There's a 5500XT, that could be a good investment

What's wrong with it?

proper wren Jul 6, 2020, 3:57 AM

is bad investment per dollar fps

fleet canopy Jul 6, 2020, 3:57 AM

#

Oh

proper wren Jul 6, 2020, 3:57 AM

#

the 1650 super beats it

#

like 3% difference between rx 580 and 5500xt but the 580 is $70 cheaper in CAD

#

If you decide to just spent that extra $70 then you might as well get a 1660 or 1660s

late sorrel Jul 6, 2020, 4:04 AM

#

yeha get a 570/580

#

8gb for both

gentle oar Jul 6, 2020, 4:11 AM

#

Thank you!

fleet canopy Jul 6, 2020, 4:14 AM

#

I wonder if it is worth it for their 8GB

#

But then again 3GB was a bitch when I had my 1060 3GB

late sorrel Jul 6, 2020, 4:19 AM

#

it’s always worth it for 8gb

#

it’s like 10 dollars more iirc

fleet canopy Jul 6, 2020, 4:20 AM

#

I've seen 580 4GB and 580 8GB variants, the prices are more like another 50$

#

But it's been a while. Perhaps AMD lowered the price gap

vapid crypt Jul 6, 2020, 4:20 AM

#

Eh more like 20 - 30

#

And if you're gonna get an 8gb 570, just get the 580

late sorrel Jul 6, 2020, 4:21 AM

#

it’s worth it

fleet canopy Jul 6, 2020, 4:22 AM

#

Oh it is a 20$ diff

#

Although the 8GB of one of the 8GB is like on a sale

#

Which the retail is 380$

Hi, Im a new member of the server and im highly considering buying gtfo, im here to ask a few questions. Would anyone know if a GTX 1060 6GB i7 2600 running at 3.6ghz and 8GB of DDR3 1333mhz ram would run GTFO. Im buying a new pc soon Im just really keen on this game and not sure if my system would run it.

merry bay Jul 6, 2020, 6:53 AM

#

These days pretty much all ~10yr old systems can run games. Whether it's enough fps for you is the important question. Some people are fine with 20fps, some aren't happy with 60.

#

Your machine seems plenty capable for 60fps. Maybe some dips on some rare occasions

glad hare Jul 6, 2020, 6:54 AM

#

thats all I want

#

60fps until I get my new pc in a couple months

merry bay Jul 6, 2020, 6:54 AM

#

And even if you run into troubles, you can always refund on steam if playtime is under 2 hours

glad hare Jul 6, 2020, 6:55 AM

#

yea defs

#

id just hold onto it anyway tho since im getting a new pc

fleet canopy Jul 6, 2020, 7:21 AM

#

But does it play minesweeper? 👀

bright shard Jul 6, 2020, 7:52 AM

#

@glad hare i was able to pull workable fps with i7 3770k, 660ti sc, 1600mhz ram.
I have since upgraded to 970.

#

NH-U14S, NH-U12S. or NH-L9i?

fleet canopy Jul 6, 2020, 5:18 PM

#

Whichever you want really

#

I don't think temps matter too much with the NH-U14s and the NH-U12S, but the l9i is one for smaller cases

river thistle Jul 6, 2020, 5:22 PM

#

I put the L91 in there cuz it looks nice and doesn't hang off your cpu thing

brisk badger Jul 6, 2020, 5:24 PM

#

it's really bad to pick hardware mainly because of cosmetics

#

unless you know what you are doing; the NH-L9i is not great for a 'normal' computer

river thistle Jul 6, 2020, 5:24 PM

#

I picked my all white stuff and fans for cosmetics and they're just fine :(

brisk badger Jul 6, 2020, 5:24 PM

#

well this is a cooler, not a fan

river thistle Jul 6, 2020, 5:25 PM

#

You think it's be better than an h100i?

#

Yeah I know...

brisk badger Jul 6, 2020, 5:25 PM

#

idk but I heavily doubt

#

the: NH-L9 works with processors up to 65w usage. Anything above will throttle your CPU or even shutdown if it's too hot

river thistle Jul 6, 2020, 5:26 PM

#

Oh

brisk badger Jul 6, 2020, 5:26 PM

#

if you have a modern i7 or equivalent; it'll throttle

river thistle Jul 6, 2020, 5:26 PM

#

We ain't getting that then lol

fleet canopy Jul 6, 2020, 5:26 PM

#

It's a small buddy

brisk badger Jul 6, 2020, 5:26 PM

#

check the TDP of your CPU

#

that can tell you about the thermal limits of the CPU

fleet canopy Jul 6, 2020, 5:27 PM

#

Doesn't seem like you're gonna get same performance like the NH-U12S or NH-D15 or whatever

river thistle Jul 6, 2020, 5:27 PM

#

I don't know weather I'm getting a 10700k or a zen 4 cpu yet

#

zen 3****

fleet canopy Jul 6, 2020, 5:27 PM

#

Don't get 10700K

#

Too expensive and dumb

river thistle Jul 6, 2020, 5:27 PM

fleet canopy Jul 6, 2020, 5:27 PM

#

Or overpriced

#

Bum overpriced as shit

river thistle Jul 6, 2020, 5:27 PM

#

little cheaper than 9900k

brisk badger Jul 6, 2020, 5:27 PM

#

sry it seems the cooler can handle 95w.... but I heavily suspect with massive throttling

fleet canopy Jul 6, 2020, 5:27 PM

#

You're better off getting a 3900X at that point

#

Or an XT

#

And as well as getting an NH-D15 or DRP4 or NH-U14s

#

Just not that small one, those are for SFF really

river thistle Jul 6, 2020, 5:28 PM

#

They aren't as good as 9900k and 10700k at just gaming so I was gonna wait for zen 3 possibly

#

Either way again I won't have money for a while so

#

I could change a bunch of stuff beofre then too. I could also decide I don't wanna pay this much and get some cheaper stuff

#

So uead

#

Yeah*

vapid crypt Jul 6, 2020, 5:59 PM

#

People keep saying that, but the reality is that its only noticeably better when playing at 1080p and using a high end graphics card like a 2080ti

#

If you're using say a 5700XT, 2060 Super, 2070 Super any of that level of performance, while playing at say 1440p There's pretty much no difference

#

And at 1080p its maybe 3% difference on average

#

Same goes for 2080ti at 1440p, might be a 3 - 5% difference

vapid crypt Jul 6, 2020, 9:23 PM

Maybe check the QVL list for your motherboard. Its a list of RAM modules that are confirmed tested to work with the motherboard. It isn't an end all requirement necessarily, but it does ensure compatibility and that the RAM performs well.

You can find the list on your motherboard manufacturer's website, find the page for your specific motherboard

might want to read product reviews for the ram to see if anyone else had to solve the problem, the most common thing is xmp setting in bios

it is performing probably worse than a Geforce RTX 660 (minimal requirements) but can still be playable if you dont mind low FPS

you can always buy a game on steam and play it for 2hours and refund it

Any idea what is the max acceptable temps for a I7 8th generation? I have an Asus Rog and on most games I have 90-95 max temps on my cpu. Can't really cool it better even with a cooling pad.

maybe someone who knows more about overclocking can tell you about undervolting

mystic orbit Jul 7, 2020, 4:38 PM

Even tried undervolting, still no significant change

Only setting max cpu power to 99% makes it better

lilac geyser Jul 7, 2020, 4:41 PM

i hope intel will start killing clock speed before any real damage can occur

#

most people seem to get a little worried about temps above 90 though

brisk badger Jul 7, 2020, 4:44 PM

#

modern cpu's like yours will shut themselves of when they run too hot. I don't think your CPU will take damage from this, it surely is not great. More problematic though can be the hardware that is located around which also gets barbeque'd by the CPU. But don't worry too much. Trust the engineers of whoever made the notebook. If it's not HP then you should be fine 🙃

abstract kite Jul 7, 2020, 4:47 PM

#

The engineers for the 5700XT tell us that the GPU is "expected" to reach 110c and be fine.

brisk badger Jul 7, 2020, 4:47 PM

#

new paste / termal pads are great but require time and research. You have to open the notebook which can be difficult for some models.
Something notebook cooler with many fans can also help reduce temp a bit, or the good old book (I prefer word dictionaries) to give the notebook some air, helps greatly

#

lol galerus. yea... they are crazy

#

if you still have warranty and dont want to fix it; send it back

complain about the cooler and it's bad performance

hmm, maybe. I don't think so though as there is a co-processor doing this stuff but I am not sure. Could be a driver issue. Doesn't hurt to dig deeper what may use the gpu

odd though. When I have Wattman open, my GPU consumption is automatically 3-6%

we have a 2gig internet service available at my location

they want $3000 it install it and $200 a month

still liimited to 1tb/month

#

im not going to even do the math of how quickly i could hit that limit at that speed

#

they are such assholes, want to turn internet billing into a utility like water or electricity

#

electricity and water do have a fixed cost per unit to produce those things

#

whereas internet is built out as capability in speed per second

#

not in total bytes

#

charging per byte just enables them to oversell their capability

I watch streams like TV in the past. Good background noise and interesting whenever there's a dull moment.
2 streams on for as long as I'm around. 1.3-2.2 MB/s
End of the month I hover between 3-4.5 TB system data usage.

#

It's excessive for sure, but I was surprised how much such use amounts to

windows has a basic counter for system data usage if people are curious.

Well that's kind of ridiculous that a game wouldn't run just because of a storage unless it's old/slowing down/dying

#

Or drive is literally full

void perch Jul 8, 2020, 12:51 AM

#

A drive performance comes into play when loading things like initially loading a game. After that it's RAM for storing in memory, CPU and GPU for processing data and graphics

fleet canopy Jul 8, 2020, 12:52 AM

#

Yeah but an HDD should not make it not run

vapid crypt Jul 8, 2020, 12:53 AM

A failing hard drive or something shouldn't effect the game's performance outside of loading it

Like, my old RX580 would constantly have stuttering or black screen issues

#

It was always a simple fix, go in to software and disable X Y or Z feature

#

But it always raised the question of why do i bother

vapid crypt Jul 8, 2020, 5:45 AM

#

So I've had issues like that before with older drivers, the most recent problem I had was with Nioh crashing the drivers; but that was a game specific driver issue. Other than that I haven't had any problems with the drivers

restive garnet Jul 8, 2020, 5:46 AM

#

For nvidia, cant say ive ever had an issue with the drivers, except for that weird csgo one a few months ago, and playing games from nearly 20 odd years ago

Also, tbf, the csgo one was because of something volvo did

@flat pilot are you sure you don't want to learn on how to make your own PC? Or buy a PC? Notebooks are... not great for gaming. And gaming notebooks cost way more than a PC that is 1.5x to 2x faster and less noisy

You can also purchase a prebuilt, NZXT uses off the shelf parts so all their prebuilts would be something any builder would put together

They always got something fucky, like PSU is bad, cabling is absolutely horrendous, or some whatever the fuck they get away with

Hmm. Dunno. I would still say its just the increased room temps

abstract kite Jul 8, 2020, 3:13 PM

Fair enough.

#

Let me ask. My GPU manufacturer says that it can reach up to 110c before Thermal Throttling occurs saying that the Silicon can handle the immense heat, but can the rest of the PC handle the GPU kicking off that kind of heat?

restive garnet Jul 8, 2020, 4:26 PM

#

technically, you could set your bios to not throttle till 1000 degrees if you wanted to, guarantee it will shut itself down well before that tho

#

and thats not even taking in to account for temperature induced degradation

#

as far as the rest of your computer goes, it really depends on how much airflow you have in your build i suppose. but probably not an issue overall.

#

also, obligatory post about getting my tax return, and its the perfect excuse to get a 3080ti on launch

TJMax is usually safe stuff. Are you certain your fans are running properly?

vapid crypt Jul 8, 2020, 5:19 PM

Its a reference model 5700XT isn't it? The heat is being shot out the rear, not into the rest of the system.

That's the only perk of those shroud blower coolers, the heat is kept away from the rest of the system. Though largely irrelevant when using a properly ventilated case with a good axial cooler card

The only downside to this method is that Corsair treats the strips as one of theirs which has 10 LEDs.

For the moment, id be proud of it

torn ferry Jul 8, 2020, 6:28 PM

You can tell Corsair that there are more strips to get more LEDs.

#

But you can only have 60 LEDs per channel.

stiff tartan Jul 8, 2020, 6:28 PM

#

I mean its enough i think

torn ferry Jul 8, 2020, 6:28 PM

#

So I have to have two 28 LED strips per channel to be under 60.

The other option is to buy the 4 pin adapter and tell Corsair that it is RGB fans,

But some animations will display out of order.

fleet canopy Jul 8, 2020, 8:20 PM

#

It's pretty cheap if you're gonna do 1080p

restive garnet Jul 8, 2020, 8:21 PM

#

That samsung odyssey G9 looks really dope

vapid crypt Jul 8, 2020, 8:21 PM

#

Yeah I got a couple of 1080p IPS panels for around $100

fleet canopy Jul 8, 2020, 8:21 PM

#

Still need a 1440p 144hz or a 1080p 144-180-240Hz I guess

restive garnet Jul 8, 2020, 8:21 PM

#

But id wager it wont be on the close side of 6 grand

fleet canopy Jul 8, 2020, 8:21 PM

#

You could always check out the G7

#

I think that was the 1440p 240Hz one

restive garnet Jul 8, 2020, 8:22 PM

#

G7 is pretty good, but thats still expensive af anyway

vapid crypt Jul 8, 2020, 8:22 PM

#

288Hz when PirateSimon

fleet canopy Jul 8, 2020, 8:22 PM

#

Oh yeah and the curve was fucking wack lmfao

#

Yeah it was the G7

restive garnet Jul 8, 2020, 8:24 PM

#

Apparently the G9 is up for pre order on the korean samsung site for like 1700USD

#

Not nearly as bad as i thought

fleet canopy Jul 8, 2020, 8:24 PM

#

lel

#

Still quite a lot

restive garnet Jul 8, 2020, 8:24 PM

#

Still be about 3-3.5k over here

#

1100usd 2080ti = 2500nzd apparently

jade ermine Jul 8, 2020, 8:25 PM

#

3440x1440 144hz
dlss 2.0 will be god sent

restive garnet Jul 8, 2020, 8:25 PM

#

Despite exchange rate only being a touch over 1600

#

900 bucks in taxes, import fees and mark ups

#

Hell, i wouldnt be surprised if that g9 ends up being about 4 grand here

jade ermine Jul 8, 2020, 8:27 PM

#

Oh hey, G9 is 1500 euros here

#

Basically it's free at that point

restive garnet Jul 8, 2020, 8:29 PM

#

Oh shit

#

My local comp shop has a listing for it

#

2900 nzd

#

Actually surprisingly well priced

abstract kite Jul 8, 2020, 9:20 PM

#

The 2080 is $1,100?

fleet canopy Jul 8, 2020, 9:22 PM

#

Ti

#

Although if you look for a white 2080 Super, it is 1000$

restive garnet Jul 8, 2020, 9:37 PM

#

The strix 2080ti afaik is an 1100 msrp

vapid crypt Jul 8, 2020, 9:37 PM

#

I wouldn't even count that

restive garnet Jul 8, 2020, 9:38 PM

#

Same model here is 2500

fleet canopy Jul 8, 2020, 9:40 PM

#

yes

📎 mw26th5x7m951.png

vapid crypt Jul 8, 2020, 9:40 PM

#

Wow phaWesker

restive garnet Jul 8, 2020, 9:41 PM

#

Lmao

vapid crypt Jul 8, 2020, 9:41 PM

#

I have to uh interject though, cause it would be 5700XT not 5700 XT

fleet canopy Jul 8, 2020, 9:41 PM

#

Getting me a 5700XT and 5700XT

#

Yeah

#

But it'd still make sense nonetheless tbh

vapid crypt Jul 8, 2020, 9:41 PM

#

I don't think they'll be doing too many XT refreshes for the CPUs though

fleet canopy Jul 8, 2020, 9:41 PM

#

Yeah

restive garnet Jul 8, 2020, 9:42 PM

#

I mean, aside from the obvious, that would almost be enough to sway me away from team green

fleet canopy Jul 8, 2020, 9:42 PM

#

I think it's only just to gain a boost against Intel

vapid crypt Jul 8, 2020, 9:42 PM

#

Having the CPUs and GPUs with the same name? phaWesker

restive garnet Jul 8, 2020, 9:42 PM

#

Nah, having a full blown ryzen based card

fleet canopy Jul 8, 2020, 9:42 PM

#

lel

vapid crypt Jul 8, 2020, 9:43 PM

#

Like if they used the Ryzen brand instead?

#

That would be rather confusing

fleet canopy Jul 8, 2020, 9:43 PM

#

Honestly it might not even get to be called the Ryzen 5000 series

#

They might switch it up tbf

restive garnet Jul 8, 2020, 9:44 PM

#

Nah, if they just straight up used a 3700 in place of the gpu

#

Or a 3950x lul

#

16 core gpu lmaooo

vapid crypt Jul 8, 2020, 9:44 PM

#

That's pretty weak tbh PirateSimon

restive garnet Jul 8, 2020, 9:45 PM

#

True

#

Different types of cores tho

fleet canopy Jul 8, 2020, 9:45 PM

#

160 core GPU 👀

#

Unless that's only moderately okay

restive garnet Jul 8, 2020, 9:45 PM

#

Would definitely perform worse in the graphics department

vapid crypt Jul 8, 2020, 9:46 PM

#

If a compute unit = a core

restive garnet Jul 8, 2020, 9:46 PM

#

But it would be good to see them applying their ryzen success to their gpus

#

Whether literal or metaphorical

proper wren Jul 8, 2020, 9:47 PM

#

Getting 5700xt would be a bottleneck for your 5700xt

vapid crypt Jul 8, 2020, 9:47 PM

#

They started with 5000 as a nod to their 50th anniversary

#

Though personally it reminds me of one of their most prolific GPU lines which was the HD 5000 series

#

Where they were unmatched for a good 6 months

restive garnet Jul 8, 2020, 9:48 PM

#

I personally loved the hd 7000 series

#

They had some seriously solid budget options

vapid crypt Jul 8, 2020, 9:48 PM

#

Those aged really well

#

Since they continued to refine GCN

restive garnet Jul 8, 2020, 9:49 PM

#

Every so often i come across some mad lad with a 7770 or 7970

#

Like damn son

#

Throw back to the days when a 300 dollar graphics card was considered near top of the line

vapid crypt Jul 8, 2020, 9:51 PM

#

More like 399 I think, but yeah its a shame that its 4x that now

restive garnet Jul 8, 2020, 9:52 PM

#

Last time i bought a 7770 they were like 350 nzd

#

That would have been nearly 10 years ago tho

#

About 7 at a rough guess

#

Yeah, 7 years ago

vapid crypt Jul 8, 2020, 9:54 PM

#

So that was a $160 card in the US at launch

restive garnet Jul 8, 2020, 9:54 PM

#

Coz it was right at the launch of the 8000 cards

vapid crypt Jul 8, 2020, 9:54 PM

#

R5 R7 R9 2xx cards

#

Yeah their naming got kind of weird after that

#

I don't know why they didn't just go to 8000

restive garnet Jul 8, 2020, 9:55 PM

#

It was a weird time trying to understand their nonmenclature

#

I basically gave up till about the 400 series

vapid crypt Jul 8, 2020, 9:56 PM

#

They dropped the weird number thing by then and just settled on RX

restive garnet Jul 8, 2020, 9:56 PM

#

Exactly why i picked it up then lul

#

Idk why, but i just couldnt wrap my head around the random prefixes

vapid crypt Jul 8, 2020, 9:58 PM

#

Its supposed to be a tier thing I guess

restive garnet Jul 8, 2020, 9:59 PM

#

Yeah, it makes sense now

#

But at the time it didnt make any sense to me

vapid crypt Jul 8, 2020, 9:59 PM

#

Like everything below R9 was like rudimentary graphics

restive garnet Jul 8, 2020, 10:00 PM

#

I couldnt understand why they needed to denote tiers beyond the model number

#

Aside from things like the 295

vapid crypt Jul 8, 2020, 10:01 PM

#

They added X2 to that right?

restive garnet Jul 8, 2020, 10:01 PM

#

Honestly, cant remember for the life of me

vapid crypt Jul 8, 2020, 10:01 PM

#

Yeah I just found it

#

295X2

#

To denote it being a dual gpu card

restive garnet Jul 8, 2020, 10:01 PM

#

At the time i had a mate who was building a 290 based comp

#

Bought everything but forgot power supply

#

So he picked up the cheapest one he could get

#

And you can probably guess what happened next

fleet canopy Jul 8, 2020, 10:02 PM

#

GWjianWut

#

How was he that dumb?

vapid crypt Jul 8, 2020, 10:02 PM

#

F

restive garnet Jul 8, 2020, 10:03 PM

#

It was his first time building a comp

fleet canopy Jul 8, 2020, 10:03 PM

#

Well

restive garnet Jul 8, 2020, 10:03 PM

#

And he didnt have any guidance

fleet canopy Jul 8, 2020, 10:03 PM

#

That's fair

balmy knoll Jul 8, 2020, 10:03 PM

#

are the required specs on the store page accurate?

restive garnet Jul 8, 2020, 10:03 PM

#

Probably not

vapid crypt Jul 8, 2020, 10:03 PM

#

The recommended specs for GTFO?

restive garnet Jul 8, 2020, 10:03 PM

#

You can probably go lower

vapid crypt Jul 8, 2020, 10:04 PM

#

I mean sure it all depends, but they did develop the game using those specs

restive garnet Jul 8, 2020, 10:04 PM

#

If we are strictly talking can it run

vapid crypt Jul 8, 2020, 10:04 PM

#

So for optimal performance that's a sure thing

restive garnet Jul 8, 2020, 10:04 PM

#

In terms of an enjoyable experience, i cant say

balmy knoll Jul 8, 2020, 10:04 PM

#

the game looked pretty heavy on effects and I thought it would be higher

fleet canopy Jul 8, 2020, 10:04 PM

#

The specs iirc are just as runnable, not guaranteed 60

#

Recommend is 1080p 60Hz

vapid crypt Jul 8, 2020, 10:05 PM

#

They've been developing the game since 2015 on mid range pcs from that era

balmy knoll Jul 8, 2020, 10:05 PM

#

I think my 1050 will manage

#

ty

restive garnet Jul 8, 2020, 10:05 PM

#

Id wager i could get it running on my old laptop

vapid crypt Jul 8, 2020, 10:05 PM

#

Just gotta turn down textures and yeah good to go

restive garnet Jul 8, 2020, 10:05 PM

#

I3 3217U with 4 gigs ram and no gpu

vapid crypt Jul 8, 2020, 10:05 PM

#

1050 would more so be slightly faster than the min spec card

restive garnet Jul 8, 2020, 10:05 PM

#

Doubt itd be fun to play tho

#

10 fps tops

#

Used to play bf3 at 19 fps lmao

balmy knoll Jul 8, 2020, 10:07 PM

#

didn't your head hurt lol?

fleet canopy Jul 8, 2020, 10:07 PM

#

Payday 2 on 10FPS 👀

balmy knoll Jul 8, 2020, 10:07 PM

#

feels

#

same lol

restive garnet Jul 8, 2020, 10:07 PM

#

Been there, done that

fleet canopy Jul 8, 2020, 10:07 PM

#

Nah, it didn't hurt if you didn't have 60FPS before

#

I could be wrong

vapid crypt Jul 8, 2020, 10:07 PM

#

10fps Payday 2 is actually pretty common even on a good pc

balmy knoll Jul 8, 2020, 10:07 PM

#

what infamy?

fleet canopy Jul 8, 2020, 10:07 PM

#

That was with a dell shitpc from like

#

2013

vapid crypt Jul 8, 2020, 10:07 PM

#

Go to the Big Bank, and watch the framerate tank

fleet canopy Jul 8, 2020, 10:08 PM

#

lol

#

Big bank FPS didn't really tank for me

balmy knoll Jul 8, 2020, 10:08 PM

#

you didn't play brooklyn bank

#

the fog

restive garnet Jul 8, 2020, 10:08 PM

#

Ive been to 25-100 and back more times than i can count

vapid crypt Jul 8, 2020, 10:08 PM

#

Yeah I played all the maps, apart from the latest ones that came out last week

fleet canopy Jul 8, 2020, 10:08 PM

#

I got to about

restive garnet Jul 8, 2020, 10:08 PM

#

Ngl, it lost meaning by infamy 13

fleet canopy Jul 8, 2020, 10:08 PM

#

Infamy 5 legit before Crime Spree was a thing

balmy knoll Jul 8, 2020, 10:08 PM

#

I didn't play the mexican dlcs

vapid crypt Jul 8, 2020, 10:08 PM

#

Oh I forgot to buy the new DLC actually

balmy knoll Jul 8, 2020, 10:09 PM

#

are they any good?

vapid crypt Jul 8, 2020, 10:09 PM

#

Uh not really

fleet canopy Jul 8, 2020, 10:09 PM

#

I had like 600-800 hours but I resetted my character cause I was bored as fuck and wanted to go new again

#

Did it about 3 times lul

balmy knoll Jul 8, 2020, 10:09 PM

#

I actually played the first one and it seemed like an asset flip

restive garnet Jul 8, 2020, 10:09 PM

#

Some of the youtubers i watch reckon its a pretty lacklustre map

vapid crypt Jul 8, 2020, 10:09 PM

#

Its not much better than what some modder could throw together

restive garnet Jul 8, 2020, 10:09 PM

#

Filled with meaningless objectives

vapid crypt Jul 8, 2020, 10:10 PM

#

Maybe be new DLC is better, but I'm not gonna shell out money for crap like that anymore

fleet canopy Jul 8, 2020, 10:10 PM

#

That's just Overkill running out of good ideas

restive garnet Jul 8, 2020, 10:10 PM

#

Go here, find this, go there, defend that, rinse and repeat

balmy knoll Jul 8, 2020, 10:10 PM

#

Its not much better than what some modder could throw together
@vapid crypt waaay worse than what modders did

vapid crypt Jul 8, 2020, 10:10 PM

Put snipers everywhere to make it harder

#

PirateSimon

fleet canopy Jul 8, 2020, 10:10 PM

The peak Payday 2 time was 2014-2016

restive garnet Jul 8, 2020, 10:10 PM

#

That was their design ethos around meltdown

#

Snipers

fleet canopy Jul 8, 2020, 10:10 PM

#

After that it kind of started to go a bit downhill over time

restive garnet Jul 8, 2020, 10:11 PM

#

Snipers everywhere

balmy knoll Jul 8, 2020, 10:11 PM

#

does anyone play meltdown?

#

or rather does anyone enjoy meltdown?

restive garnet Jul 8, 2020, 10:11 PM

#

Me on occasion

#

I enjoyed shadow raid

fleet canopy Jul 8, 2020, 10:11 PM

#

I remember when you could finish safehouse Nightmare on the hardest difficulty ezpz

#

Just look down :)

vapid crypt Jul 8, 2020, 10:11 PM

#

Oh meltdown

restive garnet Jul 8, 2020, 10:11 PM

#

And the map is still fun, even if the mission is shit

vapid crypt Jul 8, 2020, 10:11 PM

#

Yeah I like meltdown

#

But fuck the driving

balmy knoll Jul 8, 2020, 10:11 PM

#

meh, I lost the interest to play on the highest difficulties

fleet canopy Jul 8, 2020, 10:11 PM

If I can't see em, they can't see me!

vapid crypt Jul 8, 2020, 10:11 PM

I think its funny that you can take the forklifts all the way to the train

restive garnet Jul 8, 2020, 10:12 PM

Going full ironman with thanatos and lmgs

I used to kick anyone using the angry baby mask

fleet canopy Jul 8, 2020, 10:12 PM

#

Ugh thanatos was so fucking overused lmfao

#

Why was that?

balmy knoll Jul 8, 2020, 10:13 PM
