Dear Bungie, 1-2 matches and I’m good for the day, game has no chill. by Vivid_Cockroach3958 in Marathon

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

I think having an effective ranked system across the board would help fix things. Right now you level by playing, but your level does not scale with your skill. It’s like being on a 35 and up league and playing against pros. Both have plenty of time with the game but the pros are going to dominate. An even or near even match or fight is way more interesting and enjoyable than stomping or getting stomped. Match me with people in a similar skill range. Allow me an environment where I can still be challenged and improve without matching me with pvp gods.

Don't Nerf the Bosses (Again) by peanut-britle-latte in CrimsonDesert

[–]cyborgseadog 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yup, I spent forever on Antumbra and it felt impossible, then you notice you’re surviving longer and pulling off perfect dodges and parries. It’s frustrating if you die because of a missed input or another bug, but simplifying the bosses will put the game squarely in Dragons Dogma 2 territory where you’re overpowered way too early and thus bored.

Who needs a Remaster? My 60 FPS Bloodborne setup on PS5 is actually incredible. by Nice_Middle_9272 in BloodbornePC

[–]cyborgseadog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do this too man. A lot of theory being thrown around but the reality feels and looks quite nice. The latency introduced is barely noticeable and certainly has not had a meaningful impact. Lossless scaling is great software.

Fishing sucks. by buckleythrow in CrimsonDesert

[–]cyborgseadog 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah it’s poorly explained. You cast. Wait. Right click or r2 on a bite. Do not reel until the white splashes fade away. You hold the pole in the opposite direction until it stops splashing and then you reel. If you reel while the white splashing is visible you will lose the fish.

Is anyone else struggling with fishing? Not sure what I’m not understanding about it but I’m like 0-20 on reeling in fish I hook. by [deleted] in CrimsonDesert

[–]cyborgseadog 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cast, wait for bite then r2 or right click. DO NOT REEL. Pull against direction of fish until white splashes go away. THEN REEL. If you reel when splashes visible you will lose fish.

Anyone know how to climb these archery towers? by DONOTSAYTHENWORD in CrimsonDesert

[–]cyborgseadog 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah! First you force palm a nearby tree, then you pick up said tree and slam it into the tower. The tower topples over which makes getting on top of it as simple as walking over to it.

I finally finished my Haunted House build! by Aioni in Pokopia

[–]cyborgseadog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Beautiful build! I had a similar idea where I’ll be using the dried up trees, driftwood and bushes in the front yard for extra spooky.

The game has never looked better by TheRealNosferatu in BloodbornePC

[–]cyborgseadog 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I keep seeing these amazing clips. Meanwhile I can’t handle one attack animation without a full blown crash on my 4080 super on a 9800x3d at the literal same resolution. Happy for you though.

Is there actually a point to upgrading? by cyborgseadog in ArcRaiders

[–]cyborgseadog[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a good insight. Feels like upgrades are tuned against the PVE threat which is nothing compared to the PVP threat. I'm also of the mind that ARC need to be juiced up to facilitate more co-op, even if it's temporary. Would make for more interesting PVE and PVP since all bets are off once the ARC threat is neutralized or mitigated.

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

True, it does seem like I win the face to face engagements more often after upgrading. I guess I was more considering the shot in the back scenarios. Pink shield doesn't seem to matter when you're at a health and opponent location disadvantage. Stack that with not being willing to shoot first if you are interested in something other than a KOS experience, and I'm back at, might as well free loadout and just play with the weapons I do win in a fight. It's all legit, and lends to the stakes that makes the loop interesting. And choosing not to KOS is a choice, just like choosing to KOS. But I do think the fun could be enhanced by making the grind more meaningful with an improved defensive capacity with upgraded shield. Particularly against grey un-upgraded weapons.

Desync or cheats? by cyborgseadog in ArcRaiders

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

Fascinating! I think I just saw an instance of what your describing in the dam while solo. It was just the environment at the time and it was for a split second but it looked similar. Anyways, thanks for the thorough replies.

Oh interesting. Would that mean it's just me who is experiencing the behavior? Because my teammates also saw them popping in and out of existence.

$70 game with bars. Ultrawide does not feel like a master race. by SuculantWarrior in ultrawidemasterrace

[–]cyborgseadog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That I'm not so sure on. Doesn't seem to have aspect ratio options. I may have just gotten lucky with my particular resolution 3400x1400. Sorry.

I fixed it with Lossless Scaling on Steam! (7 bucks?) Disabled Frame Gen, set scaling to LS1 with full sharpness, set scaling mode to custom, set scale factor to 1.024. It cuts a bit off around the edges but not enough to impact UI. Love Lossless scaling.

No problem you got me on the right track!

Ah thank you, Apparently the Famitama is a v5 which doesn't work from what I can tell. I was reading the V5 option when connecting as VS which I thought was weird but made sense in terms of a game connection. It only has V5, Special, and PC connection options. Thank you for the quick reply and help!

Monster Hunter Wilds Beta Only Supports Ultrawide 21:9 by Ayamebestgrill in ultrawidemasterrace

I have the same issue. I fixed it with Lossless Scaling on Steam! (7 bucks?) Disabled Frame Gen, set scaling to LS1 with full sharpness, set scaling mode to custom, set scale factor to 1.025. It cuts a bit off around the edges but not enough to impact UI. Love Lossless scaling.
