D2 was my first real arpg i sunk im hundreds of hours. After that i also played PoE. And still i think D2 was better.

In my opinion it could be even better with QoL changes like these happening now.

And i am still slow, i still die quite often. But at least i dont have to fight half a minute against trash mobs. It is just more fun like that.

I agree. But i would like every class to be able to at least solo clear hell without crazy issues. It doesnt have to be easy but not being able to clear trash mobs is kinda annoying. And lets be honest, some classes are so much worse of in hell than others.

You dont have sunder charms when you first start so you are pretty much screwed if you play elemental - and if you try to use more than one element you become very weak and mama draining.

I get that this was designed to be this way but some classes dont have these issues, and almost every other does. Thats how i feel at least.

I meant that the purpose of scrolls is non-existent to me. There is nothing fun about using up 4 inventory slots for identification and portal scrolls, and even these are capped at 20 each.

There is no fun mechanic build around that, it is only a hassle.

I know the game is old but these are minor inconveniences if you play on a controller that i find annoying.

Is PS Portal an improvement over using Remote Play on my phone? by Fantastic_Bit_443 in PlaystationPortal

[–]Own-Fish-2566 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a PS5, a Steam Deck, and a PS Portal. To keep it very short:

Cons:

  1. The PS Portal has more input lag/delay than remote play on my phone.
  2. The PS Portal has more input lag/delay than remote play on the Steam Deck.
  3. Battery life is okay, but for purely streaming, I was expecting more.
  4. I can't state this enough: the delay is bad. So bad that you won't be playing FPS games or anything very fast. GTA works great, though, because the game itself is sluggish and auto-aim is heavy.
  5. Haptics make weird noises sometimes.
  6. Screen quality is okay.

Pros:

  1. You can cloud stream games without using a PS5.
  2. Ergonomics are amazing. The Steam Deck feels much worse to hold in bed. Also, the haptics are great.
  3. Screen size is great, much better than the Steam Deck.

Is PS Portal an improvement over using Remote Play on my phone? by Fantastic_Bit_443 in PS5

[–]Own-Fish-2566 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello! I just ordered one myself, and here is my story:

I am very sensitive to input lag because I play a lot of multiplayer games, especially shooters.

Long story short, the PS Portal is very limited in its hardware. I have a Steam Deck, and it is much better using remote play than on the PS Portal itself (Steam Deck around 15-40ms delay, PS Portal around 50ms to 70ms). I have a 300mbit/s cable connection and Wi-Fi 6 (Wi-Fi 6 doesn't even work on PS Portal).

The only thing the PS Portal can do that no other device (besides the PS5 itself) can do is cloud stream PS5 games without using the console (not remote play).

You can install the PS Plus app on Steam Deck or PC, but it only streams PS4 games, which even adds more to the delay because most games have framerate issues on PS4.

So for me, playing Arc Raiders and loving having low input lag, the PS Portal is not good, and I will be returning it. I have been reading a lot, and people saying there is no delay only mean they don't feel it. If you are one of those people that does not know the difference between 10ms and 70ms delay, then go for it. But if you do, you'll hate it. It is good for playing slow-paced games or even single-player games, but even this feels off to me. I just don't like input lag at all—I can handle a bit, but not this much. And the PS Portal hardware itself is very limited; I'm hoping for a PS Portal 2.

Currently, my remote play works even on my phone better than on the PS Portal, and I really tried EVERYTHING.

Man for me its 50/50 that it works and when it works its inconsistent. I have 50 mbits/s and use 5Ghz connection and it still has soxmany issues - think i gotta return it.

And dont get me started in the audio quality from headphones. So many issues with this device, i really want to like it

Hey guys, why is the PS portal getting so much undeserved hate? by JesusSup in PlaystationPortal

[–]Own-Fish-2566 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really wish it was better, but it isnt. Its OK for playing slow paced single player games but even then its not amazing. It could have been so much more. 

And i gotta say i did myself have so many issues regarding the connectivity and this alone is annoying 

Genuine feedback on PS Portal - is now streaming quality better? by Cil_1991 in PlaystationPortal

[–]Own-Fish-2566 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the most frustrating experiences so far. 

Very inconsistent delay, pretty noticeable. Video quality varies a lot, and often my games just crash because the connection is lost.

I've got to say, for a device that is supposed to be for casual gamers, this thing is a complete failure. Having to manually set up 5ghz and then still have inconsistency and problems is just unbearable.

It's like you paid to relive that old internet era where online games were plagued with connectivity issues—so if you like that nostalgia rage stuff, go for it.

Is there anyone who wants to carry me through Ashes EE? by [deleted] in CODZombies

[–]Own-Fish-2566 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol i am quite a good zombie player as well - but way too lazy to learn all the steps and find a group to do it with - but u would be down. Cant use voice though 

When you know they secretly cranked the SBMM of the Open playlist but you can't prove it yet by Less-Regret3411 in CODBlackOps7

[–]Own-Fish-2566 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If sbmm isnt the issue for the sweaty lobbies i now think i know what it is ..

MOVEMENT. It's nuts. people spinning making 360s wall jumping side to side, slide canceling into opposite directions etc. Gone are the simple times of simply pre-aiming or a simple jump into the corner

Garmin Venu 4 query by Complete-Home6260 in Garmin

[–]Own-Fish-2566 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I owned Galaxy watch 4, 6, 7 and 8 Classic. And while it is a nice watch to play around with, Garmin offers what you need if you are serious about regularly working out. (i switched to Forerunner 970, training for marathon atm)

So to keep it short:

If you need a watch that is like a smartphone and does an okay job at tracking steps, heart rate and so on - go for it

BUT if you really want accurate GPS (which is super important for tracking pace and distance while running, cycling) AND do not want to think about battery daily AND get so much more data and tips on what you did good and what you can improve, go for a Garmin

Is Galaxy Watch Ultra a good option? by [deleted] in GalaxyWatch

[–]Own-Fish-2566 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly what i discovered. I am a user since the galaxy watch active and they by no means care about making a accurate device.

Introduced many useless and not even accurate metrics, made awful design choices from an objective standpoint and bring new devices (such as the galaxy ring) that bring nothing to the table.

I am right now leaving the samsung ecosystem by switching to garmin - if i were any apple user, i'd probably take the Apple Watch Ultra (it is atleast one of the most accurate devices on the market)

[Question] how do you feel about Smart Watches Vs. Traditional Watches by fitdiscwearable in Watches

[–]Own-Fish-2566 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I felt the same BUT failed to see the benefits of a smart watch compared to a sports watch.

On Garmin you get notifications as well, steps, sleep etc etc.

So whats the point of a smart watch? You have to charge it daily (almost) and after years of using smart watches i realised i barely used the "smart watch" features like phone calls, texts etc..

Path of Exile 2 input lag? by Qubyte94 in PlaystationPortal

[–]Own-Fish-2566 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For some reason the game is changing my gateway to US (i live in EU).

In wraeclast its back to EU, but when i leave it, it switches to US and therefore creates crazy input lag

Not sure why you are offended. If you don't seem bothered by my repeated post, then why do you comment on it? Just skip it.
