This has to be the most egregiously misleading "RTX On / RTX Off" comparison I've ever seen in an official trailer.

Fun fact: No, Christopher Columbus did NOT think he landed in India.
He thought he landed on an Island near Japan.
They just called that entire region "the indies", back then. Hence why he called Native Americans "Indians".
It's also why the Caribbean is referred to as "the West Indies" today.

This guy really is amazing. Every video he makes, he finds new ways to be wrong.
Not wrong opinions, but wrong facts.
It's amazing how someone can get this many views on a video despite being so consistently wrong about everything.

Here are the 3 most recent negative reviews on Steam. They seem pretty legit to me.
In fact, you'd have to scroll through the recent negative reviews for a long time to try to find one of the troll reviews you're describing. I'm just not seeing them.

When the Steam user score is significantly LOWER than the Metacritic score, you know there's a problem with mainstream game reviewers.
Steam users are NOT hard to please. As long as you give them what's advertised, they generally give a positive score.

When it comes to VR, here goes....
1. field-of-view doesn't matter
2. resolution doesn't matter
3. headset weight is what matters
4. AR is just hype
5. I don't know what "XR" is and I don't want to
6. A headset without motion controls is pointless

Street Fighter 2 and Mortal Kombat have completely dominated videogames for almost 3 years, at this point.
