<![CDATA[Pokemon Scarlet & Violet Players Furious Over Lack Of Graphics Patches]]> Pokemon Scarlet & Violet turns a year old in November, and performance-wise, there isn't a lot to show for it. We mean in-game performance of course - sales-wise, it broke records. But for anyone hoping that patches would make the game prettier or at least more stable, it's been a disappointing first year.

There's no real limit unless the DM is uncomfortable with eight people wailing on two little goblins. Baldur's Gate 3 is different.

But modders aren't having any of that, as SildurFX has already removed the limit for the full-release version of the game.

So much so that when it was offered four years of continued access to all Activision Blizzard games (should its Microsoft merger go through), it turned it down in favour of ten years of just Call of Duty. PlayStation clearly believes that its players want the latest Call of Duty above all else, so it wouldn't be surprising to see the company get beta exclusivity once again.
