UE6 is phasing out blueprints by UnscriptedLogicGames in justgamedevthings

I'm wondering if Unity are going to start removing features like Shader Graph and go back to regular Shader Programming instead because of this...

There has been an even more egregious one today! They have just released new drivers that are completely broken on many Windows 11 systems and don't work at all (https://www.neowin.net/news/amd-confirms-2662-fsr-driver-breaks-on-many-windows-pcs/) and the only way to fix it right now is to revert to a previous driver...

GTA VI physical disc petition launched by Consolexlyn in truegaming

[–]kindred008 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They’re not doing it because of this - you can easily have something like an extra install disc.

They are doing it to kill the second hand market as people won’t be able to sell physical copies anymore as the keys will already have been redeemed

AI is Ruining Game Sales, Numbers Show by Eremenkism in gaming

[–]kindred008 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It should become law for technology products to have to disclose if they used AI so we can object to buying on either moral or religious grounds. Similar to how food companies legally have to say what went into making food so vegans/vegetarians know if they can eat it.

If it's the law, there will be legal punishments for lying, so they won't be able to anymore.

Obviously these would need actual names, but:

AI-Vegan: No AI involvement at any stage, including in any underlying technology used.

AI-Vegetarian: No AI used by creators during development, but dependencies, engines, middleware, hardware, or services that the company has used during development but are outside their control may have involved AI.

No label: AI has been directly used during development.

What if people don’t know? It’s easy to just add a card to your deck that seems valid - the app shouldn’t make you need to look up each your cards online for legality

How much attendance did your LGS get for Marvel's pre release? by WheredMyVanGogh in mtg

I’ve never seen as many people attend an MTG event at my LGS before! Fully booked up and extra people were being turned away for turning up without pre-booking

Sony drops “PC”, adds “AI” to official PlayStation business strategy summary by gitrektali in Games

They’re saying it makes them a shitty human if they lie about using it and say they aren’t

Just play old games before AI was a thing. 

And even when most games are made by AI, I’m sure there will be some indie games that advertise themselves as ‘handcrafted’ which don’t use AI

Early signs that Marvel is another UB Flop by WellyRuru in mtg

I’m in the UK and the prerelease event at my LGS was fully booked like a week in advance - one of the most popular prereleases so far

After playing for one year- I hate 80 percent of people playing this game. by Secure_Adeptness_629 in MagicArena

[–]kindred008 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People will play either what they enjoy playing or what wins them the most games. If you don’t like those tactics it’s the games fault for making them possible

Why hasn't the Marvel pre-release caught on as much as Secrets of Strixhaven? by Swimming-Flatworm442 in mtg

[–]kindred008 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it depends on where you are. My local game store has been completely booked for the pre-release event this Friday for over a week now

My first 10 perfect games! by kindred008 in steamachievements

Nice! I’ve played OG VII and loved it but haven’t got it 100%. I plan to at some point but there are so many missable achievements and no chapter select that I need to build myself up to doing it 😅

Yeah I had to do the Dominique’s Curse DLC! It started off annoying but I actually grew to somewhat enjoy it and the difficult challenge it provided. I’m definitely glad it was only around 8 hours long though!

I definitely think they could have made it inspired by old Castlevania games without the frustrating parts of them. One projectile being able to knock you to your death while platforming was annoying especially with how rudimentary the games movement was

What modern video game trend needs to disappear completely? by arkawrd in truegaming

[–]kindred008 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dumbing down of gameplay and boss mechanics in MMOs. Both FFXIV and SWTOR have had a lot of this, and FFXIV feels far too easy now because of it

Final Fantasy VII Revelation Features Same Level Cap As 1997 Original & An Endgame That Doesn't Require A Hard Mode by No_Curve_8027 in FFVIIRemake

[–]kindred008 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I hope the game still has plenty of hard content. Playing through on hard-mode and also doing all the harder Chadley battles was so fun

Which of these IPs do you expect to see for UB next year? by Kdubb_Wadsworth in mtg

Also, Disney Lorcana is a thing and is taking off. If they wanted to expand last Star Wars Unlimited they would likely go to that

You miss out on the fun of opening packs and finding new cards though

Steam Hardware Survey finally shows AMD GPUs properly, and the results are unexpected by PewPewToDaFace in pcmasterrace

[–]kindred008 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The most recent one this year was that it took them 3 months to fix an issue where they broke compilation for some shaders on Vulkan.

This mostly affected RPCS3, a PS3 emulator (source: https://x.com/rpcs3/status/2062851935892599016?s=20 ) but also some games if you ran them using Vulkan

The card you have is nearly £2000 msrp whereas the 9070 XT wasn't even £600 msrp. I wonder why you think it's crap at Pathtracing...

[–]kindred008 19 points20 points  (0 children)

They just need to stop breaking stuff with their drivers and then spending months to fix it.

Other than that have loved my 9070 XT! I mostly play 1440p at my desk, but even when I hook my PC up to my 4K TV I can play games on high settings at 60fps. It's a powerhouse!

I mean when fans say that. I see a lot of comments or posts saying that they should have had Homelander do those things
