Z4rK, do games w Starfield Premium Upgrade has actually made the Top Ten in the UK physical charts. It’s at No.7.

Is there any other real benefits except early access?

conciselyverbose,

It says it includes a story expansion. Obviously it will be available for purchase separately but I doubt it will be less than $30.

I almost wish I'd just bought that to be playing now. I'm waiting for the "release", though.

I think most people that cared about the game could hand over $30 more for “early access”, will full release push the needle that much? I don’t know, don’t think so.

Dettweiler42,

Copies of the Premium edition were included with a lot of graphics card sales, and there’s been a lot of upgrading going in with some card prices coming down. It could be a significant factor.

Naz,

That’s exactly how I got my copy. The highest tier AMD GPU (7900 XTX, 24 GB) dropped to $800 on Amazon sometime in July, performing about 95% as fast as an RTX 4090 in most titles, which cost $1600-1900 (10% sales tax), and outperforms or matches the 4090’s performance in Starfield.

I’m getting 108 FPS on 4K Ultra outdoors, and 128 FPS indoors, with Resolution Scale at 100% and FSR disabled.

Best impulse purchase of the year.

Renacles,

It’s going to be on game pass day 1. Why would I pay full price + 30 more to play 5 days early?

NuPNuA,

If you’re on gamepass you only pay the 30 extra not full price. I didn’t either but was tempted.

Because you don’t want to be left behind or because neurotransmitters are already going pog just thinking about the game and you need your fix.

FullFridge, do games w Final Fantasy XVI producer announces PC version is in development, along with 2 paid DLCs

Wonder what the dlc will be about?

I have a few ideas but don’t want to put spoilers here.

If this is a continuation of the main story then I don’t mind but if this is just content placed in the middle of the story like FF 15 then I don’t know why I keep buying games on launch just to get a partially complete experience.

Let’s hope the difficulty of this dlc is also higher. I felt like in the main game Clive melted any non boss enemies after the halfway point of the game

Neat, I think we all know it’s not really in development as much as waiting for a date written on a contract. But more people having access to games is good

csolisr, do games w Final Fantasy XVI producer announces PC version is in development, along with 2 paid DLCs

I’ve been avoiding spoilers for FF XVI precisely waiting for this announcement. Hopefully they don’t pull the same shenanigans as last time and release it on Epic Games only.

Boiglenoight,

I was merely procrastinating but yeah, now with it coming to PC I’m going to be dodging spoilers like bullets in the Matrix.

    FF16 is one of the few FF games that isn’t open world. Actually one of the most on-rails linear games I’ve ever played. I almost find it mind-numbingly straightforward.

    It’s more open than 13, and while you can move about some largish areas at will, the game’s quests push you to certain locations. You don’t do a lot of self exploration, and there aren’t a ton of icons on the map to clear out.

    It’s a story first game.

    Different strokes for different folks.

    FF15 was big and open (for a while), but to me that was super boring.

    HellAwaits,

    I could give it a try in the future, but open world games always end up disappointing me.

    Don’t know what you heard, but FFXV isn’t open world. Maybe try it for yourself and don’t rely on the word of idiots that obviously have never played the game?

    As to be expected. There will probably also be an xbox version eventually.

    Awesome! Any eta for that?

    Sadly no ETA was given.

    Hope the pc version runs well. Watching my partner play in 30fps looked painful.

    EeeDawg101,

    There’s a performance mode. It’s not a solid 60 except during combat, then it’s solid 60. But even with the drops during exploration it’s better than 30 imo.

    Soulyezer,

    Honestly 30 with reduced motion blur was better imo, 60 with fps drops and resolution drops to 720p on a 4K TV is just not nice

    zachary3752,

    Definitely agree with this. Locked 30fps mode with motion blur set to 2/5 was the ideal way to play this game. Performance mode was far too unstable and blurry especially on a larger TV. Digital Foundry also suggested just locking it to 30 and not switching back and forth. Your eyes do eventually adjust.

    I wish the performance mode was better, but it seems pretty clear that 30fps was the performance target.

    eendjes,
    @eendjes@feddit.nl avatar

    Yes but that mode made everything look like mush. And worked rather poorly outside combat.

    EeeDawg101,

    I bounced between the performance mode and the graphics mode and finally after 50 of playing I’m confident that I’m happiest with performance mode. The downgrade in graphics isn’t that bad IMO and I’m on a 55inch 4k tv that I don’t sit very far from. The smooth combat is just sooo much nicer for me. I do hope they can refine the perf mode with future updates though.

    Pistcow, do games w New employee retention rate in Japan is 70%. Nintendo’s is 98.8%. Brand strength, the smaller number of new hires, and a strong employee welfare program a few reasons given

    I interviewed with the Pokémon Company recently, and their benefits were the absolute #1 I’ve seen of any enterprise level company. If I get the gig I doubt I’d ever leave. I mean, these are CEO level benefit packages for mid-level (minus the goofball CEO golden parachute).

    Could you share some? I’d be interested to see how they stack up to eg Google, ms or any of the other large tech companies.

    Pistcow,

    $1 to $1 401k match to max IRS, no vesting period. The highest I’ve ever seen was 10% match.

    $0 insurance for individual 90% covered for family.

    20 days starting annual pto.

    Bonus schedule.

    Some other stuff.

    The tech companies do back ended vesting periods to own you for 4 years.

    kboy101222,

    Gawd dayum those are amazing benefits. Even the cushy government job I interviewed for didn’t have benefits that good

    Pistcow,

    This was for a contract worker, too, that could extend or convert after 12 months.

    Firipu,
    @Firipu@startrek.website avatar

    Decent stuff. From an EU pov, pretty standard though. Aside from the vesting period. That’s pretty sweet.

    Pistcow,

    F-35’s or maternity leave, you don’t get both…Yeah, lot of the EU has it right.

    Urbanfox,

    You can get as good as that as standard in the UK.

    I get 36 days PTO, the legal minimum is 28 days. 25% bonus. Pension contribution, I pay 4%, company pays 8%. Health insurance included, but the NHS will cover most stuff.

    This isn’t even a senior level position, it’s bottom level. Seniors get way more.

    Crash remake sold great too, but not the Crash 4. It feels like people ony really wanted to briefly relive the “good old days” and checked out after playing some of the N. Sane trilogy.

    Considering the only okay remake of Spyro 3, I think they knew exactly where the limits of cashing in on nostalgia was.

    Really great remake.

    Also, fuck Activision.

    This should be a good thing, but Activision killed Toys for Bob. It’s a shame we’ll never see a Spyro sequel.

    They killed Vicarious Visions - Toys for Bob still exists last I checked

    simple,

    They’ve been downscaled and relegated to supporting Call of Duty development, so they’re effectively dead.

    pulaskiwasright,

    Vicarious Visions is Blizzard Albany now.

    I can’t believe all those things in Update 2.0 haven’t been patched in already. It’s almost been THREE FRICKIN’ YEARS since launch and they’re still not done fixing essential stuff.
