I agree. @darkness35 why don’t you leave again for another 3 years and then make a thread about how you’ve changed once you return again. 

Okay see ya

@darkness35 I have said in this thread I'm fucked and can't continue. I admittedly suck. 

Uhh I got lost in this thread, and would like to know specifically where and how. Also AC layout might help too.

You're a fucking tool.

Well now if the little merc has a little bark that goes woof woof in front of crowd. 

How about you bark and bend over in

U L T R A W I D E S K I L L G A P E

I can show a couple of mine, why not.

This was post VGA for Action GOTY.

PVP AC

Laser Pistols.  I've been experimenting with the Aurora Cannons, and sometimes sub the Javelin Beta for it.

Dual Harris with similar shoulder setups. I sub one of the Harris rifles for either Moonlight or Redshift

This... fucking monstrosity before I focused on PVP... We dont' talk about what the fuck I was on with this one. I apparently made friends in a VC get a headache.

I was hoping for more AI mechs to fight but it’s quite a few anyway. Also I do still want Sega to make a new Virtua On also.

 

Also check it out guys I updated my colors again 

 

 

I just love how your mech looks in this so much.

I love and yet hate your AC so much lmfao (mostly on the weapons)

I love the arena fights in this because I can really get my Virtua On on there, I hope there’s more than it looks like based on the menu. Also cuz it lets me level up more. Some important skillz to unlock in that section too.

You will get all the OS Tuning Chips in the Arena after subsequent playthroughs, on top of finding them in the missions.  They also unlock a couple of parts in the game as you go higher in the Arena during progression.

If you want PVPs, that's where the Nest comes in .

Starfield has earned a fair amount of unhinged pot shots

I only do it towards my irritation of Bethesda fans, who comically got assfucked by the hype. I'm a spiteful bitch.

Also Chrightt has made several videos on parts breakdown, and have been invaluable to help you tinker your AC. This should a playlist in their channel, and it will help optimize your builds.

I don't know why Allmind would waste it's time on him having another shot at Raven

 

Uhhh.....

I might have spoiled you the game for that one....

2nd + 3rd Playthroughs

Okay I admit I went a little unhinged there, notably the Starfield potshots.  I think G1 Michigan would have laughed

I will say, Iguazu made me change my play style a tad..momentarily. Then I re-readjusted based on his set up and found another compatible build. But that's the beauty of how the game subtly puts a solution right in front of you sometimes. Same with Elden Ring

Hey are we talking about G5 Iguazu or

You didn't find it difficult in 45 minutes so I was saying you need to play it more to get a better assessment. But be however snarky you want because you think I don't read or understand your post saying that verbatim. Good luck with wide-screen

BREAK THE FILTER AND GIT GUD.

NOW IN

Instead of losing progress normally, now you can lose it in

Now your friends and family can roast you for being bad in

U L T R A W I D E H U M I L I A T I O N

If you're getting filtered in AC6, you can now play the 2nd rate disappointment called Starfield in

Comedic.

I bought GTA 5 just to possibly join a couple of friends to RP.

I ended up returning Dance Dash.  Just wasn't satisfied with the game, especially for a VR rhythm game.

Holy fuck the amount of bullshit I just had to read in this thread.

If you are the kind of person that wants to play a boss 20 times, go back and rerun levels to earn cash, then try 3-4 different builds to beat a boss.  And spend several hours to beat a boss.  Its certainly doable.  I personally don't play games to do that.

I wouldn't have a problem with what you're trying to claim until I saw the rest of your posts, and my god the amount of stubbornness from what you're claiming is really laughable.

I'm going to just address several points here.

You don't need to grind in this game at all. Money becomes a non-factor towards Chapters 2-3, and unless you're basically wasting all of your COAM aimlessly and ineffectively wasting your ammo (I'm looking at you gatling guns), you should have zero reasons to struggle.

I'm also going to say this as well. Fromsoft will never pull random bullshit just to spite the player with an "aha gotcha" moment. Every game that they've released has had subtle but deliberate intentions on game mechanics. I really hope for starts you've noticed Sulla's Pulse guns before Balteus and the Pilebunker in Chapter 2.

I didn't have much of a problem with Juggernaut.  He took me a few goes (maybe 5?).

It took me at least that many tries to get Balteus to the second stage.

 

I don't want to come off as a dick, or a negative Nancy.  But, Balteus is a significant difficulty spike from anything before.  IMHO, the mid-level boss that happens before you fight Balteus is probably harder than anything that comes before.

 

That said, you can exit the level and respec if you think your current build won't match up against a boss.

I'll just openly come admit that the part selections in chapters 1-3 were very sparse and did not give you the tools to go with your playstyle/approach.  Patch 1.05 supposedly rectified this by adding new parts that were not available during release, notably the Lammergrier parts, shoulder mounted gatlings, handheld pulse missile launchers, heavy machine guns, and a new mounted laser cannon.

However, my friend, you literally are having difficulty fighting Balteus post-nerf, which they made significant changes so players like you would stop getting filtered for not adapting and literally seeing how Balteus fights.  If you're going to aimlessly panic and dodge, you deserve to get hit by all the missiles.  The game isn't going to handhold you at all, and yet the game at that point already gives you the tools to win fights at your current progression. 

The only caveat is that stat specialization is not clear/vague, and serves as one main barrier towards improving your AC.  One example notable I'm explaining is one of the boosters, because it says regular speed is high, but it punishes your QB speed and distance.  Fyi, this is why you should always get the full breakdown of your AC's stats, and it's one of the main appeals to WHY this game has a high appeal on optimizing your own AC.

You can play the game as a heavyweight bipedal/tetra/tank by just going all gatling guns and earshots, or you can play based on your style of preference and adapting from there.  I went from dual Plasma rifles and dual vertical missiles, to a monstrosity PVE build, to now my current lightweight builds that I'm using on PVP ranked matches.  This especially goes for flexibility towards other parts (me sticking with reverse joints to going lighter bipedal).   Point what I'm saying is that if you're not pushing yourself to experiment while shoehorning yourself into one build fits all, then you are not going to have a good time.

I think you're more skilled than you are giving your self credit for. I spent two hours on the tutorial boss fight. Stepee says it get much harder after that. I stand no chance but that doesn't mean I'm giving up on the game. 

Welcome to the filter boss, where you get a souped up Abyss Demon that teaches you how to fight and engage with the enemy, which subconsciously teaches you the game mechanics via trial by fire. If you haven't learned how to utilize the stagger system, effective range of weapons (Turner fyi is a really bad weapon), positioning, movement, EN management, and knowing when to engage/punish and push yourself, then this game is not for you.

I played it for 45 minutes -- didn't find it difficult in those 45 minutes.  Then moved on to something does support ultrawide.

LMFAO, that's your reason to not play Elden Ring?  This is a quote of all quotes for Fromsoft critique.

If you want to accuse others of their illiteracy, then just post video snippets of how you're playing the game?  You want criticisms on how to play better?  Show us exactly why you're having issues and let us help you.  Don't pull a fucking Iguazu and be petty.

Fuck, I'm a bit worried.

I bought Class of 09 and Re-up.

my god this game is fucking unhinged

I think it’s just used for the eye tracking. The Valve Index doesn’t seem to have any onboard ram.

But, yea, Sony should release a driver for PC. Sony fans claim that Sony isn’t making money on the hardware so there’s no incentive for Sony to make it PC compatible… but… like… they can release the games on PC too  

Let's be blunt here, Sony has been fucking up on so many levels that their stubbornness is going to be their downfall.

you don’t think getting an update to be PC compatible would help PSVR2 to survive? I think it could do alright, so long as software compatibility is there. On the downside it doesn’t have much onboard RAM, but it does have eye tracking and a higher per eye resolution than the Quest 3. It’s also wired bs wireless. So it’s pretty comparable. 

The Meta Quest headsets have onboard RAM due to the fact that it can be used standalone without connecting to SteamVR/PC.   If I recall, The PSVR2 requires to still have a PS5 connected in order to play compatible VR games, which also leaves it trapped in its ecosystem. At least the Quest 3 has games that are specifically developed/utilized to play on the HMD, although you run the risk of being trapped within the Meta ecosystem, unlike games (again, not sure) that are cross-compatible on Steam/SteamVR

Yes, I agree that there are some features that can be implemented and utilized only if SteamVR allows the compatibility to do so (I can't speak so far if it has).  My personal take, is that you'd only want a PSVR2 just so you can use it wirelessly via SteamVR for something like VRChat and full body compatibility. I don't know how much scuff that would result in, but the pricetag and hassle to make it compatible may not be worth the effort.

I feel like this will inevitably be a topic of discussion on John Oliver.

Unsure; this would be one topic among many of deregulation, deconstruction, and privatization of public infrastructure. Even worse when  you see how pervasive the process becomes, and how the design is very intentional.

Ravioli Ravioli don't sniff the steam deck fumes.

Meanwhile me playing Armored Core 6

WALLET, ABIDE WITH STEAM SALES.

Picked up some of the games from Humble Bundle, notably Baba Is You.

I want to bash my head on my hard wooden desk.

Oh and some of these.

May end up buying more randomly or something idk.

How many gummies and alcohol am I going to need for this shitshow?

Helluva Boss

I'm late to the party, but god damn this show

Thanks for clarifying, just haven't been in a good headspace for banter.
