For as tragic a game I knew it would be, I still bought it at launch. And honestly, as a time waster, it is exactly the experience I hoped for. Fast biking through the sky. What does however sadden me is the wasted potential the game truly had. It could have been a comedic take on Pilotwings, but it's squandered the opportunity. New maps would be nice to see in future updates too.
But like I said, I went in expecting some fun trash, and that's thereabouts what I got.

Tragic like... Momodora 4? Or Lufia 2? Or Red dead redemption? Or let me spoil some other game?
What kind of tragic?

Tragic in the sense the game is exactly what you see. It's basic. The environments look like they were borrowed out of a Unity demo, yet it still manages to provide a suitable amount of variety in the six or seven stages it has. The bike choices in the beginning felt incredibly lackluster also, with the starter bike being too slow to be fun, and the better bikes being too expensive to realistically get before growing tired of using the starter bike. This was however addressed in an update, adding tutorial stages with nice amounts of money for completion - letting you ditch the awful starter gear essentially as soon as you've gotten to grips with the game.

It was a good decision on the dev's part if I'm being honest. The update is another thing worth laughing about. It actually tried to fix a lot of the broken English seen in the game. For example, upon buying a bike, in v1.0, it would be listed as "Buyed". Sure, it's bad grammar, but I found it somewhat amusing and charming. Now, while it does indeed say "Sold Out", the miscellaneous dialogue seen in stages is now broken to the point of the puns being lost in translation.

I know it isn't a good game. I really do. But at the same time, I can't help but find myself charmed by it, enticed even. If you have the spare cash and find yourself in need of something you can pick up in short bursts and just enjoy a little at a time, I really would recommend it.

I'm confused what you mean of the type of tragic in momadora revier under the moonlight...I loved the game so you surly arn't talking about it being bad/buggy, and I don't really remember the story having much tragedy...I suppose the story is slightly forgetable but the gameplay is the forefront of it

I am still sad that no matter the amount of skill I put into it, having taken all achievements, including don't even try this, pacifist and imperishable.
Fucking joke, imperishable, no matter what I do Kaho still dies in the end... Hell, let me bend space time and corrupt continuity, I want Kaho alive!!!

PS: And don't even get me started with Cath!

No, I mean the ending where Kaho sacrifices herself absorbing the evil that curses the Queen into herself and later fading away from the world. I.e. dying in order to effectively remove the curse. :sad:
And also, poor Cath, the best you can do is end her fast out of pity.
Also the Pardoner, poor Pardoner, she was just a little crazy, but she didn't have to die like that.

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i have that stupid connector on my gpu luckily it's only a 300w gpu so i should(?) be fine since all the issues are with the quad 8pin->12pin and mine is only dual 8pin
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even cablemod had to recall their 12pin angled adapter
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    seems like nobody can make these things properly
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    quite a tight bend on that 8pin->12pin adapter in my case, which is the worst case scenario, but i made sure it was fully seated after plugging everything in and bending the cable so it shouldn't come unseated by itself since i pre-stressed the cable
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Lol Veho
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    The Real Jdbye I am going AMD this gen still debating 7900XT or XTX
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Psionic Roshambo i didn't go amd for one specific reason, the AI performance is way behind nvidia
    +1
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i just got a 4070ti
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    oh yeah also DLSS is a pretty solid reason to go nvidia since fidelityfx is kinda crap
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and now with the rtx video upscaling, and sdr->hdr conversion, even more reason to go nvidia
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    both of which work well in potplayer
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    amd is a bit cheaper though
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Cheaper and they are less stingy with the RAM not a big issue now but I can imagine in a yard or two things might be different
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Year not yard lol
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the vram is one advantage when it comes to AI but ends up being slower even with that and really AI is the only use case that needs more than 12gb vram right now
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Interesting lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think I watched a video where two games at 4K where eating just over 16GB of RAM and it's the one case where the 7900XT and XTX pulled ahead (minus RTX of course)
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    So my opinion is that they could age a bit better in the future, and maybe AMD will continue improving them via drivers like they tend to do. No guarantee there but they have done it in the past. Just a feeling I have.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    cyberpunk at 4k without DLSS/fidelityfx *might* exceed 12gb
    +1
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but that game barely runs at native 4k
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think it was some newer games and probably poorly optimized PS4 or PS5 ports
