Only in PCMR will you find people who judge a game's quality by the pretty colors.

For a bunch of video game elitists, they argue over the stupidest little details and gloss over actual mechanics an absurd amount.

That's because toasters are powerful enough to run most games these days.

But does it have depth sliders?

u/kgb_operative May 21 '16

Yeah, but you have to use the rubber band mod

for real. I have a 300 dollar laptop from 2013, and it can run the majority of things I throw at it on low settings.

But Homefront's mechanics are pretty bad on top of the stupid little details ALSO being bad...

There aren't many mechanics that can't be done on a console, so it's secondary to them.

Well, that is why you spent so much on cards and monitors to differentiate yourself from a console gamer. Though, weirdly, there's a compromise on said colors. A monitor's color spectrum and refresh rate are compromises even when price isn't an issue. If you're a gamer, chances are you want a high refresh rate and will sacrifice a little on color spectrum (maybe 100 SRGB, much lower Adobe RGB), and your gaming card will not do 10 bit color. Photographers go the other way.

You know I picked up Dark Souls yesterday.

People love the game.

So far I like it but the controls feel like artificial difficulty. Monster Hunters are more tight, and I swear if I was using Ocarina of Times controls I'd do better.

That being said the aesthetic is excellent. Guess I gotta improve.

Get a controller. The games are great but the keyboard controls are built for some sort of squid.

amazing that someone can care so much not only about each and every single texture in an open world game, but also about a homefront game

Still one of the most confusing sequels to ever be released. What next? Frontlines: Fuel of War 2?

u/[deleted] May 21 '16

Wasn't it made by the same people as Homefront too?

I would actually play that.

Look at her left cheek, you can literally see the blurry stretched texture. Then take a peek at her shiny plastic forehead, and the collar directly under her left cheek looks like the texture was lifted from a console release from 1994

...and crazy, sorta dorky things were said on that day

I know now I'll never have any flair again and I've come to terms with that.
