That was my biggest issue with it- the FOMO, but it’s not nearly as bad as it was. At least it doesn’t seem like it. Maybe they’ll still prove me wrong. I’ve only been playing again for a month or so.
But I stopped playing around Shadowkeep, and I got everything since (so I think four or five expansions) for like $35. Which is a solid value considering I mostly just wanted to play the campaigns, and do some funny builds.
Oh, that’s interesting. I am also using an R5 3600 lol.
Indoors, my performance is fine on medium it seems. It doesn’t change much from the 60fps I get on low. But outdoors it is rough. Even on low.
Edit: hah, either I did it and forgot- or the game defaulted- to a 60fps frame cap, which explains part of it. I actually get more like 70-80fps with occasional stutters when indoors. Also for sake of discussion, I’m on the Xbox Gamepass for PC version which, from prior experience, might be different in entirely random ways.
That’s extremely interesting.
I have an RX6600 and I’m barely getting 60fps indoors on low. Hm, maybe my CPU is the issue, but I’m well above the minimum requirements.
The difference is probably largely raytracing, though. I’d expect most of the cards that are struggling with the game to absolutely demolish it just by turning RT down.
TIL. I didn’t realize it started in the browser originally.
Warframe can be super overwhelming, though. There’s a billion things to do and it’s hard to know where to start. I had issues with that when I was getting back into the game awhile back, and I’d already completed a ton of the content. If you actually want tips on how to manage it: set short term goals and long term goals, and just go for those. Shut out anything that isn’t relevant and focus on specifically on whatever you decided was your goals. My long term goal, for example, was to complete all the story quests. My short term goals were basically a checklist of things I needed to do to start the next quest lol.
Plus, the game being almost entirely PVE means that in my experience the community is great. If you have questions or need help just ask, and someone will probably be willing to help. There’s an excellent Warframe community over on the dormi.zone instance. It’s reasonably active and they’re helpful over there. Plus Q&A chat is just in the game.
… yeah, I’m aware AI isn’t a person. I’m not sure why that’s a question? Maybe I phrased things badly, but I’m not- nor have I ever- been really mad about AI usage. It’s mostly just disappointment.
It’s just a technology. I largely dislike the way it’s being used, partly because I feel like it has a lot of potential.
Why? AI doing one good thing doesn’t erase the dozens of bad ways it’s utilized.
I’m interested to see AI used on a larger scale in really specific ways, but the industry seems more interested in using it to take giant shortcuts and replace staff. That is going to piss people off, and it’s going to really piss people off when it also delivers a shit product.
I’m fine with DLSS, because I want to see AI enhance games. I want it to make them better. So far, all I can see is that it’s making them worse with one single upside that I can just… toggle off on my end if I don’t like it.
Also some genres lend themselves better to one or the other. I prefer controller for platformers and fighters, but prefer TB + KB for almost everything else
Yeah, I agree. I use a controller for platformers, fighting games and racing games. Also sometimes action RPGs- I’ve played Dark Souls with both input methods.
My only absolutely hard line is using a controller for any kind of shooter. I just can’t, and trying is a very frustrating experience.
There are a lot of different preferred styles, as an example: eSports tends to higher DPI (dots per ich) since every millisecond counts but the precision falls behind which can be trained.
This is accurate, yeah. Sometimes pros use 400 DPI, some use 1000 DPI. There’s probably at least a few madlads using 2000+ dpi or some shit.
Personally, I use 1600. I don’t have a particular reason for that- I might actually try turning it down- it’s just what feels comfortable.
You can install a mod that removes the need for saviour’s schnapps. I considered it but I only learned about it when I was basically done lol
You can ignore/mitigate most of the survival mechanics in KCD. For food, I highly suggest grabbing the human dustbin perk, which lets you eat spoiled food without any downsides. Once you have that keeping fed is so easy it’s basically an afterthought. For health, there’s a healing potion that is incredibly plentiful. It doesn’t have proper health regen aside from sleeping, but I had ~30 of the healing potions by the end of the game having crafted none of them. Keep a bunch of bandages on hand as well in case you get a bleed. I only had a handful across my entire playthrough but bleeds can be annoying if you can’t just fix them with bandages. As for sleep, I encountered a need to sleep a total of like three times across a 60hr playthrough.
The combat can be difficult, but it’s far from being a soulslike.
You might like it. You also might not idk.
Ellie Gibson - from the Scummy Mummies podcast - said Mr Baszucki’s message risked sounding “a bit of a get out”.
“It’s much easier said than done, especially when all their friends are playing it,” she told the BBC.
That’s wild to me. “Your platform isn’t safe.” “So don’t let your kids use it.” “But all their friends are on it!”
It is way more of an enjoyable experience now than it was on launch. I just still find it sort of flawed on a core level. The exploration is clearly supposed to be a primary focus of the game, but I just find it incredibly bland after a bit. After I finished with that, I don’t really know what to do with the game aside from… keep flying around trying to find something worth finding.
I put 40hrs into it. I don’t regret that, but I also have zero interest in continuing to play it past that.
This game has already had a remaster in 2015. I’d rather they remaster Gears 2, 3, or Judgement. Y’know, all the ones I can’t play without an Xbox.
