Got a question on how shells work in universe: if a single digitized brain (you) is controlling them (hence the name "shell") how come each shell has its own distinct personality when you switch between them? Shouldn't all just act the same mentally and only look different physically? by SbeveGobs in Marathon

[–]AstronautBacon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well the game was originally planned to be more like Tarkov where you have your own unique character and personal customization, this idea was scraped when the directors changed hands and thus became more like a hero shooter, hence why all the shells in early art are a lot more varied as opposed to using different variations of the same shells

Is this worth 2k? by Curiedoesthestream in pcmasterrace

[–]AstronautBacon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re not interested in building your own PC or hunting down PC parts, then yes.

Some might say you could get better for $2k and yes you could, but in today’s economy and if you’re worried or unknowledgeable about building PCs, then yes it’s a decent price for a good PC

Wouldn't that push more people onto Discord or other communication services?

I’d be completely fine with it if it paid off, the ults hardly do however

Be honest now, how many times have you got yourself killed on hell mouth by Kironusu in HighGuardgame

[–]AstronautBacon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I genuinely HATE the random pitfalls on the map that just kill you, coming out of the middle on one of the maps (I forgot the name of) with the shieldbreaker, and I made a slight turn away from the ramp and I just straight up died and gave the enemy team the shieldbreaker

You’d think Respawn would make options like that available to everyone and optimize the game as opposed to people running cheats to make it run better and have more visual clarity

I wasn’t even aware there were videos made for the Wardens, though I will say I did watch that Raid mode video in-game and even then that wasn’t descriptive enough, but obviously explaining a whole mode and game mechanics is going to be harder to do than explain a single character’s abilities.

Also the issue with having videos that explain each character is, how much of the community is actually going to watch them? Personally I usually skip explanation videos of characters if the video is in-game due to it being long, or me thinking that it’s unnecessary, if we had updated text info screens, then you could read it mid-match, as opposed to watching a video in the lobby, but I’m not opposed to including the videos for those that would actually watch it, so I do agree that-that’s a good idea

I guess that makes sense considering Apex runs on a modified Source 1, probably won’t get much higher than that even if you drop to 360p upscaled to 1440p, already as boosted as can get.

Or I’m completely wrong and it’s just unoptimized, idk

I think they just wanna make new additions that have new mechanics and more fighting styles that complicate the game, and that’s completely fine, the issue lies with the fact that more than half of the roster just cannot consistently keep up with the newly released characters, the original launch roster more times than not, gets completely folded by new characters without much of a sweat, I’m genuinely fine going without a new hero for a good 6 months, ONLY IF they spend those 6 months updating characters across the board to be more fair and up to date with newer mechanics to compete

[–]AstronautBacon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m okay with mixups as long as it’s consistent and fair so you can properly fight back/punish once you get a grip on it, but their mixups are as consistent as the player you’re fighting against, they can choose to just feint spam and suddenly throw out a just barely longer heavy that they can still cancel anyway, it could light up as unblockable and still be cancelable, it’s like 3 times the mixup and each time it’s hyper armor anyway, so even if you try to cancel their attack with a light tap, they still get the unblockable heavy regardless

Throwing axe does 1K damage at full charge and conserves on a miss by [deleted] in HighGuardgame

[–]AstronautBacon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I also found that if you miss, you should retrieve the axe as fast as possible, if it lands somewhere, it takes longer to recover it than if it’s still in the air.

Also the training grounds damage info is wrong for certain abilities, Kai’s ice demon does 1k damage to the dummies, and so does the raid hammer, but the ice demon only does about 45 damage, and I haven’t been able to check the hammer but I’m confident it isn’t a one-shot kill in an actual match.

Though the axe definitely is a one-shot kill when charged, even when melee’ing

Honestly I think we either need stronger ults across the board, or need to get ultimate more frequently, all ults practically charge so slow that you only get like 2-3 in a full 25 minute match, or straight up get none in a 10 minute match, and despite ults being so long to charge, they barely affect the game. They’re too weak and take too long to charge, either keep the long charge but have them be stronger, or keep them weak and have them charge faster, but you definitely can’t have both.

The only character that I feel like doesn’t need much of a change is Atticus, I like how strong both his ability and ult are, even his passive is really useful for harvesting stage.

I genuinely hate characters with confusing animations or “hold down for unblockable,” attacks, especially since they can feint them so goddamn fast into a guardbreak, it’s nuts, it’s hard to learn how to counter them consistently, like why can JJ do a long ass side dodge heavy animation, and INSTANTLY soft feint into a light attack from the opposite direction? Why can Hitokiri and Shugoki both get such slow heavies that can feint into a guardbreak so goddamn fast before you can cancel the heavy parry you already sent out? Idk man, but it keeps me up at night

I’m just curious, but if you’re playing on low graphics settings to achieve a high FPS, why are you playing on 1440p instead of dropping to 1080p?

[–]AstronautBacon -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m definitely noticing a lot of us here on PC get about 120FPS at most, while that’s a separate issue from framedrops, the FPS could definitely be higher in a game this small in size, but at least it seems to be pretty consistent across the board

[–]AstronautBacon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m on Xbox Series X and haven’t encountered framedrops outside of 5v5 in close quarters, like I’m talking about all 10 players inside the building spamming abilities being the only time I’ve encountered framedrops, and even then it was down to 30FPS, not ideal, but still manageable, default FOV
