the 3rd cast on 2 is cool tho im sure high rank players will love that
i know they loved her sustain on lane and how easy she escaped from everything ever
celest haven
I had to do a double take when i read that shit in the patch notes last night
That'll be an actual game changer
glass knot
my impression as someone who barely plays the game is just they hit her sustain early on a bit
but the 1st point on 1 giving +50 dmg is kinda crazy
celest haven
Mhm
I think they gimped her early game in exchange for making her even stronger in mid-lategame
glass knot
i prob won't feel that big of a difference since i barely played the normal mode anyway
i played like 3-4 matches total of normal deadlock
this last week i played a grand total of 2 street brawl
and i got pretty good at not dying which is cool

wdym I need stars, here, just play the first 3 cards for free
celest haven
I forget the name of it, but they gave Silent a card that re-plays EVERY single Shiv in your exhaust deck
Which gets... so fucking stupid so fucking quickly
Especially if you pair it with the power that makes Shivs hit every single enemy
neon scroll
Yes, I used that on 3rd act boss during my first Silent win run
It was the doggo that revives a couple times and I just nuked his final form
Cause I also played a duplicate potion accuracy+ beforehands
Combos galore
celest haven
I need to dive back in and try out some Ironclad, see what they gave him
He's the one i've palyed the least in STS2 so far
neon scroll
It was, like, 30something shivs each dealing a stupid amount of damage, lmao
neon scroll
I haven't played THAT much in general, like, 7-8 runs or something? The runs still take a decent while because everything is newish and decisions are hard
7.2 hrs so far
celest haven
Fairs fairs
Game is so fucking fun and way more fleshed out than i expected for EA
I was expecting imssing characters or even regions
But it seems like it's mostly just bonus art and story stuff that's putting it in early access

Nah, I bet you there's a wholeass act hidden away for full release

Note the fern that auto fills all my potion slots each combat start + potion belt, lmao
I skipped a lot of card rewards this run because I only needed/wanted DOOM
celest haven

LMAOO
I can't decide if i like Doom or Otsy builds more on the Necrobinder
neon scroll
Honestly, DOOM is pretty fun, circumvents so much of the bs
rustic peak
Osty build has felt really bad for me whenever I tried it lol. Really stifles your damage when the hand dies
Might just be missing more unlocks
neon scroll
Yeah, basically you need really good block alongside it so your osty doesn't just go poof every round... and at that point I'd rather run Doom
Which also needs block, but at least you don't have to worry about hand HP

pokopia price went up on amazon 4 days after release
dusty imp
the steam one actually has some merit
this one is less convincing
neither of them are actually from the CMA though so its just headlines
dusty imp
it does depend on how they operate
the recent examples of surge pricing is a big strike against them
there is also precedent with apple recently being told to allow side loading on ios (also the in-app purchases thing)
that was also litigated by epic btw
so connect what dots you may
minor bolt
the sideloading and IAPs thing was due to EU regulation though, not a lawsuit
as far as i can see, this new sony thing was filed like 4 years ago
dusty imp
yeah this recent stuff is just headlines, theres no regulatory bodies involved

re this btw, frankly for a game like this it doesn't matter if the reviewer in question actually finished it. It doesn't matter one bit if the game suddenly gets good/better after the 40-80 hrs the average reviewer put into it, that's already way too much time to be bad at things
Finishing game basically only matters for story driven games, which this is not
jovial wolf
and then you have the worst of both worlds, when someone was purposefully rushing to finish it and didn't manage it anyway
i for one am intrigued from the stuff i watched over the day, but I have also been itching to play something open world with good exploration for months
and fightincowboy liking something usually correlates to my tastes pretty well
and my open world tolerance is probably way above the average person, lol

crimson desert talk is funny because from what I've seen its exactly what i expected it to be

also fun combat and cool looking map to explore

I think SkillUp asked Nvidia if that Grace demo was put out by Capcom or if it was just Nvidia and they basically confirmed it was just them?
and that they expect developers to adjust how it looks before release
dusty imp
yeah the news around this has been very confusing
minor bolt
the df video didnt really do it justice
for lack of a better term
it looked like shit but they didnt really show off or emphasize that its all tunable
dusty imp
the only way capcom devs wouldnt be involved is if jensen is lying and it a post processing filter ( or they just hooked it up to the existing dlss4 implementation)
which doesnt really make sense cause that wouldnt be useful to anyone

And imagine all the cosmetics they could have sold

perhaps you need to focus on certain scoring and try to level 'em up
rose nova
Yeah I found that I progress more with Flushes
stable stratus
also try to understand the joker's synergies

So I'd stack on a suit that the booster packs offer with enhancements
stable stratus
because reminder, scoring jokers would start from left
rose nova
And just hone into that suit
rose nova
because reminder, scoring jokers would start from left
Yeah i know
stable stratus
you should need to put multiplier jokers (x chips/mult) on very righteous side
while base score addendum jokers (+ chips/mults) on the left
rose nova
Oh
stable stratus
it really needs trial and error but eventually you will get the rhythm on how you gonna do with it
and yes
order of jokers matter here
rose nova
Also depends on Shop/Tarot RNG
stable stratus
once you figured that out you shouldn't have any problems
minor casualty such as rng is normal in this game

Yeah, so far everyone I know / seen that played it really likes the game
minor bolt
i didn't dislike any part of the server test i played, i'm just not that big into extraction shooters
the aesthetic is sick though, kind of a shame
slate thorn
It really manages to like stand out and be it's own thing within the extraction shooter genre
I'll probably pick iy up if it's ever on a good sale
minor bolt
if they had a real solo mode and everything was balanced around it, i'd pick it up
afaik they added duos and even that is a bit awkward

The game made aceu come back to uploading youtube videos which probably says enough about the game being pretty fun
Bro doesn't upload for like 4-5 months and now uploads Marathon almost every day lol

I do like watching streams of Marathon occasionally but I'd never play an extraction shooter. the thief drone and getting quick killed by invisible knife would just instantly tilt me

Yeah, imagine having to pay for a subscription service. Could never happen on PC, no sir.
That right there was basically the weakest argument to not buy a PS5
This price increase was expected anyways until the bubble bursts for real

This price increase was expected anyways until the bubble bursts for real
they announced it is happening early on the supply shortage. they simply delayed it when sony personally mentioned they managed to procur alot of chips to delay said price increase

price is based on what they think future production will cost, so <insert relevant trumpism here>

The funny part is, whenever Pokemon makes it way out of the claws of Gamefreak-only devs the result is actually pretty good games that actually shockingly do some NEW things (See: Pokopia)
But as per usual, they know people will buy it regardless, so Gamefreak proper never tries
placid otter

from the v.a. to the ost and to this

definitely indie, just well marketed behind the scenes
people do a lot if you just ask
thats how a game like sable got japanese breakfast

"sandfall having 30 employees is too big to be indie" when you them how many people worked on ori, shovel knight and cuphead
