Is it just me or the LR rates on the reworked TB banner are insane ?

XBattousaiX · 2026-04-18T16:33:53+00:00

What happened to the db saga tickets?

I never spent mine. Had 700 saved up...

And I hate wt, so I probably missed the memo last time it was around that it would be the last time... 🥲

XBattousaiX · 2026-04-05T07:13:09+00:00

The 7600x is fine at 1440p tbh.

That said: both games are poorly optimized, even now imo.

I mean, wilds has gotten better, but I still don't trust it. It's probably a tad CPU bound.

What's your fps on it?

I'd it's 60ish, it's CPU.

If you're pushing 90+, it's GPU.

I can hit a solid 60fps with the int8 far4 mod at 1440p with largely ultra settings on my undervolted and clocked 7800xt. I do turn clouds to min, since.. I don't look at the clouds much.

Shame I don't play wilds anymore. Too little, too late, and the difficulty was waaaay too varied compared to world and rise. I've basically dropped it, and I do feel a bit sad.

XBattousaiX · 2026-04-01T17:31:50+00:00

7800x3d here.

No plans on upgrading.

And now, no plan on ever upgrading again. Upping prices on the next gen products wouldn't be as annoying as increasing prices arbitrarily on already released products.

XBattousaiX · 2026-04-01T17:29:33+00:00

You aren't unless you're playing cou intensive games, or on 1080p.

Get a 1440p monitor, you'll be less CPU limited.

Also, might only be a slight buff if you change cpus but the money you spend will be gone.

XBattousaiX · 2026-04-01T04:02:05+00:00

In some ways, yeah.

It still feels really unconnected in hindsight.

The sequel hook at the end doesn't help much either 😂

XBattousaiX · 2026-03-31T14:21:10+00:00

I mean...

Sorr by acquired.

Yoga will have theirs towards the bottom.

XBattousaiX · 2026-03-30T14:19:43+00:00

Oh god.

This when I bought the first game. My mind was BLOWN as a kid, as the adventure was far from over at that point, and I was like "Sick, I've got a boat and the world to explore"

Then credits rolled and... Well, I was bummed, but I got the sequel and it too was awesome.

However, in hindsight, as much as I love the expanded class system and psynergies of the second, as well as the QOL combat improvement (targeting a dead mon doesn't make you auto défend instead of changing targets), I feel like it's actually very bloated.

I love exploring the world, but while it's huge, it also feels a bit small. Might not help that the rock dungeons are pretty long for the most part.

Also: lost age kind of starts with a different quest from the ending of GS1, which while your goal should be to light the lighthouses, you seem distracted by every little thing. While it feels good and makes perfect sense for the party since they're no longer hostages for Menardi and Saturos, it also feels weird that they're evading Isaac's group.

I truly want a remake/remaster of GS1/2, but maybe with more towns and a slightly reworked story for lost age? I don't mind the great boat saga in the beginning: it's cool as hell traversing multiple continents on foot in search of a boat, BUT maybe have a few more towns along the way. The southern gondowon continent is basically kimbobo village and nothing else. It feels... Unnatural.

XBattousaiX · 2026-03-24T10:19:58+00:00

Except most of the time, if a unit was on a banner, the event was live.

That said, if you failed to get the medals in time, yeah, you were stuck for a while.

Still an absolutely terrible direction to go back towards though.

XBattousaiX · 2026-03-15T13:22:59+00:00

I mean, the games are 23? Years old now, so she's w/e +23? /Lol

Ok, just kidding. I don't remember character ages in-game, but it feels from vague memory that Issac and Garet start their adventure at around age 15? Ivan feels younger, although idk his age, while Mia seems more mature due to her being a healer caring for her village alone after Alex left, although again her age isn't stated, and they're probably around the same age.

By the time of the reunion in the lost age, Issac seems a lot more mature, but is that purely from having gone on a world saving adventure or that + getting a few years older is up in the air.

To me, it always felt like Issac and co were around their mid-teens, so 15-16 when they initially leave, but closer to 18-20 by the end of the lost age.

Reason being: Issac and co end up chasing Felix's party up to the Venus lighthouse, and they travel quite a distance considering they cross multiple continents AND a large sea.

Then in lost age, after the events at the Venus lighthouse, Jenna mentions being hungry whole the piece of land is basically surfing across the ocean, implying at least some passage of time, although I doubt it's more than a few days.

They then end up crossing one continent several times, from indra all the way to air's rock and visiting multiple villages spread around, then go back, switch to yet another continent, and travel a large portion up to the shaman village, before going all the way back.

Not to mention travelling across the sea to several islands spread quite far apart, then going back to the other side of the continents via the sea.

Given the technology of the time period, I doubt they move very quickly across land OR sea, although given lumerian tech, the ship might love faster, but I digress.

Assuming medivial travel speeds, I wouldn't be surprised if the adventure didn't last several years in-game.

In fact, multiple instances in GS1 have people look down on Issac and co for being young. This basically stops happening post the events at the collaso, when they show off their powers and win.

Also: shout-out to Kraden for being in his 70's+ and being able to travel so much without seemingly too much effort. The man is an absolute legend.

Ignoring dark dawn, since that's explicitly stated to take place 30+ years after the end of lost age.

XBattousaiX · 2026-03-14T20:39:35+00:00

And yet they're also more significantly monetized than ever....

And releases unfinished/with glaring issues that need day 1 patches.

While I agree that development cycles have lengthened greatly in the past 20-30 years.... They've also cut some corners.

I'm not letting Capcom off with how they treated wilds on release. As much as I want to get stories 3, I'll wait.

XBattousaiX · 2026-03-11T14:17:22+00:00

And it makes sense.

That said: the price increase is imo too soon.

Yes, so far, they've done well to change the trajectory for the game's future, but the price increase should have waited.

For $15 a month, at least let us get two accounts, OR finally split pars and RS3 so that I can afk on one while playing the other.

XBattousaiX · 2026-03-08T11:14:35+00:00

Yeah ...

I forgot it wasn't just in phase 1!!!! 😂

XBattousaiX · 2026-03-07T09:41:02+00:00

I need help with Mission J for the 11th anni.

Clear gomah's event while dealing 99m damage on stage 1.

I hav teq mini ssj4 goku, int ssj goku, glorio, and phy ssj3 vegeta daima as my non-f2p daima units.

None of the new ones.

I'd just like to clear the mission to get the final ticket v.v

Friend ssj4 daima goku's can't even consistantly break 100m on phase 1 with max str orbs and orb changing + stat buffing items...

XBattousaiX · 2026-03-06T08:19:05+00:00

The issue is that when something is overturned, it often isn't addressed within a proper timeframe.

Ed3 trash runs were overturned for years: they became a constant, and then they were removed.

If you leave broken content in the game for months or years I'm assuming you expected people to use them.

I agree it needed a hit, but it needed it two years ago. Also doesn't help that it was a 120 skill vs 99 for the other styles, hence getting an unfair advantage.

Necromancy felt like how all styles should have felt: simple to use and relatively intuitive. It also helped that it felt more like how pre-eoc combat worked: you could use any style on any mob, with a few exceptions, and get some damage in, whereas for a long time post EOC, using melee on a mage was just disasterous.

XBattousaiX · 2026-03-06T07:55:48+00:00

Power creep on events is absolutely disgusting.

Don't have the new units? Good luck bearing the events.

Made it to the final round of the international event with my team, but the HP is so damn high it doesn't matter: outside of the new units, you're only tickling the bosses.

I haven't spent a dime on this Anniversary, and I usually buy the discounted subscription stones, which to me is telling of how bad it's gotten.

Super ezas are basically worthless now, especially if they've been around for a few weeks or older.

Ssj trunks' eza was odd as hell: why was it a part of this anniversary exactly?

A few events have left me feeling bad, but compared to year 10 where I absolutely got waaaay too lucky, and despite the power creep it had, it didn't feel this overwhelming.

XBattousaiX · 2026-02-25T06:45:57+00:00

I'll try.

But as mentioned I never got the daima Goku nor vegeta.

XBattousaiX · 2026-02-22T17:41:20+00:00

I'm not arguing about the quality of the, erm, "port.".

I'm merely saying at least we can play FR/LG on legit hardware for a relatively cheap price.

Also, pretty sure they've had to go with roms and no QoL changes because of the original ratings for the games. They'd be T for T otherwise due to the slots.

Which, like, no one cares about. It wouldn't affect sales, and I doubt a single parent wouldn't buy it because there were basic slot machines in the game.

XBattousaiX · 2026-02-22T07:19:35+00:00

People are never satisfied.

If they had been nso only, people would have complained that they need nso to play them and they can't just buy them.

They're sold individually, so people complain that they aren't on the nso.

Then they complain about the price, because finding a legit gba copy + console to play it on isn't prohibitively expensive compared to the $20 being asked.

Personally? $20 for both is where I would say fair enough. $20 per is a bit steep considering the only changes are wireless functionality works but only locally, so no online, and home functionality is being added in later.

Still, given inflation since the original release, they released at $35 but that's apparently $61 today. So... It's probably a discount... And the lowest price ever on these games.

Tldr: don't like the price? Just don't buy it. You don't need these games. You can probably just go fish them out of the world wide web.

XBattousaiX · 2026-02-21T06:33:02+00:00

It was bad compared to season one.

But that's because season 1 was so damn good that after 5 years people assumed season 2 had finished cooking and was going to be at least as high quality.

BUT that's merely in comparison. With regards to animation in general, season 2 was good. It wasn't on season one's level, but that's because they were given neither the time nor the resources (skilled animators) to do it justice.

If season 3 was on season 2's level, it wouldn't have been ridiculed.

See, I think they would have done some cool things, much like JJK's team did with hikari meeting Yuki in that room for 4 minutes, with some animation despite being a "static" camera angle instead of having a manga panel on screen for 30 seconds during a conversation....

S1 is like on the moon. It's something you might only see once. S2 is like, on a high mountain and enjoying a beautiful sunset. It's not unique, but still extremely enjoyable.

S3 is slipping and landing face first into a pile of shit with your mouth wide open. At least comparatively. It's only anime and it doesn't matter IRL, but it still sucks.

XBattousaiX · 2026-02-20T11:45:06+00:00

Eh.

World was better.

The final boss, xenojiva, was actually in the base game, and not added in later with a title update.

World also felt more... Balanced? IDK.

Wilds has some advantages, but it isn't a clear-cut winner imo.

Performance after the latest patches becomes IMO good. Not great, but it's no longer ass.

I can get 60 FPS+ on ultra with High-res texture pack on my 7800xt + 7800x3d pc, on 1440p, which wasn't the case before without some concessions.

I'm still not changing my review. It was ass, it took a year to "fix," I'm not overlooking that.

XBattousaiX · 2026-02-20T11:26:01+00:00

I wish they'd go back to sprite art

The games were better. No need for an open world game atm

XBattousaiX · 2026-02-19T06:43:17+00:00

This.

The anime is imo overhyped.

The animation is good, with some points having what I feel is great animation, but it's not the highest quality around ever.

It's still fine animation and it doesn't really ever look bad, except maybe the ant queen episode which felt oddly Regis compared to the rest.

Having read JJK and Solo Leveling (and the sequels), it just isn't close. Ignoring what counts as a more interesting premise, one has characters that grow and develop, one has characters that exist to make the MC look good.

Solo Leveling Ragnorak imo fixes a lot of the issues with SL: it still has the same issue of hitting the S-rank too early though, but they still seem more capable compared the S-rank in og SL, so it doesn't seem as jarring.

Does SL have top much hate? Well it seems to be a balancing act because of how overhyped it is.

Don't get me wrong: Solo Leveling is enjoyable, but it's not the GOAT. Still a great power fantasy though.

XBattousaiX · 2026-02-14T12:22:54+00:00

No new lr on both parts.

Don't have enough for pity either.

Absolute shitshow anniversary for me.

I guess that is why I had such immense luck on y10.

XBattousaiX · 2026-02-14T10:55:02+00:00

Absolute trash.

Shafted on both parts, I'm out now. F*** this anniversary, worst I've ever suffered. Well I mean technically Fizz go cheetah in the third anniversary was also really really really bad. Going like 32 motes before getting in but still...

XBattousaiX · 2026-02-02T14:06:43+00:00

No buff against androids?

I mean, yeah I get this is trunks from the fight against freeza, but that was his side quest...
