A way to start a fresh save. Or better yet, allow multiple saves/profiles. I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve had to search online for where save files are located and delete them myself.
And if it’s a Steam game, you also have to worry about cloud saves undoing whatever you did. Please, just make it simple for players to do this.
for that matter, why can’t we ever add a note or a tagline to save files? too many rpg’s and console rpgs have multiple save slots, multiple endings and all that other added content jazz, but no way to internally identify the save files that matter?
Here’s a simple one. On PC, a lot of games let you use the keyboard/mouse or a controller. On some games it’ll switch the prompts to the layout of the last type of input you used. However I tend to use a controller for everything, except I’ll use a mouse for more fine tuned control since I suck at aiming with a joystick. But then what happens is the input notifications switch to keyboard/mouse and sometimes don’t switch back.
I’d love to see an option to force which input style gets displayed on screen. Keyboard/Controller/Auto
That was the worst. One time I had a remote desktop host software running, nothing was even connected, but it was detected first or something stupid, and I couldn’t input the game at all. What an absolute nightmare to troubleshoot. I ended up just never actually playing that game with those friends because I couldn’t, and everybody ended up not playing more of it or any of the sequels as a result.
My first-ever USB pendrive was 256 megabytes, in 2003.
It was a godsend, because to that point I’d been using floppy disks. It was brushed metal and came in a little faux-leather carry pouch. I guess they figured it was so damn expensive, they should at least make it feel premium.
I’ve still got it, and it still works. Quite useful actually for random jobs like flashing the BIOS on old machines that refuse to read from anything too large, or too new.
The PS2 has a hard drive slot but just didn’t come with one by default. There was an official Linux release for it and in Japan you could even use it as a DVR. I don’t think this is a fair comparison.
No, it means they will use LLMs (AGI™) to rewrite new electron apps from the ground up with exciting new breaking changes each release. You will have to schedule hardware updates at a yearly bases if you want to make use of your software subscription. Luckily, they will offer a hardware subscription which only costs twice as much as it should, it will come with insurance which will never be redeemable for the low cost of $30 a month.
This is my hope. There are so many cross-platform GUI toolkits out there that are orders of magnitude more efficient than electron and nobody uses them. It’s not like GTK and Qt are difficult to learn. In fact, I find them easier to wrap my head around than a lot of the JS nonsense out there.
I suspect that your visual objection may be similar to mine, but over the past several years of being subjected to electron trash, using apps written in Qt kind of reminds me now of a simpler time. Nostalgia is a powerful drug, isn’t it?
That all being said, I do find myself preferring the look of GTK apps lately, in spite of the rather controversial direction their design has taken.
Description of the effects and hardware demands of graphics options.
An actual benchmark for ’optimized settings’ (even if it’s just crunching numbers) instead of hardcoded GPU names.
Clear indication of which difficulty the game was balanced for.
Msaa. Hate running old games at 200 fps with jagged edges and blur thanks to fxaa.
Instant controls switching between controller and keyboard. Tired of games that pick input type at startup, pick input glyphs at startup, ignore first button press from a different input before switching, disable controller if keyboard input is detected etc etc.
Not games but steam: just let me force steam input on all games like Proton.
Also how ‘full potato’ do you want it to be? I assume the settings don’t scale below low, so it’d be just turning off shadows, reflections etc. Would even the lowest resolution textures fit in the vram of an older card? And besides, the engine is probably designed for modern multi core cpus so even if the graphics could be scaled down it might not run well
I always dread picking up a new game that is kinda demanding on the hardware because I hate to keep testing all graphical settings to have the best graphics with good fps. The least they could do is show a split scene with each setting on or off so you can judge with your eyes, but a button that you set the fps and the game crunches some numbers and benchmark to find the best quality graphics settings it can do at the target fps.
If it can adjust the graphics on demand would also be awesome because some games can have variable demands during gameplay.
I joined and immediately noticed time seemed to flicker between night and day at random intervals. It stopped when I slept but I wonder why did it happen?
I was wondering that too. Its actually a thunder storm. The worst thing is that it also spawns a lot of skeletons :/. I feel like it is happening alot, it might be related to the biome. Thanks for checking it out though. :)
Not a setting, but a “here’s what you did last time/here’s where you need to go now”. If it’s been a little while since I played the game, I shouldn’t be lost trying to figure out where I am or where I’m going.
Another commented said Fully Remappable Controls, but I want to foot stomp it. On PC games, I use EDSF instead of WASD, but if some controls can’t be remapped and they overlap with EDSF then I won’t play the game.
On console, I fucking hate that Elden Ring maps “crouch/sneak” to pushing down on the movement stick. I’m furiously fighting for my fucking life against a boss that attacks every 0.7 seconds. I’m moving that stick as fast as I can, which means I’m pushing hard on it. It sucks to be trying to run away from an attack but then start crouching and sneaking away from a 40ft tall axe coming down on you.
I tend to clutch the remote when stressed. It’s highly frustrating when I’m in the middle of an intense gunfight and suddenly my character tries to melee. Having to push down and hold a thumb stick while doing other actions with my fingers makes my hand sore as well.
Any game with a free cam should have the option to turn off 3d fly. Trying to perfectly position a camera while having to constantly turn in order to not go up or down while trying to slightly reposition has got to be one of the most annoying things.
I didn’t realize it had gotten that bad. I bought 2x16gb DDR4 RAM in 2021 for $204 CAD. I bought the identical set for $69 in 2024. The same set (this is all on Newegg) today is $279. That is insane!
Same but I upgraded to 4x8 a while ago so I have 4x4 just sitting here and it’s worth like 20 western money units (pick a currency, doesn’t really matter)
Like one AI deal bought half of Samsungs global output next year. There are many others. It takes a couple of years to bring new facilities online. This is a capacity issue, not competition.
Yeah. I’m getting what you mean by that. It’s weird. Black Flag with like 100 chests and a bunch of extras and I feel like a longer story didn’t feel like a grind. But this one does
Yeah, Black Flag’s seafaring was fun. It was enjoyable to guide your ship around, explore the random tiny unnamed islets, dive into the ocean and hear the crew laugh about the captain jumping overboard.
Yes, collecting every last thing was a grind. But it was a fun grind. It felt like I was choosing to do all that, even though the game was psychologically goading me into it.
(Insert philosophical discussion about free will related to a video game about genetic memory and following predicted behavior.)
Add to that how 3’s protagonist was so unlikable that Ubisoft made fun of themselves for it in AC: Rogue.
