I’ve had such mixed results with that. On one hand it works but it’s rarely a smooth experience. Too many 2d elements blended into 3d and suddenly I’m standing half way through a menu with no way to select anything and a cutscene is running 6 miles away clipped through 17 levels of assets.
Well it’s Unreal, so expect shader compilations and micro stutters, as well as a host of graphic options that may or may not make a visual difference, but will randomly tank your fps for no reason.
Shit. Pick a character from Chrono Trigger. Citan from XenoGears. Teepo from Breath of Fire 3. I mean, I could go on and on… There are so many classic companions in games. I can’t pick one, and I’m not sure I trust anyone who can, especially when there is bioware money being thrown around.
I went so hard on this game when early access first released that I had to uninstall it and force myself to wait until the full release so I don’t burn myself out. It’s so much goddamned fun, though.
I was dating a girl that sold me on 1.0, and I was going to play it with her. We broke up, and 1.0 released, and I just said fuck it. It wasn’t until Heavensward that I came back. It kills me that in that time I lost my original key, so I don’t even have my swanky 1.0 survivor rewards.
I’m so glad I came back, though. It’s been my only MMO since then, and it just gets better with every new release.
Yeah. I grabbed all of them now and I’m at the grace before the final boss. Just snagged the last of the armors and weapons I’d missed and killed the furnace golems last night. I think I’m just about 100% on it now. Gonna wipe up the boss tonight and put it aside while I get back to real life for a bit.
Edit: I said “wipe up the boss.” That was a mistake, and I understand that now. I apologize for my hubris.
Yeah, that’s what I was thinking would happen. I’ll find out when I get home from work and have a chance to test it. Luckily I was farming armor and testing amulets last night, so I have a baseline damage number on an enemy already for what I was before.
