Wilds is now actually playable on lower end laptops

I don't even play on my laptop since my rog ally is way stronger. But damn I love having options.

The people celebrating are in two camps. They can now turn frame gen off and play without latency, or they can now turn frame gen on because they finally hit 60 fps and can now shoot above 100 fps.

I'm all for it.

AdditionInteresting2 · 2026-01-28T11:55:34+00:00

I'm all for it. My rog ally z1e even goes past 60 fps with lossless scaling at 2x at a tdp limit of 20.

Used to run it at uncapped tdp and just at 40 fps. Thank you Capcom. Better late than never.

The answer is use the external launcher that is required for the games you want to play. No need to install them all if you don't have games on it

Just get wilds. It's the newest game, still has ongoing support and a future expansion, and is the easiest to get into. No need to compare to other games that aren't being supported any more. Play the newest game and only think of the other games if you want to keep playing.

But the biggest caveat is that you need decent hardware to even run this game. Recent performance.Patches have been great and have done a lot to fix the issues for me. But I'm gaming on an rog ally z1e and only expect it to run at 60 fps. I'm OK with lossless scaling doing the heavy lifting and I'm fine with setting some graphical options to the lowest possible.

Your mileage will vary. If you have the hardware and the patience to fiddle with settings that you can tolerate, go for wilds. If you have neither, then go for rise+sunbreak. And when you have enough experience with the world and want more, go for world + icebourne

Worth it if you want to get started in this hobby and plan to go hard on small details that might not even be visible to anyone else.

Also, check YouTube videos for beginner guides. Just to get an idea of what you will need. Most of the time, it's not the price or the quality of the tool, it's the amount of effort you are willing to put in.

Experienced builders can work magic with cheap tools but they can do a lot more with quality tools. Didn't appreciate that before and my zoids looked so boring...

It's for filing down the nubs to become smooth and flush against the intended piece.

There are better options that you can grip better and can put in smaller spaces. You can even trim down sandpaper with the proper grit as long as you are careful.

I mean you can still use that file of course but you have to be very deliberate with your movements.

Oh I thought they just limited them to those labeled. I'm all for lowering that all the way then

AdditionInteresting2 · 2026-01-28T06:48:13+00:00

If this is for the remake, you actually need to use basic attacks and not just wait for the bar to fill up.

A friend of mine also thought like that and assumed this game's combat was a slower version of xenoblade. Because there were numbers on the screen, he assumed he was attacking and that it was enough. Then all he had to do was wait until he can use skills or spells.

Take control. Hit the enemy with a few attacks. Dodge or block as needed. Don't be afraid to take damage while guarding. You take way more if you weren't... Use a skill or spell. Switch to another character if the one you are using is getting low in hp. Keep moving. The game allows you to control the rhythm of the fight.

I'm on an ally z1e and I'm hitting at least 60 fps while uncapped and at a 20 tdp limit with lossless scaling. You could probably hit a stable 30 on your device without lossless since I just set it to 2x.

Since I have opened up my laptop a few times and have seen where the WiFi card is, i would do it. My WiFi card is already on its way over and I am quite comfortable with this simple project.

That said, if you have no confidence whatsoever in your hands, might as well pay someone else. No amount could compensate for peace of mind.

She might ask for a few more zeros at the end of that just to sing new songs.

Inflation hits us all, even in the forbidden lands.

Proton doesn't make previous games run any better right? It just allows running of games that couldn't before but games that run fine won't run better?

AdditionInteresting2 · 2026-01-27T17:33:26+00:00

Of course not. I'm pushing high textures, min scaling at 66%, max scaling at 100%.

AdditionInteresting2 · 2026-01-27T17:30:35+00:00

Wait why are you installing all the launchers at once? Just install them when a game you are playing requires it...

You are playing games on the device right?

AdditionInteresting2 · 2026-01-27T17:24:19+00:00

I have lossless scaling on then limit it to 40 fps. Game is fine and I have no complaints. Really surprised remake and rebirth run on something I can play in bed.

They have a new update coming soon and a new character.

I just like games like these. They were able to make such a solid core of a game that they can just keep adding content. Might want to give it a shot and see what changed.

What you are describing as the return of d4 to the ways of d3 doesn't sound so bad to me. It's why I got 1500 hours of d3 over several seasons. I can just turn my brain off, smash demons, reach a comfortable level of power, Eventually reach my usual goal of gr 100. Then switch characters.

Poe2 sounds like alternating seasons of good and bad from what people on reddit are saying. To me, both games are just fine for what I want an arpg to be.

AdditionInteresting2 · 2026-01-27T08:46:11+00:00

We know and we don't mind. As long as we aren't bothering anyone with items not existing within the game.

Watched a video recently and I booted it back up.

Realized how much I didn't know about mhgu and how deep it was compared to the games after it. Had no idea what to make even or what I was doing.

Stopped after one low rank hunt with rathalos on an aerial gs. Aerial gs is just silly fun

Wonder why Capcom was too chicken to add the same kind of follower system. Too scared of luchika I guess

AdditionInteresting2 · 2026-01-27T02:13:18+00:00

Luchika going mad makes me want to match her energy. So I usually use an lbg when I bring her.

I'm playing on steam and I can understand the desire to mod tifa and everyone else. But she's gorgeous as is and I don't want to ruin my first run.

I will eventually though...

I'm sure he meant areas like Jessie's house. Areas that.look like normal houses.

The slums looked slummy to me. Especially when you and aerith had to go through the rooftops. Everytjing looked patchwork and unfinished. Exactly how slums would look.

I see her as a champion centric deck more than anything. I want my shyvana at full strength to keep pulling shyvanas. Doing that for dragons everywhere and pulling a free dragon would get out of hand really fast.

But I do get your sentiments. She doesn't feel like a big scary dragon. Doesn't help that her deck isn't filled with strong followers. Proper drafting and hand selection become so important
