I dunno... you'd have to be some kind of super fast gamer... a speed runner even. Maybe have a world record.

[tough jay]

Loved the comments under that one yea

[orchid prism]

Never played it, likely never will. Also had blissfully forgotten that weird stock photo AI voice thing.

[fierce bay]

Aight yall…guess the game. Finally it running flawlessly at 4k on my pc with raytracing enabled.

[vivid wharf]

bloodborne

[fierce bay]

No 😂

[unkempt panther]

oh my

[fierce bay]

This game came out back in 2003

[unkempt panther]

Oh I know, Tenchu: Wrath of Heaven

[fierce bay]

I can’t tell if yall are kidding

[novel umbra]

sonic heroes

[unkempt panther]

you said it came out in 2003 hmm

[fierce bay]

Did the pic of it not send in chat?

[novel umbra]

no but that is such a classic game that guessing the name is not really a challenge in any way

[fierce bay]

Oh it’s showing the pic sent on my end. It’s The Simpsons: Hit and Run.

[novel umbra]

if you do that at least use something more niche like this

also getting that to run correctly was somewhat of a struggle even back then

I remember it having a ton of texture issues

[vivid wharf]

for the alliance

[novel umbra]

smh

[grizzled quarry]

Nintendo's doing more patent tomfoolery and IP lawyers are getting involved. Funtimes.

[daring birch]

Command & conquer

[compact oriole]

...

Japanese Ubisoft I'm telling you

[hardy merlin]

Ubisoft is only making shitty games and DRMs
Nintendo is way worse

[hardy merlin]

NO WAY

[small comet]

nice mod

[hardy merlin]

Nah, it's real

I'm going to check

[small comet]

what

[orchid prism]

The Welsh are at it again.

[small comet]

where

[hardy merlin]

Apparently on some bug planet

[novel umbra]

rude

just call it the UK

[nimble current]

it is indeed real played on it the other week

[drowsy hornet]

Borderlands 4 SOON! (for UK drillas)

[hardy merlin]

Any good games soon though?

[drowsy hornet]

Yes Borderlands 4

[hardy merlin]

But fr tho

[drowsy hornet]

Don't be sad your pc can't run it

[hardy merlin]

You've chosen really poorly a person to pick on about that

Just enough for Tarkov

[drowsy hornet]

I'm so glad I escaped

When I was off work for injury, I played 2500hours in just under 7months

[verbal nymph]

If you're a real fan, you would get a second job to be able the run the game at 4k 30fps

[drowsy hornet]

I've got a 7800x3d & 4090 just chilling in a drawer behind me

[hardy merlin]

@small comet It's on Crimsica

[hardy merlin]

9.71 and 63%, nice

[hasty shore]

who here has experience with valorant dropping frames

[compact oriole]

Can only tell you about dropping valorant.

[compact oriole]

Sux they cancelled their metroidvania

[orchid prism]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_DsFSiDVCQ

ohboyohboyohboy

Just another week and change.

[cold anvil]

Borderlands 4 has an 84 on metacritic, I'm quite surprised. now to see player reviews in an hour

[small comet]

the critic score on metacritic is pointless imo

the player score is all i care about on metacritic

[cold anvil]

https://tenor.com/view/fnb-get-this-man-a-true-gif-25257480

[orchid prism]

Did that new Stalker get ever get good with patches? I recall there being a lot of complaints on launch 😄

[small comet]

idk was fine when i played it a month after launch

its still a ue5 game so perf is meh on some setups

but i didnt encounter anything gamebreaking

[cold anvil]

I think they're on patch 1.5 and are still planning to do more

which is wild but I respect the dedication

it shows that they care about their game

[small comet]

yeah they hammered out tons of patches right after release as well

[hardy merlin]

Wait, it releases today?
I thought next year

[cold anvil]

yeah borderlands 4 comes out today

in an hour

or 2

[small comet]

lol cals

[hardy merlin]

It was announced quite recently, so I thought they aim 2026

[novel umbra]

like 90 mins

technically right if we take the mean

[keen scaffold]

What hour does the Dune Free Weekend launch today? if anyone is following and knows.

[orchid prism]

Free Weekend is start today at 17:00 UTC / 19:00 CEST Time

According to Steam forums.

So... another 2 hours and change

[orchid prism]

It's time. Time for profitssssssss

(Starting a new game as the greedi lizards in X4)

[compact oriole]

any euros tryna play bl4 tonight? im lookin for people

[small comet]

yes but imma solo it first

not like ill download it super fast

[hardy merlin]

So it turns out that with 5090/9950X3D and DLSS BL4 averages 80fps

[small comet]

so first: helldivers

[small comet]

we knew that already

[compact oriole]

well cals didnt even know it comes out this year

so its news

[hardy merlin]

Didn't saw you talking about it
Just that there will be a patch

[maiden tulip]

We habe benchmarks?

[compact oriole]

gameplay and jackfrags released his too

and some stupid graphs with mfg 4x, so you can calculate actual fps

[novel umbra]

same

don't wanna play it at someone elses pace

[compact oriole]

man i cant imagine playing bl solo. if i dont find anyone im not gonna play it at all until i do

[hardy merlin]

So it's time to wait for patches and at least 75% discount

[maiden tulip]

Is there non nvidia benchmarks

[novel umbra]

ig I will test it with MFG on

[maiden tulip]

Also... what if you lower like

[novel umbra]

but I doubt I will like that

[maiden tulip]

1 or 2 settings

[compact oriole]

not that i know off. but take 5070ti perf and /4 if you have a 9070xt

[maiden tulip]

It's probably fine with like... 1 or 2 things on high

Max settings just break every damn game nowadays

[novel umbra]

no preload for a 109gb game is kinda funny ngl

[maiden tulip]

Like

I don't care about putting a few things on high

[small comet]

inb4 its bigger

[maiden tulip]

Often times you literally can't tell the difference

Andnit just hurts performance

[hardy merlin]

So the best GPUs on the market can't run another UE5 slop, got it

[maiden tulip]

UE5 max settings are near indistinguishable from high tho

They're clearly meant for like

The future

[nimble current]

that goes for most games these days though

[maiden tulip]

Honestly i think devs should do what ubisoft did in the avstar game

And hide max settings behind a launch option

[hardy merlin]

Sure, not that the game is not optimized at all
5090 must render it in 950p and upscale it to 1440p, this is fucking ridiculous

[maiden tulip]

And call them unobtainium instead of max

[hardy merlin]

Wait, why do I care, it's not like I'll play it anyway
Back to Helldivers

[maiden tulip]

Literally half the time it's just UE5 GI killing performance for no visual improvement

[hot spire]

I mean when crysis came out even 8800 ultra tri sli got like 30fps on high XD

[maiden tulip]

Helldivers which... still has a bug i reported on launch that tanks gpu utilization

[hot spire]

that was the start of the insane high settings thing

[maiden tulip]

Literally

This

Max settings are supposed to be like tech demo settings

[hardy merlin]

Which runs beautifully and I have to set frame cap

[hot spire]

but also crysis looks amazing at mid settings

[maiden tulip]

but i've been able to reproduce on 4 rigs

[nimble current]

my 8800GT managed 25fps on high in crysis

[hot spire]

doubt

maybe 800x600 no aa/af

[nimble current]

think I had a 1280x1024 monitor or smth like that back in 07

[hot spire]

aa/af tanks cryrsis on tesla

there isnt enough memory bandwidth

[nimble current]

but high wasn't maximum, very high was

I played through the whole game at like 15-25 fps avg

[hot spire]

ah its been a while i always use the premade benchmark settings

which includes aa/af on high liekly

yeah i see 8800gt dx9 high is 40 fps

thats better than i though

[nimble current]

haven't played crysis since it released p much

[maiden tulip]

Also helldivers runs like shit on any machine with a slightly older cpu

[hot spire]

dx10 would be rough though

[novel umbra]

a game well known for it's launch-performance

[maiden tulip]

Something grapgics settinfs do not fix

[nimble current]

yeah 8800gt was a midrange beast for its time, wasn't that far off the gtx in terms of gpu performance

[maiden tulip]

It's still poor

[nimble current]

but less vram

[maiden tulip]

@bleak pike how does helldivers run on your 5600 and 3080

Again

[nimble current]

was kinda hard to get hold of one because they sold like hotcakes

[maiden tulip]

• @nimble current also had issues xd

[hot spire]

oh i was thinking of warhead

[novel umbra]

yea and it used to be a lot worse

[maiden tulip]

And it's stuff you can't fix by lowering gou settinfs so like...

[novel umbra]

neither that or bl4 touch monster hunter wilds tho

[hot spire]

warhead was the rough one

[nimble current]

I thought warhead was better optimized

[hot spire]

it is

[nimble current]

I member it looked even better than og crysis too though

[hot spire]

it just has insane max testures and effecs

not much difference

[nimble current]

haven't really gotten blown away by the graphical fidelity of games quite like I was with crysis back then

[hot spire]

even still look how bad the fps

[bleak pike]

Poop

[compact oriole]

aight soo.. any euros gonna play bl4 when it drops and wanna join up incl voice?

[bleak pike]

Although I only played the city map

[hot spire]

yeah it was good just ran like ASS

i had a x700 pro and it wouldnt play

then i got 5770 cfx and ran ok

[nimble current]

well at least it looked stunning for the performance tradeoff, these days you got mid looking games running like ass

[grizzled quarry]

Marvel rivals

Game looks like hot garbage and runs like it too

[hot spire]

if only cysis was as good of a game as it looked XD

[small comet]

huh

not 100gb

i expected quite a chunk above 100gb

dl is roughly 65gb

[novel umbra]

I think install size is similar btw

[small comet]

i cri everitim

[novel umbra]

disk useage and DL has been quite consistent

[small comet]

ye

[small comet]

hm seems i also didnt get the preorder bonus

[cold anvil]

let us know how it is! really curious about this game

[small comet]

@novel umbra and @fringe salmon are also in possession of it

[cold anvil]

thanks for letting me know

[small comet]

oh the dlc just showed up

[compact oriole]

bro

5090, 3440x1440. everything maxed, i get less than 60 fps in a closed room

[novel umbra]

man do people really not notice MFG X4?

feels like heavy mouse smoothing to me

[grizzled quarry]

Wtf

[trim rock]

But the graphics are INSANE!

The Crysis of this generation!

[compact oriole]

it looks good for a bl definitely. but not good enough for this shit perf

[orchid prism]

Derp. FSR4 was never on the table. Game's running Vulcan not DX12

[digital dawn]

BL4 dropped and it runs like shit

I LOVE UE5

[cyan pewter]

like any modern game

[digital dawn]

its literally Stutterlands 4 bro

people are on 14900ks and 5080s and are getting barely 60fps

[orchid prism]

https://store.steampowered.com/app/3599510/oiia/

[cyan pewter]

but guys just use dlss/fsr and mfg

[digital dawn]

I love vaseline

[maiden tulip]

It doesn't matter

Because it sold

[hardy merlin]

This is 70€ game?

Alright, someone pinch me, Poland actually got exactly 70€ price

I mean, I still won't pay 300zł, because I can have like 2 weeks of food for that, but still

[sinful cobalt]

Just use Green Steam

[hardy merlin]

I hab blue

[orchid prism]

Refunds exist.

[maiden tulip]

You can't leave a review on a refunded product

[vapid lintel]

Get ratio'd

[hardy merlin]

Thank

[maiden tulip]

random but

why is return theft not allowed but piracy is allowed here @vapid lintel

🤔

[vapid lintel]

All I see is a chart of random numbers, could mean anything

[maiden tulip]

I mean cals mentionned it was seeding several times in the chat

[vapid lintel]

Cals loves Linux, I'm sure they're just seeding tons of different Linux distros

[maiden tulip]

i mean...

He literally posted a screenshot of seeding the latest metal gear like 2 weeks back

#🎮│game message

[vapid lintel]

Could be anything really

[maiden tulip]

i'm just saying it looks kinda bad

[hardy merlin]

Bad how?

[maiden tulip]

because it's still theft?

[hardy merlin]

If I make an identical copy of your car, have I stolen it?

Alright, no more screenshots if you wish so

[maiden tulip]

If i have a broken good, i swap out the serial numbers keep the good one and return the broken one is it theft? They're undistinguishable from each other

[sinful cobalt]

If u own nothing how is that stealing

[maiden tulip]

It's just i've seen people get taken down on discord for piracy

It'd suck ya know?

Not trying to start shit just saying be careful?

Like look at what happenned to the emulation discords

[compact oriole]

dashi are you buying bl4?

[maiden tulip]

not yet

i have other games to finish

• hopefully it will get some patches

And a discount

[fallow bronze]

a deep discount

[hardy merlin]

Interesting
The Finals is adding Denuvo Anti-Cheat and Anybrain to the game
Both work mostly in cloud and game will still be working on Linux

[compact oriole]

never heard of anybrain

and denuvo also has anticheat?

[autumn depot]

I like how they pretend that the majority of emulator users rip their own games

[hardy merlin]

Yeah, they do signature checking of files and memory, similar to DRM

[trim rock]

For now...

Until one day they pull the plug

[daring birch]

Anyone have a fix for microstutters in hell let loose? 7600x3d rx 9070 xt latest drivers and firmware

[daring birch]

Yea but my god denuvo eats up my cpu and makes me lose a lot of frames. I dont play games that use denuvo

[sinful cobalt]

Idk i don’t notice that and i play games that uses denuvo

[compact oriole]

i usually dont buy games if they have denuvo

stellar blade was my exception and bl4 i got with my gpu

tho i bought sb as a key to give them less money on purpose, cz i dont wanna support it

[sinful cobalt]

I mean i dont even look up or look if games has denuvo in it

[daring birch]

One sec i’ll look through my phone for the comparison graph i had of denuvo vs no denuvo

[compact oriole]

more often than not it impacts performance and as long as they dont fix it im not up for it unless im giga hyped for the game

also often denuvo means the game sucks

good games dont need such an invasive anti piracy measure

[sinful cobalt]

If they fuck up the implementation sure

[daring birch]

Techpowerup did a test im too lazy to scroll my phone

https://www.techpowerup.com/review/denuvo-performance-loss-test/

[sinful cobalt]

I mean its not something that i care

[daring birch]

No i know but you asked i provided

You didnt ssk but i provided

Anyways im dumb eagle. Hi

[sinful cobalt]

I never asked for it tho xd

[daring birch]

Hi im dumb eagle

[sinful cobalt]

And i dont care if i loose 5 fps with denuvo vs no denuvo

[daring birch]

Only time i truthfully care is if it makes or break the fact if im able to sustain at least 60 frames or not. If denuvos making me dip below 60 it bothers me

[sinful cobalt]

If its a multiplayer game i just lower my graphics to medium and dont care, single player/story games i just use High

[mellow garden]

You guys don’t have flagship everything?

[pure bear]

mhh yes corpospeak

[compact oriole]

Won't help for max settings either way

I can't comprehend how a game with such a simple art style runs so badly

This shit straight up runs worse than cp77 fully maxed with path tracing

[verbal nymph]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DWBSSbjtv74

1080p DLAA Lowest gets barely above 60

mmm, it's the kind of performance I expect 3060 to do

[orchid prism]

jfc 😄

The graphics look... weird. Why is everything so high sheen and reflective, if it's cell shaded?

[small comet]

ngl that might be a graphics issue on low

my game doesnt look anything like that

[orchid prism]

It's also present on higher settings.

[small comet]

just normal borderlands for me

[orchid prism]

Look at the guns. They're not supposed to be shiny - at all

That weird machinegun sniper rifle he lugs around halfway through the video really shows the weird. So many bits and pieces, and it is so heavily shaded and shiny everywhere. Cell shading is FLAT.

https://tenor.com/view/thurston-waffles-eyes-glow-gif-21980929

[small comet]

oh i thought you mean the weird reflective ground on low settings

[orchid prism]

It's mostly noticeable on guns, because it's so close up and takes up screen space.

[small comet]

thats a thing since bl3 though

guns being reflective

[orchid prism]

I haven't played BL since the first one, so... 😄

But yeah - Compared to 2 and 3 and it sort of crept in over time.

[small comet]

in bl3 a lot of plastic guns also were shiny though

[orchid prism]

2 looks like the gun is a single surface. The entire thing either reflects or not at all. 3 starts to add detailed and angles to it.

[compact oriole]

Bl4 on max looks really good. I'm surprised

I like the direction

[small comet]

so far my main complaints are some gameplay related things really

like removal of auto health regen

[compact oriole]

I'm still tryna find people to start with

So I only tried the spawn for like 20 min

[small comet]

unless you have friends that wanna play with you it might be a challenge to find strangers to play with

most wouldnt be sure about the pace you wanna go so theyd solo first to know the game

[compact oriole]

Solo mentality. Idk it's a campaign. You walk through it and have fun in voice

Not tryna farm gear in Diablo or Poe

[small comet]

yeah but some people like doing just the story, some wanna do all missions, some pick and choose what to do and what not to do

thats what i mean with pace

aka the literaly pace of the game

[small comet]

i personally might even wait a few months or patches to roll in cause i had some weirder small issues like the world models disappearing

[small comet]

@compact oriolebtw you got a non wooting keyboard?

[compact oriole]

I do own one still, why?

[small comet]

can you check smth in bl4? pressing both A and D results me in running right always. wanted to see if im not insane and its actually the game having shitty SOCD

and someone claimed their friends apex pro doesnt do it but their wooting does (i only have wootings so cant check)

[compact oriole]

I noticed this too. On my wooting I only have it enabled In certain games and it did that without that setting enabled on mine nevertheless

I'm at work until 5pm. So I can only try this evening

Oh actually it might be in the cellar lol.. I'll ask people I know

[compact oriole]

That's interesting. I asked in another community where I know people play. Will see if I get an answer

[narrow junco]

Asked my friend who i dont think has a wooting

He always goes right

[compact oriole]

Huh

Doesn't even stop moving?

[narrow junco]

Not from what ive heard

[small comet]

na its like SOCD but always prefer D when both are pressed

normally games do a neutral resolution

so you can actually fix this with wootility socd by setting it to neutral lol

[vivid wharf]

@compact oriole have you finished the gaem

[vivid wharf]

some nerve cells have been lost, but overall a gorgeous game

just like the original

The lack of a Castrol livery in modern racing games is a mistake. We used to be a country.

[vivid wharf]

pog, I just finished act 2, and I think I've done pretty much everything you can before finishing it, took my sweet time with secrets, wishes etc

[vivid wharf]

are you aiming for a certain ending or just trusting your gut?

[compact oriole]

I got the first ending in ss. Didn't do more yet

[vivid wharf]

have you checked if it lets you continue the playthrough before the ending like in og HK?

after doing the first ending

[mellow garden]

I don't know

[compact oriole]

I need to do stuff to be able to advance. Haven't done it yet

[vivid wharf]

ah ic

[scarlet marlin]

playing the game blind so

[compact oriole]

Is your ss first ending or true ending?

[vivid wharf]

I was playing blind but I did everything I could before the final boss

so I got handed a certain quest which is probably for the true ending, knowing HK and similar games

[compact oriole]

Ok, ye

I did all exploration but ||not all wishes|| yet. So I'm sure it has Smth to do with that

[bleak pike]

Insane deal

90bucks

just wait for it

[scarlet marlin]

oh deff!!

[mellow garden]

My wallet is already hating this Nintendo Direct

[scarlet marlin]

yoshi game looks cute

[mellow garden]

Kids game but that's alright

[scarlet marlin]

its nintendo

its always gonna be a kid game

[compact oriole]

Nintendo only makes kids games

Just many adults enjoy em CZ of nostalgia

[scarlet marlin]

being an adult doesnt mean you cant enjoy kid friendly games anymore, sometimes we should need something chill

[small comet]

being an adult doesnt mean you have stop any child thing.... i mean ill gladly admit to eating dino nuggies

[mellow garden]

Me collecting bananas after a hard day at work

[scarlet marlin]

we have dino nuggies here>

[mellow garden]

Wait, Dinkum wasn't already on Switch?

[scarlet marlin]

i had never heard of this gameuntil now tbh

TOMODACHI LIFE 2

[mellow garden]

I have it on Steam and gifted a copy to a friend. We never played it much because of, err, problems. 😔

[small comet]

some import shops have them

[mellow garden]

Dinkum seems like a decent game though.

[small comet]

usually expensive as heck

the other option is get a 1kg bag of nuggies and just build your own dino

[small comet]

hell yeah my gf will be happy

[scarlet marlin]

lets goooooooooooooooo

[small comet]

now they just need to drop prof layton

FINAL FANTASY VII (@finalfantasyvii)

That’s not all, the remake trilogy will also be making its way to Switch 2, Xbox Series X|S and Xbox on PC as well as PlayStation 5, Steam and Epic Games Store!

X · Sep 12, 2025, 2:48 PM

[outer pollen]

Okay I’m buying a Switch 2 for Fire Emblem

I want a limited edition switch though

[orchid prism]

It releases for the Switch 2, and also the Switch 2.

Thanks, Square.

[outer pollen]

so cool

[iron oak]

YES!!!

Finally love for greninja in the games!!

[outer pollen]

Better pics

[iron oak]

I loved chestnut but I always went with greninja cause I could get a mega baulbasaur so glad to see him getting that love

[outer pollen]

[cold anvil]

Nintendo Direct was pretty good

Not as good as the switch 2 direct buy better than the partner showcase

[outer pollen]

I hope new fire emblem is as good as Three Houses

[maiden tulip]

I still am so puzzled as to

Them announcing a dlc before the game releases

but like they gave me mega raichu so...

[outer pollen]

I guess better to know it's coming than a surprise?

[compact oriole]

kinda nice of them to tell you theyre planning to ask for full price for half a game to give you dlc for a mark up a couple months later

good guy nintendo strikes again

[maiden tulip]

Sword and Shield and Scarlet Violet both felt like complete games even without the dlc

So hopefully they keep it that way?

[compact oriole]

when did they get their dlc?

like how long after coregame release

half a year later (looked it up)

idk im very wary when companies insta announce paid dlcs. and if a dlc comes out within only a couple months imo its reasonable to assume they coulda shipped the content with the base game but chose not to

[verbal nymph]

I can imagine them finished with the game not long before but after seeing its performance on switch 1, decided to port it to switch 2 instead. With the extra time, some of the team make a extra content that becomes DLC. Either that or they want more money

[mellow garden]

Hell yeah, we're gaming now.

[verbal nymph]

ayy, does it actually have the same display as virtual boy?

[mellow garden]

No, you put your console into it.

[outer pollen]

@maiden tulip okay these are cool designs

[maiden tulip]

Omfg

[verbal nymph]

even the left one? It doesn't look like it has a spot to insert the switch

[maiden tulip]

patamon vibes froncthe one on the right

https://tenor.com/view/digimon-patamon-gif-19607152

[verbal nymph]

the description is the same as cardboard one though, but looks like a plastic to me

[mellow garden]

https://youtu.be/0aXT9wzOLFg

[verbal nymph]

okay that's cool

[fallow bronze]

Wtf..
It's Google cardboard all over again. And that was fun, but also sucked

This doesn't look anything like an English novel.

[fallow bronze]

Had it already been a week heh

[small comet]

no this is worse

[fallow bronze]

Can it be?

[hardy merlin]

[mellow garden]

Already forgotten that Pokémon Pokopia has an unspecific 2026 release date. I want it now.

[outer pollen]

@maiden tulip okay got Cronos

[maiden tulip]

Good

[pure bear]

modern gaming

soon we will get dlc announcement before the game is even announced

[trim rock]

DLC will be buyable before the game itself

[orchid prism]

Please pre-order the GOTY Collector's edition for our upcoming game CODENAME: RIPOFFE

[mellow garden]

The new DLC for Donkey Kong Bananza is good.

[fading spade]

ayoooooo we got modded muse dash back xd

[hardy merlin]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p-k5MPhBSjk

[fading spade]

...level 30??!!!!

[fading spade]

nah. not lanapost cause the context is before Cals message

[nimble current]

which 99% of us has no clue about

[fading spade]

still has context even if you dont know what it means

[orchid prism]

So you claim.

[nimble current]

if nobody understands the context its still a lanapost

[hardy merlin]

I usually do

[orchid prism]

If a Lana posts in a forest, and no one understands it, what colour is it?

[hardy merlin]

That is a trick question
There's no reception in a forest

[orchid prism]

[small comet]

ok no more bl4 for me i guess

it crashed 3 times on me for no reason

[nimble current]

https://tenor.com/view/randy-pitchford-badass-girlboss-queen-greasy-gif-13993645821501511882

[hardy merlin]

Like Linkin Park:
Waiting for the patch that never comes

[small comet]

well i got hd2 in the meantime

so no loss

[nimble current]

which is probably even buggier somehow

[orchid prism]

Yes but you shoot them.

[hardy merlin]

Over 100-ish hours I played I only fell through ground like 2 times and mostly ragdolls are flying funny
That's about it

[nimble current]

I wish you could shoot all the bugs in the game

after 900 hours in it I've seen a proverbial encyclopedia of glitches and bugs

stuff that gets fixed then breaks the next patch, gets fixed, only to break again

[hardy merlin]

Yeah, their version control is clearly broken

[nimble current]

they could really improve their playtesting and qc, so much getting rolled out half baked

but their release schedule has been insane

[iron oak]

All excitement I had just got killed by this standalone statement

80 dollar game and then a 30 dollar DLC both purchasable before it’s even out

I’d personally be fine if the DLC wasn’t announced till after the game had been out for awhile

[nimble current]

nintendo cucks deserve it

[iron oak]

But that’s just so fucking greedy

[compact oriole]

i mean.. isnt that what every game with an included season pass already is that you can buy for 90-130 bucks

[nimble current]

millions will buy it without hesitation because nintendo, they know this already hence why they do it

[iron oak]

SV + DLC was like 100 bucks

I had fun sure but performance and gameplay wasn’t anything to write home about

[compact oriole]

whats sv

[hardy merlin]

Scarlet/Violet

[sinful cobalt]

can we just get games for 20$

[hardy merlin]

The fact that Pokemon is still alive and going is surprising to me
Nostalgia is a cash cow

[compact oriole]

you can. hollow knight silksong

[hardy merlin]

Silksong

[iron oak]

I’d have to get a whole new console just to play this new Pokémon game and pay about what $130 just to have a full game that may not even run that well or be back graphically cool the large increase in price in general is not warranted for what someone is receiving as a consumer gameplay wise

I’m buying silksong and going to play that on my pc fuck Nintendo dawg

[sinful cobalt]

i have 1 hour of playtime in the previous title so no

[maiden tulip]

who would ever buy pokemon products

[nimble current]

pokemon overrated and well past its prime anyways

[sinful cobalt]

yeah

[maiden tulip]

Itnworks on the old switch tho

Wtf are you on about

[iron oak]

Will it perform decently at all?

[compact oriole]

well, its time to give it another shot

[maiden tulip]

Well it's not out so

shrugs

[iron oak]

If it runs at least somewhat decently, I might get it for my switch one

[hardy merlin]

With how Sword/Shield and Scarlet/Violet turned out... nah, it's better to just skip that

[maiden tulip]

Legends arceus ran perfectly fine

[compact oriole]

wdym perfectly fine? 30 fps on 720p with drops to 20?

while looking like a gamecube game

[maiden tulip]

considering the hardware it was fine

[compact oriole]

cz thats what sword was

[hardy merlin]

Um... no... Considering hardware BotW looked better and ran better

[compact oriole]

botw at release at least ran like absolute trash too

did look better tho

[hardy merlin]

Game Freak realized they can be absolute lazy asses and their game will still sell Pokellion copies
So why bother

[nimble current]

a nintendo epiphany

[compact oriole]

why make good games when you can just retroactively sue better games with patents you just pulled out of your ass

[hardy merlin]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/195907610640121856/1416154820775121016/h0ckvll8gqof1.gif

[sinful cobalt]

just like anyother big game series
look at COD

[compact oriole]

"summon shit from a ball?" a patent, "summon shit and ride on it?" apparently also a patent

"summon shit and let it fight each other?" apparently also a patent now

should be illegal to be able to patent game mechanics ngl

[nimble current]

having trainable monsters in your game, clearly nintendo invented that

[compact oriole]

the only reason nintendo isnt even more hated than ubisoft and EA is cz they make popular games

[proper basin]

Rip capcom

[nimble current]

nintendo fans are worse than apple fans at this point

[sinful cobalt]

nah both ass

[nimble current]

at least apple don't go around suing their users or brick their devices left and right

[proper basin]

Poor smt

[compact oriole]

i mean, im not gonna fault people for enjoying something and supporting it

[nimble current]

I am

[compact oriole]

lives too short to give a fuck if you enjoy it

[nimble current]

blind zealots makes life worse for everyone

[compact oriole]

im sure you support stuff thats pretty bad one way or another too

if you already were gonna buy a handheld console and they make games you enjoy

your outlook on what they do is different

[nimble current]

no not really, except for maybe eating meat

[compact oriole]

and as much as i love to shit on nintendo, its not like selling dlc before the game is out is a new practice. literally almost every aaa game has been doing that for years

including dark souls 3 from 2017 or whenever it launched

[iron oak]

I have never heard of that before that’s insane

[compact oriole]

almost every game is coming out with a more expensive version that includes dlcs these days

this isnt really different

[vivid wharf]

yeah, season passes etc

it's been a thing for a while

[nimble current]

but I extremely rarely buy new video games, and particularly not from asshole companies like shittendo, ubishit or electronic abominations

[compact oriole]

ye but thats cz they dont make games you want in the first place

[hardy merlin]

Yeah
Gotta to shit on them too

[compact oriole]

or rather youd have to buy into a console to play nintendo games which is a 500$ investment to get into that ecosystem

[nimble current]

I am very far from the type of dork who blindly buys a game based on some franchise it belongs to

[compact oriole]

ye but people dont buy pokemon cz its nintendo. they buy it cz they enjoy it

[nimble current]

how do they know they'll enjoy it before they buy it

[hardy merlin]

I hate on Nintendo because I loved Pokemon when I was smol
And what they do now, shit quality games, overpriced everything, being greedy and exploiting nostalgia
It's just sad

[compact oriole]

cz they enjoyed every other entry, wdym. and its obv more of the same

[hardy merlin]

Between Gen 9 and say Gen 4 there's absolutely no comparison

[cyan pewter]

https://tenor.com/view/muhehe-cat-muhehe-muhehehe-cat-muhehehe-smirk-cat-muhehe-gif-17142133339517585968

[compact oriole]

i see what you meant by franchise. i thought you meant the company but you meant the ip

[nimble current]

just because I enjoyed the previous game in a series doesn't mean I'll automatically become hyped for the next entry, or buy/care about it

[hardy merlin]

Eh
Imma take my DS and play some LeafGreen in bed
Toodles

[compact oriole]

theres no series of games you enjoyed and youd be more than inclined to get the next one?

[nimble current]

you can enjoy something and move on, doesn't have to slavishly buy every subsequent game

[compact oriole]

ye but people want more of what they enjoy, which is why there are 25 cods or smth

[cyan pewter]

FUCK ITS ANOTHER PYRO CHARACTER 😭

i need to get her and changli now 🥀

[nimble current]

and these people are why we increasingly can't have nice things

[compact oriole]

ye but theyre enjoying it, so they do have nice things

[nimble current]

nah they'll buy it, complain how it sucks and how the franchise used to be better, forget about it then buy the next entry, rinse and repeat

[compact oriole]

every pkmn is giga successful. so clearly thats not true for the majority

what youre seeing is people on reddit or the web talking shit like us. thats not representative

you read online and according to people wow and cod have been dying since insert entry here then you look at sales and sub numbers and theyre making billions to this day

[vivid wharf]

why do you care so much? the industry is huge, ofc there would be AAA slop or cringe mobile gaming on every corner, but there are still good games to be enjoyed

[nimble current]

its the same thing with terrible movies, anyone with half a brain cell can tell it sucks ass from 5 seconds of the trailer but they'll still go see it then complain it was a waste of money

[compact oriole]

well it sucks when something you enjoyed turns to shit

[vivid wharf]

yeah but the old stuff doesn't go away, can just enjoy that occasionally

no need to consume every new thing

[compact oriole]

well but how fun is it to re-enjoy the same shit youve played. i liked a lot of games but im not gonna go back to play smth i played already

[nimble current]

because the masses brainless consooming encourages increasingly shitty business practices that we all suffer from

[compact oriole]

i dont understand this supportive culture around remasters either. i HATE that shit and im mad every time one comes out and is successful

why are people not demanding new good entries. why are they so blinded by the nostalgia

when blizz announced wc3 remaster people went wild and i was like.. bruh.. why are you not asking for wc4 instead

[nimble current]

because we're in a culturally stagnant slophole

[vivid wharf]

I guess it's all a circle, cause they can remaster a game that used to be loved and cant make a brand new good game

so there's profit to be made in remasters and stuff

[compact oriole]

i understand why they do it. its no cost and no work for huge return

i just dont understand why people love it so much

[worn dome]

minecraft remaster when

also opinions on the fantastic beasts movies?

[vivid wharf]

a generation of millenials being hyped about a shiny new version of a game they used to play

[compact oriole]

the only times im ok with a rehash is when its an old game ive not played and i wasnt gonna play the old version. like mafia 1. i really liked the remake

but also it was an improvement on the original game i think

[vivid wharf]

I can get behind that in the sense that I vote with my wallet and don't buy every new cod and assassin's creed etc, but also there's millions of people who do because they are not invested into this, they just play bideo games occasionally and just buy whatever is current

so I choose to not care and enjoy my fromsoftware games and such

[compact oriole]

enough people enjoy the slop. its easy to make and generats billions

aight im up too late already. ima head off, gn8

[maiden tulip]

I like the games

Don't regret spending my money on em

Somehow it triggers people that I'm having fun

what unreal engine 5 game looks ultra realistic??

[orchid prism]

The tech demos.

I have yet to see a released title that utilizes UE5 in a way that makes me go "Huh... yeah so that's why UE5 is used"

[compact oriole]

It's used cz it's super easy to make shit and look good automatically

Just that noone cares enough to work on optimization apart from embark

[cyan pewter]

valorant did okay at implementing ue5 performance wise but theres been quite a few bugs

[compact oriole]

Val is ue5??

[cyan pewter]

yeah been so for a month and a half now

[compact oriole]

It is.. wtf I didn't know

They prolly took out everything but the bare minimum

Game looks like css

[vivid wharf]

took the unreal out of it

[compact oriole]

Is Val still locked to 16:9 max?

I did some act 3 boss early in silksong and It was one of the best I've fought so far. Also finally accessed act 3

[cyan pewter]

my monitors are both only 16:9 lol

ue5 slop is just next gen unity slow

Can't wait to see what Forza Horizon 6 looks like

I’m hearing the Upcoming silent hill f should be atleast decently optimized but we don’t know the specifics because it was just based on feel with gameplay demo they had at gamescom, but we won’t really know until the game’s out on September 25th

[cold anvil]

The game is coming out on switch 2 so I am very hopeful for the optimization!!!

My 3070 has suffered enough with UE5 games this year lmao

I find it funny that Nvidia is pushing for path tracing when nobody has the hardware for it

It's a great game to play alone too. There's nobody judging you for spaghetti factory structure that way

[sinful cobalt]

yeah i played an hour

[acoustic night]

I feel called out

[cyan pewter]

id make it a spaghetti on purpose if people were watching

It's kind of neat to see he's expanded to using community reach for better fixes than the ones he makes.

🤢 Bedrock now change the opacity of blocks if you get too close to them

tinted glass too.... yikes

hostile mobs turn invisible when near you.... wtf

With how shit PC gaming is lately, Shit performance, invasive kernel level anticheats, singleplayer games that need 24/7 internet connection and DRM protection running in the background,
Feels like all the AAA game devs are trying to force people back to consoles so that they can restrict the player base more with no sales or mods for the games and they wont have to invest in anticheat anymore

[grizzled bramble]

Indie games is the way but haven't been that bad with performance but the latest game i played was Mafia:TOC

https://store.steampowered.com/app/3763820/Shooty_Shooty_Robot_Invasion/ Bought this one because I liked the art style, don't know if it's good yet will play it in due time

Here's a few other ones I'll be picking up also sometime

[compact oriole]

Almost everything you mentioned is the same on consoles wdym

[grizzled bramble]

Dying light : The beast is coming next week which will be interesting

[fading spade]

Surely BL4 runs solid 60FPS on console?

Thats the point of consoles, to run at stable 60FPS in basically every game (ignore the Switches) cause the game can be optimised to that exact hardware

[maiden tulip]

Consoles are powerful nowadays

Most people playing on pc play on shittier hardware than a ps5

[maiden tulip]

With drops here and there in the 50s when lots of enemies are on screen but nothing too bad

[maiden tulip]

CAT

[worn dome]

ur telling me thats not a kill

[compact oriole]

What? Many games have been running with only 30 fps

And consoles use low-mid settings and heavy variable resolution to keep the fps target

You can do that on pc too. Just looks like ass

[cyan pewter]

no you missed and she walked into the tracer

[fading spade]

on the PS5 and Xbox Series X??

[maiden tulip]

yes

i think one of the big problems is

pc folks with old ass hardware thinking its still powerful

like

part of it is optimization on something like BL4 where it runs very meh even on hi end system

but honestly a lot of it is just people running shit pcs

[fading spade]

IDk , saw someone today with an RTX 5090 and Intel Core, getting only 84FPS at 1080P

[maiden tulip]

Well ywah he was cpu bound

With an old core 11th gen

The game literally is just cpu bound

[maiden tulip]

dont use badass settings

problem fixed

[compact oriole]

Well bl4 is the worst running game ever. When cp77 maxed with path tracing runs better than your game you know you fucked up

[outer pollen]

Poland

[compact oriole]

I do wonder how ue5 games run on console these days

What's the fps target on those and the equivalent settings on pc

[sinful cobalt]

yes

[maiden tulip]

they run fine even on fucking switch

xd

[compact oriole]

Well ye but what settings and what's the target fps

I already know it's gonna be 30 on switch on the few titles that got even released on it

With 720p and maybe even variable res

Not to speak about the terrible visuals compared to PC/ps5 ccounterparts

Wait I lied

[compact oriole]

There's not a single ue5 game on switch

[maiden tulip]

switch 2

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2tPvLuU_JxQ

[compact oriole]

540p 30 fps..

In cronos

Settings worst possible

So ye.. it doesn't run. It walks

[pure bear]

what a surprise

[compact oriole]

It's not

Or where ever it was shown

[vivid wharf]

don't fromsoftware have a proprietary engine?

[pure bear]

wasnt er the one that wasnt allowed to be shown lol

[compact oriole]

So do cdpr. But apparently their ports arent

Also switch 2 has an Nvidia chip so on top of 540p they also prolly run dlss

[vivid wharf]

wouldn't it be too much work to port everything like that? from footage it doesnt seem like the engine is different, also im looking it up on google and it seems the game uses the original engine

[compact oriole]

Hm I'm only finding 1 publication claiming cp77 is ue5 on switch

Maybe its bs

[vivid wharf]

yeah seems like bs tbh, maybe they wrote that using AI

[compact oriole]

I deleted the ue5 claims. Seems they were bs

[rough stump]

how is cp77 going to run on switch

[trim rock]

Yeah it makes me wonder though, is it easier to make a separate version of the same game built in UE5 vs porting the original game

Or rather, port the game to UE5 rather than port its engine to some new platform

[rough stump]

you forget that they probably wont do the port, they can just pay a small studio to do it

[cyan pewter]

If they didn't delete all of the content they made people pay after some time I'd have tried the game again to do all raids I missed

https://borderlands.2k.com/borderlands-4/news/nvidia-optimization/

Lol

[grizzled bramble]

Expected FPS: 60+ FPS lol

[compact oriole]

30 1080p when lower than 3070ti is wild too

cinemati experience

[mellow garden]

Perfectly timing a rocket with a lightning strike to go from 21st to 1st on the final lap. Got the whole Mario Kart lobby absolutely fuming.

[grizzled bramble]

Yeah

Didn't really care about FPS back in the day when playing games on the SNES, GBC, GBA, PS1, PS2, PSP etc. But games stuttering nowadays is really irritating

[outer pollen]

@maiden tulip I'm sorry but the combat is so dog in this game

Like how are you gonna give me the stiffest movement and shittiest melee ever and not give me a dodge mechanic

[grizzled bramble]

Yeah should've been in the game

[outer pollen]

Did you beat it?

[grizzled bramble]

No I've only read about the clunky combat and scarce supplies

Was thinking of playing it but got busy with other things instead and Autumn sale is incoming

[outer pollen]

i forgor

Like a dodge function in this game would have been amazing

idk wtf bloober team was thinking

[grizzled bramble]

It's a different approach, seems like they want you to move & also feel vulnerable

[outer pollen]

Like not even a 180 turn function is insane to me

Dead Space didn't need a dodge function cause the melee was good

[grizzled bramble]

Yeah

[outer pollen]

the story has me intrigued so far though

[grizzled bramble]

That's good

[outer pollen]

This one better

[maiden tulip]

There's upgrades to those things as you go on

:P

Also supplies arent a problem if you play intelligently

[grizzled bramble]

I see & yeah will probably be fine

[outer pollen]

I know a lot of you are dead set on playing at 4k with ultra max settings and using two or three year old hardware. You do you, but BL4 and UE5 are doing a lot and for me that trade off for frames isn’t worth it. I play at 1440p with settings super high and am super happy with that trade off - the game looks amazing at 1440p. If you’re not 4k stubborn and just want to have a great, fun time with higher perf, please consider running at 1440p resolution. If you’ve got a beast of a video card, you’re probably fine at 4k. But if you’re in the middle or close to min spec, I would definitely recommend making that trade.
