@alyx @coded_artist @LukeAlmighty it's not that it is too hard for the devs, it's that it is too hard for the gpu with the increase in fidelity and post processing. If you go back to the ps4 era games were still implementing full transparency and were having struggles with it.
I don't really care about that though. Dithering looks HORRIBLE and I would rather have the option to turn it off while lowering some other settings. It's actually the primary reason why I never played Bayonetta 3. It looks completely hideous in that game and it is really distracting. It really sucks for taking screenshots too.

Forgot to add the #beardgamereview tag... I'm going to look at all the games I beat this year and see how they stack up against each other.

Honestly, there's not too much to say about this one. It's really fun. Personally, I think I had a more fun with Unbound and I would say that is overall the better game, but this one isn't too bad either. I got it for really cheap, like $5, but I wouldn't have ever paid more than $25 for it. If you like arcade racers, you're bound to enjoy it.

Unbound had better gameplay, graphics, and customization in my opinion, but Heat definitely has the better story. The story isn't even anything crazy, but the characters are actually likeable, unlike in Unbound. I had to turn off the voices in Unbound but here, I actually enjoyed what was there and found myself getting lightly invested in the story.

The things that really drag this title down are the cops, which are absurdly intense and pretty much require getting a mod unless you know where all the jumps are, and the weird issue with HDR that results in causing a black screen on some systems. Thankfully there are workarounds for both of these issues, but it's really unfortunate that they exist in the first place.

There was hardly any stuttering. After a driver update there were some shader compilation stutters, but the experience was mostly very smooth which is PARAMOUNT for a racing game.

The soundtrack is ass, just like pretty much every modern NFS game. I would highly recommend just playing your own music in the background during gameplay instead. Sometimes, when the weather in-game was stormy, I would just keep the music off and listen to the sound because it was pretty nice.

Got a good 15 hours out of it, which is just about all I need from a racing game every now and then. Had a good time! There are plenty other races to do and collectibles and cars to collect... I'm far from 100%. I feel like I got what I needed out of it by completing the main story, though.

It's funny to think that my first concerts were Elvis Costello/The Police, and Steve Miller Band/Journey. Those tickets were only like $40 too. Good shows.

@Humpleupagus @Tony ohhhh
whoops

@Tony @Humpleupagus what you aren't late tax day is next month

@ninja8tyu it's okay the new testament supersedes this

@icedquinn he's not stealthy either he smashes through buildings

@Kyonko802 people buying entire new graphics cards to play this....

@Wiz @kerosene i've had 1 serious chance with dating in the past 10 years. i've had 5 or 6 girls that just wanted to bang. hollow sex is stupid.

@kerosene oh yeah for sure, for me it's just that as of right now, the longer periods of time i have are dedicated to doing things like working on my game. since today was the first day of getting on there i kind of just went at it. i was also lying in bed because my neck/back still hurt so it was still kind of "doing nothing time."

in the future though i'm sure it'll mostly be on my work breaks, and then on my days off when i'm walking i might do it then as well.

i mainly want to use duolingo to get more familiar with it and get a lot of stuff done really quick. then i can go back and dedicate some more time to really learning the language itself instead of just learning the words and the phrases. if that makes sense.

@sendpaws yeah that is a really good idea, i was thinking about maybe doing that with some ghibli films. i took chinese in high school and, funny enough, the only time i've ever watched mulan was in chinese xD that's a great way to learn though, pretty much everyone says that helped them learn a language no matter what it is. hell, that's practically how i learned english and it's my first language. lots of video games where you had to read lots of text, before full voice acting existed. it's much easier to tie it to something you enjoy doing because you'll keep doing it even if you don't fully understand it.

@NitroDubs @RealRaul うおおおあああ かに!!!
