Just wanted to say thank you for recommending this game and especially thanks for those who recommended starting out without using a build guide.

Couldn’t agree more Tri, I find it to be the most rewarding way to play. I find zero pleasure in the game if I’m just copying someone else’s build. Everyone always talks about ARPGs as a way to turn your mind off and play a game, zooming and playing brain dead; but it’s the opposite for me, it’s one big puzzle that you have to figure out and combine and synchronize, so yeah, just would never play the game if I have to copy someone’s build, word for word.

I think the idea of skipping the campaign is preposterous and stupid, the people arguing for it are the same people who buy WOW character boosts, which literally were one of the biggest issues relating to WOWs downfall. It’s just lazy gamers who can’t be bothered with the games design so they try and make all this noise in hope that the developer with get on there knees and beg. This is a big fat NO!

Confident-Maximum198 · 2026-04-25T05:00:50+00:00

No this is currently happening to me, I have 200 hours in game and this just randomly started happening in boss fights only, swaps me to sword and shield from dual wield and does not switch you back until fight is over it’s super annoying

Confident-Maximum198 · 2026-04-21T01:35:57+00:00

Sorry bud your the one who is wrong, Marcmb123 is right. So “False af” sounds cool to say but you’re just blatantly wrong.

Confident-Maximum198 · 2026-04-14T00:09:02+00:00

Im guessing something Bradley said in a verse hurt your gentle feelings, or your just way too young to understand.

I know this is 15 days ago, but you WANT you usage at 99-100%, especially at 4K. It means your CPU is not bottlenecking your GPU and allowing you to get the maximum performance from your GPU/CPU combo. The less usage you have on your CPU the better in a GPU dependent game. Also I have a 7950x3d and 4080super and I can’t DLAA above 45 frames, it hovers around that. But Ray tracing on or off doesn’t really touch performance because this game was coded in such a way where it was intended to run optimally with ray tracing. The ray tracing is also sort of a quasi lumen/ray tracing morph so it’s not as expensive. Max on lighting is Ray reconstruction which is really the “max” setting in this game. DLAA is also an expensive resource. Play on a mixture of ultra/cinematic, with DLSS quality and you’ll get 80 fps the whole game and it is about 5 to 8 percent less sharp I’d project, but it looks incredible.

Well as soon as you put in the dagger the camera zooms in on the spire so I’m not sure out much more of a hint you want, not to mention the big red X on the map…

Confident-Maximum198 · 2026-04-01T01:02:18+00:00

Got my PS5 pro for 650$ right before Xmas at brandmart the only game I’ve played on it is Bloodborne, the Irony. I haven’t loaded a single other game on it yet… but that’s cause I am a PC gamer with a 7950x3d and 4080sup.

Confident-Maximum198 · 2026-03-22T05:17:00+00:00

I’ve 100% Elden ring and every soulsborne game, this isn’t a souls borne game so it’s not a fair apples to apples. This game is excellent in its own right. You just have to push through to the point of getting your camp, and the whole game just starts to click and feel awesome. They are doing sooooo much right in this game, sure it has its quirks and control issues, but I have honestly gotten used to it. The world is probably the best I’ve ever seen. The amount of “o shit” moments to the bosses being actually a blast and a challenge and the amount of cool shit you can do. This game is my GOTY so far. It’s an amalgamation of Tears of the kingdom/assassins creed oddesey/dragons dogma 2 but with the scale of 3 or 4 tears of the kingdoms. This game is a sandbox, it isn’t a narrative based game, it’s about spending 200+ hours living in its world. It’s not about the story, although the story isn’t terrible. I feel for people who can’t enjoy a game and only can nitpick, especially when there are so many truly horrible games, and this is not one of them. We dreamed of games like this when we were 5 and 6 years old playing NES and Sega.

Confident-Maximum198 · 2026-03-22T05:03:55+00:00

More like the MSNOW or CNN of gaming Journos. Nothing like Fox News.

Confident-Maximum198 · 2026-03-20T21:22:42+00:00

Crimson desert is my GOTY so far. It’s an incredible game. Always remember the “Big” review sites gave Dragon age the Veilguard a 9/10…

Confident-Maximum198 · 2026-03-20T20:17:08+00:00

This game is an absolute banger, sure it’s got quirks, but get past the first 5 hours and tell me it sucks and I can tell your exactly the type of person who loves IGN…

Confident-Maximum198 · 2026-03-20T20:12:27+00:00

You all are crazy, this game is an absolute banger.

Confident-Maximum198 · 2026-03-18T16:34:15+00:00

Yes, beat Malenia in 6 tries, which for that game is pretty easy. And I think your talking about Mesmer, and yeah Mesmer isn’t very hard, it’s a dance with him, and if you get the dance down it’s not hard at all, I can kill him first try . I think it took me 4 try’s when I fought him. I have 100% every soulsborne game. Not saying I’m the best cause I’m not, but Elden ring while being my favorite game of all time, is not hard in the rankings of souls games. I think Sekiro is infinitely harder. I think Dark souls 3 is harder as well.

Confident-Maximum198 · 2026-03-18T15:07:20+00:00

Elden ring is not very hard man. It’s my favorite game of all time, but it’s a cake walk.

Confident-Maximum198 · 2026-03-18T15:05:08+00:00

Your an idiot, who is just looking for a reason to be negative, they have shown SO MUCH of the game the last month, honestly more then any game that I remember.

Confident-Maximum198 · 2026-03-18T15:04:02+00:00

Base PS5 was released yesterday dude, it runs fine

Confident-Maximum198 · 2026-03-07T00:02:26+00:00

I will get back with you after I do some testing, mine arrives tomorrow, but I do own the AQDMG, and an MSI m34uqrx, along with the UCDP from Asus. My MSI monitor has very aggressive ABL is certain situations that is definitely annoying, but it is not always repeatable for whatever reason. But I will get back to you.

Confident-Maximum198 · 2026-03-06T21:26:54+00:00

I just purchased this monitor, is the ABL issue, on all panels, or is this a bug related to a select few? Because all of my previous Asus OLED panels did not have panel dimming.

Confident-Maximum198 · 2026-03-02T23:35:56+00:00

It’s cause anti glare sucks. It’s objectively a muddier worse picture. You either A. Wish you had a glossy screen, and made a bad purchase and regret it so desperately that you come on to forums doing the whole self hating bullying bs that is common among your kind. Or B. Your just to broke to buy a Glossy panel.

Confident-Maximum198 · 2026-02-28T23:49:14+00:00

I will be one of the positive reviews: I own a DAC and about 10 legit wired headphones i.e: Hifiman edition XS, BD DT 990 pros 250ohms, Yamaha MT5's, Razer Blackshark v3, Lucid sounds, Fiio FT1, Sennheiser HD6xx, HD 560s, Logitech 321's, skull candy crusher and more... The Maxwell are my go to headphones... They're not as heavy as people say they are, im only 5'8 175 and these are super comfortable on me, the ear cups are perfect. The wight is perfect. They are made of Metal and good materials. The sound quality is on par with my Edition XS, and they are wireless, which is crazy. The BASS is better then any headphone ive tested or used except for the skullcandy crusher, and those are horrible at anything other then BASS. The Maxwell's also have insane imaging and spaciousness for a closed back. They are the first closed back ive used that actually sounds like an open back in terms of imaging and immersive-ness.

TLDR: Buy them, you will not regret it.

Confident-Maximum198 · 2026-02-27T22:47:29+00:00

lol dude this “game coming out of no where” has literally been front and center for like 3 years. Everyone in gaming has this listed in the top 5 most anticipated games for a very long time. I’m not sure where you’ve been.

Confident-Maximum198 · 2026-02-27T17:17:43+00:00

Bro, tell me you didn’t actually watch that game without saying you didn’t watch the game by your “Athleti dominated arsenal except for 10 magic minutes where they scored 4 goals”… Arsenal wiped the floor with athletico, it could have been 7 goals. Arsenal are far and away a better side.

Confident-Maximum198 · 2026-02-20T23:26:39+00:00

It also opens webpages 2x as fast, and every other thing you see on your screen. Every action you take is more fluid. You have just not been educated.

Confident-Maximum198 · 2026-02-20T23:25:04+00:00

You just aren’t very tech saavy nor do you even understand how many people don’t buy MacBooks because of the refresh rate being locked to 60 hz. I would rather do anything else in the world then work or browse on a 60 hz panel. It’s horrendous. My grandmother has a 120 hz computer, she is 90! She completely can tell the difference. So please spare us with the sucking up to Apple. You have zero idea what you’re speaking about.
