Only in single player though.

Multiplayer reload speed is a knob for balance.

Depth to movement mechanics is one of the differences between mediocre and great first person games. Look at counter strike movement over the years. Players have extracted everything from the quirks of that engine, the game is better for it, and the skill ceiling for movement alone is enormous. That skill ceiling is important. Crouch jumps in particular have been in pretty much every game i can think of since i learned halo on the og xbox. even if they aren’t explicitly used by the game designers, there is often tricks you can do to exploit campaigns in fun ways, or maneuver the multiplayer with a higher level of expertise than others. Thats fun. Competitive but fun.

Compared to games where every mechanic is dead simple and everyone can do it, its more just rock paper scissors at that point. The designer gave a specific movement ability, you counter it with some other ability they designed. Its boring to me.

It shouldn’t be ignored full stop. It depends entirely on the game. A purely arcade shooter should probably ignore it and most do (halo, overwatch), but a sim certainly shouldn’t (tarkov, arma). And a mixed game can decide for themselves (battlefield, cod).

Some do this, tarkov is a popular example.

Pubg standalone may not have been first, but in its mod form for arma i think it was the first. Someone less lazy can probably look up the specific dates

No it didn’t, because ive not heard of anyone else with that issue. Even just trying very low settings your system still struggles?

They already mentioned delaying the first dlc from the planned Q4 2023 release to Q1 2024.

What, how? Are you just leaving the settings at default and giving up? They basically have said what is broken. If you turn those settings off it works alright.

The company making enough money to trigger said fees?

I dont support this new structure, but its not like these fees are attacking game companies which have no profits

Games that have been out for years arent going to hit the minimum 12 month downloads/revenue figures unless they are still very popular, no?

I dont agree with this downloads based fee to be clear.

This is what happens when a new console generation comes around. Just because you are on PC does not mean you are exempt from industry norms which are largely pushed by consoles. Your 970 was significantly stronger than the xbox one and the ps4, so you could use it for that entire generation if you wanted. Your 2060 is weaker than the xbox series x and the ps5, so should be no surprise that you use lower settings than those consoles.

Same with ssds. They werent required for so long because the consoles didnt have them. Now they do, and fast ones at that. So devs use them, and sometimes require them.

Now obviously starfield in particular is not a shining beacon of next gen technology and optimization. But those reasons you chose to pick on are not really examples of its failings.

Ratios will be fine if you simply don’t use quality modules in that specific build. Quality in = quality out.

The inputs are mostly the same, so implementing one essentially implements the other. Much like how implementing fsr2 is so similar to dlss and xess. (Which is why these mods came out in a matter of hours after early release)

DF was referring to a question about devs patching old games to add in fsr3 frame gen, as if its some simple toggle for games which may not even have motion vector or optical flow data already exposed.

Doesn’t mean we call them heros and erect monuments to them. if anything we place these objects in a museum dedicated to the group. We acknowledge their troubled past, difficult decisions, horrible actions, good actions, and learn from all of it. A sense of shame and humility doesnt make current Ukrainians bad in any way.

Red Wing always gets my recommendation. Spend the time to find a pair that fits you really well. Instead of ever buying a new pair in the future, send in your old pair to be repaired. They can resole (in and out) them, repair linings and stitching, etc. As long as the leather itself is still in good shape. Take care of the leather on your own at home and theyll last a long time. Ive had mine over 10 years now.

Yes. Now that all the consoles have ssds, devs are going to design their games around them. That means asset streaming is the norm. And that means hdds will cause massive pop-in and stutters.

Nobody wants exclusion of any technology, thats the entire point. Especially when its been shown repeatedly that once you implement one of the 3 (fsr, dlss, xess) techs, the other 2 take almost no effort to add in as well. So little effort that modders have managed to shove them in to games that exclude them for whatever reason, sometimes achieving it in a matter of hours.

All that said… Dlss is definitely better quality than fsr. “Some people might tell” is an understatement.

Your 3080 cant run frame generation because it wouldn’t improve your framerate with that gpu architecture. Just like software dlss wont improve framerate on a 1080.

Nvidia isnt some boogeyman holding back these techs because they just want to force people to buy new cards. They are definitely making tech that only works on the newest cards to try and get more sales, dont get me wrong, but its not arbitrary.

Theyre adding every single little thing that they can to reach that value. 401k matching, employer’s health insurance, vision, dental, paid time off, those are all big easy ones. But they probably have idiotic values for all the fine print benefits too. Think of free legal advice, financial advice, personal counseling, reimbursements for education opportunities, travel, uniform cleaning, etc etc.

Should it all add up to 100k and be boasted about? No… But of course they will anyway.

Its such a shame they wasted that name on such a dud. An actually useful AI helper named cortana is a no-brainer for them.

Exactly. Most good comedy uses that at least occasionally. Look at Always Sunny!

For them to not age well because of sexism/etc, it would have to not be comedically poking those topics.
