MODERATORS
Are you not liking how it runs/performance, or are you not liking the game itself?
We can make suggestions on how to get better performance, but if the gameplay doesn't appeal to you there's not much we can do about that.
Sorry everyone, the problems are: I can’t really read the messages as they’re super small and battles are really difficult, I think because the frame rate is slow.
For frame rate, I would recommend the settings presented in this video. The video has chapters, so you can jump straight to the recommended setting section. They include battery saver, recommended (40fps), or prettiest (30fps). The higher fps setting may help with combat, but the game is meant to be hard and very punishing. A lot of the game comes from trial and error, and steadily improving your playing and pattern recognition.
For messages, it's possible a graphical setting might help, but otherwise the deck has a built in magnification tool that may help you. Normally you hold down either the steam button or the ". . ." Button and then press L1 to turn on the magnifier, but if you're using it frequently you can also bind one of the back buttons to magnify. I would also recommend setting some of the back buttons to toggle between potions and drink them, I found that to be very helpful when playing.
Thanks a ton! I’ll give all these a go.
I will teach myself to do this. Thank you!
Well, we could tell them how to git gud.
