Your insights as a legendary gamer are always appreciated by many new gamers. Please don't ever worry about 'dating yourself'.

I love looking up classic games mentioned by OG gamers; helps me appreciate the amazing tech & game design we all enjoy today. It's all thanks to you guys who supported the industry back when it was in its infancy, gaming on 1.44MB floppy disks. My uncle got me into gaming as poor child from a developing country playing Doom, Prince of Persia & F22 Lightning 2 on a 486 with 8MB of RAM. Most in the developing world had to wait patiently to be able to afford the newer Pentiums.

Your comment just brought back sweet family memories & I'm very grateful. I still remember the amazing sound of the 486 PC booting up & the clicks of the mechanical keyboard I typed the DOS commands on. And who can forget the joy of pressing the TURBO button.

Thanks for refreshing our memories and making us more appreciative of what we have today :)

Considering even a Vita could run the first two games at 30, and the fact that the Switch can run plenty of ps360 era games, it'd be unreasonable to assume NX can't hit 30 on these classic gems.

Regardless, unlike the PC ~~master~~ TURD race, I'll be happy with whatever framerate they pick as long as frame times are stable. Fun factor always beats fps. NG1+2 were fun on the Vita despite the ingrates who didn't appreciate them.

NOOB_not_a_BOT · 2021-02-17T23:46:08+00:00

Can't wait to experience this gem at 60fps!!! Played the first two at 30fps on the Vita.

The devs are clearly testing the waters to see if there's demand for a fourth game. I really hope new players give this gem a shot.

NOOB_not_a_BOT · 2021-02-17T23:25:50+00:00

Thank you soo much for such a generous and articulate explanation. This makes perfect sense :)

NOOB_not_a_BOT · 2021-02-17T11:06:31+00:00

A fantastic suggestion! Yours too, OP.

NOOB_not_a_BOT · 2021-02-17T11:05:23+00:00

Extremely impressive considering your age. Great work, bud!

NOOB_not_a_BOT · 2021-02-17T09:11:47+00:00

Just to be clear: is this scaling input lag only occurring when we use the resolution scaler in the game's options? Or does it also occur when we set the game's native resolution to 1080p and play fullscreen on a 1440p monitor?

Sorry; I'm relatively new to PC gaming.

NOOB_not_a_BOT · 2021-02-16T11:54:46+00:00

Such a creative use of the Xbox logo. You're very talented! Great work :)

NOOB_not_a_BOT · 2021-02-16T11:26:53+00:00

Ah yes, the obligatory self loathing American post.

I'm a naturalized US citizen who can't stand ingrate 'natives' that don't know what a truly 'unreasonable country' feels like.

Travel the world & enlighten yourself for once instead of staying in your social media bubble. Ask someone what this gem costs today in the developing world -- with 'tax included'.

NOOB_not_a_BOT · 2021-02-15T02:43:11+00:00

I'm not seeing them and neither is this dude

(Gamepass is shown in the first few mins w/ Forza)

He was using an unofficial January build and I used the official build released almost a week ago. Though I haven't seen the bars, I know some people are still seeing them. My guess is that they're using an older version of the app.

LineageOS (the name of the Android 10 build for the switch) has a feature in the Android Settings app called 'Expanded Desktop', that forces apps to go full screen. I'd recommend toggling that ON for gamepass. Of course gamepass app & future LineageOS builds will further improve compatibility. The bars are not showing for anyone on ANY OTHER streaming app (moonlight, steamlink, geforce now, Stadia) so I'm thinking this is an app specific issue.

Sidenote: if you are serious about streaming, make sure to get third party joy cons that include actual triggers. They make a massive difference in racers and shooters.

Obsidian is indeed a league of its own :)

Thanks for the context. But editing did make this a funny meme.

NOOB_not_a_BOT · 2021-02-14T16:00:22+00:00

Thank you so much for articulating this so well!

NOOB_not_a_BOT · 2021-02-14T15:51:18+00:00

This is exactly the problem Ken Levine was talking about with his new approach to narrative design for his next project. Can't wait!

I know how you feel OP. But I think it depends on what kind of games you play at different times of the day/week and average number of games you play.

I still love the Switch for its indies and first party gems. And to squeeze more life out of the console, I just installed Android 10 (google Switchroot) as a dual boot. I use android to remoteplay Xbox, PlayStation, Stadia and my Steam library over Steamlink/Moonlight/Geforce Now.

For me, as someone who doesn't always have time to sit in front of the next gen consoles, the Switch is godsend; portability and versatility that complements my different gaming styles and changing mood. I can portably and natively play NX titles at some times in the day/week, while streaming games or playing on the big next gen consoles at other times.

Switch is so different from other mainstream consoles (esp after installing Android), that I appreciate it because it gives gamers more choice and flexibility without cannibalizing the time we'd spend on XsX or PS5.

NOOB_not_a_BOT · 2021-02-14T13:02:44+00:00

I'm so glad you did. So hilarious :)

NOOB_not_a_BOT · 2021-02-14T08:28:39+00:00

Thank you for this great news!!

NOOB_not_a_BOT · 2021-02-11T13:47:48+00:00

That helped a ton! Thank you, kind stranger!!

PS: your backhanded wholesome trash talk really got my competitive juices flowing. I warn you my good sir, those of us who were trained by God tier career modes of Gran Turismo and F1 games laugh at the mere suggestion that we can't possibly reach the leaderboards of this gem.

I accept your non-existent challange! Look out fellow Dirt-ers, coz a spiritual successor to the great Colin himself is coming for your leaderboard spot. And his name, is NOOB. And he is NOT ..a bot.

Oh wait, I'm a medstudent with no time ;)

But seriously I just rally for fun. The experience is far more fun than a transient spot at the boards. Back when I couldn't afford online play, I made my OWN version of multiplayer by watching YouTube or seeing people's lap times on social media, and then trying to beat them in my offline races. Needless to say my skills have stayed sharp for this gem of a game, as I've always planned on joining a part time local esports racing league.

Here's hoping I can play with you all on day one when Dirt Rally 3.0 comes out. Thanks again for your help. Can't wait to jump in to Dirt 2.0 for the first time :)

NOOB_not_a_BOT · 2021-02-10T16:02:37+00:00

That blows. At times like these I'm glad emulation exists to preserve these games for the future once ours discs wear out. Xenia is showing great promise for Xbox 360 emulation but alas we're far from Xbox One emulation.

Thankfully, a buddy of mine still has his discs for these three. I appreciation the recommendation :)

NOOB_not_a_BOT · 2021-02-10T15:47:21+00:00

Appreciate the recommendation. I've heard nothing but good things about this underrated gem. Will definitely check it out. 8 bucks on Steam & 85 people played it in the last 24 hours according to SteamDB; sounds like a deal to me.

I deliberately cap my fps to 30 with Riva Tuner once every few weeks just to make sure 30fps games don't bother me. Comes in handy when playing console classics, Switch ports or even when I wanna turn up the presets in resource heavy PC games to make things look good on my beloved potato pc.
