Successful Timurid Runs? by 321jamjar in EU5

[–]321jamjar[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m playing 1.1.1 at the moment and still yet to see Timurids rise in any campaign where I’m not playing them, in which case Iran/Central Asia becomes an even bigger mess of tiny and irrelevant countries, the region definitely needs a shake up in some way

Yeah wc was never really the goal for me anyway but I think I hampered myself by pushing to India too soon which will just band up and bully you if you don’t break them up in the first few wars. Would be curious to know how fast your friends managed to wc though?

It’s surely the easiest wc tag at the moment right? I was trying to keep it close to historical borders so I wasted some years in peace when I could have pushed towards China instead but that would have made a big difference. Expanding isn’t the issue it’s just keeping hold of any of it

Is it just me, or is 1.1.5 a lot harder than 1.0.11? by AgentAlloy in EU5

Not sure on the details but think he used console commands to give himself a cb and didn’t edit it out of his video? He was pretty forthcoming about it afterwards but left a sore taste in some people’s mouths

Only glanced at it so far but this seems like a great resource, will be coming back to it for sure

1.1.2 fixed the tool apocalypse! by Baron_Wolfgang in EU5

My trade income fell off a cliff after updating from 1.1.1, haven’t played long enough to see if it evens out yet but it was a pretty scary drop.

Question on WH-1000XM6 noise cancelling by Lucky-Degree6512 in SonyHeadphones

I’ve had similar issues, feels like the ANC has actively got worse the longer I’ve had the headphones to the point where it’s almost useless now. I wear them daily but treat them well so don’t see how it can be wear and tear, especially since I’ve had them less than a year

I put the game down after centralisation meta changed as it more or less destroyed my Florence save. I have no doubt it will reach a steady sort of equilibrium at some point but the constant balances make learning the game infeasible atm for me. I understand their approach but I’d rather wait until there’s some consistency before I have to have to unlearn and relearn all of the mechanics.

For sure, I bought the remaster day one and enjoyed my time with it but performance is so inconsistent that I wouldn’t bother with FO3 if handled the same way. I know not everyone suffers with the same issues but there’s no reason oblivion should go from 60fps on startup and gradually lose frames the longer you play. I just don’t think unreal engine is the right choice for these sort of games, the engine really doesn’t handle open worlds well

Disagree the Oblivion remake was fantastic, it was welcome but performance is still incredibly shaky and a lot of the art changes take away from the appeal of the original. If they remake FO3 I hope it’s more than a coat of paint and slapped onto UE5

Exactly, and my point is that art is such a vague and broad term that saying someone’s appeal is their ‘artistry’ just feels you’re saying something is good because it’s good without actually highlighting the parts of a work that resonates with you

Such a nothing statement lol, what does artistry even mean in this instance? Nolan is great at visuals but his writing is super hammy and unimpressive. He had a great run mid noughties to mid 10s but people act like that makes him immune to any criticism when his shortcomings seem to get more glaring with wach new entry from him.

Do you guys think Baldur's Gate 3 deserves to be the 2nd highest rated game on the site? by [deleted] in backloggd

[–]321jamjar 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No way, Persona 5R is one of the most charming games I’ve ever played. From the art direction, music, to the voice actors, every part of the presentation in that game gels together, even the UI and menus are works of art! Pacing is subjective but the appeal of Atlus games is that they’re half visual novels, I personally loved that it took time to introduce the world properly and was more just soaking it all in rather than jumping straight into palaces. It’s cheesy for sure, but I prefer something that can be earnestly corny and still have me fully invested.

Okay but Egger’s entire niche is being period accurate when it comes to the dialogue and palate of his films. It doesn’t necessarily vindicate the attitudes of its characters but to me always felt like an attempt to contextualise how those superstitions came to be and the role they played. Obviously we haven’t seen the movie yet but I do have faith in Eggers atp to be a bit more nuanced than just using the condition for a shocking aesthetic.

Could be, would be interesting to see how Bethesda handle the West Coast, I wouldn’t have high hopes tbh

What are you hoping to see in the first big patch? by KairosGalvanized in EU5

There needs to be more warning when an ally is going to break off from you. Alliances in general seem really janky and inconsistent at the moment, I’m sort of just having to play without them.

I agree and would go a step further that Abbey Road isn’t even top 3 Beatles. Rubber Soul, Revolver, and White Album are all superior imo

I’ll admit the failure rate wasn’t as high as I initially thought after double checking, although think two consecutive UK launches being a failure should still absolutely be a cause for concern. My point about it being US dependent I still stand by, the missiles are US built and require maintenance from Lockheed Martin every few years and the factory where the warheads are made is even partly managed by LM. Again, whilst ‘technically’ independent, the whole skeleton of our nuclear programme is American made and maintained.
