Come on. Don't pretend you don't understand the concept of implying something. You said: "Man, I couldn't see limiting myself to a game just because it's not 60fps."
The obvious implication you are making in the context is that it's just a preference-and one you can't fathom-to want to play a game at 60fps instead of 30fps. But to some people, 30fps is not fine, just like 15fps isn't fine to you.
Achievement Unlocked: Goalposts Moved!
Earlier framerate was just a preference, and a silly one at that. Now you admit that it affects gameplay BUT it's only a real problem if it doesn't meet your preferred threshold. But if someone else has a different threshold, that is them just being silly and limiting themselves.
On the analogy, I used an extreme example to prove a point. Some people see 30 fps as choppy and affecting gameplay just like you ...
That's the problem. We need to get past the idea of 30 fps as the acceptable baseline. I won't blame Obsidian or any specific dev for using it because there is this unfortunate expectation that it's okay to push a game as far as you can while still being able to maintain 30 fps. That was fine for the early HD era, but just like we have come to expect a baseline resolution and somewhat consistent control schemes, I think it is reasonable to start expecting 60 fps as a baseline.
Would you play a game at 15fps? Or would you limit yourself in that situation?
To deal with your analogy, what if you are on the ground and the stage is 100 feet above you? Turns out if the stage is at such a height that you can't properly see the play, it doesn't matter how good King Lear is.
Yeah disappointing/mediocre movies will get Oscar nominations for Best Sound or Best Makeup and Hairstyling. Hard to be mad about it getting nominated for an accessibility award.
Getting nominated as Best Action/Adventure game is another story, but I didn't play it so I'll leave the debate to people who did. The videos of the AI behavior and stealth gameplay were not encouraging though.
Lol Assassin's Creed 2 is the game that introduced most of the things people say they hate about modern Ubisoft games specifically and open world games generally.
Yeah the mistake was not the update. The mistake was calling it a remastered version of the game and making it a new release.
Of course, had they just made it a free update, you would have had the pitchfork mobs coming after them for "ruining" the game and not leaving the option to access the old version.
Also, Bloodborne is supported by BC, but people on here would sell their souls for a remaster.
Yes I am encouraged by this. I was somewhat worried about how well my PC would run this game, but given these benchmarks, I think I'll be able to achieve a decent frame rate with the settings turned down and DLSS cranked up.
So unfortunate. I'd subscribe to premium in a heartbeat if I could play Resistance: FoM for real on there. But game streaming is and always will be trash.
That has been unfortunate the last two generations. Presumably it is similar thinking to why Nintendo rarely cuts the prices of its major first party games or puts them on sale. If people are always expecting a big sale or price cut in a few months, they are always going to be less willing to pull the trigger. And then when you do a major price cut, you inevitably alienate everyone who bought the console right before. Presumably Sony/MS looked at data from the PS3/360 era and determined that ...

Umm, that's exactly my point lol. Insomniac made great, original IP games and people didn't buy them because they were too busy lapping up yearly CODs and Assassin's Creeds, so naturally Sony/Insomniac had to pivot to something else.
.
Thanks for turning Insomniac into a Marvel studio.
Same thing with Baldur's Gate 3 at launch. People were so busy binge playing the digital version of the game, they forgot they were supposed to be mad about the lack of a physical version.
The PC requirements are actually relatively low.
Has Kotaku broken any stories since Jason Schreier left? I was never a fan, but while he was there it was still a valuable site because he actually developed sources and broke news stories relevant to gaming and tech.
No.
Yeah I can't believe they didn't work out a GP deal for this. This is exactly the sort of thing Xbox gamers expect to get as part of their subscription.
This is great news. But my understanding is that their customer support told people the game would include Denuvo. Even if customer support misspoke or that entire story was fabricated, if they really hadn't planned to use Denuvo I don't know why they waited so long to correct the record. It feels more like they saw a hit to their pre-order numbers when th Denuvo stories came out and now they want good press to get those people back.
Lol Back 4 Blood infuses the L4D formula with basically every negative modern game design trend of the last fifteen years. Multiple currency systems, unnecessary grinding/unlocks/cosmetics, unnecessary hub world.
Not to mention the game is just worse. In L4D2 enemies would feel like they actually existed within the world and were coming from somewhere. In B4B they literally just materialize. L4D2 had way more variation in levels too, and the Special Infected don't all f...
