Ask me again in another couple of years. By then it might be sold at a price point better aligned with what I expect to get, and I might even have the hardware to run the average Unity 5 Unreal Engine 5 game.
You’d think people who do nothing all day but work on middleware had the time and resources to carefully optimize their code, but apparently not.
…and I might even have the hardware to run the average Unity 5 game.
Unreal Engine 5, surely? As that’s what it is. Unity 5 was apparently released back in 2015.
But, yea, BL4 is a “wait for ~20 €/$ sale for the ultimatebundle with all the dlc”. Haven’t really felt the need for BL since Pre-sequel killed it for me. Got BL3 on sale and… eh, it was kinda stuttery mess as well, when I played it.
Same here. I did it the hard way with a modchip but these days it’s all software. It lived as a media player for a long time. I eventually replaced it with a PC running Windows Media Center, that was nowhere near as good…
Woah! Someone who liked the ending! You're too wholesome for a gaming community lol.
I read one meta take on the ending that both sounded interesting and like cope. The end of Part II makes you feel exactly like Ellie feels. You push through because you want a conclusion to the story, just like Ellie. The end might be terrible, but it is an ending. In a meta way, you could get a better "ending" by stoping when Ellie and Dina are together at the farmhouse. You can stop playing, just like Ellie could stop obsessing over Abby, but how many people did that? Who would stop when the story isn't done?
Personally, I think the writers made a bet that they could stretch "an eye for an eye leaves the world blind" into a novel.
I’m the kind of person that even if I don’t agree with the message of a game, I can respect and like it.
The meta aspect was something I noticed too. Maybe it is cope like you said, but the story making you feel how Ellie feels is the kind of story I love. Walk a mile in someone else’s shoes and all that. I didn’t think of the farmhouse “ending” though, I can see that though because the game officially ends at the farmhouse. So the “better ending” being there I could see, especially with them escaping alive (except for Jesse)
Alright, the truth then. You’re right about one thing… I do need capital. And votes. Wanna know why? “I have a dream.” That one day, every person in this nation will control their OWN destiny. A land of the TRULY free, dammit. A nation of ACTION, not words. Ruled by STRENGTH, not committee. Where the law changes to suit the individual, not the other way around. Where power and justice are back where they belong: in the hands of the people! Where every man is free to think – to act – for himself! Fuck all these limp-dick lawyers and chicken-shit bureaucrats. Fuck this 24/7 Internet spew of trivia and celebrity bullshit. Fuck “American pride”. Fuck the media! Fuck all of it! America is diseased. Rotten to the core. There’s no saving it – we need to pull it out by the roots. WIpe the slate clean. BURN IT DOWN! And from the ashes, a new America will be born. Evolved, but untamed! The weak will be purged, and the strongest will thrive – free to live as they see fit, they will make America GREAT AGAIN!
What the hell are you talking about?
You still don’t get it. I’m using war as a business to get elected… so I can end war as a business! In my new America, people will die and kill for what they BELIEVE! Not for money, not for oil! Not for what they’re told is right. Every man will be free to fight his own wars!
I never played that game, and without that context, it is genuinely scary how hard it is to tell whether it not this is a real thing a real politician actually said. God damn, Kojima saw it coming.
There was a sci-fi book called Parable of the Sower in the early 90s that had it as the slogan of a shitty fascist president. It’s worth a read and will feel especially creepy right now.
Ronald Reagan, the 1980 Republican presidential nominee, originated the slogan “Make America Great Again.” He and his running mate George H.W. Bush used the phrase on buttons and posters
This mindset from people is what makes online multiplayer games unplayable for me.
I don’t get a lot of time to play games as an adult. When I do, I don’t particularly want people telling me how I should be having fun. There is this weird competition that happens where you need to know everything about a game before you are allowed to partake in the game. It sucks to have missed out on so many experiences, but i guess my not playing sub-optimally made someone else’s experience better, so it’s all good.
No man, by all means you bought the game enjoy it however you want. But be real, if you play Ranked in a competitive online game then are expected to at least understand the games mechanics. If not, why not stick to standard? That’s what irritates me.
If you want to figure out how good you are and enjoy a challenge you play ranked. If the ranked system is good you should rarely or never play with teammates less knowledgeable and less skilled than you.
I don’t think we need a higher barrier of entry for ranked. Just accept that the skill variance happens on both sides and focus on your own game. If you can mentor that is nice and helpful if done right.
I agree 100% and for the record I’m decent at my best days on most online FPS games that I play. It’s not the outcome that irritates me it’s the “why” behind it. In R6S for example “I’m not opening rotation holes because I don’t know where to open them/forgot about them” and “I don’t care about rotation holes because I’m here for my K/D” both have the same outcome. One is an honest play style while the other actively ignores a core part of the game. This I why I’m left wondering if some players like the game itself or they’re just jumping in to jump in. Despite everything it’s still an online game and other players are players not NPCs.
You can replay any game, of course, but Clair Obscur’s gameplay is mostly on rails with basic JRPG combat repeated over and over again, so I wouldn’t bother. (Honestly, I found the gameplay boring within a dozen hours or so.) Its music is where it really shines. You could buy the soundtrack alone for a fraction of the price.
BG3’s atmosphere is good. The soundtrack is IMHO less inspired than Larian’s previous soundtrack and not really outstanding like the one in Clair Obsucr, but still decent. And as a game, BG3 has a lot more to offer.
Clair Obscur does technically have an NG+, though I’d say it’s less of a focus than in Souls games. There is, however, quite a bit of foreshadowing and pieces of the story that you won’t understand on your first playthrough but that hits different the second time through. I personally opted to consume it by watching others play after I completed my own first playthrough, but I’d say there is grounds enough for a second playthrough if that’s important to you.
I assume this is part due to many games only having support for OpenGL and DirectX, and no Vulkan support. OpenGL has the worse performance of the three, and DirectX is windows only.
But when you using proton, you are likely also dxvk, taking benefit of the optimizations made by game/engine developers for DirectX, while suffering little overhead from the DirectX to Vulkan conversion.
which emotional extremes? happiness? joy? fear? sadness? terror? hunger? beautiful food? lust? lust for the beautiful food? i got a lot of emotions just right now lets be real, there’s more than two.
Oh no doubt food can evoke an emotional response, like coming home on a cold rainy day to smell of your loved one baking cookies or something. But hunger itself I wouldnt class as an emotion
i guess you haven’t experienced capitalized Hunger yet then. like, not eating for two months hunger. trust me, it’s an emotion as well as a physical response.
