Pretty happy with Brave, but I’m guessing that being a downstream chromium fork they’ll eventually be stuffed and forced into using V3?

Used unity for my last 3 games and I’m getting really really tired of their shithouse performance over the last 3-4 years. They’ve gone from constantly making new features, tutorials and systems to barely doing anything.

Engines need constant feature packed updates, not bare bones rubbish. For example there’s no DLSS support for URP, it only works in HDRP. There’s also “no plans” for it according to the devs, which boggles the mind considering URP is arguably the better platform for mobile, console and regular console gaming.

Game engines should be rapidly evolving and supporting these features, they should take 3-4 years to get commonly implements features or to have to rely on third party plugins to make them happen.

If you don’t have the strength to physically get it back then I guess you’ll have to live with the loss tbh

Be very keen to see steam OS everywhere, there’s a vetted interest in valve getting this widely adopted (more devices running it means more eyes on steam and more potential sales)

I’m keen to see the hardware variations device manufacturers come up with when they can just throw steam os on them and it all “just works”

Least it’ll have 32x9 support for when I pick it up on sale down the track, that’s nice.

These graphically intensive games need to launch with DLSS/FSR parity, adding it in later isn’t great for the end user

That’s a great outfit mate

Hilarious, though this was an onion post

So that’s what keeps happening to all my cookies!

It reminds me of those horror movies where little creatures all merge together to form one large grotesque abomination. I bet they’re tasty tho!

Manpower is crucial when you’re stranded, definitely the right choice, a two for one deal!

Game was worth picking up for a dollar on a 14 day Xbox PC game pass trial membership. I got to see first hand how dogshit the performance is! Look at these great numbers (medium settings, no DOF, no volumetrics, 1440p, no vsync)

Look at it absolutely obliterate my 4090 and push my 13900k to the limit. Love to see games released in this state…

It’s performance, especially on top of the line hardware (13900k + 4090) is dogshit yeah? Just so we’re under no illusions about the state this game was released in.

The icing on the cake is colossal orders gaslighting saying that there’s no practical benefit to having anything above 30 FPS, as if there’s not a tangible benefit to playing games at a smooth 60FPS compared to a sloppy 30 FPS

Also worth noting that Skylines 2 comes out on Xbox game pass day 1. You can usually pick up a trial for a fortnight, that’s a pretty perfect opportunity to try this on PC (to see how bad it runs for you)

That’s what I’ll be doing, trying it out and most likely skipping it for a few months while they polish it up

You can pick up game pass (which skylines 2 will be coming out on the 24th)

It’s only a buck for 14 days (though that might be region specific) so I’m definitely going to pick it up and give it a go to see how bad the performance is

They’re ugly looking now, that’s the issue. skylines 2 definitely is an improvement over 1, but it’s not an astronomical improvement (like the difference you’d notice with some franchises moving from unreal engine 4 to 5)

The amount of raw performance needed to power this game is what’s shocking. It’s just a lack of optimisation.

I think I’m pretty confident in saying most people aren’t interested in sub 60 FPS, especially if it’s at 1080p and looking the way it does (which is mostly flat and unimpressive)

That’s the most shocking part, the high-end hardware needed to brute force a 1080p game at acceptable framerates

Really disappointed that after a solid 3-4 months of dev diaries, open communication and hype for the game, they drop this performance bombshell on us at the last moment.

They get points for at least giving everyone a weeks notice, but that’s clearly a calculated move (compared to if they kept it quiet entirely and it launched with people unaware)

I’m not instead on playing sub 60 FPS games at 1080p, especially not when I’ve got a 4090+13900k and it crushes almost every other game in existence. The game isn’t pretty enough to justify such terrible performance, it’s just purely unoptimized now.

Why there’s no DLSS / FSR also at launch is baffling, it helps GPU bottlenecked necked games greatly (even if boosting from a native 30 to 60 is a bit yuck)

Really disappointed

Best part is when they’re shit and don’t categorize / separate out their notifications into categories I just turn notifications off. If companies want to play by the rules and have properly segmented notifications I’m happy to let some of them through, else they’re all getting disabled

A gut wrenching mistake, hopefully you’ll only make it once!

They can’t be trusted. They already tried to slip their hand into your pocket and now that it’s been successfully smacked away they’re trying to act apologetic. The only time I want people getting their hands in my pocket is when I’m getting a handy, not when they’re trying to take unearned dollars because they need to boost their bottom line
