Almost as if crunching isn't good, Glen?
Bro, those dunces at Committe of Zero still hasn't released the patch for CHAOS;HEAD?? WHAT THE FUCK ARE THEY DOING, GET TO WORK!!!
Nah, just kidding, it's great that they take their time (unlike Spike). It should be out this month though!

AAAAWhy so much money for Callisto Protocol?
it's a dollar per minutely stutterWhy so much money for Callisto Protocol?
As “budget” as Weird West feels it’s really good! I really love the vibe and atmosphere. Really wish the side characters were little more deep and that there was any kind of relation. It feels more like Neverwinter Night 1 than Dragon Age.
Wait, how did I miss a release from the devs of The Cat Lady, Downfall, and Lorelai (which I still haven't played yet, but love the other two)?!
Kept waiting for some kind of monster to attack the camera/sub
It's been free for years and theres graphics mods for this version.Now that Dwarf Fortress is on the horizon, I think I'm equally scared of not liking it (it's fucking 30$) and getting hooked
Sure but I imagine there are improvements specific to the steam version. And I’m not against rewarding the mad lads. I admit 30$ is a little steep of a gamble to me, but I was not really complaining.
Damn The Callisto Protocol already has almost 10K reviews on Steam. What have they done. Launch could have been slam dunk for them and they f-ed up really badly.
It looks like Need for Speed Unbound was probably the best game released yesterday. Going by Steam reviews.
The Callisto Protocol would probably have better reviews if stuttering patch was released with the game and not few hours later. People really seems to like the game.
Any time there's a story segment in Midnight Suns
Yeah for sure the STEAM version will have a shit ton of improvements, but I meant you could try it for free and see if you like it before you spend money on it.
Alex looking broken with all these stutter problems.
Obviously for a long time there has been issues, but it really feels like Epic needs to be to be taken to task for allowing this to go on for so long. It would be great if even places like steam had a warning/banner on each game, making people aware that there could be issues and as a way of lighting a fire under peoples asses.
Just watched Get Out. All I can say is: holy shit!
As for games, still going through Utawaremomo prelude of the fallen. It's good.
Also replaying RE3 remake and having a blast as always.
I'm also doing Soul Hackers 2 NG+ now that the patch is out.

So, there’s a YouTube channel I regularly watch called Brandon’s Cult Movie Reviews. Part review, part riff. Anyway, a month ago a review came up that surprised me. More that I never knew this film existed. Also the title of the movie, Like A Dragon. Which predates the game by 10+ years. Don’t let the title fool you, it appears to be an adaptation of the first game.
directed by Takashi Miike, he of Audition and Ichii the Killer fame. i know there are some big Yakuza fans here so thought you may be interested.
With The Callisto Protocol being in better condition, I thought I might give it a shot. However listening to a friend playing the game recently I think I will wait for a sale. He has been having issues with the dodge mechanic and monsters grabbing him. so will probably grab when it hits its first sub £30 sale. Plus the money is probably better spent on something like Dwarf Fortress.

Who exactly is going to take them to task and what will it look like?
Also what do you do about developers who ship games in this state? Did they not launch the PC release candidate even once to see how badly it runs? Or did they see how badly it runs and decide they don't care enough to fix it before it ships? Which of these makes them look better?
EDIT: Just checked the Steam forums for Callisto Protocol and here's a few threads...
STOP giving bad reviews!
Stop giving negative reviews
Apologize to Glen Schofield, right now!
This game deserves Overwhelmingly Positive
Stop talking about stutter and just enjoy the game
Maybe the audience deserves what it gets.

Or they are farming Steam Points which is more common than you might think lol
Pretty obviously talking about games media etc.., giving big warnings in reviews saying not to get the PC version until it is sorted. I mentioned already to have Valve putting things like a banner on games affected, like they do with Denuvo.
Valve/steam doesn't have to check on anything about the quality of a videogame, its such an unreasonable thing to ask them to do tbh
There are already bazilions of way from which we can gather information before making a purchase (Conventional review, steam review, direct feed video)
Everyone said that the PC version was unbearable when the embargo depleted, and still here we are, surprised that the game runs like shit. If you want to give them (Dev and Pub) a signal, we should just stop preordering a Digital Copy of a videogame.
"This game uses Unreal Engine, beware stuttering may occur, contact Epic Games for help".

As much as we hate on Epic, it's not exactly all their fault either.
It's at least half their fault, the other half belongs to developers. It boggles my mind that such an obvious issue is still unresolved after so much time. Epic and a lot of developers are either incompetent or indifferent.
It's nice upgrade but grass and near camera foliage still doesn't do self shadowing. Same thing annoys me in Uncharted 4 too XD
Though, looks like Epic is not setting out to be a good example either, their own game (Fortnite) has shader compilation stutters, and according to users the newest update to UE 5.1 still has issues.
If I understood it correctly, it only happens the first time you play the game, so for a multiplayer game it might not be a huge deal, but for single player game it’s a disaster. It is kind of shame that epic has pretty much cornered the market on game engines and less and less game companies do their own, like cd project red switching to unreal for example.
OP
Yeah, if my poor understanding of this is correct, basically every time there's a new effect (a new shader being used) that hasn't been compiled yet, a stutter happens.
Sackboy fixed the issue in an update a week after launch by having shaders being pre-compiled on the first start up.
If I undestand this right, with low level APIs like DX12 it's not possible to have pre-compiled shaders as part of the game's download, since each hardware configuration needs its own, or something like that? :/
Darktide uses EOS but it doesn't have crossplay between Steam and Windows Store and isn't even on EGS. It's a pretty weird situation.
I disagree. Fatshark simply don't see the need for an EGS release and putting EOS into a game is probably easier than putting the game on EGS.
It's simple. They don't care.
Calisto is in the top 3 of the Steam charts. They will continue to not care.
It might not be a big deal for multiplayer games, but we already have solutions that can eliminate those stutters entirely. Why developers don't implement any form of shader pre-caching is beyond me.
I'd say that to a large part they are at fault.
They want to be the one-stop-shop for middleware, and their graphics engine is their main product. They should be more than capable of eliminating this issue.
(There are many approaches to do so)
