ech,

Oh no! They don’t have an absolutely perfect track record?! 🙄

Get over yourself. Why even bother this attempt to spurn the studio? Just don’t by the games if you don’t like them.

ech,

I’m unclear what the gameplay will be like. The vibe feels like something between DRG and Outlast Trials?

ech,

Not much to go on, but glad to see something about it!

ech,

Elden Ring really got this right by playing the cool cut scene once and then every attempt after goes straight into the fight. Could’ve done with closer sites/shrines in a few of the fights, though

Starfield's first DLC is one of the worst Bethesda DLCs of all time angielski

Starfield steam page for the DLC currently shows eight user review score of 41%, making this one of the worst Bethesda DLC’s released of all time. This is so horribly, shockingly bad for Bethesda, because it shows as a gaming company, they are no longer capable of delivering a really good gaming experience as they had in the...

ech,

There are 2 important words there that you’re missing.

ech,

In short - a lot.

ech,

It’s funny when you die in the nether lava ocean and have to go on a sand excavation to get your stuff back.

ech,

Is there an eli5 on how “ai upscaling” is less (or even equally) technologically demanding than just putting in better hardware?

ech,

The game is rendered at a lower resolution, this saves a lot of resources.

Then dedicated AI cores or even special AI scaler chips get used to upscale the image back to the requested resolution.

I get that much. Or at least, I get that’s the intention.

This is a fixed cost and can be done with little power since the components are designed to do this task.

This us the part I struggle to believe/understand. I’m roughly aware of how resource intensive upscaling is on locally hosted models. The necessary tech/resources to do that to 4k+ in real time (120+ fps) seems at least equivalent, if not more expensive, to just rendering it that way in the first place. Are these “scaler chips” really that much more advanced/efficient?

Further questions aside, I appreciate the explanation. Thanks!

ech,

Huh, I wasn’t aware that 4090s use similar tech. That sheds light on a few things. Thanks!

ech,

That is interesting. Thanks for the extra info!

ech,

I dig it.

Devs should not be "forced to run on a treadmill until their mental or physical health breaks", says publisher of Manor Lords, citing how gamers seem to be trained to expect endless content work now (www.eurogamer.net) angielski

This really does not sound healthy. The game is released, for a certain amount of money. If people don’t like what they get for their money, they simply should not buy it....

ech,

The dev seems to have a good publisher that’s on their side, which is nice to see. I find it bizarre that this rebuttal comes in response to the CEO of Hinterland Studios, the devs of Long Dark, which was in early access itself for ages. Dunno if they think they’re above it all now, but you’d think they would at least be sympathetic of devs facing that kind of shit. Probably just CEO saying CEO shit. Hopefully the Manor Lords dev doesn’t let it get to them much, or at all.

ech,

Eh, EA can certainly be a problem, but it’s also an incredibly useful resource for devs operating in good faith, opening up the field for talent that would otherwise be priced out of making a game at all. Personally, I’m ok ignoring money grabs if it means the barrier of entry for resource starved talent is lowered.

ech, (edited )

Did you just step out of a time machine? Their sales haven’t had games for ages now. Last one was the monster game, iirc.*

*Oh, there was the Saliens in 2018, too, but that was like a one-off.

ech,

He even has the same amount of pixels.

ech,

Brace yourselves for Embracest, Extendest, Estinguishest.

ech,

Not only are the numbers weird, the games within the series (more than just the main 3) came out as exclusives to a wide variety of platforms. KH has such a bizarre history.

ech, (edited )

You’re still rewarding the Epic exclusivity by giving them your money now. They get the bonus cash from Epic and your purchase years later.

ech, (edited )

They don’t care. They already got what they wanted.

ech,

If I remember right, that game also had bugs with knocked out enemies that made it just about impossible to get the non-lethal achievement (bosses don’t count towards it, fwiw).

ech,

I know. That bit was for those unfamiliar with game and its achievements.

ech,

That’s the classic Bethesda experience.

ech,

From my comment on one of the other threads:

Here, I’ll translate - “We need an undervalued and underpaid studio that we own to pop out a viral sensation we can exploit the shit out of, who we will then treat exactly the same. Repeat ad nauseam”

ech,

Switch Advanced

ech,

Reviews aren’t pointless, but their impact only goes so far. I am assuming the massive amount of refunds had more to do with it, tbh.

ech, (edited )

and the Dev picks sales on Steam, not the publisher.

Do you happen to have a source for this? It was my understanding that the publisher handled all distribution. Hence the name. And if I’m wrong, I’d like to fix my misunderstanding.

ech,

ItsTheSameRacism.meme

ech,

I fully believe that particular occurrence was just people blindly voting for the games they recognized. Tbh, I’d be more disappointed if it was a coordinated effort. Highlighting a smaller game that is is great would be exponentially more effective and beneficial than using the awards to complain about a game you don’t enjoy playing. The studios aren’t going to notice, and neither will most people (like me), so it’s really just wasted effort.

ech,

Just so you know, supposedly you don’t have to vote at all to get the rewards anymore.

ech,

Forage Friendships

Not sure if typo or word play.

ech,

There’s zero indication that was their comment, though. All they said was they commented “on a feature”, not that it’s too hard.

ech, (edited )

Go to the wikis. Ideally the non-fandom ones, but even those are bearable with ublock set up.

ech,

“Mod Support” means (or at least, it used to) the game has structures in place to allow modifications, not that the company is paywalling mods that they “approve”. I’m not sure what the latter is called, but I’m quite sure there’d be a massive uproar if MS/MJ did that for java edition. I know I’d never play the game again, that’s for sure.

ech,

Straight up just a Switch attached to a head strap. Hilarious. Also, I’m positive people would pay legit money for a game that lets them put AC furniture in their house with AR.

ech,

“Let’s lie to you”

The Luigi avatar in the sedan wasn’t a giveaway? It’s a joke, man. Most jokes aren’t actual facts.

ech,

“Thanks for your support in growing this community without any compensation from us that we will throw in the trash the moment it becomes less than profitable. You can continue your unrewarded work for our new and ‘improved’ product that will face the same fate in just a few short years!”

ech,

Hall effect joysticks. That’s cool to see.

ech,

IANAP, but isn’t universal expansion understood to be accelerating? How would “weakening forces of nature” account for that? Assuming this energy could be “lost” (breaking an even longer standing and well tested principle of physics), that loss wouldn’t accelerate anything. At best the speed would remain neutral.

ech,

It’s not on sale, but I had already decided to pick up Pacific Drive before I knew the sale was happening.

Also picked up Party Animals as a couch party game, and Outer Wilds as it’s been on my list for ages now.

ech,

I’ve only played it a bit so far, but it’s been enjoyable fwiw. I’m pretty into looters and survival games, though, so if that’s not your bag, I can see it seeming boring. I find arena pvp shooters repetitive, personally. Everyone’s got their own interests.

ech,

Everything sounds boring if you describe it that simply.

While I generally just like survival and looting games, the setting and story are also quite interesting to me in Pacific Drive, and while I’ve only just started, the hazards are already becoming serious concerns in each level. I can’t say if it’s gonna be amazing or anything yet, but it’s been enjoyable so far.

If someone was into survival games much and liked the settings of games like Control, I’d figure it’d be worth a try.

ech,

You can! There’s actually quite a lot of adjustment options, which I always appreciate in a game.

ech,

Appending “-like” to any genre is so unoriginal and uninteresting.

ech,

Sorry it bugs you, but it’s far better than the entirely uninteresting/unoriginal “Doom-like”. I get it’s standard practice at this point, but I’m happy whenever we get an actually interesting, poignant name.

ech,

That’s abundantly clear.

ech,

It’s an observation, not a “burn”.

ech,

Speak for yourself. I comment on obvious things all the time.
