Lots of MMOs work that way. I’m not talking about the fact that the game is multiplayer, I’m talking about the fact that the core gameplay does not offer the same uniquely immersive experience currently only found in single player Bethesda games like Skyrim or Fallout 4.
One example: The way Bethesda games track an enormous number of physics enabled objects across their open worlds. I feel like most games in the last 10 years have made a point of simplifying their physics systems to a point of near-nonexistence.
Bethesda knows that when I dump 500 wheels of cheese on the floor of my house in Whiterun, I want it all to still be exactly where I left it when I come back 20 hours later.
And the simulation complexity, which leads to an endless sea of bugs. Imitators typically just leave a lot of this out. But Bethesda knows that when the player dumps 500 wheels of cheese in their house in Whiterun, they better still be there and fully physics-enabled when they come back 20 hours later.
These kinds of games are extremly difficult to build. Skyrim still does things I haven’t seen any game other than Fallout 4 do since.
I don’t buy this. TES Online and actual TES games are so fundamentally different that they do not have the same audience. There are probably millions of people who will buy TES6 but have no interest in playing an MMORPG.
If the bottleneck is something like AI or physics calculations on the CPU then lowering the rendering resolution won’t help achieve a higher framerate unfortunately.
I suspect most games shipping this gen without 60 FPS modes are CPU bound.
40 FPS is such a good compromise. It feels great on a compatible TV.
Reddit does, but my fellow netizens do not. I’ve experienced way too much frustration running into dead links and deleted posts when hunting down old obscure information to willingly put that burden on others.
The problem is other people can’t find that data.
If Reddit doesn’t back down, I will likelky be shutting down my subreddit. But I’ll put it in read-only mode rather than killing it entirely, because there is useful information there and I don’t want to contribute to link rot.
Brave’s CEO opposes same-sex marriage in the US and donated money to anti-LGBT groups. It’s why he was ousted at Mozilla. As a result I cannot in good conscience use anything from Brave.
They don’t seem to understand where the customer confusion comes from. A lot of people out there don’t really realize that a Core i7 could mean very different things because that name has been slapped on new CPUs for…15 years. They delineate product generations as part of a model number (2600k, 6700k, etc). There is so much ambiguity when someone just says their computer has a Core i7, non tech-savvy folk aren’t going to remember the string of numbers that comes after that.
AMD copied them, and that probably leads to similar confusion.
Apple seems to be the smart one in the room when it comes to CPU naming. The generation of the product is right there in the first part of it’s name: M1, M2, etc. The performance class is suffixed (no suffix, Pro, Max, Ultra).
