I mean, I agree but what are you going to do about it? Even if they didn’t add features, itd be “supply chain issues” or some other made up excuse. Whatever it takes to get Jensen a shinier jacket. But I personally would rather have new features I may or may not use compared to no features for the same price.
Blaming GPU manufacturers for poorly optimized games is a bit like blaming forks for people being obese.
Yes, games should be optimized. Thats a given. But its not NVidias fault for making better, more performant graphics cards with new features each generation. Its the game developer’s fault for being lazy, not knowing how to use their game engine, and not optimizing their game. GPU makers could drop the most advanced card known to man and that would make no difference for developers. Its still on them to optimize their game.
The artifacting is way down compared to before. AI isn’t going anywhere, and I only see it improving with less artifacts in the future. In some videos I have seen some issues but its really unfair since to show them on YouTube they have to record at only 120 fps and slow the game to 50% speed, and even then they also get slapped with YouTube compression. I don’t know if the artifacts will even really be very visible or noticeable outside of some edge cases.
I am more curious to see if MFG can be used for games that have a forced framerate cap, or emulators.
No, you dont need it, but it wouldn’t hurt to have a smoother picture. A smoother picture of course would give a perceived performance increase. So while the card might only be an 8% increase, it could feel like more particularly for games that don’t require MFG to be turned off.
I mean, obviously the 5080 isn’t really worth the price if you already have a 4080, but still. No 50 series is worth the price if you already have a 40 series. Nobody in their right mind buys a new GPU every generation.
I wonder if MFG can be utilized for games with a game engine hard-cap on framerate, or with emulators to give a smoother experience without having to modify the game files.
Is that with or without multiframe generation? I am assuming without?
For competitive or fast action games you should have MFG off, but for games that aren’t so fast I could easily see MFG giving a very clearly smoother presentation, and that is only available on the 50 series cards.
Who is this game even for?
Obviously not me, but still.
They might not keep a game from going to a platform like Sony does, by literally preventing it from being ported, but thay doesnt mean they have to port the game. I don’t see what this is supposed to mean other than saying they don’t specifically prevent games from being ported (such as exclusivity deals).
Turns out when you stop selling something and close the stores people could buy them in, they dont sell as much.
Manufactured decrease in demand.
In other words:
“We ran out of time to add them and the investors want the game out NOW.”
“Its not OUR fault, its THEIR fault.”
Sure Execubro… Sure…
Not a good sign.
That’s pretty bad for something as big as Dragon Age.
Well no sex crime was kinda obvious. But just because its not a sex crime doesn’t mean its not a violent crime. Obviously not murder because 3 years for a murder would be crazy, but I was originally assuming some kind of physical assault or battery (possibly domestic violence), or something like serious injury while committing a crime / brandishing or discharging a weapon while committing a crime, such as armed robbery where someone got hurt.
It is strange that they claim to be a different person but they never turned themselves in or plead guilty or anything I guess? Like, I feel like a person who has decided to change would get that cleared up expeditiously, probably courts might be more lenient with the sentencing in that case.
“It isn’t anyone’s business,” but I mean, they are talking about it more. And there is a media outlet (admittedly Kotaku, lol) making an article about it. If it was a crime committed in the USA, thats public information, as is the court proceeding so if anyone knew them or wanted to know, they could legally get that information regardless. Seems like the developer should just not say anything and/or contact a lawyer for a public statement about it.
People are going to be curious. People are going to speculate. Thats how people work. Its going to come out at some point, there is no reason to try to obscure it now. If they really are different then they go in, serve their time, probably get out early on good behaviour, and everything goes back to the way it was more or less. Can’t change what happened now.
I did, and I really liked it. I am excited to see how the sequel holds up, the trailer was so whacky I couldn’t look away.
They seem to allude to a violent crime, as they said they “were a different more violent person in the past.”
Switching to Linux is literally free. It costs way more to get a license key for Windows than it does to just download Linux. People stick with what they know, and what they know is Windows is for PC, OSX is for Apple, and they may or may not even know anything about Linux at all. I would even go so far as to say most people would run Android for an OS instead of a traditional Linux distro.
Of course Windows is fine. Its the largest and most used gaming PC operating system. It couldn’t ever reach that status if it was as bad as Lemmy users make it seem. Valve could care less what you play on as long as they can sell you games to play on it. Which is great, I think more game publishers/distributors should be this way.
Competition is always great. To be fair, Windows wasn’t really designed with a handheld game console in mind as its target distribution platform. SteamOS, at least its current version, was designed for that exact purpose. Would definitely welcome a more lightweight Windows to come from this though, not just for handhelds but just regular desktops too.
It is hilarious to me that Lemmy users, who seem to mostly be obsessed with Linux (borderline Arch users except slightly less annoying about it), talk like Windows is such a massively hated OS when it is literally still the most widely distributed and used OS in the world. Like yes, so many people globally hate Windows which is why everyone keeps using Windows and not switching to something they hate less. Of course.
NetEase doesnt care, but probably as long as it makes money Disney won’t care either. Theyre not doing so well financially for Disney lately. The only reason theyre stopping this is because they can’t sell skins, not because of who the modded skins are of.
The funny AI presidents playing games together videos that unfortunately died off lately. Wish we could all get along like that.
Japanese law both enables and encourages this kind of behavior. Unfortunately, Japanese companies have been increasingly strongarming people to follow Japanese law even when it does not apply to them.
