Mamoulian War

The thing is, he called AC horrible racer, which is by no means correct statement. If he said AC is horrible arcade, I would not be bothered to react, because that statement is correct. And a statement that FH2 made him enlightened, and calling AC as a terrible racer, just made me hit my head with a table *rollseyes*

Seriuosly... you call Assetto Corsa horrible racer? OMG... I really have to question your sanity... it's the most realistic car similation, that was ever made for home entertainment systems and you call it horrible... Playing FH2 compared to it, feels like playing a games for toddlers... *facepalm*

Just clocked over 100 hours in Tales of Berseria and unlocked Chaos difficulty today. The more I continue, the more gets the story interesting. There is also lot of comedy skits, so I am having a blast and fun :-D I am enjoying it much more than Zestiria and Xillia 2, so far. We'll see how the game will go forward the closer I get to Final Battle. Also if you never played Tales of Zestiria nor Berseria. I would recommend you to play Berseria first and continue with Zestiria, despite being released sooner.

Fantasy General for free on GOG for the next 17.5 hours.

I am sorry, I just shut up now. I am just sad, that I have not started my career in Marketing, because now I experienced first hand, that hype can overcome not only reason and sanity, but newtonian physics as well *shrugs* The choice to pursue my career in programming cost me lot of money :'(

Well checkeboarding or dynamic resolution is another way how to "cheat" the human eye. Same as upscaling. Human eye is prone to fall for many illusions. That's why people like Houdini or David Copperfield were so successful *shrugs* I have heard similar stories how "our game will be running native full HD at 1080p" when we had PS3 vs XBox360 war, there was also tons of hype, but as soon as these games were released people testing these games found tons of different ways' how they cheated the 1080p resolution. The most notable was drop to 30 FPS, sometimes even lower. Being sceptical is in place IMO :D

Haha, now I need to subtly hint to my GM, that his campaign in Magnimar is missing Rusty Nail and goblins riding pig golems :-D Thank you :-P

Ok Sonic. Looks like you do not understand the math in this stuff, And optimization even the best programmer would touch it, will not overcome the limit of the GPU... Here you can check little bit about real info of the XOX GPU: https://www.techpowerup.com/gpudb/2977/xbox-one-x-gpu I recommend to read it all and compare it to other GPUs on the list. And note this sentence, which is bolded in the article: "We recommend the AMD Xbox One X GPU for gaming with highest details at resolutions up to, and including, 1920x1080." Which, in other word means no native, but upscaled 4K... You can optimize the software to run faster, but the power of CPU and GPU has physical limits.

I am sorry, but It is a fact. As I said optimization is not a magic. At some point you always hit a bottleneck, which you cannot overcome, wihout further modification. And that's where we come to the point, where we should point out that, modification is not equivalent of optimization. On optimization, you spent resources in man-hours. In modification, you have to pool into the project other resources as well. Which in the end means, that modified Toyota GT86 which is on par to Porsche 911 GT will end up costing much more than stock 911. Which is not the case of XOX. Aaand native 4K performance capable PC GPUs are more than 2x powerfull compared to XOX GPU. That's why you can see seamless performance in 4K only with Quad SLI Titans and i7 or similar configurations...

And you ignoring the fact, posted by Zoraptor, that optimalization is not magic word, which can turn Toyota GT 86 into Porsche 911 GT... Same as you cannot optimalize sub-par GPU into elite GPU, which alone costs double the price of whole console... And same with balloons. You can't inflate them "ad infinitum", sooner or later they pop. Edit: and you probably missed it, but there was a ****storm on the internet about Witcher 3 and subpar visual fidelity for AMD GPU owners compared to trailers, which were all run on Nvidia GPUs and used some patented technologies not available to AMD.

Unfortunatelly every game, which is accessible to much for the teenage audience, turns sooner or later into toxic dump. Just look at League of Legends. I really liked to play that game with my ex-guildies from WoW, but the game became so full of ****ty people, that I have not started the game for more than 3 years...

And one more interesting thing from E3 So far confirmed only for X Box One.

Why do you think that? Just because it happened with PS4 and Xbox One models when they were aiming for 1080p and 60fps, doesn't mean that they will fail the Xbox One X. It certainly has the power to upscale any game from now and the future in 4k/60fps but most pc gamers tend to forget that the development tools and building softwares are evolving every month, hence the rapid updates. It's just another reason why optimization has and always be much better for console games this generation than on pc.The game play for Destiny 2, Metro Exodus, Forza 7, Need For Speed and Assassins Creed: Origins were all running in 4k @60fps both in the trailers and in the playable demo booths. Point being that the coding for consoles is still more convenient than pc's as it has always been. I'm talking about this in the wrong forum though, I already know thay the majority of gamers here prefer pc over consoles, I just hope nobody takes this the wrong way as me saying that consoles are better than pc. The coding is different, so are the optimization attributes, consoles are not pc and with good reason, even if they use pc parts. We are mid-generation so optimization is far better now. If you're talking about games in 3 years from now, then I guess I can see your point. By then, the PS5 and neXtBox will have made way. Because it never ever happened before, that "vertical slice" trailer on E3 was completely different, from what we got shipped in the end Marketers shove down your throat anything, because no one sued them for false advertising yet... EDIT PS: Ubisoft always lies, because they can get away with it

I have finally found something interesting among E3 trailers as well :-D

Allow me to disagree. You compare it to PS4. PS4 Slim still outsells PS4 Pro. Because it's cheaper...

Any JRPGs announced during SONY presentation? They promised to bring more Japanes games to PS4, so I am curious if they showed some of them already.

When will Sony have their presentation?

I watched few E3 streams in previous years, but anything except SONY, was so bland and boring. You do not need to watch Ubisoft show at all, for example. Just write on a paper few times ICONIC and EPIC, put it on wall and look at it for one hour. It's as much entertaining as all their E3 shows, which I've seen. Sony on other hand, has always made very interesting show to watch, even when it presented games, which I do not care at all. And this year, they promised, they would bring more Japanese games to Playstation brand again, so I am curious which kind of games it will be, and if they will cooperate even with smaller japanese companies to bring more localized games to the market.

It's close to DnD 3.5 (NWN2) but imo the unlimited resting would break all caster classes and make them OP (if the game stays close to PnP rules).

Graphics in a game is last thing I care about. I still play SNES and PSX games nowadays and most of them are for me much better fun than any graphics dependent current gen game. And laptop for me is a no go, because I rather sit on my sofa and play on my 46" TV, than on 15-17" laptopscreen or 22-24" monitor. Rather than buying expensive notebook/pc and monitor, I purchase a console and quality big TV.

Same with me. I love them on console, I don't care about them on PC.

Most of them are just for statistical tracking, when the player puts the game on shelf. Nothing else. They just want to know, how many people see their content. The rest is just challenge for completionists.

Heresy!

Dragon's Dogma on GOG :-O https://www.gog.com/news/release_dragons_dogma_dark_arisen Absolutely unexpected O.o

It's easier than it might seem. You just have to not waste your time on first playthroughs of bad games ;-)Not really, digital distribution led to an explosion of good games. Besides, I don't buy anything from EA, Activision or Ubisoft, so that cuts down 90%. Heh. It was meant as a little sarcastic remark ) TBH I am in similar situation, despite "boycotting" Steam, EA, Ubisoft, Activision and trying to buy only the most quality games (which is purely subjective), my backlog is growing and growing. Actually my girlfriend started to play her first computer game ever yesterday (Deponia), so I hope some of my backlog will be of good use in her hands in the next few months )
