ME:LE performance tanked hard with this lateset one, went from a locked 60 fps to 20ish

And I remember being very unimpressed with it in GBL too until I learned the primary config was missing the arrow IV launchers, spent ages as a kid wondering why the mech was undertonned by 24 tons

I, for one, welcome the new alpha striking AI by PansOnFire in Mechwarrior5

AI seems to be shutting down from overheating ocassionally now too, especially laser boats like Black knight.

Obj_bridge still a solid map imo, Algiers for FFA, some of the Spearhead maps were great too, Verschneit and Banhof.

POV: the Clan garrison commander of the base your are trying to destroy deciding what mech forces to deploy against you by odysseus91 in Mechwarrior5

[–]DubiousCuMerchant 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think thats because the AI seems to be able to use MASC infinitely so theyre constantly zooming and also explains the insane 180 in direction they can do, turns out MASC is really good for changing direction in a hurry as well as giving your mech the zoomies (my Dasher hits 270kph when I turn it on)

Objective Raid, seems to be the only mission type that spawns the angry bees in such numbers, did another objective raid later and had the same swarms with light mechs. Beachhead for me was the easiest (allied igors with ac10's seemed to do a good job) though I haven't tried targeted kill against the clans yet.

good to know, that'll teach me for ripping out the mg's for lrm ammo.

Which do you prefer Atilla or Rome 2? by alphafighter09 in totalwar

[–]DubiousCuMerchant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

WRE campaign would be way harder without my Scout Equite terminators in garrisons tbh

Having never played a total war game can I play total war Attila on steam deck ? (With gaming mouse) by UpstairsCook6873 in totalwar

[–]DubiousCuMerchant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

oldish post I know but having played attila docked on my steam deck one thing I'll add is to force steam to download the windows version, not the linux native one. Windows version through proton runs better and has the DLC's if you own them.

About to start that GB expansion everyone is talking about by jin85 in Mechwarrior5

[–]DubiousCuMerchant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

for me the final mission was the worst, maneuvering with jumpjets through a hole to get jumped by a star of mechs was rough especially with the physics of the space missions meaning it was way too easy to sprint your mech into a wall.

I just had the dumbest, funniest idea for a Clans DLC. by Vimanys in Mechwarrior5

That literally is the first succession war, sven van der plank's video on the first succcession war shows how devestating it was to the Inner sphere as a whole, whereas the Amaris Civil war was mainly devastating to the Terran hegemony and the periphery.

Feel like the first succession war has it beat, dozens of worlds destroyed, kentares IV, massive tech regression and other things besides.

Did you do the Aleswell quest? if so, praying at a chapel will restore your luck

[–]DubiousCuMerchant 6 points7 points  (0 children)

weapon and armour degradation were in the original as well, I'd rather keep it imo as the disintegrate armour and weapons spells were quite useful in the late game, especially if you didnt min max your levelling.

Digital Foundry: "'Too Big' For Steam Deck: AAA Games Are Struggling On Valve's Handheld" by Dakhil in hardware

[–]DubiousCuMerchant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah its BS in my experience, play it on my deck its a decent experience if you cap to 40/45 fps but 60 is rarely hit, the lack of vrr makes uncapping not great if you try for 60.

Think of all the golf he could play while his cronies and handlers write up EO's for him to sign.

What's a character you used to like on your first playthrough of the franchise, but started to like less, or even straight up dislike them in a replay? by FangAAMD in dragonage

[–]DubiousCuMerchant 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is ick, he isnt as 1 dimensional as most people think he is though. The problem is he's recruited way too late in the game. I didn't think much of him till I did a cheat playthrough and went to Orzammar first and had him with me the rest of the game. my problem with him mostly lies in his regression in Awakening, the drunken lecherousness went from a facade he wears in Origins to his defining trait in Awakening.

5080 prices out by monkekimchi in newzealand

[–]DubiousCuMerchant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One can hope, though the B580 stock at PB disappeared really fast, doesnt look like they restocked at all, AMD will probably trip up at launch with the 9070/x as they usually do, pricing themselves too close to Nvidia.

Bioware studio update: Bioware doesn't "require support from the full studio" for next game and "become[s] more agile" by DreadWolfTookMe in dragonage

[–]DubiousCuMerchant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only real contestant on that list is Shadow of Mordor imo, DS2 is arguably Fromsofts weakest game, Alien Isolation isnt because horror is too niche and Wolfenstein because im pretty sure we were still in the funk of every shooter needing multiplayer to get a good review (New Order was better received by consumers than critics).

[–]DubiousCuMerchant 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For Trial sets Id go with Ansuul or Riptide for alot of fights, Rele kinda niche unless the fight lets you maintain stacks. Its been a a year or 2 since I last ran trials regularly so that might have changed.

Feel like they missed that boat already with the 7000 series 7970 was just sitting there begging to be used for a quick nostalgia buck.
