Lmao, what a way to crash my interest for the game from "I'll probably buy it" to "maaaaaybe I check it out if it receives near-universal praise?" with a single news blurb.

Like not even dumb jokes you can recognize as jokes but don’t find funny it’s just incredibly boring talking. It’s like they took to heart the loud complaining about BL2’s humor and took it out but didn’t replace it with anything. Yeah, same. I enjoyed how mad the previous games were - they really went all-in on the weird stuff and I found that more appealing.

Did the FF7 remake port get sorted out? And is it worth it at the current discount price on epic? FF7 is one of my favourite games because I played it when I was 11 and I'd like to revisit Midgar!

Fortunately I forgot until just now that the game will be out day 1 on gamepass so I won't need to actually pay to see how hard they lean into the GAAS stuff.

I mean, depends on how they implement it, but it usually means that there's a long endgame grind with recycled maps. Plus a lot of time-limited events, so you need to log in and do certain tasks within that week or whatever if you want to get the exclusive items and cosmetics. E: on the plus side, there should be a lot of updates and new content IF the game is sufficiently popular and earns decent money from microtransactions. Or it could be abandoned and the servers quietly shut off after a couple years. Either could happen! It's live-service! Until it isn't!

Angry Lobster posted:As someone who has never played Destiny 2, can someone briefly explain why is that campaign format bad? it’s convoluted and confusing between yearly expansions, 3-month seasons, a metric shitton of microtransaction-only content that rotates in and out, and other things that don’t quite fit into any category, and the exact value proposition of many of the things you can buy is extremely vague. More pertinently, it’s a live service game that depends on constant updates except the devs still haven’t landed on a model and a pace that they can deliver on without friction after 8 years of making destiny. Meanwhile fatshark’s previous game launched as a buggy, broken mess and they proved they had no idea how to adjust things without breaking something else or to get basic bugfixes to stay in the code without being regressed by the next patch. there is absolutely no way they can pull this off as presented by that article unless vermintide 2->darktide is as much of a reversal in fatshark’s competence as vermintide 1->2 was.

Depending on which part of Destiny they're taking cues from it might not be the end of the world but it does not fill me with confidence to hear them compare the game to a notoriously microtransaction-laden FPS as inspiration for the direction of their game. Vermintide 2 launched in a lovely state too and required a lot of work to get to a good place without loving up something more in the process so it's a legitimate concern imo

Thanks, this sounds horrifying. I'm not filled with confidence that Fatshark can pull off something so ambitious without end up as a huge mess.

There's a scale for these sort of games with Left 4 Dead and Destiny on opposite ends. Ideally, they're mostly Left 4 Dead with some persistent bullshit for long term goals. You never go full Destiny.

this seems like the closest thing to a general pc gaming thread so i'll ask in here. i recently bought a laptop with a 3050 ti and a 120hz display, which is the first high-refresh rate pc display i've ever owned, and i'm getting extreme screen tearing in a lot of, but not all, games. sekiro at 60fps is really bad, gta 5 at 60 or 120 is also pretty bad, ultrakill at 120 tears if vsync is enabled in-game but not if it's disabled, which seems pretty weird. strangely hitman 3 gives me no trouble i'm not sure how to go about fixing this or figuring out why it's happening. i've tried enabling global vsync in the nvidia control panel (both "on" and "fast" settings) but that doesn't seem to make a difference. is there something i should know that i don't about how vsync interacts with high refresh rates? i would rather play every game at 60fps than look at screen tearing

it would be good to see the original quotes from the devs instead of the article paraphrasing them because the destiny comparison specifically could have been made up by the article, and the expectation is just that fatshark will add to the game’s story with major updates, which would be fine. either way, their track record means nobody should be hyped for darktide until it’s proven to be different.

Son of Thunderbeast is posting Concerned: The Half-Life and Death of Gordon Frohman over in PYF comics and today's installment came with a mid-2000s commentary on Steam. Some of you may find it interesting to look back at how it was then:Son of Thunderbeast posted:Steam is the online delivery and anti-piracy client that Valve used to distribute Half-Life 2. Even people who bought the retail version of HL2 had to create a Steam account and verify their copy of the game. Valve cracked down on pirated copies, banning some 50,000 illicit accounts.

I eventually watched a bunch of YouTube videos which explained everything but it just pissed me off more because I had missed out on those cool stories with no way to play them. The D2 new player experience is incredibly poo poo.

I've followed this guide w/r/t V-Sync when using a G-sync monitor. tl;dr turn it on in the nvidia control panel but leave it off in game.

The bottom line is that you should never need vsync unless you notice screen tearing. Or, as an outlier scenario, if you need to cap the framerate for some reason and there's no other way to do it. I've also been able to fix stuttering in certain games by either turning vsync on, or turning it off, depending on the game. I've never been able to figure out why sometimes I get screen tearing and sometimes I don't, there seem to be multiple factors involved.

I've also literally never noticed any difference in input lag between v-sync being on/off so I usually treat it the same way.
