If someone can’t afford a decade old low cost “gaming” rig, then they shouldn’t be gaming. They better spend more time increasing their income, for example by increasing their qualification/skills to get a better job…
Also, don’t even start babblling about “elitism”, because it’s called “life”. There are things ppl can afford and there are thing’s ppl can not afford. It sucks but that’s how it is. Life ain’t no easy ride…
What about the usual way videogame devs deal with such a problem, limiting the ULQ drawing distance while keeping all objects rendered, together with other tweaks?
I don’t see any reason why should I suffer the consequencies of someone else being unable to meet the lowest limits of details. The disadvantage is supposed to be on their side, not mine. Why is MY view blocked by grass, snow/sand textures, walls and various objects when it’s THEM who don’t meet the minimal requrements?
So what do you propose them do of their free time?
You may be a good speaker, but a wrong thinker.
Anyone needs free time for a sane way of life.
And for the rest of your argues → re-taking School for having a degree requires you to pay the school.
I’m not someone that needs money for my free time, i have enough, yet → i’m retaking 3 years of school, and requires about 40k euros overall to do that (all cost included), and i have the chance to be out of Loan charges, and half my Food charges out too.
So now, how can people with no money be able to do what you told them to?
Having “ideas” is easy, being able to do them is another story.
OR MAYBE : maybe i didn’t understood you, and you were saying that you’re happily Paying for those who want to upgrade their life, by taking new cursus?
Yes i’m moking you with this statement.
So if you have no clue of what you’re talking about just don’t speak about it.
Tree range removes other objects - how the hell that idea ever made into game?? (as stupid as ULQ)
LOD range- abysmal - extremely noticeable in ground.
Animation - joke (just look at trees)
Performance - everything produce so much smoke that if you get hit by example any autocannon you loos up to 40fps on a average system (i even tested this with my old 1660super that can easily go over 100fps till any smoke generator like mgs and cannons starts hitting something) and since most ppl not using top hardware specs… well…
Also bushes are well know to kill a lot of fps just by looking at them with binos etc - documented bug - nothing done about it.
Weather - or lack of it looks terrible like some kid made a paint blob in sky
Haze- fog - you can see ok from third person - switch to sight/binos - white filter on screen
Anything they want and can afford. Take a walk outside, read a book, visit their family, spend time with their kids/wives/GFs, exercise/sport…
There are plenty of free or low-cost activities…
No need for a paid course. One can learn new things for free, for example by reading. Apparently ULQ players have a PC with internet, so there’s no barrier between them and the vast amount of knowledge out there. I did that and completely changed my field of work from what I studied/got a degree.
I know ppl who massively improved their income by learnig to code or do some graphic stuff. All they needed was the will to do so, and the will is free of charge…
There isnt one, but if you look at the steam hardware survey, you’ll see that some of the most popular GPUs are 10 series, and a decent chunk of people are still using integrated cpu graphics
This whole paragraph looks more like gatekeeping than anything else. We also have to consider that due to the difference of buying power of currencies, what is affordable to you or me is very much not affordable to others.
You dont think Integrated CPU graphics would have to run the game on ULQ to get a stable 30FPS? One of my friends has a 1060 and has to run on Low with several settings turned down, so any worse will defo be in that area
they should do what was done in world of tanks, recreate the game from scratch, the engine is very old, it goes back to the time when software only used the main core of the processor and nowadays multi core is the goal, and the game does not use this feature.
Who knows… should that be our problem by giving them wallhacks to compensate for it because Gaijin wants to cater to an audience that brings in no money and negatively affects those that do?
