A fan of the engine and its capabilities.

But why Frostbite over say Unreal or CryEngine, both of which are more open to the public or Dunia and Snowdrop with is brilliant weather effects and which in my humble option make for more realistic worlds.
I mean yeah Frostbite has Destruction 4.0 but like any other destruction based system it only re-enforces the uncanny valley thus breaking the immersion because only pre-determined objects are destructible.

It had some texture popping issues, as did Unreal to be fair. It wasn't a complete crock of eldridge shite, like say the Creation Engine which Bethesda has been running all their games off since Oblivion. But capabilities wise it, Frostbite, wasn't on par with say latest Dunia or Snowdrop engines, both which have far better weather effects and built in AI.
I am just trying to determine, from the user, what exactly about it he/she/it (sorry dont know your gender [MENTION=12147]8sh[/MENTION]) likes. I like to know these things.

Dunia is great. Was also a huge fan of Chrome engine although I can't see why these days.
Frostbite always just seemed so unstable - like every game that launched with it was virtually unplayable.

Was this on PC or Console?
The last few Battlefields I know have had issue on PC but have been fairly stable on console. So maybe thats more of a developer issue that an issue with the engine.

Maybe you should start playing on hard. Fallout kicks my arse way too often. Although I've never been to comfortable playing first person without a mouse and keyboard. Having said that, the 3rd person view annoys me more than my lack of skill using a PS controller.

Haha! hard. Last hard game I played was Dark Souls which in it self wasn't as Hard as Demon's Souls which I finished about 6 times. Actually XCOM 2 is hard, fucking hard, like bringing me to tears hard. Love that game.
I always play on hard, the problem is that most games aren't hard, well not is a plan ahead, consider your option, execute your plan kind of way. In most cases "hard" involves throwing more and more enemies at you until you get to a point where it just gets stupid.

PC of course

Next question, steam or Origin?
I've found that generally my steam games are uniformly stable, barring the early access ones, while things that need Uplay or Origin or god forbid the Windows 10 app store then to be less so.

Oranges.
Steam has rarely if ever given me problems - same with Uplay funnily enough

I had Uplay crashes with something until I disabled the Raptr overlay. It was infuriating.

I'm a guy, you and I have had many a conversation in the past - probably under a different username.
The frostbite engine in general is a favourite. I only started experiencing it from Battlefield: Bad Company 2 (utilising the Frostbite 2 Engine). Frostbite 3 was very buggy initially, but I only got Battlefield 4 long after its release, so it ran fine on my system (with all the patches etc). I like the Unreal engine as its not too taxing on my system, and really like the Dunia engine as well. Far Cry 4 was a pleasure to play.
The CryEngine is a lot more taxing than Dunia and Frostbite 3, as far as I can tell, however, in terms of what it can offer, it's quite a marvel to behold, but I really think it's more of a showcase engine (spreading its peacock wings) pardon the comparison.
It's just, a game like Crysis 3 is linear-open-world whereas Frostbite and Dunia are more nonlinear-open-world. Maybe in a different setting. Evolve also made use of the engine, but again... Linear-open-world.

Good afternoon... Sick as a dog today. Blah... They're gonna expect me back at work tomorrow too
What about sick leave? Or have you squandered those?
Or will your place of work crumble without your presence?

Because its only allergies, mixed with a weekend of no sleep and bad diet. So I've taken the past two days off. I worked all weekend on server upgrades so its only fair.
And yes, the place could very well crumble without me. Muahaha
