It was better than a wall of text about the human eye and what it can and cannot see along with a dissertation on why HD and 4k are over the top and not necessary. Besides, Bob's compressions are great! :cool:
1440p and 4k are indeed somewhat overkill for an AVN I'd say. 1080p is the sweet spot. Any lower than that I don't like. And compression doesn't usually change the resolution itself.

Mostly what folks see is a slight difference in contrast and sharpness and that makes them feel like it's clearer. The reality is that the eye isn't seeing it any differently but the brain is making different assumptions about what is there. Everybody has differing taste. I like the increased download speed and less wear and tear on my hard drive. My brain thinks the girls are just as hot at 1080p as they are at 8k!:p

I mostly use uncompressed versions, my internet is fast, my AVN dedicated HDD is fine, plenty of space, so why not. But yeah, generally with good compression it's hard to tell the difference from a glance. Now if the resolution is lower that I can easily tell. Rendering at 4k is a fucking waste of time and resources though :ROFLMAO: Not many do it thankfully.

The best graphic artists know that making the original render at a very high resolution will produce the best results when it is reduced and formatted for optimal consumption. It's when they do it the other way round that they get grainy poor quality images.

from what I meant to understand that weren't rapists, they were just thugs, hired to kidnap the sister, more so if you read the dialoges when the other one gets killed.
Probably the hot Tabasco sauce..... :p ;):ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:
There is a bounty on her and MC's head. Whoever tried to kidnap them is still acting.

Only confirms, that they were hired spontaneous, by the third party and it wasn't a planned attack, also confirms that Jess don't has a shadow like Elea, or MC had, or that her shadow is corrupted.
On contrary, Jess has a shadow. She is the friend who knew the tunnels and therefore guided her to Neverwhere, drunk a lot and left her there unattended. I bet she will exposed and will be in trouble with the templars in the next chapter.

Enjoy! It's a great update.
Even though mine was less than 30m long at a slow pace, I can't say I enjoyed it at all.

Pros:
No Parents, no Kaija, no Elea, no Fiona, no Mebd, no Elves, no Templars. That was all great! Nightinfail scene was fine...didn't bother me too much.

Cons:
Pretty much no story. Kinda felt like a filler. No Kate, no Mac, no Nimue, no Park Lady, no Twister Girls made me sad :(
Nothing about my relationship with Finn was translated into this update. Quite the opposite actually. The game just assumed I had full points with her when I had none at all. Might as well have killed the bitch duting the duel I guess.

That was short and uneventful - except for the Jess fireball thing - Came back, talked to Jess, hung out with Jess, went to work, fought Nightingale, "rescued" Jess - the end. Still waiting to string up some Templars.

I understand but I was at full points with Finn and it felt like it downplayed it, like it was sad but not that big of a deal really, time to get back to the exciting world of insurance and let it go. Jess was supposed to be seeing what she could find out about Finn but she decided to ignore our agreement and go party in Neverwhere instead.

What I don't understand is: is it a good update or not?

So it's a joke after all these months.
So I wasted hours downloading something mediocre.
Huh?? You have content with All LIs except Medb.

v0.6.0.1 - Book 1, Chapter 6
Chapter 6, called "Crossroads", is the biggest Chapter to date, although that heavily depends on your choices before.
The main focus of this Chapter is the personal stories of Kaija, Fiona, and Elea since they had barely any screentime in Chapter 5. So if you ignore those 3, Chapter 6 can feel very short.

I don't know what you mean, but I feel like I'm being taken for a ride before I even get the update, and I'm getting tired of it.
Gino, If you start the Game new, then better don't read anything in the thread,
For me it was a great Update, and I had closure, and background info for all 3 girls I have a save.


RN is playing a celibate path he dislikes every girl only the sister he loves.
the other one wants to kill everyone and only keep the Alfar alive ....

True, it's probably best for you to make your own opinion instead of taking it from people that play this game to be celibate or whatever the fuck.

If you like the LIs then this update contains content for 3/4 of them, it depends on what path you are on.

You need to take the advice about playing it for yourself and forming your own opinion, IMHO. If you are interested in Kaija, Elea, Fiona or all three there is a lot of content for each one of them in addition to what the Finn mourners have mentioned.

Even though mine was less than 30m long at a slow pace, I can't say I enjoyed it at all.

Pros:
No Parents, no Kaija, no Elea, no Fiona, no Mebd, no Elves, no Templars. That was all great! Nightinfail scene was fine...didn't bother me too much.

I mean, I guess. It was really short and mostly the MC going to work and watching TV with Jessica. Nothing really happened until the end.
Maybe you two could start a "Resurrect Finnabair" movement. I might stop by to watch the drama... Naw, I think I'll just go fuck Elea and Fiona instead.;)

Edit: I'm thinking of designing a new sig for this story. I'll fit the slogans, "Resurrect Finnabair" and "Finn Mourners Unite" on it.:p
