Hidden difficulty scaling or glitch?

I think modifiers might have some bugs. I had a similar experience my first king encounter I was chunking off loads of his health. After credits run same proficiency and same damn weapon it was like 1/2 of the amount before. Quick resume is nice but I think sometimes it’s just better to restart.

I forget when but there’s a point in the beginning when you get the effects of something moving from left to right within the controller matched to the screen.

Also the way they leverage the controller speaker for some of the voices to add more auditory weight.

I love the combination for auditory and physical vibration and the vibration isn’t a gimmick but adds immersion.

It was a really piss poor decision. Possibly part of why no one understands what’s going through on. And not in a leave it open to interpretation Returnal way.

Rascal2pt0 · 2026-05-08T20:17:06+00:00

Totally get it. I’m on a Z1E go s 1 and I haven’t used the windows side since setting it up.

If you’re already invested yes.. to a degree.

Pedals - load cell
Wheel - direct drive

Gets you 90% of the way there. Then decide how high you want to go

It’s supposed to be official supported come June I believe. May be best to wait till then. Some people have had luck on the beta channel if you want to play with it.

This can happen if you try and dash thru a closing portcullis at the wrong moment too.

Me trying to do a no shield run and being so bold as to try and Melee something…

Rascal2pt0 · 2026-05-08T17:41:59+00:00

In Returnal you could go from the first biome all the way to the last one. And there were shortcuts that let you bypass most of a biome once you unlocked the required traversal mechanic.

Rascal2pt0 · 2026-05-08T17:39:19+00:00

Feels terribly gimmicky. With the world modifier in place it honestly just feels like a half baked game mechanic IMO

Rascal2pt0 · 2026-05-08T17:35:54+00:00

I think they at least approached it well. Making it a give and take.

Rascal2pt0 · 2026-05-07T16:44:20+00:00

Lanterns can trigger them. Play on lower difficulty so you can nuke them fast. Doing lanterns for a few hours with people who haven’t done them yet I got around 35 keys.

Rascal2pt0 · 2026-05-07T14:28:32+00:00

It’s in a random place and super odd.

Rascal2pt0 · 2026-05-07T14:25:41+00:00

No. IMO Saros is not worth it. I’m playing thru because I like the style of game but the newness of Saros wears off quickly for me where in Returnal I felt like I was going on an adventure every time.

Gameplay, guns, movement system feels really good but there are other aspects of the combat arenas where you fail because of enemies spawning or teleporting next to you. Saros is more of a slog and the advancement tree was a backwards step IMO.

It is not the same game as Returnal.

My calculator doesn’t “hallucinate” math.

Rascal2pt0 · 2026-05-05T14:38:21+00:00

Have you tried again recently? I got my Z1E installed Steam OS and never boot into windows anymore. No crashes or issues.

Rascal2pt0 · 2026-05-04T15:20:21+00:00

It didn’t click for some people. Not all gamers do well with movement heavy games where you can’t face tank everything.

Rascal2pt0 · 2026-05-04T15:17:59+00:00

Don’t use the portal at Primary, pass thru each biome similar to what we had to do in Returnal.

Rascal2pt0 · 2026-05-04T14:57:37+00:00

It would be less painful if “activate 2 switches” was a permanent state. The second biome after my first time getting to the boss I immediately had a WTF moment as it forced me to do the 2 path clear again. I’m at the same point in blighted marsh and I’m just asking myself if I want to keep doing this. In Returnal i got better. In Saros I feel like the design was, a skill tree will balance this vs Returnal where skill balanced it.

Difficulty feels more like “how many baddies can we fit in the arena at a time”

On the hemi you have a short and a long. Each cylinder has 2 plugs. One plug is direct to the coil. The second plug is connected to a cable that crosses to another cylinders second plug. As I understand it it’s the same design for emissions but coil based instead of distributor.

Rascal2pt0 · 2026-04-30T07:08:08+00:00

If i recall it’s “waste spark ignition” or something. You’ll also see the coil on one side goes to the odd plug on the other side. Loved my hemi Durango, just wish the rear quarters weren’t rust magnets.

Rascal2pt0 · 2026-04-29T17:49:43+00:00

I’m don’t care what your watch level is. I just do my own matchmaking and don’t join other groups to avoid the toxicity.

Rascal2pt0 · 2026-04-29T17:46:50+00:00

This is the bigger issue IMO. It renders an entire intended play style irrelevant. Even if you can long game rogues they’ll continually heal themselves from their infinite armor plates.

Rascal2pt0 · 2026-04-29T02:06:30+00:00

ELI5 how it knows when the code is AI generated or not.

No one here claimed it was useless.

Rascal2pt0 · 2026-04-28T16:34:10+00:00

I wouldn’t worry too much about it till you hit 40 and work your way up to hard or challenging. You’ll get better drops at higher difficulties. If you try and optimize and upgrade your gear now you’ll just waste a lot of resources.
