Star Citizen isn’t being touted as a AAAA+ game, though it’s certainly been selling in game stuff like one.

I’m just amazed that, 6 months later, they haven’t fixed any of the skill related bugs, but “fixed” the visual effects of rejuvenation ~4 times (it’s listed that many times in the changelogs, anyway). That’s bad even for Bethesda standards

More like Fallout 4 in space, minus any interesting places to explore, worse characters, story and base building.

Fun fact: The Sims 2 is abandonware. Other than buying used physical media, the only way to get it nowadays is through piracy.

Eh, there’s a huge number of shovelware for every console generation, plus less than stellar titles. The thing is that, due to all the years piling up, the amount of good stuff just increases.

I’m also on a 1070, but mine’s been trucking along since 2019. I do occasionally play something GPU intensive, but I often avoid going full MAX GRAFFICS because the laptop gets really toasty, which causes visible screen tearing due to most of the hot air being blown straight onto the fucking screen. Great engineering, ASUS, gg.

If you look at other games published by Sega, like Yakuza Like a Dragon, Persona 3 Reload, Two Point Hospital, Total War games, it becomes clear Sega’s the one responsible for that

You mean the near Paradox levels of DLC for Three Kingdoms and Warhammer? And selling blood as a fucking DLC for every Total War game since Shogun 2? Yeah, I’ve heard about it.

The games are good, but Sega’s forced monetization is atrocious.

I remember the dev of Frog Fractions was doing a kickstarter back then. After the announcement of Facebook buying Occulus, they put up a new bonus goal of 2 billion: “Buy occulus back”

Ever heard the saying “Everything looks like a nail when you have a hammer”? Basically, just because you have a tool, it doesn’t mean it’s the best tool for every job. UE5 is great for making games, cinematics and loads of other stuff. But why use it to effectively behave as a browser like Chrome or Firefox, but worse, when there are alternatives made specifically for that?

If you peruse the folder where it’s installed and compared to any UE4 or UE5 game, you’ll notice all the other similarities in .dll files, folders and whatnot. Even the CrashReporter.exe is the same you see in unreal games. Or you can check the config files at Epic GamesLauncherEngineConfig which has stuff like BaseEngine.ini which, among other networking configurations, also has this:


<span style="color:#323232;">[/Script/Engine.Engine]
</span><span style="color:#323232;">ConsoleClassName=/Script/Engine.Console
</span><span style="color:#323232;">GameViewportClientClassName=/Script/Engine.GameViewportClient
</span><span style="color:#323232;">LocalPlayerClassName=/Script/Engine.LocalPlayer
</span><span style="color:#323232;">WorldSettingsClassName=/Script/Engine.WorldSettings
</span><span style="color:#323232;">NavigationSystemClassName=/Script/NavigationSystem.NavigationSystemV1
</span><span style="color:#323232;">NavigationSystemConfigClassName=/Script/NavigationSystem.NavigationSystemModuleConfig
</span><span style="color:#323232;">AvoidanceManagerClassName=/Script/Engine.AvoidanceManager
</span><span style="color:#323232;">PhysicsCollisionHandlerClassName=/Script/Engine.PhysicsCollisionHandler
</span>

Meanwhile, in Epic GamesLauncherPortalConfig, the “game” part of the launcher, you have DefaultGame.ini and DefaultEngine.ini, the latter’s first 2 lines pointing back to the Engine folder: [Configuration] BasedOn=…EngineConfigBaseEngine.ini

So, yeah, it’s the actual engine. I was going to complain about disk bloat, but my Steam install is currently sitting at 1.3GB and I’m not entirely sure how much of that is from cached stuff. GOG Galaxy is taking ~980MB, but roughly 650MB are from redist installers (MSVC2005, 2007, dotnet, etc), so a “clean” install would be way lighter than Steam or EGS, the latter at 1.1GB on a clean install.

I really wish they’d start by not making the EGS program a fucking UE5 app. Seriously, using the whole ass engine to render html is stupid beyond belief

What you been describing is not 3D models and meshes, which is what takes up the majority of the hard drive space.

My brother in christ, what the fuck do you think i’ve been describing then? I even linked an example of how the 3d model itself, the geometry, the mesh, occupies less disk space than the actual textures

For comparison, this Damaged Helmet in gltf format (which you can see on your browser here) has 15k triangles, a .bin file (the actual 3D geometry) of 545kb and roughly 3MB of textures - The Default_albedo.jpg is the “actual color” and it alone is larger than the .bin + .gltf, at 914kb.

What I see is that you don’t understand how procedural generation works. As is today, how do you think planetary terrain is generated? That it is all saved as a file that is read from your computer/PC? That you could load up a “planetXYZ.file” externally to edit it? That the terrain mesh is this huge file with all sorts of hills and plains that you could import/export and load in Blender?

The limitation is coder skill, not hardware. That .kkrieger example is 20 years old. It could make a Pentium 3 “generate an entire FPS game” from less than 100kb of coding instructions alone.

The question is "why don’t other people do it, then?" and the answer is “because having all those media resources as files makes the startup faster, memory usage down and is easier to modify and replace
