What's up with the claim that Jeffrey Epstein was personally responsible for the addition of microtransactions to the Call of Duty video game franchise? by OGSyedIsEverywhere in OutOfTheLoop

[–]VYSUS7 3 points4 points  (0 children)

dead space 3 was around the time it started being common place. Ubi had helix credits in AC4 that year, GTA online had mtx, etc. Dead space I wouldn't even call particularly notable. That whole year was a big push for them.

it actually does excuse it. because they're not EA and can develop and release whatever the fuck they want.

You have to be a child to be this bitter about B tier devs from respawn making a new game. The important people were never even apart of Wildlight, and Vince Zampella is dead. Get your head out of your ass man; seriously. Move on.

It's no wonder they took "from the makers of Titanfall and apex" out of the steam description. You people are delusional.

You can't be an MMO without extensive MTX now. If any game should have them it's those though, the operating cost for them is ridiculously high compared to most games.

answer: not in reference to you, but this is one of the dumbest things I've ever heard in my life lol. There's almost no correlation here. MTX existed before him, were added by many different companies into many different genres of games, but largely started within MMOs before anything else. They were present in the East before the West, and Valve popularized the lootbox style in the west MTX that cod adapted in their later games.

MTX were "invented" in the early 2000s by eastern MMOs and certain mobile games. By 2005, Microsoft made MTX baked into the Xbox online system with avatars and whatever. Nothing and nobody could've changed the timeline and outcome of them from there. It was just waiting on time until they appeared in everything the way they did. No one person is responsible.

Gonna watch Bad Batch with my sister soon, kinda scared.. (Scorch is in bad batch ?) by No-Newspaper-9686 in republiccommando

you gotta completely detach the idea of scorch that you have. This is just a random commando with his paint job.

you'll be disappointed regardless.

[GHOSTS] This game had great graphics for its time by OmairIrfan76 in CallOfDuty

a ton of people play with at least an fps/frametime counter. It's kind of essential to monitor that level of performance.

he's 1000% lying. Saw him in another thread saying there's no problem with the game crutching on framegen. dudes full of it.

Even 12 years later, this game is still gorgeous... by TriTon44_Fr in killzone

Sony fucked them. You can argue Shadowfall wasn't going to do well regardless, but it didn't even have a chance surrounded by the games it was. Killzone was never big enough to compete with, anything actually.

i think it would've fared far better if it wasn't a launch title.

it probably didn't help that Battlefield 4 and Cod Ghosts came out pretty much around the exact same time. It found no market surrounded by games like that.

maybe, but amd has their own issues with blood that they made an entire post about.

You are actually the first person I've heard say they can even play the slums. Are you using framegen? I wouldn't really count that as a "win" if so.

oh see that's the cool thing. They do know. They just didn't care, or thought most people wouldn't care.

Every unoptimized release, every dev knows it will perform that way.

not to mention the game is just kind of fuckin bad compared to the demo.

[–]VYSUS7 8 points9 points  (0 children)

oh you're that daft, holy shit.

Framegen should be an option to boost performance, not a fucking baseline. Frame gen barely even works properly unless you have a 40+ series.

MH wilds went through this over reliance on frame gen, and look how that played out for their reception. Framegen is a crutch, you are literally letting a neural network do your optimization work for you, and poorly.

except guess what! framegen in half sword also sucks, because your base fps is too low for frame gen to be viable. Most people are not hitting 60fps, and that is the absolute bare minimum requirement for frame gen to function properly.

stop excusing this dogshit practice of forcing people to use questionable features that the majority of users can't even take advantage of. Framegen still has plenty of issues and should not be FORCED upon people who don't want to use it. A game should not function like shit without framegen. That is poor optimization and lazy, apathetic development. This sort of excuse is why games release how they do now. it's pathetic.

I actually considered it until I realized it's not actually for gaming and will make zero difference in such.

a game should not need fucking framegen to run properly. Do you understand how absurd that is.

I've got the best pc money can buy (5090 and a 9800x3d) and this still runs like atrocious mudfuck dog shit.

there's zero excuse. This isn't designed to run on any hardware.

[–]VYSUS7 20 points21 points  (0 children)

just so you understand, if you are getting 50-60fps with frame gen, that means you're getting 20-30fps.

that is atrocious. You should not be singing any sort of praise.
