Doesn't COD use EOMM and not SBMM?

[sinful cobalt]

no cod use SBMM

Skill based matchmaking is fine

Also in blind tests people prefer SBMM

even if they dont realize it

[vapid lintel]

Skill based matchmaking is objectively better

Get the scrubs and the sweatlords out of my mediocre lobbies

[fading spade]

What eomm?

[proper basin]

cod youtuber conspiracy

[maiden tulip]

As a casual player i agree

[hardy merlin]

Engagement optimized matchmaking
Basically if the algorithm detects that you'll be playing more matches if you lose the next one, it'll throw you under the bus, to let win people who are already frustrated that they are losing too much
Basically it wants you to play as long as possible

[vapid lintel]

That seems very EA

[hardy merlin]

Wouldn't you know it - guess who wrote a paper on it https://web.cs.ucla.edu/~yzsun/papers/WWW17Chen_EOMM

I feel this is how cod mobile works

Idk why bo6 feels so corporate
It gives the same vibes as Forza horizon 5 to me

I really haven't a clue how to explain that properly

Black ops 6 on PS5 looks like upscaled cod mobile

[little cape]

the spawns suck in bo6

beside that im enjoying it for now

[fading spade]

Wait nvm
My sis downloaded the PS4 version to save space

Idk what the PS5 version looks like

The system requirements aren't that bad actually
The deck might be able to play it pretty well

(yes yes I know... Deck using Windows booted from SATA SSD plugged in with USB adapter)

[trim rock]

Well yeah they still target 60 FPS on previous gen consoles after all, so it should scale down nicely

[fading spade]

Wait the Windows drivers for Deck aren't really functional
It may not work

[outer pollen]

5/10 wtf lol

[fading spade]

Oh
The PS4 version probably runs better on PS5 because of the SSD
Ps4 only has HDD

[maiden tulip]

I have a sata ssd in my ps4 pro because its a 5400rpm drive and i got annoyed at it back then

I got a good game earlier

just won a match where the entire team was using odin and ares

You getting Empire of the Ants @proper basin ?

[willow quiver]

my poor 6700XT in space marine 2
FSR performance, mix of low to high settings
~45-65fps

[fallow bronze]

sounds ok to me

not great, not bad. more like expected?

[fringe salmon]

Nah fsr performance is quite a lot of upscaling so I can’t imagine that looking nice

[willow quiver]

it doesn't look horrid but i've seen much better

at 1440p it's rendering at like half scale

[fallow bronze]

oh, fsr performance.

[willow quiver]

yeaa

it's smooth enough i can probably raise fsr to balanced and not lose a lot

i don't really care about lowish framerates as long as the frametimes are consistent i can.. tolerate it

[novel umbra]

Game just doesn't run nice

[willow quiver]

i've seen games run better and look better while doing it

but the swarm engine is like pretty fucking incredible i gotta admit

[maiden tulip]

Nico plays it at ultra 1080p at 55-65fps on a 2080

Im confused why your perf is so bad

Whats your cpu?

[willow quiver]

5800X3D

[novel umbra]

play monster hunter wilds then

[willow quiver]

should eat it

[maiden tulip]

Something's wrong with your shit i think

[willow quiver]

no thanks,performance is sickening

[maiden tulip]

If a 9700k + 2080 outperform you

[willow quiver]

not really seems like it's pretty standard

[novel umbra]

1080p

[maiden tulip]

He's getting 45 on fsr performance that's like... less than 720p

[novel umbra]

1440p is like almost double the pixels

[willow quiver]

I'm also running via proton so that would eat a few frames as well

might try DXVK_ASYNC

[maiden tulip]

Yeah nico's on windows

[willow quiver]

47 frames on ultra 1440p is about what I'm getting

[fringe salmon]

Badly optimized game runs bad on amd, nothing surprising there

[maiden tulip]

Runs fine on my 7900xtx

[fringe salmon]

Yes which is a tiny bit better than a 6700

[willow quiver]

poorly optimized yes but it's an amd partnered game lol should run alright

[maiden tulip]

Referering to the amd optimization here

[willow quiver]

a better GPU running better isn't new info tbh

[fringe salmon]

And looking at the TPU benchmarks those numbers seem about right

[willow quiver]

I'll try a few optimisations to try make it better

I just threw everything at it as a test

[maiden tulip]

another issue though
I can't access online mode getting AVR error or something

[maiden tulip]

But I thought all multiplayer games were flawless on linux

You told me so a few days ago

[willow quiver]

it isn't a Linux problem lol

[maiden tulip]

Doubt

[willow quiver]

win 10/11 users also report it so no, it's not

[novel umbra]

worked fine for me

friend of mine got disconnected a few times

and pings are seemingly random

[maiden tulip]

Worked fine on both rigs in my house

[novel umbra]

it's either 30 or 300

[outer pollen]

[novel umbra]

wdym, game is lookin fresh

[willow quiver]

yoo mh:w got ported to 3ds?
based

[novel umbra]

the models are lookin like daniels

[willow quiver]

yea just tested, windoze 10 has about 1.3% better performance same settings

[novel umbra]

margin of error

[proper basin]

Big gains

[willow quiver]

we're targeting the cinematic experience boys

[novel umbra]

apparently that game is wholely incapable of loading textures properly

[willow quiver]

still has no online but that might have something to do with me removing the VMs NIC

actually I'd wager that's 100% of the issue

fuck you microsoft I am NOT upgrading to 11

[hardy merlin]

Upgrading

To 11

[willow quiver]

the nomenclature they use indicates it's better but I'd argue otherwise

hurr durr but we got AI!!!

[hardy merlin]

MS copied from Apple and supposedly renames Copilot to Windows Intelligence

[fading spade]

🤦‍♀️

[hardy merlin]

I mean, an oxymoron, but sure, go for it

[fading spade]

Microsoft WI

[willow quiver]

going the 2007 Nintendo route

[fading spade]

Yes yes indeedy xd

[willow quiver]

they should call it Windows L

[fading spade]

Nah
That's Windows in general

Especially S Mode

[pure bear]

what is that

[willow quiver]

trimmed down garbage

[still spire]

Every game runs good ofr Dashi

[fading spade]

A version of Windows typically sold on cheaper computers and you can't install any exe files
Just software from the Windows Store

Originally they made you pay 50 dollars to exit S Mode and have a normal Windows install but I think it's free now

[pure bear]

tf haha

[maiden tulip]

Space marine runs fine

Monster hunter tho is rough

Playable but rough

[pure bear]

yeah i hope they can fix it :/

[narrow junco]

I hope i can get a new gpu before its out :/

[pure bear]

that too

[proper basin]

We’ll see

[narrow junco]

I was so ready to buy a 4080 super

Then i looked at the prices

[proper basin]

Openbox comes in clutch for me

[narrow junco]

I thought about buying used

But its still super expensive

[proper basin]

Yeah..

[narrow junco]

Maybe 4070 super will save me

I only play 1440p anyway

Or 5080 will surely be cheaper and better

I'm laughing my fucking ass off

[pure bear]

what is that facial expression

[proper basin]

bioware

[drifting rose]

bioware face is just a constant, innit

[unique bane]

this halfling city rocks

why more games dont have tree towns /./

[buoyant osprey]

Can't believe I waited years for this.

Though I never expected it to be great after how DA2, Inquisition and that Ass Effect game turned out.

[drifting rose]

I see bioware, I stop reading

[buoyant osprey]

They died when EA bought them. Very sad.

[maiden tulip]

They made mass effect 1-2-3 under EA

which are some of my fav of all time

So uh you're wrong

[buoyant osprey]

Ah. I thought EA acquired them during development of Origins. I know they made them develop and rush out DA2.

[drifting rose]

getting bought by EA is only the second worst thing that can happen to a company

[maiden tulip]

Also bioware was just not doing well financially when dragon age 2 was in production

[drifting rose]

under EA they can sometimes churn out a couple of good games till they get mismanaged to shit and closed down

[maiden tulip]

Without EA buying them we wouldn't have mass effect 1-2-3

They'd have went bankrupt

Before making the trilogy

Was andromeda mid? Yeah it was absolutely mid but then again no one wanted a side story it was difficult to make it like

Good from the start

It's not entirely bad i'll argue

[buoyant osprey]

Inquisition and DA2 were also very mid. (Actually Inquisition is bad, not mid). :/

[maiden tulip]

It's got some ideas here and there and the combat was good

The gitches were like the biggest problem with Andromeda

Hard to enjoy a game or feel immersed when facial expressions are glitching out

[nimble current]

surely this is one of the videogames

[maiden tulip]

I liked Inquisition

Personally

Never really understood the hate for it

It's different but in a good way imo

Like its not the best dragon age

But it's still a solid game

[buoyant osprey]

Few memorable good quests. The world design is very unfun. Combat is also very unfun and simplified from Origins. The war table phone game thing is awful. The quests (writing), personalities (writing), choices and consequences (writing) and gameplay of Origins are all very fun to me. None of the sequels even get halfway there imo.

Inquisition always felt like an offline MMO without the things I like about MMOs like good combat.

Making the main quest in Inquisition about yet another evil blight guy was also disappointing.

[pure bear]

idk maybe if you tell us what you are trying to do we can help

[lone raptor]

Mangohud is a great overlay to help you figure out the question "Should I upgrade my cpu/gpu ?"

Not sure about window users since mangohud works in linux

[fringe salmon]

use intels present mon if you want to look for that

[hardy merlin]

RivaTuner

[fringe salmon]

gpu busy and such is made to identify bottlebecks

[lone raptor]

Ah, will remember the name next time someone else asks that question and is a window user

[willow quiver]

not really, having things not use 100% of your cpu/gpu isn't really indicitive of a lot

helps, but isn't the sole datapoint

[lone raptor]

Yeah, I am trying learn how to figure out that part

[fringe salmon]

rivatuner and others derive from presentmon so https://github.com/GameTechDev/PresentMon look at this and the readme also shows links to other tools that visualize it

[lone raptor]

I mean like learn how to diagnose this

[willow quiver]

imo games not using 100% of your resources just means it's a poorly optimized engine

[fringe salmon]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5hAy5V91Hr4 and this is a good primer on how to read it

[lone raptor]

Ah, thanks for the link.

[fringe salmon]

hard to generalize because any showing of usage is somehwat flawed

[willow quiver]

yea

[lone raptor]

I sorta know about game engines since I coded one in my college but that's for 2D game

[lone raptor]

Yeah, I remember seeing one video where frametimes measure is flawed

[fringe salmon]

thats a different issue

I hope VACnet turns out to be as reliable as Valve want it to be

Could be the push to finally get rid of kernel level anticheat

[fringe salmon]

it wont

until microsoft changes how permissions work that wont be something we will get rid of

[fading spade]

It'll surely be reliable though
Warframe seems to have server side anticheat handled damn well
And if VACnet can do better than that, then that's great for everyone

[fringe salmon]

warframe has pvp?

Hi Guys

I want to pre-order Wooting 80HE.
I wonder if they could make American/Russian letters on the keys?

[barren pewter]

you can always buy an aftermarket set that does
wooting does not currently offer US/Russian Cyrillic

[bold charm]

I would like to use the original keys...

[barren pewter]

wooting does not currently offer US/russian cyrillic caps
and they're literally just pieces of plastic
they do not affect the keyboard function in any way

[bold charm]

could you tell me where exactly I can buy it?

I will be grateful

[barren pewter]

could you not ping me every time?
and no, I really couldn't
there's a bajillion different sites where you could buy, depending on where you live

you'd get good results just searching "MX keycap"

good thing that i never accept anything from strangers

[gusty oar]

is it ai? im bad at telling
i thought the fanart was cute
you know you’re pretty rude tak, the game is actually about having like 16 weapons on screen at once

it doesn’t look ai to me since all those weapons are quite specifically vampire hunters weapons

if this is a screen from in game then that fanart is accurate down to the guns and character used

[willow quiver]

hmmm wobbles

look at the belt buckle for example

it could be, im pretty bad at telling ai

i still think it’s cute

it usually just lacks artistic intent and filled in randomly to look somewhat coherent from a distance

[digital dawn]

all ai art comes from noise, so usually you’ll see an equal amount of light a dark

if you were to average out an ai generated image it’s value usually comes to around 50%

[pure bear]

thats a good way to tell :o

[digital dawn]

hence why ai art usually has weird highlights and shadows

[digital dawn]

have you played remix?

its so mid

I feel like the weapons do nothing

[outer pollen]

No I haven’t played in a while

[digital dawn]

and as a zero build player having a map that is almost entirely forest and empty space isnt very fun

[willow quiver]

tf is with all the brs rereleasing their first seasons?

[pure bear]

nostalgia bait, cheaper than new content

[proper basin]

Gotta get old players

[willow quiver]

apex is doing it, fn doing it and I think pubg is doing it too

[outer pollen]

People dislike and love FOMO

[digital dawn]

the problem is that it usually sucks lol

at least in the case of fn

I feel like everyone always complains when we go back to previous chapters

but its also probably because the previous chapters sucked

and people just remember the good times and equate that to the chapter being better

I had a New Zealand friend that loved it

I love tower defense games

Love webfishing

[cold anvil]

[outer pollen]

Cute

[warm orbit]

When did this get released

I swear that’s next week

[bleak pike]

Dev build or something

[trim rock]

First person when

[bleak pike]

Next season

[fading spade]

what does this mean?

[trim rock]

It means exactly that

[willow quiver]

you are adding too many pips than that weapons capacity to hold it

also that pink is garish how do you look at that

[trim rock]

You are buffing the mod so much that the heat sword you use the mod in won't be able to take it (it will be removed)

[fading spade]

ive gotten used to it xd

it looks way better on the Decks built in display

[willow quiver]

yea it's used in more than one place, the galatine might have capacity but your heat sword does not

[fading spade]

wait, so I have to remove it from my other melee for it to work on the melee I actually use?

[willow quiver]

also invest in your stance, you'll get more mod capacity

[fading spade]

stance?

[trim rock]

Yeah always fully juice up the stance mods, no reason not to (it's the mod in the top slot)

[willow quiver]

no, it's just that you need more capacity on your heat sword

[fading spade]

ah

[willow quiver]

highest most modslot on melees are your stance. changes your animations and provides more mod capacity

[trim rock]

Auras on warframes work the same way, so juice those up too since there's no downside

[fading spade]

I bought the electricity mods essential bundle, I dont see the mods anywhere :/

[willow quiver]

shocking touch is right there

use the search bar

type in the element and it shows the mods

you can even put the combined elements like corrosive and stuff

[fading spade]

the shocking touch is meant to have 90%, this one is 20%

[trim rock]

When you buy mods they show the fully juiced up versions

But you actually get the unjuiced mods (or unranked they call it, right)

[fading spade]

oh .-.

[willow quiver]

you gotta invest the endo yourself? 🗿

what a scam

[trim rock]

Yeah

[willow quiver]

I've never bought a mod pack before so didn't know that

actually I was playing before there were packs for sale

[trim rock]

sneaky bastards

[willow quiver]

It's always the asterisk that gets you

cuz im the one making the $$$$$

[barren pewter]

good to know

[buoyant osprey]

Just remembered that I pre-ordered this game (never played it) because there was a bug where if you used NOK it was massively discounted.

The ultra premium whatever edition pre-ordered for a mere 109 kr (around $11).

[still spire]

Oh I forgot to celebrate my Steamaversary.

Never had any doubt in my mind that Steam was the future

[fallow bronze]

Well I did

[still spire]

Second I used it, I knew discs were done, damaging your discs, losing your CD key

Games available on demand

And friend chat was awesome, when it worked. 😛

[fallow bronze]

Because when it launched it was sit. And who wanted to use a launcher to play a game?

[still spire]

It was incredibly cool and felt futuristic

People who say it was shit, I feel like all of them never used it and are just repeating what a vocal minority said

[buoyant osprey]

[maiden tulip]

Steam was shit

It just became good as time went on

It's still DRM tho and Valve ain't your friend

[fallow bronze]

It was slow, crashed often

[buoyant osprey]

I run my games by clicking on the desktop shortcuts

[still spire]

Worked on my Machine

[maiden tulip]

my steam account it 11 years old

woah

[still spire]

Just 11? You are baby.

[fallow bronze]

We should ship your machine to the client

[still spire]

Mine is twice that!

[maiden tulip]

I'm 27

im not you old yet

[still spire]

You weren't there to see people embrace Steam. The "Steam was shit at launch" Crowd is a meme. Like a conspiracy theory.

[maiden tulip]

i was like 15 when i got into pc gaming lol

[fallow bronze]

I was there

[maiden tulip]

damn nico's got me beaten

despite him being 24

[still spire]

Cougar

Anyways, only those with Antediluvian Steam accounts can say.

[maiden tulip]

well steam is still drm

[still spire]

ACKHTUALLY

It isn't. Steamworks DRM is DRM. Steam itself isn't.

[maiden tulip]

a few games dont have drm

[still spire]

THousands lol

Tens

[maiden tulip]

1,329 out of 41,650 games in total

[still spire]

TENS!

[maiden tulip]

no

you're wrong

[still spire]

Anyways, it's optional. Steam is not DRM. But you can use Steamworks DRM.

Which can be defeated by deleting the Steamworks .dll. 🔤

It's kind like...DRM, but not really

[maiden tulip]

i like nico's steam description

its literally how to make pasta

[solemn zealot]

Playing Diablo 4 with the Wooting is quite funny

[outer pollen]

Good

Cause I have like 160 physical switch games

[compact oriole]

actually?

[compact oriole]

i mean this was honestly kinda clear after we saw nintendo persecute the 2 switch emulator devs

[small comet]

so the same as their other platforms

1 generation of backwards compatbility

[compact oriole]

to me it seems like this is gonna be more of like a hardware refresh more than anything. still sticking to the same cartridges and games

kinda like they made 500 different DSes

[hardy merlin]

If it'll run TotK at 60fps then I'm happy

[narrow junco]

Going to buy a switch 2 just to be able to play xenoblade chronicles x at a good framerate after all these years

[hardy merlin]

I'll stay by emulators, thank you very much

[still spire]

Or play it on PC at 120fps

[narrow junco]

I should really mod my wiiu so i can dump the rom off my disk

[small comet]

then they wouldnt need to specify it though

i think the oled was already the refresh like the dslite/dsi was for the ds and the new 3ds/2ds was for the orig 3ds

[compact oriole]

well since we dont actually know, it is sensible information to share

we will find out soon enough

[hardy merlin]

Nintendo 3switch or Nintendo Switch U?

[compact oriole]

i kinda dont see em ever returning to not have a main console that is like the switch. as in stationary and mobile

[light lion]

Nintendo Switch Ultra

[compact oriole]

name idk

also it still will have to be affordable, so im not sure expecting to run these demanding titles at 60 fps consistently will happen just yet. certainly hope so tho

[light lion]

id hope they do better screen better processor

and controller update

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[vapid lintel]

I read this as TikTok and was very, very disappointed

[hardy merlin]

Make ZL/ZR on Joy-Cons analog?
And maybe use sticks that won't drift after a few weeks?

[light lion]

let's be honest

it's gonna be the same shit with better hardware

they don't have any weird patents tmk

[outer pollen]

More or less

[compact oriole]

daaamn thats crazy

and can resell em too if needed. nice

[scarlet marlin]

damn nice collection!

I have 2 switch games that are non EU versions so the text on the ridge is situated to the left (like in your pic kitten) and it looks so bad cause all the EU games have in centralized

my OCD

[compact oriole]

could print the other version and put it in instead

if the boxes allow for that. was able to do that back in the day on other consoles/dvds

[novel umbra]

they do

[scarlet marlin]

you think I have a printer

[novel umbra]

I hope you don't

[outer pollen]

Something about owning the little cartridge tickles my brain. I had to stop buying them cause I don’t even use my switch like that anymore

[scarlet marlin]

I dont

[scarlet marlin]

no keep growing your collection!

[outer pollen]

Nuuuu

[novel umbra]

knowing that nintendo can just outright block your cartridge is what would sour it for me

[compact oriole]

nah but you could go to a copyshop

[scarlet marlin]

too much effort

[outer pollen]

Hopefully it’s Astaweave

[light lion]

nice

[little cape]

didnt they shut down all the switch emulators

[proper basin]

Not if you already got em

[little cape]

damn so i missed out then

[fringe salmon]

There are tons of forks still out there

[hardy merlin]

Ryujinx is still being patched by a group of maintainers from original project
Yuzu is quite easy to find too

[proper basin]

I gotta get one to play some miku breath of the wild

[fringe salmon]

And since ryujinx didn’t even receive dmca as a takedown you can just host that and share links without it being legal grey areas

[fading spade]

Switch + Good framerate????

the only good framerate games on Switch are some first party nintendo ones

[fringe salmon]

switch 2

[fading spade]

hmm

any spec leaks?

[fringe salmon]

same as long ago but that doesnt matter

its going to be better frame rate regardless of the exact details

[still spire]

Slightly weaker than the Steam Deck based on leaks

[pure bear]

oh nintendo

but ig for their hw it would be decent-ish?

[fading spade]

They should add the water wraith to Mario kart

The Switch adaptation of the Wii version is too big

They nerfed the turns too

Especially the turns before the launcher

Rainbow Road Wii 150cc, that's where the fun begins

[hardy merlin]

But you are weird

But in a good way

[maiden tulip]

Yay

[hardy merlin]

I prefer PC and Dualsense, I don't really like Joy-Cons

[maiden tulip]

If i use a controller its always the xbox shape for me

I hate the ps4's controller lol

Switch pro controller is also nice, basically just an xbox controller with larger face buttons

[proper basin]

I hate the feel of joycons

Idk how they made the thumb sticks feel so bad

[digital dawn]

they’re just really tiny

[maiden tulip]

Never felt hand cramps from the lack of that

I know nico on the other hand can't use a switch without a grip

[digital dawn]

the hori split pad pro is better in every way in terms of ergonomics

[maiden tulip]

Meanwhile i find a grip uncomfortable

[digital dawn]

it’s not about hand cramps it’s just not comfortable

[maiden tulip]

They're a bit smaller than a standard controller but i think they feel good

[digital dawn]

I think you may just have tiny hands

[maiden tulip]

They're normal sized

me with xbox controller

[maiden tulip]

[outer pollen]

Even the steam deck was missing that extra girth to it that the Killswitch Case gives it imo

steam deck... missing girth???? Wtf are you on about lol

nickels are money, and I definitely don't want nickel back

EVERYONE SHOULD PLAY MASS EFFECT

[drifting rose]

you can skip the first one, it's boring

It is not it is beautiful

there’s so many better vandal skins and barely anyone cares about fist weapons

they messed up not doing a sniper because people would have bought a sniper due to lack of good options

Dude I think I can buy it

MH is on discount rn, im planning on buying my first MH game, which one is the most reccomended?

[hardy merlin]

I liked World more than Rise, Rise is more arcade-y
And if you're getting base game get also a DLC, with new mechanics and fixes it's practically a must-have

[narrow junco]

get world and the dlc iceborne with it

[wet saffron]

does the graphic hold up in today's standard?

[narrow junco]

better than rise

[hardy merlin]

Eh... kinda? World still looks really pretty
Rise was released on PC and Switch, so nothing much there

[narrow junco]

rise was switch game originally so set your expectations accordingly

[wet saffron]

noted

which dlc, this is so confusing

[pure bear]

first is basegame, second is dlc, third is base+dlc (recommend this one)

[hardy merlin]

Master Edition*
That's the game and DLC

[pure bear]

the rest is minor cosmwtic stuff

[hardy merlin]

Digital Deluxe is only Iceborne without base game

[pure bear]

yeah i just realized lol

MHW + IB is great

if you just want to check it out you can also just buy the basegame

But for mh fans the dlc endgame is always the real fun ^^

[wet saffron]

is it more exp if i decided to buy the dlc later on?

or the price will be the exact same?

also is it better on mkb or roller

[pure bear]

i think steam adjusts it and it is the same

[pure bear]

most players play controller. i'm a mnk diehard and i find it fine with mnk

[narrow junco]

kinda depends on the weapon and its also personal preference

[pure bear]

but controller is probably easier overall

[narrow junco]

price wise it should be the same except for the fact that you might miss the sale

[wet saffron]

is the dlc on discount also?

[narrow junco]

yes

[pure bear]

yea

[wet saffron]

im not sure which one to play with, dont have much exp playing with a roller other than 2k

[narrow junco]

try them both and see what you like more

[pure bear]

then just try it out. it shows buttons on screen at all times if you want to so its easy

[wet saffron]

im not sure if i wanna go all in on a game that im not even sure ill like

[pure bear]

totally fair

[wet saffron]

is the exp more enjoyable with coop or its totally fine going solo

[narrow junco]

i mean if you ask me its easily top 10 games of the last decade

for me both are fun in their own way

[pure bear]

both are fun

[narrow junco]

endgame you probably want a good team but for the beginning both are good

[pure bear]

i usually play with friends but solo is more immersive imo

[wet saffron]

is it very grindy like destiny 2 and warframe or less?

[narrow junco]

uh

kinda but not really?

you'll usually want to do the same fight a couple times to get the gear

[hardy merlin]

It's nowhere as grindy as Warframe

[narrow junco]

but not every time

there is a system that is super rng and grind driven but you can kind of ignore it

[hardy merlin]

At most you'd have to hunt 8 or so times for full set of armor

[pure bear]

deco system was also better than the others

[narrow junco]

(and also worst case you can always cheat its an offline game and all)

[pure bear]

also you can mod the game to hell and back

[wet saffron]

thank god

[wet saffron]

interesting indeed

[narrow junco]

speaking of warframe i should go spend my kuva and roll a riven

[wet saffron]

thats totally fine

how many ppl can i coop with at a time?

[narrow junco]

4

[pure bear]

well, 3+you to be exact :p

[narrow junco]

1-4 players but i'd recommend not doing 3 player if you can avoid it

[pure bear]

eh it wasnt so bad in mhw

[narrow junco]

cause thats when the game is the hardest

[pure bear]

we did day1 3 man alatreon ^^

[narrow junco]

idk man i watched my friends lose to raging brachy so often in a 3 man

that one of them cried

[pure bear]

:D

[narrow junco]

tbf they were also super undergeared

[pure bear]

[wet saffron]

why not 3 player specifically?

[pure bear]

the scaling is a bit strange for 3 man

[narrow junco]

yep

1-2 player you get helper npcs

[pure bear]

CATS

[narrow junco]

3 player you dont get them but the health scaling also goes to 4 player

[pure bear]

https://tenor.com/view/catto-gif-19997328

[hardy merlin]

Also co-op is a bit wonky due to the fact, that you have to start hunt, find a monster, see the cutscene and then you can party up for a hunt together

[wet saffron]

this is so confusing

can you just not join a world tgt?

[pure bear]

you can

[narrow junco]

story in coop is weird

[pure bear]

they are heaping details onto you

[narrow junco]

other hunts are fine

dont worry too much

[pure bear]

its not confusing when you get into it. they are giving you story progress mechanics details

better to go in and see if you like it ^^

[wet saffron]

i see

im just gonna buy the game and try

[narrow junco]

i recommend trying out every weapon or seeing what you think looks cool and giving those a try

[wet saffron]

so the most recommended is the iceborn master edition (third one) correct?

[wet saffron]

i def will do that

[pure bear]

that is the best and full experience, yes.

and the dlc is basically as big as the basegame

[wet saffron]

[narrow junco]

i also recommend not looking up too much cause a lot of the fun is seeing the cool monsters and seeing the cool weapons and armor you can make out of them

[wet saffron]

so i can experience the full game without needing to look at guides?
