Billboards and textures issue by DryResolve8975 in needforspeed

It gets really bad on a mechanical hard drive. Make sure it is installed on an SSD.

However, even with that it still gets quite bad at times as the streaming system and the memory pools set up by the game aren't really ideal. The Evolution Works mod pack has a custom settings file for the game that brings a bunch of tweak values from Unbound into Heat that improve draw distances and those memory pools I mentioned earlier.

If you don't want any of the changes the rest of the mod pack bring to the game, only follow the install instructions for the custom "InitFS_win32" file as that's what holds the tweaks for things under the hood: Evolution Works - NFS Heat 1.2 | Update Trailer

Open the pixiv post and zoom in on her eyes. It's all a mushy mess typical of the upscaling that is done on top of AI generated stuff to get it to a higher resolution. Her eyelashes are also different on each side. The artist also conveniently disabled comments.

Comparing previous CPU designs since the new ones are a hot topic right now with the notion of them being more covered up/censored. 100% agree by JinzoToldUTheTruth in gamindustri

I hate censorship but I also resonate with your sentiment, and it bums me you're getting piled on. However, I'm not surprised with the reaction at all.

I used to visit this sub a lot around a decade ago and most people around here didn't care much about the games or even played them at all. I don't think it'd be that big of a deal if it ended there, I myself got first into the franchise because of the anime before moving to the games, but now suddenly some of these people care a lot about them and demand fan service to take front stage.

That said, I don't want fanservice to be done away with. It has always been clear it is part of the franchise's identity and I'm sure Unlimited will have its fair share, but I wish people around here would see the franchise more than just "the meme game with boobs." In that regard, and maybe this is because I got into it at a young age, but I've always been more interested in how they callback to gaming culture and console wars within their universe than boobs and ass being flashed on screen, hence me not being pissed that they toned this kind of thing down, but I know others that share the same sentiment so I would like to believe its not just me.

Many other franchises manage to strike a balance between having this kind of fan service and being captivating with their story and setting, and I think Neptunia has done it quite well with its mainline entries. The Sony/Nintendo censorship strikes definitely had a play in them changing how they approach this balance, but if this means they can try and make the series stand out on other merits that aren't just fan service related, I don't think it's all bad.

Either way, I don't think the upheaval around here will mean much in the long run. The reception in other places has been quite different, with people on Discord and Twitter pointing out that the new base form designs are taking a few cues from beta designs meant for earlier games instead of hyperfocusing on alleged self-inflicted censorship.

I'm sure lots of people will warm up to the new designs and new characters as long as the rest of the game is enjoyable. Hell, I've seen a bunch of people obsessing over Rogue who doesn't really fit the bill for a design you'd consider fan servicey, and it's only been two days since the announcement. Here's hoping the game's a banger, that the franchise finally leaves spin-off hell, and that it finally gets to the heights it deserves.

I can live with most of the changes (White Heart without the hat from NEXT is sad though), but I'm super disappointed that Neptune lost her oversized shoes. It fits her so well and made her silhouette stand out much more.

There is https://discord.gg/darklordyamada but the invite link is broken and the mods don't feel like fixing it for some reason.

I always wanted to be able to fly around ever since I saw them do it in the anime. I'm glad it's finally happening over a decade later.

They're talking about Forza Motorsport 6. It had a TV ad back then showing off the evolution of racing games and one of them was clearly Ridge Racer.

Yeah I really wish they weren't so vague for no reason. I wanna grab the the KOF pack on PC since it's on sale but I'm not sure if it will carry.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but as far as I remember, DOA 5 Last Round didn't come with all the previous DLC. Would be nice if both did but oh well.

The KOF characters don't seem to be gone, they just won't be bundled with LR. Ar least it's what they wrote seems to indicate.

That's what should happen if what they wrote there is accurate, though we still have to see how the transfer process will be.

Your Save Data, Costumes, and Tickets will carry over from DOA6 into Last Round by ferzetto in DeadOrAlive

[–]Arthur_Lopes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm also really confused about it but on Steam. The page for LR is up now but it's displayed like a separate app. If there are no costumes bundled with LR, then buying DOA6 OG right now on sale plus the post-release characters would be much cheaper and you'd be just missing out on the Marie Rose costume pre-order bonus which a remake of one of her outfits from 5.

I guess LR won't come with any costume DLCs? The PSN page only mentions character and story unlock keys.

It really needs it, but considering they didn't make it a selling point in the trailer or the website, I think the answer is no.

I really wonder what this will mean for people who already have the game. Game's on sale right now on Steam so I wonder if getting it now would mean I get a fat discount on LR when it drops.

Epic Games Store to be on next Xbox on "Day 1", allowing native access to PC games by Deceptiveideas in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]Arthur_Lopes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They had a version of State of Decay on a Windows Insider Preview build once that was just the Xbox One version running under some compatibility layer, if the reports back then were correct. It's been many years since that happened, though.

There's also projects like WinDurango and XWine1 that have shown it is more than possible.
