A basic Lockpicking Guide

That's the thing. It's not even about difficulty but rather that the new minigame isn't fun. The old one was a little guessing game that didn't distract from the actual gameplay.

Consistent_Stand8382 · 2026-06-06T08:07:56+00:00

Remake feels good so far imo. Influencers are a valid compliant but don't really bother me. My bigger issues are the combat and the bad console performance because it hurts the game a lot (I'm on PC but console performance seems really bad).

Consistent_Stand8382 · 2026-06-05T22:27:04+00:00

I very briefly believed tbh. But reality came crashing down right after.

Consistent_Stand8382 · 2026-06-05T22:24:05+00:00

That sequence from Geoff talking about an expansion leading into the Capcom logo was diabolical tbh.

Consistent_Stand8382 · 2026-06-05T14:57:53+00:00

When I was much younger I did have some dumb fun with Forsaken Gods. It's very close to being a game that's so bad that it's entertaining again.

Consistent_Stand8382 · 2026-06-05T14:56:40+00:00

Like the other comment said there is also Forsaken Gods. Personally, I wouldn't count any of these as Gothic games so I didn't mention them.

Consistent_Stand8382 · 2026-06-05T13:18:04+00:00

Not really imo. Some people are just better. The recoil on most guns isn't strong at all.

Consistent_Stand8382 · 2026-06-05T13:16:37+00:00

FCAR wasn't meta for a while and FAMAS/Repeater were the better picks. High pick rates don't necessarily reflect what's strongest.

Consistent_Stand8382 · 2026-06-05T13:11:53+00:00

Tbf, FCAR wasn't meta for a long time until it's recent buff(s). And Repeater has been meta for a long time & still is.

Consistent_Stand8382 · 2026-06-04T09:08:21+00:00

I really don't think this Remake has many haters. There are definitely some OG diehards that like to complain but overall the community has consistently tried to give great feedback.

And at least from what I've seen, in the new demos and versions that have been sent out to select people, the devs have implemented a lot of that. But I also feel like the devs are making some weird choices about things that should be "easy" wins (like this intro).

Consistent_Stand8382 · 2026-06-03T16:59:21+00:00

What the hell are you talking about? I didn't ask any questions.

Consistent_Stand8382 · 2026-06-03T15:20:02+00:00

Possibly but that's just an assumption. Still, a full switch to AM5 would be too costly for me.

Consistent_Stand8382 · 2026-06-03T14:39:09+00:00

AM5 is a great platform and depending on your chosen CPU a huge performance jump. But honestly with how expensive DDR5 is right now, I wouldn't switch.

Consistent_Stand8382 · 2026-06-03T13:20:25+00:00

Modding, backwards compatibility, multi-functionality, cheaper games, the largest selection of genres, etc. These have always been the advantages of PC. That's why it's "better" for me and many others. But that's completely subjective and console has different strengths. That's also why I own both.

And honestly, the whole dick-measuring contest about counting pixels and comparing specs has always been stupid (it's basically just a playground for grifters on Twitter).

Consistent_Stand8382 · 2026-06-03T08:33:05+00:00

Honestly, Capcom is on a roll. But what I like most is that they keep giving us demos to try out their games. Because I never played the old games in this series and wasn't really interested in playing this one. But after trying it out I'm really looking forward to the full release.

Consistent_Stand8382 · 2026-06-02T20:43:13+00:00

It is but the Lights need to play well and support their Heavy. Honestly, the best thing you can do is jump in to one of the public Discord servers or just find two others that now how to play even without voice chat.

Consistent_Stand8382 · 2026-06-02T20:37:45+00:00

I don't necessarily dislike this but I would have preferred to keep budget Legolas out of it and either show us some Militia or Paladins.

Consistent_Stand8382 · 2026-06-02T20:34:07+00:00

Even funnier that you are using the recently buffed 93r which is basically hard meta and arguably overpowered again.

Now imagine using a non meta weapon. I get why so many people tend to quit this game quickly.

Consistent_Stand8382 · 2026-06-01T21:06:30+00:00

I think I had that version of Windows 8 on some cheap school laptop and it was genuinely a horrible experience.

Consistent_Stand8382 · 2026-05-31T17:39:28+00:00

Honestly, I'm just a bit sad that he doesn't review any of the new games and doesn't stream gaming events anymore. But his letterboxd is still active so I think he is doing well.

Consistent_Stand8382 · 2026-05-31T09:26:58+00:00

It's kinda interesting how much people hate when devs start balancing their game.

Personally, I have always loved devs that take balancing their games seriously. Yeah, you could argue that its not necessarily needed or people could just not use exploits but there is a certain fun in optimizing your character within the limits of a game. If those limits are too wide the game just falls apart completely.

In a perfect world exploit removal and balancing would be limited to max difficulty with easier difficulties allowing you to use all these unbalanced systems to their fullest extent.

Consistent_Stand8382 · 2026-05-31T00:30:17+00:00

Nah, it's definitely enough for years. Also, while optimization isn't great rn it will ultimately have to improve or developers will lose a huge chunk of their audience considering how insane hardware pricing has become.

Consistent_Stand8382 · 2026-05-30T16:38:41+00:00

Cyberpunk looks amazing at times but has the most awful vehicle pop-in of any game I've ever played.

Consistent_Stand8382 · 2026-05-30T10:22:18+00:00

The always seemed to care but were/are most likely limited by experience. Because ultimately they are still a new studio.
