Why don't ya make a thread for EVERY game you think is great and deserves a sequel.

You sound pretty confused. Microsoft sent out teams to help developers optimize the games precisely because the XB1 is the weaker platform. Having an extra helping hand from Microsoft doesn't make the XB1 version's the lead platform. They have to take the PS4 version, and scale it down to make it into the XB1 version. You said it yourself - neither console has exotic architecture, therefore there is no significant gains to be found in optimization. Purely because the PS4 is capable of 1080P games - the Xbox One is set up against that standard and obviously it has trouble competing. If the PS4 wasn't more powerful or chosen to be the lead platform, games wouldn't look any better than the XB1 version.

Logical explanation for the shortcomings? It's simply not powerful enough. Christ - it's not hard to understand. It will not play out like the PS3 because the Xbox One isn't difficult to code for like the PS3 is. The Xbox One is simply behind because developers are going to pick the strongest console for lead platform and that means the Xbox One will always have to deal with worse textures, lower FPS, and low resolutions. Microsoft took the gamble that they could make a console that combines the PS3+Wii appeal (multimedia + motion gaming) and what they produced was a console that doesn't do anything particularly well.

And quit the hyperbole - it's not barely stronger than the 360. You're smarter than that BluRayHiDef...right?

Sure - it's an ugly game, but it always looked cheap and ugly from the pre-release gameplay footage - I'm not sure why people are surprised.

Did ND announce her gayness to coincide with this game's release? What a bunch of fucking weirdos. Kids kissing kids? Oh my.

1080p is good chunk nicer looking than 720p. Sure from 10+ feet back you wouldn't be seeing all the detail anyways but if there is one thing you can pick out from that distance is the massive amount of jaggies.

Claiming something is a mere port cash grab is another way of saying something sucks, genius.

So, you're also saying the UI hasn't been completely redesigned from the mod? Why can't you or your buddy elaborate on that a little bit? It was already explained how it's a completely different interface from the ground up...yet you failed to explain how it's similar to the old UI in one way. As KH said, If you have to go around spreading misinformation about games to try to make a point, it's pretty clear you don't have one...

he even said in his post that they WERE near identical to the mod, and that he was able to excuse it with the mod because it was limited to arma controls. the SA is NOT limited to arma controls, and yet the controls are still completely bonkers/unintuitive/drivel.

The game is still made on the ArmA engine, why the hell would you expect the game to have completely different controls? Expecting a night and day difference in terms of controls when it comes to the brand new alpha of the game...says a lot about your expectations from an alpha product. What's so bad about the controls again? WSAD too unintuitive for you?

This thread should be renamed "I bought an alpha expecting a finished game, why is this game so bad?!".

About time, considering preorders on Steam are always full price. Steam is pretty much the only place I buy PC games from these days (aside from key resellers).

Might just be the impression I get from your desktop and task manager, but your PC looks effed up. It typically should show how many background processes are running at the bottom left of your task manager.

Speaking of which - go to the processes tab and try to see how many you have running.

And yes - any programs running that you don't know about is a BAD thing. You should try to keep tabs at what's running all the time.

@lostrib:

It is sadly, Its resolution is a touch lower on ps3 and missing out on a good chunk of foliage.
