Vampire masquerade bloodlines…yes I know they’re working on one, but they’ve been working on it for years now and it’s been bouncing around to different devs, which just seem to either try and make it something else or deviate from the original completely.

NMS was what I hoped would be the freelancer part 2 but it’s just an exploring game. While fun on its own, completely lacks any real danger and that just kills it for me.

When I say less, I mean as in assets and things to do. Side quests alone in a lot of games these days are damn near as many hours as the main story is.

Games had a lot less in them as well though, but even then games still took time. OoT, one of the biggest RPGs, released in 98, two 1/2 years of dev time. Games still required time, maybe less, but they also had less in them.

34 mil is nothing when you start looking at the cost of some of these other games, even Skyrim was over 100 million. Like GTA5, with marketing, was like 250 million. Just insanely expensive, and I guarantee you the devs are not pulling in a mil or two a year.

10mil for Hellblade

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingdom_Come:_Deliverance#:~:text=The game reportedly cost 750,million USD%2C including marketing costs.

36mil for KC:D one of the prettiest games of the time…which includes marketing.

The cost of some of these “AAAA” titles is a complete joke.

Another one, before THQ took over, metro 2033, 10-20 million estimate, and while it’s aged a bit, when it first was released it had a good bit of eye candy for a horror game.

Another one would be the first stalker, it’s not what we would consider it today, visual candy, but it’s also over a decade old now, but it was a pretty game when it came out. Cost 5mil to make

Another one:

Crysis 22mil, and if you remember it was one of the benchmarks for the longest times…can it run crysis.

It’s bullshit accounting, they’re not spending it on the devs or the games, they’re spending it on advertising and the c levels Paydays. There are a ton of really good looking games, that had what would be considered shoestring budgets, but these companies bitching about it aren’t actually in it for the games anymore, its just for the money.

Bring back LDs damnit

They can set a auto rejection on offers below a certain threshold, ebay does this with its make an offer.

So Chinese Kanye?

Yea that combo will do it.

You might want to get that checked out. You shouldn’t be feeling pain to that level in your 20s. I’m 40+ and do not have pain and exhaustion from everyday things. I work outside daily on my farm as well. So you really shouldn’t be feeling this at 20.

A huge chunk of them bled over into HLL when it was released into consoles.

If that’s the real one, then it’s pretty obvious why they don’t want to publish it. It’s basically saying what everyone feels, fuck these people who, with a swipe of a pen, can kill thousands.

$100 says they wouldn’t have said shit even if this was a smaller platform than itch and people didn’t basically put them on blast. Funko is just trying damage control now that their customers are calling foul. I seriously hope people stop buying these things as a punishment to this company using shitty AI and not actually apologizing, but I know thats wishful thinking.

Same old story. CP2077 got fucked because of consoles as well.

The 20xx series was expensive, skipped the 3x/4x and went back to amd. Even though I got my 7900xtx on sale, it still was insanely expensive for a gpu…where are the $500 top gpus gone.

Might want to turn the settings down to high and see what it gets you. Check out some of the usergamesettings.ini tweaks on nexus. I do have one applied to my game and it helped a ton.

Nice, I might have to dig it back out, my account I know I had to transfer to like Microsoft or something a few years ago.

Sure thing. 7900xtx paired with a 3900x 32gb ddr4 on nvme drive. Went from 45-50fps with 30fps dips in towns to low 70s high 60s with dips in mid 50s. Outside its 90-100+ fps. This is on high settings @1440p

It’s definitely improved.
