I haven’t played the game yet but i wonder if the sequel would have same effect as Hogwarts legacy, given that it is probably the best Harry Potter game in decades. More of same might not be a big global phenomenon maybe.

KCD perhaps? It gave my very Skyrim vibes despite being far from it and mechanically superior in my opinion.

Unpopular opinion but I actually like ubisoft, they’ve their own space in gaming and their games are good junk food games.

It’s simple. Chase money.

Do you primarily game on mouse or controller?

My work macbook can only do 60 while my Rog Ally can do 120, and damn the mouse feel of 120 is so much better that I hate my work laptop can’t do it.

In the interview they said how they show the game the way it is and focus on that part of development. They said how combat wasn’t worked on yet when they showed the game, which now looks pretty reactive. They’re going to focus on sound next and performance last, and when they said 30 it seemed like “bare minimum is solid 30”. Given the feedback, there’s a chance they’ll try to incorporate 60 fps now.

While it’s a design decision, UE is also a bit more scalable generally, assuming it’s not all reliant on lumen, nanite and vsm.

Either ways, they need to learn from previous 30 FPS launches and try to communicate better. Saying it doesn’t need 60 is dismissive to a large audience of gamers who don’t like the trade-off of frames over image quality.

It’s actually true.

He’s complaining that googlers aren’t killing products faster anymore because of the remote work. It was easier to just say “hey how about we kill gtalk” over on campus coffee shop discussions, but now they’ve to do that on Google meet and it limits the imagination of what all they could kill next week.

Just keep in mind that it is supposed to be difficult in the first few hours. But as you skill it starts getting easier to the point that you’re walking killing machine that can unlock any lock, speech check almost anything and buy the best gear.

Yes it is. It even has schedules for NPCs, activities to do, people reacting to your clothes or cleanliness, your hunger level or sleepiness, day night cycle, an interesting fast travel mechanism.

I also love their pickpocketing mini game.

Ahhhh, yeah

MKBHD wave form sound board.

120 hours in and I’m still playing Kingdom Come Deliverance. I think I like it much better than Skyrim. The only thing I don’t like about it is the missing crosshair for bows, but a simple console command fixes that for me. I’ve not yet completed the main quest lol and there are still plenty of side quests to finish. It’s crazy how the studio pushed CryEngine of all things into this interesting RPG. Puts Bethesda to shame honestly.

If PS4 -> PS5 isn’t a big enough of a leap for gamers and publishers, then I wonder what would PS5 -> PS6 look like? Is higher resolution at 60 FPS with better ray tracing enough?

Yeah the more I read it seems some crucial security software deployed bad patch.

I’m sure whatever OS would dominate would face widespread issues just by the numbers.

But to be fair it’s fun to make fun of Windows/MSFT :p

Linux and Mac just got free advertisment.

I think it is already happening gradually. SteamDeck has single handedly opened the eyes of so many already. M1 Macs did that for macOS as well.

Could it be that consumers are putting money where there mouths are and this is just Microsoft desperately trying to increase their margins since their business isn’t growing anymore?

I mean the more people move away, the more likely it is Microsoft would milk the ones who can’t.

CoD on GamePass is too big of a loss I suppose.

Yeah it’s pretty cool. Sometimes the translation can even beat native performance.
