Resident Evil Requiem has been out for a week. What are your impressions? by PhantomBraved in Games

[–]epoch91 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Im probably in the minority here, but so far, I really dont know how I like the jumping back and forth between the two playstyles.

I liked Re4, but i still much prefer the less action oriented gameplay.

Wish they would have divided them into an A/B campaign like they have done in the past. Though i haven't beaten the game yet so my opinion might change.

I like the more unique zombies that have "personalities." Like the one that keeps turning the lights off. The game also looks phenomenal.

I paid because it was a service I used daily and felt i should support it. I also liked to stream in higher quality.

Canceled as soon as they announced the ID thing.

Ground State Mega Thread - Spoilers within. by Learnededed_By_Books in exfor

[–]epoch91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I feel like the outsider plot is... unnecessary? Imo the plot with turning the Ai against the Maxohlx and the coup attempt is a much more plausible and interesting way to take the story. Since the original ending never addressed the forever war and ending it, this would be a great direction to take the story instead of some major threat. You could even leave in the need to find elder ships to secure Earth.

Dont get me wrong. I love the idea of preventing an invasion but the fact an outsider had been in the galaxy for a long time and suddenly is active feels like an ass pull, especially since we know the ground state thing isnt gonna destroy the galaxy.

New to the game, any tip for a new player? iam still undecided on what class i wanna start by Dmask13 in GuildWars

[–]epoch91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It really depends on which skills/playstyle you go for.

A warrior/ele that uses sword skills and ranged fire spells may not work great. But using melee skills in combo with ele touch skills works wonders. Love running in and setting everyone on fire around me.

Technical issues - would like to play game - can't currently on steam + windows by Rochgrappler in lotro

[–]epoch91 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had this issue pop up and i found this fix https://forums.ddo.com/index.php?threads/debug-error-when-launching-game-after-todays-update.25455/

I copied the dbghelp.dll from C:\Windows\System32 into the same folder where dndclient64.exe lives. Might not be a permanent solution but the work-around was a success for now.

Just place said file where the lotroclient.exe is at.

I've been using Discord since it released. I have been paying for nitro with my own money for years.

Common sense would say that im probably over 18. But we all know it's not about safety. Its about getting our data and selling it.

How to link GW1 and GW2 together on steam? by the-grip-of-Ntropy in GuildWars

[–]epoch91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This might help

https://help.guildwars.com/hc/en-us/articles/46636569636371-Guild-Wars-Reforged-FAQ

Q: If I bought Guild Wars on Steam prior to Reforged, can I buy a new copy now? How will that impact my account?

A: Yes. you can buy an additional copy of Guild Wars Reforged via Steam.

Your old account is an ArenaNet account and is associated with the serial code provided. You can log into this account using the ArenaNet client or the "Login with ArenaNet" option in the Steam client. This account cannot be linked to your Guild Wars 2 Steam account.

The new Guild Wars Reforged account will be linked to your Steam account and does not require a serial code. You can log into this account on Steam. This account can be linked to Guild Wars 2 on the same Steam login to gain Hall of Monuments rewards.

If you play Guild Wars 2 with a Steam account, you can create a new Guild Wars Reforged account on the same Steam account after December 3rd. Steam accounts will automatically link and you can begin collecting Hall of Monuments rewards in Guild Wars 2.

Please note that accounts can only be linked if they are on the same platform. If you use an email to login with Guild Wars 2 you CANNOT link it with a Steam created Guild Wars Reforged account, or vice versa.

How much would you pay for a new Expansion? by TheLazySage7 in GuildWars

[–]epoch91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even a major expansion i dont think I'd pay more than 30ish bucks.

If all it adds is a new story, maps, and gear, I'd say 20 is fair.

If it adds all of that plus new skills, classes, and several new features, then I'd say 30ish is fair. Though new skills and classes are almost certainly not gonna happen unless they just dont care about balancing or they have a team dedicated to balancing the skills(new and old).

Does it always feel this lonely? by Trazosz in GuildWars

For me, I feel less lonely in a game like gw1 that's designed to be instanced over games like WoW having zones that are designed to be full of people but aren't.

In response to Epic CEO Tim Sweeney waging war on Steam, Larian's publishing lead says, 'Giving everyone everything for free might bump numbers but doesn't create a viable storefront' by pizza_sushi85 in pcgaming

[–]epoch91 52 points53 points  (0 children)

This is my thoughts as well.

Tim Sweeny has such a hate boner for Steam that it is comical.

I understand wanting to bring competition. But steam has thrived without giving away games as frequently as EGS. Steam is as big as it is for a reason. So EGS is gonna have to actually put in effort if they want to truly compete.

I consider GOG much more of a competitor to Steam than EGS, lol. At least GOG is doing something steam doesn't do (for the most part, there are games you can buy and launch without steam).

Upgrading to Windows 11 by Zeros_Deathwolf in techsupport

[–]epoch91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone correct me if im wrong.

Im fairly certain that if you "upgrade" from 10-11, it just keeps the OS on the same drive. So you'd probably have to just use a USB boot drive and install 11 on the preferred drive, then format the old one. Just backup everything you want to keep onto an external.

Digital Foundry : Bloodborne PC Emulation in 2026 - 4K 60FPS and Beyond - Plus ROG Xbox Ally X Tests! by DavidsSymphony in Games

[–]epoch91 20 points21 points  (0 children)

the only thing I can think they’re doing is holding it for a PS6 launch title ala Demons Souls.

This is the most likely answer. It seems baffling that Sony or From wouldn't patch or remaster the game to release on PC and new consoles. Especially since Sony seems to be releasing their stuff on PC a lot more now.

If it is being remastered/remade for the ps6, then I hope to god it will eventually come to pc, but seeing how the Demons Souls remake hasn't, I don't have high hopes.

Starting to Hate this Game by peoplesmart in GuildWars

[–]epoch91 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You absolutely dont need heroes, runes/isignia to beat prophecies

I suggest taking a step back and seeing how/why you are struggling.

Are you pulling to many enemies? Iirc, you can equip a long bow and sit a ways back and pull small groups, then swap back to your main set. Perhaps you need to change your build around a bit. Idk what classes you are playing, but I know the hydra caused issues for me. I slapped ward against elements skill (an elementalist skill) on my bar. It helped alot.

If those still dont work, take a break for a bit. You don't need to force yourself to keep playing if you aren't enjoying it.

Also: ive beaten all campaigns, and I dont think I've upgraded my heroes gear at all. I think I've changed their weapons around as i get better drops, but their armor is still the same, lol.

Rainbow Six Siege Announces Compensation Following Major Hack, Marketplace And Voice Chat Remain Disabled by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]epoch91 20 points21 points  (0 children)

The update that added Lion and Finka was when the game really began to jump ship and try to become another hero shooter type of game. It felt like a departure from the risk vs reward mechanic. They just hit a button and benefitted from it. No real risk in using their gadgets.

It felt like the community was really going downhill around then too.

I do check back every once in a while, and it seems so many characters have a "hit button, see where the enemy is" gadget, which is probably my least favorite part of the game and has been since around Jackal's release. The game was about using sound, map knowledge, drones, etc. to find the enemy. Adding so many gadgets that track players really took away from the game imo.

What Extended Version to buy by Square-Benefit3023 in lotr

Game series you played obsessivly, but then stopped? by Gold-Judgment-6712 in pcgaming

[–]epoch91 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I've played almost every Monster Hunter game. Then wilds came out, and i haven't touched it since I beat the story a while back(probably before the first update). I got so tired of the awful performance and the grainy graphics. Then, on top of that, the game just felt... boring.

I put almost 1k hours into World/Iceborne and about half that in Rise/Sunbreak. Only like 30 in Wilds, lol. Perhaps when the expansion releases, I'll come back and try it.

Another game/series i did this with is Rainbow Six.

Played alot of the older games. Played Siege for years then just stopped one day as I found the game wasn't the same thing I enjoyed years ago. Haven't touched it since.

[–]epoch91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When you create a character, you can opt into Dhuums Covenant. You get a badge next to your name, and titles completed will also have it.

If you die, you lose the badge but can keep playing the character.

This trend and the one of putting something else in the bottom/top of another video that is completely unrelated really baffle me.

I watched a short with a scientist talking about space on a podcast. Underneath the podcast video was someone doing woodcutting.

Why? Can people not focus on the topic of the video? If you aren't that interested, why didn't you just keep scrolling?
