It certainly doesn't outperform 80 and 90 series cards. The 70 series cards have always been performant budget oriented cards, not the top end but pretty good performance for the cost. 4070 and ti are not that.

Man, 4070ti (a midrange card) is almost a thousand. 4090 is two thousand

This is a lot more prone to scratches. It's like the first foldable from Huawei, very pretty but too expensive just to be damaged by looking at it funny

Isn't it gonna get scratched by just being in the pocket? One segment is not protected at all.

What if the player has a bad internet connection? Will the textures be blurry? Idiotism of biblical proportions.

Did you already forget the shit Facebook keeps doing? Repeatedly.

I think they are the game as the developers can base their game around them (remember battlefront 2?) It's a paid game, 70 dollars no less, and I'm sorry, but there is no justification for microtransactions.

How come Baldur's Gate 3 can be without microtransactions for example? It's greed pure and simple. If they didn't want you to buy them, and there weren't people putting in ridiculous amounts of money in them they wouldn't put them in.

Oh I'm sorry, I guess I should be grateful that a 70 dollar unoptimized game from a multi-million dollar company has microtransactions. I don't care what mental gymnastics you come up with, they have no place in paid games.

I think the whole game should be reviewed and that includes the microtransactions. There's a reason they add them after the reviews are in because they know people don't like to be nickel and dimed in a game that costs 60 to 70 fucking dollars.

Okay Tim Cook

Problem is these aren't great games but cash grabs with day one dlcs and micro transactions. And they keep asking for more.

Have you seen the state of AAA gaming right now? And Bethesda's past record? I would be surprised if it didn't turn out to be shit.
