I'd like to see a Platinum game where it's entirely possible to complete it without any attacking input from you, the player. As in, you can still dodge and parry, and attack if you want, but every battle could be finished with deescalation. A diplomatic Platinum game.

I would aim to pure platinum every chapter in that theoretical pacifist Platinum game.

Where is the pop-in in that Stalker footage? There is an unrelated stutter when the scope is brought up the first time and that's all I really noticed :confused:

Smoth as butter tho.

E: Okay I just watched the Halo 5 vid from a few pages ago and the pop-in is stupidly jarring. Keeping everything at their distant low quality is a better solution than that. wow.

its bad ot declalre anything running at less than 60 fpos completely unplayable and acitng like it s some crime commited by devs

also any console can achieve 60 fps on anything if u crank the graphcis down enough. except the vast majority of people a re happy with 30 fps outside of fighting games and games like cod, becuase 30 fps is not an issue.

The unrealistic speed and terrible animating make the stalker clip hella jarring. At that point just get rid of the arms/animation and do the gun view old school fps do.

If there's ever a OPM game there needs to be a "dream tutorial" and it needs to include a sale shopping minigame. But then you never get to play that minigame again.

I can tell the difference if you put the same game running at 30 and 60 in front of me, but when I'm actually playing all I notice is if it's stable or not.

not really. do i care if a jrpg or a singlepalyer based third person gmae is at 60 fps? lol no, pump those graphics up. do i car eif cod or streeet fighter is 60fps? hell yes theyre both fast paced and based on tight inputs and they are deved to a 60 fps target according ly.

I found Dark souls pretty awful without mods right of the bat, but then again I went in knowingly so maybe I was biased (or maybe it was that blurring effect, people were paid to crate and implement something comically awlful like DS's blurring effect lololol)

binding of issac, rogue legacy, crypt of the necrodancer, galak z, are all good to very good.
only rogue legacy is an action platformer like spelunky though and spelunky is way better platformer than it. (RL's draw is upgrading your family's resources to get stronger but has some slow and basic play mechanics when you go on a run)

Here's a good comment.
"for example, red alert 3 is 30fps in game, but the mouse cursor is 60, so playability hasnt been destroyed"
