Zaphod42 posted:Just read that PC version only supports 64-bit OS, is that standard these days? I mean I run 64-bit so IDK, but I think that could surprise a few gamers It's not standard but it's getting there, which should prove to be a good thing overall. Really though, if there's people out there still holding out, they need to just upgrade. 64-bit has been so much loving better than 32-bit ever was for me, and it's not like you can't just mod Windows to look and act like WinXP or whatever.

You all should have been running 64bit since Vista.

If it's not ideal, I can wait and buy the game when it inevitably appears on the Steam Fall or Winter sale and play once I get my new card. marjorie fucked around with this message at 04:42 on May 21, 2014 |

Devs have said a 670 is enough to play it on ultra (at most likely 30 fps), if the CPU is there, specifically one with a passmark score of 9000 or more.

Gamesguy posted:That loss is misleading. As a project GTA V has been incredibly profitable for Take-Two. You're looking at quarterly numbers during a slow quarter with no new releases. That's how video game publishers work. They make huge profits one or two quarters out of the year(or even two years) and on the rest they generally lose money. The article also says EA and Activision are down, but both went up by double-digit percentages after they posted their yearly results. That article is wrong and dumb.

If it is the case this game is hilariously badly optimized to require a midrange GPU but a new CPU. Why in the world are they using Passmark scores to determine if your CPU is good enough anyways?

I assume the minimum required processor is 64-bit right? so there is no excuse to not have a 64-bit OS if you have a machine that can run the game. I can't understand how I survived with only 32-bit computers, I need 6GB RAM just for my web browser. Edit: Of course it is , man this looks dumb.

So what turned people against this game anyway? I remember a lot of people being really optimistic and excited about it, but the general mood seems to have deflated if not outright turned now.

There was a significant graphics downgrade from what was shown in the 2012 reveal, as Ubisoft realized the new consoles wouldn't be made out of a zillion cores with terabytes of RAM. So people interpret this as Ubisoft blatantly lying to them when they showed the 2012 video.

I remember a lot of people being really optimistic and excited about it, but the general mood seems to have deflated if not outright turned now. For the most part it's probably just different people. I never commented on the game much in the past myself, but as the release date approaches and we're getting a better picture of what the game is, I posted about my concerns without writing the game off. The graphics downgrade isn't a concern for me, mostly it comes down to Ubisoft's track record with game elements that look deep/interesting at first but ultimately prove to be shallow and not well-considered parts of a cohesive whole.

We were all looking forward to playing it on our new shiny next-gen consoles and then it was delayed, game wasn't anywhere near ready to meet the hype gained and the videos we see now are apparently poor compared to the E3 videos back in 2012 or whenever it was. That's not me though, just what I hear when people are negative about WD, for me I don't care as long as it looks decent which it seems to and as long as the game doesn't end up boring me to death after 12 or so hours.

Probably has to do with the lack of gameplay shown so far. Almost all of it has been shown by Ubisoft themselves, so people are skeptical and making assumptions. Also some uPlay hate for good measure.

Pre-ordered the deluxe edition on Steam. Not sure I've got high hopes for it or not but it's only £45 and worth a punt. wonder if it has similar vibe to Alpha Protocol?

I still think it's gonna be a rad game but the initial rollout made it seem like there would be like, almost no guns or car chases and you'd be walking around the city hacking everyone's phones and getting into an awesome near-future Gibson novel plot and everything would be detailed and nonlinear and now the company is directly comparing it to GTA and there are guns and car chases and probably a lot less neo-noir than people thought there would be. I don't really give a poo poo about the graphics.

Much as I would have probably enjoyed that, even back then it should be pretty obvious it'd never happen. Someone said it a couple pages ago, Ubisoft likes safe bets for the most part. They're not going to make a crazy experimental storytelling RPG when they can make Grand Theft Assassin and rake in the trillions.
