I’m not sure but I think one of my pawns is ridiculously OP for the level he’s at… he’s just destroying everything. Feels like a glitch. Edit: ooop yep not sure it’s a glitch but he’s absurdly OP haha. Need to dismiss his ass. My strength total is 217 as a level 18 fighter. He’s a level 18 thief and it’s 14,000 hahaha. Jesus.

I see where they're coming from generally, but I find the discourse around this game to be a little strange. Every positive review seems hesitant to just say it's good without a million caveats that it's not for everyone, or it's better than the sum of its parts, or something like that. Whereas like, a more traditional game people are comfortable saying typical hyperbolic shit that they'll just say without batting an eye "one of the best RPGs ever / of the decade" or whatever. Have courage, reviewers. Good lord. Or at least be consistent.

Does anyone else's PC version crash every time you close it down?

You're not wrong to post it and the articles aren't wrong in and of themselves, but the meandering nature of every fucking article nowadays as well as the internet just stealing all the shit that everyone posts, it gets confusing about WTF is actually being talked about. In this case, the way that PC gamer article is written as well as some others I've seen, it DOES kind of sound like it's the game somehow "losing" data or whatever, rather than make clear a lot earlier on that it is an option perhaps too easily accessed on the main screen and to just use caution about that and know what it does. I assume the load from inn option is there to allow you to just reset to a safe place if you happened to wander off to a really tough area that you're having trouble getting out of / getting in some loop of dying and super frustrated. Part of the problem is writers of these articles are like "HYPERBOLIC STATMENT FOR HEADLINE" ----- Lede: Webster's dictionary defines a game save as so and so. Dragon's Dogma is a popular new entry and it has many options. If we can keep you on this page just little longer, we'll get some more ad revenue and you'll eventually get the tiny bit of information that you clicked on the misleading headline for." It drives me up a fucking wall.

There’s not, it’s just a common viral story for people who apparently don’t intuitively understand why you’d use that option.

The first inn in melve or whatever the guy says many times he is not very busy so he is both the vocation guy and the inn guy.

Discussed earlier. The designers of the game legitimately feel fast travel is not needed. This I’m sure was not their decision.

Thank god

Do you guys know what happens to the stuff your pawns are carrying if they… per chance … fall in a lake or something. Just wondering…

Oh don't get me wrong, I am not trying to defend Capcom. I just think the people who are claiming this is "pay 2 win" or whatever are missing the point of the game. Like if Nintendo sold .99 cent skips from Mario 1-1 to Mario 8-4 and people wanna buy them, OK go for it, but maybe reevaluate what you actually enjoy about playing video games at that point.

I know I’m just messing with you. You’re like the game is bad all this cool shit keeps happening all the time (I know you don’t think the game is bad)

If you were trying to make the game sound flawed you failed pretty hard there.

The overwhelming general consensus around OG RE4's release was that it was a masterpiece, and that the controls were awesome. While I agree that the original games, probably up to and including 4, were more fun to speed run than their modern iterations, I still think they're fun to speed run and I think that when you're trying to get a better "score" by playing the game again, you're naturally gonna play through it faster anyway. The first play through, especially if it's your only play through, should not be concerned about score at all. Hell, your second and third play throughs shouldn't either if that's not your thing. But the score is just there to meet it on its own terms. RE has always had interesting challenges to it to be had if you want, even before trophies and stuff. People were doing knife only runs prior to the trophy for it, or no deaths. Had I infinite time, I'd like to pick one of the games - probably REmake - and get really good at beating it.

I can understand the frustration with those microtransactions but I don’t necessarily trust most people making a stink about them online. Maybe I’ll feel differently later on, but I trust the designers of the game when they say we purposely left fast travel extremely limited and stuff like that. I don’t think it’s their decision to then offer this BS to purchase, and again until I run in to a situation where I feel actually swindled I am going to assume most of that is manufactured anger looking to get attention. The reviews we’ve read played the entire game without knowledge of this stuff and they loved the game as is.

Played about 90 mins. It def has that time just slips away effect to it. It's frankly running just fine on my PC. Dips into the 40s at times but usually closer to 60. I should probably turn off RT and see how it does. Can't wait to play more, but should sleep.

I have cooled on people not using blinkers in situations where (THEY STILL FUCKING SHOULD HAVE) it doesn't REALLY affect other people, but when like, you're turning left at an intersection and someone is also turning left but they choose not to signal, so you're sitting there like...ok go... and then you finally figure it out. That one gets me pretty heated each time. Or like slowing way way way down and THEN getting into the turn lane. Stuff like that. Lot of driving ones, really.

On steam that is my understanding.

Bout 7 pm for this cat.

I think the Steam version unlocks early evening.

The game will fail based on its terrible name alone.

I was thinking the same thing. This is a shoddy imitation on all fronts.

I will say although they use a bunch of tired tropes for the main story, their approach to new game plus was somewhat interesting to me. Starfield was just so incredibly safe. It’s probably a miracle it ran as well as it did. But man was it just a play it and move on type of experience.

I have a Ryzen 7800X3D. So that's probably the way to go.

I have a damn good CPU but last gen GPU (RX 6800). I may roll the dice on the PC version since it seems to be so CPU heavy, but I'll keep my eye out for DF's assessment. If the PS5 version runs super well or something could change my mind.

PC or PS5 is my only question.
