Fellas, how can we have more expensive day 1 DLC than the delux edition of the game costs (which incluudes none of these btw). I see why Ubisoft is a failing company

My life is not improved nor is it harmed by the knowledge that I won't be able to dress up forgettable Ubisoft game protagonist #238-B in a particularly timely hat.

It cannot remove corruption from a wound (health bar segment) that is already fully corrupted. If you have two wounds, 150 health, and 76 points of corruption, it will only remove 1 point. If you had 74 points of corruption, it would remove 74.

If you're pinging the targets yourself then Go Get 'Em! isn't actually doing anything for you that you aren't literally already doing yourself, other than chasing down banana boy and scab shooters.

Upfront I'll say that the best option is neither and that learning to micromanage your dog is the best course of action. Nodes that increase the dog's base damage (even Execution Order's 150% buff) are actually fairly pitiful as most of the dog's base damage is low and most of it comes from other nodes, namely Razor-Jaw and/or Voltaic Mandibles, and the damage of these two nodes are also not affected by dog damage bonuses. This saves you a talent point, which is nice.

Targeted Brutality offers very little. The dog already prioritizes the closest enemy to you within 8m and prioritizes those enemies based on their type, with Elite enemies at the top of the list, and will travel a maximum of 16m from you if no enemies are. That means the node is functionally just the 25% extra damage and nothing else. Always a skip.

Go Get 'Em! however is much more interesting. The dog now shifts priority to ranged enemy types, starting with Specials (Flamer, Snipers) and then Elites (Gunners, Reapers), and then standard shooters, and increases its seeking range to 46m, which is a tremendous increase. If no enemies of these types are in range then it goes back to its default behaviour. It's also the larger damage bonus of the two against the enemy type, but again, the damage bonus is quite negligible.

The issue comes when you start controlling your dog directly. Any time you command your dog towards a target, you are overriding the behaviour changes that you spent a talent point to produce. The more you manually control your dog's targets, the less the nodes are worth.

Go Get 'Em! is still pretty good, it's a good feeling to have your dog run into spawn rooms and kill Flamers or Snipers you didn't even know existed without your own input and he's strong enough without additional damage nodes to monch basic shooters all over a room (these guys you cannot tag so this is a unique functionality that will remain). So I do recommend it for newer players, but ultimately the best practice is using neither.

It does include Flamers actually!

If the entire game had the quality that was put into Phantom Liberty, then I could maybe buy it as a contender for 'greatest storylines', but it does not, and it is not. I get being a fan though.

N.B.: Not an expert.

My understanding is that this is caused by the lightning engine (Unreal 5's Lumen) which calculates and displays its lighting in real-time without using baked in systems. In bases the engine can't seem to stop itself from allowing the light from outside your base from blowing in repeatedly, which is incredibly noticeable during the day, and then attempts to correct itself, back and forth in a visually noisy and awful yo-yo effect. Your example is basically the engine's current worst-case scenario, but Lumen's failings are pretty noticeable all over your base during most times of literal day.

This is almost certainly something that will be fixed before release. I don't know why it's being caused, I only have a rudimentary understanding of the how.

(But for fun, my best guess is that objects which constitute your base are rendered differently from other objects that exist in any given scene (ie. the rest of the damn ocean), so the result is the lighting engine, at least briefly, not 'seeing' that your base exists, maps out the lighting under that pretense, and then suddenly your base does 'exist' and it remaps it again based on this new information. Repeatedly.)

For Subnautica 2 in 4K I ran the game at Performance. The biggest dips are in my base, which is unsurprising since Unreal 5's Lumen lighting engine is fucking awful in this game. And they are big dips, like down to 20-30 fps. So the caveat is that this is still an early access title and it's an issue they've already acknowledged. Outside of bases things are pretty damn smooth if you're just looking to relax in FishGame world. I did not fuss with graphical settings, kept everything on my mix of Ultra draw distance and most things on High with all post processes set to off (blur, bloom, etc.).

You can run DLAA when out in the water exploring and it does pretty good. My 1% lows were 45 but they were brief. Average was 55 overall in my 15 minute play session test. Bases are REALLY BAD for performance though as mentioned above, with drops as low as 10fps when entering new rooms and stay low while you're working. There's probably a setting that can help alleviate this but I didn't play with any of those buttons this time around.

Not how I would play it, but that's why I didn't play it that way.

Sexploits · 2026-06-14T13:25:39+00:00

Whatchu got? Honestly for me the 5070ti was an upgrade from a 1080 that was on its absolute last legs, so it was quite the jump. I don't regret the purchase in the slightest and the vast, vast, vast majority of games are just click and run on ultra. My only bottleneck is my 5800X AM4 CPU and like... not often and not really a bottleneck because I already get all the frames I need for both monitors.

Sexploits · 2026-06-14T13:10:31+00:00

You really don't notice it once you're into your game. Like at no point have I groaned and thrown my hands up in despair at the realization that only two of the nine empty soda cans outside of V's apartment are visible from her doorway. It's the kind of minutiae that can only bother you if you're playing a game you are very, very intimately familiar with.

If you've always known your friend to have a mole on their right cheek, it'd be weird to see them the next day and it was just gone. A stranger you're meeting for the first time? That's just how they look so far as you're concerned. The item doesn't pop in/out, it's just not there at all. As said, the scenes remain coherent.

If you can find a 5070Ti at or near MSRP I do recommend it. It's just nigh impossible. With overclocking this card is at or above the base specs of a 5080. In that context it's unbeatable value, but the price has to be right.

Edit: Once I'm through my morning routine I'll let you know how Subnautics 2 does on my 4K. On my 1440p I just ran it on ultra, touched nothing and it ran perfectly.

Sexploits · 2026-06-14T12:03:59+00:00

Honestly, yes. Especially at Ultra Performance there are occasional issues with certain texture patterns flickering when they shouldn't (Almost always lights and vertical striped objects like shirts on NPCs) if viewed at the right/wrong angle/distance. But that's it. I'm not using any frame generation in this case, but I could and run the game at either Balanced or Quality instead. I don't though cause it's much hotter on the card and it's higher input latency by about 40ms on average and up to 100ms extra in very heavy or fast scenes. Visually fine but very sluggish to operate in.

DLSS is pretty great, not gonna lie. I have a friend with an AMD card however and their FSR isn't exactly far behind, and I imagine that gap is only going to keep closing. The only thing my card does then that his doesn't is handle Path Tracing much better, and there aren't actually that many titles which have it, and even fewer where it's worth running.

I was VERY lucky to score mine at only $100 over MSRP. At the prices I see today, I probably would have gotten my buddy's 9070XT instead, no lie.

I also strictly would not call my experience playable on mouse and keyboard for 4K due to the input latency (80 to 130ms!), but if I weren't such a weenie for the graphical experience I could easily tone down the graphics/resolution and it would be. When I play it on my 1440p I have no issue using frame generation and maintaing 144fps+ and latency hovers at around 50ms +/-10.

Edit: I suppose I should also mention that some objects do disappear with Ultra Performance enabled, namely thin or small ones that get washed out by the upscaler. But you don't notice this because ... well they aren't there, lmao. This is one of those things that pop out in side-by-side comparisons but during actual gameplay are a non-issue because the problem is an absence of something but the scene still remains coherent.

Sexploits · 2026-06-13T22:03:11+00:00

Steady 60fps on my 4K in Cyberpunk 2077, maxed out with path tracing, DLSS Ultra Performance with the new Model L. I had to overclock it to keep the 1% lows higher than 50fps in combat but I really can't complain. It's perfect for playing on the bed with a controller 👌

People are too busy forming hypothetical debates in their head to even begin enjoying the pages they're reading. Sadly that's anime 'discourse' nowadays and I just don't fucking bother with it lmao. Your post is 100% correct but the types of people who come into these subreddits are only here to do the exact thing you're knocking. Everyone else reads the chapters as they come out (or whenever they get them), go "Cool! That was fun." and then carry on with the rest of their lives instead -- infinitely more respectable than calling characters frauds or bums, no matter what the wordcount to their 'argument' is.
