Lysidas posted:

nah that was great, thanks, i did start to figure most of that out for the main fight and through a bunch of iterations of the dream one, i have mostly recalibrated myself to handle the boss but i still every once in a while dash into the boss rather than the other way around

i mostly just find it funny since everything else in the game has clicked really well, its just the mechanics of one boss (so far, hmm) that i just find completely unnatural for me in terms of combat style for some reason
at least when you die to the dream one it's fairly quick to try again and you can use fragile charms since you don't actually die. but yeah it's a hard one, i haven't beaten it yet. will probably come back around when i level up the nail a bit more or get more charm notches

i think the better strat is to use the fireball spell with a shaman charm that boosts it since it is weakish to knockback. it just has like a lot of hp

Finished Endwalker. They stuck the landing perfectly. This has dethroned all other games for me now and taken the top spot. I've never played something that's got me weepy or shaking in joy at least a dozen times.

same, just absolute love for it. batshit jrpg plot in the best way possible. everything i could've wanted out of it, 10/10. my brain is mush now tho.

excited for you to get past ARR, jonny. it's a wild ride! late ARR and post-ARR can be a little bit of a slog, but once it picks up, it really picks up.

just go down to the best buy and snag a video card

jokes aside, a ryzen 5600g would run it fine at 1080p on modest settings i bet, and a 5700g would be a bit better than that. theyre like 280 and 350 bucks or something like that, respectively.

apparently a 5700G will run FFXIV on high settings at 60fps or higher in most places and 40fps in cities. a 5600G has 7 compute units instead of the 5700G's 8 so you'll probably still get 60fps in outdoor zones and 30+ in cities with hundreds of people doing effects and poo poo in front of the market board

very dangerous "apparently" if this is some enthusiast youtube or something like that, listening to them everything runs on everything, but in reality it takes a metric ton of unreliable tweaking, and comes apart every time the wind changes.

Endwalker is good so far except that i really don't like those awful duties where insead of playing the interesting character class you've played for 80 levels you control some other character where you have three lovely abilities to spam

Same energy as when you wanted to play some omicron: nomad soul and the game decided "actually today you're playing a lovely fps sequence with a Dreamcast controller instead of the action adventure game you hoped to be playing"

does the game get better about it after a while? because in the beginning quarter of the game it’s most definitely not wrong

they aren’t bad. they’re actually available, which makes a big difference, turns out.

they are a little behind their desktop counterparts, but not terribly, usually.

I have a laptop with a 1050ti in it and it runs cyberpunk pretty good at medium settings, so the 20xx and 30xx laptops have to be much better than that

the nice thing about getting a ~gaming laptop~ is they usually come with nice, high refresh rate screens, so if you don’t have one already, that’s a plus.

after a bit you get lots of deliveries and can just take your time, only triggering cutscenes when you want. this is how I played the game mostly and now I’m in postgame just doing whatever looks fun and doing things intentionally the hard way cause I just love getting myself stuck at the top of a mountain and having to go back down the other side with minimal gear and a huge load

only a few more of them memory chips and I have the plat trophy but I just gotta make one more delivery first

yes and no.

there are still a lot of cutscenes, but there is more gameplay to leaven it.

i still watched every single minute of kojima's babbling, it was somehow still riveting even if it was objectively nonsense
