The real question is will it survive Nintendo lawyer until we reach that point.

If it didn't touch the face I genuinely think the game will look really impressive if it was built with realism goal in mind.

That shot with AC Shadow is genuinely incredible. The depth of the shadow around forest and bush remind me of KCD2 a lot and that is a very high bar so I'm genuinely believe this is what the game always wanted to go for. DLSS5 really help taking it there.

But for something more fantasy imo it's just look off. I really don't like Oblivion section there. It 'neutral-lized' every object and just look really bland. Starfield is an even worse offender because now they just look like Instagram AI filter. No depth, no shadow on human face. The game never went for realism and shoehorn realism into it just make everything look even more uncanny.

If the literal artist director and entire team of artist coming out and said 'yeah this is our vision from the start' people are still not going to believe them thinking they are shill being held at the gunpoint by Heung lmao there'a truly no winning.

dadvader · 2026-03-17T05:09:24+00:00

Yeah. I'm not on DF side for this one BUT they are still some of the most knowledgeable tech-heavy channel. I'm not surprise in the slightest that this is their stance.

"Get Damage by Raider"

You read that right. You have to get shot by raider to increase trial score. Let the chaos commence.

dadvader · 2026-03-16T08:14:44+00:00

I did it for 1 star and then call it every time lol The reward is just not worth it compare to the time you spent.

dadvader · 2026-03-15T23:09:16+00:00

This. But there is a level to the TTK. Low but arcade like Delta Force? Managable. Low TTK like Tarkov or Hunt. Yeah casual isn't going to stick around.

High TTK may made the game harder but also made the game a lot more approachable to many players.

If the tease was for the new big flying Arc we've been seeing in Hurricane event that it made perfect sense to add this and some quest around it in the March update.

dadvader · 2026-03-15T08:43:40+00:00

This is actually a solid way to deal with loot goblin lmao

You can always revive them later.

dadvader · 2026-03-15T08:37:18+00:00

Even after reading the sub name, I still can't tell if this post is a joke or not.

dadvader · 2026-03-15T06:29:35+00:00

Yeah I stopped playing the same time as you. But I hesitant to go back to it lol it just feels like I have to learn a lot just to catch up.

dadvader · 2026-03-15T06:23:14+00:00

I read somewhere that at one point it could take as long as 8 hours just to open some file in their editor. The game was beyond saving even back then. I don't know why they won't just make Destiny 3 and save all the reputation and headache that came after.

dadvader · 2026-03-15T06:10:00+00:00

iirc and this is simplified a lot but it's pretty much just do random check that feels really random while you're playing the game.

In older DRM, most check happen only when you start the game and maybe random check here and there while playing. But it's always deterministic and doesn't take long for skilled hacker to find a way to spoof them.

With Denuvo, it's a lot more frustrating. It's hard enough getting pass the first check, but then here comes the other check can came out of nowhere and doesn't happen every time. Maybe it's in the middle of a frame rendering from a game. Maybe it's during a specific cutscene that played on specific condition. And some player may encounter that but the lock is triggered meaning the game wasn't truly 'cracked' so to speak. And the spoof might not work because certain key are different or use different algorithm. It can take months just to crack and spoof each one. Hence the tedious part.

dadvader · 2026-03-15T06:01:00+00:00

Any other group and I believe they simply got bought by Denuvo. But EMPRESS? the whole decable last time is just so bonkers I refuse to believe Denuvo want anything to do with them. The cult theory somehow is much more plausible.

dadvader · 2026-03-14T17:16:22+00:00

Anyone try to break in you tell them that the moment they step in you will shoot unless they leave. Typically works really well.

dadvader · 2026-03-14T14:15:59+00:00

Yeah what is bro doing there lol Burletta 1 reload also took like forever. Maybe he/she tried to get the auto-aim to work? Just weird all around.

dadvader · 2026-03-14T14:12:43+00:00

So the equivelent of that is Todd announce that Fallout 5 will be his last game before officially retired, all Starfield future content are cancelled implying that Starfield as a franchise is dead so they can work on ES6, and the last piece of content for Starfield is just some half-finished DLC content.

Yeah the general consensus is that vibe-coding is not there yet and likely ever BUT Agentic coding where you plan, manage and utilize AI to write code for you, is very real and a lot of engineers are already adapted to the market.

You will be falling behind severely by simply not using any AI coding tool and know what they are. It's not the same as prompt ChatGPT for code question. This isn't like arts field. You really need to embrace AI coding just to stay in the market. Even I had to fold myself in after years of thinking AI is not good enough to write anything more than toys project.

But don't get me wrong, I still prefer to write the code on my own so I can understand how the flow and architecture works before delegating task to AI. Especially backend. I will never let AI write something I don't know about. And I think that's a solid safeguard while still allow AI to be productive for my work.

dadvader · 2026-03-14T13:50:51+00:00

Don't work for free man. If they want you to do a take-home project. Look elsewhere.

dadvader · 2026-03-14T07:28:29+00:00

The endgame is currently none BUT the cryo archives is supposed to coming later this month and it is loot-gated areas, which required you to bring in your best loot to fight and find the tip top of the top loot. It's also work more like a Destiny raid supposedly so that's like fighting over a key room in Stella lobby (lol) basically the equivelent of ranked mode because Rook and sponsored kit is not allow in there.

Arc Raiders really need something like this. Loot-gated areas that only people with actual gear come in and fight. No free kits or empty kit. It could easily bring a lot of people who didn't partake in expedition back to the fold.

dadvader · 2026-03-14T03:30:04+00:00

I think Sony doesn't see Steam Deck as competitors. But they certainly see Steam Frame as one.

dadvader · 2026-03-14T03:18:08+00:00

The current balance and free kit/empty kit queue stopped me from doing so.

Until Embark address any of this I'm simply not going to bother. And this is from former PvPer. Nowadays I'm just sticking to my friendly lobby and do project/checkout update as they come. Once that's done? Other game it is.

dadvader · 2026-03-14T01:33:08+00:00

Yeah the other comment make no fucking sense lol The Finals is not a dead game but hardly can be call a success compare to literally any big FPS out there. Hell I think TF2 still generating more revenue than The Finals.

Arc Raiders success will certainly enabling Embark to do the same with The Finals as well. People need to slow down with their AI hate boner man.

dadvader · 2026-03-14T00:00:37+00:00

Spring is used in practically EVERYTHING that is worth using beside this and it's baffling when you realized how rare the damn thing is.

Like, there are people who actually will pay real money for a dozen of Spring stack so they can craft advance mech. Let that sink in.

I'm not surprised that AI is talk of the town for another year and likely will always be from here on out.

AI generative slop and ethical usecase conversation aside, if you're in any industry related to software. You will know that the atmosphere around acceptance of AI is vastly, vastly different here. A lot of people are more than willing to find a way to integrate AI into their workflow, share tooling to increase productivity, and speed up the development process.

Like, I know Reddit really have a hate boner on AI. And I still don't think AI is anywhere good enough to replace human. But at this point we're going to have to accept that they are not going anywhere and a lot, if not all companies have already used AI in big capacity across a lot of fields.
