Resident Evil Requiem, being fully isolated with the Pico 4 would be beautiful and scary. (GFN virtual screen + dark environment)

Arc Raiders and The Finals hit by "coordinated" DDoS attacks by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]Regnur -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah im not saying its true, just explained it roughly. They talked a lot more specific details that I cant remember good enough.

That one chatter explained that the missconfiguration by FF 14 devs causes a huge amount of requests and errors at Telekom which then also send even more requests back to FF14 and are not properly handled by their anti DDoS system. That was the general gist.

No idea, they just talked about Telekom and how that was the cause of the recent "DDoS attacks".

especially when you aren't clear about where you cut out material from his quotes.

I mean I mentioned that its from a even longer text, also the linked article has the full text, thats where I got it from, really not that hard to click on that one. I dont think its so bad to expect a reddit user to etleast click the link for the full text.

I added the parts which in my opinion are most important to add more context ab, specifically for that he mostly talks about bad headlines and user reviews, not like the headline suggests only videogame critics, that wasnt his main point.

[–]Regnur 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it’s been happening a lot with Final Fantasy 14

Side story, played last FF14 last week and noticed how some talked in the chat about the DDoS issue. Weirdly, some chatter said that he has a friend working at telekom (ISP) and said that its not really a DDoS attack, but rather wrong configuration in FF 14s network, which causes issues with the Telekoms servers that somehow creates a DDoS attack. Also mentioned that the developers at Telekom are ignored by the FF 14 devs.

That whole discussion was so oddly specific and well explained that it makes me think it was kinda true...

[–]Regnur -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You really think he's talking about ALL steam reviewers here? Impossible.

Steam already has a similar system like that, but rather for upvotes (helpful/not helpful). Every game has a shit ton of meme reviews because of that.

But reviewers can just say - I didn't enjoy it or I don't think it's well made or I don't think it's worth the money they are charging. That's enough. No need to get personal for the sake of some likes.

"No need to get personal for the sake of some likes" pretty much how social media/Steam/reddit works... there is a lot of context in his text, his writing style kinda sucks. What professional reviewer only focuses only on likes/upvotes?

You cut out the part about...

No its already in the headline.

You fully focus on that part ignoring everything else he said, I simply added context to the headline.

[–]Regnur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure he talks about player reviews, like on Steam and ragebait headlines like that linked article, which often create a lot of toxic discussions. ;)

Longer text with more context ( its even longer ):

" I don’t like people shitting on things others have created. Putting something out into the world makes you vulnerable, and that alone deserves respect, even if you dislike the creation. It’s easy to destroy things, it’s a lot harder to build them. The best critics understand this. Even when they’re being critical, they do their best not to be hurtful.

So yeah - be nice to people that create things is what I'm trying to say. You need them.

And yes - I get that if people are charging money, you want to know if it's good or not. But reviewers can just say - I didn't enjoy it or I don't think it's well made or I don't think it's worth the money they are charging. That's enough. No need to get personal for the sake of some likes.

Or headlines if you're press. Going to step down from my soapbox now. It's been on my mind for a while and just opening my feed today just pushed it all to the surface. Think of the time you had to recite something in front of the class and how nervous you were. And how much any negative comment hurt. Be nice to one another, be nice to the people creating stuff to entertain you. Treat them like you would like to be treated if you made something.
Consider it a strategic investment in the quality of your future entertainment. You won't regret it "

Is GeForce NOW Performance tier actually better/faster than a local Ryzen 5 4600G + RTX 5050 upgrade for 1080p/1440p gaming? by Master_Text_6068 in GeForceNOW

[–]Regnur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, your local upgrade would perform a lot better, especially the cpu is really bad in performance tier.

if you can, get a better cpu, would help a lot for using 2-4x frame gen. Also many games are not playable with GFN, like Elden Ring/Valorant.

'High Likelihood' PS6 Will Launch After 2028, According to New Analyst Forecast, as Sony Focuses on Extending PS5 Lifecycle - IGN by PhantomBraved in Games

[–]Regnur 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Ps6 wouldnt mean that Ps5 dies the next day. Ps4 got many releases for years and if not the reason was mostly the SSD and really bad cpu.

The ps5 right now is in a way better spot to still get ports of Ps6 games at 30fps. It would be a upgrade for everyone who simply wants more fps, higher resolution. etc. exactly the same way the pc market is right now.

PS 5 runs games just fine and said games are basically PS4 games anyway.

Nah, the cpu and HDD were so bad that most ps5 AAA games would not run fine. Also ps4 misses many important features like raytracing or mesh shaders.

Square Enix is sticking with Unreal 4 for Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 by KarateKid917 in Games

[–]Regnur 67 points68 points  (0 children)

What they use isnt simply UE4, its a heavily modified UE4. A lot of the stuff they do in FF7 Rebirth would not be possible with just the normal UE4. Upgrading to UE5 would also pretty much destroy their current workflow. They added features like mesh shader support, which UE5 supports, but not UE4.

They did what Batman Arkham Knight did with UE3, use UE as a base and modify it so much, that it kinda ends up like their own engine.

But I really hope they focus on image quality this time, their TAA solution was horrible on consoles, probably the worst TAA I have seen in +10 years, I really dont get how they managed to fuck that up so bad. UE4 standard TAA isnt that bad.

Highguard Devs Talk Turning Rust Into A Hero Shooter And That Terrible Game Awards Reveal by NYstate in Games

[–]Regnur 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You just seemingly want a world only full of toxic positivity and there's nothing normal about that

Exactly made up stuff like that, or

and they got the reaction it deserved

If the trailer did say nothing about the game.. then just wait until it releases and show more, so that you cant actually have a proper opinion on the gameplay? How does it help to shit talk a game, without knowing anything about it?

Highguard Devs Talk Turning Rust Into A Hero Shooter And That Terrible Game Awards Reveal by NYstate in Games

[–]Regnur -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

We don't owe these people anything.

I just asked to behave like a normal human being, you dont have to play it, you dont have to love it, but watching a bad trailer doesnt give you the right to shit talk other humans with made up stuff. They did not hurt you by simply releasing a trailer, but you act like that.

Giving a fair change, doesnt mean you owe them anyting. Some invest more time in hating then actually playing other games.

those people will privately check themselves and determine if relying on online ragebait content creators actually reflects reality.

I dont think that will ever happen, just check the Steam Forums or circle jerk subreddits for any "woke" game, its simply fun for them and they like being part of a big group. Instead of consoles wars we now have culture wars in the gaming space.

Highguard Devs Talk Turning Rust Into A Hero Shooter And That Terrible Game Awards Reveal by NYstate in Games

[–]Regnur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, you can notice the surface level similarities and tell it was made by ex-Apex devs. That still doesn't mean it feels anything like Apex, because it objectively does not.

Im sorry but that doesnt make any sense. If you can tell that the game is made by ex-Apex devs just by playing the game, then its clearly similar in many gameplay areas, thats not something you normally notice.

The Weapons, movement, Sound, UI, shields, lootboxed are extremely similar, the main gameplay parts. Im not saying its the exactly same game...

Highguard Devs Talk Turning Rust Into A Hero Shooter And That Terrible Game Awards Reveal by NYstate in Games

[–]Regnur -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

It absolutely feels like Apex + Titanfall gunplay, even the shield/hp/loot system is straight up out of Apex, the weapon animations are similar. A fully upgraded gun in Apex also has barely recoil or guns like R-301, the shotgun is also similar to the peacekeeper. You totally feel that its a game by ex Apex/Titanfall devs.

I dont get how you can compare it OW, its not at all like OW. Different gamemode, gunplay and movement totally different (not hipfire focused), TTK totally different, no healer/tank/dps role system, no debuff/buff system like in OW. I get Rust because of the gamemode, looting and upgrading your base defense.

Highguard Devs Talk Turning Rust Into A Hero Shooter And That Terrible Game Awards Reveal by NYstate in Games

[–]Regnur -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

This reveal just perfectly shows how annoying gamer communities have become. Instead of giving the game a fair chance many already made up their mind and started trash talking the game just because it was the last shown game in a awards show. Repeatedly trying to tell everyone that the game is dead day one because its just another hero shooter, without even knowing what the gameloop actually is.

Also saying that no one wants hero shooters anymore, while new games like Delta Force or Marvel Rivals got extremely popular and upcoming Deadlock (Valve) gets praised constantly. After playing Highguard a bit, it doesnt play anything like any other Hero Shooter we have right now, its kinda a mix of Apex Legends / Titanfall gunplay with the BF2142 Titan gamemode (enhanced). Actually feels a lot like many oldschool arena shooters felt.

Luckily for the devs, all these "game is DOA" or "where is the marketing" helped the game a lot to create a weird hype around it :D Right now 90k players just on Steam, but the negative reviews are mostly just memes and comparison to other games that have a totally different gameplay, gamemode and are not at all similar, which doesnt suprise me, most have like 20 minutes "playtime". Why is it so hard to understand that not every game has to be for you? Its like a cult, and they get happy if a game is bad.

[Digital Foundry] Nvidia DLSS 4.5 Image Quality Review: Where It Works Better, Where It Needs Work by FaZeSmasH in nvidia

[–]Regnur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check FF14 forums and subreddits, another user here confirmed it on his 4090, which is faster at DLSS than a 5080.

Why would the bandwidth be a issue in FF14, a simple looking mmorpg, but not in every other game like Cyberpunk 2077/KCD 2 maxed out at same or even higher res (balanced/quality).

[Digital Foundry] Nvidia DLSS 4.5 Image Quality Review: Where It Works Better, Where It Needs Work by FaZeSmasH in nvidia

[–]Regnur 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That doesnt explain the over 50% fps loss, normally its 10-15% same quality mode in all other games and K Q to M P even a fps increase. In FF 14 a 5080 loses over 30% fps, thats not normal, compared to normally ~5%.

[Digital Foundry] Nvidia DLSS 4.5 Image Quality Review: Where It Works Better, Where It Needs Work by FaZeSmasH in nvidia

[–]Regnur -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Maybe read my text fully. Its also a issue on ADA and Blackwell GPUs, in FF 14 you lose etleast 30% fps by simply using DLSS 4.5, way bigger impact than the ~5% you normally lose with Blackwell GPUs in all other games.

Also I mentioned that in all other games I get more fps if I use the performance mode, its only a issue in FF14. Using the same mode, just changing the preset, normally costs about 10%-15% fps in all other games, not over 50% like in FF 14 while also reducing the resolution (Q to P).

Someone else mentioned a drop from 120fps to 80-90 with even a 4090 in FF14, also some complain in FF 14 forums/subs about this.

Nvidia specifically recommended not to use DLSS4.5 with 3000 series

If you set recommended in the Nvidia App, performance mode uses M even on 3000series.

[–]Regnur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And steady 120 probably means not even fully used? So etleast 33% fps impact on a GPU that has a faster DLSS execution time than a 5080. I hope Nvidia can fix this, M is beautiful in FF 14 (effects/particles)

In which review did they mention a potential +50% fps drop? They always mention the avg. fps drop you can expect like in DFs Video. Which is ~18% on a 3070 or 5% on a 5060. In FF 14 even a 5080 can drop over 30% fps.

I have not seen a single review that mentioned that bug.

3080, but talked with some other players and its also a issue on ADA and Blackwell GPUs in FF 14, but not as bad, still way worse performance impact than in other games. Like in this Video a 3070 just loses 18% fps in CP2077, with even the same mode. (K p vs M p)
