Is it a good idea to jump into PC with next gen around the corner? I'm thinking of investing in one because I'm sick of console gaming and because most of the games will be on PC.
Thinking of going for this one.

I wonder if Ubisoft disbanded the primary Montreal team after Unity? Maybe they divided them into the other teams? Guess they're working on the 2020 Rome game? Add Odyssey to the Quebec team and extended the x axis to 2018 and this graph is up to date:
I heard the comedy in this is good.
Yes, PC gaming is great. Just buy a console when there are enough exclusives that convince you to get one.
Damn, bro. Do you need to go that hard on your first PC? I think it would be safer to get something modest but upgradeble. Still leave something left over in the event the next gen systems interest you. PC+Console is the best combo and I think it will be the same next gen too.
I also get the feeling that there will be a some third party exclusives on the Sony system. A Fromsoft exclusive on day one will almost seal the deal for most people and Sony would be dumb not to try and make something like that happen.
8GB RAM and a 250 GB SSD is pretty measly for a PC that costs 2000€.
You're most likely going to get a much better deal buying individual parts

Resonance of Fate got another update.(1.0.0.4) Japanese patch notes only atm.
Seems to fix infinite loading and sound problems that were effecting some people.

I suspect the "Assassin's Creed Japan" question addressed in one of the Ask a Spartan ads for Odyssey is a tease and Feudal Japan is where the series is going next. A completely new setting would also explain why the main Montreal team has been given so much time.
As refreshing as an Asian setting would be, what I really want is a return to Renaissance Italy with current-gen tech. But that's never going to happen. :(
Nom nom nom. More VN's for Steam! \o/
Hopefully it reaches whatever sales metric is needed so Steam can properly "learn" about it lol.
Playing some CoD: Infinite Warfare
Digging it though sometimes the levels feel to narrow. Maybe I'm used to more mobility in scifi FPS thanks to Titanfall 2 and Apex Legends but this game feels kinda heavy even with jetpacks and wallrunning. No wonder no one liked sci fi CoD when it feels like stomping compared to Titanfall.

Run it by the folks in https://www.resetera.com/threads/the-pc-builders-thread-i-need-a-new-pc-v2.61531/ They are always super helpful and usually have tons of various builds people are playing with to give you a feel for what you need.
From a quick glance, it looks like a pretty unbalanced and pricy build for what you're getting. 9900k seems way overkill compared to the rest of the build.
I always find that "steam is learning about this game" sounds really weird lol.
A new week, many new names bringing us the 'it's just another launcher' message.
That RAM is terrible. Single Channel (1 module) and slow (you want 3000-3200MHz). I also don't trust cases that have a glass front with giving me good airflow, that radiator on the back is weird too but I haven't seen a review of it.
If you're going to get into PC gaming, then do it right: avoid pre-built systems. Not only is it cheaper, but if something goes wrong, you'll have an idea of how to pinpoint the issue.
Watch Youtube channels like Linus Tech Tips for instructional videos, and visit PcPartPicker to scope out a build which will best suit your needs or to see which parts are compatible with one another.
Building your own PC is half the fun and not nearly as intimidating as it may initially seem.
I like the Steam user reviews for Metro: Exodus. Positive reviews, but also gives the "keyboard emoji" of someone giving the Epic Store the 2 fingers.
Imagine the Ezio trilogy remade with the level of detail presented in Unity. Insane! I'm skeptical that the original Montreal team still exists. There's been nothing from them. We know that Ashraf Ismail's team (Montreal 3 in that chart) is working on something as they've been on a hiring frenzy lately.
Leaks that have been doing the rounds indicate that a 2020 game (AC:Legion) from UbiSofia and Singapore set in Rome will complete the "Ancient" trilogy with the protagonist being related to Bayek. Other, less believable leaks indicate a 2021-2022 next gen title with two themes, Asia and Norse Mythology. Ubi is playing around with multiple areas like in Far Cry New Dawn, but I'm not sure they could pull off two distinct areas in one game. The resources needed for that would be monumental.
Only jschreier knows what the truth is, wish he would drop that article. :P I'm doubtful they'll ever touch Japan, even though it has been hinted like you said and also in the GameInformer interview with AC:Odyssey's lead.
I think it's not a bad idea to start with a pre-built. Should be decent of course. Maybe go for one a little cheaper, set money aside for upgrades and then dig into it yourself, replace parts. That's how I learned myself. Of course resources like YT weren't available in the 90s, everything was reading manuals, PC magazines and trial & error. Still there are good arguments for not starting from scratch.
I would consider that adequate recompense for PC players, who, to this day, still have to put up with a broken LOD system in 2. ;)
Yeah.

Damn lol
That save feature would have saved me loads on the tank missions in CoD1 -.-
Technical question.
Since VN's don't have a V-sync option they tend to render 100's of frames above my TV's 60hz limit. ... What happens to all those frames that can't fit in the 60hz window?
Interestingly, I hooked a VN with RTSS to cap it at 60 and my GPU usage went down, but my CPU usage went way up. o_o

Seems like it also lets you customize the in-game speed multiplier, which is always neat.
If a game really doesn't have a VSync option (could be enabled by default) all those frames will be rendered, resulting in higher temps and coil whine (usually happening when way over 100fps and extremely annoying beyond 200-300, see/hear also loading screens in normal games).

I actually redeemed it and The Phantom Pain without VPN. I don't know if the code is worldwide, but at least here in South America it worked
Bundlefests always have a pretty good opening, I wouldn't worry. Fanatical is still the GOAT bundle site.
Odds on me posting that "not like this..." gif?
BTW, does anyone know if that gif has been used in any Switch threads? Because that'd be funny...
Yessss. I know it's not supposed to be as good as Kiwami 2 but hell, it's still Yakuza and better than most other games right now.
I hope they plan to bring the rest of the Yakuza games. I could play on PS4, but I'd rather play on PC obviously.
After Kiwami I'll just wait for awhile and see what happens. It would be nice to know either way.

Oh that's cool.
Just keep your exceptions low and recommend any to friends who are starting to get into Steam.
Or just wait for us to generously offer the spare keys we get from buying the bundles ourselves :V
I would advise against buying an expensive system right now if money is at all an issue. Buy something modest to get your feet wet and go for a good upgrade one year into the next generation. That should ensure the longevity of your system across the next console generation. The build you linked is quite unbalanced for reasons others have already explained.
SprachBrooks Ask in the PC building thread, but honestly, unless you need 4k gaming for some reason, I'd recommend a 1070 card, hell even RTX 2060/2070 if you're feeling fancy. That build you posted seems waaaay overpriced my dude.
