I understand it’s benefits, but it looks like hot garbage At least on 1080p. It makes games look soft, blurry, unappealing especially when moving around which you obviously do in a video game. Id rather have jagged crappy blocks around objects than have my screen look like somebody smeared a lubricant on my monitor. At least I can appreciate how beautiful and clear the game is then. What’s the point of next gen graphics if most objects look like their details have been erased and someone used a mild blur filter on them
How has it become a standard?? I don’t understand. MSAA looks so much better and i don’t get why I can’t have the option to use that in a lot of games nowadays. It’s always either TAA or FXAA. Why? Is there some limitation to that now? Why can’t I have more options? This upsets me so much
With most products, the better it is the more money the company makes, with some exceptions like light bulbs.
However in a game with either MTX or a sub the incentive for profit is engagement more than it is just making a game good, and engagement and making a game good never perfectly allign, if I were to list every example that I’ve personally experienced since 2012 I would reach the character limit.
the easiest example would be say a certain MMO releasing a new patch, that fixes a bunch of issues that for existed for reasons that seem to defy logic, right when everyone’s 3 month sub runs out from the last promo they did.
I very often see the “no p2w only cosmetic” argument, but for one thing, everything in game is cosmetic, it’s all just pixels on a screen, and secondly cosmetic microtransactions can lead to the worst aspect of all of this, EOMM.
Anyone remember where it was discovered that Facebook’s algorithm was making people more angry …
Today I noticed I had a key for New Vegas through Prime and with it being my all time favourite game I thought why not give someone the chance to grab it for free.
Just leave a comment to enter and in 24 hours (11am GMT) I’ll use a random comment picker to select a winner from the comments.
Edit - Two generous redditors contributed and donated an extra key each, so the total is now 3 keys to be won. Thanks to u/Zazou85 and u/e1esdee for the keys.
Good luck, and have a great rest of your day!
