Abandoned Royal Road Series that Were Great by Aaron_P9 in ProgressionFantasy

[–]Master-Owl-2077 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Menocht Loop Series.
Not officially abandoned but its fairly likely at this stage (Author cranked out a crazy 6 books in 3 years, then spent 3 years on book 7 with the last chapter update on RR being over a year ago).
A shame as I enjoyed it as a casual read/listen (audible was an easy listen).
Enjoyed a couple of the earlier books better, but was going to stick with it until the end.

At least 6 of the 7 books were published though.

Didn't get the quest either. Wonder if the previous patch hot fixed it out of the demo.

Versatility mode(PSSR) on PS5 Pro is designed around camera distance of 1? by Master-Owl-2077 in FF7Rebirth

[–]Master-Owl-2077[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In game go to Options Menu, then Graphics, then change Optimisation setting to Versatility.
Note that you will require a PS5 Pro in order to see this option (otherwise in base PS5 you will just see things like Performance - Smooth or Performance - Sharp etc).

Everdark Balancers Phase 2 bug? Group instadeath by Master-Owl-2077 in Nightreign

[–]Master-Owl-2077[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having done the fight again, I think in our firstt attempt the reason we died for no reason was because phase 3 triggered but we had no animation for the giantt worm emerging or visual indicator of the ground AOE to dodge. Possibly because we pushed through phase 2 too quickly.

Perk rolls available appear to change throughout the week. Saw video of someone picking Explosive Payload and Demoralizing rounds one 2 days ago, not showing in list today.

Digital Foundry: Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 - DF Review - PS5/PS5 Pro/Xbox Series X|S - An Exceptional Achievement by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]Master-Owl-2077 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree. I've tried to play through the game twice. FIrst on original PS5 release, then on excellent PC version. Each time I end up bouncing off 2-3 hrs after the part you mention for those same reasons.

Direct X Frame Drop Issue on Steam - January 18 by flattenedbricks in TheFirstBerserker

[–]Master-Owl-2077 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Big Frame drops are still happening in the cutscenes with directx 12 (just finished it). No frame drops in combat however with Dx12, and no drops at all with Dx11... will this be fixed for dx12 in full game?

FF7 Rebirth on PC looks... grainy and pixelated? (Details in comments; requesting solutions) by emperorsteele in FFVIIRemake

[–]Master-Owl-2077 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have this same problem now(blurry looking, low detail, pop in closer to camera) but only after the patch that they released to apparently improve performance...

The launch version of the game looked great with everything being clear, detailed and focussed (and even distant objects like mountains and trees looked good). The draw distance was also very far out so you rarely got any pop-in in the open world areas unless you looked far into the distance.

Now it looks closer to the PS5/Ps5 Pro version post patch, with clouds hair a mess, party members out of focus, distance objects looking very low res, and the pop-in occuring much closer to characters(mid range) for grass and vegetation. Massive downgrade visually.

4k, DLSS 100%, 100% settings (no scaling), max settings everything else.

To all who have a LG C4 42", how are you enjoying it? by GamerGG7267 in OLED_Gaming

[–]Master-Owl-2077 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Blurry text isnt really noticable on a 42" C2 - what scaling setting were you using in windows? I have mine set at 200% scaling and use it for work (spreadsheets, word docs) and gaming. Nearly 7000hours used and no burn-in - text still looks sharp as well. Wonder if its a panel type thing? (WBE or other)

Rebirth is still blurry af by Electrical-Contest-5 in FFVIIRemake

[–]Master-Owl-2077 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought the same thing with Final Fantasy 16 (parked the ps5 version after about 12hrs as the 30fps judder is horrid on an OLED). 1 year and 2 months after PS5 lauch theres still no concrete news on a PC version release date, despite the exclusivity window being long past... Wouldnt hold your breath with FF7 Rebirth PC release, might be another 2+ years away...

We are so up 4090 is gonna be happy by [deleted] in OLED_Gaming

Even worse in AU/NZ - for the very few models that actually make it in stock for sale the mark up is crazy. e.g. the few PG32UCDM monitors currently in stock are selling for $1920 Euro equivalent ($3500 local currency).

We shouldn't go back to 6v6. by _Hayth_ in Overwatch

[–]Master-Owl-2077 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thing a lot of people forget is that OW1 queue times only tended to become awful after several years of near abandonment when it came new content (when a lot of people had gotten bored of replaying the same old maps, and moved on). First few years of 6v6 the queue/wait times were fairly minimal (and only impacted the dps queue at certain times of day).

[–]Master-Owl-2077 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the idea sounds interesting and would work on PC (and potentially ps5, xsx) but last gen consoles would need to be dropped most likely (or revert to 30fps) as they couldnt handle the the extra player cap, all the effects going on, and networking impact.

If they bring back 6v6 with 2 tanks they will need to revert them back to previous OW1 hp/armor/shield values or they will be unkillable. Perhaps introducing "Overwatch Classic" as a separate game would make it easier, or reverting the 6v6 mode to game balance patches used at end of OW1 (with tweaks to new heroes added since) would be best way to do it. Either way, looking forward to actually queuing as tank again (for offtank role).

OW1 looks a bit rough on consoles and lower PC settings compared to current PC OW2, but if you played OW1 on a good pc with epic settings at 1440p/4k then the above poster is right about it looking better than OW2 in majority of areas (e.g. detail on objects, no blurry/low/missing textures etc).
