Think they’re just overall running the whole demo stuff. I mean I’d be surprised if it was running fine, always read that early builds run at 2fps or something, expecting that it would run like UE4 is naive.
Finished COD WW2 last night.
I don’t think I’ve ever deleted a game from my drive so soon after completion. I have no interest going back and replay at harder difficulty, the Zombies mode that I would have been happy to boot up the game for is a pain, such a convoluted long setup before starting, then every time you die you are kicked out to the lobby, compared to the original tight loop you had in WAW.
Not the worst £15 I’ve ever spent on a game (crown still for the original Prey) but definitely unhappy.

You mean runs well for an “old” card or overall it runs well? I’ve heard of ppl struggling (15fps) with a serious rig.
Are you running your own tests, like a small map instead the demo Epic included?
Just asking cos I thought I’d download it and try, get maybe accustomed to the new UI - I would be only interested in practicing and learning how to make UI/HUDs if I was

Quote from kleinluka37 minutes ago, kleinluka said: The thrombosis cases are exclusively an Astra Zeneca (with some similar J&J reports) problem. No such issue exists with mRNA vaccines. When you look at how many people have had this thrombosis after taking AZ vs. how many people got sick and died from covid the choice is pretty clear in terms of what is safer. Everybody needs to make that choice for themselves in the end.
This is bs, and exactly what I was talking about.
Easy to think like that when you are not the victim.
If there are chances of conditions that would stack up and combine for a deadly outcome, well seems pretty clear that we should do some tests and analysis on the people before getting vaccines. But what you read is that “we can’t undermine the vaccine campaign”, basically who cares if some people die, as long as we can go back to drink our mojitos earlier.
This doesn’t give any confidence that even autopsies/investigations will be carried out properly, it doesn’t give the confidence that we want to find out as much as possible from these unlucky cases to minimise any loss even further. I mean the reading material they give here in UK literally says “to be read carefully before getting vaccinated” is handed out after the shot.
We are basically raising our hands and saying “this is good enough” and it’s a disgusting thought process. Medical practitioners have sworn a vote to save lives, so even one is always too much.
And by the way I’ve read of 3 people dead in the last week, aged between 42-62, and all died between one hour to a couple days after the Pfizer. So is not just one of the vaccines that can cause complications.
But actually the case that has made me think and write all of this is another case of an Italian soldier that was covid-asymptomatic and the immune system overreacted when getting the shot. Well if this stuff can happen seems like you should actually test people before vaccinating to minimise further the chances, not just ask them if they have any symptoms. (By the way with how some people are properly freaked out by the virus I feel some wouldn’t be sincere just because they are so keen in getting vaccinated).
Also, to pick up something that was said earlier, is not really a choice to be vaccinated at this time, because of all the possible restrictions being pushed for non-vaccinated, because of the peer pressure (I’ve heard friends talk about “dumpable offense” to turn down the vaccine - as if automatically not wanting to get this shot makes you a no-vaxer that is against all the wonders medicine has done in a few decades ?).
all I’m saying is that is easy to find comfort in statistics when you are not part of it or on the good side of it. I wouldn’t expect even the most pro-vaccine to take it “oh well it was 1-in-5-millions chance” if a family member had a reaction to the vaccine.
In regard to your die rolling example @ThunderKeil, I think people can accept the inevitable much better than a mistake of their own, an infection probably feels like the former, while having a needle stuck in you the latter, because having an injection is much more intimate and “real” than inhaling something and must trigger a mind much differently. (I don’t think it’s a coincidence that many more people are afraid of needles more than germaphobes and similar)
I like that they change character and location every time ?
Quote from kleinluka2 hours ago, kleinluka said: What people? What vaccine? What complications? I think most people have pretty minor side effects, and the ones with more severe ones usually go away within a few days (not counting the few VITT cases from the AZ vaccine)
All those dying within hours because of thrombosis and similar, just the other day someone famous in India vaccinated on live tv just to die a few hours later.
Granted is not that many in the grand scheme of things, but it’s still a shitty way to go, also no consolation for those families.
Those that keep posting around that “oh the chances are so small” suffer from the same (but inverse) psychological mechanism of those that don’t want to vaccinate because the chances of getting really sick (at young age) are small.
How come so many reveals this week?
Got the vaccine last thursday, no side effects at all. Shoulder felt like I got stung for a day, that was it.
Pretty scary to see many people having serious complications mere hours after vaccines had been administered.

Yes! Had the same impression when I watched it, which was only in the last two years I think.
Was going to watch the remake just for curiosity

Cheers guys, so basically it’s a metroidvania mechanic. Makes lot of sense here.
@Vilham I just wanted to ask you about the level scaling, I’m not sure what you mean, if I’ve played games that have it… I don’t think I’ve seen that description/naming before.

I still remember when in uni they were making me study Java and we had an assignment and i got the right idea in the shower after several hours of compiling and swearing

I like that it’s bright, I recently got COD WW2 and tried briefly the zombies (alone) and it’s just so goddamn dark… I also not sure if these experiences are still viable for one player like the original (before WW2 I played WAW a few months ago)… I just want some dumb shooting gallery to practice/get the stress out
@dux I never played the game and haven’t really seen anything other than the trailers… I was wondering (started listening to a podcast with Charlie as a guest yday) how’s the level design for a game like this (cos I understand it’s a sandbox)… is it more like world building? Are you doing more scripting of missions? A mix of things?
Quote from AlexM15 hours ago, AlexM said: I put the game down about a year ago when I got stuck and am playing from the start again. This time everything is just working out way faster. I guess my brain has been working on the game subconsciously over the last year haha.
It’s funny that happens, good to know it’s common. I experienced this with the Batman games, going back to the challenges from time to time and beating one in a couple tries and be like “how the hell I wasted X hours on this before”
Quote from FMPONE6 hours ago, FMPONE said: tldr Should they steal the brush tools and hotspot stuff? Yes of course. I can’t argue with their priorities though, they solved some big fucking problems and the performance looks totally legit
When it actually ships in a stable version.
An acquaintance has already downloaded it and said: “200gb drive, you need 32gb ram min, runs at 15fps”

I'm wondering is this gonna impact the Artist market, in the sense will we see lots of cinema FX people move to games, so more competition, or will lots more jobs be needed anyway to not make a difference.

Think that when it came out was a highly valuable present for their kids. Not sure why there’s still this sort of speculation going on.
Some are actually completely overhauling their PS5
I’m a bit confused by the fact he has a CNC bench and he hasn’t used it for everything, cutouts for ports at the front are clearly not as refined as the beautiful grill at the top.
COD WW2 is really bland. I heard negative comments/reviews but wasn't really ready for this. Dunno if I've just forgotten how a COD game plays, but the maps are really small/missions are short, and the locations don't seem inspired at all. There seem to be a ton of cutscenes that don't add anything and the story is not gripping or inspiring in any way.
I'm surprised by the difficulty, I started at the second-last level and got totally wrekd, felt like an insta-kill... so lowered to normal
I do understand the reviews and regret buying it, even if discounted still £15.
