Poster must be a PC gamer who doesn't use the Microsoft store (like most PC users who'd identify as gamers, probably?). It hit Steam this year, was on XBone and MS Store in 2018.
Personally, I'd forgotten there was a MS store until I looked this up just now.
And lord was it annoying as fuck to get off Microsoft store. It was something like a 50gb download and it could get version desync, the only way to get around was (in my experience) was to completely wipe it and reinstall. But completely wiping was ALSO super hard to do, because it was saved in like... $APPdata or some weird hidden folder.
All this on top of the fact that my c:/ drive is tiny and I want to install my games on an external harddrive. In fact I think I had a double install going at one point.
I'm glad I've avoided it so far. I already have three stores I use and that's at least one too many, but Epic won't stop showering me with free games (I've bought one and have a library of... 30ish? Maybe more?) so I keep them around for now.
I would certainly find it mysterious and confusing to find a game installed to %APPDATA%, and I've been a PC gamer for over two decades. Saved games and config files, sure, possibly mods too, but if a game installed somewhere without asking first I'd expect it to be in %PROGRAMFILES% or %PROGRAMFILES(X86)%. Either way, as the owner of a PC with multiple SSDs I'd be somewhat miffed by not being asked first where the game should be installed, as I put most of my games on my D: drive, which is much larger (but slower) than my C: drive.
They also have only 288 reported cases, which is astonishingly low and hard to believe. But possible -- Taiwan is similar. Though Taiwan does not count as one of the warmer climates like Singapore or Malaysia.
It is not merely that people are old that makes them susceptible to Covid-19. It is other factors that correlate with age that make them more susceptible. One of those factors could very well be lack of vitamin d.
FF 7 remake comes extremely close though. That's the best looking UE4 game I know. It's expected that real games do not have demo levels of visual fidelity.
FF7 Remake is such mixture of amazing graphics and not amazing graphics, but then the level of detail in scenes makes up for it (pretty much all of the midgar slums), I don't know what to think so I revert to "am I having fun?" which is a resounding YES!
I think the Decima engine would have worked better (Horizon Zero Dawn), because the bar for 'amazing' is so high. Final Fantasy 7 requires impressive visuals for its story to have impact in its original release, in all of its spinoffs, and that bar is so high now.
I will say its Gears 5. Coalition has been incredible with their usage of Unreal since the original Gears of War back in Xbox360 days. They peaked with Gears 5.
The original Gears was developed by Epic and was a very good showcase (and probably a driver and validator as well) for the Unreal Engine tech Epic developed in parallel.
They describe how this is still their dynamic when they mention their goal to have Fortnite running on UE5 before they consider it ready for the masses.
That is an entirely subjective measure that can only be determined by each individual/household rather than something that can be determined centrally and applied to everyone.
It shows the ability of humans to preserve and propagate animal species when there is an incentive to do so. No need to worry about cows going extinct.
Depends on how you define extinct; for example: how many bovine are there in the wild? Are domestic bovine genetically equivalent to prior wild bovine populations? Etc.
