Thread: Nier Automata has "fake" HDR on Xbox. Please Devs, don't make this a thing.
I mean no auto exposure. But to me this makes no sense. This sounds like you got a bad TV that achieves higher nits by scaling the whole panel. You might be able to disable this in the settings but then it will probably never achieve the brightness necessary for something like the sun.

But movies do the exact same thing. Only difference would be that the exposure is usually shot by shot so it might not be as obvious to you? As long as we are watching content on a TV this will be necessary as the eyes can not adapt to a 2m rectangle in front of you when lets say watching a night scene in a well lit room. Without an exposure change you wouldn't be able to see anything.

Thread: Nier Automata has "fake" HDR on Xbox. Please Devs, don't make this a thing.
I get what you are trying to say but images that are captured with a camera to show the difference HDR makes on a SDR screen make no sense. If anything this just proves that the tonemapper of whatever camera this was shot with is far superior to that of the TV / film (which honestly it almost always is). Most games are already created in a "HDR-Ready" way these days as PBR has become standard practice, but if there arent constant reviews in HDR during production details like light / glow intensity, material response in the highlights, grading, exposure etc. might not look good once you see the whole range. In addition to this the game needs different output curves for SDR and HDR, with the HDR curve never being the simple job everyone expects as there isnt a decent standard and the consumer needs enough control to make the image look good on his horrible 200nits TV. Another showstopper is exposure. While some studios have started to do fixed exposure in HDR I personally think that makes no sense and the exposure should be mastered in HDR and then offset in the SDR tonemapper. Something that obviously cant be done after the fact.

So whats the best strategy if you want to do a skeleton fort? Were not actually having trouble with the fort more with the constant pvp.... You can only sink so many ships until you run out of supplies.

We tried that every time but didnt even get a response. Seems like everyone is in party chat. Maybe were just unlucky with the forts.

Thread: Sea of Thieves |OT| A Rare Treasure
Wow, was just sailing through a giant storm solo on a sloop with lots of captain chests and skulls! This game has some super stunning moments and the atmosphere is top notch most of the time. I find a lot of the negativity for this game to be quite disheartening as it is often aimed at a lot of things that I enjoy very much and that have been absent from games for many years (no tutorials / trial and error, sandbox PvP gameplay, focus on atmosphere and world building without xp bars or rewards on every stone you find). Guess it was to be expected, I might stay out of these threads if it gets any worse and come back once the hype has died down and the rest of us are allowed to have fun.

It was about the world changing so I guess it was the server thing. Really nice way of doing that, felt special and ive never felt special getting merged into a different server before :D

Im not 100% sure this is how it works but I think you have to lure them in the shadow (leaves go brown) and then cut them down with the cutlass. This is how I had the most luck with them so far.
