For being the most consistently owned person in SW history  

i like how nobody mentioned him as a candidate and he was like im perfect for the job. what a dumb cunt 

Make me a mod, guys.   1. I don't game at all, and hate video games in general. 2. I barely post here anymore. 3. I'm never nice and I'll abuse my 'mod powers' for shit and giggles

Back to the subject, so here's what's actually going on. 

 

  • Version 1.02 (day one patch) so basically the version every person played is when the game was actually downgraded. It was tested against 1.03, 1.06 etc and they look virtually identical. Version 1.0 is the outlier.
  • From 1.03+ draw in was reduced slightly and there's more environmental pop in, in Valentine some lantern lights at night were also removed
  • Version 1.0 on the disc is the version which Digital Foundry tested pre-release
  • Version 1.0 has the best ambient occlusion implementation, it has more light sources at night and in cities, it has stronger weather effects, it has greater population density

 

So the long and short of it (probably) is they ramped up some of the game features for review impact and then for actual release dialed some things back for a more consistent performance threshold. As we saw in Digital Foundry's analysis though the game at 1.0 performed fine especially on the Xbox systems. So if you have yet to play or still are for the best experience it would be wise to roll back to version 1.0, this can only be accomplished if you own the game on disc. It's the richest version of the game.

This site doesn't have enough people that anyone would be banned for any considerable amount of time either :D 

 

I banned Jimbo for a "month" but by day 3 was like "ok I'ma let him back."

 

I did ban him today again though (3 days) He keeps saying stupid shit referencing kids.. and I'm really not cool with that.. jokes or not.  He's getting enough warnings that if he keeps it up, it WILL be a while before I'd let him post again.  But whether that happens or not is up to him. :francis:

He is this decade's Tupac. He's very similar to him, except only more bitter.

Dynamite is the Jesus of videogame forums, that guy also got hated on and outcast by everyone. You'll see eventually that he's a real treasure.

Well he does get crucified on the regular, if that's what you're gettin' at. :cruise:
