    My only complaint is that the grass sprites are too wide, it makes them obviously 2d.

    I find that really weird, because I am running it at 1080p, on ultra mode dx11 and I get 40/50 FPS, sometimes i feel it drops to 30 when in combat. (I have vsync and AA off tho, I dont feel those add to my experience, and they are really expensive on performance)

    Weird part is, my machine is getting old actually, I only updated to a GTX560ti a year ago or something to give it a bit more life span, so I'm very surprised how well it runs. Boarderlands2 doesn't run this well, i actually had to drop resolution to 1280*900 on that game to have it running smooth.

    For those having stutering issues, it is a known problem, not sure if they are going to fix it but you can fix it yourself, just increase the PoolSize for textures.

    Bioshock Infinite Stutters and Freezes in-gameGo to commonBioshock InfiniteEngineConfig and open BaseEngine.ini. Search for ‘PoolSize’ and set the value higher, depending on how much available RAM / VRAM you have available. We increased the value to 512 and some of the stuttering seems to have vanished.

    I recommend everyone does this btw, it completely removed the streaming issue I was having.

    Don't leave off professional work (unless its total shit, but it shouldnt be), even if you didn't like the game liam.

    Yeah issue is definately a RAM one, it clearly doesn't load in very much (I mean like 1 street), so it repeatedly has to load, every time I enter a new building/street it stutters for a second or so. I guess ill increase that RAM amount.

    Bad streaming is bad. Seriously I can run Crysis 3 on basically fullest settings but keep getting loading spikes when playing this.

    No I don't think, because I'm not some child that assumes a sample of something equates to the entirety of something. Since when does a tiny minority of the games industry (this is actual not even the realm of "games industry" this is the advertisement industry) represent tens of thousands of developers? Please answer that question because I'm dying to hear the answer.

    I'm going to assume your some kind of bigot though, as it's how your present yourself.

    - Try not to be hungover on your interview. Make sure you don't smell like alcohol.

    Completely agree with everything but this. There is no Try. Don't get drunk the night before an interview, its a stupid thing to do.

    I don't want to reignite the whole thing, but when I see this kind of video made BY a game developer, I can't help but think that MAYBE the industry as a whole needs to grow up... Joke or no joke, that was horrible...

    Yeah they do need to grow up no doubt. However since when does one company represent the whole industry (I fucking bet half the people at Overkill are cringing at that video as well). You guys really need to drop this generalization shit. It doesn't fly in mainstream society for sex,race or religion and it sure as fuck doesn't fly here either.

    Sigh... I'm not actually talking about real review scores. I'm talking about the general feeling or perception I have of a game. A game that feels polished is superior to one that doesn't feel polished because certain parts of it aren't very good.

    BF3 is the best BF to date. The SP doesn't magically detract from the MP.

    Most of us can agree that, if all the effort that went into the SP was funneled into the MP it would be an even better game. But you seriously can't say that the MP experience is hamstrung!

    Where did I? I said, it detracts from the game... Heres some math for you:MP gets a review score of 90

    SP gets a review score of 70

    MP only game gets a review score of 90

    SP & MP game gets a review score of 80

    Magic...

    I really enjoyed the multiplayer half of BF3. There's lots of variety in the maps and now there are a few game modes for each there's plenty to do. Lots of weapons and gadgets to unlock and the vehicles are great.

    The single player, whilst nice to look at, was horribly boring to play.

    Exactly. The game would have actually been a better game without the singleplayer, it detracts from the quality of the overall product.

    Meh. Surprisingly I'm really not interested considering how much I fucking loved all the battlefields up to bf3. If battlefield is going to become more and more single player focused they need to actually stop this made up modern war bullshit that CoD4 started, otherwise it detracts from what should be a great multiplayer game.

    "Used consistently". Check that link you posted, the vast majority of the games on that list are 80-90s games, are we really using that as evidence that the current industry is some how sexist.

    "The good news is that there is nothing stopping developers from evolving their gender representations and making more women heroes in future games"

    Guess what, they already have. Maybe if she played some games from the last 10 years and didn't pick 13 games out of about 60 mario games that don't let you play Princess Peach she might find what she is claiming doesn't exist. Seriously, are we actually debating a video that is so obviously bias that in the scientific world it would be the equivalent of BP writing a paper saying petrol doesn't produce carbon when burnt.

    If she doesn't want to be implying that she should probably be a little more consistent with her previous statements and presentations. One sentence in your video doesn't override the implied theme of the last 500. Sorry, but that is called shitty writing and as a critic that should really be her strength.

    "Damsel in Distress trope as a recurring trend does help to normalize extremely toxic, patronizing and paternalistic attitudes about women."

    This sentence is also not backed up by anything, just because she says or believes something doesn't make it a legitimate argument. In conclusion she really needs to work on her arguments, because they are extremely weak, and that isn't to say that there might be some truth to some of her claims, unfortunately she has only helped to damage those claims.

    PS done with debating this.
