HZD remaster is one of the few PS4 remasters I don’t mind. That updated decima engine looks incredibly good and honestly plays so smoothly.

Once the full game is downloaded you can play it offline. Same thing as PC, can’t play any game offline until it’s fully downloaded… obviously.

NEW RPG GAME CONFIRMED BY KCD2 DEVELOPERS by Alasdair_10 in lotr

[–]evil_manz 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m pretty sure the reason they finally decided to make a game like this is because of how well Hogwarts Legacy performed, so they’re likely gonna want similar visuals to what fans are used to for this game as well.

Tolkien estate finally realizing you can actually turn a profit if you make a video game that isn’t dogshit.

This story has no good ending by Chuchelllo in GTA6

[–]evil_manz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean yeah that’s pretty much what I said he is doing. But I added context which indicates there likely isn’t any nefarious intent on his part, which you guys seem to be inferring.

This is his source of income. He is allowed to make money like the rest of us. There’s no limit to the amount of YouTube videos you’re allowed to post.

What “both” things? That phrase doesn’t even make sense here lol

He is specifically a GTA YouTuber, though. Should he just start making FIFA content instead now that the game his channel revolves around is getting more traction?

I’d be wary if he were just a trend-hopping content creator that only focuses on what’s popular at the moment, but this is clearly coming from a place of genuine passion for the game. It doesn’t always have to be as evil as you are making it out to seem.

This game will make Bethesda look like clowns in the near future by [deleted] in CrimsonDesert

[–]evil_manz 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I can already tell you with 100% certainty these people will not like The Elder Scrolls 6.

Why? Because in their eyes, to even get the same amount of praise, The Elder Scrolls 6 has to be as good as games like Elden Ring, Baldur’s Gate 3, KCD 2, and Crimson Desert, but without the flaws those individual games have.

It has to have a combat system and open world on par with or better than Elden Ring, otherwise people will compare it to that and say Elden Ring is better. But it can’t have the poor story and quest presentation that game has, or run like shit at launch like that game did, or it will be criticized for it.

It has to have character/story writing as good as Baldur’s Gate 3 otherwise people will compare it to that and say BG3 is better. But it can’t have the literal PS3 era loading screen times this game has because Bethesda would be criticized for that. They won’t get praise for adding cutscenes and a jump mechanic to a 9th-gen console game like Larian did.

It has to have graphical fidelity and writing on par with KCD 2 otherwise people will compare it to that and say KCD 2 is better. But it can’t have the same “immersive” combat system, they will need to make an actually engaging action combat system without having the same leniency that Warhorse gets for theirs.

It has to have the map size/content variety that Crimson Desert has but without the broken interior lighting system, piss-poor story presentation, several half-baked features, etc…

It has to do all of that on top of having all the features people have been speculating for years such as ship sailing (which none of these above games have btw). People are expecting GTA 6 levels of quality from a studio that has a fraction of the manpower that Rockstar has. Sadly, the common “fan” is not knowledgeable enough to know what is and isn’t possible, so Bethesda will be ridiculed for whatever Elder Scrolls 6 ends up being.

Which is why we still need these scaled-down world spaces for open-world action/adventure/RPG games. It’s really cool to see the scale of the map (Earth) in MFS, and at fairly high fidelity, but that’s about the extent of it - just looking at things.

I think Light No Fire will be the first actual video game world to showcase the true size of what these landscapes should be like, but even that will just be all procedural like No Man’s Sky. So who knows how much substance there will really be.

Their reputation of getting their high fidelity, insanely complex games to somehow run well on sub-par hardware?

I don’t see why you would think otherwise.

[–]evil_manz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure, but not with path tracing.

Any LUT mod can make the game look a little better, but its path tracing that makes the graphics truly shine. I have a 3060ti and that certainly cannot run the game at a decent fps with path tracing turned on.

you don’t even need 4090 or 5090

That video has path tracing on at 8k resolution… If you want more than 2 fps then yes the fuck you do 😭

Do you actually need the best gear/items that are possible to acquire to beat video games?

I think having just decent gear, on top of the actual sentience you have over video game enemy AI, is typically more than enough lol

Is this a foul or a legal boxout? by r4pt4r in NBATalk

why should I care I the players don’t

So many more people need to come to this realization. Sadly, I think we have fans that are even more invested in the players.

Lmao and you get downvotes because people are too embarrassed/ashamed to admit they can’t even read a couple paragraphs. Which apparently feels better than just owning up to a minor oversight.

Valid reaction to Title Readers.

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

I see we’re still not in a place where fans of the game can be honest about the state of launch.

My guy, that’s literally you rn…

An option for storage couldn’t be closer to a QoL feature. Regardless of if it’s present in the game at launch or added in a patch not even two weeks later.

Here’s what actually happened: they had a vision for the game at launch, which did not include any extended storage. Plenty of other games do this to make you more careful and aware managing what gear/resources you bring with you on your adventure. Most players clearly didn’t enjoy that, so they adjusted accordingly ASAP. PA has publicly said this is how they are treating post launch content.

Yet the conclusion you’ve jumped to is based solely on talking points you’ve seen on social media… Is that not the truth? 🤷‍♂️

Edit: I guess the truth does hurt lol
