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 :(

Huh, now i know why that particular enemy are janky as heck in every aspect.

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?

basically every game uses ticks lol this was not intentional

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.
