Which is why I'd rather have them give up on 60 fps altogether since it obviously isn't going to happen.

I did the timed cactuar quest fight in lite mode and got dizzy. The high resolution mode is slightly better at least.

Like I'm happy some of you can handle frame pacing issues and poo poo. I'd rather just not play if that's the only option. I had to quit playing Bloodborne because I couldn't stop focusing on it.

You are utterly blessed if you can't. It's kind of like screen tearing. Some people say they can't notice it at all but I've gotten queasy from playing games that have atrocious screen tearing.

They're also sort of counter productive things to talk about if you don't notice them because if you look into them and figure out how to see it, you've sort of screwed yourself over. Ignorance is bliss in this case?

Yeah there's no way to say this without coming off as a phenomenally elitist prick but I truly do envy people who just don't notice or care about these things, because I suspect they're having more fun with games that are problematic in those areas than I am

At least in my case, the most recent patch made performance just a little worse even on a regular PS4. I noticed it mainly with some hitching and weird animation frameskips a couple times with mounting/dismounting my chocobo.

I haven't played it with the recent patch but sometimes the game stutters periodically on a regular ps4, and sometimes the fps is low but it's very rare.

Frame pacing in Bloodborne I only noticed after I started playing it on another PSN account, which is weird. 14 character long name on that one, 10 character name on my main account that flat out doesn't get frame pacing in BB. I'd been troubleshooting had I been with a Pro.

Latest patch improved FFXV performance on the regular PS4, I've felt it far smoother and steadier than before, less of the GTA5 30fps like feeling.

It's also (generic ending discussion) a very bad fit for the gameplay mechanic of exploring an open world with robust postgame content. I have more fun with the game when I ignore the story as much as possible.

4chan leaker is back at it. They've historically been correct but as always, pinch of salt. Note that the first thing about Somnus is meant to be about fixing unintended behaviour.

"1.05 update makes Somnus play through final dungeon (Insomnia) through fights. Further development of FINAL FANTASY XV is ongoing.

- Additional cutscenes with Ravus and Niflheim to be added into New Game mode in addition to EPISODE PROMPTO content.

- Additional cutscenes with Noctis and Luna to be added into New Game mode.

- Additional cutscenes with Cor Leonis and Regis to be added into New Game mode in addition to EPISODE GLADIOLUS content.

- PLATINUM DEMO to be added to main game as bonus mode.

- EPISODE IGNIS to be released Q4 2017.

- Unannounced expansion, "WORLD OF VERSUS" to be unveiled at E3 2017 (release Q1 2018.) Expect this to be of a much darker tone than the base game. Covers "The demons Noctis faces during his 10 year slumber." This is the "VERSUS" world, the world of dreams that Noctis can enter in his slumber. Themes of loss and tragedy will be developed and expanded upon.

No further updates at this time."

Just had a weird spoily bug / thing. I'm on my ng+ and was doing some hunts in Chapter 3. I went to longwythe for the first time, hit the diner, turned on the radio and it was announcing the death of luna before I have even done the titan quest.

Am I reading those notes right and they're adding new cutscenes piecemeal with each DLC? I guess there's no point doing NG+ until they're done it getting the story fixes is your goal.

Yes. Though how its phrased suggests they'd be free if it happened.

I don't think that's a spoiler? Luna is presumed dead in the Insomnia invasion, pretty sure that's recently happened at that point.

I hope they do a timed quests that's exactly like this factual right but instead it's 100 tonberries.

EDIT: Oh cool halfway into the quest Noctis just froze up and now I can't do anything. I can use items but I can't move or bring up any combat menus or switch weapons.

As long as it's not the kind from that quest where you do two at the same time by a southern Duscae tomb, I'll be happy to fight them.

is there some trick to getting the sturdy helixhorn to drop for the engine blade upgrade? I checked a couple of guides and they all said to pick up the spiracorn hunt from old lestallum and kill the 2 duplicorns there, and even with the item drop+ food buff and using the wait mode break ability I've not seen any in ~20 save loads. is the drop rate just that awful?

I think you're just having bad luck because you're not doing anything wrong.

You get the sturdy horn by breaking their horns, not by killing them. It's still not a guaranteed drop even when you do break it.

I had to have the drop rate food and kill off the small guys, save then break the horns and savescum. Took about 8 tries

It's really stupid how long these timed hunts last. Like really, I have to wait for the seventh day next month for a new one? Considering these seem like the only thing for endgame level AP; jesus gently caress, it'll take an entire month to get a single limit break, come on guys.

If you break their horns each time and have the drop buff going, then it seems like you're just super unlucky. I got the horn on my first try with the food buff, but then again a quest where you had to get a feather of some kind from whatever monster (quest from the frog lady) took me 5 reloads. Maybe it's just like a 20% chance for the rare stuff to drop. Seems like you're doing it right tho, so just keep trying I guess

kecske
Feb 28, 2011

the wiki seems to think the horn has 10% drop chance on a successful break, so I guess I'll keep on doing what I'm doing.

is the final engine blade better than those daggers (I forget the name) everyone loves?

No, but you can get it in like chapter four (three maybe?) instead of the postgame.

I was wearing (probably a DLC pack) ring for item droprates when I got mine on the third try recently.
