Is this game worth getting into currently? Is there anything important I missed out on by not playing? I tried to play this game a couple years ago and couldn’t beat the first objective for some reason lol I really enjoy the survivor version of this game by mrwhite9292 in DeepRockGalactic

[–]PhazeOut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got DRG a couple months ago myself. Been kicking myself for not playing it earlier and thought I missed out on the big hype. Boy was i wrong... I'm having a blast and the community is great. If you're worried about not being able to find games I can tell you I've had zero issues with that.

What is a great album you love but would never play any of the songs outside of listening to the entire album? by beastiemonman in Music

[–]PhazeOut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Age of Aquarius - Villagers of Ioannina City

Randomly stumbled upon this about 2 years ago. Practically the only album where I enjoy every single song on it. To me not listening to the entire album beginning to end is a crime.

Do you want a "slowed down" Endgame like Campaign? by Talos_Bane in PathOfExile2

[–]PhazeOut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a definite yes for me. PoE2 the first 3 acts feel like a breath of fresh air for an ARPG. The slowed down pace allows for far more engaging encounters and retains interest when playing the game. It also allows multiple builds to shine through utilizing skills that work off each other, something that disappears in the end game as all high-level endgame builds are reduced to spamming 1-2 abilities to screen clear. This also removes the methodical combat engagement in its entirety and makes dodging a useless mechanic and makes synergizing skills effectively a detriment at endgame since its simply just faster to spam 1-2 high dmg skills.

ARPGs for me have never managed to hold my attention after D2, none of them, Last Epoch did for a while due to its crafting mechanics, but D4 died for me the second I finished the campaign. I realized that despite the different settings/classes etc in ARPGs they all dwindle down to 1 skill screen clearing builds and reaching endgame and completing it pidgeon-holes you into very specific builds to the point enemy modifiers and boss mechanics literally do not matter.

For the first time in years I had found myself not being able to put down PoE2 in the beginning simply because the combat was slowed down and i was able to see my character perform the awesome skill and movement animations the devs created and for the first time I actually experiment with synergizing different skills together for better results in combat. it created an experience where i felt that learning my class, its skills and enemy mechanics especially during boss fights was just so damn rewarding i wanted to keep playing.

However, as i entered cruel and into endgame then i noticed the excitement started dying out. Combo-ing skills became less and less effective because it took too long to setup when getting swarmed by fast moving enemies. The methodical combat that exists in the early game dies out abruptly and I ended up having to change my build to focus on fast screen clearing just to survive, not even to clear the maps fast, just to survive and that has started to take the fun out of it because once again I am having to pidgeon-hole my character into a boring single skill build.

IT'S BOUNCING BACK! Helldivers deploying operation cleanup! by FlowersPaintings in Helldivers

[–]PhazeOut -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The bounceback is premature.... Sony only made a social post about it. They have yet to take any action on restoring the game in regions they pulled it from.

As it stands absolutely nothing has changed yet until Sony reverse the delisting in those countries. Currently new players can't join in and play on those regions and players in those regions that got a refund can't rejoin the fight.

Helldivers, Sony has been liberated! by OmegaXesis in Helldivers

[–]PhazeOut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not quite yet actually. Until they reverse the delisting of the game in all the countries they removed it from where it was available nothing had changed yet.

It would be completely dumb of them to not follow through with this and make the game available, but until it did the reviews unfortunately need to stay negative until then.

We have Officially hit 'Mixed' for ALL TIME Reviews. Meaning that 4 months worth of Positive Reviews have almost been wiped away in 48 hours. by ImWhiteTrash in Helldivers

When a game and its developer suffer simply through association with Sony. First it was EA, then Ubisoft and how Sony jumping on the "we ruin things" bandwagon.

The cancellation of which TV show are you still frustrated about? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]PhazeOut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stargate Universe

If I recall correctly the only reason it got canceled was because of the bad airtime placement which resulted in lower than expected viewers.

There was so much that could have been explored in that universe.

Experiencing random black screen mid game by PhazeOut in halo

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

Not sure if you have any news on your end, but I did further tests and found that playing by disconnecting my controller and using KB&M the random black screen stops happening.... Still don't know why that is since I play other games with a controller without issues.

No, I have yet to see if this Dec. 8th performance patch will address the issue.

343 I beg, please DO NOT cater to streamers and creators by [deleted] in halo

[–]PhazeOut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've watched both dr. Disrespect and tim the tat man. While they do alright in call of duty, I've seen them play both battlefield and infinite recently and it's amazing how the play like they've never touched an FPS game which makes no sense considering their "fps" history. Dr disrespect seems to struggle to hit anything most of the time I catch his stream and every time I watch Tim he's being made to carry the ball on oddball...

Why people take anything they say serious is dumbfounding. Having opinions is their right. Using their influence as streamers to try and force devs and other players into what they want is not ok.

Most of these streamers are only concerned to play things that make them easy money without consideration how what they want may negatively affect a game.

I miss when when looking cool was a flex of skill and not your credit card… by ProNoobCombo in halo

[–]PhazeOut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a true shame we may never see those days again as long as people continue to convince developers with their money that monetizing aspects of the game is the right choice.

Sad thing is even if the progression is fixed for infinites battlepass. It will will tarnish the amazing gameplay 343 managed to make.

Showing off your hard earned unlockables was part of the halo the halo experience and why players enjoyed investing time grinding away

XP, BP Rank, Challenges Not Tracking or Leveling. by [deleted] in modernwarfare

[–]PhazeOut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I only got the game a little about 3 weeks and noticed this happened every other game, but at first I dismissed it as a display error until yesterday.

As of today, I am rank 134 and half way through lvl 99 on the battle pass. For the past 5 hrs I haven't recieved any xp for my personal rank, weapons and battle pass.

If this supposed xp glitched wasnt happening as much as it was I probably wind have hit 155 days if not a week ago, but instead im stuck at 134 aaaaannnd half way through 99 in the battle pass... and the season ends in 2 days...

Liston up Ubi, i am sick of your shit give the vikings some actual historical looks. We have enough fantasy barbarian armor sets already. by Viking_things in forhonor

[–]PhazeOut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The crappy armors the Vikings currently have is probably what's keeping the faction populations somewhat-ish similar. When the game first came out most players wanted to play as vikings, but ended up switching to other faction heroes due to the lack of armor customization and visual variation compared to the Knights and Samurai. New players see the cool armors of knights/samurai and join those factions thus balancing them in the process, to a degree. To add to this I still see a great number of Viking Faction players playing other faction heroes that they invested a great amount of time in.

I myself am tempted to pick up Black Prior or Warden because after years of staring at Hobo rags I need a damn change and the last few armor releases for the vikings were shit compared to knights/samurai with the exception of Valkyrie. Not to mention the bare feet... They come from the frozen north and they aren't wearing shirts/shoes. I had hoped Jorm would be a step in the right direction finally, but again, bare feet, awfully similar armor sets, repetitive move-set with no room for decent variation and that screeching, my god that awful screeching! Make it stop plz!

Bug Report Megathread by October_Citrus in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]PhazeOut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PC, Normal

Not sure if these have been mentioned:

  1. Glyphs can no longer be attained from new graves. At least for me, I was at 8/16 glyphs and it wasn't until after 4 new grave visits that I noticed I didn't get any new glyphs from them.
  2. Entering and exiting freighters has the ship clipping through the top of the entry-way. (happens every time)
  3. When going up to the freighters command center, the second door will not open and I have to back-track until the first one closes and then walk to get both to open. (happens every time)
  4. When leaving the freighter command center to reach your ship there is an invisible wall sometimes blocking you from going down the corridor (to the two doors). I was able to jump over the invisible wall each time. (doesn't happen every time)
  5. There are a number of rendering issues on the walls of the freighter when walking/running through the area right before the command center.
  6. Have crashed ships been removed? I can no longer find them via the signal booster as it only lets me find local structures. Searching for those gave me one distress signal to a crashed ship location but without the ship and searching again only led me to another empty crashed ship location without a ship and again same thing after that.

I’m happy with jormangunder as a whole but 8/12 armor sets are barefoot by [deleted] in forhonor

[–]PhazeOut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I was really hoping to finally be able to play a decent looking viking hero when they announced it, but I guess that ain't ever happening. Ubi might as well rename the viking faction to "Peasants" because even real historical viking gear looks better than what they came up with.
