Any way to upgrade to the Deluxe Edition? I've decided I love the game and want to throw more money at the devs for it but not $80 love.

They'll be adding some paid skins in the future.

Watching your second clip, you under aim a lot. You might need to slowly up your sens till you find your optimum setting.

Do you move the mouse with your wrist or arm?

Kill or assist in killing of titans or players using it is the only way to rank up guns I believe.

The issue with high sensitivity is effectively the third clip, where I overaim to the extent that every shot goes wide.

I tend to move the mouse with my wrist.

How would the dog wear goggles and even more than that, who makes the goggles?


How do the increased magazine size and faster reload upgrades interact with the l-star?

if it means more time before overheat/ faster cooling then that would be great. If it just speeds up the animation where you replace the part if you shoot for too long then that blows.

There are lots of guns to unlock but I just run around with stim and a shotgun. Can't really do anything at range but when I blast someone as I fly by it's real good. I'm bad at fps on console but I got it on PS4 anyway.

People played Splatoon for a year plus and all they did was add a map every other month or so and that kept people into it. Splatoon had better matchmaking than TF2 but it was also added later there so there's hope for this yet in that regard

they also balance changed the cost effectiveness of all the abilities, weapon hitboxes, nerfed some weapons, remade a few maps to not be broken, added more visual customization, and added a bunch of new useful and absolutely useless weapons

but there's two kinds of matchmaking in splatoon, the ranked mode matchmaking which only lets you play 3 gimmick modes, the main mode "turf war" has awful matchmaking. If its like, tuesday or wednesday it works fine, but the problem is everyone gets reset to zero every sunday, and I don't mean zero with placement matches for the new week, I mean zero. If you're not playing within the first like 10 hours of sunday the 7 other players it will match you with for your first like 5-15 matches of the week seem impossibly inhuman at how stupid they are

What's your dpi? It took a long time for me to get used to more arm based aiming but it's a lot better.

Edit: rewatched the clip, it looks like your over aim is due to over correcting under aim.

Double edit: watching really intently, I can't tell. It looks like underaim in parts and over aim in others

I adored Splatoon, but better matchmaking? Come on. After you attain a certain rank in this game you will face nothing but overseas players. This problem is made worse by p2p system it uses.

The connection wasn't always great but I just meant that matches always felt nicely challenging. I rarely lose currently (people will probably get better as pop falls off) and would like some kind of ranking system

all of the ranked modes are poorly implemented / not remotely well thought out though? They all heavily favor a certain weapon class/special or two and none of the weapons or skills are balanced around them.

He's using Shadowplay but you can get OBS to do the same thing. Gfycat will take the FLVs OBS spits out directly if theyre short enough, or you might need an editor to trim to size first.

Ugh they really need to relax the hit detection between friendly titans/bubbles or redo some of the maps to give more room. It's so frustrating if you fire something(especially with a cooldown) and a friendly titan moves in front of you and blocks it(or if it's a grenade, kills you). Or if you're about to kill a player/titan and another player drops a titan right in front of you, with the bubble blocking everything.

Looking at it now, it really is disgusting. The flesh is transparent. From the start, I had no idea if it would even make a clapping sound. So I diligently reproduced everything about human hands, the bones, joints, and muscles, and then made them slap each other pretty hard.
4k DPI is high, but I don't think CS GO is a great comparison for DPI/sens. That game plays best with extremely precise mouse movements, whereas Titanfall is much more about rapid turns.

Using NVIDIA Shadowplay to record the last 2.5 minutes, then using Windows Movie Maker to encode/cut down the MP4s that Shadowplay spits out into gfycat acceptable files. Mixtape.moe and gfycat will both take MP4s and do the hard conversion work for you. Gfycat is soundless (It seems? I couldn't see an option anywhere to leave sound on) whereas mixtape is not.

e: Its worth noting that WMM will need some fiddling to make it encode at 60 FPS, as by default it tries to encode at 30 FPS which looks like rear end on 60 FPS video.

I'll mess around with it tommorow, but suspect turning it down would only make me worse in the short term since i'm use to my current DPI. Thank you for the advice and tips!

What did the five fingers say to the face? SLAP!
I loved the original Titanfall a lot, but I'm really sad that the smart pistol is no longer a selectable primary weapon. My play was exceptionally better with it because I was able to focus on movement and setups. My aiming is perfectly fine, but it just suited my play style and really gave me a lot of flexibility. I'm hesitant to get this because I have no idea which gun I'd use. I guess I can move over to a shotgun? I guess the SMG was ok when you had the run n' gun kit attached.

I've never been a fan of FPS games but Titanfall was the true exception to that.

I'm very disappointed by the lack of a smart pistol as well, since that thing was my favourite weapon in Titanfall 1. But SMGs are crazy good in this game, and don't require super fine aiming. Same with shotguns.

Give it a shot. If you buy on steam you can play for two hours before requesting a refund, which should let you try the game out.

Though that being said I was doing godawful in this game for around two or three hours before something "clicked." I don't even know what did, I just know that I went from bottom of the leaderboard every game to topping it.
