"In case you’ve lived under a rock for the past six years, let me explain what LPs are before starting. They are a collection of videos, screenshots, or other media of a game coupled with commentary from the player. Said player can focus on providing a walkthrough, making fun of the game, or use it as a blogging medium—each form is considered LPing. Recently a major developer for Mojang made a blog post dedicated to glorifying LPers and their free advertising—however, this view does not belong to the majority."
Dragon's Dogma 2 continues Capcom's hot streak of favorably reviewed games as the studio lands first on Metacritic's top publishers ranking.
Responding to a query about frame rate problems from IGN, Capcom said in a statement that performance issues on PC may be linked to the heavy amount of CPU demanded from NPCs in the game.
"In Dragon's Dogma 2, a large amount of CPU usage is allocated to each character and dynamically calculates the impact of their physical presence in various environments. In certain situations where numerous characters appear simultaneously, the CPU usage can be very high and may affect the frame rate," a Capcom representative told IGN. "We are aware that in such situations, settings that reduce GPU load may currently have a limited effect; however, we are looking into ways to improve performance in the future."
What a load of bull there blaming the npc load for there poor performance? the new hitman games has way more going on beyond that they are saying any pc cpu is not powerful enough?
In the article it is also stated a ign reviewr got motion sickness playing ps5/pc version but still enjoyed it? like wow if that was me i would knock it down alot and asked for a patch asap.
So those about to play thank denuvo get a barf bucket if your on pc play 720p because like cites skyline its going to be a unoptimized cpu mess.
Man those on series s/steam deck/rog ally rip :(
Project Zomboid a simple looking isometric game has a similar problem as the Zombies are CPU heavy. If this is the issue GPU tweeks won't do anything, you need less calculations per NPC or more static NPCs
Well that’s just great…looks like I’ll be holding off on buying this on PC until it’s fixed. If I wanted low frame rates I’d just buy it in console smh…
YouTuber Potomy has revealed new details about the new Bloodborne mod and that it is now in a playable state for Minecraft.
(From the article) "The problem, to them, is that collections of an entire video sequence of a game (rather than just a few clips) is equivalent to copying and spreading the game—after all, they programmed the game and made its visuals, so they should control where it shows up, right? Wrong."
If that's the case, remove speedrun videos, "how to," and even Reviews from the internet as well; I can't stand sites and companies who swear its "wrong" to post game footage on the internet. Broken street dates I can understand, however someone can argue "how to" or "review" and can get away with it.
LPing with criticism or a walkthrough is completely legal.
And to think that LPs will make people not buy a game (other than because they can see that the game sucks) is idiotic.
Lol i remember when LP meant a big vinyl donut that had music on it.
Ahh crap.. this is their next target after used game sales. It's plausible.
I'm not even dignifying this site with a click-through. Quite possibly the most idiotic article I've seen on N4G in awhile.
