@Iamkalell: Fairly easily for the most part. I mean I've got to have Fallout 4 cranked to minimum, and even then the textures look worse than vanilla Skyrim (original) textures, probably due to only 1GB VRAM and Bethesda being Bethesda. For that matter I can't play The Witcher 3 given the 40 FPS and under in just the first part of the intro area with everything on minimum. Virtually everything else I tend to play these days works just fine.
For reference, the GTS 450 is there primarily for when I want to multi-box MMOs (which is rare these days) and hardware PhysX support, and while it's a bit weak it was, at least a few years ago, still plenty strong enough to handle a pair of monitors with EVE Online clients on them while Borderlands 2 is probably the most PhysX-intensive game I've played recently and doesn't run the card over 50%. I originally tried pairing my just-replaced HD4830 with the HD6870 for 3+ monitor support, but I suspect that there were some driver issues resulting in games being displayed on and that should have been run from the HD4830 to still be rendered by the HD6870 whereas with the GTS 450 I didn't have the issue and games would be rendered on the card that they used the graphics adapter for.
Wish they could've pushed the cards out last month or even in February so that all the rough edges could've been polished and perhaps even some non-reference cards shipped by next month. I've been working towards replacing my HD6870, and possibly my GTS 450 along with it, next month, and these cards are shipping at a pretty awkward time for that. :-/
@tsunami2311: How well, or poorly, live adaptations of anime and video games generally do strikes me as completely irrelevant to complaints of "whitewashing" based entirely on race of the live action actor versus the race of the content creator versus the race or appearance of the content.
Simply put, based on the complaints raised and stances used by the "whitewash" crowd, if someone decided to do a live action adaptation of Robotech, and not necessarily Macross, who would be the best choice to play the role of Claudia LaSalle? Would it be a woman of African descent as we see her in the cartoon, or should she be a really dark-skinned Asian woman, or perhaps an Asian woman in blackface, since anime is Asian in origin and therefore live adaptations must use Asians?
These movies succeed, rarely, and fail for a variety of reasons other than their casting choices. I'm simply questioning how far the folks with the most absurd complaint would be willing to take it.
I wonder if the same folks complaining about using white actors for "Japanese" roles in anime, a medium where it seems like many if not most characters are closer to Caucasian than Asian to begin with, would similarly complain if you used black actors for black characters instead of Japanese actors in blackface.
@JustinGoSka: The title explicitly states that the developer was ditched, not the game nor the game concept, however. I'm not seeing how that's "clickbait" unless lack of reading comprehension on the part of the reader dictates "clickbait"iness of an article.
@Thanatos2k: Unless there are actual business links between the developers, yes, they are "unaffiliated." You might as well say that Runic and Blizzard are affiliated on those grounds, and that doesn't hold up particularly well from my perspective.
@Thanatos2k: Eh, on the one hand, yeah, it is, but it's not official since it's more like a Terraria-clone-in-space game from an unaffiliated (AFAIK) developer. On the other hand, no, it's not, as it doesn't even have the threadbare claims of containing official Terraria content that, IIRC, Edge of Space at least once boasted.
@shortbreadhead: Am I missing something; was the title something other than "Terraria Spinoff's Developer Ditched as Game Is "Well Behind Schedule" 8 hours ago? I'm just curious because the title that I'm seeing strikes me as both accurate and to the point. How is this "clickbait?"
Engine Software is out, Pipeworks is in. Is it "clickbait" because the article had a higher word count than you think necessary to communicate those facts and the reason(s) for the changes?
@jessie82: Which, the part where he spent a grand, or the part where even after spending it he didn't do what most games do for $60, which is to say unlock all available characters, and some do for under $150 once you buy the ransom-ware?
I'm thinking the answer is, "Yeah," but I also figure it's worth asking. :-D
