I'd Like To See Much Older Games Be The Focus Of Remasters

We are certainly seeing a few older titles get a touch-up, but we're also seeing quite a few that aren't exactly suffering in the graphics and performance departments. If devs are going to remake or remaster games, I'd much rather see them bring back to life games that are decades-old, as opposed to titles that are still pretty fresh in my memory. I was glad to see games like?Horizon: Zero Dawn?brought back to us, but I could've easily picked up the original and not felt like it was outdated.?

What Are You Playing This Weekend? (December 20)

My wife just got?Hogwarts Legacy?on sale, so it's been a great excuse to jump back into that adventure right there alongside her. Although, when I'm feeling competitive, I go right for?Marvel Rivals, which continues to impress me. What's on the cards for your second-last gaming weekend of 2024?

Fortnite Battle Stars Were a More Exciting Way to Unlock the Battle Pass and Should Come Back

Fortnite?removed the Battle Stars Level Up system from?Fortnite. Now, leveling up means players get to unlock a Battle Pass reward. Even though it simplifies how the Battle Pass works, it's not as fun. Before, each type of reward would be worth a certain number of Battle Stars and it felt fair to only spend 2 Battle Stars to get an emoticon but 8 Battle Stars to unlock a skin. Since you have to level up a full account level to unlock a reward each time, it doesn't feel worth the cost when you spend it on smaller rewards, such as sprays and emoticons.

When Does A Game Have Too Much AI Involvement?

I am very averse to the use of AI, especially if it is used to spread misinformation or used to replace what could have been someone's job (and, of course, any so-called "creative" uses of AI in arts and culture spaces). But I don't mind AI when it's used in smart ways, or as an additional tool for creators to use in the conceptualization process, and I have strong doubts that Elon's idea to start a studio that's completely dependent on AI will create anything unique or industry-defining.?

Do You Have Any Tips For First-Time PC Builds In 2024?

A common mistake a lot of first time PC builders make is not taking the size of their parts into account. It's important to check the exact size and dimensions of your parts before committing to a build, and check that there aren't any compatibility issues between your parts too. There are a few sites that let you simulate a build to find these issues, but some don't take real-life size and positioning into account. It doesn't matter how good your GPU is if it doesn't fit into your case, or doesn't work with your motherboard.

If You Could Change One Thing About Your PC, What Would It Be?

I would really like to set up a liquid cooling system for my PC one day, my current setup will get a bit hot after a few hours of gaming and it would be really nice to not have to worry about that as much. But I'm worried about leaks and how catastrophic that could be for my setup – as low of a chance as it might be, It's still a risk that I'm going to have to think hard about and make sure to keep up maintenance when I do eventually get a liquid cooling system.

What's More Important For Budget PC Builds: High FPS Or Image Quality?

If you're making your first step into the custom desktop PC market, whether you're used to playing on laptops or new to gaming in general, being able to run games at a higher framerate can be mind-blowing. When I got my first proper gaming PC and launched?Dark Souls 3?for the first time on the new setup, I was in absolute?awe?that I could run it at 60 FPS with the setup I had, even if I could only run it at 720p. But at the time it still looked and felt great to play because of the higher framerate, and it really impressed me when I made the jump from laptop to desktop PC gamer.

What's The Most Youve Ever Spent On A PC Upgrade?

I'm about to buy an AMD 6900 xt for a big upgrade to my current PC setup that will hopefully last a few years, and in terms of the individual things I've purchased, this GPU will certainly be the most expensive thing in my case at about $450 used. Hopefully it remains a good graphics card for a few generations so I won't have to worry about another upgrade for a few years.
