Video Game General 6.4: New Halo? What else?

Keanu Reeves in Cyberpunk 2077 is such a good move.

Man… I finally decided to stop procrastinating and decided to open up and clean my PS4. Suffice to say there was plenty of shit inside, which accumulated as a result of 4 years without such maintenance (and my cat constantly sleeping on top of it).

While it’s not DEAD silent in resource-intensive games like TW3 or PoE, the fan noise difference is most definitely noticeable, not to mention it’s good for system’s health in general. Unfortunately I’m not tech savvy enough to disassemble the thing completely to put a new layer of thermal paste onto the SOC (which is even more important than cleaning out the dust), but still - keeping the device helps to declutter the cooling system, which means better air flow, which means lower running temperatures/lower chance of overheating, whch means… you get the idea

All you need is two different screwdrivers, a piece of sloth, some q-tips, a can of compressed air, and roughly 20-30 minutes of your free time. Bonus points if you take off the shell parts (3 of them total) and water them off for further cleaning out.

Definitely recommended if the noise bothers you or if you suspect you owned it long enough for it to gather enough dirt inside

Just be careful to not lose/drop the screws, to not bother/disrupt the connection ribbons, and ESPECIALLY to not accidentally disconnect the PSU wires (I’d recommend unscrewing and taking it out because that’s how you get acces to the radiator just below the fan), otherwise you might be running into a big black plastic brick

I have this on my Switch. Its a cheap, fun, cute little over head game. Well worth the 5 bucks it costs.

Phil Spencer confirmed that Project Scarlett will have discs.

Yeah but like…games? It can have all the hardware, power, accessories and perks in the world but that doesn’t mean dick if none of the content they create is worth having.

So apparently Shenmue 3 is an Epic Gamestore exclusive. This is the second time I can recall PC backers getting fucked by this nonsense. No one backed the game for an Epic Store game key. WTF man.

yeah, its a strange move from the publishers. its one thing to give the backers what they backed for and put the regular purchasable version into the epic store for a year but when someone backed for a steam key he should get it or at least be able to decide which platform key he gets.

This the third time I recall this happening with a crowd funded game. This deflates the release of the game for me.

These idiots are going to sink kickstarted games that way. What’s the point of backing shit so they take it to a platform you disagree with?

That’s some whole new level of nonsense.

Because the backlash it didn’t have physical media would make their 2013 incident look like nothing.

You know what? Fuck Shenmue 3. No reason for that game to be on that shit store.

It honestly wouldn’t. Games are increasing become more digital. It wouldn’t surprise me if physical media gets faded out halfway into next gen.

I disagree. Xbox has been pushing Backward Compatibility hard for them to show up with a console with no disc drive would absurdly dumb.

The day I can’t find a next gen console with no Disc drive is the day I give up on consoles.
Especially how Nintendo pulled the plug on Wii and Wii U
