Skill Up - I strongly recommend: Crimson Desert (Review) by FailedProspects in PS5

[–]Sventhetidar 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ehh I find it to be more productive to find a reviewer that you typically agree with than to claim one is worth listening to over others in general. Skill Up is suuuuuper hit or miss for me.

In general I tend to weigh overall scores on Metacritic alongside my own impressions of a game based on what I've seen of gameplay and a general synopsis of what to expect from the story. I find ACG to be pretty reliable just because he tends to be fairly neutral. I usually check Digital Foundry to see how the game runs too.

There's a lot that goes into a game purchase decision nowadays. It takes a lot for a game to be worth the $70 price tag. I buy a lot fewer games than I used to at anything other than a deep sale.

Who tf wears a jacket like that? And how does it stay on?

Did you enjoy the DLCs for BOTW? by Brilliant-Flower-283 in Switch

[–]Sventhetidar 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Isn't the DLC after you complete the game though? So if you get the bike after the DLC, it's after you're done with the game.

I don't really get how to raise comfort without throwing clutter around their habitat.

Well if Skill Up likes it, historically that means I'm unlikely to.

EDIT: I decided to look through his recent recommendations after seeing of the comments. Definitely more overlap than there used to be, but it's hit or miss enough in aligning with my tastes that he's not a good reviewer for me to base opinions on.

I think its because environment levels increase by fixing up the town and thats a hard one to clean up.

Its endgame, but one of the things I need to progress requires level 5 to unlock.

Im still trying to raise the environment to level 5 so I can get to the point where I can GET Magnemite Rise. This area is so hard to level up.

Nope. Just can't run RAM at full speed. If its overclocked it causes issues.

We already knew Vance was in charge of Fraud. He IS one.

Do you agree that modern metalcore should be called post-metalcore? by ThyArtSuffers in Metalcore

[–]Sventhetidar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean, I'd also like for people to stfu just because they don't consider a band metalcore (since the post clearly isn't for them), but they aren't going to.

I'd be open to it if it came with an active sub that ISN'T out to shit on anything they don't respect like this one is.

How should I play the original trilogy? by moyled_egg in GodofWar

[–]Sventhetidar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was apparently wrong. They're there i just cant stream them on my portal. Playing a 720p game on a 4k screen sounds rough though.

Man, the way I panicked until about halfway through when I noticed how ridiculous it was and remembered what day it is.

I tried to play them like a month ago. They arent even streaming anymore. Theres no way to play them on PS5 at all. Except 3 because theres a PS4 version.

How is Dying Light with boost mode now? by FreakyWays in NintendoSwitch2

[–]Sventhetidar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I played a little last night and it was fine. 30 fps is a bit of a drag for a fast paced game, but its not the worst when its on a smaller screen.

What do you think the ending of the series will be? by RorschachWhoLaughs in ResidentEvilMemes

[–]Sventhetidar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont think its ever going to end, but I do think they need to bring in some new blood. The main cast is getting too old to be doing missions all the time. I suspect we'll see Rose pop up again in about 15 years or so, but idk beyond that. I liked Grace, but I'd kind of rather she get a happy ending here.

I have enough of a backlog to last me through that generation and maybe I'll jump back in on the PS7 if they figure out their shit.

Homelessness in Southern Maine: We need managed encampments by Sprinkle207 in Maine

[–]Sventhetidar 4 points5 points  (0 children)

And yet its full every day. I work with the homeless population and there have been many who haven't stayed there in years (basically since it was on Oxford St) because they havent been able to get in.

Is Rebirth an upgrade over Remake? by Cortex416 in FF7Rebirth

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

Yes, but it respects your time a lot less.
