jokes posted:I got a 1080 and thought it was a waste over my 970 until I got a 1440p/144hz monitor and now I get very upset seeing my framerate dip below 80, despite it looking so gorgeous and way better than any graphical thing before. I wish I got a 1080Ti or better/newer. Mount and Blade has always had a weird abstraction where promoting a troop from a pitchfork wielding conscript to elite heavy cavalry costs around 500 denars total (getting them the exp is the hard part) but buying yourself even basic heavy armor costs like 50,000, if you can even find a shop selling it.

I can’t be the only one who hates the camera in animal crossing. You can’t zoom close or far enough and it’s fixed to one direction. I constantly lose stuff behind trees and buildings. It’s a kids game sure, but this is really annoying

Caesar Saladin posted:Yeah Shakespeare is telling you the story in a very specific order that he chose where he wants you to know the ending first. To use that as an example that all stories should tell you the ending first is really missing the point. its not like he decided that randomly, he did it for a specific effect where you're like "How are these kids gonna get themselves into this mess?" To use a relevant example, back in the day King Lear would have been a huge shocker to Elizabethan audiences who were all familiar with the tale. In most versions of the story at that point in time, Cordelia restores Lear to the throne and everyone lives happily ever after. Shakespeare uh, obviously does not do this and turns it into a straight-up tragedy where Lear loses absolutely everything. So even back in the day storytellers were already playing around with shocking twist endings that as a theatregoer in the 1600s you probably wouldn't want to be spoilt upon.

Bannerlord seems very underwhelming, it looks marginally better than Warband, but that's about it. Otherwise it doesn't appear to have more variety or polish, and the leveling up system seems annoying.

A good story is a good story regardless of whether you know what's coming. Sometimes I discuss story beats, when playing FFXIV, in either the guild chat or the general chat. I always try to hide any spoilers, as you understand them, and keep things generic enough that you can’t know what part I’m discussing unless you’re past that point. I still get people jumping et me for spoiling the story and I’m like:”what story? What did I just reveal to you that will poo poo in your enjoyment?” And then I usually get non answers like “any talk of the storyline at all is spoiling” and I’m just baffled. The few times I’ve pressed the issue to have them explain why knowing that “character A (which was described with a letter in my chat) reacts in such a way to character B (so there’s no way of knowing who the characters are unless you’ve seen the scene)” is a problem, they just devolve literal insane plot purism apology. It’s just grating -_-

A good story is a good story regardless of whether you know what's coming. it is better 100% of the time if you don't know what's coming, there is no situation where its not better to find out as you go along. Back before the internet it was way harder to spoil yourself and read summaries of things, its a new and modern thing to just be able to type in a movie or game and read a synopsis of the entire story. Like, every single time it is better to experience the narrative in the context of the actual thing instead of hearing some rando repeat what happened on the internet. A good story is a good story regardless if you know whats coming, but it is always better if you do not because there is actually a subtlety and artistry to the way information is given to you, and this is even more true when a story is well written and well presented.

Of course now midrange video cards are like $350. What midrange cards? The 1660 super is 230 bucks and can handle everything on 1080p/high settings. It can even do VR.

Those are either the 2060 (non-super) or whatever driver-issue riddled monstrosity AMD has at that price point. The 1660S is nearly as powerful as the 2060 for a hundred bucks+ less, it just doesn’t have the cool ray-tracing stuff or DLSS. 350 is basically the exact wrong amount to spend on a graphics card right now, you can either spend less on basically the same performance or spend 500 and get something that will absolutely smoke a 350 dollar card.

Make it detailed enough that people have flamewars over what companies electrical wiring to put into their car. F-Zero seems like the absolute last game that'd benefit from this, and we already have about half the racing game market be overly crunchy sims without the devs having to make up six different brands of G-diffusers for a game that's already about having to get the hang of the vehicle flinging across space at 700 km/h with everyone else literally trying to kill you. Kind of the problem is the middle basically fell out of the racing genre, it seems like, and now you don't really have much between crunchy sims like Gran Turismo (and arguably stuff like Spintires and even My Summer Car if you stretch it) and the other side of the genre that's basically mostly Mario Kart and its imitators. I think Wipeout is still quietly a bit of a thing, though that's always been more towards the Mario Kart end; Burnout seems to have gone extinct (though apparently there's a remake coming?) and Need for Speed's last gasp was pretty mediocre from all accounts. Not sure where Forza falls, but I do wonder if the middle of this genre died from a severe case of microtransaction gacha syndrome.

The new middle is Gran Turismo and Forza, 'simcades'. The middle you're talking about never died out, it just doesn't have an audience anymore. The Crew has an in-development sequel, Need for Speed has had a release every two or so years for the last decade, you have various smaller titles like Wreckfest, etc. They just don't sell huge numbers. Hardware and game budgets have gotten to the point where you can have realistic physics, but have enough accessibility options to make them playable by someone who isn't very experience in racing games. Stuff like auto-braking, guide lines, rewind, etc. So there's not really much a point to have a game with basic physics where you can slide around a pretend Ferrari with ease, when you can learn how to slide around a pretend Ferrari in something much more realistic and feel more engrossed and immersed in the experience, even if the game is holding your hand the whole way through.

Yet somehow plenty of developers get the physice SO wrong, and not just wrong to reality but wrong feeling in every way. The most recent Need for Speed game was like that, just loving ugly and terrible, everything feels bad even when you account for the fact that it's just an arcade game For Arcady racing games I really liked Grid 2019, Forza Horizon is fine as well although even more ludicrous. The ones in the middle I guess I'd call like F1 2019 where they go for some realistic physics but still maintain an arcady feel. Then stuff like Cars 2 or iRacing seem to be real actual attempts at simulations. I think what homeboy was really trying to say is it would be nice if you could get something that has effort put into good physics and "realism" while at the same time being completely unreal and branching out beyond cars and tracks that actually exist and into science fiction

It’s about 50 percent more oomph than the 1660, and it has all the ray tracing and DLSS bells and whistles, if you’re looking to drop 400 bucks on a card it’s a good choice but I’d recommend doing the extra hundred bucks and going for the 2070S, which is one of my favorite graphics cards ever. Anything past that is a lot of money for not a lot of gain. The 2080 is something that you buy to have a 1000 dollar graphics card.

It’s not as huge of a difference as the 1660S->2060S is. The extra power is mostly nice to have for ray tracing but with the new DLSS patch they put out you probably don’t even really need it anymore, that can nearly double your frame rate on the games that support it.
