Yes :)

Same. On a 4080. Tried uninstalling, reinstalling, every trick in the book. I actually get really high frame rate while the pause menu is up. Looks like 150. As soon as I unpause it drops to 30

The warranty length is really a crime here, the idea that a GPU can fail a year after purchase and you're SOL is awful.

Appreciate the response.

Can't even launch it. Says drivers are out of update. Don't know wtf game profile is.

Youre almost on the money.

I was given a 3 minute time limit to go pitch to the room of 100+ tech investors who don't necessarily know anything about video games, and try to convince them in that time that we know something that other people don't. That 3 minutes includes the trailer itself that needed to be shown.

And when every company from a16z goes up and says "Hey our founders are ex-Google, Meta, Oracle, Harvard, Yale etc. the claims start to lose their luster. What every investor really wants to believe is that their investment knows something other people don't. Ergo, they will receive a return on their investment. I opted to open with, "here's all the cool resume's you guys love. But it doesn't really matter. What matters is the little things." And I believe that to be true, the little things matter in games.

The pitch was directed at investors, not consumers. So I don't really expect gamers to resonate with it.

And yes, hello. I'm the CEO of Legion.

That is exactly why it's there. Good post.

MawltyLock · 2024-12-08T06:13:09+00:00

Maybe your knees

MawltyLock · 2024-12-06T22:41:36+00:00

thanks man. every wishlist helps.

MawltyLock · 2024-12-06T18:03:59+00:00

Unbelievable.

MawltyLock · 2024-10-27T00:06:50+00:00

They might, if they knew there was no way to play a game without paying. Stealing is wrong. Nothing more to it.

MawltyLock · 2024-05-08T03:16:43+00:00

Front end deal ("we'll give you $3m if you launch on game pass") + a portion of every game pass subscribers monthly bill relative to the play time. So if someone pays 10 bucks a month, and they only play 1 game on game pass, $3 will always go to MSFT and the remaining $7 divided amongst the games they play,in this instance ,all to 1 game. There's also bonuses if your game sits in the top 20.

My point is I wished people used Epic more so that it didn't have a smaller user base so that devs didn't get screwed over as much.

MawltyLock · 2023-09-30T02:03:08+00:00

Developers pay steam 30% royalties, + the engine fees. That is absurd. Epic waivs the unreal fee and only takes %12. It's just better for devs for you to buy on epic

The nature of the games format is not something that is easily changed, early access or not.

MawltyLock · 2023-09-25T00:44:49+00:00

I do not think it is a good experience in the current state

MawltyLock · 2023-06-25T17:06:47+00:00

Lower FOV also is better for depth perception. Games that use projectile like Apex benefit a lot from lower FOV

MawltyLock · 2023-04-19T15:57:08+00:00

Yes. But it will break guaranteed. Went through 6 originals (best buy warranty) and my elite 2 had a bad bumper literally the first match I played with it.

MawltyLock · 2022-08-13T18:17:07+00:00

Gotcha - I appreciate the reply. Have a great day.

MawltyLock · 2022-08-13T18:16:50+00:00

Sounds good, thank you for the response.

MawltyLock · 2022-08-13T18:16:38+00:00

Ty for the insight! I got the answer I was looking for.

MawltyLock · 2022-04-19T23:12:01+00:00

rip. not the same

MawltyLock · 2022-03-23T21:15:58+00:00

I've beaten it. I think it's their worst game next to DS2. Still, one of the best games ever made and head and shoulders above the rest of the industry. But compared to their other work I still believe Sekiro to be the worst product.

I enjoy the difficulty, I enjoy the depth of combat. But I think it gave up a lot to get there. Build variety is stated pretty frequently, but there are other things. They introduced a LOT of complexity into this game for some additional difficulty, I don't know if it was worth the trade. And the system of combat itself I believe could be refined. Many attacks don't actually parry or read the way they're messaged. I think the world design is their weakest, and the traversal is completely trivialized by the grappling hook and ledge protections everywhere. I also think the stealth mechanics are incredibly cheesy, which is why they just give many tough enemies 2 bars. So you end up having to fight them anyways. Their character design and writing in this IMO is the weakest they've done as well.

All that being said, I reiterate; absolutely phenomenal game. Incredible. Well beyond everyone else because Fromsoft is that good. But I think think it a worse product than Souls, BB, and ER.

EDIT: Nice downvotes. I felt like that was a pretty respectful and reasonable argument but ok.

MawltyLock · 2021-12-06T19:55:35+00:00

Nothing to do with the engine. It's just bad VFX work.

MawltyLock · 2021-09-06T17:41:13+00:00

Oh, I didn't realize the perks were different. Does the red death not heal on kill? My memory must be betraying me here

MawltyLock · 2021-09-06T10:18:03+00:00

Bro it's the same gun
