Anime Might & Magic Heroes Online

[Revenant]

Noticed this was available on Steamu today. Downloaded the 32 MB sized client, I guess the game downloads resources on demand??? Will try to play and see if it's any good. Anyone else has opinions? So far, haven't seen anything on the Codex.

EDIT: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA LOL

This game requires the Adobe Flash Player plugin (32bit) for Google Chrome.
Please download and install Google Chrome.

Fuck you, uninstall.

Played it for a few hours. It's a pay2win game unfortunately. The concept is interesting, the graphics are immersive (kinda like LA2 but isometric), but they had to ruin it with their unimaginative pay2win shit, like it's impossible to make money off of players without selling them win tickets. Idiots.

Flash in 2015?

 

[Bester]

Maybe they're using flash for something minor, but the game is in html5? Anyway, it plays well, the UI is smooth, a lot of effort went into polishing everything. I'd say the issue isn't the technology here.

ubisoft has officially gone maximum retard

Flash in 2015?

However much you'd like to point fingers and laugh, there are areas in which there is still no good replacement for Flash, like live video streaming.

 

[abija]

What? There's been streaming (live or not) without flash for a while, with considerable less cpu usage.
The best part of flash video is how it uses more cpu hardware accelerated than a linux vm running same video through livestreamer without hardware acceleration. Now that's some impressive shitty coding.

 

[Revenant]

Yeah except that HTML5 video is shit. Slow, sometimes doesn't synchronize properly, stutters while changing quality. Give me Flash in place of HTML5 any day of the week

 

[abija]

Yeah, html5 video is shit, flash so much better:

youtube 1080p/60fps: http://i.imgur.com/j7tj1Fl.png (3.2% cpu, 800mhz)
twitch (source, I suppose same values, since it was same live stream): http://i.imgur.com/2Zg8zui.png (20% cpu, 3800mhz)

Never had issues with stutter/synchronize btw, with either html5 or livestreamer.
Also, for fun: livestreamer + mpchc on the twitch stream: http://i.imgur.com/SdRcjiS.png (0.7% + 0.3% cpu, 800mhz)

 

[Revenant]

Maybe that's why Flash is using more CPU, to ensure smooth video playback. I had countless cases of HTML5 performance issues, and Flash was always fast in the last 5 or so years.

 

[abija]

Sure thing, they do amazing stuff in the background TM.

I have used livestreamer (or other stuff) instead of flash video players with 0 issues, long before html5 support was spread enough. Cut the bullshit with smooth video playback, there's no reason to use 30 times more CPU power other than pure incompetence.
