Probably. You see this sort of freezing for several seconds in Breath of the Wild if you do that launch glitch and travel really fast across an area.

Speaking of CDPR games, was anybody here dumb enough to play Witcher 3 on a Bone? I've got a decent gaming PC, but i want to couch + controller Witcher 3. How is it?

i played it on switch :getin: It was totally fine, the story is so good that I couldn't care less about the graphics. I'd imagine Bone is substantially better than that.

LoL me too. The trick with Witcher 3 is don't look at footage of it running on better hardware until you're done.

Was there something wrong with the bone version? I played it on the PS4 (launch version) and it ran and looked very good.

Do you have proof because they recreated the same drive on both consoles and it didn’t do it on PS5.

The game was rough at launch but has now had patches galore and I believe is fine on all consoles (e.g. 30fps900p on Xbox One but works fine or something like that).

Imagine if CDPR had used the unreal engine instead of rolling their own. They would have been done years ago and the game would have ran better.

Major aaa publishers have been moving to proprietary engines away from unreal because it improves the profit margins.
Blame mega budgets and executive greed when it goes wrong like the frostbyte debacle at ea

What's wrong with frostbite? It runs well and looks pretty great, I've been impressed with it in most places.

My Series X arrives Wednesday, and since I haven’t had an Xbox in nearly a decade, I figure Game Pass Ultimate is the best way for me to get in and try a bunch of stuff I’ve missed out on. What’s the best deal going for that right now?

Problem is the devs have to armlock the engine into submission so it can do what an RPG/Open world game needs to do (inventory for example)

It was a miracle that Dragon Age Inquisition came out alright. Andromeda and Anthem, not so much.

I think EA forces a lot of developers that they own to use it.I know Madden was really good when they were on Ignite and ever since they forced them to switch to Frostbite the game has gotten much worse.

Series S version of Cyberpunk is better than the PS5 version 😬

(currently, because there's not a proper next gen version yet)

I bet you have to pay the garbage man extra to throw out a PS5. Or hire a skip. :vince:

Buy 1 - 3 years of Live Gold from anywhere, but no more than 36 months. If you get less than 35 months, then also grab the $1 trial of Game Pass PC.

Finally grab the $1 Game Pass Ultimate to convert it all to Ultimate.

Frostbite is great for FPS games. Not so much for anything else. I think Respawn in their only studio that doesn't have to use it? Jedi Fallen Order was Unreal 4 and Titanfall was Source 2.

New customers only, if you already have ultimate and try to redeem a code for gold or basic game pass it will convert it to a shorter amount of ultimate time

Is it not installing updates automatically while asleep or is that how much was left to download when you tried to play?

I played it on PC and really didn't experience any problems - I think the last-gen console hardware caused a lot of problems for it.

I'm pretty sure it works for anybody - AS LONG AS you don't have an active subscription. You have to have let the whole thing expire first before it will work again.

It will work but Ultimate may not be $1 for you but whatever the normal monthly price is.

Regardless, if you don't have an active Ultimate subscription, Live Gold / Game Pass will convert into Ultimate at 1:1 conversion rate when you start a new Ultimate sub.

Yeah this was me, I did the trial previously. Instead of £1, it cost me £10.99 to upgrade 3 years of gold to game pass ultimate.
