Well, it's kind of addictive even if it's not fully released yet, DRG fan base is huge and devs are active; sale numbers are not surprising at all.

I'll launch that game back every time they add stuff to it.

Sucks because yeah, we're now used to being on Discord by default. Makes me miss the TeamSpeak/Ventrilo days.

Not surprised in the slightest.

Everything that isn't in line with Putin's point of view is at risk of being classified as terrorist or extremist, as simple as that.

Sucks but yeah, it was foreseeable.

I enjoyed both of my playthroughs of Temtem and I still boot the game up from time to time, trying to earn the missing achievements.

Congrats Crema for that colourful game and if Temtem 2 (or whatever it's gonna be called) ever comes out, it's a day-one purchase, guaranteed.

Not a big surprise to any gamer out there. It was even considered dead on arrival for a while.

Another Ubi game I'll gladly skip, the last one I've played being The Crew 2.

Don't leave his brother FreeCell out of this.

Entry-level? I use a Ryzen 5 5600G coupled with a RX6600XT and I play most of my games at 1440p/120fps no problem. For heavier titles, it hovers around 70-90fps.

A Ryzen 7 5700 would be more than entry-level though. Low-cost on an well-capable gaming AMD build? Hell yes.

Yup, approximately what I had in mind, under 15% of the original player base.

The grinding needed in D2 and D3 didn't feel as tiresome as it is in D4.

It might be that I'm becoming older, "grumpier" by the years and that I don't have the patience and time to grind correctly anymore.

Good, and it deserves it. I bought multiple copies over the years and sunk way more than 3000h in this game. Congrats Mojang/Microsoft.

First, you want to play on high/60fps but at what resolution? Paying over 1700$CAD for a RTX4090 GPU seems overkill while a RX6800 or a RX7700/7800 would let you play at 1080p/1440p at high settings at a fraction of the price.

SSD is fine.

PSU could be reduced to 850W.

64GB RAM is overkill for gaming right now but potentially useful in the upcoming years.

Bottom line, you could save here and there and still have a capable AM5 machine.

If you want value for your buck, build yourself an AM4 machine. Yes, AM5 is out now but your rig could still last you many many years with the right AM4 components.

I read the article more as; AMD is the one to currently offer sub-300$ (CAD) gaming-capable GPUs as opposed to the prices of the RTX 3060 and upwards. Hence the "Watch out AMD" as they could lose the only spot they have a grip on right now, low-to-mid level gaming-only GPUs.

I believe they know the market share AMD has is nowhere close to what Nvidia has.

I do too.

Brand new AM5 low-to-mid range complete gaming build for under 700$? Count me in.
