Why did you have to let us know she is gay?

Everyone who will be there is atheistic or agnostic except for maybe one person if they show up.

Game is fine without a lock on. Not every game needs to play like every other game. Do the Monster Hunter games have lock on? I don't remember. 

It has a shitty one that is shit that no one uses

So what's the benefit of changing classes? Other than dodging in combat. 

It's fun

u fast

you are the weak point master attacker

it's the "climb the monster" vocation which means it's the best vocation cuz climbing the monster is the best part

it has TWO special moves, the only melee vocation to have TWO special moves

You only need to be an archer for the first part and not the second part right?

yep

I wish you could just change your vocation on the fly. I know it kinda goes against their philosophy or whatever, but it's annoying. Cuz like right now, Archer and Thief are using all of the same gear but the weapon. It's weak sauce that I have to go to a town just to swap out a weapon basically. Like, at least let me swap at camp. I can already change moves at camp. If anything, I'd rather the limitation be you can swap vocations at camp, but not your active skills.

I do wish you could send items to storage from anywhere or at least camps. Or just remove weight for non-weapons and armor. Dark Souls does it right with equipped load. They could just make armor heavier and still have you required to find golden beetles to keep your load light as your armor gets stronger.

Archer by itself just doesn't seem that fun.

It's not, I'm only leveling it for the weak point augment. Tho, it got better when I realized that you are better off never using square/x. It does NO damage. Still not very fun. I feel like my pawns do all the work when I play Archer.

Has anyone had monsters randomly spawn in Venworth? It’s happened to me twice, once with some saurians, then an ogre…

Yep. I've had goblins twice, and an ogre once.

For me, it was just common sense to assume the storage box items would be usable without removing them. Or rather, it made sense to see if that was how it worked before assuming it didn't.

While I miss ray tracing, wow does it make a huge fps difference with it being off. Or at least it feels like a huge difference at times.

There is a pawn perk that automatically distributes all your items evenly among you and your 3 pawns. You could hire a pawn that does that and takes the stress out of your life.

That's not a good one for me because the point is for me to always be light. Mage Pawns are the mules since they have to stay still anyway.

Never played it. ND games suck.

What game looks like a PS5 game?

Demon's Souls remake. I think it is still prolly the best look game on the PS5.

Fuckin' most games still don't look better than RDR2.

I think the game looks like a PS4 game. I am impressed with the amount of foliage tho. There is a fucking lot. Like, I've seen less green in real-life forests.

You know, I was just outright wrong about the motion blur. I had been playing with variable and motion blur off and it looked fine. But when I set it to max 30, it did indeed seem like the animations were a bit choppy until I turned blur back on.  I was just wrong in the case of DD2 🤷‍♂️

SHOW MAELSTROM FPS WITH THE MOD

I'm just talking about the day. Could have been a different game then.

Second can I walk more than 20 steps without having to fight a pack of goddamn monsters please? 

No.

Not sure why they changed it, but IIRC the roads in DD1 were "safe". Now it's like the main hangout is the road.

I mean, I love that patch for the motion blur removal, but it's a pretty insubstantial patch. The gameplay hasn't changed.

So, is the ray tracing "good" in DD2? Is ray tracing a thing that is different between games? To my eye, DD2 looks better with ray tracing.

It's not that motion blur at 30 FPS is "good," it's that it's "necessary," or else the game appears juddery and shitty and there's no sense of movement over time, just weird interstitial frames (or... lack of interstitial frames, I guess?) that can become very difficult to follow during fast action. Rebirth without motion blur looked absolutely abysmal at 30 FPS.

 

But it's a little more complicated than "motion blur on or off," a "good" motion blur at 30 is something you're not even likely to notice, because it's very minor. It's something you only notice when it's missing. Not to be confused with exaggerated motion blur that is usually a toggle. The kind that makes you feel sick or like you can't see anything. Every movie you've ever watched has had motion blur in every single scene and no one complains because it's not a bad thing on its own.

Of course, it's even more complicated than that, since this still relies on consistent frames to give the perception of fluid motion, so with randomly fluctuating frame rates plus wild frame times, it ain't gonna be a huge help. It's when you've got a "smooth" and consistent 30 FPS that it can really serve its role of making up for dev's mistakes of making a 30 FPS game.

I mean, real life has motion blur lol. Just wave your back and forth in front of your face. Maybe there are good applications of it in gaming, but I haven't noticed them since that's not prolly something you notice when it's done right as you mentioned. Personally, I have yet to play a game that looks or performs worse with it off when given the choice.
