel shifting algorithms and 'logo illuminance' settings which mitigate it to a great extent. Unless you have the same image displayed on the screen for 8-9 hours daily, you don't need to worry about it.
I moved to a Sony 4K HDR TV with the PS4 Pro, and upgraded to the C9 in preparation for the HDMI 2.1 consoles. HDR on OLED is a different beast because of the black levels and contrast ratio, but my older Sony 4K FALD was also decent. If you are planning to upgrade though, would definitely recommend an OLED
1 hour ago, iam said:Half the next gen users are using OLED only. It's a treat. Go for it eyes closed if it fits the budget.
Just make sure that you're not overpaying and getting 3 years comprehensive warranty. If you're not, the wait for Dussehra, Diwali.
Don't pay more than 1.25L for 55 inch and 1.7-1.8L for 65 inch.
65 for 1.8L, which one? 65CX is still 2.2+ Once the C1 series launches, there might be a drop in price.

120fps is the way to go? Did you try other modes? Any major difference while playing?
Does feel snappier in 120fps. But I love the RT mode as well, the reflections add a bit more of depth to the environment imo.
Playing on XSX with the C9, its absolutely stunning... Who else here has it on the XSX? Would love to try the MP lobby sometime

I'm keeping an eye on Tata Motors, will pick up if it goes below 300 I think, my GTT was at 280, updated it to 299 so I get notified if it's fallingAnyone eyeing Tata Motors? Tough fall on the backdrop of JLR update but with EV play in future, the narrative is quite good

Again, you're missing the point. The hardware sales do not matter to MS. They will very well by in the 2x/3x in favour of Sony. MS want you to get into their ecosystem, and their consoles are only some of the vehicles to enable that, not the only ones. Many of my friends are considering getting the XSS, just to take advantage of GPU, friends who have been Sony only people or 2-3 generations and already own the PS4/5. That itself shows that their business model is working, it might not be as successful yet, but that's the roadmap.
