Yeah, I think this is just an oversight. It says X and S on the store page.

Yeah I just watched Skill Up’s video and then was surprised to see so many positive reviews on this roundup. What gives? Are folks so keen for more Dragon Age that they turn a blind eye to such deficiencies? Or is it just a difference of opinion.

In the UK they’re called ‘idents’. You can find a huge collection of UK ones here https://theident.gallery/

Yeah. The thing is that full retail price is hiked up, not the normal price. Side stepping the legislation designed to prevent this kind of behavior.

Not in every instance but for sure it does happen. Some of those ‘non member’ prices are so high as to be laughable.

I wish someone would take a look at ‘Clubcard Prices’ and ‘Nectar Prices’ etc. Ie discounts if you have the loyalty card.

I’m sure they’re just a way to circumvent trading standards legislation about needing to have been on sale at the higher price before starting a sale. Because it’s not a sale is a ‘club price’. The store can show a massive discount when it was never on sale at the undiscounted price anyway.

Yeah the PS5 controller is about the only innovative part of this console generation. The adaptive triggers and haptics are just great. I use one on the PC and for the games that support the extra features they really do add an extra dimension.

Remove from sale. Add more monetisation features. Rerelease as F2P. Cross fingers and hope for best.

Just saw this a few hours ago. If it wasn’t for this post I think I’d have forgotten about it already.

I guess it’s fine, just entirely unremarkable.

You could start with this People Make Games video from a couple of years ago. https://youtu.be/_gXlauRB1EQ?si=Ttg4-Bust1K-X-22

Surely most of the target audience for this game has already played it on another platform anyway. It’s been out since 2017.

Huh, I get not selling media any more, but surprised they’re not even going to sell consoles.

It thought those pledges were just for Activison / blizzard stuff. The Bethesda purchase was before regulators started taking an interest. The new Indiana Jones is an Xbox exclusive Bethesda game for example.

Awesome!

Was expecting this to be Xbox/PC exclusive but looks like it’s getting a PS5 release too.

The thing with serverless is you’re paying for iowait. In a regular server, like an EC2 or Fargate instance, when one thread is waiting for a reply from a disk or network operation the server can do something else. With serverless you only have one thread so you’re paying for this time even though it’s not actually using any CPU.

While you’re paying for that time you can bet that CPU thread is busy servicing some other customer and also charging them.

I like serverless for it’s general reliability, it’s one less thing to worry about, and it is cheap when you start out thanks to generous free tiers, at scale it’s a more complex answer as whether it is good value or not.
