    Man this fucking game is being a cunt. Won't save my settings at all, whatever I'm trying. Game's running in admin mode, files are not read only(in fact the settings files are updated fine while I change them ingame/logout so technically it's saving them, then for some reason resets when I log...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    They need the MSQ to unlock dungeons. They mostly used to farm Wanderer's Palace, don't know what they do nowadays, but they basically bot chars so they can farm dungeons constantly at max lvl(nowadays it'd be HW dungeons but they might stick to 50 shit so it's easier I don't know). Potd being...

    Yeah MHW is great for that imo, honestly it's about as mmo as a lot of these korean games if you party with people(4man parties which is generally normal group size anyway, long term progression with deco/charm farming, new content being added over time) but without most of the P2W hassles since...

    Path of Exile

    The card drop rates are ass(well not terrible, but not good enough for the value), and it's still RNG what you get and it's likely weighted towards the non might jewels too. Googling it I found a reddit post from a few months ago I had read back then with people posting various results, but it's...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    The live translation said he specifically mentionned it'll probably break housing stuff and they'll work on getting it back working after. The changes are to counter one of the easier way to clip through objects and end up out of bounds, by fiddling with your FPS. Might be other reasons to do...

    Oh certainly doesn't seem too different, but I also didn't play EQ much. I did play XI a fair bit and yeah it was that, especially as the puller so I was actively playing the game, versus the rest of the group just sitting there and chatting while waiting on mana or pressing their 3 buttons when...

    To be fair, I'm a big fan of action combat, and I still didn't like BDO. But I think it wasn't the combat itself(which was alright although I didn't get very far into it) and more the mindless grinding aspect on thousands of trash mobs in camps repeating over and over, without any sort of actual...

    Monster Hunter Rise

    Generally speaking MH doesn't sell content, just like cosmetics and shit, all the content is added for free, and they add a ton of it over time, so it's never a bad time to pick up the game and start playing cause new content and seasonal events ensures there's always people playing(in case you...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    It's kinda weird since these tend to be pretty simple quests usually but guess it's part of the corona cuts. I don't think I've cared for any of them though, beast tribe stories are nice enough usually but the allied one is kinda whatever(first couple had like some villain storyline shit but...

    Subnautica

    The vehicles are definitely the high point in terms of building stuff, I loved them, they were somewhat unexpected past the first one and they felt really fun to use. Building them is when you'll maybe have to go "ok I need 48 of this thing so I need to go gather some more" and stuff but it's...

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    I didn't necessarily mean they're not gonna do the same thing, just that they don't need to adhere to the same rules as even in this one, where everytime something weird happens, the ghosts show up and what not. Like they might just add a new character, not kill Aerith(or kill her at a different...

    AC's combat wasn't anything like that though. AC's entire combat was basically sliding around casting spells that would near one shot people and landing 2 or 3 of them consecutively before they healed for victory, with the difficulty being the other person was also sliding and you couldn't lead...

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    Yeah a lot of the squeeze through places is for loading purposes, same reason all the sectors are linked by long paths of nothing. This is largely because the game was designed for PS4, with the slow ass HDDs. I expect the next one, since iirc they said it's PS5 only, to not have nearly as many...

    My playthrough was 28hours, so ymmv I'd say. I didn't spend an inordinate amount of time gathering I thought, although you do quite a bit early game since there's so little to get started with. You still do some later, but you get better tools or better sources of materials(like early you get...

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    That's why I said unlike. Shadow only "fake" dies, while Aerith was really dead (although it was a pretty common rumor back then before the advent of the internet that there was a secret way to resurect her and stuff, but in the end was just the usual "my uncle works at Nintendo" stuff).

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    Alright finished this, bought it along with my PS5 and played through it, then 100%'d the rest(including all the play log stuff that doesn't have achievements). Pretty fun game. The visuals are amazing(other than shitty textures here and there), the music is amazing, nothing surprising here it's...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    October/November probably, they already pushed it back so they'll probably take their time, still falls in the same year for profit results and that's a good period to sell games and no huge announcement for that period yet unlike last year(even if Cyberpunk ended up being a wet fart). Covid has...

    Doubt it, you can actually copy PS4 games' saves to USB on a PS5, but you can't do it with the PS5 saves, the same option is just not there for PS5 games. It is most likely to curb cheating, since you can't access PS5 saves in anyway right now afaik, you can't get access to the built in SSD...

    It installs everything on the SSD/HDD for faster loading, but checks disc so you don't install rented games then "own" them forever, is my guess. I just install stuff as I play it + 3-4 other games for after. It isn't a big SSD though that's for sure but for the way I play at least it's fine...

    Oh that sounds like my problem, fans on the GFX and CPU turned on(full speed too), but not the case fans. Weird. Bad time to get GFX issues though, even the older stuff is expensive as fuck.

    Yeah I played blind when I did a few months ago, didn't end up missing much on my own other than a very obvious thing that I ended up checking because I was thinking I must have missed something(some fucking ressource I didn't notice the first time that basically cockblocked my progression for a...

    Monster Hunter Rise

    I don't know about Rise HH since it got a bunch of new skills, but it was a lot of sheathing/unsheathing in World too. I guess with the new moves it might not be as bad but most slow weapons you're kinda going to do that to get your openings. HH does have fast movement speed though even...

    NVidia GeForce RTX 30x0 cards

    Oh funny, my old PC also had the exact same card, twin froze 660, died about 3 weeks ago too. The card itself is fine though, I think, it's the motherboard that died. Or well technically it still works, but it takes like 200+ "turn it on and off again" to actually boot. It started dying by...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    You can solo all of them I believe, although Nidhogg is cancer iirc. I think for some of them BLU is faster than a 80 unsynced too, because Basic Instinct is so strong. Still overall faster to just party for them though, a lot die in like 2mins or less in a party so you can get your mounts at...

    Monster Hunter Rise

    As mentionned, MH weapon choice is very much a matter of taste, you might pick up a weapon and hate it, and switch to a few different weapons until you find the one that clicks for you. Then possibly later you'll go back to the weapons you hated and will find they're actually fun now that you...

    Yeah Subnautica is great, it's like part Survival(you gather shit, build up shit to gather harder shit and so on), part Horror(just because, it's underwater, ymmv but that shit stressed me), part Adventure(there's an actual story to follow and it's surprisingly good too for something you'd think...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Doesn't affect tokens, doesn't affect subs, so yeah it's either to fight against Gifting one month at a time(for whatever reason) or to get people to use renewals so they can fuck them when they forget. Although I wonder, isn't it like FF or Amazon where you can activate the sub, then instantly...

    Monster Hunter Rise

    The Foundry video said it was pretty stable at 30, with only occasional very small dips. That said they only tested the first 2 areas, and sometimes the later areas can be more demanding, or the later monster(MHW when you got Teostra or Kushala for example). Don't know about the final product...

    There's custom faceplates but it seems hard to get them, I'm guessing cause of Sony's legal threats and because there might not be enough demand yet to start a big production, not sure, you can preorder some directly from China. Can also put some wrappers on the existing plates apparently. The...

    PoE2 stuff is because they apparently pushed it back quite a while, saw a post on reddit about it, not sure when but they updated the announcement page to say beta won't start until at least early 2022, when it used to say at least late 2020(which obviously wasn't gonna happen but that's a fair...

    Demon's Souls remake so far, and that free game that comes with the console. They announced the new Ratchet and Clank and a couple of other less big games as exclusives during the initial reveal. Not that much and they haven't released yet, kinda terrible time to release. I bought mine just to...

    The Linus tech video posted earlier explained that they're apparently opening 2 factories in the US, but that's a plan for the future, as in 2022-2023 future, and that's just the first step of the chain, after that you still need all the other steps(making the PCBs, soldering the chips on them...

    NVidia GeForce RTX 30x0 cards

    Fine being, not fine at all, supply wise. As for who cares, anyone who wants a Nvidia card probably? If it uses Nvidia chips, it means less chips for other stuff, such as graphic cards. The switch sells a ton of units, they outsold both next gen consoles in February(and I assume January), so...

    To be fair, miners have been a constant for a while, they surged back again somewhat recently because Bitcoin prices went up a bunch again but the shortage was a real thing before that too. The higher demand is likely a large problem, how many ppl in this thread that were sitting on 1080s and...

    Google said 4AM west coast, but no idea about daylight savings.

    I got a 30s ad that was 1 out of 6 the other day clicking a random channel. Might depend on the country but here in France at least you get a shit ton of ads still ever since the new changes. Although it seems to depend on the channel, and I guess the one channel I had used my prime sub on...
