Horizon 5 is begging for a better antialiasing solution.. The game is beautiful but the jaggies kinda put you out of the immersion sometimes. Heres hoping they implement txaa or something better in the next entry

Motorsport 8 is supposedly being built from ground up instead of using the old engine. So, makes sense it'll use modern technologies (which will then get ported to the next Horizon game).

To be fair, FH5 is also the first game to be released on all platforms simultaneously (Steam, Game Pass, consoles)

Still, it did in 1 week what the last game did in 9 months. A hell of a feat that should be recognized.

Damn shame this will suffer the curse of racing games not being considered for GoTY cause this is the strongest contender this year so far, IMO.

Imagine being the guy who shared an article titled "Why didn't people buy COD this year?" only for two COD games to be in the leading 2021 NPD spot, one of which only released a month ago. Then proceeding to question broken thinking and the nature of discussion on the forum 🤣

Imagine also being the guy who defended poor work condition at CDPR by assigning them the title of "Good guy, Poland", then proceeding to get 'upset' about the poor work condition at other studios 🤣

Imagine also shilling for games like Cyberpunk 2077 pre-release, but thankfully avoiding such pitfalls with Battlefield 2042 to an extent by making a quick exit from its thread when things began to head south 🤣

Necrokiller, of all people, wants discusiooooon 😂

P.S. Halo Infinite's CCU stats were entirely based on multiplayer prior to the campaign's launch, so the point about "people finish games" doesn't even matter here lol. FH5 has a lot of single-player activities, so it isn't exactly a multiplayer focused game (the online has major issues anyway 🤷‍♂️), so it's fair to not look at its concurrent users as the only important metric.

Trying to prove the insignificance of CCU stats for a free toooo play MP game (it launched w/o a campaign) using a full priced game on Steam. Ab yeh kaun samjhaye Necrokiller ko 🤷‍♂️:LOL:

Oh I see! An attempt at discussiooon, is it? 🤣

It's impressive that Forza Horizon 5 was #3 on the NPD November charts, despite being on Game Pass. CCU metrics aren't as important for a full priced game 🤷‍♂️

    I dont think games have looked any better since 2019 onwards and they are performing worse and worse. Game developers have really dropped the ball.

    So while Playing Control, I found a journal which said that a bathroom is missing in Islamabad Beurue of Control. With Alan Wake and Control seems to be connected worlds. Even our city is in the universe as well. No wonder those Trail 5 and Trail 6 are haunted.
    did you know you can see @NaNoW credited in the game too ? :p

    What is peoples obsession with Battle Royale genre. 6 minutes to find a match, 3 minutes to setup a match, 2 minutes to land, 10 minutes for scavanging maybe 2 3 gunfigts and its over. Multiplayer landscape is looking absolute dogshit.
    I tried playing Apex Legends once. Couldn't find a gun for 5 minutes straight. If I found a gun, I couldn't find the right ammo for it. Got killed fighting with my fists. Uninstalled it the next day.

    I usually stay away from animes. Vinland saga changed the way i look at my life, and my experiences within. I recommend every breathing human being to watch this animated masterpiece at least once fromstart to finish.
    After I watched it, I never felt like i watched a show. It was a friggin journey. I got way too attached to Thorfinn and seeing him grow up and find himself and get rid of all the negativity inside of him was just pure bliss.

    " Both PS5 and Series X have an unlocked frame-rate here, with performance that generally lies between 30fps and 45fps. That makes for a stuttering and inconsistent output in general play, no matter what you are doing at any given time."

    With how great cod warzone has translated onto mobile. Mainstream Consoles have lost its value even further. Maybe console gaming was associated with TVs and how TV is not the primary source of media consumption anymore, consoles will lose its 200 million core audiences even further.
