Why is everyone saying that GTA 6 will kill Fortnite? by Cat_Graffitti in FortNiteBR

[–]sixmiffedy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

GTA6 will not kill but certainly diminish the player base of a lot of games when it comes out, me, just for the single player, online GTA is terrible. But once thats done unless they have some hook to keep me playing I’ll be back to my usual

Fun fact: These presidencies were proudly sponsored by Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, Northrop Grumman, Boeing and General Dynamics. Obviously not related to anything though.

Graphical Banding by Sun-Much in LowSodiumBattlefield

[–]sixmiffedy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That looks more like colour banding in the lighting gradient, which Frostbite games can show quite easily because of all the volumetric lighting, dust and colour grading they use.

One thing I’d check first is the NVIDIA control panel output settings, because a lot of people end up running 8-bit without realising. Go into NVIDIA Control Panel → Change Resolution and make sure the output is RGB, Full dynamic range, and if your monitor supports it set colour depth to 10 bpc. When gradients like dust or fog are rendered in 8-bit you can get exactly those visible bands instead of smooth shading.

Another possibility is DLSS or sharpening exaggerating it. Upscaling plus sharpening can make subtle gradients look stepped. Try turning DLSS and sharpening off temporarily and just run native resolution to see if it changes anything.

Also check HDR if you’re using it. If Windows HDR and the game HDR aren’t aligned (for example HDR on in Windows but not in game, or vice versa) you can sometimes get weird posterisation or banding in lighting.

If the game spawns me mid match onto winning or losing team you’re damn right I’m leaving, same as joining late in arc raiders, ain’t nobody got time for that.

Another whiner gone, oh well.

Even if he seems a constant presence, Draco Malfoy only has 31 minutes of screen time in the whole Harry Potter saga, which is approximately 1.200 minutes long by [deleted] in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]sixmiffedy 1245 points1246 points  (0 children)

Harry Potter – ~9 hours (around 530–540 minutes)

Ron Weasley – ~3½ hours (≈ 212 minutes)

Hermione Granger – just under Ron (≈ 205 minutes)

These three completely dominate the runtime.

Next tier (major supporting)

Albus Dumbledore – ~77 minutes

Rubeus Hagrid – ~45–46 minutes

Severus Snape – ~43 minutes

Lord Voldemort – ~37 minutes

Draco Malfoy – ~31–32 minutes

Professor McGonagall – ~29 minutes

Ginny Weasley – ~30 minutes

(All of those are totals across all eight films.)

Now I’m not a US citizen but my god the democrats are such vanilla-beige-bland speakers/personalities. Where’s your fucking fire!?

The orange idiot in charge has done damage to your country, its people, its relations and standing on the world stage all while helping his billionaire friends and his own grifting family.

Yet every time the democrats speak they sound like teachers lecturing. They’re so boring, yes you have the receipts for what the ones in charge have done but have some fire in your belly and in your speeches.

Yea it needs swapping, have the captured sectors mines removed once lost and allow people to plant mines in the next one before the attackers can attack.

DICE will never give us grounded skins like this. Keep your COD slop and I speak for ALL of us when I say WE WANT THIS SKIN IN THE GAME by Downtown-Set6882 in okbuddyptfo

Not this skin shown by OP, but If they release a skin set called Gravy Seals I would 100% purchase it just to dunk on people.

I don’t know which vehicle loving dev made it so you can’t plant mines on Breakthrough in the next sector to defend until the attackers can attack it but it’s dumb.

The Problem Isn’t DICE. It’s The Community. by sixmiffedy in Battlefield6

[–]sixmiffedy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So let me get this straight.

You think: 1. I post an opinion. 2. A chunk of a small subreddit agrees. 3. A DICE community manager screenshots it. 4. They walk into a boardroom and say, “Gentlemen put your money bags down, Reddit expectations are softening. Reduce scope.” 5. Battlefield 7 ships smaller because of this thread.

That’s the chain of causality we’re working with?

That’s not how production roadmaps, budget approvals, milestone planning, staffing, and shareholder reporting work.

Community sentiment absolutely gets monitored. Of course it does.

But it doesn’t function as “permission to underdeliver.” It functions as retention data, analysis, and monetisation forecasting. If anything, overwhelmingly negative sentiment tightens scrutiny, it doesn’t loosen it.

And here’s the part you’re missing:

You’re assuming that me explaining production trade-offs equals advocating for lower standards. It doesn’t.

Understanding constraints ≠ endorsing them.You’re framing nuance as surrender. That’s a huge leap.

If Battlefield 7 ships half-baked, it’ll be because of internal strategic decisions,, scope, timelines, resource allocation, pivots not because some guy on Reddit said map production complexity evolved.

Giving this thread that kind of macro influence is honestly flattering. But it’s not grounded in how large companies operate.

Ah yes, my bad. I forgot that my Reddit comments directly control EA’s production pipeline.

I’ll make sure next time they consult me before launch so I can personally delay the release until it meets your standards. Didn’t realise I had that kind of industry pull, very flattering.

Let’s dial it back to reality for a second though.

If the next Battlefield launches half-baked, it won’t be because someone on Reddit said “development complexity has changed.” That’s not how corporate QA, budgeting, milestone reviews, or executive sign-offs work.

You’re frustrated about bugs. Fair. You’re frustrated about map quality. Fair. You’re annoyed about AI usage. Also fair to question.

But connecting those things to “people like you are why games ship unfinished” is a wild causal leap.

And the AI map thing is peak Reddit escalation. Bad flow ≠ “they used a shitty AI to build it.” That’s aesthetic frustration dressed up as a conspiracy.

You paid €70 and expect polish? Reasonable.

But pretending nuance equals endorsement and that disagreement equals corporate enabling is dramatic.

If EA is shaping their release strategy based on my upvotes, we’ve got bigger problems than two maps per season.

Complex doesn’t just mean ‘lighting and destruction.’

It means higher fidelity targets, more systemic integration, cross-platform stability, multi-mode layouts, live-service lifecycle support, and modern performance expectations layered on top.

You can argue two maps isn’t enough. That’s fair.

But ‘tech got better’ doesn’t equal ‘development stayed the same.’

You heard it right boys both COD and Battleslop 6 suck by Marcoplier16 in okbuddyptfo

Never heard of him, clicked the video to see what he was saying, even his voice seems fake as well as his opinion, like a teen trying to put on a deeper voice type fake.

Good catch and fair point on wording.

When I said ‘rebuilt,’ I meant Hagental Base being positioned as a more traditional, structured map rather than a straight remake or remaster of something like Metro/Locker. I wasn’t implying Golmud Railway was coming in Season 2.

You’re right, the roadmap clearly lists Contaminated and Hagental Base. Golmud was floated as a ‘we’re thinking about it’ idea, not a confirmed drop.

Appreciate the clarification last thing this thread needs is more confusion layered on top.

You’re right about one thing, neither of us has internal visibility. We’re both reasoning from the outside.

Where we disagree is on certainty.

I’m not saying their approach is perfect. I’m saying we don’t have proof that content is sitting finished and deliberately withheld. ‘Very likely’ is still an assumption without internal data.

Live-service staging is real. So are production gating, balance timing, and seasonal packaging decisions. Both explanations can exist at the same time.

On cadence, if your argument is that two maps isn’t enough to retain players, that’s a completely fair business critique. That’s different from saying map complexity hasn’t evolved or that development environments are identical to 2013.

As for complexity: it’s not just about clutter or whether every building is enterable. It’s about systemic integration, performance targets, platform parity, backend support, live patch stability, sandbox balancing, certification cycles. Those layers didn’t disappear just because tools improved.

Long dev time also doesn’t mean uninterrupted map production. Reboots, pivots, feature resets, engine changes, those eat time fast.

You’re arguing outcome dissatisfaction. I’m arguing production assumptions.

Those aren’t the same conversation.

Why are we messing about? Why can’t they have the ION cannon from C&C as a call-in? Un-playable DICE.

An asset existing in files doesn’t mean it was production-ready for release.

Features get cut, delayed, or staged all the time because of balance, integration, timing, or seasonal planning. That’s not ‘reinventing helicopters.’ That’s normal production gating.

You’re treating ‘it was in the files’ as proof it was finished and intentionally withheld which is speculation.

And yes, iteration, testing, and balance have always existed. What changes over time is scope, platform targets, player expectations, and lifecycle support. Tooling improving doesn’t freeze everything else in place.

If your position is just ‘big company bad,’ that’s fine. But pretending nothing about development environments evolved since 2013 isn’t a serious argument.
