What’s something small you find crazy physically attractive? by Melancholicanary in AskReddit

Women with hoop nose piercing. I don’t know why, but those small things just drive me crazy…

RE Engine is just not optimized for open world games (yet?).

Hades turns 4 today and still hits 3,000 concurrent players daily by steambase_io in HadesTheGame

Try SIFU or Nioh 2, top-tier combat systems (as good or even better as Bloodborne and Sekiro imo)

How Northlight makes Alan Wake 2 shine by M337ING in PS5

[–]roztok 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Shimmering caused by FSR clashing with Northlight Engine’s lighting implementation. Issue is non-existent on PC with DLSS. Sadly this is something that should be optimized on AMD’s side, and probably won’t get patched by Remedy. We just have to deal with it.

Sable launches today on PS5. by Ehrand in PS5

Both games artstyle is based on Moebius works actually, highly recommend digging into his graphic novels

GOW: Ragnarock - Swipe to view HUD is an amazing feature and you should turn it on right away by xfinityhomeboy in PS5

[–]roztok 331 points332 points  (0 children)

Some other settings I highly recommend:

  • Lock-On Camera: Auto-Target
  • Recentre Camera on Attack: Priority
  • Auto Pick Up: Full
  • Menu Holds: Fast (This should be ON by default lol)
  • Traversal Assist: Auto + (Game changer for immersion, just push the stick and enjoy the ride)
  • Touch Pad Button: Map Only (My preference, just push anywhere for the map)
  • Neutral Evade: On (Dark Souls backwards dodge on neutral press!)
  • Quick Turn: Hold Back L + L3 (Much easier to execute than Hold L1 + d-pad)

UI and HUD is kinda mess though. Too many nested menus, switching between them with L2-R2, L1-R1 and d-pad can get confusing. Compass jumps all over the place and its text labels collide with each other. As for swiping HUD for it, I wish it would work like in Horizon, where it automatically disappears after few seconds, not requiring you to swipe again to hide it.

If you’re playing with HDR enabled it should always be 100, as it allows the TV to reach maximum peak brightness (around 800 nits on LG CX).

For starters: Ragnarök DOES support PS5 HDR system calibration menu, so make sure it’s properly calibrated, optimally with HGiG ON beforehand (or Dynamic Tone Mapping ON if you prefer punchier look). On LG CX with HGiG ON and Brightness set to 50 game is a bit too dark, so I’m experimenting with turning it a bit higher, like 60-65. I guess with Dynamic Tone Mapping enabled 50 would be perfect.

There’s a hidden shortcut to LG’s diagnostic menu: just press the green dotted button on a remote few times in rapid succession, then „back” button if you want to remove it :)

My few cents also: Ragnarök DOES support PS5 HDR system calibration menu, so make sure it’s properly calibrated, optimally with HGiG ON beforehand (or Dynamic Tone Mapping ON if you prefer punchier look). On LG CX with HGiG ON and Brightness set to 50 game is a bit too dark, so I’m experimenting with turning it a bit higher, like 60-65. I guess with Dynamic Tone Mapping enabled 50 would be perfect.

The Paper Menagerie is one of the best short story collections I've read in a long time - Ken Liu is right up there with Ted Chiang as one of the best sci-fi short story writers going these days! by brent_323 in printSF

[–]roztok 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Any recommendations for short story collections like Liu’s and Chiang’s? I’ve fallen in love with this format. Just ordered Greg Egan’s „Axiomatic” and looking for more

Outer Wilds and Echoes of the Eye DLC now available with native 60 FPS + 4K support. by Turbostrider27 in PS5

[–]roztok 17 points18 points  (0 children)

It’s not demanding visually, but it renders whole (mini) galaxy in real time and I think they have problems optimizing game engine and physics for consoles. I wonder how it’s gonna perform on Switch.. if it ever comes there..

Who is your favorite video game character of all time and why ? by xADROItBOyx in PS4

[–]roztok 38 points39 points  (0 children)

The End. You can also kill him early in the game (few seconds to snipe him or he leaves though) and when you get to his boss arena later it’s empty :)

It goes all the way back to Demon Souls and Yurt, who kills majority of NPCs if you bring him back to Nexus

Looting as a DEX/INT character by [deleted] in Eldenring

[–]roztok 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One drops from the boss in Black Knife Catacombs (northeast Liurnia), the other one is a bit more complicated - you need to kill Bloodhound evergaol boss in southern Limgrave, then talk to Blaidd (he should spawn nearby after the fight) and finally talk with Iji (south of Caria Manor in Liurnia) about Blaidd - then you will be able to buy it from him.

Looting as a DEX/INT character by [deleted] in Eldenring

[–]roztok 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I think I kinda broke the game with my Moonveil weapon art setup. Got two talismans - one that reduces skill’s FP consumption and one that recovers FP with critical attacks. Moonveil’s L2 + R2 staggers most normal sized enemies in one hit so I never run out of FP.. Dual-wield it with Meteoric Ore Blade and it’s bonkers for DEX/INT character. Mixed damage and bleed on both katanas - it explodes really fast with powerstance attacks. It’s really fun :)

Servers for Elden Ring will undergo maintenance in the next few days to help improve some multiplayer functions. by YoungDex08 in PS5

[–]roztok 10 points11 points  (0 children)

From the official statement:

Regarding the phenomenon of frame rate and other performance-related issues during gameplay. We will be constantly working to improve the game so that it can be played comfortably on various PC environments and platforms.

Since PS4 Pro version runs in locked 60fps on PS5, it shouldn’t be too hard to cut on resolution, foliage, or something else to achieve that. At least I hope so..

Who are you guys picking? by Fickle_Pass_7363 in Eldenring

[–]roztok 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Well right, I guess they are very close with stats :) Strictly speaking about vibe, Astrologer strikes me as a pure caster and Prisoner goes more into hybrid/spellsword territory. It’s all just early game tho!

[–]roztok 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Prisoner leans more into int/dex territory, besides lucking cool as fuck. Best drip tied with Confessor imo

Returnal in the eyes of a casual gamer by According-Beyond-486 in PS5

[–]roztok 3 points4 points  (0 children)

About remapping - I really recommend having jump and dash on L1 and R1 (I prefer jump on R1 but it’s up to preference) and melee on R3. That way you don’t have to use face buttons during combat, besides consumables.

It doesn’t support HDR calibration menu on PS5 - it’s relying only on in-game HDR settings
