Now I am curious as to why we have AAA ratings at all.  Finance? Beef?

Why has elegance found so little following? Elegance has the disadvantage that hard work is needed to achieve it and a good education to appreciate it. - Edsger Wybe Dijkstra

It's the amount of content they cut out of the game to sell back to you at a later date.

Civilization, in fact, grows more and more maudlin and hysterical; especially under democracy it tends to degenerate into a mere combat of crazes; the whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary. - H.L.

*snort* at "AAAA" game. I mean, if they were going to go there, why not just call it "S".

In other games, Tombraider 1-3 remake is almost here. Watching some footage I am undecided whether I like it. They seem to have respected it a lot and it does look better in some ways (there are small QoL improvements as well) but I like the brighter/less muddy lighting/colors/shadows of the original. EDIT: other videos show better lighting in some places, other places almost too dark etc). I wonder if you can turn the shadows low or off to mitigate that. EDITEDIT: you can flip between original/remake on the fly

I think it has a photomode too.  :shifty:  The biggest ? for me tho is whether I'd actually replay them.

Skip to 3:45 for gameplay. The (not in-game) story cutscenes don't look any better, just upscaled/smoothed a bit or something.

 

This YouTuber plays thru whole game plays highlights from all three I think, so you can look at different areas.

Tomb Raider... that brings back memories 😎

Fallout may have been the game that made me cave in a buy a PC (I bought the full game after trying the demo and it wouldn't run on my PC emulator). But Tomb Raider was the game that made me buy my first dedicated 3D graphics card/accelerator 😁

https://www.pixelrefresh.com/3dfx-orchid-righteous-voodoo-1-where-3d-acceleration-truly-began/

Bye bye oversized chunky pixels (and Lara's giant chest triangles) and hello smooth flowing graphics. I still remember the rather loud click when the relay on the card enabled and disabled it

I spent an obscene amount of hours playing that game, exploring every nook and cranny, searching for the limits of the map and every secret I could find (the internet back then was not the internet of today)

Yeah, I very fond of first 4 TR games. I did play through through all 6 original TR (the last two horrible ones for the first time) and while I enjoyed it, I don’t feel the need to return to them. 

Once I found nothing that would satisfy my TR needs, but oddly enough Dark Souls filled that void - with its exploration, oversized environments, intimidating bigger than you enemies. And I would rather replay Dark Souls than go back to TRs at this point.

Im not a big fan of Disco and its  one of the 4-5  games I have never completed but retrenchments  and  companies possibly going under  is never good news 

Apparently its  linked   to mismanagement?

Disco is in copyright dispute for a long time due to allegations of shay malpractices. Unfortunately no other outcome could be expected out of this 🤷‍♂️

There has been a lot of drama at ZAUM for a while now, with key creators behind Disco getting fired from company and accusations being thrown back and forth between the fires three and the management. If you want to know more:

Yeah, it was so much more convenient to sit through 23 separate 10 minute videos to get the full picture. XD

Yeah...limits or not, a lot of uploaders now over-indulge themselves far too much re: video length/lack of editing. But I'd give that posted video slack since it appears to be documentary oriented/very specific-interest topic. eg, if one is really into that topic, maybe the longer the better.

On the flip side - generally speaking, I dislike "shorts" almost as much. I mean I get it, some silly/ent. content works fine with that but I wish TikTok hadn't made it such a dominant form so now YT keeps pushing it to compete. That's not what I go to YT for.

For me the perfect length for informational video is between 12 and 15 minutes. Longer videos I tend to skip more often than not. For LPs, I do not mind to watch two hours videos. And yes, there is a bigger chance, that I watch 10x 10 minutes series over a week, than a single 100 minute long 🤷‍♂️ and yes, I ignore shorts as well. They are pest for shortening the attention span…
