This is so unrealistic. I got 60fps seeing this!
I am a former Kia and Hyundai dealer tech, worked at a dealer for both for 6 years between 2012-2018.
- Cats failing on Souls was pretty common during the time I worked, most commonly failing with a P0420 code. In fact, this failure became so common that the warranty admin stopped asking us techs if we had checked the O2 sensor before replacing the cat because the O2 sensor was almost never the problem. So its not exactly uncommon for the cat to fail on a Soul, regardless of why or how. Theyre cheap cars.
- Intake cleaning is not really going to have any effect on the cat, and is only needed when you look at the throttle plate and it is dirty
- Carbon build up is only a problem if you drive only short city trips and don't step on the throttle occasionally. Get on a highway and just throttle it up to merging speed quickly, do it a few times a month and carbon build up wont be a problem. If you are worried you can remove the spark plugs and put a camera into the cylinder, turn the engine over by hand via the crank bolt and you can usually peek the valve stems to see if there is carbon build up or not, otherwise if you remove the intake plenum you may need to replace the orange rubber seals
- 2.0L and the 2.0T were the second most reliable engines of 2015, with the 3.3L V6 being the most reliable (in my 6 years of servicing Kias and Hyundais I only ever had to replace one due to no oil changes in 25k miles, with no major repairs on any) until all the 2.4Ls were replaced with the recall for free even 100k miles out of warranty, making them the most reliable by nature of being fresh engines
The thing about Kias and Hyundais I generally tell people is that they are great cars when they're covered under warranty. Its better to lease new and trade in before the warranty expires so you keep it with a warranty, as long as you can afford it. Other than that, its a serious crapshoot because you have to consider if the previous owner actually took care of it or not, if you arent the original owner. These cars, being cheap and relatively new to market, are more sensitive to poor maintenance. As long as you take care of them they should be okay, but if you miss even just one step you will probably pay for it later on. Theyre not as forgiving as a brand like Toyota.
Its not too advanced. It encourages developers to be lazy and develop unoptimized games.
JSRF was an original Xbox game, not an Xbox 360 game, so outside of possibly some sort of revival of CXBX, with modifications because of how CXBX worked, youll be waiting for quite a while most likely.
Raytracing with cel shading would probably look prettt bad, by the way. It could be okay with reflections, maybe, but the style of cel shading helps simpler effects look better.
You can already emulate it in 4k with Xemu.
Still waiting on the return of Gungage.
Battlefield 4 was the last time Battlefield felt like Battlefield, but only after a bunch of fixes and DLC. Nowadays its a completely different game.
Battlefield is more about squad play and objectives than CoD is. CoD has much faster player movement, Battlefield has slower player movement but it has vehicles to compensate on the bigger maps.
Meaningless. Everyone knows this game is going to launch a mess, just like the last like, 5 Battlefield games.
The graphics were extremely groundbreaking for the time. Unless you lived through it, it would be hard to understand. Its hard to compare it to any modern graphics advancement because modern graphics advancements are all such tiny visual improvements, its not the same as the massive leaps early 3D graphics had.
Even a 25% tariff on the import value of a physical is still only like $0.20, even if it had a 100% tariff it would only increase the price by like $2 because tariffs are not based on final sale price, it is based on the import value which is way lower than MSRP. MSRP is set to give importers profit after paying import fees, tariffs, shipping from the port to distributors, etc.
If someone is paying 25% more based on MSRP "because of tariffs," you are 100% getting scammed.
Some games were programmed with the hinge gap in mind, so squeezing both screens together can lead to unexpected timing when objects can move between both screens, for example Metroid Prime Pinball.
I am assuming this is caused by Nexon?
Right now maybe, but Lemmy is open source, and anyone could fork it to add this functionality.
Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if this started happening at Lemmy too. Its a lot easier to control what kind of content is on a platform when you do something like this.
Now, I don't particularly think this is a good idea, but I can see the benefit of this as well. People have the freedom to upvote whatever they choose, even if I think they are dumb for doing it, and they shouldn't have to worry about anyone other than law enforcement or lawyers (in extreme edge cases) using that information against them.
I never owned a PS2 when they were still being manufactured and sold. I still do not own a PS2. However, there are some games I actually liked that released on PS2 (I did not list games that were better on other platforms, for example, Silent Hill 2 Enhanced Edition on PC is still the best way to play SH2):
Metal Gear Solid 3
Kuon
King's Field 4
CyGirls (I liked Disk 1 more than Disk 2)
Drakengard 1 and 2
Shadow of the Colossus
Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex
Extermination
Lifeline
Ico
This is not legal advise.
It depends on how similar it is.
Space King is a good example of somethign that is visually similar to 40K, but because it primarily hinges on comedy it can use "spoof" protections in the USA if there ever is legal trouble.
There are a lot of vague and generic concepts in 40K that are not protected by law. Big bulky armor with large shoulder pads, for example. However, if your big armored dudes are visually similar to existing official Space Marines, are called Space Marines, or otherwise copy multiple things about 40K, then it would be an invitation for legal trouble.
This is why it is usually advisable to make something visually different enough that "the average person" would not confuse the two with each other. They should be able to clearly say that your IP is obviously not related to 40K, even if it takes inspiration.
Take Silent Hill and Resident Evil 2. Both games released very close to each other and were compared being in the same category. Silent Hill was Konami trying to steal some of the Survival Horror market popularity from Resident Evil, so SH is clearly inspired by RE. However, the games are clearly different, even though they share similarities.
It looks like a PS3 game with post processing or ReShade. The texture quality is actually sometimes worse than a PS3 game.
Looking at games like Demons Souls, Batman Arkham City, MGS 4 + V, NieR 2010, etc, Wilds does not look like much of an improvement. And some of those games released early in the life of the PS3, so they werent even using the maximum capabilities of the hardware. Sure, Wilds has SSAO and RayTracing (if your GPU can even handle running that at an acceptable framerate), but if you turn those effects off to get better performance the game looks like a PS3 game. And by better I mean you go from like 40fps to 55fps, with Frame Gen disabled.
The game is an unoptimized mess and it does not provide a graphical improvement to explain the bad performance. Its not like Cyberpunk 2077, with hundreds of NPCs or something. There like, 20 dudes in a box canyon village tanking your fps down to sub-30fps.
Trebek, I'll take "Sentences That Are Entirely False" for 500.
Oh boy, I can't wait for top end PCs to barely be able to run the games that look only slightly better than a PS3 game!
Waiter waiter, more poorly optimized games, please!
It wasn't good, but it had good ideas. This is usually true of most bad games, and if these games were given the time and budget to get the proper polish from knowledgeable developers, then there probably would be no bad games at all.
