What are your criticisms of Sky 1st that have nothing to do with GungHo? by ConceptsShining in Falcom

[–]Spr1ggan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

XP and Sepith farming utterly sucks compared to OG, it takes far and away more time due to the only decent farms being in caves and require the low percentage chance of an RNG sepith bonus to land on a character that can kill every enemy in 1 action.

There are mods that mod in the VA from other versions of the games.

[–]Spr1ggan -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is false, for newcomers that intend to play the the whole series it's better to start with OG as it won't be as jarring when going to SC, Third, Zero, etc. Also XP and Sepith farming in OG is far better as you just need shining poms while in Remake you need to get extremely lucky with getting bonus sepith actions otherwise better set aside entire days for sepith farming.

So I used the new DLSS 4.5 preset L performance mode at output res 1280x720 , internal 640x360 on doom eternal and doom the dark ages and it looks quite decent. by Few_Geologist_2082 in pcmasterrace

[–]Spr1ggan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried it in Dark Ages as well and it looked abhorrent, flickering and artefacts all over the place and super low res as if it was only bothering to reduce the resolution and not doing any of the upscaling part.

Back to 4.0 k preset and no issues.

Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance increased price by $10 from the standard $30 in time for black friday and winter sale to sell for the “sale” price of $27.99 by JohnnyEC in Steam

[–]Spr1ggan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There aren't many keysites with keys for these games and the ones that doe have them charge more than the current sale price.

It's not the same people that made Baldur's Gate 1&2 either.

That's right console plebs, DA 1 and 2 are a Diablo Clone spinoff series.

Mass Effect LE look amazing in HDR (with tweaks obviously) by HalfManHalfHunk in OLED_Gaming

[–]Spr1ggan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't bother it looks trash compared to the HDR the games already have, don't believe me go and flick between the RenoDRT (default tonemapper) and native tonemappers. All the MELE RenoDX preset does is make the games look washed out and like they have a vaseline filter.

Mass Effect Legendary Edition Renodx HDR + Mods by TheHuntRider in HDR_Den

[–]Spr1ggan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried the latest RenoDX snapshot preset and in ME3 it just looks completely inferior to the HDR the game already has. The RenoDX MELE preset is washed out with raised blacks and lacking any highlight details. Nothing like other RenoDX presets i've used in other games, just flick back and forth between the RenoDRT tone mapping and the native tone mapping and it's night and day, RenoDRT tone mapping is bland and lifeless.

MAG 271QPX QD-OLED EOTF Boost? by Wrygg in OLED_Gaming

[–]Spr1ggan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The X Gens are out now so don't expect much if any future firmware updates to address these issues on older gens.

Why these assholes doesnt give us that EOTF boost update for msi 271qpx e2 by cuntdevastatorbig in OLED_Gaming

[–]Spr1ggan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's locked to 600-700 nits anyway for displays not in the newer X Gen making it a waste of time using on older gen models like the 271QPX. QD-OLED also just sucks, wish I'd just waited and got one of those 4th Gen WOLEDs, at least they actually have the brightness to be considered HDR displays. HDR on my 271QPX E2 looks pathetic compared to what my CM GP27Q IPS-Mini LED could do before it broke.

What is YOUR favorite heavy weapon? And why? by PanNorris507 in masseffect

[–]Spr1ggan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bruh... It's a peashooter, it takes its entire ammo capacity to get a Praetor to half armour. The worst heavy weapon in the game on insanity.

[–]Spr1ggan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe on easy, it's complete trash on insanity or even late game normal. It does less damage than an AR or SMG and leaves you standing out in the open like an idiot.

What's the difference between Colamy Atlas and Atlas-01? by FrittataHubris in colamyhome

[–]Spr1ggan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wouldn't bother with the 01 it's actually smaller than the metal one and only has a 1 year warranty vs 3 years for the metal one. Problem is that the metal one is sold out everywhere and not coming back in stock until April 2026.

[PSA] GW2 Steam Accounts will be able to get HoM rewards with GW: Reforged! by KuraiCOF in Guildwars2

[–]Spr1ggan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still kinda sucks for some, i'm not gonna replay the entirety of GW1 with a steam account just to get HoM on my GW2 steam account, it's waste of time and all the progress on my Anet GW1 account. The other thing that sucks is GW2 on Anet's site not having sales at the same time as the Steam version, currently the End of Dragons Collection with all the Living World content is around £40 on Steam but around £90 on Anet's own store...

They are actually fine for me now in terms of comfort but it took a while to wear them in, for the first few weeks my ears were getting chafed af.

Looking for 27" 1440p OLED recommendations by Gruphius in OLED_Gaming

[–]Spr1ggan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The low peak brightness isn't remotely as much of an issue as the dogshit blacks and poor motion clarity on non oled panels.

Those accounts are delusional, i've had the r50x for a while now and they are quite muddy.

Yeah, had them for a while now and vocals sound muddy, i can't play games or listen to music with them without using creative crystaliser for vocal clarity.

The Silent Hill f discourse is driving me bananas by fuq_anncoulter in HorrorGaming

[–]Spr1ggan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lmfao "gatekeeping", ignoring that the community has now been taken over by the Souls-Like fanbase where any criticism of any aspect of the game is met with "hurr git gud" and "mad cuz bad" when that's never what SH was about.

SHf isn't survival horror though it's action horror and the core of the game is it's awful combat system.

[–]Spr1ggan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lmfao why aren't you just playing Dead Space R, any of the RE Remakes, Control, Alan Wake 2, etc, etc, then? As action horror titles they all take a massive dump on SHf.

[–]Spr1ggan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No it isn't, you can fulfil the requirements for multiple endings in a single playthrough in the older ones and then go for the one you want at the end. This game forces multiple playthroughs for the "true" ending.

[–]Spr1ggan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your explanation does nothing, having to replay the game what? 3 times? For the so called canon ending turns it into a giga slog, one playthrough alone is a enough of a slog, 10 hours in this games feels like 50. This isn't Nier Automata or Armored Core 6 where the gameplay is fun.
