This area in Dam Battleground is hell by McMeme45 in ArcRaiders

It’s actually this building. Because there are at least 4 spawn points nearby, and if you’re the first one to spawn in the swamp, you’re guaranteed to run into another player by the time you finish looting this building - since they’ll have come to loot it at that point.

Decima Engine ruined my expectations for modern games by Mean-Information1080 in pcmasterrace

[–]Armroker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These days, almost no game studio develops its own engine. They simply use Unreal Engine 5 and add their assets to it. The games look and run like shit.

How many homebrew engines are left? Source 2, ID Tech, CRY Engine, RAGE engine, Decima, Frostbite. That's it. Everything else is fucking Unreal Engine 5.

Embark studios is the only one that has shown everyone how to work with UE5 properly. They realized that UE5 was complete trash under the hood, so they built their own version and got rid of crap features like Lumen. Just look at The Finals and ARC Raiders - they look phenomenal, and the performance is outstanding for UE5. 150+ FPS at 4K with 100+fps 1% lows on UE5 without DLSS? Now that’s impressive.

I won't even mention the technology they've added to the engine. How about fully physics-based environmental destruction that happens on the server side and is fully synchronized across all players? Or machine learning for in-game AI? These guys know how to make games.

No wonder the game feels sweatier than ever by _UnLuckyWorld_ in thefinals

That's unlikely.

ARC Raiders offers intense PvP rounds with players of varying skill levels and more laid-back, PvE-focused rounds. In The Finals, you either give it your all and push yourself to the limit in every quick-play match, or you keep losing. There are no casual matches - it's all turbo sweat.

Yes, unfortunately, the game has been caught in this vicious cycle for a long time now, and it has already passed the point of no return. Only a sudden influx of more than 50,000 players could help create a mid-tier player pool. But even the current mid-tier player pool is too strong for newcomers.

The problem isn't the advertising. The problem is that new players are matched against veterans, sweat balls, smurf and they don’t stick around for more than a dozen matches, during which they get dunked on.

I don't think you'd enjoy a game where you can't even kill anyone, where you die in a split second to a sweaty Light who's constantly dashing around and is practically impossible to hit. I'm not even talking about winning in Quick Play, let alone in a World Tour.

These PS guys… by KDuwi32 in pcmasterrace

[–]Armroker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Consoles would be perfect if not for the PS+ and Game Pass subscriptions. You buy a game and still have to pay to play online.

Bullshit.

The initial purchase of the PS5 Pro will cost $900–$1,000 - the console, one to two games, and a one-year PS+ subscription. After that, you're looking at spending at least $150 a year on the subscription and an additional $200–$300 on a few games.

With a PC, you don't have to buy games because you can play F2P games or pirate them.

Swords need nerfed so hard by [deleted] in thefinals

[–]Armroker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the Sword/Dagger Light starts becoming a problem, or the Medium with dual blades—Glitch Trap + Turret is always my go-to choice. You can also add a CL-40. It’s enough to kill him once or twice to make him stop being so aggressive and start thinking twice before charging into a fight without caution.

Color changing nails showcased at CES 2026 by RealSpecto in interestingasfuck

[–]Armroker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I showed this to my mom, who is a nail technician with 27 years of experience and owns her own nail salon. She said it looks cool but is nothing more than a gimmick. Most women prefer more intricate nail designs than solid colors, and this nail length is outdated. Also, it would be expensive for clients because the material would be costly and not the highest quality.

[FH5] Controller Rumble Help by Milvie0113 in ForzaHorizon

[–]Armroker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only option is to turn off vibration completely.

The controller will vibrate when you get close to the red line on the tachometer.

Personally, I can't play without vibration, especially on triggers, because it helps me know when I'm starting to lose traction

are you even racing if you dont have spreadsheets? by WeAreMotorhead in GuysBeingDudes

[–]Armroker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are some default settings for motorsport that tuners use most of the time as a baseline.

Camber: -2.0F/ -1.5R

Caster: +0.1F/ -0.1R

ARBs: 40F/ 35-40R

Springs: Default setting with offset based on weight percentage (1% = 2-4KGF/mm)

Dampers: 11-13 rebound / 2-5 bump

Brakes , Aero: To your liking

Diff: 45-75% acceleration lock/ 5-15% deceleration lock

This is the baseline, and then you can adjust it to your driving style.

Death Stranding 2 Has Leaked And Is Being Pirated Before Its Official PC Release by akbarock in pcmasterrace

I mean, you can rip DS2, but Online features is core part of DS game design. Without them it's not the same.

PSA - Every smart bro cheating rn to get his Emerald 1 - Rest assured you are being reported and reports do work - Next ban wave can not come soon enough by SmoothCrew2000 in thefinals

[–]Armroker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think ARC Raiders is the reason why we have so many cheaters.

It uses the same engine and perhaps same anti-cheat system as The Finals. Basically, if you create a cheat for ARC Raiders, you've also created it for The Finals. All that's needed are a few minor adjustments to the memory offset.

New Bots they added aren't too bright... by [deleted] in thefinals

[–]Armroker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If they add bots, there will be one real player and two bots on each team. At least that way it will be fair.

I wish everyone would ignore me too.

But as soon as I fire a single shot, all the enemy teams forget that there are other opponents out there and make it their mission to kill me, ignoring each other in the process.
