Gaming Blows @gamingblows.bsky.social · 13/11/2025Do not ask what his intention is. Nobody is saying. 011
Gaming Blows @gamingblows.bsky.social · 30/09/2025Can also ask how much aliasing is acceptable in the name of clarity and contrast. I'm playing Metaphor: ReFantazio right now. That game is quite aliased all the way through (GFD Engine), but the style of the game works better with that noise than it would TAA. Anyways, I don't envy you your task. 😆 000
Gaming Blows @gamingblows.bsky.social · 30/09/2025I'm not sure. What if we look to other engines with nice visual clarity and find out how *they* do it? How does a Silk Engine game do it? Or Genome? Hell, I was playing a budget trucking game recently (appropriately titled "Truck Driver") that looked clean. Looked that up and find out it was Unity! 100
Gaming Blows @gamingblows.bsky.social · 28/09/2025There are a lot of players now who will see or feel UE5 and consciously (or subconsciously) think "slop." Or "low effort." Or "low quality." Even if the game is good, that initial taint WILL sour their perception permanently. Keep the blind player from noticing that it's UE5 for as long as you can. 010
Gaming Blows @gamingblows.bsky.social · 28/09/2025My unsolicited advice... Once the foundation is laid and you're in the alpha phase (now?), stand back and look at the game in motion and ask yourself: "Can I tell this is UE5?" So long as the answer is yes, ask yourself why. And then, KILL THE REASONS WHY. One reason at a time. I believe in you. 210
Gaming Blows @gamingblows.bsky.social · 28/09/2025Finally checked out the GEX Trilogy. The wizards over at Limited Run Games have somehow managed to port these 25-year-old games to modern platforms without increasing their framerates. You can't even save your game properly. Incredible work, LRG! Fuckin' slop. #limitedrungames #gextrilogy #slop 000
Gaming Blows @gamingblows.bsky.social · 28/09/2025It will be astonishing if you are able to mop all of the UE5 sludge from your game’s last coat of paint. Wishing you luck though, and will remember to check your game out when it releases to see how it went! 🤘 110
Gaming Blows @gamingblows.bsky.social · 26/09/2025UE5 titles are the Netflix Original Productions of gaming. Anything is better. Even Unity is better. Frostbite. Silk. Katana. They can all produce vibes. Nearly every UE5 production feels like sticky factory farmed template cut slop no matter how much money is thrown at it. #rip #tokyoxtremeracer 110
Gaming Blows @gamingblows.bsky.social · 07/09/2025If Silksong had released in 2020, not one single person would have said or thought "I can't believe this released so quickly, it feels like a game that should have taken an additional 5 years!" That said, as an anti-capitalist I think It's great that the devs were relaxing throughout development. 030
Gaming Blows @gamingblows.bsky.social · 12/07/2025wait is that country being slowly enveloped by water or am i thinking of somewhere else 000
Gaming Blows @gamingblows.bsky.social · 24/06/2025My man, you been doing this for what, a decade...? How do these people even penetrate your consciousness at this point? I made a Shenmue video about how the PC version sucked a fat one. Someone replied that they were going to rape my dad. 😭 Shake your head and press on. This issue is not solvable. 000
Gaming Blows @gamingblows.bsky.social · 12/06/2025From the Fantasy Life i Twitter page: "You can now adjust the camera to see more of the world around you! By selecting 'Camera Operation (Far)' in the options menu, the camera’s movement range expands, maybe even enough to spot a dragon napping in the distance?" Game changer (literally). 020
Gaming Blows @gamingblows.bsky.social · 03/06/2025My old lady can sense them from across the apartment. She’s just as crazy for Cheetos, does Sully eat those too? 110
Gaming Blows @gamingblows.bsky.social · 31/05/2025You must be sick to death of this question, but what’s your expected time frame for a full release? I’ve never played any Ultima but IX (I know, I know) and would love to play VII for the first time via your Revisited project. 110
Gaming Blows @gamingblows.bsky.social · 30/05/2025Good timing, then. I’ll begin my quest as soon as the patch drops! Guessing you’ll post about it? Maybe I’ll make like it’s 1990 and read the manual in the meantime. 100
Gaming Blows @gamingblows.bsky.social · 30/05/2025Excellent take that I think a lot of us inherently "felt" but couldn't properly articulate at the time. 000
Gaming Blows @gamingblows.bsky.social · 29/05/2025@banditloaf.wcnews.com I am finally going to play my first WC game. I primarily like to play on my TV. Should I jump right to WC3 on PS1, or should I bite the bullet and sit at the PC with 1 and 2 first? And if so, are GOG versions suitable, or are there fan patches somewhere I should use? Thanks! 110
Gaming Blows @gamingblows.bsky.social · 17/05/2025Is it the Indian achievement or is there something more? I'm trying to look this up and keep getting the achievement. 100
Gaming Blows @gamingblows.bsky.social · 17/05/2025This sounds like something you’re making up. And I’m no fan of his. 000
Gaming Blows @gamingblows.bsky.social · 27/04/2025Dumping the game into a generic UE5 fantasy shell with little to no consideration for the aesthetic value or art direction of the original game is an "impressive remastering." Clownish take from Digital Foundry here, and one that will ensure we get more low quality trash like this in the future. 020
Gaming Blows @gamingblows.bsky.social · 24/04/2025Could you tell whether this was from the Oblivion Remaster or some random UE5 F2P slop I found on Steam? (the answer is no) 010
Gaming Blows @gamingblows.bsky.social · 23/04/2025This Oblivion remaster is the most offensive thing I’ve played in years. The contempt for its fans and own legacy that Bethesda has shown by allowing the hacks at Virtuos to lazily shit their legendary game into an artistically bankrupt Unreal Engine 5 toilet is beyond words. Fuck Todd Howard. 100
Gaming Blows @gamingblows.bsky.social · 22/04/2025Reject slop. Embrace soul.youtu.beOblivion's sincerity of expression: the meaning of ＳＯＵＬYouTube video by Crowbcat 000
Gaming Blows @gamingblows.bsky.social · 20/04/2025Looks like it’s @banditloaf.wcnews.com’s birthday. A tremendously nice guy and the deepest well of Wing Commander knowledge living today! A great good vibe follow if you aren’t already. 110
Gaming Blows @gamingblows.bsky.social · 05/04/2025They would have just called it Quest 2, I guarantee it. 010
Gaming Blows @gamingblows.bsky.social · 04/04/2025A release *year* with 3 seconds of footage from a company that has been radio silent isn't very exciting even for those waiting with bated breath. That date could be changed with two keystrokes and absolutely nobody would be surprised, so I don't think anyone is getting their hopes up. 000
Gaming Blows @gamingblows.bsky.social · 02/04/2025GOG’s mission is admirable but their execution of that mission has been mediocre at best. 000
Gaming Blows @gamingblows.bsky.social · 18/03/2025For the love of God @digitalfoundry.bsky.social, stop reviewing 30fps modes like they mean anything. It's 2025, let's not pretend that the visuals of a game running at half of the acceptable speed for playability are worthy of praise. Developers may as well add a 20fps super fidelity mode for you. 000
Gaming Blows @gamingblows.bsky.social · 13/02/2025Wow, what an aesthetically pleasing and enticing discount. 000
Gaming Blows @gamingblows.bsky.social · 16/01/2025Why can’t Nintendo also give us a little black box without a screen? I’ll never ever play this on the go. 010
Gaming Blows @gamingblows.bsky.social · 15/01/2025The director of Pentiment glazing some bad ai art is certainly a low point of 2025’s first two weeks. 000
Gaming Blows @gamingblows.bsky.social · 10/09/2023Finally deleting Twitter and am happy to see that I won’t have to miss one of my favorite accounts. Good to see you on Bluesky! 120
