I'm on an SSD as well. But mine are much shorter. Typically within 4 (maybe 5) seconds. For reference my processor is an FX8350, so not exactly a stallion of a CPU.
I think a lot of FF8's story quality hinges on whether you buy into the Ultimecia = Rinoa theory. If you don't then the story is basically a list of unconnected events with no real rhyme or reason behind them. If you do however, the events take on plot-seeding significance.
I played it recently and in this dearth of JRPGs we are experiencing it's still a standout, but I certainly don't consider it a touch on FF7/9/10.
Although I have to say t...
That's a pretty big deal. I can't even fathom getting a game I sourced locally and then getting home and finding out it was in French or something.
I like most of these costumes... except Hitomi's. And TBH Hitomi's costume is the only one that really matters.
True. Though hey, if they are good ports I'm not complaining :D The more the merrier.
@nicksetzer1 It's not irony. I'm actually British :D
But out of all the different spellings out there I think "scepticism" is one of the exceptions that people don't realise is an exception at all, whereas words like "colour" or "centre" are well known.
Skepticism/scepticism is one of those words that has a different spellings in US/British English. But it's one of the exceptions that a lot of people don't realise is an exception at all. For all intents and purposes "scepticism" is a correct spelling.
Yikes. Just got BSOD mid-installation.
Edit: Ran a reinstallation and it worked fine this time. Phew.
Why would AMD spend all the money investing in new tech only to just give it away to the competition? That makes no sense.
What Nvdia is doing here that is different is that they aren't making the tech open ever, under any circumstances. And worse, they appear to be pushing devs to arbitrarily make use of Nvdia specific tech to tank AMD performance in some games.
It worked poorly because it was actually demanding, not because it was a closed standard. Reading the article, in current application Tress FX works almost as well on Nvdia graphics cards as it does AMD as Nvdia had access to the Tress FX code and were able to update their drivers accordingly.
I use Nvdia right now because Nvdia optimised games run like ass on AMD hardware, whereas the reverse isn't the case so much. I don't condone Nvdia's practices, but at the s...
Weird for The Guardian to tackle this topic now. Now that I'm complained, I'm glad to see a story that isn't to do with The Witcher 3 up there for a change.
Including off store shelves.
What you are intersted in? I've been calling for Time Travelers to be localised because I loved the import, but there's no much demand for it because it was panned by Japanese critics. A shame really.
Or, in the case of the Dreamcast, it's shot at point-blank range.
It seems silly to me because what do you want to bet that some modder will come along and add real-time reflections back in like 2 days after release?
"The PCs themselves had more than enough power to achieve this vision, almost certainly. But working on the game across 3 platforms did not make it feasible to keep features included that could potentially break the game as we kept building around it."
Wait. How the hell is that possible? We are talking about videocards that were out in two years ago being able to run the original version of the game?
When only the top two (single GPU) videocards a...
1) Who are you quoting and what is your source?
2) And they couldn't keep these in as options because???
Until I see a thorough explanation as to why keeping options around wasn't feasible I see zero reason to buy into this lowest common denominator angle. It flat out doesn't make sense.
Software by virtue of being software is scalable, and all of those things mentioned scale/toggle without changing the underlying game. The lowes...
Err how? The entire debacle here is on technical prowess, something entirely on the development side. And keep in mind CDPR aren't beholden to a publisher as many dev teams are unlucky enough to be - they had free pick of which publisher to go with and pretty much none of the bending over backwards to meet publisher demands.
I'm just not seeing how Bamco/Spike Chunsoft are at fault here.
Funnily enough I'm playing through the Max Payne's now for the first time. Just started on 3 (not a Remedy game IIRC) and wow... did it turn into Uncharted with bullet-time or what?
The PC version has these choppy pre-rendered sequecnes they need to do something about. At least make the pre-rendered sequences high quality/framerate so it's not so obvious (the one in-engine one I've seen anyway).
