The Demon's Souls remake fixed nearly all the gameplay issues with the original, farming shit is not required.

I dunno if everything can be done offline but all the material and weapon farming objectives are replaced with exploration based stuff.

granted it took me a day and half to beat the original when I did it years ago. But now if it requires no bullshit from multiple runs or multiplayer shit you can probably beat it within hours with no outside help.

So how are they useful in any way? Using just one company as the reference (Nvidia), they don't even use a general "teraflop" term -
the 3080 reveal says "238 tensor tflops" and "58 raytracing teraflops" How is this averaged into one term when they're two different things? And you won't find teraflops used much on actual specs comparisons because they don't translate over to actual computing power. Comparisons of card processing if you're just going by specs should be comparisons of memory and cores, but what actually matters is how the card works in real tasks. For gaming, running it on various games and comparing performance, and with general tasks how quickly it can render a scene benchmark among other things. Teraflops are just the modern MHZ/GHZ.

You are completely clueless so this is gonna be my last post on this subject. Yes, Nvidia started using new terms when they started including new dedicated Raytracing hardware. This has nothing to do with the pure rasterization performance we are talking about here.

"And you won't find teraflops used much on actual specs comparisons because they don't translate over to actual computing power"

It's a very useful number to compare PC OR console hardware.

e.g.

Xbox One has 1.31 TFLOPS while PS4 has 1.84. A difference in performance that resulted in the PS4 having higher resolutions in most cases, as expected by the numbers.
PS5 and Xbox Series X have a similar difference, with the advantage being on the MS side this time.

Again, you initial statement that TFLOPS are a buzzword is nonsense. This is not BLAST PROCESSING lmao. You come across as a console fanboy butthurt by numbers.
 
This reminded me of that Polygon article about a Guitar Hero (or Rockband?) press event where the journalist didn't want to be there. He complained about the concept of playing the guitar on a plastic toy so instead he decided to spend the rest of the event talking about politics in the Philippines with a colleague while drinking champagne and eating canapés.

Love that memory.

I don't care for either of the consoles. I just wonder how you justify this term to be anywhere near a rational way to compare raw computation. The card companies seem to only care about these numbers in marketing, too, which makes me believe it's BS all the more.

The first place I actually see this, and it's again, two different terms.

Lol really proving your argument by using userbenchmark and nvidia's own website for benchmarks :story:

"Physics are a buzzword". Enough OT sperging at this point.

>Drone pads out review with Dune tangent.
>Review is around 3,000 words long.
>Sees Kiwis are arguing over hardware specs like the autists that they are.

At least Game Informer didn't beat around the bush, back in the day.

I'd expect the autistic drone to suffer from sensory overload with the controller. Aww, let me find a pacifier.

Wasn’t it already reported that the PS5 pre-orders would have the console starting off with bugs and not be operable on release day?

Games are rushed out, consoles are rushed out. These problems are pretty much endemic to the games industry as a whole. 360 had the red ring due to failure to produce a decent cooling system. Ps2s had a ton of issues when they rushed them out the door to meet demand. These companies have no patience especially when the Christmas season money printer is at stake.

And somehow being hired to not only do that, but to review hardware also without knowing anything about either. And not even bothering to learn the bare minimum to BS your way through. The absolute state of Kotaku.
