It's not exactly like Halo 2 for a reason. That stuff wasn't in Halo 2 because it was Halo 2, it's in H2A because it's not Halo 2.

I think I understand what you just said, but say it one more time just in case.

Haven't browsed b.net since the downgrade. From what I've seen, it's even more of a cesspool than it used to be.

God dammit das, now I want a bacon n' egg buscuit.

Blackflag was on XBO/PS4 and turned out fine.

Black Flag was just a prettied up port of a game designed for 7th gen though.

And the port turned out better than a product that was designed for the console. It's not like porting means that it doesn't use the hardware either, a ported game has to be made to run on the console. "We don't know how to use it" isn't an argument because we've clearly seen that they can do it, even if it didn't have 4K cutscenes or whatever.

This isn't "we can't optimize", it's "we didn't bother to fix these problems or scale back because you'll buy it anyway."

Ubisoft has NEVER given a damn about optimization. Hell, they said in an interview that optimizing PC games is stupid and to just buy new hardware (instead of expecting them to deliver a polished product.)

Uhh... You guys realize your body gets replaced on the atomic level every year, right?

Of course. But not all at once, like what the teleporter would do. It'd be like the difference between Chicago eventually changing over the course of a decade vs a bomb destroying it and being rebuild.

As long as my current perception continued to exist, no because I don't want to go to NZ (although seeing Ruby would be neat). But if the me going into the teleporter ended-- my consciousness ended-- and another me came out, without "my" consciousness, then no.

You could always say "I give just the slightest infinitesimal of a care needed to make this post."

but again

that's still different than caring about the topic at hand

I know, but it makes saying "you cared enough to respond" redundant. Then you get to mock people for making stupid decisions!

But what do you not care about? For example, UC4 being 30fps thread, did you not care about it being 30fps? The game itself? Nathan Drake's model change? All of the above?

We need specific lacking of cares Verb, god dammit. You can't just be not caring all willy-nilly.

that's not what this thread is about though
it was the inspiration, because it seemed like sprungli was gonna say that stupid shit, but he didn't

on that subject though, what i don't care about is the fact that the game is in 30fps
because that shouldn't matter

to anyone

I know that's not what it's about, that's why I called it an example. And specifying your lack of care goes a long way to avoiding the dreaded "Why'd you respond then?" response.

Unity isn't bad because they don't know the hardware, it's bad because Ubi Montreal didn't give enough of a shit to QA and fix the mistakes. Blackflag was on XBO/PS4 and turned out fine.

We aren't going to get optimization like we did with the past generations; before, they used custom chipsets that had to be learned (nearly) from scratch. The Xbone and PS4 are mid-tier computers using a modified AMD mobile gpu and CPU. "Modified" would normally make a difference, but AMD's platform since 2013 was to integrate and evolve their technology in such a way that it is easy to interface and more highly-compatible than Nvidia/Intel.

Steady 30fps is most definitely better than a 40-60 range; but this isn't because of optimization issues (not to say it isn't a reason), most developers would rather have high-poly, higher quality textures, and sub1080p than 60fps.

I can't really argue that point considering that I don't know how domestication the dog happened. It could have been a mutual thing, or one-sided. If you know anything about it I'd be interested to read itm

Nearly every dog we've had beside the Chow was adopted. It's a home with food and affection vs the shelter, so I'd think that the situation is a nonchoice. Turning them loose is what probably had them end up in the pound in the first place, so a domesticated animal being set free is giving it the option between dying or being adopted.

Thankfully

Was that a pun?

Spoiler

if not... sorry for being a dick

No, it wasn't a pun. I'm glad now that he was euthanized because he was in a lot of pain at the end of his life.

When I was little, my family had a purebred Chow. Chow dogs run a high risk of gastric cancer because of all the inbreeding and trait selection. And that's what he died of, he was put down the day before Thanksgiving.

Currently have a Bullboxer Pit, she's just the sweetest thing. If I ever get another dog, it'll be either a pit, a boxer, or a mix of the two.

It plays like MonHun, including gear changing and customizing your avatar's features.

Toukiden is a MonHun clone made to fill the gap that was left when MonHun moved to Nintendo consoles. It's not Monster Hunter, but it's still a great game. I'll buy it eventually.
