If we go about the history of Rockstar games, I don’t think we expect many bugs and such issues. If anything, people will complain about performance and graphics. And car handling. And woke. And woman.

Happens with hyped games all the time. GTA 6 is not the first one. My suggestion is, just not to read the posts about GTA 6 if you see them. That should do the trick. In example I know I want to play Final Fantasy Revelation, so I do not watch trailers or read more about it. At this point I have seen too much and anything more is just spoiler.

Haha. At least you can play as long as you have skills. Well games were a bit unfair, but that’s another story. Yeah, I’m glad we don’t have pay to win anymo… oh… never mind.

Looks like you won’t miss anything. These look like cheap Ai slop generated slop slop.

How is this even legal? They blatantly use styling and brand recognition to imitate popular brands for selling their products.
- Comment on DLSS 5 comes with a massive 50-60% performance hit, so I hope you like lower frame rates with your dose of AI image enhancement 4 days ago:
It is. According to Nvidia, DLSS is a family and brand now, consisting of different technologies. So the name DLSS started as upscaler only, but now it contains the image styling and other techs in the same name. Which is great, because it confuses everyone.

Divide 300 minutes (that’s 5 hours) by 30 days, to see how many minutes you can play every day: 10 minutes. If we have 15 hours per month, that’s 30 minutes playtime every day.
I miss the old days where I just popped in the disk, disc or cart in and start playing without internet reliance.

I’m actually not worried for the entire industry. There will always be companies, big and small, who are not developing with Ai (or very limited). And games need to work well on non Nvidia hardware too, meaning games have to be something playable without DLSS at all. At least in near future I’m still hopeful. In far future, who knows.
- Comment on DLSS 5 comes with a massive 50-60% performance hit, so I hope you like lower frame rates with your dose of AI image enhancement 5 days ago:
In that answer, I forgot indeed. And the DLSS 5 image styling on top after upscaling… First Ai: Image upscaling, on top second Ai: DLSS 5 styling, on top third Ai: Frame Generation. And that assumes that the original input image from the developers was created without Ai. I mean Unreal Engine has some builtin Ai features and so on.
- Comment on DLSS 5 comes with a massive 50-60% performance hit, so I hope you like lower frame rates with your dose of AI image enhancement 5 days ago:
Yes, but also it does not matter if framegen is on or off. Using DLSS 5 to change the faces is a 50 to 60% hit in performance. Lets say the 5090 gets about 60 fps in average (at 4k, Ultra Settings and RayTracing on) as an example. That didn’t look good to Nvidia, so they boosted those numbers with framegen on at 6x times, to get an average framerate display of 370 fps. Which also increases latency BTW, which Nvidia does not disclose here, as it would look bad.
Each those diagrams and numbers Nvidia put on screenshots, look down at the bottom it says Multi Frame Gen 6x. It’s small, most people would miss.

Just one 6th of it.^^
- Comment on DLSS 5 comes with a massive 50-60% performance hit, so I hope you like lower frame rates with your dose of AI image enhancement 6 days ago:
Exactly (we almost posted at the same time, where I explicitly talked about this in the other reply, lol, also with 10 fps as example. :D). There is a reason why Nvidia does not share the latency. I have no idea how this is legal.
- Comment on DLSS 5 comes with a massive 50-60% performance hit, so I hope you like lower frame rates with your dose of AI image enhancement 6 days ago:
This is how I understand it too. It is 6x frame generation means 6 times the amount it had before. If it had 10 frames before, then 6x means 60 frames in total, which are 50 of them fake frames. Note to anyone reading this: Frame Generation is also adding lag. So anyone saying Frame Generation is increasing performance just because the numbers go higher, did not understand what it is. In fact Frame Generation is decreasing performance.
Now imagine you use DLSS and RayTracing, and to feel good you add Frame Generation. What an abomination is this?
- Comment on DLSS 5 comes with a massive 50-60% performance hit, so I hope you like lower frame rates with your dose of AI image enhancement 6 days ago:
Looking at the basic performance charts Nvidia has provided us so far, the ultra-high frame rate figures are based on 6x Multi Frame Generation.
Let this sink in for a moment.
- Comment on DLSS 5 comes with a massive 50-60% performance hit, so I hope you like lower frame rates with your dose of AI image enhancement 6 days ago:
I wouldn’t use it, even if it was adding performance. Nvidia really found a new technology that is even worse than Frame Generation.
- Comment on Sony lawyers argue that nobody is stupid enough to believe they actually own digital games, because then only one person could buy GTA 6 6 days ago:
Sony lawyers are stupid enough to argue about nonsense. Nobody was even thinking of owning GTA 6 because they purchased a copy or license to use it. Do I really have to explain a lawyer, that owning a license would mean that Sony has no rights to take the license away after you purchased it? We are arguing over owning the license to play the game, not the franchise. Also look at GOG, where you can even own the stuff you download, in the sense that you are in control of it.
Does anyone remember NFTs? Right, this scam thing with the apes. But honestly, just like any other technology NFTs could have solved the ownership of a specific license to a game problem. Because it guarantees and proofs that you own the license, independent from any launcher or company, almost like a disc or cartridge. So from technology wise it could be solved if they wanted to. But they don’t.
- Comment on PCSX2 2.8.0 is now out! | PCSX2 1 week ago:
You are right, I misremembered it. The e8400 didn’t have hyperthreading. I guess the drawback of the q6600 with 4 cores was, it had lower speed at 2.4ghz compared to the 3ghz on the 8400. And that hurts a lot the single core performance, which is much more important for emulators. That’s why you had this back and forth between both CPUs. I also didn’t really understood all of that back then.
- Comment on PCSX2 2.8.0 is now out! | PCSX2 1 week ago:
Mine is the e8400 and it has 2 cores (+2 hyperthreading). The q6600 has 4 (but no hyperthreading, I think). BTW I was thinking to upgrade to it back then. Off course it also depends on the GPU and RAM too. I have researched in web now a bit. I found someone reporting with a similar setup I had (minus the CPU, as mine was e8400):
I’m trying to run as many (good) japanese PS2 games as I can on a computer that has an Intel Core 2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2,40GHz, 8GBs RAM, and an AMD Radeon HD 5700 series, and to my surprise, I’m very limited by the number of titles that run more or less decently, when this PC hardly has a problem running most Gamecube games (with Dolphin), or Dreamcast (with Flycast) games I feed it. Heck, for what very few original XBox titles I more or less managed to run (with Cxbx Reloaded), they run better! Castlevania Curse of Darkness for example.
Now this bugs me even more, because I should have tried Dolphin and Flycast too. Would be fun to bring it out again and try some stuff. But I’m not that bored enough to do that right now.

Metal of honor
Ah yes, the famous rhytm game spin off from Medal of Honor. Haha sorry, just poking and joking around your typo. Loved it to read.
- Comment on PCSX2 2.8.0 is now out! | PCSX2 1 week ago:
I did not test it yet, will need some dedicated time for this kind of stuff. Its still quiet early. The RetroArch forums started discussing about it recently (it was mentioned before, but most didn’t care at that time). I assume with “sensitive pressure” you mean the 4 face buttons? I don’t know if RetroArch itself supports sensitive pressure at all (i honestly doubt it, because I never saw such an option before). I also have no Dual Shock controller to test that.
- Comment on PCSX2 2.8.0 is now out! | PCSX2 1 week ago:
The RetroArch community recently started a new fork of PCSX 2. And I don’t mean the LRPS 2 core, that is a hard fork and developed differently from the original. The new fork is called PCEE 2: github.com/WizzardSK/pcee2-libretro This is much closer to the original PCSX 2 emulator, trying to be as updated as possible. And it can be found in the RetroArch updater too (if you can use the builtin updater of RetroArch), at least on a desktop Linux, not sure about other platforms.
- Comment on PCSX2 2.8.0 is now out! | PCSX2 1 week ago:
but man I remember running pcsx2 on a Core 2 Duo
I still have my PC with Core 2 Duo (not using it). The highest I would have tried to emulate was Playstation 1 back then, wouldn’t even think of trying PS2 emulator. Let alone the emulator wasn’t as good as it is now.

I think this is one of the reasons why Nvidia developed this. First it makes it a “unique” feature of Nvidia hardware, where you rely on. And secondly the huge impact in performance, so you are incentivized to buy new and faster Nvidia hardware. I don’t see any other reason why Nvidia would develop this DLSS 5 Ai Slop technology.

- Comment on Is Old or New Call of Duty better? 1 week ago:
So your question is not about the games itself, if they are better games, but what style of game world you prefer. I personally was never a fan of the old realistic World War styled games (Medal of Honor, Call of Duty, Battlefield). I prefer Modern Warfare and Black Ops or one of my favorites, Titanfall. That does not mean the old games are worse, its just I do like the newer styled game worlds more.
I understand that some people want a grounded and more realistic, almost simulation like experiences of real world war scenery. There are even games focusing on that, at least on PC, like ARMA 3 or the new ARMA Reforger.
- Comment on Experimental Build Of Nvidia’s DLSS 5 AI Slop Filter Leaks And Turns Beloved Video Game Characters Into Uncanny Valley Weirdos 1 week ago:
It takes any personality away and averages out to something that looks like in anything other. And then does not even fit into the art style and world of the rest of the game. Still image are one thing, moving and eventually speaking or making facial expressions together with other characters in a scenery is a different thing.
This might improve games that were vibed together with Ai in the first place. But not artistic strong and beautiful games crafted by good artists.
