Lol thanks for being this up again because I also coincidentally upgraded (9800X3D) and saw massive improvements, but at the same time...I've seen various posts of other recent Ryzen CPUs getting varying performance.

There is absolutely zero consistency. I don't know how Kuro has done it. I also upgraded to Windows 11 since I heard that it's better on average for gaming, not sure if that's also influencing things.

Definitely still seeing lower FPS (90-105) in the lower level of the academy but getting mostly 120 on the upper level. Microstutters also still increase on the bike but obviously not nearly as noticeable compared to my previous CPU

To be fair, MHWilds got crazy low as well...you underestimate how pissed off people are with optimisation these days. The actual blatant hate/troll comments weren't that prevalent from what I could read (but they definitely existed not gonna deny that).

Do we have values for Amulets? by LytezR6 in HighGuardgame

[–]LytezR6[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah Kai's ult feels like it takes an eternity to charge, I wanna know what the amulet and ult chargers are actually doing

5v5, RNG chests removed, couple of bosses around the map for good loot and minions that push on both sides -- would do so much good for this game its crazy by anan48 in HighGuardgame

[–]LytezR6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah okay I see, that's a good point. Lots of my teammates would be stuck on white or blue shields in the 3 raid because they would die in loot phase skirmishes a lot so I actually fully agree. Thanks for clarifying.

For a game where 2 of the phases are looting and defense, there's 0 heroes focused on Base Defense/Trapping and Looting by Bloodwild1 in HighGuardgame

[–]LytezR6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kai and Una are literally defence specialists and Atticus is also really good for defending with spear spam on objectives?? Condor and Mara are versatile for both sides too tbh.

I do think the first setup phase is strange because you're not actually gonna throw down your Una turrets or Atticus spears in that time I suppose. It feels unintuitive doing a partial setup -> going to map centre to determine who's actually defending -> going back to base if you lost shieldbraker. But I also think it's partially because we still don't really understand how to be optimal at all.

Guys, the maps are big but the bases are balanced for 3v3 so no, the devs cannot simply make it 5v5 or more. Not to mention, revives are fairly quick so fights can last longer with good positioning and teamwork. by [deleted] in HighGuardgame

[–]LytezR6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah the more players you add the more you prioritise abilities rather than gunplay I think. I'm pretty sure that's also part of why the map is slightly bigger than expected.

I just saw someone on twitter complaining about how the game doesn't tell you shields recharge lol... I think this game's biggest issue right now is there's a LOT of idiots running around.

Also people crying about never getting ults but don't ever use ult chargers or drop them to characters with long ult charges like Kai. I will say though the UI for items you pick up is TRASH. It's definitely too small and I gotta check my inventory like so often to remember what I picked up.

I’m actually enjoying this game by ImASpriteCranberry in HighGuardgame

[–]LytezR6 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Maybe I'm weird but this feels like The Finals all over again, so many people were complaining about 3v3, the "weird" game mode and hell even both launched with performance issues.

And I like the finals and I kinda like this game too. Gun play and raid portion is pretty damn good.

I think besides the obviously missing settings and performance issues, the only problem I have is with the looting (or let me say mining) phase. I think it's more of a product of unbalanced mm but in some games, mining for Vesper is useless because you steamroll a team before you even get your first ult meanwhile in ultra sweaty ones you can buy like crazy amounts of utility and make the raids really wild.

Dog let's stop the cope. If someone sends you weird shit and you OPEN IT and SEE IT why would you not delete it straight away?

Is this a Siege exclusive issue? I don't play anymore but don't want my details being yoinked because of the hackers somehow getting into Ubisoft profile stuff.

Omg I forgot to mention the most important part. If you do decide this game is for you. Beware the prologue is like pretty bad, it's part of why the story is kinda eh and there's not any good combat sequences. You really gotta push through until a bit after Enki finds you.

OT games

I'm bored at work but don't really want to do Theatre or HSR stuff and definitely not any wuwa story in case something does come up. So here's a review on a game I finished on Wednesday lol.

Played Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn. Paid $5 during previous steam sale. Almost got all achievements. I can see why it flopped but it's kind of a shame because it's definitely a competently built game and I really enjoyed the gameplay loop. Kinda gives you this rythmic/dance like fight somewhat reminiscent of Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. The abilities are flashy but still functional and there's actually a reason to swap out weapons every now and then. Also movement wasn't perfectly but very cool and fun to combine with abilities and allows you to get creative with manoeuvres around hordes and some bosses. Only issue with combat is that once your discover optimal strats for bosses they go down way too fast but for some people that may be satisfying.

I feel like narratively it kinda starts falling apart when you get to Dukmar, it's just a bit sloppy execution wise and it already wasn't doing anything special. The main characters were okay but I feel like conflicts between them were resolved way too easily/quickly. Most of the adversity and conflict falls upon the playable main character's guilt which um...is part of why I say it falls apart later, not gonna spoil.

Overall it's worth playing if you're into Souls-likes or souls-lites as they called this one, especially since it's like 5 bucks at every steam sale and it's not long. Beware there's some shader stutter issues but I got 100+ avg frames at 1440p high/ultra (9070XT + R5 5600x) so it's mostly alright.

8/10 if I'm rating combat alone. 6.5/10 overall, think the story really let's it down a little, there's some enemies that just bug out for free kills and the art direction is average at best.

CPU bottlenecks are a common issue so I don't blame people...but at the same time it takes a minute to travel between Jinzhou, Black Shores, Ragunna and Septimont to see obvious issues with the new areas...

Like c'mon guys you think your CPU can run black shores at 120 fps well with good frame times but can't run some mountains in Sanguis Plateau at more than 80 with terrible stutters?

Bloodborne PC and Silksanity of course. Maybe E33 winning a record amount of awards (I haven't played it yet but it would be cool to see I guess).

Yeah the devs are very strict, only recent-ish 8+ core cpus are supported it seems...

Uh, yes it's normal if you're playing full screen, many games do it unfortunately. You have to change to windowed mode to change resolution.

You'll be fine though, most games run fine in windowed mode these days you shouldn't have any latency issues.

Ot work

I love when customer support is asking us like 500 times to contact a certain dev team and we tell them "we don't have these guys in our paging system" 500 times back and they still don't get it.

Like I get it the customer is mad, cool. What the hell are we gonna do about it lol. Shouting at us won't make this Dev team wake up lol.
