Gloomhaven is amazing on tabletop and on the PC. I feel like the PC version added a lot of great visuals to the game and made it feel more immersive, while also sticking to the original rules and game play. I’m not a console gamer, but if you are, I highly recommend it. Can be played solo or with friends.
Jaws of the Lion is definitely easier to get into. The organization is all done for you. Opening the Gloomhaven box is a vastly different experience. It’s like opening a box of Legos and wondering how the hell everything is going to go together. Literally had to go to a sporting goods store and buy fishing tackle boxes to organize everything!
Im always impressed by how well Yatzhee's format holds up. Over a decade later his reviews are still really funny, while also getting to the point. One of those og content creators that has aged really well imo.
Before this link was posted I didn't even know he was still around, I used to watch him like 15 years ago and it's pretty much the same as I remember it.
Well of course, he's a comedian. But it's still a subjective opinion on the game, like anyone else's opinion.
You don't want reviewers to see who is "right" and who is "wrong". You watch reviewers so you can find people with similar tastes as yours for educated judgment from someone who knows the genre like you do.
It feels like realizing that WhatsApp is a terrible Meta privacy nightmare, but you can’t wake up because you can’t convince your whole family to use Signal.
I’ve tried, but Signal is just too cumbersome to use. I sorely miss a web client and my family members sorely miss an Android tablet client. This makes it hard to recommend.
FSR2 splits the market the least since it can run on any GPU, unlike DLSS which wouldn't be able to run on the console versions (so they'd have to add and optimize for FSR2 anyway; extra work for little benefit).
Sure, you can, but if one technology is both "good enough" and "works on everything" I can understand why the developer might only bother with that one. Proprietary, vendor-locked standards leave a bad taste in my mouth.
I would like to at least see XeSS implemented in addition to FSR2, as it's another open standard. With any luck, pressure could be put on Nvidia to make DLSS vendor-agnostic as well, but they've proven over and over again that they really don't care about gamers.
As bad as the performance seems to be (30 FPS on current consoles?), I think they should offer DLSS, FSR 2, and Intel’s XeSS. Invite everyone to the table, they’re practically printing money already with preorders. Exclusivity is ridiculous.
you can use FSR on Nvidia too but you can't use DLSS on AMD. Nvidia has been trying so hard to force a monopoly for decades now with these features they lock down to not only their hardware but specific series of them.
it's reminiscent of Microsoft making sure Linux can't use a wide range of software via directx and such, forcing people to resort to WINE and effectively becoming an operating system monopoly outside of apples gated garden
meanwhile AMD let's everyone use their software tech and people cry foul the moment they do 1/1000th of the anti competitive behavior Nvidia does in its sleep, I mean this is literally just sponsoring a game
This usually means only FSR, no DLSS. What does it matter that FSR can be used on all hardware, if it's the inferior technology? Let those who can use DLSS, and others FSR and XeSS.
Since it's your mom-and-pop multi-billion dollar company, it's fine that they can screw over consumers. They are not like the evil multi-billion dollar company from down the road.
I'm not interested in spending my energy on hating the underdog who makes their tech open so everyone can use it and works with 1/10 games when the bigger corporation trying to make a monopoly is working with 9/10 games and forcing out the other. Nvidia goes and tries to force third party card makers to change their AMD branding and nobody says shit but the moment AMD even just sponsors a game (they can still add DLSS if they wanted!) and suddenly its a problem and AMD is "just as bad" as nvidia. no, fuck that. fuck "but but but superior technology!!1"
Do you have any proof to these claims? This link posted above shows otherwise. Granted this is not absolute proof but the stats show a different story to me.
yeah it seems the landscaped changed and some DLSS titles have FSR2 now but they all got it months after DLSS, so it's basically an exclusivity period it seems
the rest of the article is kinda crap, they even admit its all speculation lol
Blocking support for a superior technology, that almost half of all Steam Users can use, is truly what's best for gamers.
It would be one thing if you had to choose between FSR and DLSS (or XeSS), but these aren't mutually exclusive. You can actually add all three, quite shocking, I know.
but it's cool to say fuck the other half entirely for the other 99% of games? because FSR1 isn't comparable to FSR2 or DLSS and that's what happens when a game is sponsored by NVIDIA, they don't allow FSR2. but a game dev could still add DLSS to an FSR2 sponsored title, but why do free labour for NVIDIA?
Agreed. The net effect of this kind of choice - what the person above you is saying - is exactly the intended effect. It lowers the value of Nvidia users’ cards to them, but, critically, only because Nvidia plays these bullshit exclusivity games.
Nvidia users can’t get the most out of their cards on a big, popular new game and they’re all mad about it? Well, there’s an easy fix, Nvidia, to prevent these situations in the future: Just open DLSS up to everybody. Boom, done. AMD and Bethesda aren’t the ones being assholes, here, and it’s not their fault that Nvidia’s customers aren’t getting the most out of their cards.
