I’m sorry for the weird headline, I couldn’t think up about anything good, but it’s a topic that is bugging me for a while.
Basically, it seems like the more realistic the graphics of a game are, the more realistic the content of said game needs to be. The easiest example would be The Division, were people thought that it felt off, when a human didn’t die immediately from a headshot, despite of it being a loot game. We accept that we can’t one shot enemies, if we don’t have the right gear in Diablo and we accept, that a bandit can survive an arrow to the head in Skyrim. We also accept that a Grenir in Warframe can take several bullets to the head, if we don’t have the proper level and equipment, but as soon as you apply those same principles to a modern day New York, it suddenly feels off?
Or take the remakes of Resident Evil 2&3, my personal pet peeves. Both games had outright removed or altered a lot of enemies from the originals, like …
Thank you all for your participation and feedback in the first Indie Sunday!
We’ve reworked the event to incorporate some of the suggestions from last week. This is not the final state of how the event will end up running long term but we want to try out some adjustments and go from there. Please read below for the new required format and rules.
A reminder that Rule 8 is not enforced during this event.
To be eligible to showcase your game in its own submission, it must be released. For now, early access releases are eligible but we may tighten the criteria further based on feedback from the community. If your game is not released, you may promote it within this hub thread in the comments below. Please use the below comment format.
You must provide video footage of the game. Images and concept art are nice but you must include a trailer or gameplay footage of the game in action.
No key/game giveaways
Only developers may make submissions for their …
The game was free for a good two weeks before these hackers showed up, there are invisible, speedhacking, aimbotting, fly-hacking players that clear servers in a few minutes.
Now there are hackers that do all of the above, then spam ALL chat, TeamChat, Squad Chat, Enemy Team and Squad Chat then crash the server.
Speedhacks haven’t been a thing for two decades thanks to server-side validation and server authoritative design.
The conspiracy theorist in me says EA is doing all of this themselves to kill off their old games and force people to buy/play their newer games.
Titanfall 1, Titanfall 2, BF1 and I haven’t personally checked BFV but I heard complaints from friends of similar things, with aim-botters and such.
I have a video of it happening, but I cannot post it because of witch-hunting rules.
A few months back I did a full reinstall of my graphics drivers. Just yesterday I was watching a very dark movie that I knew was looking too gray when I decided to check the color output. I saw I was back on default color settings, which when on HDMI, is limited.
Switched it from limited to full and now the blacks are actually black, and not gray. Only my second monitor is HDMI and is mostly used for web browsing, so I never noticed the sudden change to limited.
This is the setting if you aren’t sure where to go.
Edit: Here is the option for AMD if you want to check (Change to Full RGB).
Hey all,
Long time fan of the game, played it 20 years ago till my eyes were bleeding….
But this remaster feels somehow so out of place, anyone else feeling it too clunky? It looks beautiful but beside looks i think 20 years later there are way better hack&slash RPGs to waste your time and money.

I’m happy there is open beta this weekend… As it looked great while i was watching others playing it, but after few hours with it this weekend it’s a hard pass from me.
I would say I play frequently. About 6-8 hrs a week and I have 1100 hrs in Destiny 2. I know thoes might be rookie number to some. It’s the only game that I have +1000 hrs. Nest highest is CS:GO with 900.
A sport game where you (and your friends) have to plot a route, plan your itinerary and manage resources in order to reach a summit would be great. Having to take shelter in a camp when the weather gets too bad. As well as resting, eating, sleeping. Alll while trying to beat your previous time and the time of other players.
