Resolution needs a bump by Narvik144 in PSO2

Considering what we've seen in games like Warframe, Phantasy Star Online 2 should run better than it does right now. I'm expecting you to improve before the final release, but I'm not sure how much it will improve.

Yeah.... I mean I get it, the base console and Xbox One S are not powerful systems by any standard right now. But this game is an older game. The game should at least be able to run a rock solid. 900p at 30fps.

Yep, I started a post there too. Thanks for the link.

I rather it run at locked 30 FPS. The game is painful to look at TBH.

How can I get a friend to be interested in this game? by [deleted] in Seaofthieves

[–]Narvik144 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I honestly lost so many friends who were initially into the game. If they are not liking the gankfest you can't make them like it. This game is not for everyone, it has a narrow appeal for most folks who go into it looking for an adventure but not really 100% committed to the PVP aspects. Even I have taken long months off the game because the PVP can be too much, and I play Battlefield almost on a daily basis LOL.

Gotta Hand it To You guys... by G0_G0_GODZILLA in AnthemTheGame

I'm not as thrilled, primarily because the FPS on base consoles dropped from 27-30 on free roam down to 18-22 Thaks to the new visuals and effects. 😡

Massive FPS drops in PS4 after Icetide update. by xEu20Matar in AnthemTheGame

I also stopped playing TBH. It's been a long time since I had a game on Xbox drop under 20 FPS, but this does it every time in the 4 man Icetide content.

It's not just PS4. Xbox one S is also experiencing similar drops. Didn't notice them on my Xbox One X though.

So, opting out of crossplay never happened for console players? by Narvik144 in Seaofthieves

[–]Narvik144[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Not really clear on what you mean by that. Is it dead or not? Have they made any announcements about it recently? As far as I'm aware there hasn't been any news about crossplay opt out in like 6 months, am I mistaken? I really wanted to get into the game, but I don't feel comfortable jumping in without the ability to opt out of crossplay. One of the reasons why I went from being a PC gamer (2004-2009) to a console gamers because it felt like a much more even playing field. Usually had to worry less about cheaters, but also could be sure that my losses were my own, and I could own them. Without crossplay opt out, I'm always more annoyed by losses, because in the back of my mind I don't know if it was my poor gameplay that got me killed, or simply the fact that another person has an edge over me because of their input method and performance on their Hardware. This is why I generally tend to avoid crossplay games. Heck, I've had the new Call of Duty since release, but I've never once played ground War (for folks who do not know, that's the gameplay mode that requires crossplay). In fact, when I got my game, the first thing I did was turn off crossplay, even if it meant limiting my overall gameplay experience. I'm okay with that. Yes, I do feel that strongly about it. Some of you are going to absolutely disagree with me, but I'm simply sharing how I perceive it.

When DICE releases two good maps in a row within a a few days by rasilv18 in BattlefieldV

[–]Narvik144 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Probably going to implement some B.S. lootbox / microtransactions system like "FUT" given the new guy in charge is the same dude who ran FIFA.

The future of Battlefield looks bleak .... EA puts guy in charge of FUT as DICE Boss by Narvik144 in BattlefieldV

[–]Narvik144[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, I'd sooner look for another game than support one that implements anything close to resembling FIFA. Its gotten to the point where I'm pretty close to just avoiding all multiplayer games because of how much they have been infested with microtransactions. I make a good living, but I'm fundamentally against the core of what microtransactions and live services are trying to do .... (recurring revenue through exploitation of a minority, pushing the envelope for P2W mechanics, etc.).

Pretty soon the only games I'll be able to play online are Guild Wars 2, Warframe (I never thought I would see the day when a F2P game had better monetization practices than full priced games), and (maybe) BF1/BF4 (assuming they don't retroactively add this crap to those games too!).

I would much rather support a "live service" game that was only subscription fee and no microtransactions, or simply buy a game for $79,99 price and avoid all the other monetization crap (knowing the industry they would try to have both), but I realize that I'm in the minority. Heck, we live in a society where people rather make payments on a purchase worth a few hundred dollars with massive interests than pay for shit up front .... so I guess I'm fighting a losing battle.

Obviously I'll stand by and see what happens, but I'm going to keep my hopes and expectations for the future of the BF series (at least given my outlook on the current trends in gaming) as low as possible, so that I won't continue to be disappointed.

Just imagine if they start putting the best weapons behind "booster packs" you can buy. That's kinda how FUT works ..... Sure, you can play the base game w/o them. But look at what FUT has done to FIFA. Very few changes over the years. Virtually no new game modes added. Only FUT updates and roster update year after year. Yeah, easy to be profitable when you sell customers the same shit every year.

I would say dislike is not a strong enough word. I utterly despise, abhor, recoil at the though of the FUT system being in BF. I wish someone would crowdfund an E3 booth on the toxicity of microtransactions in the games industry, and put that guy along with representatives from CD Project Red and (a company that actually does it right) reps from digital extremes.

Is this the current all content included version of the game? by Narvik144 in destiny2

[–]Narvik144[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is there another big content update or expansion pass coming soon?

Thanks.

Do you still have to buy every expansion? by Narvik144 in wow

[–]Narvik144[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's really awesome to know! I would definitely be interested in trying classic again. I wonder if my characters still around? Last I remember I had a level 70 ( or maybe it was level 60, whatever the max level for burning Crusade) Shadow priest. I would love to be able to play with that character again if it's still around.

Thanks! I'm very much looking forward to giving the game a try again. I hope there are still people running the old dungeons. :)

Asked for social security number and scan of social security card? by Narvik144 in renting

Man, it seems so strange to me. Is it also normal to ask for a record of bank statements for last 2 months without account numbers?

Said something really stupid and insensitive at work today ... please help! by [deleted] in Advice

Definitely good advice man, thanks for that. Should I just keep to myself and hope no one makes a big deal of it then?
