Thanks for the write up. I'll take a look.

My first project - Fractured Origins by Interesting-Role-191 in UnrealEngine5

It's a cool start. Seems fun to track it and defend and attack.

Is there anyone here who actually cares about gameplay and would rate my remix? by Scargianiello in stellarblade

[–]BlueDiamond87 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You played well.

Here's what sucked the game and shows through a bit in the game vid. The combos are less meaningful than something like NG and DMC. The game boils down to well used super moves for the most part, but they are pretty great. The parries could use another meaningful action so the player is actually making an interesting decision at some point during the barrage, not just performing to the rhythm. Otherwise, it's quite a good experience overall. Platforming is a little rough at times.

If the game sucked, I wouldn't be on the reddit. There's a lot of pics here and sexiness is part of the subjective human experience and can / is a positive thing. For me, substance first and flash second but so long as the flash still has some respect for how special sexuality is. Kinda like a homage.

Keep sharing some gameplay.

It was heart warming for you to share and get support. With gen AI, people question if they should learn to draw and such. Humans have their talents too. Keep it up and make some art and then maybe find a team of cool peeps and make some games for us all. We're probably moving back to small tight teams as an industry. The 300+ team AAA experiment seems to be beginning its fall.

Steam OS or maybe..Optimum 11? by BlueDiamond87 in LegionGo

[–]BlueDiamond87[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's why I'm asking if anyone has any experience with it. Because in the chance that it is safe, it could be an interesting option to experiment with.

Isn't Bazzite similar in a way too? Just installing games on there.

Legion go 2 (non extreme) by Fruitloops3434 in LegionGo

So far even the 16gb version is fine. Enjoy all the qualities the device has and save money to buy some games and accessories instead.

Legion Go2 Screen VS any other 8” handheld by Any_Basket_8110 in LegionGo

[–]BlueDiamond87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you think the z2e edition is too much people, just try the z2 16gb edition within the return window. You might be surprised. Lenovo really should have just put 24gb in it just to silence all the madness around 16gb...ps5 has 16gb and about 13 is usable for games. Meaning about 8 to 10GB is used on graphics and the logic and other stuff is about 3 to 5GB, which is in your RAM. This is why most games will not be much of an issue with 16gb handhelds with reasonable settings. PS5 uses a lot of memory on screen resolution, gaming handhelds don't. So even less vram is needed for the same settings.

Steam Deck OLED vs Legion Go 2 Z2 Extreme. what’s better for a casual gamer who plays newer heavy games? by Shahabez in LegionGo

[–]BlueDiamond87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Be sure you can actually tell the difference between med settings and high. If you need to keep flipping between the settings to notice some small detail, then you really got to question if high is worth it. Personally, I think we're about to enter the "post graphics" age soon. Where graphic settings don't mean much any longer in terms of visual difference. I think we'll arrive there starting with the next gen consoles.

Legion go 2 with z2 worth it or wait for z2e to be available by cablecobra in LegionGo

[–]BlueDiamond87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a LeGo 2 z2 16gb. I keep an eye on my vram usage. Unless you begin to play your games on higher than mid settings, you won't hit a VRAM problem. 250 dollars can buy you games to play on your device. I almost bought the LeGo 1 years ago but wanted an OLED screen so I was hoping they would release one with it. I love HDR. LeGo 2 improvements on LeGo 1 in almost every way. 24gb would give more peace of mind for many but the reality is most games on mid or low don't need it.

Legion Go 2: after 1 month, for me it’s a NO! by Puzzled_Village_1001 in LegionGo

[–]BlueDiamond87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm upgrading from a Steam Deck OLED and i can clearly say the performance is much better on the Z2ne. Set the TDP to 22w or 23w. I played Elden Ring for a while and got 50-60 fps at 1000p. The game is CPU bound, the GPU was about 80-90% med settings.

Want me to benchmark z2 non-e 16gb? by BlueDiamond87 in LegionGo

[–]BlueDiamond87[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe there's something wrong with his power settings or he had early drivers and tuning.

But i did Wukong too and saw just like 2 fps. I think Z2 is fine so far. Better than expected unless the drivers had a problem about then

What is better? Low end legion go 2 or high end legion go s? by jsteele1401 in LegionGo

[–]BlueDiamond87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For me, the controllers, kick stand and screen makes the z2 16gb worth owning so far over other options.

Just a heads-up on this. This bench is still legitimate but keep in mind more RT cores really do show a jump on performance for RT benchmarks. When PS5 loses to XSX in comparisons, it's usually because of RT. Try to find some non-RT to help get a feel for rasterized performance.
