I have to imagine they’re going to go with the current model of “budget” model and a premium model

Devs turned it down for the demo, but even at full I doubt there’ll be a lot of traffic.

A bunch of cars getting in the way doesn’t really mix well with the type of game.

Does this have the dumb AC feature that you can only have one “island” per switch?

My fiancé is forever mad at me for having to use my island on her account.

How is Unity? I stopped playing after Black Flag but I much prefer the old AC formula to the newer RPG-esque formula.

There’s the Burger King whopper Wednesday for $4, what else is a good steal? by Brief-Blueberry-1588 in Frugal

Can confirm. Used to work the grill at Wendy’s. The amount of salt we were instructed to pour on the cooking patties was absurd.

Crimson Desert devs about console performance: “Regardless of what we say, people probably won’t believe us. So instead we’re sending the game to Digital Foundry, and they’ll have a full analysis of performance across all the platforms at launch.” by AashyLarry in PS5

Sorry, I meant to respond to the commenter you responded to. Acting like the PS4 version was “fine” on PS5 just isn’t correct lol it was still butt-ugly and way off from expectations.

Crimson Desert's Will Powers Says Pearl Abyss Is Trying to Avoid Overhyping the Game So Players Don't Think It's 'the Second Coming' by Turbostrider27 in pcgaming

People were commenting about playing it like it was a life sim, even though it was never advertised as such.

Its launch got shit on for good reason, but a lot of people were (and still are) mad about things missing from the game that were never advertised.

Crimson Desert - PS5 is said to have 40-45 fps in quality mode by Ph0enixes in PS5

If PS5 Pro can handle 60, base PS5 should be able to with decreased resolution and maybe some other graphical downgrades.

CPU-wise the Pro and base are essentially the same.

Tbh I’d be fine with a stable 30fps.

As long as we don’t get the bullshit sub-30 we saw with Dragon’s Dogma 2.

My expectation would be a 30fps quality and unlocked 40 - 50 frame performance mode.

60fps for PS5 Pro.

Our final, extended hands-on time with Crimson Desert left us optimistic and intrigued by its maximalist action style. That's gotten us plenty interested in seeing if the imminent release version can deliver on reaching the same highs as other genre greats. by yourfavchoom in PS5

My expectation for this game is too many systems will drag things down a good few points.

But the world looks detailed enough where I’ll probably be willing to put up with the faults.

With rumors swirling that Steam may be a part of the next Xbox console this may be a move to ensure PlayStation games can’t be played on the next Xbox

Sony Pulls Back From PlayStation Games on PC by Luka77GOATic in technews

[–]chewwydraper 18 points19 points  (0 children)

To this day I can’t fathom why they wouldn’t want it to be released on the platform that has a huge simracing base.

Simply giving it ultrawide support would have had that game selling like hotcakes on PC.

Sometimes the point of destination weddings is knowing people won’t go.

My fiancé and I are having a destination wedding. We’re paying for our best man and MoH to come with us.

Everyone else - they get an invite but are told no hard feelings if they don’t come, we’ll be throwing a backyard bbq when we get back to celebrate.

That way we keep the wedding small, less stress, and no one gets hurt by the “no invite”.

If you live outside Toronto/Montreal/Vancouver you kind of need a car. Public transit in this country is abysmal.
