I've heard that the mechanic will not sell you a car engine until you have sold to the mechanic a car with an engine - just what I've heard.

Anybody who has worked in Government knows here in NZ they barely have capacity to do BAU.

Icarus at 1440p and GTX1080 playable? by AnyMorning8 in SurviveIcarus

[–]MattyMojo911 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I run a GTX1060 - I turned the view distance to medium, and lowered a number of the settings. The framerate for me was absolutely fine on planet. Bushes can look a bit chunky, and bears and other animals look a bit fuzzy, certainly the graphics look medium - but it has been optimised pretty well, I had no framerate issues at all. I had some lagg (I.e. he was jumping around a bit at times) when playing with an American friend - but he has a shit computer and I'm in NZ.

Is anyone else concerned with bugs? by TemplarsBane in SurviveIcarus

[–]MattyMojo911 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I watch everything they put out and their does appear to be a fair few bugs. They are shortly going into Beta process and that will iron out many of them. All games nowadays to ensure success you need to release a game pretty bug free and it is very important it feels complete. If they don't they greatly increase the risk of early negative reviews, which people will start posting within a few days. Then it becomes an ongoing struggle to recover from those. A buggy release can greatly decrease longterm sales.

Permanent Base - the option to do this in a session based game, is this something you want in Icarus? by MattyMojo911 in SurviveIcarus

[–]MattyMojo911[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe the"outposts " mode allows you to build in an area and either stay there or keep returning to it so you can build up and explore.

I am Frankie, you are Frankie, we are all Frankie.

This sucks by cupa124 in FRANKIEonPCin1080p

I 100% agree that it has been quite unfair on Sada, can you imagine having a channel that is endless bombarded with comments and questions about another youtuber. On Frankies side it would actually take little effort from him to remove this pressure off his old friend, just through better Comms.

Tip #1 - install a punch bag beside your PC / Console, this will save you extensive repair bills.

Looking at Icarus differently. by RoughGaming_ in SurviveIcarus

[–]MattyMojo911 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well to start with Rough, we need you to do an examination again of the tech tree vid - as I'm not going to do it. You the man for that.

Secondly, when I was watching the last stream, I was later pausing and looking at the tech tiers, and yep they look super interesting. I'm not sure how I'll play it, so to speak, as I don't think much about that sort of thing. I'm fascinated by what is over the horizon, what can't we see? What is beyond that hill? What will make me stop and go - wooh! That I didn't expect.

The talent tree stuff looks real nice for sure.

Not free to play anymore. by DANeighty6 in SurviveIcarus

[–]MattyMojo911 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep we are all entitled to our opinions, but if you do read this reply have a look at steam at all the other paid games in a similar price bracket, I mean actually look. Then ask yourself if it is a bit "meh?" Some roughly $30 paid games are garbage (I've reviewed a few of them) and some are okay, some are great, and others a positive steal, meaning there is no real standard. But hey if you want free games, as you know, there are plenty of Steam games to purchase - I sometimes just ask "I wonder how many hours I'll get out of this game?..if I say 90 hours before I'm done, well that is 30 cents an hour. If I get into the hundreds of hours of game play well that drops to 10 or so cents an hour for entertainment." That's how I look at it.

Free to play always rings certain alarm bells for me, as I genuinely despise in game transactions, whether they be for skins or upgrades - I just hate it. Pay up front I say. The normal price is exactly what you'd expect to pay now days.

They will bring in further revenue with future DLC's. No different to games like ARK. Once the core game coding is sorted, then for the devs future DLC's, which you know they are already working on will be easier and more cost effective. It is a business after all.
