- Comment on NVIDIA's Dirty Manipulation of Reviews - YouTube, Gamers Nexus on May 19 2025 [22:05min] 1 week ago:
I hope AMD rethinks their decision to abandon the high end because NVIDIA being the only option is going very badly
- Comment on I'm a console gamer so, Why the hate on the Epic Games Store? 1 week ago:
Iirc the epic store didn’t even launch with a cart
- Comment on The 'deprofessionalization of video games' was on full display at PAX East 1 week ago:
Yeah corpos love their metrics - even though as soon as you measure them they cease to be useful as people will be gaming them. Not to mention they can only show a small part of what is actually happening.
- Comment on The 'deprofessionalization of video games' was on full display at PAX East 1 week ago:
I’d add that it’s not that larger studios want more impressive graphics that’s the problem but that their games are often monetized to hell and designed by committee to be as marketable as possible instead of being someone’s vision brought to fruition.
- Comment on Fortnite now lets you chat with Darth Vader using generative AI speech [Eurogamer] 1 week ago:
Talking to characters in game would be cool, talking to chatgpt that’s been told “you are darth vader” is not
- Comment on Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 doesn't require reflexes, says player who beat the game without dodges or parries 2 weeks ago:
Yeah I 100%’d it on hard and stuff will one shot you regularly. You don’t have to parry everything but you do have to parry most of the attacks.
- Comment on GTA 6's delay doesn't mean the games industry's in trouble - it's already dead 3 weeks ago:
I’d say
If AAA games encompass your entire view of the gaming industry, you’re a lost cause.
The rest is redundant
- Comment on How Clair Obscur’s Composer Created An Incredible Soundtrack 3 weeks ago:
I need someone to translate it all
- Comment on How Clair Obscur’s Composer Created An Incredible Soundtrack 3 weeks ago:
I loved the gameplay as well, it seems like a fresh take on the classic turn based jrpg formula
- Comment on Pearson complaining about using Linux to access my course material 3 weeks ago:
I’m guessing it’s the default message for any non-whitelisted os and it was written assuming you’ll be on an old version of windows and not linux
- Comment on [Digital Foundry] Oblivion Remastered PC: Impressive Remastering, Dire Performance Problems 4 weeks ago:
I had to use upscaling to get it to 60 but there’s certainly worse
- Comment on [Digital Foundry] Oblivion Remastered PC: Impressive Remastering, Dire Performance Problems 4 weeks ago:
It’s because there’s a lot more optimization you can do on a fighting game vs a big open world, it just doesn’t have to render that much comparatively.
- Comment on [Digital Foundry] Oblivion Remastered PC: Impressive Remastering, Dire Performance Problems 4 weeks ago:
No I’m saying that it being a fighting game meant that it’s much easier to optimize because you have such a fixed camera angle and few characters on screen.
- Comment on [Digital Foundry] Oblivion Remastered PC: Impressive Remastering, Dire Performance Problems 4 weeks ago:
Idk I think the only one of those on that list that I’ve played that ran well enough that I’d consider it ok was tekken and I’m assuming that’s more because it’s a fighting game.
- Comment on [Digital Foundry] Oblivion Remastered PC: Impressive Remastering, Dire Performance Problems 4 weeks ago:
As soon as someone releases a UE5 game that doesn’t run like ass
- Comment on Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 hits 500k sales in one day 4 weeks ago:
Yeah haven’t felt that way idk
- Comment on Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 hits 500k sales in one day 4 weeks ago:
Audio has seemed fine to me, have only need the subs for the characters that aren’t speaking a real language lol
- Comment on Seth Rogen’s Trump Jokes Are Edited Out of Awards Broadcast | Mr. Rogen said President Trump had “single-handedly destroyed all of American science.” 5 weeks ago:
“Edited for runtime“ it’s a youtube video not a TV movie
- Comment on ‘Brooklyn Nine-Nine’ Has the Most Words Per Minute of Any TV Show, Study Finds 1 month ago:
I would have guessed always sunny
- Comment on Ubisoft’s Colorblind Simulation Tool, Chroma, Now Available For Public Use 1 month ago:
Microsoft/Xbox has been pretty good on the hardware side with their Xbox Adaptive Controller
- Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 Launches on June 5th Worldwide; 1080p Screen With 120 FPS and HDR Support, Docked Mode 4K Resolution Support Confirmed 1 month ago:
I’d bet that’s using a lot of upscaling in both modes
- Comment on Spectre Divide shutting down six months after launch reminds us how hard it is to make a live-service game 2 months ago:
Because they’re designed to suck up as much time as possible. You can easily have half the time soent in live service games but not half of the gamers playing a live service title at any given time.
- Comment on Steam Deck / Gaming News #4 2 months ago:
Not even the same quality, piracy is often better either because they combined multiple sources to get better quality or because streaming services won’t even give you the quality you pay for without jumping through their hoops. To the second point, Netflix stopped supporting pcm 5.1 audio on their desktop app so unless I have to pirate the shows I’m paying for unless I want to watch in stereo.
- Comment on Nvidia’s RTX 5070 Founders Editions will be a few weeks late, as punters and sellers brace for launch day shortages 2 months ago:
Punters?
- Comment on Eurogamer: we can't recommend the PC version of Monster Hunter Wilds 2 months ago:
DP is working fine for me, it could have been a botched upgrade and got just have to try again (or DDU)
- Comment on Eurogamer: we can't recommend the PC version of Monster Hunter Wilds 2 months ago:
It seems better on launch with the nvidia driver for it than it was during the first open beta but I think they’re right with the overly aggressive culling and texture streaming causing issues. They said it’s still more than playable at 4k60 with my 3080ti and I’m having a blast
- Comment on Let's discuss: Pokémon 2 months ago:
They got too big and just feel like a vehicle to sell merch now
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
Yeah after reading that I used tracker.gg to look at my match history and it seems like around 1 in 10 quick play matches were bot matches, I watched the replay of one and it was pretty obvious. No competitive matches at least
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
I hear people say this but I’ve yet to see it, usually just toxic people calling the losing team bots
- Comment on NetEase reward US-based developers of live service hit Marvel Rivals by sacrificing their jobs to "efficiency" 2 months ago:
The US and Japan dev teams aren’t the only people working on it, there’s still the “core” team in China, though still doesn’t seem like a good move
