Is there a smart way to decide how to upgrade your poo poo in the long run? broad/long/bastard swords +1/2 going anywhere here besides the latest one you can buy just going to have better numbers for your mats?

From what I've heard, as long as you do hunts and sidequests you will always be given good gear materials that can be crafted into gear that will always beat stuff you can buy from the store directly.

Maybe my eyes aren't what they used to be but I honestly can't see any difference between frame rate and graphics mode save for a lower frame rate and awful motion blur on graphics mode.

Isn't there meant to be a motion blur toggle with the patch? Can't find it and the blur sucks.

Did anyone else notice that the arete stone ATL entry just casually mentions that the hideaway is the remnants of an airship because lol there's the classic Cid connection (noone actually confirm/deny if it becomes relevant if you're that far already)

So what's the verdict on performance VS quality mode at launch?

Kingtheninja posted:So what's the verdict on performance VS quality mode at launch? Digital Foundry and my own experience indicate that quality is the way to go. Huge sacrifices to IQ in performance and you get…a jumpy and unstable frame rate in the trade off. Quality feels fine and is (importantly) a stable and smooth 30.

I hated quality and went to performance. The intense motion blur and 30fps while exploring feels bad. Loving the game so far, combat is better than I expected and they’ve done a good job balancing the world building and characters.

VanillaGorilla posted:Digital Foundry and my own experience indicate that quality is the way to go. I've got the opposite opinion so far, I had it on quality for an hour or so, then switched to performance and it just feels so much nicer. Moving the camera around in quality is absolute trash, and performance framerate is definitely a lot better than the demo.

i normally go for performance whenever its available but after getting to the first exploration area the framerate jumping all over the place was making me want to hurl and i had switch to quality

What’s the advantage of the phoenix dash compared to Clive’s regular lunge other than to hit airborne enemies? Regular lunge into magic burst bullies light enemies brutally, while the Garuda pull generally just feels very versatile and useful all around. Does the phoenix dash have iframes?

Its Rinaldo posted:Yoship didn't come to gently caress around. "But YoshiP, how much filler content will we put in after the opening bombastic spectacle?" "All bombast" "No you need a grinding area for..." *slamming fist on table* "ALL BOMBAST" It feels like I'm playing an RPG in fast forward.

I'm trying my damnedest to avoid spoilers so I'm popping in just to say that this early forest area is gorgeous. In fact the whole game is. But this forest is another level.

What the gently caress is Benedikta's accent? It changes between Irish, American and Eastern European with every sentence.

Filler is badass hope the game will slow down a bit now that i'm through what seems to have been basically the "first chapter" of the story.

I prefer quality despite the blur. Performance feels like it's constantly hitching and uneven. Turning off blur on graphics mode will be perfect, it's very steady.

The best one remains the goons who got really mad about Claudia Black's natural accent calling it a bad impression in Uncharted. The episode of Chuck where Yvonne Strahovski does her natural accent is close though, because it also meant those people did not play Mass Effect 2.
