The big 3 is scamming you. Nintendo increased prices of their consoles. Sony increased prices of their consoles. Microsoft increased prices of their consoles. Know who hasn't? The Steam Deck is now on sale for $319.20.

Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds is a chaotic item-based racing game...AND I LOVE IT! Here is the game running on my PC with a Radeon RX9070 at 150% of 4K. That's 5730x3240...running at a buttery smooth 60fps! High settings! #sega #SonicRacingCrossWorlds

So let's recap. This jackass got on stage to trash Call Of Duty and promote his Call Of Duty clone game all the while, his Call Of Duty clone game is on the Call Of Duty developers subscription service. You can't make this shit up! #callofduty #Xbox #SummerGameFest #xboxgamepass

So I put this on hold for a bit after getting stuck on the first boss, finally managed to beat it. So far not too big on the city building, that kinda gameplay has never been my thing. But the sidescrolling gameplay is great stuff along with the music! Might be in my top 5 SNES soundtracks.

Daytona USA was one of the first three Sega Saturn games that I played. The courses and handling are perfectly replicated... just with an awful framerate & draw distance. Seriously, I was able to clear the arcade game just off of my experience with this pitiable port. #retrogaming

Imagine, if you will, paying top dollar for gaming consoles with specs that was outdated BEFORE their launch in 2020 and STILL can't get 60fps is crazy!

As a 'look', no one did it quite like Psygnosis and I don't really remember anyone over the last 30 years using their style. You could probably kickstart a modern Psygnosisalike in 12 seconds flat.

Do you think Retro car racing games are superior in terms of enjoyment over modern racing games? Has the genre gotten worse over time despite the realistic graphics and focus on simulators?

Somebody on reddit got a RX9070 and minutes after installing it, ran Furmark. Minutes after that, he killed it. WHY?!? So he can get 2 extra more frames than anyone else?!? So fucking stupid! GPU's are exspensive as fuck now! PC GAMERS! I REPEAT! STOP PLAYING BENCHMARKS! START PLAYING GAMES!
