I do if a new game is coming out in say a week or so. Say X game is coming out in 3 days. Do I have enough time to beat this game as I will drop this game when X game comes out.

Ive got the rtx 2070, spent like 480 for it id like to upgrade but I'm prob gonna wait for some price drops before getting into 3000 series, 2-3 years probably

Yeah, if you have a 2070 already you won't miss out waiting a few more years before upgrading. It'll take a while for games to catch up, especially when game developers NEVER target the most powerful hardware when developing a title. They develop what they think the average PC can reliably run because making a game that'll only work on a PC you spent $700 on a GPU alone for is a great way to limit your sales.

You are not mentioning key information. There is a reason why, PCs have settings in game to change the graphics quality to gain all levels of the spectrum from lower range GPUs to higher-end.

I guess I am one of those "suckers" who bought a 2080 Ti. However, I could care less if I lost some money over the 2 years. I wanted the better experience gaming. That is the difference between myself and a lot of you. Your focus is on the dollar and my focus is on the experience. I will be picking up the 3090 and placing the 2080 Ti (once I put the fans back on as it is water cooled) in my wife's PC.

Greed

A lot of companies like boasting about making billions from their microtransactions and lootboxes.

CEO's get millions in bonusses each year while low level developers get layed off upon completion of a game or if the game wasn't succesful enough (or hell, even when it was succesful enough).

This industry is really unethical and driven purely by capitalism.

Didn't you know they made these games for us all to feel good...not to make money.

@Diddies: Please don't jinx it. And as far as the game that's your opinion.

I liked the gunplay in the game though, from what I could see. They're always doing what they can to make them sound like weapons in real life. Is there zombie mode? Or does Activision still have the rights to it with Black Ops?

Don't jinx what? I am a Trump supporter so I don't think I will jinx it as he will win the next election. The democrats are just too nutty right now that is running. I do not see one good "popular" (that has a chance) candidate. They are wanting to take more of my money out of my hands that I work hard for. We have seen how well the government uses/spends their money and I would want to decide what happens to the money that I earn instead of it being spent on stupid things at ridiculously high prices lining politicians pockets.

Back to the game...it seems that this is a very popular COD and it is going back to actually make a game that is good. I actually was not a fan much of Black Ops or any of the others, but I did play them a little. The modern warfare was always their good games to me...in my opinion...and it seems they went back to this and made a good game again which I believe is better than any of their previous campaigns. It also seems that this is paying off for them as well as I haven't seen a COD game this much talked about in a long time which is probably generating more sales than usual.

It is a good game. Pick it up. The campaign is actually really good.

@jeezers: Sorry for the wait. So to break down the atrocities I saw...Arguably cherry-picked by the YouTube poster out of others, there's:

- A mission where this terrorist key guy shoots a kid that attempts to run away

- A flashback mission where you're a kid in rubble, with your dead mother a couple feet away from you

- After Kid Farah (adult-wise she's one of the main characters) is taken away by her father, she/you reach home where a guy with an AK breaks in and kills daddy. It turns into a cat and mouse mini game where you have a screwdriver, evade him, then eventually shoot him from behind with his own gun. Prior you stab the dude in both legs with the hardware.

- Notice how so far these involve children.

- Fast forward to the present, Adult Farah is held prisoner by Russians. The general interrogates you, kills your brother, and proceeds to water torture you if you say nothing. It doesn't happen but there's a brief hint of rape.

- After that, you end up killing the general (Barkov) with an army knife sometime after escaping, in both sides of his neck.

- And the gameplay video ends with you storming up to a building balcony where this poor dude has a time bomb strapped on him...not one of the terrorists. He's crying desperately as you see the timer at six seconds, and you push him off before he blows you all up. Only upside to that scene was there were other hostages that were saved.

I don't know it was only days ago I saw it but now I think it's yawn factor. More shock value style campaign to give the players more than one Warning labeled mission, because it's about topping what was done before. @Black_Knight_00 has a point.

Stick to the multiplayer. Campaign is no better than CoD as I remembered it - which was still really bad quality.

I actually think this is one of the best COD campaigns yet. I actually though it was pretty amazing. It showed that war could be damaging and personal. Also, I do not understand how republicans have anything to do with this COD game. It seems that you hate republicans and will have to face another 4 years of them in office...at least!

@BassMan: Curious...do you have to change your GPU back to default on some games? I have had some games continuously crash, freeze, stutter on some overclocking. However, this is just a few of them. I just didn't know if I was pushing my GPU too far as it seems that I have done some not too extreme overclocks. Also, this GPU never gets above 50 degrees even with the overclocks as it is even running on two 480mm radiators to cool it with a push/pull configuration.

I don't understand the hype of Switch. I have one and literally has been a paper weight for the last year. My kids play it...sometimes. They prefer playing games on PC in each office against each other instead of on the TV such as Mario Kart.

@Diddies: That's mostly with mods though. The improvement from those screenshots is also pretty minor. With new consoles they should have no issues running that at 4k 60 although I'm sure a capable PC will eventually go beyond that.

Of course mods can make it better which is where PC really shines, but the difference between my PS4 and my PC of vanilla GTAV is still a significant difference.

So we get a early look at the PS5/ Scarlett versions.

Not really. If we look at GTAV on PS4 and Xbox One, the PC version still looks better even though this was released on previous gen.
