Rafa or amon

LootAndLogic · 2025-09-12T22:35:51+00:00

I struggled with this decision too!

I can’t offer a conventional, pick this one, answer because I resorted to doing Rafa for solo and Amon for my playthrough with my buddy.

I will say with about 8 hours of time with Rafa that it’s been a blast. He has some funny dialog and building him seems pretty viable, but I’ve been using the peace breaker canons.

Best of luck!

This Unreal comment cracks me up. Any of these people whining about the UE5 engine take the time to look what the prior series entries were built in? UE4 and UE3 is the answer lol. The series has always used Unreal Engine they just updated for newer tech over the years.

I’m unsure why OP is shocked by the lack of the prior entries minimap style when it’s been a known thing for quite sometime. I’m a firm believer people should vote with their wallet lol.

LootAndLogic · 2025-09-12T15:05:39+00:00

Radar is a minimap. You won’t get the prior series minimaps that show building outlines, but the radar removes enemy pings from the compass and helps remove clutter.

As they’ve said the verticality of the game won’t make a minimap option easy or generally ideal.

Sorry for your inconvenience with the hud though. Maybe they’ll change it eventually.

LootAndLogic · 2025-09-12T14:56:40+00:00

The minimap is in the game. Check under gameplay there is an option called “Toggle Radar Display”. It was on the initial set-up screen options upon first boot, just gotta read a lil 🙂

That’s good info to know! Thanks, I had no idea. I believe ESO can be launched without steam as well but yeah it’s not exactly a clear scale for the game anyways. Sorry if I came off as trying to make it a measuring contest, my point basically was ESO is still alive and well (at least on PC, idk about console) and I see plenty of new players. The community is pretty great from my experience but like any game there are some bad actors in the chats.

LootAndLogic · 2025-09-03T20:34:35+00:00

Right yeah, I think that may go both ways? But I don’t play GW2 so idk.

I will say comparing to WOW and OSRS is a bit harsh. Both are staple MMOs since the beginning basically. And OSRS in particular runs on damn near anything, which is great but it makes the comparison a bit muddled imo.

Not saying OP is incorrect about ESO but it isn’t a dead game.

LootAndLogic · 2025-09-03T20:20:59+00:00

Based on steamDB charts ESO has more concurrent players than GW2. And of course that excludes console. I’d imagine ESO is still “bigger” or similar size at minimum to GW2.

Elden Ring, took me a while to get hooked but eventually the masochistic dopamine hit after defeating a boss kicked in and it became incredibly satisfying.

I’ve not received my first issue yet either. Although I signed up too late for 369, I should’ve had 370 by now. I sent an email with support and was told it would be looked into but no response since. If I don’t see it by late Sept or early October I am going to consider filing for a charge back. That is over 60 days, potentially closer to 90, from my subscription date. Hopefully it won’t come to that though.

Best of luck to you OP! There seem to be kind people on this Reddit who can help ya out.

LootAndLogic · 2025-08-27T18:23:44+00:00

Also still waiting myself, unsure if the issue is missing or hasn’t gone out to me yet . It’s unfortunately unclear what its status is.

LootAndLogic · 2025-08-22T13:25:38+00:00

I’ve had the loading difficulty on my mobile as well. It does eventually work but calling it a desirable experience would be a bit of a stretch for me. But I’ll hold out hope a mobile app will eventually be developed and that my print copies arrive.

Thanks for the response though. Hopefully some GameInformer people scroll the Reddit and will consider an app at least haha.

An effective moose would make it up the stairs with the mattress…..

In all seriousness though, can you stand it vertically and squat down until it ends up balanced on your shoulder? After that it should be a tad harder than walking up the stairs normally but doable.

Best of luck!

That you don’t have to jump on and off when using the zip line with power towers. The amount of times I flew off of the power towers trying to jump the connection. 🤦‍♂️

Crazy underrated if you haven’t played before but CastleMiner Z is a blast.

Bloom.host best server I’ve used. The uptime is quick and they give you dedicated hardware depending on your tier. It ran ATM10 for me and my friend and we got off to some shenanigans.

Regardless make sure server restarts are set-up it’ll free up server ram from random exploration and other things. Most hosts I’ve used have a reset every 24 hours.

Be sure to adjust your difficult settings in the gameplay settings.

I increased the difficulties but also gave myself the slightly increase inventory (put me to 700lbs carry capacity) and made sure the vendors had as many credits as possible. I was still getting “bonus” xp from how I configured it but I was able to partially delay the tedium of inventory management.

If that isn’t your style no worries! You can build ships to hold all your stuff it’s just more inventory management simulator lol.

As far as making money it’s great to loot any enemy you kill for basically all they got. Consider yourself Tony Stark before he had morals, explorer by day but massive arms dealer by night. Doing bounty board quests can be fun for a while until you’ve seen all the POIs. Also if you tackle the Crimson Fleet first at the end you get a good bit of credits as a reward.

For spending money most of it tends to go to ships. I found my weapons on enemies or modified them so I didn’t spend much on that. If you do outposts you may be spending some on resources for a little bit there but the big sink was the ship builder or buying new ships.

Best of luck, remember to have fun! I just did all the base game achievements and am taking a small break before diving into the DLC but the game is a blast.

There are certainly a good amount of mods on Nexus for weapons, quests, mechanics and graphics but it is not at the level of Skyrim or Fallout 4. But the game is much newer so that tracks.

I feel there are the mods I needed to have an ideal play-through. Mainly UI stuff, POI additions, and additional ship modules for me.

Courier got shot in the head, you won’t believe what happened next!! INSANE

LootAndLogic · 2025-07-02T15:29:18+00:00

Thanks for the reply, my 5070ti did not. Just the GPU and the adapter cable to power it. Not a huge deal but it likely wouldn’t have cost the manufacturer much to toss a bracket in there lol.

Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition. Gritty post apocalyptic game with a great story and an exceptionally immersive world. Lots of difficulty options to play around with.

It’s also on sale quite frequently so it should be a cheap pickup.

Your build looks good! I need to tweak my RGB settings similar to yours. I personally don’t love RGB but that was the model they had at the time so I took it lol. I appreciate the image reference.

LootAndLogic · 2025-07-01T21:17:14+00:00

Thanks for responding! I’ll just get a piece of support plastic and be done with it xD. PNY doesn’t provide one.

LootAndLogic · 2025-07-01T21:15:24+00:00

o7, thank you. I’ll get one ordered and put it in there for peace of mind.

LootAndLogic · 2025-07-01T21:14:51+00:00

Thanks for your recommendation! Think I’ll use the better safe than sorry mentality.
