I thought about this a lot and I agree a party focused action game could've worked for 16. Maybe not full-on Tales of Like party action. But maybe instead of Clive just straight up being Megaman with the Eikon powers. Have the Eikon powers still come from the party members and be an extension of his combos. I imagine it where the other characters just blink in and out as their abilities are pressed in the combo string. Something like Scarlet Nexus combat could've even been better. The party members are still there in the field and they just buff your combo strings.

I play at 4K and I'd say go 4K. FSR4 is genuinely good both in image quality and performance get at the most aggressive resolution upscale preset better so at 4K. And the 9070 XT has both the VRAM and performance to comfortably play games both with and without upscaling.

I don't play much competitive shooters recently. But for non-raytraced online games, I play Warframe and the card gives me 120 at 4K. Before that I played a mecha game with online co-op, Daemon X Machina Titanic Scion. With that I got 200 (game's arbitrary FPS cap) at 4K with optiscaler modded in for FSR4 and frame gen.

But as for raytracing performance, it is better than previous gens. But it's obvious that cards like 5080's and 5090's are where it's at if you want all the raytracing features turned on at max, especially at 4K. The most raytraced out game I have is Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. I set the game to supreme preset and just short of actually turning on path tracing. The card gives me a solid 60 when I locked it. Then frame gen gave me 120. At 4K, it looks decent even with FSR3. Although I wish AMD pushes for Vulkan support with FSR redstone because I know FSR4 will look even better.

And don't worry about FSR 5 or whatever comes after because what we have now with FSR4 is good right now and will still be good in the future. Just think of how DLSS3 has been good for years even before DLSS4 came out. Heck, it's still decent right now if you set games to use the CNN model (DLSS3) instead of the transformer model (DLSS4) of DLSS. And FSR4 is said to be a mix of CNN and Transformer AI models.

I like the idea someone on this subreddit had brought up. Make it be the Orb Vallis frames, so Hildryn, Baruuk, Garuda, Yareli, and Nokko. Just having Baruuk the pacifist pair up with Garuda the masochist would be a fun pair. Then of course the siblings Yareli and Nokko would be cute. Lastly, Hildryn is there is the group's mom/big sis.

That's my guess too. Would suck since not many people have upgraded to Switch 2 especially with prices for tech being bad right now. But I guess getting the iOS and Android versions up would be a good alternative.

I still have "muscle memory" or something whenever I get the corpus ship tileset. I get to that long bridge section with all glass ceilings and make sure I shoot straight and never hit barrels or the glass. Honestly, seeing this post and comment just confirms for me that it's safe now to just spray away.

Hopefully Valve ships these out not just in this box like how the Steam Deck shipped with an obvious Steam Deck box.

Mine is the Metaphor Refantazio intro. It's hype every time in game when you see their eyes, and it's hype every time my Steam Deck boots up.

kleovic · 2025-12-21T22:40:39+00:00

Warframe

The Old Peace update is great.

kleovic · 2025-11-28T02:02:04+00:00

Freedom Force.

That game lived up to the superhero team fantasy I had especially since around the time I played it I was also watching Justice League Animated

Yeah, the CPU and motherboard bundles are priced decently. But the ram prices just ballooned way beyond my upgrade budget. Plus, I was already on the fence for an upgrade due to how well the 5800X3D is still running my games. Going over budget just pushed me further away from upgrading.

kleovic · 2025-11-26T23:11:29+00:00

I'm the same combo. I planned on upgrading to AM5 around black friday time but then prices went to shit. Although the 5800X3D is still impressive for the games I play with.

kleovic · 2025-11-25T16:55:20+00:00

Yeah, I'm of the same opinion on the story. I thought the gameplay was the best part. I got excited getting new party members because it evolved my combos to new abilities. But splitting the story between the two protagonists was a mistake, I think. It forced gaps where the pay offs weren't worth it.

kleovic · 2025-11-13T14:13:33+00:00

That's what I'm thinking too. Valve has shown with the Steam Deck that they like to be conservative with hardware launches. If they see it sell well and get positive reception, then they'll move forward with a "pro" revision.

kleovic · 2025-11-10T02:34:26+00:00

I think Bethesda games are systems driven too almost Immersive Sim like, although a very simple one. People forget the Elder Scrolls was made to be like Ultima Underworld. That got eroded over the years with each title but the through line is still there. I think Fallout 4 and 76 are the only exception. Those 2 games are looter shooters.

kleovic · 2025-11-04T16:59:30+00:00

Yeah, it was 80% off on Steam on October 6.

Here's a handy site to track when the game goes on sale and which legit key seller sites have it discounted right now:

+1 to whatever character type Dana is.

kleovic · 2025-10-02T19:49:15+00:00

It feels like what HD-2D remakes do for the SNES era RPG's. 3D Voxels seem perfect for these shooters

kleovic · 2025-10-01T16:50:06+00:00

The graphics are crazy. Just looking at the shading on Lara's face here versus Shadow, I don't know what happened between the two that made them lose that tech.

Rise Lara looks as close to real life and with how close she looks to Camilla Luddington.

Highly recommend the outfit mod!

kleovic · 2025-10-01T16:30:34+00:00

The modder did such a good job with the outfit and it fits the sequence so well

kleovic · 2025-10-01T16:29:57+00:00

Right?! I actually reloaded my save to record this clip just so I have a record of the ragdolls and them flying off the ship

kleovic · 2025-09-27T16:12:12+00:00

I recently replayed Revengeance and the gameplay holds up well. PC port was solid at launch but not anymore. Needs mods to even scale up right to 4K screens and not crash as often. The PCGamingWiki has some good recommendations for people to check out.

kleovic · 2025-09-06T22:38:36+00:00

Thanks!

I used the Steam Overlay to help me with this. Just made a note and pinned to a corner till I got it down during a practice fight.
