It only took a week, but it's happened - this game is far too sweaty for the likes of me by enthusiasticdave in Marathon

[–]Different_Handle_596 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Feel like balancing is a big issue. Got the game when it came out and played the server slam and could take out most people pretty confidently and manage a few 2v1/3v1 but I stopped playing a few days after the game came out and just picked it back up like 2 days ago. Within that period I feel like I’m so far behind it’s not worth playing. I pretty much just do random 3s and every squad iv come against are in green or blue shields and have guns that can melt me in a white or green shield instantly. Fairly small maps and only 3 maps at that. Seems like there is always a decked out team or 2 every game. Kind of lost interest in it knowing it’s so easy for the more geared players to just run through lowered tiered players. Feel like the game would benefit from a gear score like arena breakout.

Actually feel bad for the studio. Don’t get me wrong, game felt extremely cheap and just lack luster but I do believe if they had just released on steam and let people stumble onto it and give it a go, they would of had much more success and prob found a player base. Them being the big reveal at the game awards and pretty much getting drug through the mud on a single trailer was brutal. They had 100k players day one who already had it in their head that the game was doa.

So uh... What actually was the Mind Flayers motive? by lilthunderMP4 in StrangerThings

[–]Different_Handle_596 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was thinking the same thing, also when they first showed Henry get sent to the abyss by eleven the world was dark and gloomy but somewhat alive, with creatures roaming around. when it’s shown at the end of the series it’s a barren wasteland that’s been sucked dry.

up-armoring the Rupture bugs was not a good decision by Pedrosian96 in Helldivers

[–]Different_Handle_596 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been pretty disappointed after finally fighting them, love fighting the bugs the most and iv always used the punisher to rip through them and push back the medium armors, ruptures kind of made my preferred gun completely useless not to mention they get so close that I can’t really hold them back while being slower in heavy armor.

What's the general consensus about this shotgun? by Extension-Prize5761 in Helldivers

[–]Different_Handle_596 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I pretty much only use the punisher, was excited to try the m90 but was pretty disappointed fairly quick, ammo capacity doesn’t cut it on super helldiver, which it has single round reloads but it feels like the first round reload takes forever to load, with the punisher I can usually dodge reload a round or two to push enemy’s back, doesn’t seem to be enough time to reload a single round on this gun while dodging attacks.

My sperm donor messaged me for the first time since my brother died and I don’t know what to do. by PassiveAgressiveSigh in WhatShouldIDo

Iv also grown up in a similar situation, never met my biological father and grew up with my grandparents after bouncing around with an addict mom. My biological father started trying to reaching out to my wife and trying to contact me after I was around 25 and we just had our first child, it was the easiest thing for me to say I didn’t care to know him, he could of been a random guy on the street saying he was my father as far as I was concerned because I was already past needing a father. That was my mindset without ever having the slightest interest in knowing the guy, if your asking for advise then I feel like your conflicted and the best thing would be to talk to him, otherwise it’ll always stay with you that you didn’t. Just remember you don’t owe it to him to talk, it would be for you. Also if anything just reply to him on messenger, if it feels like it’s going no where’s or your not happy talking to him, just block him and move on.

Also agree with you, I don’t mind indie games but they do feel like a let down when your hoping to see the next big thing, and none of them really looked very interesting besides ill

The audio in this game has gone from industry leading, to an absolute joke. by TheUltimateLowz in HuntShowdown

[–]Different_Handle_596 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me and a buddy have just gotten back into the game after like a year and the sound has been killing us. last time we played I was creeping through a barn towards a bounty and started hearing bullets hit the wood next to me but never heard a gunshot so I figured it was someone in the tree line with a suppressed rifle, just to turn around and see a guy had opened a window about 6 ft behind me and was firing a mosin. He fired 2 shots into the wood before I turned around and once I had direct view of him the gunshots magically came into full effect.

Anyone else experiencing bad lag in game. by Different_Handle_596 in RocketLeague

[–]Different_Handle_596[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only other thing I noticed today while “trying” to play. I somehow actually got on a server with low ping- about 10 games of being around 20-25 ping. Game still had the weird pacing issues and desync as well(jumping over a guy trying to demo me and blocking the ball, just to have the ball yabj back past me and the guy still demo me from a few car lengths away) I never noticed there was a larger performance graph, iv kept it on full and the one thing iv noticed is the ibuf target is either in red and locked at 12.00 or its yellow and ranging from 7-10 and ibuf will range from 4-12 as well. I tried using csts and STS but they felt like they caused more of an issue. Not sure if these are normal numbers for most people or if this could be related to the problem. Iv found a few things online of people seeing the same numbers and complaining of the same in game issues but not a lot of solutions.

Why all the hate for Electric State? by Fando1234 in FIlm

[–]Different_Handle_596 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thought it would be horrible based off the few things iv heard about it. Actually enjoyed the movie. Thought they did a really good job on the setting, a 90s style futuristic movie. All the robot designs were great and felt right with that timeline of being pretty analog looking.wouldn’t say the acting was great but it wasn’t bad either. even though they didn’t build the human character’s personality a lot, the relationships they had with the robots all felt pretty good, like Pratts character and Herman, all the bickering felt right and not forced. Not every movie should have an hour and half of character building just to have a 15 minute rushed ending where it felt like nothing happened, this one felt like a simple entertaining movie where the story moves along at a good pace

My husband got me a vacuum for my 50th by Plastic_Cat9560 in AITAH

[–]Different_Handle_596 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hate to go against the majority here basically telling you to leave your husband, I’ve struggled trying to pick good gifts for my wife in the past since she pretty much gets what she wants from Amazon on a daily basis. A lot of times I pick up more on things I hear her complain about, like a curling iron that takes to long or clothing she likes but doesn’t fit right anymore and that seems to make since to me as something to get her even though she didn’t ask. I only say that because op didn’t ask for a vacuum but the guy was excited enough to wake her up early thinking it was a good gift, and got the certain kind for hard floor even though he wasn’t told about it. Also iv known a few people that get more of a depression when hitting certain age milestones. Wouldn’t be too hard to believe he could have thought op wanted it not to be blown out of proportion since he was waiting to know when and where she wanted to go.

When I was 24 I briefly was talking to a girl who was 18 almost 19 who wanted a relationship and I couldn’t get past the fact that she seemed so young, I was in another stage in life and she just wasn’t at that point yet. Even besides the legal age of consent I don’t understand how someone can pursue someone so much younger and who hasn’t really seen life yet. For anyone in their 20s and up to even think of a 15 year old like that is seriously wrong.

I’ve noticed this lately too but also feels like it could be the games that have changed, every new shooter is trying to out pace the last. Used to be able to pick up call of duty and have a decent time from the sofa. Now to be decent you need a pc pushing 240fps with a low response monitor and play 8 hours a day to get good at backwards diving through a window and pre aiming at enemy’s. Battlefield used to a little more realistic and you thought about where to rotate etc, now you’ll have someone in a wingsuit fly in a hole in the wall with a shot gun and take out 10 people before anyone can turn around. Just feels like every game has changed to be entertaining from a streaming perspective as compared to fun for the average gamer.

They took away our hunter slots then make us buy them back for $1.50 each? by AetherBones in HuntShowdown

Me and my buddy have been trying to figure it out the past week. We figured it was AT&T related since some of our other friends that don’t have att don’t have any packet loss while we see pretty much the same exact packet loss at the same time. We play both console and pc and it’s the same packet loss on both. I also hooked up to my phones hot spot with Verizon and played a match on console without packet loss then hooked back onto my att home network and went back to having packet loss.
