What is this strange sunlight that's always shining on NPCs faces even when indoors?

Will the codex mislabel this game and hate it because they like reading books more than playing games, you decide.

 

[Vorark]

There is something wrong with unity

Fixed.

I thought so too

I recall TToN having fine performance

i recall your mom having fine performance
ironic because she is also fake 2D

Y U shitpost, Rusty is correct. TTON quickly loaded massive areas, while Pillars and Disco Elysium take 5 minutes to load a broom closet.

disco elysium never loads long for me. the amount is annoying, but they load fast (unless they bloat like pillars later on)

definitely isn't pillars level where i can go to the bathroom, pee, wash my hands and it's still loading

Disco's loading times are no issue, you spend too much time everywhere talking to people/yourself, while in PoE you are usually passing through maps and fuck numanuma.

That's a bit strong. They are an annoyance, and unfortunately they're at their most annoying in the starting area. You're gonna hit four of them in the first 15 minutes of the game.

Some of the later areas are a good deal bigger and you do spend a lot more time in them so they're much less irritating... but it is unfortunate that it's 2019 and we still have to stare at blinking dots on a screen whenever we go through a fukken door.

So this is the ONLY colony that's owned by corporations!?

Well there's a lot of modifiers in there. First of it refers to the *Edge of the frontier*, so that doesn't preclude any other colonies closer to earth. Secondly *distinguished* may mean that there are other known colonies owned by different corps that they are setting themselves apart from. Typical marketing speech in that sense *Come to us, not to those boozos*.

 

[Infinitron]

It makes sense that most colonies "on the edge of the frontier" would be at least nominally controlled by whatever still passes as the legitimate national governments on Earth. Corporations wouldn't normally need to go that far afield. The game gives the impression that the Halcyon colony is some wacky corporate venture gone wrong, not a typical thing.

But it could also be marketing bullshit, sure.

They would do that. Can't have actual satire of capitalism.

I honestly don't mind loading screens with big open areas. Might as well take a break for a cup of tea.

Loading small interiors Pillars/DE style is quite annoying though. You spend 3 minutes picking the area clean then you have to go outside and there's another loading screen.

gives me flashbacks of witcher1 and 10min loading screens for a house
then 20min back out

Whatever they do, you already got the preemptive damage control covered so we're all good lad.

Well worth it

Are loading screens actually a problem in 2019? With modern day SSDs and rigs?

Just look out the window at gaze at the beauty of the world, or tell your wife/co-worker/gay-bi-friend/homeless person, and ENJOY life

 

[Van-d-all]

Honestly, if loading a level in an isometric game like Disco, takes a noticeable (>15s) time on an M.2 drive it feels like we're back to square one.

Annoyingly preachy mocking of capitalism makes me roll my eyes pretty hard, since the alternatives are universally shit. You've gotta mock its faults and the extreme versions of it without sounding like fucking Chairman Mao.

Lol Infinitron seems a little hyped...

Spoiler

I am too.

Wow. What's the rush, fellas? Save something for launch week.

I've gotta say, they've consistently picked great music for the promotional materials. Fucking T. Rex, man.
