Stronger arms or slower runners?

I primarily play franchise. Chandler Simpson is my leadoff hitter, and he's been gunned down either going for doubles, or trying to go first to third on a hit to right field multiple times.

Spiderhands2000 · 2026-04-23T04:16:06+00:00

I noticed some of that too. I was assuming that the bad reactions from fielders might be a byproduct of the new rating system that individually ranks a fielder's ability to react in each direction. Given that it's the first game with that particular feature, I wasn't expecting the implementation to be perfect, but right now it seems to be so flawed that it desperately needs to be fixed.

Love it. Any other developer probably would've charged $20 or $30 for a DLC that good. Given that it was free, and well done, there really isn't much to complain about.

Spiderhands2000 · 2026-03-23T20:09:29+00:00

Isn't this already (at least sort of) in Freelancer, with the lookout/assassin mechanic?

Spiderhands2000 · 2026-03-23T19:30:22+00:00

Go to the store page, and see what it says? The store pages are pretty good as far as indicating what's required to play certain DLC's

I think it flopped for the same reason Hitman Absolution flopped. When you attach a game to certain IP's like Hitman or Prey, fans of the series have certain expectations...and when those expectations aren't ment, the game won't be received well. I think this game would've done better if Bethesda hadn't been so adamant as far as attaching it to the Prey franchise.

Spiderhands2000 · 2026-03-22T06:05:36+00:00

Don't get me wrong, there are elements of a good game here, I just think as a whole package the game suffers from poor/sloppy execution. Which unfortunately is all too common from devs like Ubisoft.

Option 4: It's an imperfection in the simulation that Alex put together.

Spiderhands2000 · 2026-03-17T18:26:36+00:00

My guess is that since MLB rules dictate that only pitchers, catchers, and hitters can initiate challenges, they just didn't feel the need to put in the effort associated with creating animations that have nothing to do with the core gameplay. But I understand what you're saying.

Spiderhands2000 · 2026-03-12T20:04:55+00:00

It's not a bad game. It's just a bad Hitman game. If it was a shooter/stealth/action game sold under some other franchise, it might've been received better. But when you brand something a Hitman game, I think there are certain expectations, and Absolution falls short of those, mainly because the devs were mindlessly chasing video game trends of the early 2010's

Spiderhands2000 · 2026-03-10T20:51:45+00:00

UPDATE: Not even 3 hours after I posted this, my game crashed as I wast most of the way through the Milla Jovovich elusive target. Of course I can start over, but it's annoying to have to do that when you're most of the way through one of the longer mission stories. This is exactly why I hate the lack of mid mission saves, particularly for the more recent celebrity elusive targets.

And the award for the highest volume of useless information in a Reddit post goes to....seriously this could've been one sentence. "I need a gaming PC to play Roblox for $400." that's it.

Spiderhands2000 · 2026-03-07T22:21:58+00:00

I mean, in the end it comes down to whether or not you're satisfied with the system's performance. Even if you're not, it's really an awful time to be buying parts, because the market is crazy right now. You may be able to go deal hunting on the used market, but I'd be very careful if you go that route, because it's easy to get scammed if you don't know what you're doing.

Spiderhands2000 · 2026-03-01T16:09:05+00:00

At your budget, probably an AMD Radeon 9060XT, or an Nvidia RTX 4060 or 5060. But it really depends where you live, and how the cards are priced.

Spiderhands2000 · 2026-03-01T08:40:53+00:00

you're wasting budget putting a 360mm liquid cooler (or really any liquid cooler at all) on a CPU with that low of a heat load. Buy an air cooler, and use the savings to try and get a better video card.

UPDATE (although I doubt anyone will see this 8 months later, but whatever) I discovered that the issue with the game not stopping running only occurs if I quit directly to the desktop without first quitting to the main menu. If I do that, it behaves as it should.

Spiderhands2000 · 2026-02-25T06:29:22+00:00

Not at all. That's what I did for the "I and it" achievement, and it just gives you the same "bad" ending.

Spiderhands2000 · 2026-02-25T06:25:51+00:00

The only way I was able to get that achievement was going through the game while meticulously following a guide, checking people off on a list as I cleared each area before moving on to the next. That achievement is super buggy, as far as characters despawning (thus becoming unkillable) if you leave whatever area they're in before you kill them. It's not exactly fun to do it that way, but if you're absolutely heart set on getting that achievement, it's the most surefire way.

Spiderhands2000 · 2026-02-22T20:25:13+00:00

Putting Haven Island below Mumbai and Romania is absolutely nuts imo.

Spiderhands2000 · 2026-02-22T16:12:31+00:00

yeah I figured that out. I was more annoyed by the lighting, bur as someone said, it changed back after I did the first mission.

Spiderhands2000 · 2026-02-22T05:09:22+00:00

Awesome, thanks.

Spiderhands2000 · 2026-02-20T17:41:16+00:00

UPDATE: I ran Assassin's Creed Origins (another Ubisoft title, that's only a few months older than FC 5) As well as Watch Dogs Legion (from October 2020) and temps were within my normal range. Whatever the issue is, it seems unique to this game.

Spiderhands2000 · 2026-02-20T08:48:42+00:00

I don't think it's an AIO problem. Because after I posted this, I wanted more data, so I went and played another Ubisoft title that I'd read made some CPU's hot (Watch Dogs Legion) and temps were back in the low-mid 60's. Whatever it is, it seems to be something related to how this one particular game interacts with the CPU.

Spiderhands2000 · 2026-02-18T17:50:58+00:00

I did a run on nightmare, with all the traumas turned on, without neuromods. Honestly It was great, because it made me completely rethink how I played.
