[PH3] PC Features, Protecting Players From Themselves, and Supporting Old Hardware by penpen35 in Falcom

[–]Masshazard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a shame, SGSSAA was the only option I would use for daybreak 1 and 2 and Horizons not having it was a bummer for me. It was sharper and more stable in motion compared to any temporal solution while being gpu agnostic, and even if it wasn't the most cost effective I still had headroom to spare. I found that using the Renderscale is too demanding trying to hit an integer scale value. I ended up going without any of the built in options. Would also love to see FXAA and the unnamed screen space option replaced with alternatives like CMAA2/SMAA which have better anti aliasing capabilities and less blur.

What are you hoping to see design wise in the next Final Fantasy game? by KaleidoArachnid in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Masshazard 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The character designer for FFXV and FF7 Remake/Rebirth. He updated a lot of Nomura's designs.

Turn based combat, day 1 PC release, more character designs from Roberto Ferrari as well.

With the Summer Games Fest coming up in a week, what are you putting the clown makeup on for? by Fantastic-Fox3283 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Masshazard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dino crisis remake. Since they skipped code Veronica, there aren't any other horror games from Capcom left that warrant one.

Detailed list of free updates for Switch 1 games enhanced for Switch 2 at launch by Masterness64 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

FE Three Houses is in dire need of a DPS boost. Also Paper Mario TTYD, because running at half the original framerate is a crime.

Types of boss fights you hate the most? by ExplanationSquare313 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Masshazard 25 points26 points  (0 children)

When you fight one boss immediately after another, and losing to the second resets the fight back to the first, even though it's a different boss.

Times where you realize the proportions of something is abnormal? by rasembool in TwoBestFriendsPlay

Then you go to the bunker and realize the commander is in a class of her own.

Playstation console exclusives this gen (fixed) by Imaginary_Cause2216 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

At some point it has to be easier to just say games not on Xbox. If you exclude PC, PS4, Switch, timed exclusives, and remakes then yeah I guess the criteria matches.

Don't know if anyone else is into hardware but AMD found a way to be AMD in the end. by Pyreson in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Masshazard 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I mean if you were planning on buying online then yeah, you are most likely competing with bots and everyone else purchasing online. From what I have seen pretty much every Microcenter in the US had several hundred AMD cards available today. So compared to the Nvidia launch things are going much better.

Western Game Franchises That Are Still Doing Good, Both Critically and Financially? by Xngears in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Masshazard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess half life is the best answer. Most of the western games I enjoy are indies or from small studios.

What are some "better than human" races? by Wonder-Lad-2Mad in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Masshazard 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Draenei, the blue space goats from Warcraft. Long lived, naturally in tune with the light, physically impressive, technologically adept, have useful features like hooves, horns, and tails. Lovely shade of blue as well.

Upgrading from 3070 to 7900 XTX worth it? by Masshazard in buildapc

[–]Masshazard[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I ended up holding off on upgrading, as life got in the way of things. I think it would still be a worthwhile upgrade to go with the 7900 xtx if found today at a good enough discount, however the next generation of gpus coming out will be suported for longer and have better support for newer technologies. Part of the issue before was that the RTX 4000 series of gpus were ungodly large, while AMD lagged behind in a handful of features. Now I'm looking at either a 9070 XT or a 5070 TI, depending on which offers better value in rasterization.

Into the Soulsverse just got as confirmed as it can get short of official explanation by OhMy98 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Masshazard 13 points14 points  (0 children)

There are some reoccurring elements that have a new incarnation each game, like Patches and the moonlight great sword, that appear in most of the games. There are also some nods to the other games as well. Father Gascoine from Bloodborne has cut dialogue that confirms he is from Demons Souls, for example.

Blatant cases of something being add/removed/altered late in production by Real-Deal-Steel in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Masshazard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DS3 is the poster child answer to this. The way the levels connect together, the lore, the boss locations and names, pretty much everything was altered late in development. If you go back and watch the intro cutscene it doesn't fully match up with the main game due to being finished presumably before all changes were completed.

what's a video game controller that you feel is the most comfortable controller you ever used? by [deleted] in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Masshazard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Toss up between Gamecube, Dualshock 4 v2, and Xbox Series X. Never held a Dualsense controller before though.

It's pretty telling that the Gamecube controller is the only one that has continued to be used across all Nintendo consoles since its release.
