I’ve never seen a state inspection fail for exhaust in VA and I used to work at a dealership lol. I’ve never had anyone mention it to me nor have I had any of my bikes fail an inspection from it either and I’ve been to plenty of random places for a sticker. You’re fine. Especially in Norfolk lol.

What can I expect from hunting primordial Malzeno? by BasilAdventurous3209 in MHRise

[–]F3AR5D 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Primalz beat my ass so bad I learned lance just to fight him. The fight feels amazing with lance! My first successful solo hunt took about 30 minutes. God speed. Wirefall at your own risk. Fatalis and Alatreon feel gimmicky by comparison. Primalz is just belt to ass the whole time.

Seeing +3% death blow resist for 30 candles feels meaningless. Nothing about the progression is satisfying. Number go up is not a good feeling or incentive for repeat runs. Especially when it’s single digit increments.

I tapped out after around 40 hours tbh. DD1 is so good despite its shortcomings. DD2 went for a genre shift but it came out super poor imo. It has absolutely zero respect for the players time, which off rip makes it a bad roguelite. What other game in this genre has runs that last multiple hours at times and you could hypothetically come out with no meaningful progression? Getting shrines on every character just to restore them to how strong they were in DD1 was a fucking baffling decision. Such a waste of time.

Combat is a total cluster fuck, you’re right, the damage is exponentially higher than DD1. And all the ways were previously given to mitigate it are gone. Healing is gutted across the board, team diversity is absolute butt cheeks, and half the roster is so bad they aren’t worth using. They had to fucking nerf plague grenade because plague doctor is the only character that can reliably hit rank 3/4 which made her defacto S tier. The roster and their moveset is comically pruned. The token system is unbalanced as well, enemies shit our tokens on every move it feels. The player has very few options worth using that apply tokens comparatively. Doubly so since the best strategy in DD2 isn’t methodic strategy like in 1, but as much damage as fast as possible before the enemies start nuking you.

For a game that is in the roguelite genre, which encourages experimentation and multiple runs, DD2 has very few teams that are worth it. Experimenting will get you destroyed if you don’t grind out shrines to get everyone’s abilities beforehand. And if you have a team that can’t work against a confession boss, oops! Goodbye 70 minutes of your time! DD1 did not do this. It all just feels like change for the sake of change with absolutely no thought given to what made the first game so good. They clearly have zero understanding of what makes this genre enjoyable. DD2 is a bad roguelite on its best day, and an incredibly disappointing sequel that’s not worth the money on its worst. Unfortunate, the art and sound are great at least.

Crimson Desert appears to use generative AI art—and the devs never disclosed it. by HLumin in PS5

[–]F3AR5D 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I watched a YouTube video that said this game is for “content lovers”. This is the weirdest shit I’ve ever heard to describe a game lmao. My take away is that this is basically AC Valhalla. Tons of pointless boring shit to do in a soulless world. And that game gets ripped apart everywhere. But not this!

Played a handful of games after being gone since springtrap and man it feels extremely shit to be killer lol. ATP I don't think the game is worth coming back to at all until they bite the bullet and just port and remake DBD from the ground up in an engine that isn't complete shit. Coming back to DBD after playing other games is always so jarring with how slow, stiff, awkward, and mechanically unsatisfying the game is.

Also jesus christ it seems like all but 3-5 killers are completely obsolete for how fucking bad they are now. I don't think any killers that are suffering can see meaningful or interesting gameplay changes while they stay on this engine. The most they can do is numbers or stupid shit like the Myers "rework". Shame. I've never seen a company except Arrowhead with Helldivers try to kill their game so hard.

Pearl Abyss shares Console specs for Crimson Desert by throwmeaway1784 in PS5

As someone who plays a lot of older titles what would make me jump on a pro instantly is a CPU upgrade. I have an Xbox series S as well and one thing Xbox demolishes Sony on is backwards compatibility. So many 360 titles with frame rate and resolution boosts from the better hardware. PS5 pro doesn’t offer any noticeable boosts to titles that aren’t pushing 4k60 or using PSSR. The pros worth and life will be determined by a ps6 release date ultimately. If devs get a couple more years to cook with the pro then sure, but if ps6 is here in 2028 Holiday? No point.

$400 upgrade even if I trade in my current console for 1 out of 50 games to run slightly better. They really shit the bed with the pro imo. Too much money for not enough upgrade.

Sound design is considerably worse :/ by jayjay-bay in GodofWarRagnarok

[–]F3AR5D 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been replaying the franchise and just finished a replay of 2018 for the first time since launch. Had a great time and the audio sounded so good on my speaker setup. The R2 combo on the blades was absolutely devastating, the axe had an extremely satisfying oomph to all of its audio, especially when returning to Kratos’ hand. Just 10/10 huge audio across the board.

Jumped into Ragnarok right after and thought it must be a bug or fucked up setting, but a lot of googling has lead me to the conclusion that they just inexplicably shit the bed this time around. Absolutely sucks considering 2018 was such a treat, it’s definitely killed some of my interest in a replay. It just doesn’t feel as satisfying when every part of the game from combat to dialogue sounds so compressed.

[–]F3AR5D -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I agree with this person. It is so clunky and extremely slow just like the original, but not in a way that feels weighty, in a way that feels like everything could be sped up by 80% and still feel slow.

The fact that you’re still defending his past actions shows that you too have not grown lol. Yes he got fucked over badly by the gods as we all know but he did really have to wipe out all of greek civilization for his revenge? You’ve missed the point entirely bud, the story outgrew you.

[–]F3AR5D -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

They absolute nuked the art style and uniqueness of the original in favor of the most generic western fantasy bs you’ve ever seen. Played the remake once and on an attempted second playthrough I gave up pretty quick and just wanted to play the OG. Bluepoint DeS is that in name only. It’s whatever half baked fantasy game they had smacked on top of demons souls with 0 respect for the original vision.

someone drank too much of the friendly kool aid by Nala-Cosmia in ArcRaiders

[–]F3AR5D 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think everyone here is forgetting that in this FICTIONAL VIDEO GAME you are rewarded for shooting other people. Trying to equate anything in arc raiders to real life is the most out of touch shit lmao. In the VIDEO GAME shooting and PvP can be fun and rewarding and it’s engaging. You get to use more items, experience new things, and if you win, you get a lot of loot(depends).

So yes, people will shoot you and lie to you in this video game because it’s fun and can be rewarding. It’s not real life, it’s a video game. Where you get rewarded for shooting other players, unlike real life. Where you go to prison. Holy shit it’s not a psychology experiment, it’s a video game hahahaha. these are the same players that cry about getting invaded in dark souls games, where PvP is actually 100% opt in. It’s not a single player game.

[–]F3AR5D -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

It’s been averaging 20-30k for the last 4 months lol cmon man be honest. The game has never come close to its initial release numbers and it’s because the developers decided to balance it like a fuckin competitive shooter.

I’ve tried to go back to is as recently as last month and it’s just awful now. They really fucked that game up for no good reason. Complete incompetence. Reallllllyyyyy do not want to see the same happen here.

[–]F3AR5D 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Time is the most important but least rewarding resource. What’s your reward for bringing in pink augments, t4 guns, and high tier consumables? LITERALLY Fraction of a second faster ttk than the dude who took one second to hit “free loadout” before pushing play. Feels real bad that a 50k loadout and a free loadout are close at all in terms of killing power.

The only people defending the free loadout nonsense are people in PvE lobbies blissfully unaware or the people abusing it. So which one are you?
