I mean, I have i5-11600, SSD and RTX 4070 - something that can run newest games in maximum details. Yet in my city of 14k I can't seem to be able to get more than 40-50 FPS. I am using 1920x1080, graphical settings don't matter, disabling mods doesn't matter, tweaking via Render Me doesn't help either.
Yes! It's the best thing from the Xbox show, and I can't wait to play it. I'll just wait for the reviews to see if it's OK from technical side. The first game won't get past 45 FPS after the city grows to 10k citizens, no matter the hardware.
What? AI was a term regularly used in gaming context since the 90s. It's not self-learning neural network, it's just the usual, specific problem-solving algorithm in the game. It's not marketing term, which is riding on the newest popular buzzword.
Then it's dismissal due to somebody's ignorance. If you are talking to this person, who knows nothing about games - why can't they ask you to elaborate instead of assumptions? I feel like people are playing games with each other instead of just talking and being genuinely interested - and that is truly childish.
I agree that it shouldn't be the only thing you do, but if somebody dismisses your interests while they know almost nothing about it - then good riddance. Reading books is media consumption and a very broad statement as well - is that a non-answer too?
Also I bet it's not like these people are curing cancer or feeding starving orphans in their free time.
If you're looking for any discussion, Twitter is worthless. It's a jumbled mess of an endless stream of algorithm-based random thoughts and ragebaits. No searching, no browsing, reading it is some idiotic quote-at-the-bottom atrocity, and its interface and limitations are hate-inducing.
I don't understand why anyone would use this, apart from companies promoting products or giving updates about projects.
