I can't believe I forgot to try this out. Thanks for reminding me! It boosted my performance considerably.
Doubt that'll end up being the case for me. Not to mention I've only explored a small percentage of the top part of the map so far.
I finished all the quests in it (from what I can tell, none of the cities had new ones for me, at least), and gave my thoughts a few pages ago.
I tried using a program called lossless scaling where it gives you frame generation that you can use for any GPU. gave me 60 fps even in cities, but still doesnt get rid of the denuvo stutters.
I can't imagine playing mage/sorcerer for a first playthrough. That's third replay stuff. You sadly robbed yourself of half the fun of the game right there.
Really as quickly as you want if you b-line to the city.
Or any playthrough, for that matter.
I see, was hoping I could get it earlier this time. Ah well, I still have another week before I have the time to play this anyway.
Going off this I could be a real dick but I ain't that way. You did rush through the game but it sounds like fatigue set in. It happens. Some people can play Elden Ring for thousands of hours and have a blast the whole time. Around the 200 hour mark I was rushing to get it over with (it just felt like lousy bargain bin Dark Souls at that point) but unfortunately for me the game dragged on for another 50 hours. It didn't help you were maining a mage/sorce which most people agree are the lamest classes. If I was forced to play as one of those two I wouldn't be a DD fan either.
It's not a big deal, as enemies don't scale at all in NG+ and the stats you gain from leveling aren't supert impactful either, not at the level I'm at. So just picking up a new vocation makes it feel fresh the second time around.
There's definitely some truth to it, the overall gameplay experience is a lot easier and straightforward. I greatly enjoyed my Strider DD1 playtime, but I also had a blast as a caster. Unfortunately the spell system in DD2 is a straight downgrade to DD1, as there's no more upcasting of spells, you just equip the higher level version. Between that, and Quickcasting being a thing for anything but the Maister spells, and enemies giving you a lot of time to actually cast spells, and combat felt much less engaging for sure.
Rumor is hitting the gym makes your fatass less fatter.
medicatedpoot, are you still butthurt cause I linked a professional review saying dragons duckma 2 is an infestation of filth?
There's a Bridgeburner joke here somewhere...
My favourite was fighting goblins at the end of a bridge and accidentally hitting the bridge moorings and taking out the bridge, killing two of my pawns, including my main pawn.
Get off the bridge when the Arisen's in town!
There's some decent benchmarks buried in this article as well, as well as some specifics as to what might be causing it, and what fixes we might be seeing in the future.
Just run past them. I do all the time. Just keep calling your pawns to you when you do it and you can get away from them fast enough.
