That changes now. Post about the game, anyone from noob to expert, post about modding (game isn’t functional without them imo), strategy guides, AARs or anything having to do with the game.

Graphical Stagnation and Regression Anonymous 01/16/2025 (Thu) 22:02:27 Id: 083375 No. 1061748 [Reply]
<aka "they're gonna take you to the present, where your screen is fucking unpleasant" the thread >aka grafix discussion bread So I don't think it's much of a secret these days that despite <TAA, with ghosting and trailing <mandatory upscaling <framegen <raytracing and pathtracing more and more games are shipping out in worse technical states asking for more power while less is delivered. There are a myriad of reasons for this state of affairs but TL;DR something systemic is definitely going on and it's led to ripple effects like gamers buying more PC indie titles, reevaluation of the eighth generation, backlash against Unreal Engine, and the Threat Interactive drama. "buy new GPU" is no longer a valid dismissal since Nvidia's poor showing at CES, with barely an uptick in compute and the push for 75% fake frames and neural texture compression. Discuss this hot mess.

I wasn't aware of all these issues until I played Stalker 2, which apparently has every single modern graphic problem multiplied by 10. I was like "Why is everything smearing whenever I turn around, I turned off motion blur" before realizing the truth. Really sad.
>hate TAA because of blurriness and ghosting >hate no AA because it's distracting and I hate it >FXAA and SMAA do nearly nothing I just want MSAA back so badly. At least Nvidias TAA is somewhat more usable then most games native TAA
the sweet spot for between graphical fidelity, development costs, and development time was late 6th gen/early 7th gen (minus the piss filter).

>>1160084 I never assume RT as a default when talking about the performance a card can output. But DLSS from what I understand scales much better at 4K than lower resolutions because it had significantly more data to work with. So 4K60 RT is probably not outlandish with the assistance of super sampling tech. I've only heard of frame generation having particularly bad artifacting, and you can simply not use it. Though I have no hands on experience with any of this jewvidia nonsense.

>>1121641 Scuf Envision I think the cross dpad is overrated and strongly prefer the "hybrid dpad" on the Series controllers, so I got this for my dpad centric gaming. Overall I am very happy with it, but using it for longer sessions causes my hands to get a bit cramped due to the shape, but that's a totally subjective thing - some people seemed to like the DS4 but that wrecked my hands. Mechanical switch dpad, face buttons, 2/4 back buttons, side buttons, and triggers if you switch them from analogue.

Can we have a Stalker thread? I've recently tried out what all the fuss around GAMMA is about and I must say it's quite a fun experience For people who don't know, it's a customizable modpack for Anomaly (a freeplay mod consiting all areas of the first 2 stalker games) and comes with its own updater and Mod organizer 2 config. You need the GAMMA launcher fiels wich can be downloaded from theri shitcord, but if you are a boomer like me who doesn't want to make an aacount you can just download this somewhat older build off mediafire and it will update itself upon lauch to the newest version. https://www.mediafire.com/folder/agyul0e6fbban/STALKER_GAMMA Then you need Anomaly itself which can be downlaoded here: https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/downloads Unpack both into their seperate folders and then point the MO2 from the gamma folder towards the Anomaly folder and from there it will be basically autopilot. I enjoyed the A-life in this and how the best parts of the original trilogy are expanded upon, specifically the hobo phase. Weapon and armor upgrades feel siginifcant but you can even start out with some decent gear since you get a few points to spend on a new game. I'd recommend tweaking the MCM settings to your liking though, stuff like dropped ammo amount and gear condition based on rank for example. I also didn't like the brown and colorless look of the default install, reinstalling the grass and weater mods gives several options like spring, summer, autumn, winter etc.

What racing game are you playing?
recently played Cruis'n World on the MAME emulator. I put a lot of quarters in this arcade game as a kid, but I never beaten it until now.

Games with the "Soldier of Fortune" spirit Anonymous 04/19/2025 (Sat) 11:17:59 Id: c1e91a No. 1145712 [Reply]
It's gonna be a specific thread, but bear with me. Basically, I'm looking for more games with the whole "mercenaries doing mercenary things" aesthetic, with people dropping into areas of conflict for a huge paycheck, and perhaps to end in the cover of the Soldier of Fortune magazine (which also had a video game that I liked a lot). Recently, I decided to play Jagged Alliance 2 for the first time. While I'm still learning the game's mechanics, I'm having fun with it, controlling a bunch of guns for hire with distinct personalities and skills, shooting nigs and be paid in handsomely for it. There were also other action games like Mercenaries, where you could buy airstrikes to bomb well guarded areas. I basically just want games where the setting is a bit like an action flick about poeple who made warfare their job.

This is my daily prayer that someone can take up 7.62's engine or core mechanics and port them into a game that's more moddable, more stable and slightly more accessible and doesn't crash every 30 minutes. >just play hard life I tried. It still crashes. I reinstalled, I changed hardware, it's just cursed for me which sucks because the game fucks hard.

The Last of Us Season 2: Electric Trannygaloo: The Movie: The Thread Anonymous 04/08/2025 (Tue) 03:57:55 Id: 2f9241 No. 1087091 [Reply] [Last]
The review embargo just lifted for this wonderful series which I know is near and dear to the hearts of many a /v/irgin, so I am making this thread so we can discuss how the TV adaptation of our favorite video game is going! To start off, here are a few noteworthy articles >'The Last of Us' Season 2 Review: Somehow, the Best Video Game Adaptation Ever Only Got Better https://archive.ph/udHG4#selection-1005.0-1005.94 <While the first game is a fairly straightforward narrative that made perfect sense for an adaptation, the second game, The Last of Us: Part II, is a story that felt like it couldn’t exist with the same power in another medium. There are years of flashbacks, multiple changing viewpoints, and some of the most tragic and difficult losses you’ve ever had to reckon with in a video game. It should be a logistical nightmare for any TV series, and yet, with Season 2, Mazin and Druckmann prove once again why HBO's The Last of Us is the strongest video game adaptation ever. At times, the show might deviate from the path, but it all works, even heightening and improving a phenomenal season of television that does justice to arguably the best story in video game history. >Pedro Pascal Wasn’t Allowed To Play ‘The Last of Us’ Video Game https://archive.ph/irHu5#selection-1005.0-1005.63 <During a video interview prior to the release of The Last of Us, Pascal confessed that while showrunner Craig Mazin asked for his leading actors not to play the game, he picked up the controller anyway. "My nephews were watching me play and eventually got tired of my inability to complete the level, so they took my controller from me," Pascal told IGN during the video interview. "But then we started shooting the show and living in the world ourselves!" Go ahead and post about this shitshow's progress and what your hopes/expectations are, then discuss it in full once it releases! Maybe we'll even get a little /v/-style watch party going? It'll be just like the good old days of watching Gone Home gameplay!!!!!!!!
