I think my boy Kacho was laughing with me because I was right!

 

[Denton]

I love how the console fanboys ignore that the game runs even worse on consoles...

 

[Ansphn]

Looking like a great game but im not going to play it until PS5 Pro. Im tired of 30fps AAA games.

 

[Topher]

I think my boy Kacho was laughing with me because I was right!

You were?

[TexMex]

I’m not sure how we keep getting great scores that across the board run like complete shit to the point of being unplayable in some cases.

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

You were?

Yeah? Game is what we expected, poorly optimized

 

[GymWolf]

wind status?

Still worse than vodafone in italy.

 

[Kacho]

I think my boy Kacho was laughing with me because I was right!

Wrong. PC CPUs have the capacity to hit 100fps+ in the open world. Consoles are struggling to hit a roody poo 40fps there. Not even the Pro console will fix that. This game needs mega beefy CPUs to run smoothly, which will be a reality in a couple years. The advanced AI calculations are a little ahead of its time. The first truly next gen game.

TLDR: DD2 is the new Crysis

 

[SlimySnake]

So 20 npcs attacking a dragon is what make the game run like a turd all the time?

Doesn't dying light 2 not only looks better but also has way more than 20 models on screen at any given time fighting each other and shit?

What about the largest battles in horizon between dinobots and npcs? Pretty sure you get close to 20 models on screens, pretty sure that a lot of games have 20+ models on screen without going into the 20s.

Sorry, i'm not impressed.

Take it up with capcom. i didnt make the game lol

 

[FeralEcho]

So guys,can anyone point me to the review thread? I seem to have stumbled in the performance OT of the game.

 

[GymWolf]

Take it up with capcom. i didnt make the game lol

You think i was mad at you?

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

PC CPUs have the capacity to hit 100fps+

Peak perf is irrelevant if it’s not sustained, which it’s not.

Wouldn’t expect a neckbeard to really understand this concept well tho, so I forgive u

 

[DanEON]

there could be CPU bound settings. I don't like the "max" settings term I'm seeing there

He for sure is CPU bound even on open areas. DLSS cant be this broken.

 

[Ogbert]

Spot on- im here to talk and read about the gameplay and reviews. Fuck all this other shit.
Maybe someone so go make a thread about framerates

But framerate *is* gameplay.

Is there anyone you're not fighting on this board?

 

[TintoConCasera]

Peak perf is irrelevant if it’s not sustained, which it’s not.

Peak perf might be relevant when you are hitting it 90% of the time, which (according to that Eurogamer reveiw) is anytime you are not in a city, even if fighting against a big monster and aided by multiple NPCs.

This sucks for sure, but I think people are overblowing the issue.

 

[dorkimoe]

I love how the console fanboys ignore that the game runs even worse on consoles...

Well 1) maybe it’s because console fanboys don’t go into every discussion trying to act superior
2) we know it runs like shit, everyone’s mad at every version of the game. I’m annoyed and I can play it on pc/xsx/ps5.

I’m sick of games being launched that run like shit and they think it’s acceptable

 

[Kacho]

Let’s wait and see how much Capcom can improve things on PC before NASA tier CPUs hit the consumer market.

 

[Ogbert]

I’m not sure how we keep getting great scores that across the board run like complete shit to the point of being unplayable in some cases.

Game Journalists know who butters their bread.

There’s simply no chance of any mainline Sony, Nintendo, Capcom or From game getting fairly judged. Fortunately, the games are typically great, but they are the titles that make the whole industry exist.

Don’t bite the hand that feeds.

 

[Topher]

Yeah? Game is what we expected, poorly optimized

Except that higher powered PCs are going to have better performance. So saying "Ass is Ass, my friend. And it will always be Ass. You can't brute force your way out of it" isnt' really you being right at all.

 

[TintoConCasera]

Any word on the game's length? Don't want to dive to much into reviews in case I get spoiled.

Sorry, i'm not impressed.

Don't they say there was no frame drops on that scene?
What makes the game run like a turd is the big cities, specially the busiest areas of these, on the combat and the open world it runs fine.

Peak perf is irrelevant if it’s not sustained, which it’s not.

Hard disagree, ran Starfield at 80-90 FPS average 95% of the time, while i had 40ish FPS drops on the main city, definitely not bad, specially since the combat moments are where you need the most FPS

 

[Kacho]

Is there anyone you're not fighting on this board?

That’s my boy. We went to high school together. Don’t take it seriously.

 

[Markio128]

Dear god, this game isn’t even out yet, and you guys are arguing over performance issues already.

 

[TexMex]

Yeah I don’t disagree. TOTK is another good example. Shit literally drops to 15fps sometimes and it’s still just 10/10. And I’m not a graphics snob but when it gets excessively bad like shit it spills from personal preference to something that actively feels bad to play.

Slimy of all people saying this means you are a massive dikhead

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

That is always the case, tell me something new.

The game can run better on PC and still be a poorly optimized mess

 

[Topher]

isnt' really you being right at all.

That is always the case, tell me something new.

I'm just going to leave it there.

 

[Senua]

Is there anyone you're not fighting on this board?

Dude is angry at PC gamers, maybe one fucked his wife or something

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

So saying "Ass is Ass, my friend. And it will always be Ass.

Yup

 

[TerribleAtThisGame]

It's always the guy who can't spell somehow.

Comparing CapGods to Dying Light and Horizon....

 

[Topher]

Yup

Damn....my bad James Sawyer Ford . I didn't realize you were talking about Ass of Can Whooping

 

[Danjin44]

and once AGAIN all that whining about graphics amount to nothing…..when you guys ever learn?

 

[killatopak]

Other people: arguing about stuff

Gigachad me: opening the thread, looking at scores, sees 91 and walks away satisfied

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

I'm just going to leave it there.

The only thing I was wrong about is the game’s quality, apparently it is better than I expected

But the performance across everything? Not great. Don’t know how that’s questionable at all

Fair enough. I may have misinterpreted what you were saying.

Comparing CapGods to Dying Light and Horizon....

Also, sorry, i'm not a capcom nut hugger and dying light 1 was a better zombie game than all the latest main re games combined.

 

[TintoConCasera]

I'm worried and concerned but also hyped and exalted. Kinda like before going on a date with a hot chick that just so happens to run at an unstable framerate.

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

Does he understand that the limit isn’t the CPU, but the software engineers writing some horribly inefficient code?

This guy’s takes are so clueless

 

[Svejk]

This game is an example of why I had to stop PC gaming. The chase for performance/visuals just got too much. Being a console peasant is a much easier and more enjoyable experience for me.

You spend more time dicking around with settings than playing the actual game, but let their OCD consume them and their time.

PC players with their fps performance...

 

[bender]

Also, sorry, i'm not a capcom nut hugger and dying light 1 was a better zombie game than all the latest re games combined.

I got your ill thought out point just fine. Dead Rising is Capcom's last great zombie game and it trounces the likes of Dying Light and modern RE.

 

[Topher]

Does he understand that the limit isn’t the CPU, but the software engineers writing some horribly inefficient code?

Both of those statements can be true at the same time.

 

[Senua]

Both of those statements can be true at the same time.

Why do you keep having to make such obvious statements, cmon gaf give your head a shake!

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

The games performance being bad is relative to whether you have a PC gamers eyes

or a console gamers eyes

 

[yamaci17]

Both of those statements can be true at the same time.

 

[Gaiff]

Does he understand that the limit isn’t the CPU, but the software engineers writing some horribly inefficient code?

This guy’s takes are so clueless

Both can be true.

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

Both of those statements can be true at the same time.

They can, but here it’s not. There’s nothing insane about the game world or logic

Capcom had some early Framerate issues on RE4 and subsequent patches fixed them

You can’t patch a true CPU horsepower issue, but those cases are exceedingly rare

Almost the entirety of these issues are on poor optimization
