I don't even have to read that article to disagree with its conclusion. I'm running a GTX1070Ti and it runs at a stable 60 fps with most on ultra, some on high, some on medium, nothing on low. Considering the visuals, that's not a bad port. Can it be better? I'm sure it can.

To be fair, they list a bunch of reasons why they call it a bad console port, not just the low performance, and it's basically the same list for every Rockstar game.

Red Dead Redemption 2 Benchmark Test & Performance Analysis - TechPowerUp.

From the article:

RDR2 is clearly a console port, and a bad one.

Pretty much sums it up. Just another typical Rockstar game.

Played for about half an hour before I headed back to work. I sat around 40fps with my GTX 1070ti with everything on max except MSAA (off). Hard to judge yet because the game starts in a heavy blizzard, showing off the most performance heavy effects (volumetric, lighting) with bravado. I turned those effects to high, distant shadows to medium and shadows to high which got me to an almost steady average of 60fps. I'm used to 80 now so I'm not happy with it but whatever.

I'm curious if the clear weather long distance setting will improve or worsen the performance.

What resolution?

As a PC player I'm used to being able to dart around with my view and react to the game world with almost unconscious flicks of the mouse. Pad look creates a small amount of friction between my intention and the way the game responds to that intention. Removing that friction simply makes the game feel better to me.

So you're complaining about lower prices?

Boring, pointless sale. With sales all year around as well as sales on Fanatical, GMG, CDKeys.com etc. this is redundant as fuck.

And while the slpc has issues, I'd say Roosh's words speak for him well. I love his blog listing ten reasons heterosexuals should leave America. The first reason is the women overseas are more subservient. Another is "there are less homosexuals abroad." Doesn't that just mean more competition?

Talking about flawed sources!

Your ignorance and racism knows no bounds. Thanks for playing.

“No means no — until it means yes. The sex was painful for her. I was only the second guy she’d ever had sex with. I didn’t think she was lying, because pumping her was like jamming my cock through a medieval keyhole. She whimpered like a wounded puppy dog the entire time, but I really wanted to have an orgasm, so I was “almost there” for about ten minutes. ”

I'm still holding out for a coop arkham game. Beat'em ups are always fun in coop. And if they can get the fantastic combat system to perform coop moves that would be spectacular!

I kind of get what Quinn was trying to say. At least I think so. To be clear, yes I am utterly disgusted that a woman can be killed in her own home by a police officer shooting into it for no reason whatsoever. Just as I am horrified that a man was killed in his own apartment by a trespassing officer. But in both cases the officers were not just cleared of wrongdoing; one received a 10 year sentence (presumably only 10 because the jury believed it was a terrible mistake due to gross negligence rather than malicious) and the other has been fired and is going on trial for murder.

As to the "non-issue" comment, I do in fact disagree. Unjustifiable police shootings clearly is a national issue. I also have no problem with anyone taking a knee to protest. Where I do at least see some common ground with Quinn is where he is saying that evidence doesn't necessarily support racist motivations on the part of police in many of the cases. A bad shooting is a bad shooting, but the question of whether the cop shot simply because the victim was black is dicey and very hard to prove one way or another.

In the case of the female officer killing Mr. Neal because she thought she was in her apartment the question would be would she have done the same if he was white? The answer of course is unknown. Would that moron in Texas have shot through that window had the woman been white? Again, unknown. It is just as likely in my view that the issue is extremely poor judgement or inadequate training. Some cops are just not equipped to make split-second life or death decisions and some are just trigger-happy assholes. Regardless of the underlying causes, however, unjustifiable shootings are just too high for it to be dismissed as a "non-issue" in my opinion.

Statistics that show higher percentages of minority victims of unjustifiable police shootings seem to point to racial motivations on the face of it, but I think one must consider the underlying factors that the statistics don't address before drawing a definitive conclusion. For example, in virtually every major city violent crime is higher in lower income areas. Unfortunately this also means higher minority percentages. (Not discussing correlation or causality her because that is an entirely different issue; suffice it to say that while it IS an issue it is unfortunately just how it is). Higher crime means higher police presence, which in turn means a higher rate of police shootings. Is this an issue of race? I think, fundamentally, it is. But is it an issue of an endemic racism in policing? I don't know. I lean towards feeling it isn't. It stands to reason that there will be racist police (and ya know, FUCK THEM) but is the problem systemic? I don't think it is. Hence why I *think* I get what Quinn is getting at. In the end I get that there is just an overall disgust at the ridiculous number of minorities being killed and how people choose to speak out about that is fine with me as long as it doesn't cause more violence.

What you are saying is literally exactly what I meant to say, but failed to get across to some. If my comment wasn't removed for double-standard bullshit reasons, you would've been moreso convinced that I meant what you just said.

Maybe you didn't post the comment to come to my defence, but thanks anyway.

Literally exactly?

He said he disagrees with your characterization of it being a "non-issue".
That it is fundamentally an issue of race.
And that how people choose to speak out about that (nfl players kneeling, BLM) is fine with him.

That doesn't sound at all like your prior posts on the subject.

I feel like I have proven that this is what I meant, by now. I was unclear in that original post about Colin, and shouldn't have used the word "contradict" but instead should have mentioned the lack of data; the absense of evidence. I think he took the knee against institutional racism, not just police violence. I think that was unclear to Prez. Otherwise I too wouldn't have a problem with Colin's rebellion.

Please quit posting in threads that you turn into race baiting bullshit until you learn basic English.
