Thread: World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth datamining & spoiler thread
This could be useful as the game historically relied heavily on CPUs. Anyway, I so wish they would just remake it with a modern engine and action-like combat. I'd be all over it once again. Of course, it'll never happen.

Thread: Cyberpunk 2077 is still in a pre-alpha stage
To be clear, I wasn't implying any inside knowledge on the release date or anything like that. However, it is a fact that Cyberpunk 2077 being in Pre-Alpha state does not necessarily mean we'll have to wait more than two years to play it. As pointed out already, several games were in Alpha state only half a year before launch or so, not to mention that different studios use the Pre-Alpha, Alpha, Beta terms in very different ways. I think that the game will be out between late 2019 and the first half of 2020 at the latest, and it won't skip current generation consoles if they can help it. It wouldn't make any sense financially to do so.

Thread: Kingdom Come: Deliverance PC performance thread
Well, my impressions aren't nearly as bad some of those reviews I've seen. With an i7 6700K (stock clock) and 1080Ti (also not overclocked), I can play at 4K resolution with a mix of High/Very High/Ultra. I'd post a gameplay video, but it would be self-promotion.

Thread: H1Z1 Breaches 10 Million Players on PlayStation 4, New Update Introduces Revive Mechanics
Right, I expect PUBG on PlayStation 4 would shortly eclipse H1Z1 in popularity, though one has to account that PUBG has a $30 price tag while H1Z1 is free.

Yeah, too bad Ubi didn't add it on PC even though they said they'd do it on "all" platforms. Another of their games missing HDR on PC for some reason after Ghost Recon: Wildlands.

If the history is any indication user reviews aren't putting off anyone. Ark and then PUBG have sold a ton of digital units while constantly sitting at mixed.

Thread: Hunt: Showdown is now in Early Access. $29.99USD
I'm not saying the game doesn't have issues or shouldn't be improved. Of course that's true. My point was that user reviews don't seem to be a real deterrent when it comes to sales, as Ark and PUBG (and others) have proven. Hopefully, Crytek can do an even better job and use the sales revenue to refine the game a lot.

You could tune the difficulty all the way down, for the example, and AI is never going to be as competitive as online multiplayer anyway.

Indeed. Though some members of 2K Czech went on to found Warhorse Studios; I'm not sure how many of them worked on Top Spin 4.
