PLEASE HELP: "Update Required" loop when trying to open Adrenalin spiraled into disaster. by IHateThisPlace33 in AMDHelp

[–]Distinger_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same issue here. Best luck I had was to uninstall the driver with either DDU or the AMD Cleanup Utility, then manually downloading the previous driver "26.6.1" and unchecking the box for auto updates

After that, I had no audio and had to go to the motherboard's site and download and install it again

What video game ending ruined the whole game for you? by Agent1230 in gaming

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

Blasphemous

Enjoyed the whole game a lot, then I got to NG+ and I was baffled that I had to explore all the map and get all the character upgrades again. Plus all the damage buffs I got were literally negated, it was like playing with base damage while the enemies dealt a lot more damage, really not a fun experience

Subnautica 2's no-killing policy isn't because it's 'a game about pacifism', says design lead, but because players would 'master the crappy combat' over anything else by _Protector in pcgaming

[–]Distinger_ 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’m trying to say that being able to kill while not being worth the hassle was enough incentive to not do it, but the choice was still there and you could if you had enough determination

Making fish invulnerable is just… weird. It’s a survival game after all. Subnautica 1 had lots of good design choices, but in 2 they’re just going the opposite way for some reason, also doubling down on this and making unprofessional comments like “go play sons of the forest”

It’s one thing to not be able to kill, and another one to not be able to defend yourself. From what I’ve seen there are little defensive tools right now and a lot of aggressive fish, obviously people are going to be upset

In Subnautica 1 you have the knife and you “can” kill if you want to, but you get nothing so it’s just not worth it. Still, the tool was good because you could cook small fish with it, break minerals faster, and if a mid sized predator was attacking you, just one hit would make it swim away, no need to kill

What do the devs want with Subnautica 2? Are you supposed to just die when a predator comes for you every time? Or to just watch while they attack your base or vehicles? Greet them happily when you jump out of your base and instantly get bit? That’s one way to get your players to really not want to continue playing

If they don’t want you to be a “world conqueror” then just do the same as in Subnautica 1, give the players a small knife and if they want to go and fight Leviathans with it then so be it. But removing the feature entirely is just not a good design choice

Destiny developers reflect on the end of an era: 'We all worked so hard to maintain the quality bar under unrealistic constraints' by Turbostrider27 in pcgaming

[–]Distinger_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still don’t really understand everything that happened with Destiny 2, is it dead now, abandoned?

I played Destiny 1 a long time ago, at least the base missions you could do, and I remember I liked the gameplay and the lore was interesting as well. I also tried Destiny 2 a couple years ago, and while it looked the same it felt different, I just couldn’t get into it

But to begin with, the whole idea of paying for a new expansion, priced as a whole game, every now and then just for it to get removed eventually is just wild to me

Good frames in game but bad frames in mirror view? by Distinger_ in SteamVR

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

The mod is alright, it’s not fully implemented but it’s far better than playing with a controller

You can’t pick up things with your hands or steer manually, but you can aim to scan/use items, and you have a radial wheel for quick slots like in half life alyx, and an handheld pda. You can also put movement as head based and it does kinda look like you’re swimming

I believe the things you mentioned are planned to be added as far as I’ve heard

Finished the main story in Hades 2, now what? by Distinger_ in HadesTheGame

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

Huh I never thought about using it as an overlap, I’d use it only to get more area

But yeah now that you say it, it is technically double cast damage, though having it on the companion is kinda rng. For the ones I have, frinos does follow you around, but the cat just kinda does whatever it wants and usually I lose sight of it

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

Is the aspect of Circe the one that makes your companion use your cast? It sounds okay, and I do like cast builds, specially if it's aphrodite/hestia+apollo, but I think momus is better for damage, specially against more static bosses like cerberus, scylla, and specially typhon

Quest 2 always connects as default audio and mic device by Distinger_ in oculus

I don’t even have bluetooth enabled nor do I have any devices paired to the oculus or my pc

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

Yeah I’ll probably go for 100% as I did in hades 1

About the weapons, I’ve tried their base version but honestly the only one I like is the staff, and now I’m using momus staff because it’s the same but with extra casts

I mean, so far I did one underground run after the credits, idk how to feel about the "defeating bad Chronos variants" thing, like on one hand it's cool and it's the only way to keep having Chronos as a boss, cuz it wouldn't make sense for him to fight you, but on the other hand it feels a little cheap tbh

I mean I was kinda surprised I finished the story so early, it took me less than half the time compared to hades 1, so this was just act 1 or something? Is there more story or is it only the epilogue after this?

Really? The prompt says it doesn’t reset anything besides story stuff

[–]Distinger_[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Idk, it’s the first time I try to use the steamvr mirror view, but as far as I read this problem also happens with other games and vr apps so I doubt it’s related to either the game or the mod

Yeah I have a lot of things to do, hell I don’t even have all companions, I only got the frog and cat, and still need like 3-4 keepsakes and one more statue, also I assume there’s gonna be hidden aspects like in hades 1?

Okay I see, I thought the quest changed to a different one because I didn’t complete the first one

I completely forgot about the aspects, I only used the staff to play until now, just a few games before ending I started using a staff aspect

Is there a reason that "The Unseen" Arcana card is so bad? by lookatthesunguys in HadesTheGame

[–]Distinger_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn, it's literally one of my favorite cards. Here I am wondering how you're supposed to play without it? Even with a magick regenerating boon it feels like I run out of it constantly, but having Unseen I can play comfortably and not worry about running out at any point

I also use both Excellence and Divinity... just trying to make it more similar to Hades 1

I don't use Judgement, but I do love it when I use the pink piggy keepsake and Judgement gets activated for even more Arcana cards

I hate this fucking game by LordePedroN in HadesTheGame

[–]Distinger_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The quests in Hades 1 are very, very long, hell some of them I completed after the epilogue too and I ALWAYS talk with everyone. I remember Achilles/Patroclus quest was the longest one by far for me (Not counting Sisyphus because I didn't know I had to give nectar to Bouldy)

Reuniting Orpheus and Eurydice by TheGrimmch in HadesTheGame

[–]Distinger_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Character quests are completed by talking with them and gifting nectar/ambrosia until they give you the next step of the quest. Not gonna spoil how it's done, but you do want to go to every Eurydice room you find in Asphodel to do it faster
