Take my money! Now!

I'm something like 70 hours in (probably counting lots of idle time because it feels like there's a good bit of story left) and I don't really regret getting it, has good story beats and trims down some of the garbage from other games but it's not the sexiest time period to roam through either. The added river raids seem to give an interesting detour to play with or endgame to pursue.Some decent PS Store sales going on right now, including FIFA21 for 75% off.
Anyone play Assassin's Creed Valhalla yet? Played about 90 hours of Odyssey but haven't heard great things about Valhalla so not sure I want to pull the trigger, even at 35% off. I have Origins and Black Flag in my Library if I ever need an AC fix.

Sadly this game will be just as broken as Madden, just with College teams and playbooks. They need to fix the core of the game. I’m pretty much at the point where I’m boycotting all EA Sports games.
They’re the epitome of selling their “soul” For profit margins. They don’t care if they’re putting out garbage every year.EA is the devil of the gaming world. And honestly why should they care. With their licenses, they know they will make pretty much the same amount of money by selling their roster updates year after year.
Are you implying that they have actually pushed the tech as far as it can go?EA does the same thing as a lot of golf equipment manufacturers. Once the tech is pushed as far as it can go you have to find a way to sell people new clubs/balls every year in order to maintain the revenue stream, so you put on a new coat of paint, come up with a new model/branding campaign, and invent a few little bullshit tech "improvements" that you'll amplify as gamechanging. But in reality almost nobody will notice the difference.

The NHL series hasn't let you manually stickhandle and move your feet at the same time since 2007.
Very nice! Yes, the only way to grab a RTX card these days is to get an upper-end prebuilt, and even those sometimes come with a wait. Agreed that the RTC 3080 is undoubtedly the one you want right now. AMD made great strides with their horsepower in the 6000-series cards, but the lack of second-gen ray tracing and DLSS 2.0 is a real difference maker this generation. It's still nVidia, if only by a nose. I have no doubt that AMD will make up ground fast, though. Within a couple of years, here's to hoping there's genuine GPU competition.
I've used CyberPowerPC in the past, and while you lose the ability to choose certain things (e.g. the model and brand of your GPU, for instance), I found that 7700K system to be rock solid. it gave me no problems.
It's pretty horrific for a huge panoply of industries right now, not just the boutique gaming market. It looks like this silicon shortage is finally prompting the USG to fund spend the necessary dollars to build up superconductor manufacturing in the Southwest. All of Intel, AMD and nVidia look to be preparing to build manufacturing facilities in Arizona or thereabouts in the next five years. It should help a lot. So many industries being beholden to TSMC in Taipei right now, plus Samsung to a lesser degree, is crazy and untenable.
Let me know what brand of 3080 they put into your PC. I'm interested. The Zotac 1080 I'm using right now as a temporary card in my Ryzen was actually from a CyberPowerPC system that I bought from them, the brand not of my choosing. I ordinarily would go with one of the more prominent manufacturers that I trust more. It's been a good card, though.
The Gigabyte RTX 2080 Super OC is one that I picked out myself, color matches in an all-white build, and has been all I'd wanted.
It sounds from reviews that the 3080s do not vary much, from one to another, in terms of performance. The differences are in power consumption. Not really a lot of overclocking headroom there either. Just buy whichever one you can find is what they were saying already in September/October, much less today.
Let me know how much random bloatware comes installed on your pre-built machine. I can't stand how much is on my HP laptop, and it's partially why I've preferred to stay away from pre-built systems as much as possible.
The RAM shortage is certainly a contributing factor to the high GPU prices, but so are bots and scalpers on the demand side. Cryptominers and other scalpers scooping up any supply as soon as it appears, before gamers or other consumers can get their hands on it. The supply chain is being hammered from both sides on this one.
