This thread is a good example of just how circlejerky and bubble like lemmy has become.

You are correct. Outside of the hard-core users and tech nerds, Ubuntu is massively popular. But you listen to this community, and you’d think the opposite.

This is a good example of how most of the performance improvements during a rewrite into a new language come from the learnings and new codebase, over the languages strengths.

I’m saying that asking for information on the details of what is or is not in it, is a bad idea. because we don’t know, you don’t know, anyone getting mad and saying one thing or the other is a bad idea.

saying that it can’t make higher framerates when framegen exists is a bad idea, until we know it doesn’t do that.

i’m so tired of this community, reddit was better. be better.

It’s not even an announced product, this is all rumours

Frame generation is a thing.

This is like saying new pcs barely have a reason to exist because old pcs can play some new pc games.

Lol, no, it isn’t. Anyone can set up an apt repository and ask you to use it. Many providers do… You might mean the walled garden of an official singular apt repository is safe.

You can frame this as I don’t like non cosmetic microtransactions if you like. But you have to agree that isn’t what 99% of the online discourse is doing. Almost everyone is making statements that are not true because they want to feel outraged and want others to feel outraged, and because they have been lied to by another person’s outrage.

It’s a hurricane of lies, and it’s honestly been worse on lemmy than on reddit.

There was never any need. All the micro transactions were just time skips for the dumb. The systems are the same dragons dogma systems they had in the first one. They didn’t artificially change things to be grinder. They just put in paid for cheats.

If you want to use them, that’s fine, and certainly, this over paying for it. But people framing this as a need is bad. Which is expected of eurogamers headlines the past few years.

🤷‍♀️ the snap works absolutely fine with no issues, the flatpak doesn’t exist and the apt is two years out of date.

I’m not on the outrage boat myself tho

I sometimes use a snap

I gave up on cyberpunk 20 or so hours in. The lack of interesting side stories is a part of the reason why. This feels like the article is gaslighting

It’s the same system as the first game. They designed the same system. I don’t know what is so hard to understand about this. They added skips for idiots that want to pay extra, but for the rest of us it’s the same damn thing as it was last time.

Honestly, I can’t take the outrage culture of lemmy anymore. It’s made this place unbearable.

It’s the same experience that was in the first game. It’s not worse, it’s the intended experience.

You literally can, fast travel is a part of the game. And just like in the first game it’s limited behind an item. It’s is the exact same system the series has had for a decade. Just they let rich idiots skip the system.

Again, it’s the same exact system that was in the first game

You can just use ingame items

Yup, and that seems to be going okay for them. Maybe the guttural reaction you have to that information is misplaced.

We all hate the execs, ofc. But this is a non news story. Two guys who have absolutely nothing to lose, totally independent from the studios and with absolutely zero power or influence on them, say exactly what the rest of us are saying.

It’s an article designed to illicit the “yes I agree I’ll share this!” Part of your brain, but there’s nothing here to see or talk about.

All this new news about the game must mean they are running out of money and need to drive more rubes into the wallet grinder

Yes, yes, they are. The Xbox should be in the absolute gutter with microsofts decisions over the past decade. The fact that it exists at all is a testament to how strong consoles are these days.

The switch is doing great. The ps5 is doing great. The Xbox still exists even though the Xbox One happened, and this is all in the face of the pc platform doing great.
