Hey 😃👋 Gamer Meute oder Leute, egal. Ersteres klingt irgendwie lustiger. Wer spielt gerade, oder hat dieses Spiel schon am PC gerockt. In Kombination mit einer aktuellen RDNA-4 Radeon Karte.

Das Teil rennt auf meiner Kiste faster than auf meiner anderen Game 🎮 Station . Also Mal sehen hier die Specs und Einstellungen

9070 XT Nitro/ RTX 4080 S beide mit Ryzen 5700x3D Settings auf Qualität DLSS/ FSR.

restliche details auch. Auflösung 2K. Wobei ein Monitor UWQHD hat. Und der andere WQHD.

Rote GPU ist schneller. Basic 180 bis 340 FPS zu grün 160 bis zu 280. FG aktiviert.

Nun ja, es ist allgemein bekannt, das AMD mit seiner aktuell stärksten Radeon auch teilweise schneller rennen kann. Im Vergleich zur RTX 4080 S. Generell liegt die rote aber im Bereich zwischen RTX 5070 Ti und der größeren 5080.

Zum Schluss noch ein Wermutstropfen. AMD hat's bis heute noch nicht geschafft, das bestehende issue mit der FG und aktuellen Radeon GPUs, zu beseitigen. Trotz mehrmaligen Absturzberichten. Es ist auch anzumerken, das NGREEDIA (auch bekannt als NVIDIA) seit Anfang dieses Jahres 5 Updates ihrer Treiber gemacht hat.

Wohingegen AMD nur 2. Die sind insgesamt flexibler und wesentlich schneller als AMD. Diese Historie ist aber schon lange bekannt. Happy gaming 🥳 folks.

Finished Cronos recently for the first time and WOW, what an incredible game. I can see why some people didn’t like parts of the story and things like inventory management, but to me this is one of the best horror survival experiences I’ve ever had.

The problem that I’m having is that I want to play through NG+ with my current upgrades, but even on Hard the game feels too easy because of how strong you are, which kinda takes away some enjoyment for me. Tried looking for some difficulty mods but can’t find anything. Would appreciate any suggestions!

This is my first post, and I’m also pretty exhausted since I just finished the game so I apologize for my lack of context in advanced. I just really wanted to mention this fact/arguably theory that I noticed a lot of people don’t seem to mention. Or at least mention specifically. That is that the collective, and the travelers they send out are the same people who get saved and “ascend”.

I kind of had my suspicions by the steel factory since by this point we saw how strange and matrix-esque the “ascension” process was. But the moment we started seeing ND-3765 have hallucinations of Weronica it immediately clicked that you were her, although some sort of traveller-collective filtered version of her. This was later confirmed by my ending (B), which infers The Warden managed to upload one more person: being Weronica. After which he either broke the machine or purposely broke it in an attempt to keep her soul from reincarnating or more precisely being repurposed.

It kind of goes with the whole idea mentioned by a couple characters (i can’t remember at this moment who or where i read it) that the collective uses the very souls of the people it saves as fuel, which was the exact line I read in one of the early game notes that immediately made me come to this conclusion early on. The Collective essentially being this boot-strap paradox-ed hail Mary guerrilla warfare tactic by the surviving remnants of humanity (who likely only advanced technology that far because of the very bootstrap that they would grow to become).

Quick Rant:

Only thing that kinda pissed me off at first with the ending though was The Warden’s whole reaction towards the end of the game, when ND-3765 literally tells the Warden “Yo dude I’m Weronica” and he genuinely tweaks the f*** out. Really puts an end to the “If I was a worm would u still love me” debate. It’s linearly the best case scenario for what he wants, Weronica ends up getting repurposed into a Traveller but beats the odds and seems to be slowly getting her memories back (as seen near the end when ur chasing him and hear Weronica saying “Can’t you see it’s still me” in ur own head). Like bro you are fumbling the bag so hard right now dawg, u got ur own little ‘shrek - princess becomes an ogre with u’ situation and u somehow DON’T want that?? I mean what the hell was he expecting to happen had his plan worked out? She was literally going to die of old age anyway had he brought her back safe and sound. Best case scenario would again be transferring her mind into a Traveler’s body which he did successfully!! Dude has some OCD or something to not expect some side effects, like following commands at first because you literally didn’t remember yet. Bro heard you say “As is our Calling” one time and threw out the whole playbook. What. A. Tweaker.

Edit: I ALSO FORGOT TO MENTION. DUDE DECIDED TO RESTART A WHOLE TIMELINE AND LITERALLY CRASHOUT OVER SOMETHING THAT COULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED IF HE WAS IN THE ROOM A MINUTE BEFORE HAND. Like bro go back and time and tell your ass to get out from whatever rock he was laying under. His biggest problem is his inability to see it’s his own fault. How the f*** are you going to meticulously devise this whole plan, literally help me go find the Pathfinder’s body, then go f*** off somewhere knowing full well there’s probably a chance ND-3765 can get back any moment and access ur deepest secrets using ur own past selves body. Like bruh at least put another password up or something. Or idk just don’t randomly go out until they get back. And before someone says he didn’t have his memories yet or something, his older version aka the version we know as The Warden is those memories so he has no excuse.

to this day, dead space scares me. Cronos didn't scare me once. The overuse of body horror is honestly a let down. going for Eternal Darkness mind screw is appreciated but...I never played it so it didn't have an effect on me.

The game is a love it or hate it (I don't like how ammo takes up a slot but that's just me) but it doesn't have that scare factor. we've seen zombies, we know what's going to happen. try a different species for once. what about werewolves or a Pontianak. I'm sick to death of seeing mutants. It doesn't scare me, it feels fake. there's also the fact that there's no other living people other than a few characters. what is there to get invested in?

again, this is my take. Do i hate it? Debatable. I do have to give the team credit for trying something but to me, inventory management is only good with a select few games.

so...skill issue on my end?

I'm not trying to rage bait. this is my genuine opinion and the last thing i want is to upset this subreddit

edit: currently playing the second half of the game, consider all my criticisms invalid. whoever wrote the story should get an Oscar. I would love for a sequel.

Just finished my first playthrough. Absolutely loved every minute of the game.

By the end I was rocking the Dagger, Lancer and Hammer.

What were other people's weapons of choice? I found the Dagger to be superior to the sword. The base damage boost, paired with the faster aiming and fire speed off set the slightly more ammo hungry cost.

... are the doors closing on their own behind you.

Still haven't got used to it and I'm pretty sure I'm approaching endgame 😭

Just getting to what seems like the last area, the Abby. I remember watching reviews saying the game was good but the story wasn’t. So far I’ve been so intrigued by the story and it’s mostly why I’m so invested. I will say I’m playing on easy since I only get a couple of hours after my little one goes to bed, but def think I should have played on normal because I haven’t died yet and always have plenty of supplies.

If I’m being honest I don’t FULLY get what’s going on in the story, but I was the same way with silent hill 2 remake since I never played the original, and I do enjoy that experience in a game. As long as the ending doesn’t heavily drop the ball, this is one of the favorite unsuspecting games in a while.

SPOILERS AHEAD

If pathfinder shuts himself off in the abbey how can the warden exists at all? I understand he comes from the future but how can he even exist? There is no bridge between the pahtfinder and warden. Another question I havbe is how nd 3500 is our predecessor if warden stop the awakening process. Maybe another veronica project? Most of the mysteries in the game can be answered in some capacity but I cant find anything abut these. Are these maybe plot holes?. Otherwise I love the story.

Decided to play through the game again recently, going through Forged in Fire on a fresh save for shits and giggles, and I found myself experimenting with different weapons and strategies.

Which got me thinking... Which weapons do you nerds use? How much ammo do you carry for each? What's your game plan for every orphan, and do you have specific uses for each weapon?

My first time running through the game was heavily reliant on the starting pistol and shotgun, and I thought at the time "There's no way you can carry enough ammo for the Dagger or Mace for them to be as effective".

But this time around, even on hard mode and on a fresh save, I find myself rather enjoying the Dagger and carrying much less ammunition for the shotgun. Pistol ammo is everywhere and you can craft tons of it if you don't get hit, so the Dagger using twice as much ammunition as the Sword pays off in that respect; not getting hit means more ammunition, which means enemies die faster, which means there's more you can spend on ammunition-

As for the shotgun, I find myself only carrying the 5 rounds in the chamber and using it to deal with the big guys and evolved variants selectively. You run into just enough shotgun ammo naturally that you can always keep it loaded, so that frees up an inventory slot for another weapon, more ammunition for something else, or just more items.

Anyway... what do ya'll do? :D
