Do you think that this “majority response” is in any way representative of the user base on that site? Have you considered that the kind of person who responds like this is nothing but a very loud outlier?

Back when this game came out, I had a PC that was just powerful enough to boot it, but not really fast to actually run it. It was agonizing spotting glimpses of this amazing game hidden underneath 640x480 at lowest settings, with textures and lighting glitching out, freezes interrupting gameplay all the time and the frame rate barely staying in the double digit range.

Two years later, I finally had a computer that was fast enough to run it as intended. It’s one of the first games I played on this machine and even though it was no match for Crysis or even most other AAA titles from this era in terms of graphics (although it still looked pretty good at max settings), the interactivity and immersion of the world easily made up for it and was one of the most impressive gaming experiences I had up until that point.

This man is his own worst enemy. He’s one of those CEOs that used to have street cred (being of the core minds behind Unreal and the Unreal engine - in the trenches, not just as a “businessman”), but lost touch many years ago and is doing everything he can to ruin his reputation.

Instead of enjoying his fame and Unreal/Fortnite fortune, he’s just endlessly whining and bickering. Despite having won the game engine wars against everyone, I don’t think he’ll ever get over the fact that Valve under Gabe Newell’s leadership not only came up with a better and more successful first person shooter franchise, but also a better and more successful digital distribution platform.

Killer of studios, devourer of devs.

Based on one comment, it looks like you are an immature person.

Should have asked your daddy for a small loan of a couple millions, an all expenses paid for Ivy League education and an extensive network of high value contacts.

It’s really all on you, if you think about it.

This reminds me:

Back in 2003, there was a demo version of the game Chicago 1930 (from Spellbound, better known for much better games like Robin Hood: The Legend of Sherwood and the Desperados series). Its uninstaller not only deleted the files belonging to this demo, but also the content of the entire Program Files directory, which I noticed way too late in the process.

You must be new to the games industry. Ideas are cheap, implementing them properly and in novel ways is what makes or breaks a game. Developers have always been iterating on the ideas of others before them. Nobody in their right mind would call a game as accomplished as Rimworld a mere ripoff.

You can not realistically expect developers to keep supporting obsolete hardware that has been without new drivers for over a decade.

Imagine someone demanding in 2005 that a new game should run on hardware from 1995. Yes, hardware lasts longer than ever before and it is annoying if you have no other option, but let’s keep things reasonable.

ARM Chromebooks are also not gaming hardware. The game never supported them officially (as implied by your “fuckery” remark) and expecting developers to take tinkered solutions into account is even more absurd.

This might be due to Nintendo taking their sweet time certifying new builds.

Other developers hold back PC versions of their games until every console manufacturer has approved updates, but Hello Games is apparently not willing to do this.

Going to be? The vast majority of appliances are still sold without this nonsense.

There was at least one company selling this sort of thing as a product back then. It was more efficient than conventional electric heating, if I’m not mistaken, even without the income from mining.

Doesn’t look like there are issues with AMD cards:

Edit:

It even runs on a low-end integrated AMD GPU (above 30 FPS with FSR set to performance):

Bloodborne can already be completely in an emulator, by the way. Runs and looks better than on PS4, which is not saying much, but still. If you have a decent system (I’m assuming you do, given your purchase of recent AAA games), go for it.

Were you expecting him to execute half of Wall Street on day one?

It’s a very barebones and buggy game right now. Might want to give it another year or two before buying, since it can’t even hope to compete with “the” life sim at the moment, let alone stand on its own feet. Right now, it’s just a foundation upon which a good game could be built.

As for the controversy, there isn’t one, of course, apart from manufactured nonsense. The usual “outrage” about the game allowing players to create people that exist in real life, but that conservatives want to kill.

Yup. Noticed this with plenty of “fans” opening thread after thread of hateful drivel on Steam forums, e.g. for Paralives. These people are clearly not interested in the game. Some even confessed to having been incited by alt-right streamers.

They addressed this in their FAQ:

Skyrim VR?:

• The most recent Skyrim VR version is currently on the pre-anniversary update of Skyrim and thus is incompatible with Skyblivion through normal means.
• A community-made VR patch mod would have to be installed for Skyblivion to boot properly. Regardless, there will be no official support for Skyrim VR at this time.

It’s not impossible and modders will likely jump at the opportunity the moment Skyblivion releases, but nobody can tell how long it would take to implement proper VR support.

That’s usually how it goes: You sneak around until you find a position from where you can effectively snipe. Stealth plays a huge role in these titles.

They even invited the creators of this mod after the release of the official Oblivion remaster:
