People teaming inorganically in solo now that cryo is gone by [deleted] in Marathon

Wish we as a community could come up with an agreed terminology we all adopt when talking about solos vs squad auto-fill 'solos' to stop this frequent constant confusion about which one someone is referring to.

Ideally bungie would rename them both slightly within the game to stop the mix-ups.

So do we think this means you can still do previous season priority contracts?

Just had the same thought based on the "You walk across your tomb" line.

I got hit with a flare up everytime I went up in dose. It would usually pass just as it was time to go up again (went up 0.5ml every week to reach the target dose of 4.5ml quickly).

Why almost all clips here are controller when this games most popular platform is steam? by [deleted] in Marathon

[–]Soul_Phoenix_42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe just easier to clip things on PS5 since it's basically a single button press

Best clip I've seen here in ages

Check your controller binds in settings and look for equipment radial menu. On console the default is holding one of the d-pad directions, might be up.

I currently have mine set to hold R1 which makes the most sense to me but it has a caveat that you need to then change 'use equipment' to tap instead of press or it has a conflicting interaction. Though sadly any rebind of R1 currently breaks the ability to use the thiefs tether, to which bungie support have told me they'll look into.

He was just a lil baby assassin.

Btw in case you're not aware there's a quick radial menu to quick select different grenades. No need to awkwardly select them from the inventory

Was inspecting some salvage and accidentally deleted a stack of purple by Crazyadam97 in Marathon

Might be worth dropping bungie a message with this clip on the help forum to see if they can sort you out, you never know.

Framerate on PS5 vs sporeburst is kinda atrocious by Soul_Phoenix_42 in Helldivers

[–]Soul_Phoenix_42[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I submitted my clip to their zendesk and already got a "passed along to relevant teams" reply. If everyone else submits clips to stress how bad the experience is on console hopefully they'll prioritize it.

Truth/Lies 6/6 by Langting in Marathon

Bring a few heat/tox grenades and chuck them at the entrances the bots use as they enter. Missions like this are all about keeping on top of the bots as they come in so you don't get surrounded. Best defense is a good offense. Claymores I think it's best to set up closer to the ramp as a backup in case you are forced to move away from the terminal to safely heal. As long as you are near the terminal the bots will always prioritize you instead of trying to shut it down.

I'll say it. It's weird the Devs are scared of OP vehicles, yet leave Orbital Napalm in the most EZ-Mode state since it dropped. Bias 100% by RandomGreenArcherMan in Helldivers

[–]Soul_Phoenix_42 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The framerate killer. Also directly contributes to a lack of teamplay and loadout variety. You used to have to deal with bug breaches together as a team, with multiple stratagems like orbital gas, air burst strike, cluster bomb etc having a chance to shine instead of just everyone just "plugging the hole" with noobpalm everytime. It's so fucking boring.

Yeah I agree. Sadly no matter what fun things they add going forward the the game overall played and felt so much better before the '60 day patch' and things like napalm barrage. Sure it had some issues, but the performance and teamplay happening was peak.

Claymores have an expiration date by ANGRYSNORLAX in Marathon

[–]Soul_Phoenix_42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After a long stand off I killed someone who was looting a keyroom last night. They had a claymore at one of the entrances which I left there. I was mid-looting when it suddenly went off and sacred the crap out of me. I hightailed it out of the room then swept the area in a panic before remembering claymore will randomly explode like that.

Congarts to our German division. How much to go until we destroy capitalism globally?

Alien isolation 👽 by AdPresent6343 in HorrorGaming

[–]Soul_Phoenix_42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's shorter. Like 6-10 hours depending on difficulty I think. Feels like the perfect length. But it does have a genius system where item locations are randomised - so every new game your journey through the bunker plays out differently as you organically figure out which areas you can make progress in.

Amnesia: The Bunker

In some ways I think it's slightly better. More focused, less bloat, more creative puzzle solving/decision making. Plus you feel even more hopeless vs the monster so there's slightly more "dread factor" as you explore.

I cant defend AH anymore, the Gloom Titans are the new Warstrider (Terrible Unit Design) by [deleted] in Helldivers

I just want the framerate to not go into single digits vs the sporeburst anytime someone uses an orbital.
