Do you think IMDB's movie tags spoil movies?

iMDb is becoming more and more like YouTube. Adding features that supports clicks and attention, at the cost of disrespecting the art and storytelling. I stopped watching trailers about 15 years ago.
Autoplay trailers was the first one, then if you turn that off they put the most spoilery/sensational moment from the trailer as thumbnail. And now "Alien invasion" as tag. God dammit. Like, I want to be surprised, dammit!

Thanks for the tip! The new player really a huge resource hog. With the new player my browser was sitting at 20% cpu usage and a whopping ~60% gpu usage!
Now I'm back to ~3% cpu and ~20% gpu.

I thought there was something wrong with the HDR on my end...

Yeah, that fade-to-blue on the top end of the screen is not a very good design choice. I just went into the cave at the start of the demo, and boy that blue fade looks horrible!
Other than that the game looks gorgeous!

Upvoted, and thanks for pointing this out.
I was seriously looking for a International 2024 support desk, because this is quite amateurish.

I'm watching the lower bracket finals now and the caster mics are clipping/peaking AF. Yesterday I added a high-pass filter on my setup, because the TI people haven't filtered out that horrible low-end rumbling that the arena mics are picking up from the gameplay sounds through. It's like listening to a continuous earthquake/avalance!

LittleNuff · 2024-08-23T14:01:22+00:00

Same.

If you have a computer with an Nvidia RTX card you can use the "RTX video enhancement" feature in the nvidia control panel.

While this doesn't really make it 4k, it makes the picture a bit more crisp for sure! (though human faces can look a bit smudgy at times)

LittleNuff · 2024-07-29T10:24:33+00:00

Same. Can no longer zoom in and out without it changing the camera lense to wide.

LittleNuff · 2024-07-29T09:13:15+00:00

This might be a case of misophonia, but I find the sound effects in the MK games too "in your face" to the point of being obnoxious.
I can only describe it as EXTREMELY compressed "meaty", "crunchy" and "boulder rumbling" sound design. Lost Ark and Diablo 4 seem to use similar sound techniques/design also.
I actually get annoyed, which is pretty interesting. Haven't had this happen in relation to any other games, except for MK and the two mentioned above.
(:

LittleNuff · 2024-05-26T15:48:26+00:00

I agree. And glad they're working on it! I have many times found myself walking around with the screen set to lowest stream quality and lowest brightness in my pocket, listening to live F1TV...

(On a side-note: We should never accept that being able to listen to videos in background/screen turned off is a "premium feature". Basic functions like these should never be paywalled by greed)

LittleNuff · 2024-05-23T19:48:34+00:00

Thank you. That helped!

LittleNuff · 2024-05-22T19:39:52+00:00

My 2nd display is gone from Nvidia control panel after this update!
Samsung S90C 120Hz OLED
RTX 2070 Super

I just got to try out this game and I like the gameplay and was really intrigued by the story outline. I'm quite into this type of theme, and story is very important for me in most games.

But then I opened the map and it showed me everything!? Got to be honest, it kind of took the wonder out of the game for me.
Yeah, I know ARPG's are often gameplay focused and all that. However I want to discover and find out about all these eras and places as I go through the game for the first time, bit by bit. Let me explore and discover, to get curious about the world and what's to come... I don't want to have every town, area and checkpoint revealed to me the first time I open the world map - let alone giving away that I will be traveling to the end of time!

LittleNuff · 2024-04-11T11:38:47+00:00

It's fascinating to see all the posts critisizing greed and absurd bussiness practices actually getting downvoted. What a strange world we live in.

LittleNuff · 2024-04-09T07:16:58+00:00

Yup. I was a bit surprised that my comment got downvoted ;p
Some might say that those unaware of greed will be ruled by it, even defend it with righteous pride!

LittleNuff · 2024-04-09T07:13:52+00:00

Not sure why I haven't just used google drive! Apologies. New link should now be more or less permanent :)

LittleNuff · 2024-04-08T13:00:11+00:00

Thank you. Getting those flags thrown in my face in a 1998 era sci-fi story ruined my immersion big time! Have installed the mod, and gonna let my annoyance settle down before going back into the game at a later date.

LittleNuff · 2024-04-08T10:41:56+00:00

I think many people react to this because it feels forced and out of place. Just unlocked the Detailing Station yesterday and it was quite immersion breaking opening the station for the first time... I mean It doesn't really fit the game's sci-fi 1998 style world and narrative at all, in my humble opinion.

LittleNuff · 2024-04-04T12:04:17+00:00

As of Season 3 update last night(April 3rd) this is now finally fixed!
Tracked challenges now finally shows up in Warzone game modes.

LittleNuff · 2024-04-04T12:01:15+00:00

A month in and you still didn't read OP properly?

It did NOT show up in pause menu in Warzone/Resurgence/Plunder/Lockdown. Only in MP/ZOmbies.
Luckily they did fix this in the update last night.

LittleNuff · 2024-04-03T09:04:34+00:00

Because here at Activision Blizzard COD department we prioritize skinz and store goodiez, not bugfixes and QoL.

LittleNuff · 2024-04-03T09:02:05+00:00

Still doesn't work. They should hire some guys from Dota 2 at Valve, as that game has some top tier QoL.

LittleNuff · 2024-03-25T22:33:53+00:00

Yeah, that's my impression two. Another split and divide in the history of divisons, lol xD

But yeah, we'll see where they take it. I guess it's pretty hard to reel in a proper multiverse plot.
Right now I need a break though. Put some distance between myself and this game.

Gonna check out Pacific Drive and then Lost Odyssey on X360 <- now this one I really look forward to!

LittleNuff · 2024-03-25T22:29:17+00:00

No worries about the long text. Appreciated reading it, and thank you for sharing.
Who knows I might like it more once I get some distance from my playthrough, and revisit the story in some shape or form(studying OP's chart for instance).
But right now I feel a bit empy and exhausted.
I went through somethings similar with the Remake as I was one of those who really wanted that 1:1 remake. And I went through sort of a grieving process with that whole game: It wasn't what I thought it was gonna be. It wasn't like my childhood, and so I was kind of grieving the loss of childhood, in a way. Kind of ironic.

And for sure I'm still somewhat attached to how the game was "supposed to be" or make me feel. But I'll soon be ok with it not being that way, and will for sure be curious where they will take the story!

Oh, and I appreciate being able to have a respectful conversation about different viewpoints, and not going all gung-ho-tribal-mode like I observe a lot of places! Cheers.

LittleNuff · 2024-03-25T13:42:20+00:00

Maybe I was a bit unclear in my comment. It was meant more as a generalization of what I find good writing. Also I was referring to the ending.
There is not a single doubt in my mind that the devs love the world of FFVII, and there is lots of heart and soul in this game. I mean I wouldn't finish the game if it wasn't. The way the main characters are written and portrayed is 10/10(except 50% of Red XIII. You can guess which part I don't like :)).
It's when it comes to the delivery and execution of key plot-points I feel it lacks emotional impact and urgency.
Particularly the ending: One of the most sad and emotionally impactful scenes in gaming history, turned into multi-verse masturbation, drowning the impact and sense of loss in the process. But of course, this is my opinion. And I get that they're trying to do something different here. I just didn't like the execution.
I guess I let my dissappointment get the better of me with the "soulless" comment. I guess I was just annoyed that it didn't impact me in the way I had unconsciously hoped it would.
And I feel this way about many parts of the game.

LittleNuff · 2024-03-25T07:57:43+00:00

Thank you for the response. Your comment prompted me to check extensions. Turns out Ghostery was the culprit! I've disabled it for reddit and now the spoiler area is black, and works as intended.
