Because there’s not really any other series that has been able to compete and scratch the same itch. Battlefield is not competition, the scale of combat much larger even though it has been getting smaller. That said, if we’re counting all the cod games that came out in the past few years, they still have a player base and honestly I think they play better than all the changes the recent games have made.
As someone who didn’t grow up with Halo and only played it when MCC came out on PC, I liked the campaign a lot and personally had way more fun with it than the previous games. It felt like Far Cry Halo which scratched an itch I didn’t knew I had. That said I don’t think Halo’s core audience is anywhere remotely like me.
That’s basically all of Ubisoft’s games and despite the loud minority online, the games still sell really well and better in each release. That consistency is what I like about them. Their recreation of historical cities are quite pretty and the gameplay is generally enjoyable. I do wish they kept up the consistency with the story though. Shadows’ story was such a waste of a good location.
There’s this patch which I heard has been good, haven’t gotten around to it though: https://www.saintsrowmods.com/forum/threads/saints-row-2-juiced-patch.21627/
The ability to miss games has been there for years, you could go to the game in the Xbox app and open the modifiable app data folder. The problem with this is that, developers can choose not to expose that capability on a per game basis.
Still there’s ways aroused it at least but it certainly not as straightforward.
I wish there were a handheld competitor to the Switch Lite though. I don’t need anything powerful, I want a small screen for my small hands and can fit in my pocket. As much as I like my Steam Deck, it’s way too big and heavy for that use case.
With a Switch or Switch Lite, it’s still somehow light enough to use while standing on a train but with a Steam Deck, that’s just not feasible.
All the driers are basically handled by windows update or are already in the kernel.
Eh… There was an issue a while back with Nvidia drivers causing all sort of issues and requiring a rollback. While it’s not something you would have to deal with often, from the perspective of the technically inept, that one tine they may have to do this would ruin their day and also whoever they’re calling for support.
The average person is far less competent with technology than you may think.
I work with OpenGL ES on Android and Mediatek’s GPU whole great on benchmarks has a ton of issues with specific features. Basic stuff like indirect draw causes numerous VRAM corruption issues which make it an absolute pain to work with.
A quick search online also turns up a lot of users with issues in Fortnite and Cod on mobile on those processors.
I feel like I’m the only one who finds this pricing reasonable? I looked up similar devices from Ayaneo and GPD and they’re priced similarly. It’s a premium ultrabook shrunk to a handheld size with a built in controller built by a company that can’t offset costs from an online store like Steam can, what were people expecting?
Most games engines should be able to calculate all the shader combinations required and pre-compile them prior to their use. I’m not familiar with Unreal (iirc Jedi Survivor does this) but it’s fairly common with other games. Alternatively there’s solutions like Fossilize from Valve and Microsoft did just announce a new D3D feature earlier today that help devs collate all the possible shader combinations too.
Its why there is no real point in deciding whether something should be a film or a tv series because you can just release it as a four part miniseries or stretch things out for a full eight and so forth.
There absolutely is. A movie is still expected to be watched in one go in its entirety and so is an episode of a mini series. It has a huge effects on the pacing of the media and how you segment episodes of one.
The new games aren’t all bad for the campaigns. MW2019 was pretty good and Black Ops 6 had a really fun campaign, it had a pretty good story too at least til the end.
