    Dragon's Dogma on PS3 could turn into a slideshow at times, like when you're shooting a dozen magic cannon blasts at a 4-story tall dragon; so if they're touting stable framerate beyond what I can probably perceive I'm totes okay with whatever numbers they want to say it is.

    I can usually tell the difference between 30/60 fps when shown a direct comparison

    but for the most part as long as it's consistent I'm not terribly picky

    In OotP 16 your dynasty can be derailed by your star player retiring to like build orphanages or some other bullshit.

    I love 60 fps but it takes all of about 5 minutes to perfectly acclimate to 30. Stability is bigger for me than how high it is.

    I have OOTP 16 but not having a real good grasp on baseball makes the whole thing really confusing.

    I think I'd be more into OOTP 16 if the individual games were a bit more engaging.

    Which is weird because I grew up on Championship Manager where everything was just text and I don't particularly like the 3D engine in the new Football Manager, but... you know, at least gimme a ball flying and li'l nametags running the bases.

    Once a framerate is past 40 I have no fucking clue what the difference is supposed to be. Honestly, probably after 30 if it's stable

    I absolutely cant tell

    I really enjoy people telling me I am lying about this

    It has happened more than once

    I can tell the difference but it's usually not something I care about. Unless I play a game for awhile then watch a 1080p Youtube video of it being played at 60fps. Then it definitely bothers me because I'll want my game to play that smooth. Once I start playing the game again though I forget all about it. Once I build my new computer for the Oculus Rift next year though I should be able to get 60fps in quite a few games.

    So, Dragon's Dogma on PC, does anyone know if it's just a port that will run better because it's a PC or is it an uprez or anything? There is a good chance i will end up buying it either way, but i want to know what i'm getting myself into.

    From Capcom's blog:
    It’s a wonderful thing to see the dark-fantasy world of Dragon’s Dogma finally realized in 4K and running at silky-smooth 60 FPS. As a matter of fact, the framerate is uncapped, so if your rig surpasses the recommended specs below, just set the framerate to “Variable”, sit back and enjoy all the action.

    I dunno about 4K, but most of the comparison stuff coming out seems at least somewhat nicer. A solid framerate alone would be worthy the price of admission for me.

    Neat. maybe this will let them get some capital to make dragon's dogma two since online is apparently not great and maybe never coming out here.

    Oh did that other dragon dogma project turn out to not be dragons dogma 2? And it came out and bombed already?

  • BahamutZEROBahamutZERO Registered User regular
    wait, what?

    There was preview footage of a new dragon's dogma game from a trade show or something in the last few years, it was supposed to be an actual online-with-friends style multiplayer game rather than dd1's pawn sharing pseudo-online style. I had assumed that was going to be dragon's dogma 2, but I guess it was marketed as a multiplayer spinoff instead and was bad, based on what melding just said?

    I think Turok needs to hit the ten dollar pricepoint to become really attractive to me. I have nostalgia for it, but not 15-20$ worth of nostalgia.

    Turok 1 is a bad FPS that was only ever played because of dinosaurs and only ever fun because of cheat codes

  • Duke 2.0Duke 2.0 Time Trash Cat Registered User regular
    Games where you have to deal with really fast objects make FPS more noticeable when the difference between frames is several ingame feet of distance

    most games don't really run into that issue

    Oh, what online thing is melding talking about

    E: Actually no I'm pretty sure I'm not thinking of deep down, that doesn't have the dragon's dogma brand attached does it? The thing I'm thinking of was explicitly a dragon's dogma thing.

    Bethesda needs to get the Wolf 2009 rights from Activision then so it can be put onto Steam.

    Vertiginous Golf is actually really insane and kinda fun, if a weird ass story for a golf game.

    will it give neogeo Turfmasters a run for its money?

    Hmm dunno never played, these are like full size mini golf courses, pars go to like 6-7 for some, ball itself has a little jet on it for "spin" , a single hole can cover like 3 stories with like cages and air fans and obstacles, you have a bird drone to fly around level to get site on shot, etc

    technically the framerate is capped, but it's capped at 150 FPS so that the whole physics engine doesn't explode past that

    dragon's dogma is an action mmo being developed by capcom. however, it's in beta in japan and the americans who sneak in to play it don't really seem to have glowing reviews of it. now of course it's in beta so the full game could be great, but i'm not holding my hopes very high.

    i can think of any good monsters and figures that start with E.

    best i got right now Is Evil Elephants. but it's a card game where you pick apples but every round the evil elephant can steal them, so you have to spend resources to build anti elephant defences.

    dang, they don't make 'em like that too often

    i've been playing wizardry 8 and whenever you kill an enemy they just explode. gibs everywhere. it didn't bother me until i started fighting humans. then the horror set in.

    And then faded because fuck those guys, I'm robbing all the places.

    And now i want to play DnD where instead of dungeon delves we do hiests.

    I remember having Turok 2 on the N64

    never actually played it without the cheats, cerebral bore for life
