Look, it may not run well, but you need to go back and take another look at PS3 games. If I wanted to say a new game looks like a PS3 game, I’d pick Earth Defense Force, not Monster Hunter (unless you mean Monster Hunter Rise).
It looks like a PS3 game with post processing or ReShade. The texture quality is actually sometimes worse than a PS3 game.
Looking at games like Demons Souls, Batman Arkham City, MGS 4 + V, NieR 2010, etc, Wilds does not look like much of an improvement. And some of those games released early in the life of the PS3, so they werent even using the maximum capabilities of the hardware. Sure, Wilds has SSAO and RayTracing (if your GPU can even handle running that at an acceptable framerate), but if you turn those effects off to get better performance the game looks like a PS3 game. And by better I mean you go from like 40fps to 55fps, with Frame Gen disabled.
The game is an unoptimized mess and it does not provide a graphical improvement to explain the bad performance. Its not like Cyberpunk 2077, with hundreds of NPCs or something. There like, 20 dudes in a box canyon village tanking your fps down to sub-30fps.
I cannot meet you on this. Seriously, put Meryl from MGS4 next to Monster Hunter Wilds Lady; it’s night and day. And Monster Hunter is operating at a scale that MGS4 cannot. MGS4, of course, also has performance problems trying to push what it did on that hardware.
Regarding the comparison to World, what I have said in the past is that while Wilds does look better, it doesn’t look nearly enough better to justify just how much worse it performs.
I don’t think any amount of achievable retirement savings is enough to give me confidence that I could cover escalating health care costs enough that I could retire. Even if I had $10M in the bank, I would worry that the cost of health care will rise fast enough to impoverish me.
If you make it to Medicare age, it gets a lot less stressful. eg: my folks have had 4 knees replaced with very little out-of-pocket cost. There’s still supplemental insurance, but Medicare, not the profit-driven insurance company, determines what gets covered, and they mostly listen to doctors. There’s always edge cases, where some treatment might not be covered, but I feel like those are uncommon.
One way or the other, my ultimate health care plan is 9mm.
Maybe in our lifetime we will see an expansion of Medicare to be a single payer system for all Americans as a publicly available option (ie: the minimum standards other insurance would need to meet to be competitive).
That would be nice. Idk I’m just hopeful in like 25 years we may see some real change ushered in when it comes to that. Probably very naively hopeful but I have to at least occasionally believe in a better future.
I get more pessimistic every year and I started out extremely pessimistic. I think humanity going extinct in my lifetime is more likely than the US getting single payer in my lifetime.
I’m surprised that Trump doesn’t use Obama care to prescribe 9mm medication to people. It’s a lot cheaper to pay a one time cost of a 9mm that reoccurring costs of medication. Think about it, health care costs plumit and firearms sales skyrocket. It’s a republican wet dream.
Definitely oot, but if I could pick two, it’d be this super weird game I’ve never been able to find again, or remember the name of. Had a kind of Hawaiian theme, iirc. There was a conch shell you blew. It was weird, and I loved it so much
I know you’ll be disappointed, but Mario 64 has a fair number of levels and star missions. So, either that or Star Fox (your score can always be a little better).
And then you die because a blood clot that formed in your leg came loose and shot up into your brain, because you’ve been sitting for weeks playing videogames.
Just plug my old ass into the matrix. If I live to see 80 we’ll probably have some kind of full dive VR by that point. Or at least something approaching it.
