ill get it when i finish ff7r. want to finish first dragons dogma, but takes too long and dont seem to be connected(?).
so ill just start 2.
only been playing ff7r during weekends sadly
neon scroll
I'll just play the new one and watch the included "The story so far" to see whatever I didn't get to in the previous remake. I'm on vacation for 2 weeks starting next Friday, so I might just do it then if I find thd patience to sit down for 200hrs then 
placid otter
oh u never finished remake? rip
minor bolt
I’m up to chapter 12 so I’ll probably finish it this weekend
Just doing a lot of the open world stuff cause it definitely feels like I’m under levelled

placid otter
am only in chapter 3 still
neon scroll
oh u never finished remake? rip
Basically I got it, played a bit, then I was busy, then the PS5 version with more content came out and I was like "meh. I'll get a PS5 at some point, surely." and then.... well, I didn't get one for a long time cause it was nigh impossible to find one. And then when I finally did get one it was for FInal Fantasy 16 instead.
But it's not like I don't know what happens in FF7. I just don't know all the new story beats of the later parts of the remake
placid otter
neon scroll
Look man, it's really hard to find the time to casually play 100+ hrs games
placid otter
only if u do more than the story
neon scroll
I'm the kind of person who did every. single. sidequest. in FF14
If I play it I play all of it
Which in part is probably why I have a lot of unfinished games, lmao
neon scroll
I platinumed ff7r in like 50 hours
But was it the bonus content version
minor bolt
Excluding intermission
That content is only two chapters that you can finish in a couple hours

Clearly you lack the proper grindset
placid otter
now now been playing for 12h today.
had to catchup for not playing during weekdays
i do got to say. i hate anything movement related in this game. walking, running, springting, mounting, riding literally all of it
also dont like any of the side stuff besides queens blood.
esp chadley. he is so annoying and immersion breaking.
glass knot
lmao
chadley be like "hey cloud i noticed you haven't been doing the world sidequests :)"
placid otter
his conversations are so frequent, long and disturb gameplay. literally to scan a rock u first take out the machine, u scan, u put away machine, chadley calls, u take out the same machine againg than are there stuck forever while he speaks. being allowed to move your character againg after putting it away takes forever aswel
jovial wolf
you're just jealous he got himself a girlfriend
placid otter
glass knot
i think you can just hold triangle and it skips his dialogue or something like that
hes still very annoying tho
placid otter
dont think that works. cant skip cutscenes during fights either sadly. dying than gotta rewatch certain cutscenes cuz cant skip 
glass knot
idt you can skip cutscenes but you can fast forward through some dialogues 100%
placid otter
u can spam circle for dialogue though
glass knot
placid otter
yeah, that is just spamming circle
some dialogues in the game even when u skip the subs, they still continue the dialogue by voice etc, cuz it is in a way a mini cutscene or whatever
glass knot
chadley loves talking a whole lot too

placid otter
finished the whole 2nd region and got to the end of chapter 8 for today. am 24h~ in
minor bolt
you 100% the whole region?
ive only done that for grasslands so far and got the summon for it
im not sure how postgame is meant to work though, you dont just get thrown into the open world, you have to pick a chapter that has full access
placid otter
oh thats kinda weird
but yeah, i did all the orange objectives, sidequests and the queens blood stuff.
only didnt do hard mode in that 1 thing ||fort condor||
did the same for grasslands.
all i wanted was to lvl, but i was like. i did 20% of the zone, might aswel do the rest and just couldnt pull away lol
minor bolt
open world stuff isnt that good for leveling
i cleared grasslands and only got like 2000 xp for it
placid otter
huh im pretty sure the final combat challenge in junon gave me 9k
but i do agree. think i only went from 28 to high 29 during the entire region
story gives way more by far
esp in regards to party lvl it is very noticeable
minor bolt
probably cause i was around level 40 when i did it
and grasslands was all 17-22 or so

Rendering 45% faster than PS5
2-3x Ray-tracing (x4 in some cases)
this is gonna be like $800 for sure
slate thorn
Who knows
Tech has gotten decently faster
With how fast stuff develops the ps5 is already ancient :^)
And considering consoles are sold at a loss
slate thorn
I mean
If it's going to be less than that it would barely be a worthwhile upgrade over a normal ps5
slate thorn
Aren't they 3060 performance?
minor bolt
dont think so
30 series was already a decent jump over 20 series
let alone amd's RT being way worse than nvidia
slate thorn
Ah, ps5 is apparently similar to a 2070 Super
So basically a 3060
Not looking at rt since amd yeah
minor bolt
sony definitely going for rockstars marketing budget for gta
slate thorn
But yeah, going from 3060 to 3090 sounds like a logical performance jump for a pro model after 4-5 years, especially with it being aimed at 4k gaming
But yeah, quick search shows the ps5 as $399 in the us that I can find, so I guess the pro will probably release at like $599 or something like that
minor bolt
400 digital 500 disc yeah
$100-200 bump would put it in line with how the ps4 pro was priced iirc
slate thorn
apparently the 33.5 tflop number is in line with a 3090
Also in line with the 7800XT
So it's probably going to be similar to that would be my guess
fleet wave
would be pretty crazy for only 599
slate thorn
I mean, considering the ps5 is basically a 3060 system for 399 is pretty insane thinking about it
So 7800XT system for $599 at the end of 2025 doesn't sound that crazy
Keeping in mind that they are sold at a loss ofc
Hope there's going to be a good deal on the ps5 this year's bf

Oh same. The 2nd run was referring to me being on just my 2nd run overall.
RNG has not been as kind afterwards
RNG last run be like "Oh, you want a royal flush?" When allI needed were full houses on final stage
fallow vessel
sometimes playing a good hand can be bad in a long run
for example if you play a 5 of a kind it starts showing up the planet for the upgrade for it which might not be good for your planned build
unless you switch into a 5 of a kind build i guess

The issue with battle passes isn't whether they're hard to complete
It's pointless grindy busywork that you for some reason pay to do
minor bolt
in ow's case its not really grindy busywork. sure you can play specific roles to complete challenges to get it done faster, but for the most part you just play like you normally would
you can optimise it by playing all roles so you hit the dailies and weeklies for each role but even just sticking to one is quick, ive only played support this season, missing out on all the xp for dps and tank challenges
still kinda funny/depressing that aaron keller's entire tenure as lead has basically been trial and erroring what jeff kaplan settled on 8 years ago
glass knot
I appreciate that they're being much more open with communicating what they're doing now tho and it's a pretty nice shift
And actually listening to feedback and addressing stuff
I don't even play OW anymore but i check what's going on and get an urge to play it sometimes

This dude picked the worst way to tell this story
Here's hope "new direction" isn't code for "shitty live service" but something actually good
glass knot
All mmos are live service by definition no
unless they just release an mmo and never update it
I can't see them actually moving into subscriptions so I'm assuming it'll also be a free to play game where you buy cosmetics and stuff
As Riot always does
We'll know in 10 years 
neon scroll
All mmos are live service by definition no
Technically yes, practically live service is used to describe a whole different genre of always online games
No one says live service and means WOW
glass knot
I guess that makes sense
MMOs are like that by design so no one really calls them that
As it became a term mostly when other games started increasing their life cycle using expansions and updates like they're an mmo
Riot is generally pretty good with their games so I'm not really worried about it being a bad game, or having too much microtransactions
dusty imp
the major difference is the life cycle of the updates
fortnite seasons are three months, genshin is six weeks
iirc wow would only have big stuff a couple times a year
glass knot
true
neon scroll
The general difference is that (good) MMOs generally have way more shit to do
Also MMOs focus way more on the multiplayer aspect, even if you can fly solo as well.

I was like on ante 4 doubling the score and oopsieeeeeeee
It's fine cause the other one was funnier
Cause i got retrigger all face cards + all cards are considered face cards
- 4 mult for every face card scored
Lmfao

looks like people are committing genocides in cities in dragons dogma to increase performance
neon scroll
Cause i got retrigger all face cards + all cards are considered face cards
I had that twice as well, but it only gets really silly once you manage to copy or duplicate the "repeat all face cards" card
So each face card gets triggered 3 times and if you have them improved it gets really, really silly
glass knot
It worked well enough to get to ante 10 (or 11 idk) but yeah, it's only good up to a certain point
I had those + Fibonacci Joker + Joker that adds mult whenever you add a card to your deck

Making fast travel in a solo player game a micro transaction
Definitely one of the decisions of all time
Lmao
Well, there goes that game, cause fuck all of that
glass knot
no one really buys those tbh it's like being able to buy blue and red orbs on dmc5
neon scroll
"No one uses it" is not a valid counter argument to shitty business practices
glass knot
to me the big issue with microtranscations is when it impacts the game negatively or forces the player to buy it to progress
scarlet cape
it's literally for people too lazy to play the game
glass knot
portcrystals are common on the game so no one buys them
scarlet cape
free money for capcom from idiots too stupid to play the game they bought
not really a problem in my books
neon scroll
They also locked elements of character customization behind micro transactions (no, not skins.)
jovial wolf
they did not
neon scroll
Just reading through this list is just so bad
scarlet cape
do you mean re-customization?
jovial wolf
people are spreading straight up lies about it
glass knot
capcom sucks so much at microtransactions lmao
scarlet cape
yeah they're shitty about it
neon scroll
do you mean re-customization?
Ye
scarlet cape
but they're mostly ignorable
mobile-tier speedups rather than actual content you're missing out on
jovial wolf
you can get the re-customization item in game
glass knot
thats incredibly funny cause they only put up microtransacions no one would buy
if theyre actually playing the game
same thing with the re4 and dmc5 ones
its always some dumb thing you'll get easily by playing the game
scarlet cape
it's a weird thing to hone in on when there's genuine issues with the pc version
neon scroll
same thing with the re4 and dmc5 ones
This feels more egregious than the RE ones tbh
scarlet cape
just moan about that instead 
neon scroll
I haven't seen digital foundry review of the game yet, so I'm waiting on that front
glass knot
i mean re4 literally had mtx for coupons that let you max your weapon
but again that's an idiotic dlc cause you can just do that by playing the game normally
cause they dont even make maxxing your weapons a grind or anything

scarlet cape
i wonder if people would be any less mad if they found out they have to play the game to fast travel regardless
it's like half the reason the first one was considered a cult classic
glass knot
Instead they try to sell fast travel, both not making money *and* making people...
i have no idea what they have in mind
ik a bunch of the outrage is from people who didn't play the game

first playthrough is slow af

to realize its not even a thing you'll ever consider buying
but its still stupid
idk who is it for
probably some very specific kind of busy dad that wants to play the game but cant play it that much or something
scarlet cape
i haven't actually looked into it but i'm assuming the mtx is for portcrystals right
neon scroll
Honestly though, the people prone to maybe buying it are the ones who work and don't have the time to put X hrs into the game for it, so even the "pay for convenience" aspect is kinda fucked. This should just be a toggable option for those people or something

which you still have to go and place manually

i do get thinking it's bullshit because it is
its almost more offensive because of how silly it is
scarlet cape
yeah they're ridiculous
jovial wolf
i feel like they got told they have to include some mtx and they just went with the path of least effort
glass knot
its what it feels like for most these capcom mtx yeah
scarlet cape
but things designed for people with more money than sense are bound to be ridiculous
glass knot
Yeah the game would be exactly the same without these so idk why even do it
Specially as it's always on their single player games
Anyways hopefully they can properly optimize the engine's use of cpu for the AI on npcs for when MH wilds comes out lol
If it's anything like worlds the amount of shit that can happen will scale very quickly
scarlet cape
dd2 still looks like an amazing game when performance isn't an issue, the mtx stuff will be forgotten about in no time
i'm worried about mh wilds because of new mechanics
glass knot
Yeah I just hope they fix the performance
glass knot
And maybe uh stop adding unnecessary mtx on single player games just because it'd bad PR and no one even buys those
Because the games are good and people just play them instead
glass knot
they're always doing something
Yeah they like to change stuff up
Wilds trailer already had a mount
I think the movement thing from the switch game was well received right
The grapple thing idk the name

Now if only there had been a couple celestial packs this would have been easy, but as is unfortunately impossible
Super fun run though

Basically with this you need exactly 1 high mult joker (not just +15)
I'm curious, does the imitating also prevent the stencils from going down in 1x?
So that board is all 4x at that point?
glass knot
all x3
blueprint still makes it go down
got limited on scaling cause i got no luck with decent mult jokers for this + boss ante that halved the score and stuff
still really fun
it could've been a bit crazier if i was not an idiot who messed up the order
cause Arcana gave me the Holographic augment + Dupe and I duped first cause i forgot it was a mega pack 🤦♂️

Orange stacks basically don't allow for a huge amount of tarot / planet upgrades unless you get a joker which generates them
