Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.

Rules

1. Submissions have to be related to games

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

6. No linking to piracy

Don't share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.

We don't want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

Hope the pc version runs well. Watching my partner play in 30fps looked painful.

There’s a performance mode. It’s not a solid 60 except during combat, then it’s solid 60. But even with the drops during exploration it’s better than 30 imo.

[–] Soulyezer@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Honestly 30 with reduced motion blur was better imo, 60 with fps drops and resolution drops to 720p on a 4K TV is just not nice

[–] eendjes@feddit.nl 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yes but that mode made everything look like mush. And worked rather poorly outside combat.

[–] EeeDawg101@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

I bounced between the performance mode and the graphics mode and finally after 50 of playing I’m confident that I’m happiest with performance mode. The downgrade in graphics isn’t that bad IMO and I’m on a 55inch 4k tv that I don’t sit very far from. The smooth combat is just sooo much nicer for me. I do hope they can refine the perf mode with future updates though.

Wonder what the dlc will be about?

I have a few ideas but don't want to put spoilers here.

If this is a continuation of the main story then I don't mind but if this is just content placed in the middle of the story like FF 15 then I don't know why I keep buying games on launch just to get a partially complete experience.

Let's hope the difficulty of this dlc is also higher. I felt like in the main game Clive melted any non boss enemies after the halfway point of the game

As to be expected. There will probably also be an xbox version eventually.

I've been avoiding spoilers for FF XVI precisely waiting for this announcement. Hopefully they don't pull the same shenanigans as last time and release it on Epic Games only.

[–] Boiglenoight@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I was merely procrastinating but yeah, now with it coming to PC I'm going to be dodging spoilers like bullets in the Matrix.

[–] relative_iterator@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Awesome! Any eta for that?

[–] simple@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

Sadly no ETA was given.

Neat, I think we all know it's not really in development as much as waiting for a date written on a contract. But more people having access to games is good
