    Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

    In act 3 a creature will ask you to kill it. If you question why, you lose the option. If you don't do it, you miss out on a very good picto (auto powerful). I thought it was a weird interaction so I Googled it immediately after, had to reload the save.

    Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

    Jumps and Gradient parries require the specific input. Normal attacks can be dodged or parried, but if you don't get used to parries eventually the later fights are going to take much longer. I have a lot of fights where the majority of my damage comes from counters with the picto that increases...

    Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

    It feels more like a dodge window than a parry window most of the time. Like every other attack though it's mostly about memorizing and recognizing the tells.

    Me sitting on a hoard of 100 unused lumina like some kind of dragon. Do it. Game moves much faster in Act 3. Like, physically. You move faster.

    Only used the other characters during a small portion where the party gets split.

    Don't neglect building relationships back at camp. Attacks, abilities and even locations are locked by some of them.

    Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

    I'm sure there are some really fucking broken builds as you get up into the crazy Lumina numbers. My best weapons are still level 20 and they go up to 33? I tried fighting the sky serpent thing and... Well, let's just say I don't even know where to start with that.

    That's my understanding so far. Probably going to spend the week clearing the map before I push the finale.

    Act 3 completely took me by surprise.

    Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

    I'm around 22 hours and nearing what almost certainly is going to be a point of no return so I'm gonna do all the extra battles I skipped now. Storyline weapon you get toward the end of act 2 is busted.

    Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

    Agree. Only thing I've noticed is that getting everything from an area will label it as a POI on your map rather than just being an icon.

    I don't see how a controller is mandatory at all. Playing MNK no problem.

    Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered

    Lumen is designed by Epic for lighting in UE5. It actually looks really good, I remember when they updated Fortnite to use it the change was incredible. It is very taxing just like RT, however you don't need dedicated hardware to use it.

    Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

    Locked frames at 60, set DLSS to balanced and now I'm getting a smooth performance with 75% GPU use on Epic preset. Feels pretty good now. I am leaning toward the QTE being more beneficial to combat than not. Turn based gets so boring after a while.

    Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

    Epic preset with DLSS quality gets me about 50fps on my 3070 but my GPU and VRAM are maxed out. Out-of-my-ass assumption about the story based only on the prologue and expedition intro:

    Marathon (Bungie)

    There's a lot of talk about and comparison to Tarkov but the reality is that Tarkov is unplayable for a lot of people since it isn't on console. Seems like Shroud had a lot of fun playing today, his chat was less enthused. Any time we've been able to compare metrics in Destiny, about two thirds...

    Marathon (Bungie)

    Alpha download is only 6GB so it's not surprising the textures are all so flat. Doubt any of the visuals are actually finalized. I remember the Black Ops high res texture pack was like 45GB by itself? Seems like the first two maps are basically newbie yards. Will definitely jump in if I get an...

    Sounds like morality is a tough cookie and maybe killing isn't always the answer? I wonder if they will explore this concept.

    Bungie just lifted the alpha NDA so there should be more impressions coming next week. Quoting what they say will be available and not: https://www.bungie.net/7/en/News/Article/alpha_update

    Marathon (Bungie)

    It's definitely part of the core "Bungie" feel yeah but it's not a 1:1 amount for both inputs. They have custom tuning for a lot of things now.

    Marathon (Bungie)

    Magnetism, yeah. Bullet-bending within an invisible accuracy cone. They actually apply more to MNK because sticks already have the friction assist. The first time they brought it up directly was when they were talking about nerfs to the Beyond Light preorder pulse rifle: It's the same stat...

    Marathon (Bungie)

    Destiny has more aim assist on mouse than it does on controller, the devs themselves have written multiple articles about how they handle it. You are probably talking about reticle friction (when something moves in front of you and drags the reticle) which is not the same as aim assist.

    Marathon (Bungie)

    Input preference isn't generally a problem in Destiny. People hate D2 PVP because of ability spam, not gun shooting. Sniping used to be a problem on controllers but multiple nerfs buried them.

    I don't know, man. Why are you recommending Beautiful Light when it's got a 2019-2026 "planned" development window? They don't have any PVE-only modes, either!

    Marathon (Bungie)

    Well Ut has said there was "no PvE" a couple times, it was a bullet point of his on why this game is already bad. Then he referenced Division 2 and its Dark Zones, so I thought he would be into that kinda shit. I'm not saying it's going to be good or bad but there is PVE in place and they say...

    Marathon (Bungie)

    Early testers haven't been allowed to talk about further maps yet but one of them described the experience as trying to run a Destiny dungeon while also extracting against the real players. I don't know the specifics yet, no one is talking about them, but that concept sounds cool to me. They...

    Marathon (Bungie)

    Trying to be objective. Tarkov had four maps at launch and nothing special about player characters, DMZ still only has three maps with some set loadouts, Delta Force had 5 maps. What extraction shooter are you comparing Marathon to? Six operators and four maps with escalating PVE difficulty...

    Marathon (Bungie)

    Fuck me for wanting a game to be good right? I could not care less who is making it. I hate Activision as a company, but I still wanted DMZ to be good. I have historically enjoyed [older] Halo and Destiny games so yeah I hope Marathon is fun.

    The Last of Us

    It's called training, dude. You think a black belt instructor never lets the blue belt tap them out once in a while to learn a position? This wasn't a real fight where the guy wanted to kill her. Do you understand that?

    Marathon (Bungie)

    I agree about proximity chat, that should be in an most games. Saying it's required is a stretch, it would definitely be more entertaining. What kind of PVE would you looking for here? Destiny is Bungie's best PVE and you don't seem to like that; though I would argue you never even made it to...

    Subreddits are fan-made, it's not official, anyone can create topics. The post is talking about how people are acting toward Marathon, but it's not actually about the game itself nor is it written by an employee of the company making it. A link to someone's LiveJournal would be just as relevant...
