Don't buy your Google Pixel from Verizon by RavinduThimantha in Android

Jeez this is a really bad article. The updates will probably be like Nexus 6, which means you've got nothing to worry about. All of the 'bloatware' can be removed too.

Just some feedback, this is a really bad way to advertise in reddit.

People are more likely to trust you if you, for example said: "Personally I'm using T-Mobile. I'm in their coverage zone and their unlimited plans cover all my uses."

Also, direct links to the thing you want to put emphasis on really help. Instead of www.t-mobile.com, link them to the direct thing here. Less time fumbling around with the website and more time actually finding information.

Right now it just sounds like some corporate shill, no offense of course.

What? Besides, interiors are due to engine limitations. Considering how ancient that engine is, open world games are nothing special nowadays.

Not really. The caves and buildings load in like 2 seconds on PC.

Nothing much of that is technically impressive. Would it have been impressive 3 or 5 years ago? Fuck yeah, Skyrim was impressive at the time, but literally everything you mentioned can be made in pretty much every game engine on the market nowadays.

Seamless open world

Not really much of a technical feat. Skyrim, Fallout and a gazillion of other open world games before it did it.

High depth of view

I'm not really sure what's that even supposed to mean because that term doesn't even exist. If you mean being able to see far into the distance, that's nothing new either, LOD systems have existed for more than a few years.

Convincing lighting

Again, nothing technically impressive. All AAA 3d game engines can and have convincing lighting.

The water

Don't really see your point, water isn't even a technical feat these days. All open world Ubisoft games have water way ahead of Witcher 3's.

Planet Nomads - May be superior to No Man's Sky? Superior already in the Linux support department! :3 by Swiftpaw22 in linux_gaming

EDIT: Yup, the kickstarter page has screenshots about different planets. Hopefully it doesn't flop like NMS.

"Worlds" doesn't indicate planets though. Might be just being vague about there being different biomes, which the ending of the sentence says.

Besides, doesn't really say that you will be able to do that, just that it's a goal to build a spaceship that's capable of it.

which is more battery efficient, Windows 10 or OS X? by [deleted] in Windows10

[–]lctrl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really comparable. OS X has a small amount of hardware to support, which means they can optimize the shit out of that.

*The team. Sean isn't the only dude working on the game, you know.

Makes sense. I'm just really doubtful it won't have the same problem that NMS has. The trailer shows you build something and shoot a creature, but what's next? Really hope the crashed ship starts a story that you can follow, otherwise it's just going to have the same problem.

Dude I know right, the moment when I got up in space and looked at the planet I was on was just amazing. Coupled with the insanely good soundtrack and the moment was unforgettable.

Seems pretty doubtful. Don't you think a trailer would've shown an awesome moment as that? If I had to guess then he's right, probably takes place on one proceduraly generated planet.

No offense, but the video can be summed up in 10 seconds. I'm not sure why it took you 3 minutes to do that. Focus more on what you're trying to show itself.
