no one is acting like this is unique.

Yes actually, they are. That's the entire reason this debate began; some developers claimed that Baldur's Gate 3 is a unique occurrence and should be treated as such, rather than an example of a AAA video game meeting the expectations of consumers.

I think that was the point the person you replied to was getting at: not only is it completely fine for consumers to have these expectations, but it's actually not even as rare as these developers are making out. There are other examples of AAA development studios and publishers who aren't engaging in blatantly anti-consumer practices, so the ones that do really have no excuse.

That's a bingo

My example was just the first that came to mind. But like baldurs gate, you can tell the amount of care and passion that has been put into it. And it's a AAA title no matter whether people think otherwise due to it being a Switch exclusive (admittedly, I only play switch games nowadays on my PC emulated in 4k60fps but still..)

Yeah it's a great game. Monolith and the Zelda devs constantly knock it out of the park with these huge titles.

Ugh, totk can't break 30fps on my computer. What's your rig?

[โ€“] accideath@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

botw and todk are fps limited to 30fps by default due to their physics engine being tied to the framerate. There are workaround/hacks though to get them running smoothly in an emulator. (At least there is for the wii u version of botw in cemu, Iโ€™m not quite up to date with switch emulation but Iโ€™d be surprised if there wasnโ€™t)

I know of the hacks, my pc is just incapable of running it. After install i think i got 60fps, sometimes, if i looked at the ground. :)
