sins was a year later dosent have as good of multithreading
coh was the year before with no multithreading
also if you have issue with FA i suggest getting friends
AI is what hits the hardest
you can run 4000 units 60 fps
even back in the day
SC has native dual screen
and support for eyefinity and surround
it can do both
the dedicated map is still the coolest feature ever in a rts game
the second screen map has its own render thread
so it dosent hog cpu, only gpu
you can then have a second view on the main screen
for three renders
idk what other game dose anything like that

Regardless, CS2 is being published by Paradox. It is absolutely to be expected and counted on that there will be a plethora of DLC

On that we can agree. ๐
Paradox always manages to convince all studios they work with to keep a steady flow of DLC coming. And how can you blame them - It's clearly working.

Sure DLCs are ok by themselves
But Paradox is bullshit when it comes to bundles/editions
There's like 5-10 bundles, you don't know exactly which one contains which DLCs, and there's no bundle which contains all of them
It's especially the case with Stellaris and with Cities:Skylines
hot spire
That's because the bundles come out over time
And paradox is one that lets you discount from bundles for most games
So if you have an older bundle you can buy a newer bundle and get discounted the difference

But it's definitely a well loved series. I've always been more of a Civ 2 guy.
feral ferry
I only played Civ 5
Well, also 6 but I quit cause they changed too much
Bit of a mess 6 feels like, more sophisticated than 5 but not in a way that feels more engaging
orchid prism
Technically 5 changed too much. 6 was a return to formula.
The whole one unit per tile was a major change from 4.
There's a lot I still don't like in 6 though.
City states
Only one leader per nation (sans a couple of later DLCs) with very gimmick and specific playstyles
City defense and sieging
The UN (it is such a frustrating and slow mechanic)
No more colonial nations if you discover a different continent
No stacking armies
No built in map editor or solid modding framework like in the old days
feral ferry
The whole one unit per tile was a major change from 4.
I can hardly imagine a Civ game where you could stack units on a tile
orchid prism
That's how it was for the first four. You would had actual armies travelling together, and some units would do damage to the entire stack - like catapults.
Oh I completely forgot about districts. Fucking hate those.
They're such a "you're an excel meta gamer, so you know exactly where to place these spread out on a grid after spending 30 minutes calculating" thing.
solar lily
unit stacking was a noob trap in the first game though
feral ferry
Oh I completely forgot about districts. Fucking hate those.
Indeed, I hate that mechanic
orchid prism
Couldn't tell you - Haven't played Civ 1 since it was new. All I remember from it was that combat was dice rolls, and not in a good way.
A caveman could take down a tank if you rolled right.

yes, as I said noob trap
orchid prism
Thankfully you can mod out some things in Civ 6. Though not all. I can remove city states, but leaders that have a gimmick tied to them get nerfed. I can mod out city defenses and have proper city sieges where the defender isn't at a time advantage, the attacker is.
feral ferry
Defenders have a time advantage?
That makes no sense
Defenders will only ever have a time advantage if there's anyone to come and help lift the siege
orchid prism
Your city outranges siege weapons in the early to mid game.
feral ferry
Your city outranges siege weapons in the early to mid game.
That was a problem in 5 too
orchid prism
Your catapults aren't siege weapons. They are short range stone chuckers.
Yeah that's when they added it.
Civ 4 had no active city defense, only your units could shoot out of it.

Cities are best units in general until mid-late game
Especially against barbarians in early

in the esports scene this is a problem, since the someone already owns other teams
conflict of interest in CS for example, the buyer would own faze and they currently own team complexity for example

Yeah it's really terrible how this game runs, glad it's not one I was excited about

Doesn't look like great optimization but it's a "next gen" title so, eh

Digital foundry is defending it actually
Saying it's the best looking game ever made to date

Weird take that a 3070 can only do like 1080p low with dlss balanced , 540p internal res
I've seen videos but it better look insane
With what card? Lol
Game is poorly optimized anyways
Just like their other game
And just like Alan Wake 1 now that I think about it
Seems that is their legacy
Lol
A 1050 mobile is capable of playing cyberpunk 2077 at 1080 40fps low med
Gotcha
Not worth it
eGPUs lose like 50 to 60% performance
We're just not there yet
A external 4090 runs at desktop 3070 to levels
Good for a laptop, but what a waste
Money wise
Bandwidth starved as hell
Well yeah if you spend 2000$ on a enclosure and a 4090 on top of a like 1600$ laptop, you can achieve mid range desktop performance

Control is so fucking boring
I've tried twice to play through and start dozing off
They tried for this David Lynch style of storytelling and they just do not pull it off at all
Combat becomes tedious after only a few hours too.

I loved it.
Not many Xfiles games out there with, let alone with amazing visuals and worldbuilding.

My gaming time is just too limited lately maybe I will play it eventually.

Speaking of gaming time... finally made it back to Act 2... again. Again. Again. I will never finish BG3 ๐

Revently started cyberpunk 2077 will take another month or two before I finish it if I don't drop it.

Still holding off. Keep hearing about weird skill rebalancing.
tough jay
I am enjoying it so far, honestly for a single player good skill balance is not that important. I don't mind going for an underpowered strat if it comes to it.
At least my stadia controller is seeing some action during the driving and walking outside of combat.
Quite a good controller, just paired with a bad system
And I really cannot argue against the price

Marketing

*Marketing*

I might be one of the only ones who finds this whole superhero thing uninteresting
orchid prism
Somewhere there's a marketing agent who managed to convice not only Microsoft to spend half a mil on a dumb sphere gimmick, but Sony to "one up them" cause otherwise they'd appear poor ๐
feral ferry
Ads imo are a dead medium
My brain has been programmed to ignore ads
Marketing needs some revolution at this point cause they are failing to get me to care
You know what would actually get me to care? Playstation 5 jailbreak
tough jay
That being said 450k may seem like a lot but for the cost and marketing budget of the game it's really not that enormous.
- news outlets are picking up on the story as well.
feral ferry
Tbf superheroes wasn't really a thing in my country
We had the duck tales stuff, Scrudge, Donald, etc
I kept up with that
Original spiderman trilogy was a thing on TV here and was quite amazing to watch
But I am more into Lord of the rings and that sort of stuff
unique bane
But I am more into Lord of the rings and that sort of stuff
Watch Wheel of Time on Prime Video ๐
feral ferry
The Spiderman franchise reboot, imo, is a bit of an insult to the original trilogy
Some kind of teenager hip bullshit
Original had a sci-fi mature vibe to it, some serious themes, very good watch
tough jay
I have not played it but I like superhero stuff more in games than in other media.
Have not played the spiderman games though
solar lily
sci-fi mature vibe
pretty funny given Sam Raimi decided against making webs technology-based
also there been two reboots by now, although I guess reboot as part of the MCU franchise didn't exactly feel 'hip' as it did 'literal child'
feral ferry
That's the same reason why I hate Red Alert 2 whereas people claim it's the best thing ever
I grew up with Red Alert 1, it had this silly shit like time travel, but it tried to be serious about the whole thing
It didn't try to be humorous or silly, that's why I loved Red Alert 1
Red Alert 2 is a complete detachment from anything remotely serious
Dialogue is silly, cutscenes are silly, troops are fuckin silly
solar lily
incidentally the cutest boy we could find was another Brit
tough jay
I enjoyed it, for that.
feral ferry
I like when scifi takes itself seriously
When you make it humorous it doesn't work for me
Also why I like stuff like dead space and alien, but hate borderlands
Mad max is cool though
solar lily
for what it's worth though, the MCU Spider-Man was more thematically similar to the comic book vibe, while The Amazing Spider-Man had the more comic-accurate Peter Parker characterisation
Sam Raimi trilogy is just a bunch of films with 'Spider-Man', comic book source material had no bearing on how to make the adaptation
unique bane
MCU was good in the beginning but sucked when it turned humorous and not take itself seriously sometime in uhh, thor 3
tough jay
I like more abstract audio visual kind of things when it comes to super powered.
For example the Legion tv show was probably peak here, not a superhero though.

Wheel of time is pog tho

I don't want legion for the story but rather for the audiovisual presentation.
Not saying it is deep per se, just interesting to watch for me personally.

Wheel of time is pog tho
I am kind of done with watching shows so, not really interested
I still watch the odd movie every other year if they interest me, other than that consuming films and shows doesn't interest me anymore
I think 2 movies this year is the most I will have watched in the last 5-6 years honestly, watched Suzune no tojimari in April on my birthday, and will watch The Boy and the Heron this December
Assuming it even releases in December here, I hope it does
I haven't even heard of it until the netflix thing

That's the thing in elite, unless you go way out of your way... you don't matter. It isn't a you are hero sim.

Elite you can do things. But it is up to you to a large degree. (Fuel Rats and Hull Seals are an example. CODE for the Pirates was a good spot for a while.)

Elite is like an MMO but you remove all the serotonin of making you feel like something you did had an impact on the game world.
