"PURR URPTURMIZURTION"

Or... here's a fucking idea... it's a CPU bound game and not GPU bound. FUCKING WOW, WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT that the simulation game may not be graphically amazing but will wreck the shit out of any CPU with its simulation routines?

Only everyone that's ever played any sort of in-depth simulation, that's who.

You clearly never played CS1 on release.

Do you even fucking know what that word "optimization" means, or do you just throw it around because Jim Sterling told you to?

You don't pay much attention do you?

Here's an eight year old thread where a bunch of REEL GAMERZ MAN whinge about the same shit as now.
https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/what-is-happening-with-recent-aaa-games.2866464/

"Can it run Crysis" stuck around because Crysis was built for hardware that didn't even exist yet, but was scalable enough to be played on then-current gen. It wasn't because poor performance was rare.

Go to literally any major release's Steam review page and you'll see review after review shitting on the performance. Almost like there's no way to fix shit you don't know is broken.

This isn't even remotely fucking true and you need to shut the fuck up.

Acting in good faith will protect you from a hell of a lot of shit, especially if you have the kind of job that doesn't carry extra liability with it (like an engineer).

"Steve, we have an order to go knock down this building. Here's the paperwork."
"Okay boss, I will go knock down that building that you have the signed paperwork for, indicating I need to knock it down."

"Just following orders" doesn't mean shit in The Hague but it means everything in a civil or criminal trial if you have the paperwork to back you up.

Source: Am paralegal. Deal with similar shit regularly.

Because whoever runs the site probably isn't the person that made the decision to raze the building. No liability should fall to them if they're found to be doing their job properly.

They're not being facetious. It's a thing. Cops destroy homes with impunity.

Putting on my "that guy" hat here...

The quality has nothing to do with it. Even very high end lenses can exhibit chromatic aberration under certain circumstances. Have a look at any sports broadcast. Once you see it, you can't stop, and the lenses on those cameras are decidedly NOT low quality. Or price. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1314025-REG/canonuj86x93bp01dssuhddigisuper86broadcast.html

That said, even low-end lenses from the past decade or so have far less chromatic aberration than top-tier glass from decades back. I have an old Canon telephoto that produces crazy color fringes on anything and everything if I'm not careful, but my new cheapass Lumix zoom only does so in pretty extreme situations.

It's definitely a good time to be a photography nerd.

It's especially annoying when racing games do that shit.

What's really fucking stupid is that they'll make it so it takes forever for your "sight" to adjust when going from dark to light but driving into a tunnel is near-instant perfect night vision. That is how neither vision nor camera works. Not only that, but you can always see further into tunnels than you possibly could in real life.

Sure bro, just tell me what local spot in Texas has New York style pizza that isn't shit.

Hint: THERE FUCKING ISN'T ONE.

Source: My dumb ass that went to NYC, ate pizza three days in a row, and hasn't touched a slice since returning to this pizza-deficient shithole because my eyes have been opened like that scene from Event Horizon.

The only games that do the whole "blinded by the sun" thing worth a damn are the Fallout games, and it makes sense because you've never seen the sun in your life.

Everywhere else it needs to piss off.

Welcome to PC gaming. New here?

Have you seriously not noticed how there's this weirdo subset that feels the need to throat UE every chance they get?

Why does the author specifically mention UE and not any of the other engines on the market? Why not Source, which is renowned for being one of the most flexible and performant engines out there?

UE fanboyism is real and it's fucking weird.

Oh what, so now you were JUST KIDDING BRO.

Shut the fuck up.

"I mean, any percent above zero is more than enough." - That asshole

I will never understand what asshole thought adding chromatic aberration into EVERY GAME EVER was a good idea.

Probably someone that also likes CBT and the show Big Brother.
