  • Dave stacks up three console versions of Dishonored 2 - plus the highly underwhelming PC build, which still can't hold 1080p60 on a Titan X Pascal, despite the arrival of a new patch.

      Fervently cant even spell "peasant" right. And dont try to invert the roles, consoles are peasants for real reasons, you are just a fucked up troll. What is up with Deus Ex: Mankind Divided and this game averaging 25 fps, on vanilla PS4 and Pro? That is so smooth.

      Fernando Portal Really? I call bullshit, if a Titan X Pascal can't even keep a good lock your not going to have the most ideal experience either. It maybe good enough for you, but what is good enough for you isn't the same for everyone. I have an RX 480 MSI Gaming X, and the game hardly stays locked at 60 on medium to high settings, but Its more like 45 to 60FPS.

      i call bullahit a firewall exception rule cant give such a boost especially because i own an 980ti and i cant maintain constant 60fps even with the beta patch.
      u are probably adaptive resolution with framerate target

    • @Longgshot
      @Longgshot 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      +DJBV If disabling the firewall really improves performance. it means that denuvo is at fault for PART of the issues, because it's the only thing that phones home. Also, even if it didn't phone home, denuvo adds aditional stress for the antivirus / firewall, because it has to scan your pc and the virtual machines (yea, in plural) denuvo creates and runs while you have the game open.
      So... it won't be entirely crazy that it made a diference in performance when you disable your antivirus / firewall.
      BUT that doesn't mean that it will be a good idea to turn your security off.
      Also part of the problem is that ID Tech 5 is shit, specially the fact that it pulls too much data from the HDD instead of ram / Vram. And that causes more antivirus / firewall work. And if part of that data has to go through the virtual machines... you can see things adding up.

    usually i dont complain about the graphics difference, but at 4:55, 3:42 it's really like night and day. The texture of the clothing looks like one found in a PS3/X360 launch title. Of course the PC renders the texture at a much lower resolution but seeing the graphical quality of the rest of the game (which still feels like the original) those low resolution textures. Not to speak of the poor performance in the game with a ~$1200 GPU...

Xbox Scorpio isn't out yet but if they keep to what they said the hardware would be it would definitely 3x outperform the Pro.

    This game really showcases the difference in graphics quality between pc and console despite beeing run in the same resolution. I think the console manufacturers focus on the buzzword 4k with the upgraded consoles will continue the trend of compromised graphical quality but at 4k instead. I rather they give us the high quality graphics of pc with a 60 fps target than just upping the res at the cost of frames and quality.

It looks nice at least and I'm having fun, just got to mission 3 tonight.

    You can see just how big of a difference the change in engine can make. Idtech 5 is just terrible. Not a single game released with it has been spared of major issues. Rage was terrible on PC, Wolfenstein was terrible on PC, The Evil Within was terrible on PC.
    The first Dishonored ran on Unreal 3 which is one of the best engines ever. Pretty much every game runs great on it, and the visual quality they managed to squeeze out of it was nothing short of jaw dropping.
    Why they didn't go with Unreal 4 is beyond me.

      I haven't played Dishonored 2 yet, but I played all of the games you listed at 60 FPS, on or very near launch day at much higher than normal maximum settings. Yes, even Evil Within. Nobody seems to realize the engine just needs a couple tweaks (usually standardized across any game using the engine, btw)
      The REAL problem with the engine is the propensity for developers using it in their games to lock at 60 fps. THAT is fucking bullshit. The performance, on the other hand - UE3 could never dream to match the visuals at the low power requirements.

      @EldritchAugur 7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Bored Bastard Bullshit Really? Bioshock Infinite looks better than any Idtech 5 game and it runs well over 100 fps on a 970. Meanwhile Wolfenstein which looks like compete dogshit with horrible film grain effects and bad texture work is locked at 60 and can barely maintain that on the same card.
      And even though Arkham Knight was a terrible PC port, it still is one of the best looking games ever made on a 10+ year old engine.
      No the engine is not everything but Idtech 5 in particular is absolutely atrocious and has ruined every game that's chosen to use it for me.

    • @ajsingh4545
      @ajsingh4545 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Loved the first game. This game feels like a major step back. This game is just way too easy. You can cheese the AI so easily and the teleportation power up pretty much ruins any suspense and excitement of stealth in this game. If you turn the difficulty up to the hardest ... it completely breaks the AI and makes the game unfair. There is literally no balance in this shit show. The story is laughably bad. The setting is uninspired. There are too many influences going on that I couldn't get a proper feel for the setting. They just threw whatever they thought would work in the pot so they can say "ooooh....look at our cool setting." The level design feels cramped and significantly worse than the first game in most levels. The paths are now obvious so there is little thrill of discovery like in the first game and in Deus Ex Mankind Divided. The voice acting for the main characters feels forced and unnecessary, especially for corvo (sounds cheesy as fuck and ruins the mood). There are literally no memorable side characters like in the first one. Most importantly....you just don't feel like an assassin anymore. The stakes are significantly low compared to the first. In the first game, they nailed the end of days scenario very well and you felt like you were fighting to keep everything you love alive. In a city dying of plague, the signs of live stood out that much more. On the other hand, I could care less for Karnaca and its lore....blood flies were always there.....there are people walking around and life is happening....so the ominous feeling and the dread you felt while exploring Dunwall in the first game is gone. Most of all, I just don't give two shits about the story they want me to give two shits about. Lost your throne? Boo fuck hoo. The glitches were an icing on the cake. I just got a resounding "meh" feeling throughout my play through.
      Also....the painterly art style that made me love Dishonored is mostly gone....and replaced with a generic post processing heavy visual style that I've seen before (..cough..Assassins Creed Unity...Syndicate).
      Play the old Thief games and splinter cell games if you really want to experience proper stealth.

    I knew there was something odd about the 1080p image on my pro, but i only thought it was a really bad supersampling implementation and not that it doesnt do jack shit.
    The game also has lots of texture seam issues and other graphical anomalies on console that i wish youd touched on. Graphically its a bit of a mess at times tbh.
    Great game though.

    I know you guy know lots more than me, but I don't think you mentioned anything about field of view custom options on pc. not that anyone would want to play it at 110°, but you can on pc. It is interesting to play around with. I have heard how narrow a field of view Destiny is and did not realize what people ment until playing this game, now I know why I'm always getting shotgunned in the head in PvP.

    Indoors its above 80 fps usually. the 45 fps is no problem at all on my Gsync pannel. (i use the current Beta patch)
    I am enjoying this game very very much the game play and story are really good.

    You'd think they would've used UE4 since they have experience with UE3. Performance wouldn't have been a issue either. Graphically what I've seen in the videos, their in house engine hasn't done anything for me.
    Dishonered 1 was good in my book. Hated it when I rented the 360 version. Always felt like I was playing it wrong. But getting it on steam for 6$, I rathered enjoyed it actually. It felt better and native to keyboard/mouse. Something just, clicked. Specially with the performance issues I hear about, sounds like I"ll wait for 2 to go cheap as well.

I get these videos are professionally created without any bias and they're doing a good job bringing issues to light. What really bothers me are the reviews which don't mention the technical issues this game is having on any platform.
    I just wish somewhere someone major in the industry would finally speaks up about poor gaming optimisation, maybe Steam refunds are the way forward, I don't know but it's been going on for way too long.

    why does he say if you have a 1080p tv on the pro you get no benefits? Even though the game doesn't downsample unless you have a 4k tv and switch (definitely a bug) - isn't it still enabled so it gets the boost in framerate to hit the 30fps rather than dropping like the others?
    If so then I would say the pro version is the way to go on the console side.

    Blurry and Cinematic at the same time tsk tsk. I am dissapointed Bethesda. It's a shame because Dishonored 1 is amazing. This game improves on dishonored 1 in every way but takes a huge leap backward and falls flat. The bad performance is really ruining the experience for many including me. The PC version is sub par but it is still the best of the bunch. If your game is not getting locked 60 fps at 1080p on a Titan X GPU then you should reconsider releasing it in that state. Fuck you for disrespecting your customers Bethesda (again).

How did they fuck this up so bad?
