Tl;dr obvious issues already addressed in testing patch, wanted to get game out on stated release date to let players enjoy it regardless

I just got in bed after playing for 12h straight, and it has some minor issues, but I don’t regret my purchase at all.

I was getting 7 fps in the main menu before poking at the settings, but my VII is damaged due to a new faulty 1kW psu that suicide-bombed my machine. I’m amazed it works at all, tbh.

Ultra with 1080 and no motion blur (e: and no AA), I’m getting the same as I got in 1 on 1440 (25-30, also with half dead gpu). I have hope that the additional fixes will bring it on par with 1 for fps.

Radeon VII (damaged from a psu failure, though). 1080 ultra, no motion blur, no AA. 25-30 fps, as expected on this card (a fully working one I’d expect ~70, it’s about half dead).

Avoiding the sites ads and other garbage, I fed the url through the Kagi summarizer (“key moments” mode); here’s the output, verbatim:

• Shawn Layden, former CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment America, has concerns about rising costs, consolidation in the industry, and game preservation.
• Consolidation through acquisitions can reduce creativity as studios are absorbed into larger companies and projects.
• Blockbuster games requiring huge budgets and long development times are risky and could limit creativity.
• The focus on only a few popular genres may prevent gaining new players who are not interested in those genres.
• Preservation of older games is important culturally but the industry has no unified effort to make past games widely accessible.
• Backwards compatibility has improved but many games from platforms like PS3 remain difficult to play on new consoles.
• Layden worries large acquisitions could reduce the number of creative voices as smaller studios are absorbed.
• The entry of tech giants like Google, Netflix, Apple and Amazon could disrupt the game industry.
• Layden believes companies need to take more risks, find broader appeal, and develop more sustainable business models.
• While some acquisitions save studios, Layden remains concerned about the long-term impact on creativity within the industry.

No ads, ‘read this!’, ‘watch this video’, slide-out bullshit though. I got two paragraphs in and the text was like 1/4 of my phone screen, the rest were ads/links/slide-out offers. Fuck allllll that noise.

See, that’s the thing: I can’t install stuff for everyone’s phones. But I can offer a solution for others when I feel that it’s worth taking a minute of my day to do something for the benefit of many. So I did.

Or, more obviously: tf you complaining that I’m trying to help everyone? Lol

I asked it for key points though, as a wall of text seemed counter-intuitive. Out of curiosity, here’s the “summary” style:

Shawn Layden, former CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment America, has expressed concerns about consolidation in the video game industry leading to less creativity as large publishers acquire more studios. He worries that independent studios will lose their creative spark when absorbed into massive projects from big publishers. Layden also questioned if the industry can continue growing by relying only on the same popular genres. Additionally, he advocated for better preservation of older games, arguing publishers have an obligation to make their entire history accessible to new generations. However, game preservation often does not help the bottom line. In summary, Layden makes compelling points about the need for disruption, more risks with new IP, and greater access to gaming’s past to ensure its vibrant future.

Yeah, I roll with NextDNS + Iceraven with uB, and + (at home) I also run a secondary DNS check locally on my router for adverts (and other categories), in the unusual chance that either uB or ND let one through. I have built this dome around my/family’s devices, but I get that it’s tedious and many don’t understand how to do this, but want to get the benefit. Plus in this particular instance, I find it really cool how the Kagi ai tool works (I’ve used it a few times myself when I don’t want to read a novel-worth of an article) and I’m paying for the privilege anyway so why not share the output.

Just wanted to help out a little :)
