          They also punish anything with DRM (they were always going to pirate)
          They also punish anything more than $20
          They also punish anything that doesn't get instantly put on sale
          They also punish anything that doesn't release at the same time on PC
          Then you throw the worlds must autistic tantrum when they don't bother making a PC port in the future.

            I think back when FF7R was first announced to be a 3 parter rather than 1 complete game, most people assumed that Square could finish the trilogy in a timely manner. But as time went on and it became clear that each new part will take about 6 years or longer to release, nobody really cares about this game anymore.

                This had nothing to do with the programming being difficult, it is once again sheer incompetence. They designed areas/scenes in their game that entirely ignored vsync and every other option to set in the game so they pushed your card as hard as it could possibly go.

            no modern devs are bad because modern devs are incompetent anon. this is why they have 150gb games and insanely easily tested bugs and crashes still in their games, it is another avenue of their incompetence. they simply do not know how to do what their predecessors did, it is unironically a bunch of lost skills because their expensive game design course doesn't actually teach them anything that matters, which is why the people making games 30+ years ago managed to not suck dick at it, because they didn't go to some course they had to make it up and learn as they went, and then teach each other and their successors how to do shit.
            your company wasn't getting money just because you tried your best and stuck 64 nogs and flaming gays in your game, you could not shit talk your consumer base whilst selling them garbage, and you could not create 50 revenue streams by shitting out dlc and paid content month after month for them.

          CPU threads, VRAM, and RAM(both the amount and speed of it) along with storage speeds all matter when it comes to designing a game. In a perfect world we'd ditch the support for any card more than 3 years old like we did in the 00's and let games push the limit of what's possible but having to make sure your game runs on a 1060 all the way up to a 4090 actually does cause a lot of issues because there's no way to test every configuration available. BG3 even has an issue right now where the game force closes constantly for people. Graphics cards were killing themselves on New World and Diablo 4 as well, having 1 set of exact specs to program for is much easier.

          Here's the steam link to the BG3 issue, with 14 pages and apparently the new patch they did brought the issue back.

              More hardware covered means more possibilities for certain combinations to cause problems. This is a tale as old as time and why one of the reasons why AMD used to get shit on constantly because devs focused on Nvidia cards first and foremost.

              But with less possible combinations because it can only run on newer hardware, you could expect more combinations to be checked to see if everything runs smoothly for even more consumers. Which is what YoshiP was more or less saying, there's less ways to frick up when they can catch all the frick ups internally and only having 1 exact specification to test on makes the life of game devs easier.

              The consolegay argument is always that their shit "just works", that's because there's specific hardware to design for.

                Anon, there are some general issues but they can be grouped together.
                You do not need to check every 40XX series or 30XX series card when optimizing your game for PC. Yes, you have to check some but I assure you, big AAA dev studio has the resources to do so and it's not the kind of work YoshiP would be responsible for overseeing anyways.

                It's not just the cards though because some games are CPU intensive instead and devs just want as much RAM and VRAM as possible now to brute force everything so they don't have to try as hard to optimize. But that has to do with just how many platforms they have to target while under a crunch and being forced to shit out a mediocre game as fast as possible to appease shareholders.

            I mean god forbid a game's shaders be lean and able to be distributed to be run in parallel, or devs do proper culling of unused assets when the player leaves a given scene.
            Anon, you are highly underestimating just how stupid software engineers, even at AAA game companies, can be.
            I have seen some absolute dogshit memory management, some atrocious mono-shaders at some of the most 'prestigious' game studios in the world. And it's because they thought they could get away with it if their game was exclusive or if they could show off top-of-the-line GPU PC gameplay in trailers.
            I cannot overstate that a competent engineer, who has touched AMD and Nvidia GPUs before and optimized for their respective APIs and layout, can make games scale pretty easily. Because they do that work up-front and they stay cognizant of tech-debt and bad assumptions throughout the project.

            • 9 months ago
              Anonymous

              The competent engineers are all leaving for FAANG companies though that pay better so we're left with the leftovers and UE5 being such a mess is leading to a lot of issues as well. But when you think about how many platforms devs have to target now because everything must be a multiplat to earn as much money as possible, it is a bit ridiculous. PC is just one facet but then you have the PS4/Pro, the PS5, the Xbox One/S/X, The Series S/X and the Switch. That's a lot of optimization that needs to be done and most devs don't even try to get a Switch version up and running for their AAA games now. Incompetence is part of it for sure but there's also infinitely more work than there used to be when they'd release a PC, Playstation, Xbox, or Nintendo exclusive and call it a day.

              Limiting it to newer hardware only solves that slightly and we do see devs going that route now with some next gen only games finally emerging and the PC requirements for some of those being 2060s at the bare minimum.

        I'm sorry if you cannot comprehend it anon, but the fact that stats exist is inherently a level of depth by default. The fact that elemental types, weaknesses, resistances exist is inherently depth. They automatically make a lot of other things considerations that otherwise are not considerations, that is absolutely what depth is.
        You homosexual morons don't actually know what a bunch of old ffs were capable of because you never "had" to do it, doesn't mean it wasn't there dumbfrick. ff5s job combining system and equipment system has 100x the depth that 16 has, the fact that in ff7 you can create a setup - even if you ignore stats which you don't - that can counterattack 5 times then counter with deathblow on all enemies, is more depth than anything 16 allows you to do.

            I already pre-emptively answered this brain damaged argument you clowns always use. You didn't have to use it because the game was made easy enough so dense homosexuals like you could beat it, because that's how you sell more copies to people who otherwise wouldn't play. That doesn't change the fact the depth of systems is there in the design. 16 has no depth in its systems or design, it is simply not there even if you go looking for it and wanted to make use of it

              Depth would imply incentivizing the player to interact with the systems, none of the FF games do that except 12 with the gambits, 13 with paradigms if I'm being generous. Auto attack and heals are viable for 99.9% of encounters. They're casual as frick and they have been from the start, no matter how hard you cope

                It is preferable if you are forced to have to make use of it, but it is not mandatory for it to exist. And developers will never make games en masse that do this because they need to sell to morons and not filter them to make their large profit margins they crave

            For me it would be the best if exclusives died, and I hope Microsoft's acquisition is the last acquisition of the big three, I really wouldn't want anyone else to acquire things that could end up in exclusives, even if Microsoft's acquisition affects PC less

                Listen, wake me up when FF16 sells better than the game that immediately preceded it numerically. IT can't even hit FF15's launch sales numbers in Japan, its own home territory. How is the premiere Japanese RPG series selling worse and worse in Japan?

                Black person, I had XB3 criticism
                But my criticism is how close it was to being the best and dropped the ball in certain areas.
                My criticism of FF16 is that it spend clearly a lot of money and man-hours of truly talented people and managed to be a low 8/10 on its best day.
                My issues with XB3 are tweaks and adjustments to keep its final act tighter, maybe add some more NG+ stuff and adjust some of the balance around the classes + Ouroboros form. But it's a 9/10 on its worst day with me.
                FF16 has entire systems that are redundant (stats, gear, experience, crafting, party members), a combat system that makes Clive broken from literally the first combat scenario (his dodge functionally trumps nearly all forms of danger) and what progression is there for Eikon abilities basically boils down to the most brain-dead form of combat (spamming ultimates on stagger) or a mastery of the system that revolves around the excessively powerful dodge ability.
                That's to say nothing of how the story manages to drop the ball harder than FF15, how it manages to take its one interesting angle (Eikons as WMDs, Crystals as oil) and throw it out for almost a parody or spoof of a Final Fantasy ending.

    He is unequivocally correct with that statement. It's obviously never going to happen because not everyone can afford the latest hardware, but it would be nice if every game could be made to work perfectly with "the hardware that everyone has"

      Game devs target 720p and 20 to 30 fps on "the hardware that everyone has" everything could run every game, but nothing could run any of them well. Then you have the issue of one company getting to set the standards on what can and can't be released and then another issue of them favouring what they want to promote giving an unfair advantage to whoever bribes them or is close friends to their higher ups. One platform would be the death of any semblance of quality from every angle.

        Have you noticed how games tend to look better once the console's generation goes on? It's because the devs get accustomed to the hardware and can push it to its limits. That's possible because they know exactly what they're working with.
        This isn't possible with PC's because the end-user can have basically anything. It's inefficient to optimize with specific hardware in mind, because then you have to make a bunch of options for different hardware and you're just wasting time. This is the point YoshiP is making. It'd be nice if you could develop for specific hardware.
        I don't know what you're talking about with 720p30fps, but I can assure you, there's no game dev in the world who prefers 720p to 4k
