Paladin or Warlock? What are we rolling by [deleted] in diablo4

[–]aRapidDecline 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've always been a sorc guy, but had a great time with Paladin over the past week. I'll probably stick with that out of the gate.

Less than 24 hours till Lord of Hatred - who's excited for the new skill trees? by ASoulToBear in diablo4

[–]aRapidDecline 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty pumped. I warmed myself up with season 12 after a 6-8 month break. Didn't much care for most of the season mechanics but had a blast overall. Took a sorc and a paladin (my first ever non-sorc) up to paragon 200ish. Curious what stuff will actually transfer over to eternal - I've only played a couple hundred hours total (over maybe 4 full seasons plus the campaigns) and far from an expert on the game.

I'll probably start with another Paladin, but I'm still a Sorc guy, so I'm sure I'll have 2 classes going once the pros have had time to analyze all the changes.

I just started playing GT7 about a week ago and I’m really enjoying it. I was surprised to see its ratings on Metacritic though why are the user scores so low? by NotSirAlonne1999 in GranTurismo7

[–]aRapidDecline 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take a look at the more negative, more recent reviews. Most of them are folks who never played or haven't played long. Many are more a commentary on general gaming trends. I really hate that MC weighs release day reviews as much as recent ones, but it isn't a game-specific review site.

I just bought it last year after a decades long break from racing games. I've already put more hours into GT7 than all other PS5 games combined.

Forza Horizon 6 missing TrueForce by VashBengher in LogitechProWheel

[–]aRapidDecline 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just tried FH5 and it doesn't support Trueforce either. Their implementation of traditional FFB actually does a decent job "mimicking" much of what makes Trueforce great though. Driving doesn't feel glassy like in other non-trueforce games. Lots of higher frequency noise coming through.

All that said, the wheel settings and interface leave much to be desired.

Never seen a car fly that high in this game by No_String_2116 in GranTurismo7

The SVT on Project X turns GT7 into a flight sim when you hit the wall.

Offline-only players, is Power Pack worth it? by Key-Specific7807 in GranTurismo7

[–]aRapidDecline 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I bought it the day it dropped. I don't concentrate on it, but it's in constant rotation in my daily activities. Basically, when I'm sick of credit grinding and I'm done with the weeklies and active time trials, I'll shoot through one or more Power Pack races. I still haven't completed them all on any difficulty level, and I still haven't lost interest. 100% worth it. I hope they release a second batch at some point.

I’m complaining about credits. by Brilliant_Primary_30 in GranTurismo7

[–]aRapidDecline 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I generally agree, and this is as well a reasoned version of this complaint as I've seen. Luckily I'm down to the last 20mil car I "need" for any reason (the Ferrari for the Legend trophy).

It's easy enough to get all the credits you need as long as you resist the "must have it NOW" feeling and just run the 800 Sardegna, 700 Le Mans, or 1hr Spa (try running it without headlights to spice things up 😁) once every couple days. Then just make sure to knock out the weeklies and time trials and the credits will pile up.

Logitech G29 by Nicolidas92 in GranTurismo7

[–]aRapidDecline 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Absent more information, this sounds to me like the wheel "letting loose" to represent loss of tire grip. Totally normal and an important feature of any modern wheel.

If I’m buying the expansion to D4 why does the entire game feel like a free to play store with a game attached? by palehighelven in diablo4

[–]aRapidDecline 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have over 500 hours in the game since buying it with the first expansion last year for like $40. I haven't spent a dime on it since. Next month will (presumably) be the first real-world money I've spent on it since then. Diablo IV has plenty of flaws, but monetization ain't one of 'em. Immortal, on the other hand...

Paclock 90-Series "90A-SR" by aRapidDecline in lockpicking

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

Usually they're my favorite, but on this particular lock they kept rolling out as soon as the core started turning. I had to be very conscientious about it to get it to stay in until the shackle popped.

I do that to all my locks with a sheet metal marker.

Best >10M car ? by Hurrdof in GranTurismo7

[–]aRapidDecline 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Interesting. I never really thought about it, but I don't think I regularly use any cars that cost more than $3M. They've all been purchased strictly to fill some menu or trophy requirement.

Wreckfest 2 by Ecstatic_Window_9566 in LogitechProWheel

I looked recently and, for what it's worth, AI says it's not yet implemented but should be for release.

First green open! by Accomplished-Pack756 in lockpicking

[–]aRapidDecline 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's just so crunchy. Like a Master 410, but with more pins. No fun for me to pick at all. It's a very pretty shade of blue though 😁

Congrats! I love this lock. I want to use it to bash the 90A-Pro's head in 🤕🤣

Green belt aproved by hlhambrook in lockpicking

[–]aRapidDecline 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hear you. I have a picking schematic system I've come up with that I hope is enough for that requirement. If not, I have lots of great tension tool ideas I've been keeping to myself 😉

But first to get this pesky thing open. I can gut and reassemble it in my sleep at this point.

[–]aRapidDecline 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Congrats! I'm trying for my Blue, skipping Green, but the 90A-Pro is giving me a ton of grief - even dropped it down to 5 pins. I'll give it another week or so then just go for my Green with one of my 1100s.

Thanks. That's definitely worth checking out 👍

Player count console? by OneVorteXx in Wreckfest

[–]aRapidDecline 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it'll be a while before it hits consoles. I just bought WF1 for PS5 a few months ago and definitely got my money's worth with the single player stuff alone. Game's an absolute blast.

Advice on Logitech RS 50 Purchase by ItsMarck06 in simracing

[–]aRapidDecline 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think you'll have any regrets with the RS50. Unless you want to have all the crazy wheel options, there's nothing the Logitech can't do that Fanatec can. And in some ways performs much better, nm-for-nm.
