I swapped my 5600x out for a 5800x3d and after loving around with the settings for a while to not get it to redline the performance boost is pretty noticable. I'll probably stay with this system for a good 6-7 years

Honestly if you don't care about ray tracing consider amd cards, they're cheaper and have more vram

my hot take is that OLEDs are cool and all but the issue of burnin is still enough that they go bad after like 3-5 and as such they're not worth the purchase

When Fallout 76 launched the mic was hot by default. You couldn't change the settings till you were done with character creation, so it was just me and another guy unexpectedly speaking to each other for like 20 minutes while I was making my dude. His girlfriend said hi over the mic. It was surreal. Then I played the videogame and like chatted 3 times total over a 120 hr playthrough.

76 is so loving baffling because it has all these coop and pvp things set up but like, the game servers were max 14 people and the map was fallout map sized, so you would literally never see someone except if you cruised into a world event and even then it wasn't a guarantee

Having played it, it's middling. Lots of baffling design choices, haphazard plot and atrocious writing. As you said the combat is serviceable and it's got some really neat aesthetics but it's nothing special aside from a few select moments.

The writing isn't that bad but there's a lot of stuff that it doesn't explain or discuss that it really needed to, mostly about the main character

I don't trust the Skullgirls thing because it smells like pure marketing. My extremely cynical take is that they made the adjustments to get funding, people melted down about it, and then they spun it up into a culture war thing to harvest free engagement

I've been interested in it for awhile but I always flinch at the store page for whatever reason, probably the cost

people say ara fell is good but boy does it look like generic rpgmaker tripe

It's good, yeah. The battle system is neat and the story is good. I was impressed at how polished the whole thing felt, and apparently rpgmaker has come a longass way from when I was a kid since you can do all these crazy new things in it.

all of the eikon fights after the first one seem lame tbh. that one is cool and it makes it seem like it's some giant monsters fighting but after that it's like ifrit just moves around like it's regular person sized

this is an insane opinion to have. bro you are in a spectacle game, embrace it. let it wash over you. don't think about it too hard and enjoy big monster punch

Plus I can't stress enough how little the prewar backstory affects anything that happens in-game. I don't think it ever comes up a single time. You can make your character Killer Michelle with a sledgehammer or a big dumb jarhead lady if you want, the only thing stopping you is you

It doesn't and Bethesda genuinely doesn't give a gently caress about their lore making any sense but one of the big things for the game was the redesigned power armor but both main characters can just use it despite it needing training to use in previous games.

It's generally less about the game and more about Bethesda just kind of not giving a poo poo about the worlds they make even though that's literally their whole job

People always complain about turn based but both of the divinity games had almost no trash combat, everything was specifically built to whatever arena it was in and you only fought it once. Meanwhile pillars and pathfinder were both loaded with trash combat you alt clicked through

when i play support and i just run around points that my team just captured, or where i've previously seen the enemy team moving through, placing claymores until i run out. after that i mostly run around and try to find people to shoot. i get 30-40 claymore kills a game and have been at the top of my team's leaderboard from doing this. you can place 20 claymores if you have the right armor and use all your ammo packs, and there's no cap. you wanna put them in spots where people can't see the wires, like at the base of windows they're climbing through, behind knee high objects or in grass or bushes.
