Servers are banjoed on pc for 1-3, think XBox as well for 3. You can still play pve offline though.

Remote exploit publicised that opens your pc to a third party - guy who discovered it claims he informed bandai months back but no one was arsed. So he crashed a popular ds3 streamer to publicise it. Concern is that a lot of the DS3 netcode will underpin Elden Ring so needs sorting.

Thankfully Sekiro is strictly PvE - though I am worried for Elden Ring!
 
Did anyone else feel the Halo Infinite campaign was boring?

I don’t think it was terrible by any means , the main mission level design and objectives were very copy and paste. It felt like i was doing the same objective for most of the missions. The lack of variety in that spoilt it for me.

Just got a nice deal on a Corsair 850W PSU. £75 from Scan. (link if anyone is interested: Corsair TX 850M PSU)

It will be a nice upgrade to my Corsair TX 550M. I've never changed a PSU so I've gone for the exact same model, just with 300W more output, so it should be relatively straight forward. I've got my eye on an i7-10700K but what I really want is the i9-10900K. I can't really justify £300+ on a CPU that's 2 gens outdated though, nor would it represent good value.

Good deal, though I can't imagine what you'd have to have in your rig to need 850W in an era where SLI and Crossfire are dying. I suppose if you were overclocking that i9 and a 3090 you might need it.

Definitely a good move if you have a late model graphics card, though. I have a TX 550M, and it's a great PSU in every way, but it's also nowhere near enough juice for 3080/3090.

Out if interest, what are they selling for there? (in a specific spec)

It’s mainly Amazon resellers around the £1100-£1300 mark, which is ridiculous. Ebuyer are selling them for around the same price paired with a motherboard.

I’ve got a 3070 so I always thought the 550W was a little on the light side. I definitely don’t need 850W but it was too good a deal and similarly priced with 600-700W products. Like you say I’ve had no issues with my PSU so I’m more than happy to have the same model again.

My plan is to swap the 3070 for a 3080 if I can find one for less than £800, as I can sell my 3070 for around the same price.

Yep, just had a quick look on UAE Amazon (sometimes items are cheap here) and the price range is similar.

Yeah, I got lucky and built right before everything went sideways, which meant I was able to build a PC with a 2070 Super in it for a few bucks more than the card itself costs now. Upgrading is not worth.

Any series like Halo that has a lack of variety in storytelling to begin with should never surpass 3 games. By Halo 4 they were milking it. New IP please and thank you

I wasn’t really talking about the story telling aspect mate, I meant the mission objectives themselves which are very copy and paste. I was bored by the end of the game.

There is only so much you can do with that setting is my main point. They have already established all the gameplay, lore, vehicles, etc. and changing anything will end up a flop like Halo Reach. It will all feel copy and pasted as a result.
