Serephina posted:According to steam cheevos, I completed "Ups and downs" and never finished “The Titan of Alphaas”. The mission that made me throw the whole game in the dustbin certainly *started* with no dungeon for the first few minutes, regardless of if you got deigned to be given one later on. The overworld combat was nowhere near good enough to play a Blizzard-style hero-unit version of it. But as you said, D3 also had a huge other pile of issues that removed all of the teeth of DK's gameplay. I much, much preferred WftO's missions as they had fun bite, even if it was a rougher product in other areas. Yeah. It's also an intolerable meme game, where it feels like every single line had a really annoying person go over it and put in a really bad pun or joke.

I bought Forza Horizon Ultimate, had a good time for 3 hours and then after I got to autumn and unlocked most of the features it started crashing/freezing all the time... Apparently it started crashing with certain Nvidia drivers and it's still happening with the latest. It's been nearly 3 months since it started crashing and no word from either developers or Nvidia about actually getting it fixed. I could downgrade my drivers, maybe I will... https://steamcommunity.com/app/1293830/discussions/0/5551280551725589295/ Sininu fucked around with this message at 06:04 on Jan 18, 2023 |

  Why not 64GB RAM for 30 fps?

I will be real seeing the Forspoken developers immediately throw their demo under the bus at the first sign of people being critical of it does not give me hope in the final product.

What’s the deal with forespoken? Was that the one a while back where they had marvel-esque “well….that just happened” writing? Or was that something else?

It's just the latest of Squeenix' mediocre overpriced games. You know it's a quality action game when the developers expect you to play at 30fps.

The episode of Insert Credit which came out after that Forspoken ad almost killed me with their intro roll call of similarly cliched one-liners, go back and listen to that if you missed it

Jack Trades posted:Yes, it's that one. I've played the demo and it was pretty bad. Mainly it's a mess technically. On a PS5, the 30 FPS mode is unplayable IMO and 60 FPS felt nowhere near as good as 60 FPS in other games I've played recently. The graphics are strangely blown out like a badly tuned HDR. The sound mixing and VA sounds wrong, like it's a guy recording himself on a toilet, and the banter between the protagonist and her partner just don't match at all tone-wise. The combat was... flashy, but repetitive even within the 40 minutes it took me to finish the demo. The most impressive thing was instant fast travel

The recommended specs are hilarious because it's like they were written by someone who has never played a PC game before if they're benchmarking for 720p and 30fps. That being said I've seen similar outlandish recommended specs for other releases that ended up being nowhere near as stringent. You do take your own life into your hands when you buy a Square-Enix PC port though.

Bad Seafood posted:I asked a friend to look up the specific thing I'm stuck on so he can tell me what to do when or if I finally give in (without accidentally learning anything else). I'm not usually this stubborn, but when part of the appeal is solving it for yourself, you've talked to other people who did it on their own, and you've already made significant headway, the sunk cost starts to hang real heavy around your neck. this was ultimately why I didn't get lm2 - the first game was brilliant, but it was also impossible, and I was getting Spelunky 2 vibes from the sequel

There is a pretty cool FAQ/hint-based guide for la-mulana 2 on Steam. I used an equivalent one a few times for when I got stuck in the first game. Though I guess even the questions themselves can be spoilers to some degree. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1507017236

victrix posted:this was ultimately why I didn't get lm2 - the first game was brilliant, but it was also impossible, and I was getting Spelunky 2 vibes from the sequel But because it's been far more reasonable thus far, I can't shake the feeling I'm missing something simple, so when I inevitably look it up, instead of saying "How was I supposed to know that," I'm going to berate myself for being an idiot and missing such an "Obvious" solution in retrospect. But maybe this is where the game cranks things up, and I just have no way of knowing its uphill from here on in. Or maybe it's a glitch? I'd heard there was at least one soft-lock bug, though allegedly it got patched out. Not helping is the fact that several other puzzles I've solved, or almost solved, clearly requiring solving this puzzle first as a kind of bottleneck to progress, so I can't even just go off and do something else for a bit cause it keeps bringing me back to this one puzzle. I imagine this doesn't read like a glowing recommendation for the game, but it's put me in a weird position.

Someone mentioned that you can turn off/way down the quips in options. I still don’t really know what to think of the game, but I want it to be cool because the combat and parkour at least looks like they should be.

Forspoken's already 20% off at GMG (and maybe other sights) which doesn't suggest Square has a lot of confidence in it.
