If you reply plz tag me so I get the notification. I haven't seen anything on the game but I remember the first one being fairly heavy too. You sure the game isn't just "future proof" meaning that it was designed for hardware not even out yet, that way it ages well and doesn't look super dated in a year or 2?
I was also worried DLSS would be used in a crutch but honestly I now believe I was wrong and that DLSS 2's upscaling (or one like it) and frame gen like DLSS 3 will be in everything eventually.
The next consoles that come out will likely have hardware accelerated upscaling. It's planned for RDNA4 but AMD might just do an rdna3+ refresh kinda thing and delay RDNA4 to make sure latency between chiplets is as low as possible.
Point being both technologies will be a part of everything once consoles support it. The upside is upscaling tech has gotten really good and even frame gen which AMD had like 14 years ago will be good enough in a year that we likely won't have to worry about ghosting or artifacts

Seems odd not to allow keyboard for a fighting game though. But that's just the old man ranting.

Apparently that bluray's are typically 50GB nowadays, I thought it was 60
orchid prism
inb5 50mb disc just for authentication.
feral ferry
I did grow up with physical games, and I can tell you that much, I don't really care for discs anymore
orchid prism
Besides with the game clearly being a live service kind of deal, anything on that disc will be defunct within a year or two.
feral ferry
My PC literally doesn't have a cd reader, nor am I going to buy one
Discs are actually worse storage medium imo than a digital copy
Get yours scratched up and it's fooked
Cool to look at and flaunt? Yes
Practical? Hell no
Relax vietnam gramps, not everything is military
Practicality wise physical copies don't make sense anymore for most gamers
orchid prism
The solution is simple and obvious.
Make each disc tie to a digital account, with a process to change it automatically later. Meaning that even if the disc breaks, the digital account it was last tied to can keep using it.
Upcharge physical customers 10$ for the disc on sale, for the convenience of saving some download time.
feral ferry
Lol that wasn't an attack nor do I care for your opinion about a video game
The fact that people are defending physical game storage medium doesn't make sense to me

feral ferry

What are you on about
feral ferry
project zomboid & l4d2 on top
I find Zomboid rather boring ngl
It's very aimless, in a sense, a true sandbox
Yet not a sandbox that's very fun
You are kinda left to your own devices and it's just not that interesting
CDLCs are by far of much higher quality than most mods
Prairie Fire is one of the best ones in general in terms of quality
The czechoslovakian one was pretty damn awful, yet of still high fidelity
There's a good reason why I said that
Mods have quantity
Look into Prairie Fire vs what lead to it, Unsung
Unsung has so much more content
And Prairie Fire is a pretty damn big CDLC
Quantity in Arma, at least to me, matters usually more than quality
Especially when it comes to Vietnam war, PF lacks a lot of equipment that Unsung Redux and the OG Unsung has
But PF is by far some of the most polished content around
Vertexmacht's Global Mobilization is also, really really high quality mod, but again, not too much in terms of quantity
There's a good, fair line between DLCs, CDLCs and mods
Mods are usually less detailed, less effort put into extremely good models and game mechanics, but they have a lot of content
CDLCs vary in terms of quantity, but usually less than the "good" mods, but quality is much higher
Even RHS, which is by far the biggest mod and a must-have, is rather lacking in quality
DLCs is Bohemia stuff which they don't make anymore, but the quality is what you expect, game studio level

has like 500dmg or so on the last hit
any weapon has a 2.0 multiplier at its critical state

ya but royal claymore has 2 2x mults
due to the double break point state
one at 3 hits left and 1 at 1 hit left
feral drum
Have fun, it takes 421 seeds to get all 20 weapon slots, 14 bow slots and 20 shield slots

small comet
fuck no i always cheat durability high with save editors
cant be arsed to constantly dupe weapons, bows and shields
feral ferry
The way they did durability is horrible
feral drum
The game wants you to learn and try different weapons, that's why the durability exists in the first place and it was a pain in the ass first in BotW, but i grew to love it
feral ferry
I understand the Fallout 3 and NV kind of durability, where the weapon gets progressively worse
small comet
zelda botw/totk durability is like leveling pokemon when you can just cheat rare candy and cut out the unfun grind
feral ferry
But where you are forced to lose it eventually and have to get it again? Hell no
If you use something constantly, it should cost resources to maintain
Not to punish you with deleting the damn item after 50 swings
It's simple law of QoL
feral drum
Weapons get dull and break after using them over and over again irl too, so the mechanic is fine. Besides, there are Rock Octoroks
same
The approach with the durability in TotK seems absolutely fine to me
feral ferry
Good riddance, I say
It was a really uninspired blend of Zelda
Not a great game, rather boring
feral drum
i mean Rock Octoroks, decayed weapons at the surface, it finally has a good consistency and balance compared to BotW

The gameplay though.. yeah that's where Ubisoft really sucks
Black Flag though, not really, that one was amazing
I think Rogue for a BF successor is also very underrated
feral drum
It depends, they improved over time. However, i think Syndicate didn't stick in our memories due to the lack luster story
trim rock
3 was enjoyable enough for me, hated the ending ||because I'm one of the weirdos who was actually looking forward to the Desmond game||
feral drum
Desmond should've become the greatest Assassin of all time
now he ded
i actually wonder more what Nintendo has up their sleeves
As if
grizzled bramble
Another Zelda
small comet
Desmond should've become the greatest Assassin of all time
he did become the greatest by assassinating himself
feral drum
uh... i highly doubt that Nintendo will jump on the "all digital" shit wagon
fading spade
I doubt they will go digital only, they actually like physical cartridges
Sell them cheaper than on the eShop
trim rock
Physical cartridges cost monies, and can be resold, that means less profits!
feral drum
And i still doubt it, because their entire selling point was the mobility of the Switch
trim rock
Don't you guys have phones?
feral drum
and you really think that's true?
A fucking SD card costs less to make
Do you really think someone like Nintendo wouldn't have figured out a way to cheap it down to like 3 bucks a piece?
fading spade
Still dont explain why the physical copy of games is cheaper than on the eShop
Physical games are 45-49 euro while 60 on the eShop
🤔
oh
strange
fringe salmon
simple, stores lower prices after a while to rid inventory, digital games don't have storag space they take up
feral drum
Ok, did some research and actually a single 32 GB Switch Cartridge cost 60% more than a 50 GB BD around 3½ years ago. 3 and a half years! If calculated correctly that was $22 dollars a cartridge, from assembling all the way to giving each one a unique ID, flashing the data onto it, etc.
22 bucks just 3½ years ago. Pretty sure they cut it down to less than 10 by now
actually they get their Chips from Hynix, Samsung, SanDisk and some more
They don't have just 1 distributor
they literally use a modified SD card memory
It's nothing special
You think so? Go and buy any cheap ass cartridge and crack it open
willow quiver
Desmond should've become the greatest Assassin of all time

3 was enjoyable enough for me, hated the ending ||because I'm one of the weirdos...
I still don’t know why they killed him pff
For some reason I’ve always been a fan of games set in the modern day
WW3 stuff, alternate reality shit
I was so pissed when they released like 10 games in a row about wars in the past for COD, Battlefield and the likes
fading spade
small comet
that why we wont get that cyberpunk thing?
feral ferry
that why we wont get that cyberpunk thing?
What cyberpunk thing?
The DLC for 2077 is launching soon
I think they canned the multiplayed thing they were working on
And are working on a sequel for 2077
But I have serious doubts for their success
Their roadmap that they presented is beyond their capabilities imo, to launch a game that is actually fun to play
They'll end up an Ubisoft type company at this point
tired knoll
my next target
feral ferry
They want to make 3 Witcher games in like the span of 6 years or something like that
feral ferry
"All three games aimed to be delivered within a 6-year period
following the Polaris release"
I'm sorry, but you don't make a good game within 3 years
orchid prism
I'm sorry, but you don't make a good game within 3 years
Counterpoint: 2077.
small comet
depends on if they work on all 3 in parallel but allocate less resources to 2
orchid prism
feral ferry
Pre-prod, so idk, 2026-27?
If they are actually believing in 3 year production cycle
So they want to be developing a new IP, a full fledged sequel to 2077, and a new trilogy
small comet
i dont particularly see any reason not to basically finish a lot of stuff for the other 2 while making the first
feral ferry
When they failed to deliver on 2077 which they worked on for what, 7 years?
small comet
i think 2077 specifically was more a failure of investors pushing for a release
not specifically them just pooping it out as fast as they can
orchid prism
When they failed to deliver on 2077 which they worked on for what, 7 years?
Well...no. As we all know that was never the case.
small comet
i also dont know exactly if there was any feature creep on 2077
because from the videos ive seen it looked like massive feature creep but i havent seen official statements of such
orchid prism
Massive featurecreep if you will. It was originally intended as a linear game.
In the end, they only had 2-3 years of total dev time to work on the actual product we ended up with.
small comet
so they basically remade the game all over to not be linear and then had investors sitting and pressuring them
tough jay
I would not put everything on investors, scope creep is a natural process here.
orchid prism
Basically. And the first two or three years after the reveal back in 2013? was just prototyping with a handful of people, waiting for Witcher 3 to be sunset, so the entire studio could pick it up and go into actual production.
tough jay
As for the layoffs 9% is not that dramatic and fits within general restructuring.
small comet
I would not put everything on investors, scope creep is a natural process here.
like i said it looks like it but i personally didnt see any official confirmation. but if they had 7 years and didnt change from linear to well basically play however you want i bet in 7 years wed have gotten a banger of a game with 2077
feral ferry
Actually now that I think about it, the 2013 or so trailer was way before Witcher 3
And witcher 3 is a 2015 title right?
So 2077 launched only 5 years after 3 launched, and 3 had numerous DLCs
Damn I totally forgot that 2077 was announced before 3 launched
small comet
didnt witcher 3 have like 3 or 4 years of dev time
The game's development began following the release of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Blood and Wine (2016). so 4 years total dev time, massive feature creep and scope creep with changing from linear to player driven story and investors sitting idle
feral ferry
No wonder the devs actually hated the whole project
I still remember the massive leak of source files and dev comments flaming the project and leadership
small comet
still feel like it would have been a banger if it was either always linear story or they made it player driven from the start
feral ferry
Tbf now that they effectively doubled their dev time on the 2077 project
And basically made their longest in-development game to date
I wonder if phantom liberty will be actually amazing
small comet
all the bugs aside i liked cyberpunk
tough jay
I still should play it some time, just like I should finish the witcher 3 sometime but here I am stuck watching youtube and playing garbage in the background.
feral ferry
all the bugs aside i liked cyberpunk
Tbf I had a really good time with it
Didn't encounter anything game breaking
small comet
i was lucky enough to not be part of the hype
feral ferry
And tbf I also kinda like bugs
small comet
i encountered enough game breaking things lol
feral ferry
They are funny
tough jay
Kind of grown over getting hyped for games
feral ferry
That's what happens when you play Bethesda games for a living
Bugs become a feature that amuse me
small comet
no if id play bethesda games for a living id hate living
i just cant stand their newer games.... oblivion/shivering isles and fo3 is where its at
feral ferry
i just cant stand their newer games.... oblivion/shivering isles and fo3 is wher...
Well let's bring the discussion back to CD Project
small comet
oh?
i have no doubt theyll fuck up their new game either at bethesda studios
starlawn or whatever
feral ferry
Oi wey don't shittalk my next space RPG
(tbf I don't have much hope for its success)
small comet
the game will kinda suck probably and the collectors edition will be another slam dunk on customers
feral ferry
I think what makes Fallout 4 actually fun even though it was flamed is how compact it is
There's encounters behind every corner
small comet
if i want space rpg i play elite dangerous
orchid prism
It's a game, about visiting generated planets. That sounds empty afffffff
feral ferry
Especially since there will be no vehicles cause Creation Engine can't handle those
Well, Skyrim did have horses, rideable dragons, Fallout 4 had vertibirds you can mount
small comet
wait they didnt even make a new engine?
feral ferry
Maybe they somehow made Creation actually handle vehicles
small comet
they try to cram it into creation?
orchid prism
People modded cars and such into Fallout. So I doubt Bethesda couldn't do it officially in their bi-yearly update of the engine.
feral ferry
From what their marketing team claim, they had a bandaid team of like 5 engine engineers for Skyrim and Fallout
So Creation Engine was rather rushed and really shit
They have apparently a proper team of 30 or so engine engineers working on Creation 2
So.. I have some hope it will not be an unstable mess
small comet
inb4 fps bound physics again
feral ferry
My main concern with the game remains the just innate nature of what they are trying to do
Procedurally generated worlds with sprinkled in dungeons and encounters
Like, that sounds really bland
small comet
sounds exactly as bland as elite dangerous lol
feral ferry
Is that game bad?
small comet
but that game at least has player interactions
small comet
Is that game bad?
well its basically just an entire galaxy procedurally generated with scientific data so planet movements are sort of accurate
outside of that its just artifical factions and realtime market that every player has to interact with at some point
the only thing that make ED good imo is that every player influences the same galactic states of everything. power balance, market prices, how the story unfolds (to some extent) and events in game
feral ferry
but that game at least has player interactions
At least Starfield isn't doing the NMS thing where "it's so big, you can't possibly meet another player"
orchid prism
ED's main issue is... lack of ownership and making a mark. You will never move beyond being a space pilot of a single ship somewhere.
It really lacks X's "build a station" style gameplay.
small comet
well yes people moved beyong being a single ship space pilot
with their new fleet carriers
feral ferry
Any of you space fans play that abandonware game
small comet
no youre not piloting it
feral ferry
Space Citizen is it called?
small comet
youre instructing it to jump into certain spaces but dont directly steer or navigate it
its a glorified space station of your own
you control what services are offered
what items are stocked in the market
what prices they sell and buy for
orchid prism
Ehh... I feel like that's a bad technicality. You're still not making a dent in the universe economy in a meaningful way.
small comet
oh boy yes you are
you havent seen those crazy people i guess
every few months they short some weird item and then when the station wants to buy it for tons they dump a ton of the resource
orchid prism
Agree to disagree. It's still not a proper economy interaction like X or EvE.
small comet
its not real realtime economy
as it only ticks every so often
but you can definitely influence it to any degree you want if you have the cash and means
orchid prism
Resources are generated out of thin air. It is not a proper economy.
You can absolutely, completely wreak the entire economy if you put your mind to it in X.
For the entire universe.
small comet
x isnt an mmo
unless i missed some x game that is an mmo
the comparison to eve id say is fair but eve is another beast imo
orchid prism
Neither is ED.
small comet
ed is an mmo
orchid prism
It really isn't.
small comet
so me shooting down players isnt mmo
its just a coop with like a few other ships of people i dont know
orchid prism
It's Dark Souls/GTA style. Your session can be shared with a small portion of random players.
small comet
well im honestly not sure id even compare anything to GTA
gta5 is a dictatorship if anything
orchid prism
I'm specifically talking about the nature of the multiplayer connectivity here.
orchid prism
Yes it does.
small comet
no you connect to the host player
every lobby has a host player and they have almost full control over the lobby
orchid prism
That... that is a session, Tony. Doesn't matter if it's hosted by a player or on a central server.
small comet
kicking who they like etc
orchid prism
An MMO requires you to be connected to an entire shard all at once, which ED does not do. You only connect to a handful of players.
small comet
id say its an mmo because well you are connected to all players
you just cant interact with all at once
small comet
you do
orchid prism
No.
small comet
even if you select solo
you are connected to the ed servers
and pull data and can whisper people etc
orchid prism
Adding IRC to your singleplayer experience does not an MMO make.
small comet
its not SP
youre still bound to galactic market and power balance
thats like saying GTA5 online in a force solo session is single player
orchid prism
Yes.
You're playing a singleplayer, live service game. Still not an MMO. No more than claiming ANNO is an MMO, just because there's a global market that slightly adjusts prices.
small comet
i wouldnt say ED is a single player game but sure
and id say most people would disagree with such claim as well
orchid prism
Let me know when you can completely monopolize a resource in ED, and collapse the global market. Then it's a proper economy. As long as resources are produced and consumed purely on paper, with no real interaction, then it isn't an economy.
small comet
so the prices changing galactically and you having to source from else where almost daily because prices keep going up or certain resources become not viable over time is not economy
also i think ED wouldnt exist if resources could run out
because an MMO with finite resources sucks
orchid prism
In X you can completely destroy the economy of every single faction, by limiting or outright refusing resources to them. There is not magical a conjuration of resources to keep things going.
Cause and effect. ED's systems couldn't care less if you camp a station for weeks at a time, preventing every single trader or cargo ship from docking.
small comet
X is an SP game where no one else wants to enjoy the game but you
ofc you can easily limit resources
in a multiplayer game doing this will just in the long run kill the game
orchid prism
ED does not have a proper economy. That was my complaint, and you have confirmed it.
orchid prism
in a multiplayer game doing this will just in the long run kill the game
coughs in EvE
feral ferry
small comet
*coughs in EvE*
where the change was just recently introduced as far as i know
orchid prism
What? EvE has had this since its inception.
small comet
afaik they made resources even more scarce for no reason a few years ago
i personally never got into EvE over the many times i tried though
orchid prism
Anyway - My point stands. ED is a pointless experience, because nothing you do will have any lasting effect on the universe. You cannot set up any kind of persistent real estate, corporation or manufacturing. You are a glorified spaceship courier, who can shoot shit up that's procedurally generated out of thin air.
Which is a real shame, considering it's near infinite universe of just empty solar systems for hours of travel.
small comet
ok but no one said you can setup persistent real estate or manufacturing or such
orchid prism
ok but no one said you can setup persistent real estate or manufacturing or such
I did - I said that.
small comet
no i mean no said claimed you can in ED
small comet
well i countered that by saying you can have something akin to a space station
which you just disregarded despite it having all the features of a space station
orchid prism
If you're fine with playing a game that has an empty universe with no impact from anything you will ever be able to do, then enjoy I guess?
orchid prism
which you just disregarded despite it having all the features of a space station
Yes - In a fake economy.
small comet
as mentioned i dont think it would be fun for most people
i assume youre playing eve?
orchid prism
Used to. I still play a lot of X.
small comet
so why not eve anymore
orchid prism
Because I have a job 😄
small comet
well there you go
orchid prism
There is a middle ground to be had. I played EvE in nullsec, player owned space.
EvE has plenty of PvE content, within said economy
My particular flavour of playing EvE just happened to be akin to end-game raiding in your run of the mill MMO. Needs a lot of hours consistently.
If I left for a week, I could come back to a massive shift in the geopolitical situation in my area, meaning I could be logging into a space corpse.
I could absolutely play as a miner/manufacturer/bounty hunter in PvE space if I wanted to. But for that I feel like X does it better, because my actions have a much bigger impact on the universe. EvE was for the multiplayer experience.
small comet
so it doesnt matter if i play eve or ed
i dont leave a mark in either
cause i wont be living in the game. id play it for an hour at best every day or 2
orchid prism
X enters the arena
small comet
dont like x
small comet
i specifically like the fact i can wake up to drastically different market prices
but its basically the same reasons i dont like games like anno, civ, banished and basically anything else the likes
feral ferry
Oi wey why dislike Anno and civ?
small comet
i can save at any point and correct mistakes i made economy or politics wise
also i wake up and its as i left it however long ago
id love for a game where the market and politics keep running and evolving while i dont play my save
feral ferry
Yeah but neither civ or anno are really like that, they are singleplayer after all
small comet
correct
feral ferry
I do really enjoy civ though
feral ferry
Anno... I love and hate Anno. The overcomplex economy mechanics is what I really really don't like
small comet
but i still wake up to random new events that unfolded while i didnt play
feral ferry
But it's a good micromanagement game
feral ferry
but i still wake up to random new events that unfolded while i didnt play
Tbf you can have that in any singleplayer game, random events while playing
Civ is basically a "random event" game, you have no clue what others civs are doing
small comet
well the point is random stuff while not playing
feral ferry
That's quite niche, I get your perspective but I think most people would find that really unfair
small comet
well yeah i find eve online for example unfair
first i get shafted by needing to invest years to build up anything
and then it can get taken away in the blink of an eye requiring another year to rebuild smth
(not literally a year but you get what i mean)
while in ED its sort of softened... i can wake up to random game states of anything heck my station i parked in could be under attack or on fire
but i wont have to regrind or invest thousands of dollars to skip the grind
and its not like i dont get EvE or X/Anno/Civ players
but i like the inbetween
orchid prism
Oi wey why dislike Anno and civ?
Oh I dislike both 😄
Really not a fan of Civ 6's city defense mechanic, or the weird meta system of placing down the districts. Feels very anti-Civ.
ANNO isn't a city builder, as much as they'd like to claim otherwise. It's a 1:1 ratio puzzle.
feral ferry
Oh yeah I thought that civ 6 is a major downgrade over Civ 5
It's far too different for my liking
orchid prism
ANNO 1800 also majorly self sabotaged by releasing a DLC that goes completely against the core of the game.
That "#¤¤%& capital city.
small comet
i feel like im glad i skipped anno ever since getting the anno 2077 or whatever it was
small comet
i did build the included solar powered thing but never played it
orchid prism
ANNO has always been about expanding from a starter island to other island. But with the DLC everyone is basically forced to always use that pre-generated island, because all future DLC like the palace and such are designed with it in mind.
And modders can't generate larger islands, because islands are premade with proprietary and complex mapping tools.
small comet
anno 1602 or bust
feral ferry
Well, 1404 was the best anno game until 1800
I think it's pretty widely considered nowadays that 1800 has surpassed 1404
It's a really good game
small comet
played limited 1404
orchid prism
1404 and 2070 are my personal favourites. 1404 for being the last ANNO with actual combat that isn't just "more ships" but actual invading islands with proper foot soldiders.
2070 had the interesting mechanics of two factions and underwater cities, all on a single map.
small comet
i still have the 2070 collectors edition i think
feral ferry
So Ubi still has one good franchise, untainted, remaining
small comet
oh boi settlers
feral ferry
Uhh, hard disagree
Anno 1800 for me feels like a straight up 1404, but better and enhanced
Cause I struggled hard to comprehend 1404
orchid prism
ANNO 1800 is the best ANNO ever... if not for the massive self-sabotaging 😄
feral ferry
1800 for me was just as complex, but more lenient
feral ferry
Didn't Settlers just have a new game launch?
small comet
IT teacher really liked it apparently
feral ferry
Settlers always seemed like a franchise that never got its full potential revealed
All games just kinda sucked in some way
orchid prism
Settlers is... just... not very consistent.
Every game seems to reinvent what it means.
small comet
cities skylines on 3ds when
orchid prism
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WRbSguU7OjM
Personally I prefer 2 and 4. 2 is the original that I played growing up, and arguably the best Settlers at its core.
4 turned it into a fun Smurfs like experience. You had Romans, Vikings and... Aztecs? And this weird tainted soil mechanic. It was fun and silly.
Later titles leaned hard into some really odd mechanics.

Even the new one sucks
orchid prism
Even the new one sucks
They did an open beta of the newest one a while back. And it was panned so hard by everyone. It was a sight to behold (and play)
feral ferry
How hard can it be to make an RTS/city builder
There are so many good games that do that
Stronghold is the main example
small comet
stronghold best game
feral ferry
I didn't like 1 or Crusader
I played the hell out of Stronghold 2
3 was.. a bit of a mess but there's some fun if you can ignore the myriad of bugs
And the new one, Chieftains? That one's a bit eh as well
They need to reinvent the genre, cause they are doing the same thing they did 20+ years ago
It's just a tad bit boring
small comet
i didnt like 3 at all
feral ferry
They really need to expand on what they want to do with the genre
It's a bit too small scale for me, in a way
A lot more economy, a lot more size, a lot more variety
Can't be hard to do, Total War exists
That.. exists
And has existed for a long time
Really?
