Carentan, Stalingrad, and such city map is just going to be 20, 25fps all the way. Something like St-mare du mont or Hurtgen Forest I'll have maybe 40-60fps on my 1060.

I'm ~5 hours into Axiom Verge 2 and it's excellent. Quite a different game to the first, it's certainly more open - not to Hollow Knight/La-Mulana levels, but still on the more open end of things as far as Metroidvanias go. The parallel world mechanic is also really well done, and the abilities you gain are pretty interesting & fun too. The opening is a little rough though - you're very underpowered to begin with & your early combat options are particularly clunky, so you're encouraged to hide & run from enemies, with there being some rudimentary stealth mechanics. It doesn't take too long before this significantly improves as you get more upgrades, but I wish the stealth mechanics were maybe a little more fleshed out there to compensate. The early game combat options being less clunky would also help - a lot of the early enemies are short, meaning you initially have to crouch to hit them with any of your attacks, and letting you hit directly in front of you on the ground while standing from the very start would have felt so much better.

Where are my steam screenshots? In steam, I see a folder with just the few I've uploaded to share. Google tells me to go to program files > steam > userdata > a subfolder I don't have

In the steam library, right click one of your screenshots then choose "Manage Screenshots" Then in the window that pops up click Show on Disk

Hm, I don't see what you're looking at in my steam. Under the game in the library it says no screenshots. When I press the select button on my controller it makes a noise and says screenshot saved, and shows it picture-in-picture, but when I click on that it doesn't go anywhere. There are no screenshots in windows' screenshot folder so they're not going there. Screenshotting with the controller has worked in the past

Are you still in the game? The screenshots don't show in the post-game summary until after the game closes, but I'm not used to using a controller or big picture mode so I don't know how those would change it

Speaking of screenshots, I have a question about some odd behavior with my Steam screenshots. I have Steam set to both save a lossless screenshot and to save it to a specific directory when I take one, but that only seems to work for some of my games, and sometimes it even seems erratic on those. In others it saves a jpeg to a per-game screenshot folder in the steamapps directory, instead of a png to the shared screenshot directory I direct it to. This doesn't seem to be specific games ignoring the option I set, because it happens with different games on my desktop than on my laptop.

Right, I tried to reinstall it, but art of rally (sic) is genuinely just not even a game on gamepass. It's got good reviews on steam, but a user rating of 30% (F76 has 50%) on GP. We've got:
The only way this makes any sense to me is if they accidentally released an alpha to GP. This is part frustrating, part funny and part kinda sad, because I do think they devs were going for a very particular chill vibe and this is just anti-chill.

Gamepass has some weird quirks. With Prodeus the controller works fine in the menu but not in the game itself, so you can't use a controller at all. They still haven't fixed it.

Weapon damage type makes a big difference. That updated bitwhatever shotgun does good work. Also, there is a power that converts the damage type to all digital which is very powerful.

I literally can't outrun /survive the initial salvo it throws at me though lol. Pumping Evasion instead of Health was a mistake. And this is my problem with video games as I get older - I don't want to spend 15 minutes hoofing it back to town to buy a different Tactical Item, then another 20 running back to this boss. And I've dumped all of my Weapon Upgrade Points upping my SMG.

That's awkward, definitely forgot the Taxi is the thing. The nearest train station is quite a distance away. I suppose I'm exaggerating 15 minutes, but with combat in between it just feels really far. Just frustrated after getting obliterated by this guy 4 times and being sent back 3 encounters away.

It's got good reviews on steam, but a user rating of 30% (F76 has 50%) on GP. Gamepass is definitely super buggy at times. Generally if I reset my computer multiple times, do whatever updates are possible to the applications and OS, eventually it starts working properly. Super frustrating though. Art of Rally is one game I haven't had any issues with so far surprisingly enough.

I was never so quickly let down by a game the first time I played it as I was with art of rally. I just hated how it controlled and felt to play and alt+f4'd and uninstalled it immediately lol. The game looks great and I like the idea of it but I don't think the top down stuff makes it super fun to play. Glad I never ended up buying it so I could try it on Gamepass.

There's one with a similar name that is physical damage, but get the one that is energy damage and upgrade it it's pretty good against metal enemies. Also focus on your augments, spider bots are great for getting a momentary break. I also like the augment that gives you health for doing damage against enemies that were marked by the augment. Sab669 posted:I literally can't outrun /survive the initial salvo it throws at me though lol. Pumping Evasion instead of Health was a mistake. Yeah in that case definitely just respec. I have most of my points into health and the weapon handling and crit categories. The other Frame skill that keeps you from being knocked down or whatever is absolutely poo poo as well, ignore it.

Sailor Dave posted:Battlefield V is actually """free""" on Amazon Prime Gaming right now, I think someone mentioned they just did the Amazon Prime trial and claimed the key, it doesn't go away when the trial ends. It's probably still a lot cheaper even without the trial with the cost of Prime, though. Right after going through the Battlefield 1 single player, Battlefield 5 felt... pretty bad. Didn't really give it much time, but the storyline, "gunfeel" and mechanics all combined to be annoying.

It feels a little less linear than similar metroidvania games, and opposed to it being like "This ability is the key, and this obstacle is the door" there are combinations of abilities that can be used in different ways to bypass stuff. Plays up the "sequence breaking" aspect of these sort of games

OK yea after respeccing into Health, I found an EMP Grenade, and bought and upgraded an Electric Pistol I was able to face tank him easily while bursting him down very fast. Then I unlocked that mod that converts all damage to Electric 🙃 Too bad I can't afford to spec back to how I wanted to play. Oh well. Due to a complete lack of a Skill Tree or anything like that I don't actually feel like my stats matter in a "thematic sense". HP or Evasion, I still run and gun at the same exact rate.

Evasion gets a little better once you get the upgraded dash roll module so it turns into a standing up quickdash, that thing owns

Dig the music, the art, the writing (typos aside), though the combat's still kinda difficult (especially right now - I just got fast travel, so uh, spoilers - but anyway)
