Yes you can tell some games might be shit, but you also have NPCs parroting whatever the internet tells them. Cyberpunk is a perfect example. The game was great and benefited from fixes that came from complaints, but you have lots of people who never played it and still act like it is a buggy piece of shit that sucks
I don't care how they fixed it. They released a piece of shit

You didn't read the part where I mentioned some people still think it is a buggy POS because they never bothered to play the game and just parrot shit online

that is a really stupid take. Shit like that is how Bioware almost destroyed the rpg market. and, every turned based rpg turned into Diablo. "industry common knowledge" as they just listen to themselves and destroy the industry. some bioware lead decides no one wants turn based rpgs anymore. tells this to everyone. those people go to work at other studios, and this perpetuates.
Theres a ton of trends that work this way. and suddenly the are SHOCKED when someone finally bucks the trend, and realize they have no idea what the public wants.
Have you been taking Chukzombi's creative writing class?

Pretty sure I agree with the post, but not sure I will ever recover...

Here is the video game industry in a nutshell. (Along with other spokes in the wheel)

Specifically, under Step 4 identity, and pretty much all of step 5.

On the plus side, Sweet Baby Inc and all the other idiots will collectively lose their shit since DLSS5 will make everyone normal looking again.

There's nothing "normal" about the AI slop that DLSS 5 creates. If anything, it could just as easily be used to turn characters into the kind of degenerate shit they love.

Don't be one of those "ai slop" morons. I do agree that several of the "results" we saw in these demos were trash, but others were quite good. If I were a game dev, I wouldn't let DLSS5 touch my work if what we saw would be the result, but it appears gamedevs will have total control over how much DLSS5 will affect their work and be able to disable it. So I'm not worried at all. In regards to the trash results, if they were all much more subtle, people wouldn't be so against it.

I'm not, I've been saying for a while now that the only thing worse than AI slop are the people who bitch about it non-stop. I don't care if studios use AI for concept art, that GOG had the audacity to create a banner for a sale with AI tools, or any of the other shit people lost their minds over recently. That DLSS 5 reveal was a fucking abomination on a whole new level though. Especially what they did to RE9 and Hogwart's, but they even somehow managed to make Starfield characters look worse than they already do.

My point was more about what Ut said about it making characters look "normal" again, and even if developers are more subtle about it than Nvidia was, that's just not going to happen. There's just something akin to uncanny valley that happens when AI gets involved with art, and there's currently nothing that can get around that fact.

Don't really care all that much though. The last Nvidia GPU I owned was a GF4 Ti4600 and that's never going to change.
