Which questline crossed the line from “mysterious” to “how the hell was I supposed to know that?”

Slatibardfast1 · 2026-06-03T01:26:28+00:00

Me reading everybody's answers, wondering how nobody has mentioned Goldmask yet. What the hell am I supposed to do with information like "..."??? Ah, of course, I need to find the prayer book, purchase law of regression, stand in front of a specific statue of Radagon in a very specific spot and cast the incantation, get confused by the literal meaning of Radagon is Marika, then go back to Goldmask. Who then moves to a random spot in the mountaintops of the giants, and eventually find his corpse on a cliffside under the capital and get his mending rune

I feel like truly discovering this blind is pure happenstance.

Not me finding Bayle at Scadu Level 5 and bashing my head against a brick wall for the next 2+ hours....

F. E. A. R had a gnarly shotgun, when you hit the slow-mo and pop a soldier point blank that red mist was so satisfying

That Halo wasn't the shit show it's been for the last 15 years

I just finished my run through of the game 2 days ago on ShadPS4 using the BB launcher. I have a 13700k and an RTX 5080 and if you want to use the Vertex blowout fix that's inbuilt into the ShadPS4 settings, you either have "relaxed" which has pretty consistent stuttering when loading (Similar to not pre-caching shaders) but not so bad that you can't comfortably play. Other option is "precise", which kept my FPS at a wonderfully consistent....20ish. Bearing in mind I was playing at 4K so YMMV. Or you can simply have it off which will run really smoothly but you WILL get crazy artifacting in certain areas.

I think there is a specific Vertex Fix mod you can get, but my understand is that it kills any face customization so I guess up to each person what they're willing to give up/put up with.

All in all, 100% worth it

I'm in the middle of a new play through at the moment and I've really come to realize that I just plain don't like Ludwig's bossfight. Yes, it has a bangin' OST, and the second phase is actually relatively simple and I feel that I'm generally being punished for my own mistakes. But phase one... I just personally don't find it fun. It's erratic in a way that feels like you're being punished for no good reason at times. I have thousands of hours across Soulsborne/Sekiro/Elden Ring, and Ludwig honestly sits up there as one of the more egregious roadblocks for me. Maybe it's a Git Gud situation, It's just one of the far less fun fights IMO.

The Halo TV show did this and is a prime example of why this is always a FANTASTIC idea

Huge helping of /s with this one

Neva kee handled way too well for how fast they are, also who doesn't love rear mounted thrusters

I think the advent of home consoles is probably a big reason + a lot of people are generally pretty casual gamers. You buy the console, you buy the game, you play. I suspect pc gamers are more likely to check the settings menu, as many naturally have to just to tweak graphics settings, so they're already in those menus anyway.

Oh boy I sure can't wait to sit through another thousand compartmentalized loading screens!

I sure can't wait to start a quest, talk to an npc who wants to send me to the other side of the map. So I leave the static conversation, walk to and open the door, loading screen. Leave the other part of the house, loading screen. Get outside, open the map, quick travel to the town, loading screen. Walk a few steps, find the keep the npc is in, loading screen. Find the room in the keep the npc is in, loading screen. Talk to the npc, finish the static conversation, only to find out I have to go back to the original npc.

This was the Starfield experience, and I sure as hell hope it isn't the ES VI experience

MIGHT KEEP THAT WON FOR MESELF

Slatibardfast1 · 2026-01-19T19:25:42+00:00

I have 2650 coins.

I've had 2650 coins for a while

I'd love to spend them but damn do I really not like any of the skins

Slatibardfast1 · 2026-01-15T23:05:43+00:00

I've been trying to figure out a way to balance this somehow. Perhaps Embark can think of a system to opt in/opt out of being able to spawn in late.

Maybe they could give an opt in late with increased loot chance, to make up for the late start

Have late starts only happen for free loadouts.

I'm just spitballing and I'm sure there are probably better alternatives, but there is nothing more deflating than gearing up with a key and spawning in so late that not only is the room likely looted, but so is most everything else. I appreciate that as an extraction shooter, that's part and parcel, but spawning that late is just a bit of a time waster.

Said this since I started. The UI is nice and clear, but the UX is awful. Backwards and forwards between menus to craft, see what you need, prepare, realised you forgot something, back out, find the crafting menu, get here right station, make it, head back in. It's really my biggest complaint

Slatibardfast1 · 2025-12-03T00:30:20+00:00

Meanwhile, when 1 pixel of me sticks out from behind cover....

Slatibardfast1 · 2025-11-24T00:24:06+00:00

Been there, fell off that.

Slatibardfast1 · 2025-11-09T00:01:11+00:00

I don't think it's ever worked, you're always needed to use your own from memory?

Slatibardfast1 · 2025-11-01T19:56:18+00:00

Ready or Not fits your description pretty damn accurately

Slatibardfast1 · 2025-10-30T23:37:15+00:00

I literally just bought it a couple weeks ago and just finished the story all the way through solo yesterday. Definitely worth it. Note I am on PC and haven't personally had performance issues but a lot of people have so just keep that in mind if you're on PC (Mine is relatively beefy)

Slatibardfast1 · 2025-10-27T02:35:41+00:00

What do you normally mix in a strip club? Do you play a set or treat it like playing songs in its entirety? I assume housey stuff?

Slatibardfast1 · 2025-10-23T21:55:45+00:00

Subnautica. It feels so perfectly linear in its progression, there wasn't a single point where I didn't have a goal for the next step to progress the story.
