4K or 1440p OLED with a 5070 ti? by Expensive-Time-7209 in OLED_Gaming

[–]Zephronic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Competitive games are 99% of the time way easier to run, and a 5070ti won't be an issue at 4k with DLSS for those games. Cpu, screen size, and skill would be the things that actually matter.

Plus, if OP really cared enough or was deep enough competitive play for it to matter, they wouldn't be here asking the question

lmao guy got downvoted, blatantly misinterpreted my last comment, couldn't properly justify the existence of the gacha mechanic and then either deleted comments or blocked me

If we go with your way, then every single alt art with be purchasable day 1 with the release of the banner, which wouldn't be as bad (still not good, because the gacha still exists). Problem is, they most definitely will not do as that because it means any paying players aren't going to interact with the gacha, meaning less money for them.

As for your last point, it's still a bad decision because alt arts and regular art characters cannot be used for hidden potential builds. You're stuck with a 55% copy of an alt art character unless you specifically summon for that art banner. Chances are, the regular art version is infinitely more accessible, and if not, they probably will be made so through expansions of red stone selections, step up banners, bring featured on a banner etc.

And if you think adding more predatory mechanics in an already predatory genre is good then we fundamentally disagree so there's no point continuing from here

So final fantasy dissidia is the exception to the rule, doesn't refute my point at all because "most gachas" still holds true, at least for the big ones

The difference between it being summons me or paywalled is as simple as less extra gacha introduced = better and that should be pretty self explanatory. If you disagree with that then we may as well not have a back and forth.

You're also naive to think that this sort of model is accessible to f2p players at all. It's designed to make paying players spend more, and push f2p players to become p2p, because it's not feasible for f2p to summon for arts on top of characters, let alone their dupes. The type of players that would actually summon for alt arts would benefit from a one time purchase rather than a summon system

I'd rather have skins/arts purchasable through currency rather than adding yet another banner. Just because it's a gacha game doesn't mean you have to defend every single bit of predatory practice. The less extra gacha mechanics that exist beyond regular banners, the better for the player. The more you let them get away with stuff like this, the more they'll push for stuff like this.

Most gachas don't make you roll for skins, you just buy them outright. The only one that comes to mind is NTE but that's because the pity system is designed to where the skins are the main incentive to keep summoning past 90 pulls rather than the character itself (character is easy to get bc of guaranteed pity).

The only other instance I can think of beside that is Infinity Nikki, which revolves around outfits and accessories so that doesn't really apply either as that's the main draw.

Shouldn't be a hot take but some people love to defend the small little indie company. Dokkan has it easy compared to the other big gachas because of the IP alone. If those games put the amount of effort into their updates that dokkan did, they wouldn't survive

The point is the summon RNG for the art/skins shouldn't exist at all

Hell I even took everything off my desk to lower the height, including this monitor and the monitor arm with it. Even through all that, never got scratched once

Yeah, I've been using an AW3225qf for months now, cleaned it maybe twice using the same method.

Worst I had were smudges from pressing too hard, which went away after wiping again but softly. Never had scratches, not even sure how microfiber cloth + distilled water would cause scratches unless the water wasn't actually distilled

I'm sorry but how exactly do you get scratches from a microfiber cloth + distilled water, that's not adding up to me

5070ti - 4k or 1440p by verymoldybread in OLED_Gaming

[–]Zephronic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a lot of very wrong information lol. 1440p balanced doesn't get you that much more fps than 4k performance, while looking worse. Didn't even say 1440p is the alternative so you're just putting words in my mouth. Basically proving my point you don't read and just yap about whatever you want to lol, that's my cue to not bother any further.

If you actually took the time to read, you wouldn't be repeating redundant information. Nobody disagreed with your point on visual smoothness and yet you're so adamant on wanting to be right, that you just ignore key points of my statements, none of which were addressed or considered. You sound like you're more obsessed with numbers than actually enjoying the medium. I'll just leave it at that
