Control with ray tracing

oh my god

that game is the best selling point for ray tracing, it all just looks better

the lighting engine is good without it, but as someone pointed out, now you can catch enemies by spotting their reflection in the brutalist glass and lacquered wood halls and that is way more impressive than a colorfully lit scene a la tomb raider

prey is legit one of my favorite scifi horror games of the past 10 years, i love it and somehow people slept on it

(it's from arkane, the folks that did dishonored and deathloop)

Game pass is so good, at least give it a shot for a month. For me it's great because it's "free" so I'm far more willing to try games I wouldn't otherwise drop £ on.

I randomly grabbed Yakuza 0 because I was curious, not expecting much, and ended up burning through it, K1 and K2 in succession.

Also you get a good hit of classic Microsoft naming. I think they fixed it but at one point it was something like Microsoft Xbox Game Pass for PC.

speaking of game pass I just learned the install for Fallout new Vegas is 47gb vs the 9gb install off steam. apparently it has a separate install of the entire game for each language. how is Microsoft so bad at this poo poo

I bought a couple of games over the last couple of months, played them for 5 minutes, and then went back to playing mount and blade.

i also assembled a new PC a few days back and i'm mostly playing fe3h on my switch, which was the only reason i bought the drat thing to begin with.

i like fe3h a lot. it's so nice to have a wide cast of characters, none of whose existences revolve around the protagonist. also it's got that nice xcom thing where your characters' battle exploits build the player's emotional investment in said characters (and in-game said characters also deepen their relationship with people who they fight side-by-side with a lot).

it's basically persona but better. well, almost. it lacks persona's sense of immersion for whatever reason.

I like the fire emblem games they made for the GBA. All the other ones are just waifu/life simulators and they suck so much.
