There are so many big budget games out recently that I’m massively backlogged on just 2024 games.
I don’t ascribe to this weirdo youtube fed narrative that everything is bad now, everything is so good right now I’m having an amazing time.
The smartest thing Apple has done in the past decade is buy TSMC a factory. They just gave a TSMC a factory for free, with the deal being they have guaranteed time every year, no fighting.
That’s what let them make their own laptop cpus, time. The M cpus aren’t good because of arm, or apple geniuses, but rather TSMC bleeding edge tech and high yeilds. And of course, every company that didn’t buy TSMC a factory has to fight for time, meaning everyone else loses out.
The costs of being a bleeding edge chip fab make reproducing tsmc elsewhere unattainable.
I’m saying that asking for information on the details of what is or is not in it, is a bad idea. because we don’t know, you don’t know, anyone getting mad and saying one thing or the other is a bad idea.
saying that it can’t make higher framerates when framegen exists is a bad idea, until we know it doesn’t do that.
i’m so tired of this community, reddit was better. be better.
It’s not even an announced product, this is all rumours
Frame generation is a thing.
This is like saying new pcs barely have a reason to exist because old pcs can play some new pc games.
You can frame this as I don’t like non cosmetic microtransactions if you like. But you have to agree that isn’t what 99% of the online discourse is doing. Almost everyone is making statements that are not true because they want to feel outraged and want others to feel outraged, and because they have been lied to by another person’s outrage.
It’s a hurricane of lies, and it’s honestly been worse on lemmy than on reddit.
There was never any need. All the micro transactions were just time skips for the dumb. The systems are the same dragons dogma systems they had in the first one. They didn’t artificially change things to be grinder. They just put in paid for cheats.
If you want to use them, that’s fine, and certainly, this over paying for it. But people framing this as a need is bad. Which is expected of eurogamers headlines the past few years.
I gave up on cyberpunk 20 or so hours in. The lack of interesting side stories is a part of the reason why. This feels like the article is gaslighting
It’s the same system as the first game. They designed the same system. I don’t know what is so hard to understand about this. They added skips for idiots that want to pay extra, but for the rest of us it’s the same damn thing as it was last time.
Honestly, I can’t take the outrage culture of lemmy anymore. It’s made this place unbearable.
It’s the same experience that was in the first game. It’s not worse, it’s the intended experience.
You literally can, fast travel is a part of the game. And just like in the first game it’s limited behind an item. It’s is the exact same system the series has had for a decade. Just they let rich idiots skip the system.
Again, it’s the same exact system that was in the first game
You can just use ingame items
Yup, and that seems to be going okay for them. Maybe the guttural reaction you have to that information is misplaced.
We all hate the execs, ofc. But this is a non news story. Two guys who have absolutely nothing to lose, totally independent from the studios and with absolutely zero power or influence on them, say exactly what the rest of us are saying.
It’s an article designed to illicit the “yes I agree I’ll share this!” Part of your brain, but there’s nothing here to see or talk about.
This is an ad for unity and whatever ai shit they are about to hock
All this new news about the game must mean they are running out of money and need to drive more rubes into the wallet grinder
Shockingly I’m also mad about that. I suppose you support that situation?
Let’s not describe this as “paying valve three bucks” because that’s not accurate and is misleading.
It’s paying valve 30% of your revenue.
The software aspect I won’t argue with. But I will go against the chip design. In 2024, most parts of most chips are built from library prefabs, and outside of that, all the efficiencies come from taking advantage of what the chip fab is offering.
That’s why these made up nm numbers are so important. They are effectively marketing and don’t have much basis in reality (euv wavelength is 13nm~, but we’re claiming 6 now) - what they do indicate is improvements in other aspects of lithography.
Apple aren’t the geniuses here, which is why their M chips were bested by intels euv chips as soon as Intel upgraded its fabs to be more advanced than tsmc for six months. It’s all about who’s fsb is running the bleeding edge.
