the game's principal engineer since 2017, evan kinney, who has been the backbone and spirit of this game for nearly a decade has been laid off. this is fucking bullshit, dude. i'm fucking done.

What the heck? Absolutely nuts.

Taion the kinda guy to peel a potato so he can eat the skin and throw away the skinned potato.

It is more than numbers probably can show, but I believe Crimson Desert may be the most popular game on our channel since Cyberpunk 2077? The world yearns for Multi-Platform, open world PC-led games apparently!

look at how the warm glow from the shop landing on the ice machine and other nearby objects (left) gets COMPLETELY obliterated by DLSS here (right). art direction? what's that. we don't want any of that, apparently

They left this in the video, just imagine what they're leaving out lmao

If the environment artist wanted the water in that scene to have a blown-out white reflection, they could have easily achieved that. But they wanted the water off that dock to look dark and murky, not like someone's instagram vacation shots from Ibiza.

On the non-face examples, the DLSS5 shots look simply worse – the main effect of DLSS5 seems to be to blow the image out, obliterating the original tone mappingand setting the contrast values to "migraine"

even from a pure technical perspective, it's clearly throwing out a bunch of the actual lighting information in the scene to replace it with essentially a pre-baked yassified valley face. it's the Samsung moon thing but for video game characters' faces

"they used a second 5090 to run the yassify filter" bro???

Aint no fucking way dog im almost in tears laughing this is RANCID, the combo of this being used on already stiff looking Bethesda games is a nightmare

Not to harp on John since it's clear he had nothing to do with it and should be left alone - but if you're defending the video because "they're just the messenger" you have a fundamental misunderstanding of journalism. Folks have every right to be disappointed in DF.

said it before but i'm pretty sure splatoon raiders is gonna be an extraction shooter given the teaser and aesthetics and if it is, i'm warning you right now, it is going to immediately become an unhealthy obsession for all of you

The thing that sucks most about DLSS 5 is that Neural Rendering can be cool, nVidia even showcased using it to basically decompress textures and the like on the fly, offloading it from the CPU and saving disc space. Yet this is how they choose to sell it because it's not a usecase unique to games.

Grace Ashcroft from Resident Evil Requiem rendered with NVIDIA's DLSS 5.0 """upscaler""" with the text 'We are fucking under attack!' super imposed in the top left, and a button which reads 'Play Free' in the lower right.

Sorry you're getting so much crap for a video you had nothing to do with. Internet is outright merciless

...

The lighting in this game emotionally resonates with me in a way I can’t explain. It’s really excellent.

Cooling down with some DQ7 Reimagined. It’s very relaxing and nice. Thanks for the support everyone. Doing better now.

the moment DLSS stops being about pixel counts and becomes about injecting lighting and other artistic details that were not intended to begin with is the moment i'm out dude. felt like it was only a matter of time given NVIDIA but it feels truly dire as someone who has otherwise enjoyed DLSS.

I’m crine son they couldn’t even fix the bugs properly 😭😭😭

Kiwami 3 makes a poor first impression, especially if you are playing in English where during the recap of Kiwami 2 Yong Yea clearly flubs a line read and says "hingering" instead of "hindering" and they use that take.

Technically poor and hurried, devoid of the original's charm, and full of filler content and baffling changes, Yakuza Kiwami 3 is a 20/100, a 2/10, a one-star game.

It's a seismic miss that left me questioning my love for the series.
