You’re right, 20fps and low polycount is just fine. You still on a 360p CRT too?
It"s an $8 purchase that can quadruple your framerate, and at the very least, hides dips from any games. Sure, little use in turn-based games and point and clicks… but for everythong else, smoothness looks and feels better.
Oh, another reason: if it’s ever time to upgrade your GPU, try this $8 app and you might be able to push it another 3-5 years.
Still on a 3060 here and nowhere close to upgrading (cap the game at 41fps, get 164fps out)
Yep, I use it to in order to help games that are too cpu-intensive for their own good ;)
Amen, 60fps stutters. 75 or higher is fine, but to me anything around 60 looks bad, especially when the game is demanding because its low graphics still look photorealistic.
Even for top down arpgs, 60fps looks like shit when you taste 120+fps
For smoother gameplay with no dips when the game chugs or loads in the background.
Some people like ray tracing, some like smooth gameplay.
Best purchase ever. It makes all my games run at 165fps, mostly without visible artifacts. And when it’s not perfect, it’s because the game itself can’t output above 50 fps… That app is wonderful!!
Best title I have ever seen in game journalism.
Urg, AAA games suck ass more than ever. Thank christ for offline, AA and indie games!
It’s top down Noita, or BoI+Noita. I have 1k hours and am still discovering new effects and combinations every run, it’s nuts!
Pro tip: I wanted to milk it for all its got, so after reaching endgame content, I started a new toon and limited myself to 2 wands and no upgrades to life mana, starting stuff like keys or coins. Just “tentacle girl” updates and it’s been really good. I die because of mistakes, not because of balance. Otherwise, you’ll get a bit too strong and steamroll every enemy and boss at some point (100 hours in or so).
Striving for Light. It’s the only real hybrid I have found between an arpg and a roguelite. A bite-sized PoE if you will.
Otherwise, in more or less the same genre, Magicraft (my GOTY 2024) and a tiny bit of Hellclock, tho it has yet to hook me because so far it’s boringly easy - I’m still very early in the game.
Gone Home.
Great game but you basically search a house looking for something thatvwould have happenedbto the girl daughter, but in the end, she’s just moved to her own place amd everything if fine with the parents too.
Planetside 2.
The whole game is an anomaly, plagued with some pourly addressed design challenges and a bit of jank, BUT, it is also wonderfully unique, has everything you could want in a shooter, instant action, high skill ceilling and it ruined gunplay for me with its longer TTK and deep shooting/bullet mechanics (most other shooters are just point and click by contrast).
If you don’t buy the game, then you are not bound by the EULA, so…
Well, to be fair, when the post is essentially an ad for a product people don’t like, the downvote button takes another meaning.
Nioh 2, then nothing else ;)
It is!? Interesting!
Yeah, if you wanna mod your games, better use a version that won’t get forced updates.
Online-only too again? Price is not my main issue with this one if that’s still the case.
We’ll see, but I feel like big games tend to be recommended to me even when they gave nothing in common with what I play, what I’m currently looking for or the gane page I’m on.
Steampeek is what I rely on these days. Hope Sream meets that bar.
Fake frames, as opposed to the real life pictures other frames are…
You remind me of people who kept posting that the human eye can’t see frames past 30. Where are they now lol Oh that’s right; they’re right here!
Mark my words: you will use frame generation someday and you will not come back. Maybe from a future nvidia feature (eg DLSS), maybe from a monitor, in VR (been a thing for a while but it’s not good yet). You will like it.
