There have been very few games that gave me this flash-like sensation of breathtaking wonderment at the vastness of their world. Ultima Online, Planetside 2 and Star citizen come to mind.
I caved in to curiosity and got SC maybe 2 years ago.
I’d login in every 3, then every 6 months or so for 1-2 fly-throughs.
Fly-through is when I get into a ship, take a mission or two, get to some planet. Maybe I crash maybe I complete a mission, maybe I succumb to the bugs. Anyhow I keep flying till I’m dead. Then I log out. The whole endeavor takes 2 hours at the longest, so I set some time aside for this.
I don’t watch any tutorials or guides, just figure things out by myself, or, don’t, and leave them for the next flythrough.
I certainly got my money’s worth of entertainment from these few fly-throughs.
There are certainly deeper games out there, or even bigger in terms of playable area. Still, I think, if we put the games on a “immersive experience” chart where Y is visual effects and X is scale, then Star Citizen will be in the top right.
Does anyone here use 8k display for work? Does it make sense over 4k?
I was always wondering where that breaking point for cost/peformance is for displays. I use 4K 27” and it’s noticeably much better for text than 1440p@27 but no idea if the next/ and final stop is 6k or 8k?
$200 plan and VERY tame usage (not 24/7, not every day even, maybe 8-10 hours for ~4 days). Suddenly I am at 96% weekly (!) limit, multiple session limits, two daily limits.
Either they decimated the limits internally, or they broke something.
Tried all the third-party tricks (headroom, etc.), switched to 200k context window, switched back to 4.5.
I hope 4.5 will help, but the rest of the efforts didn’t move the needle much
Not sure about funny, but the schadenfreude from spoiling a plot like this may come from spoilers seeing themselves as being “other” or feeling excluded from a group where the fascination with the media (Harry Potter fans) is the common trait.
You may not want to be a Harry Potter fan, but seeing people obsessed with it and gathering around it may make you feel isolated
