    Crimson Desert

    This game is intriguing. Looks like a janky BotW meets Witcher with extra exploration and less story. Assuming a few patches will smooth out bugs and controls and I’ll dive in. I’m too addicted to Arc Raiders right now anyways to try and take on a massive single player open world rpg.

    Edit: I’m an idiot and can’t read. I kept checking the in game settings menu not the main menu. Found it. Thanks

    Crimson Desert

    If exploration is fun and a key high point of the game, I might give it a shot. Why do the bushes and trees always look like it’s a hurricane though? That’s got to be distracting with them blowing all directions like crazy all the time.

    Where was the soft cap toggle? I finished the game a few days ago and never did find it in the settings. edit: game was good. Enjoyed it a lot especially act 1 when I was weak. I got super OP without even really upgrading my armor very much and didn’t go hunting for the optimal armor setup...

    Marathon - Bungie Extraction Shooter

    I really want this to succeed. If just for the sake of the next single player fps Destiny type Bungie game. Saturday morning you’d think quite a few would be playing on steam maybe? Nope. 54k 33rd place. For comparison AR is at 165k. Hopefully it picks up pace as the day goes on or maybe there...

    Marathon - Bungie Extraction Shooter

    I’m not buying it but I enjoyed the server slam. I got 23 hours into it. If I had paid $40 for that experience I wouldn’t be all that upset. I’d honestly rather do that than spend $70 on a 10 hour RE9 play through. will the game end up being an AR or HD2 type success story? No, but I think it...

    That’s actually a really nice patch. Any nerfs appear to be mostly optional with original items being retained while the new update versions being added to your inventory. You can also toggle the new stat softcaps. I wasn’t going to download it fearing it would gut my build, but now that it’s...

    Marathon - Bungie Extraction Shooter

    One big UI problem example is some items have the exact same icon and symbols but when you mouse over them the pop text explains very different things they do or different stats. Is that how it is in Arc Raiders too, and that’s why you don’t think the UI is that bad?

    Marathon - Bungie Extraction Shooter

    What map were you on? Different maps have different mob densities and max crew limits. Perimeter (beginner) and perimeter are super low/low respectively. not that I disagree with you at all, it is super empty overall. I tend to run solo que so I like it better being sparse but still it’s pretty...

    Where are the stupid tool carts? I know I’ve seen them before on Perimeter, but I’ve done 6 runs in a row and can’t find one to progress this beginner contract.

    Marathon - Bungie Extraction Shooter

    Not sure if it's been posted here, but you can help with the terrible sluggish controls a bit by tweaking the settings. FoV 105, look sensitivity 5, radial and axial dead zones 0.2. Not perfect, but it feels a lot better to me and was pretty comfortable to settle into after Destiny controls...

    Marathon - Bungie Extraction Shooter

    Do shells ever level up and get better/new abilities or increased stats? I’ve yet to find any shells specific loot, but I’d assume that’s how your character evolves and until then you can play any shell that fits your playstyle interchangeably?

    Marathon - Bungie Extraction Shooter

    Seriously? How stupid. The sound is so good, but if I can’t pinpoint real players what’s the point? edit: and is it just me or is the ammo economy wack? Maybe I’m just used to Destiny but I feel like I run out of ammo so fast even when I only kill a handful of bots. My backpack is already too...

    Marathon - Bungie Extraction Shooter

    Never played arc raiders so can’t really compare them, but just put in 3+ hours on Marathon. Solo que normal shells, haven’t tried rook yet. Only ever saw 2 runners in all my matches. One ignored me (my first match after tutorial so I was too scared to try and shoot him), the other killed me...

    I’m turning off game updates. I’m enjoying the game a ton right now as is. I don’t want my mage nerfed. Maybe I’ll change my mind once I get super OP, but I’m taking my sweet time with this one so far and am 38 hours in and still in act 1.

    What are you playing?

    FF12 is so good. One of my favorite FFs ever only behind 3(6) on the snes and maybe the original ff7. Currently loving Tainted Grail and it’s an eating up all my playtime.

    Unlooted corpse indicators would be nice. Any corpse that doesn’t fall dead right at your feet can be very difficult to find. I don’t think it will happen though. The game went with minimalistic/nonexistent assistance indicators, which overall I really like.

    Do you mean you couldn't figure out how to fish, or it was just too tedious and therefore "didn't work"? If it's the former, I struggled at first too. I'd click the button as soon as I heard and felt the bite, but it always failed. I realized after a while that you don't click the bite until...

    Mage here too, battlemage I guess? I tend to use one spell + wand for whacking when mobs get close. I just found a spell that seems really good, blazing something or other, but requires 12 spirituality. I am focusing on getting that after dumping some points into endurance for my armor...

    I’m really enjoying it too. Quick tip: I just realized that ALL materials used for crafting and cooking can be stored in your stash and pulls from there automatically. Took my weight from 198/200 to 68/200! So much better. I like the music a lot for this game, but the title screen song is just...

    I read that they updated the ps5 version to perform better when they released the first dlc. Does anyone know if the dlc is required to get the performance update patch or is it a patch to the base game? Going to buy the game soon but was planning to wait on the dlc to make sure I enjoy the game...

    This game sounds cool. I played the demo on ps5 and enjoyed it enough. My favorite part was killing the op guy at the boat for his sword at the very end of the demo. I heard the game kind of falls off in the last 1/3 and there are pretty significant performance issues as the game goes along? Is...

    Arc Raiders

    So would this game be for me if I really don’t like engaging in PvP? I don’t mind cooperative playing at all, but the twitchy sweaty kill them fast kind of gameplay doesn’t appeal to me anymore. It’s on sale on PSN so I’m debating grabbing it

    Star Wars: Outlaws

    It’s pretty fun now. Reminded me of the Rogue 1 movie in some ways since it’s Star Wars, but not Jedi focused and all the mainstream stuff. The stealth stuff has been way tuned down and is much more optional, which helped a lot with game flow. It did get repetitive though even when I went into...

    The Outer Worlds

    Do you have a link to the review that compares OW2 to Destiny? I’d like to watch it. Next game on my list is either this or Borderlands 4, whichever has gunplay that feels most like Destiny 2.

    Synastria (Solo WoW Emu)

    If I understand correctly, common item stats transfer between characters. If I want to start at 1 and then swap to DK at 55, I should go pal or war since they are also plate wearers and in theory would have the most in common with a DK for perma stats correct? I’m guessing a Paladin would be...

    Thanks. I was leaning DK after reading an earlier comment about being able to swing around. I haven’t started yet. Got the game client and pasted in the custom patch files. Wasn’t sure I did it right, but the game seemed to be working. Logged in long enough to make a throw away 80 so alts will...

    The Heroes Journey (Multiclass EQemu Progression Server)

    It only works out of combat, unless the spell is on your spell bar and then you can use the command whenever. It’s intended for buff spells but no idea if it works for offensive spells initially until it puts you into combat on whatever mob you cast it at.

    The Heroes Journey (Multiclass EQemu Progression Server)

    Temporary debuffs instead of outright dispelling all your buffs is an amazing change. Couple that with the ability to cast non-memmed spells, and buffing/staying buffed is easier than ever!
