"Our bloatware app now has almost half the useful features of the old no-nonsense streamlined app" - nvidia

This always happens to me with bethesda games, when they come out, I enjoy them, put 100 hours in them. But by the time the expansions come out, I'm like: Nah, I'm good, can't be bothered to re-learn the mechanics and get back into the grind. Same happened with Oblivion, Skyrim, Fallout3,4, and...

Nanite is a deliberate trade-off on performance for ease of use. Ironically their Unreal Engine business model is the same as the Epic games store one: Disregard player interests and try to win over devs through means that are outright bad for consumers of games.

BS. UE5 games don't run smooth on hiend hardware either, not just "certain PCs"

Is there a way to make the showing of avatars optional? I think they make the forum look like a cluttered mess. It's OK inside threads, but they are really bothering me on the main forum page and threads lists.

Funny how there were no cheaters when the community used to run their own servers. Cheaters were weeded out. But of course the corporation wants central control. So this is really their own **** fault.

Yeah, the Matrox Parhelia if I remember the name correctly. Everyone was excited for it, but then it was either a dud or never even released, I don't remember which.

S3 had some decent attempts with the Savage3D and later Savage4 and maybe Savage2000 models.

I was hoping for 32GB on the higher end. 24GB is only 50% more than what I already have. Member when we used to double or even quadrulpe the RAM / VRAM in a single year with one upgrade?

Not sure about it being early access. I don't want to play a half finished game, especially not if every update resets progression.

He just makes things different for the sake of being different not for the sake of being better. I'll take a proven formula over kojima's any day. Death Stranding could've been good if it had proven mechanics instead of "Oh, I'm so edgy and unique". He is the modern artist equivalent of...

They would do that if their intent was indeed for most people to enjoy their games. But it's clearly not. They know they can sell 1000 $100 skins to whales but not sure if they can 100.000 1$ skins to normal people.

I usually end up wildly underestimating my spending on my hobbies when I think I'm highballing it :D

For Ubisoft it's actually: " The more you buy, the less obstacles we roll in front of your enjoyment" I have no problem with microtransactions that provide new content (a new skin is not new content).

I don't recall if it happened before, but even one CTD is one too many. I started a new game in 2.3, but when the game was supposed to load the ripperdoc UI it crashed to desktop instead. I couldn't be bothered to try again to see if it is a persistent issue or a one time glitch.
