Or even a decade ago. Dark Souls 2 had some enemies' attack animations tied to frame rate, like the Alonne Knights. So they attacked incredibly fast on PC compared to console.

Weapon degradation was also tied to framerate :(

Minecraft has this wonderful mechanism where everything is dependent on game-tick/server-tick, which is independent of player FPS. Why do modern developers keep using FPS for game physics?

[–] Baleine@jlai.lu 3 points 2 months ago

Minecraft is different because it uses a client and server pattern, separating the physics and display loops completely

At least Gearbox isn't spending a year+ denying that the problem exists.
