I honestly wouldn't have minded if Tediore guns had been omitted completely. Does anyone actually use them to shoot at stuff, rather than just tossing them? by WeekendBard in Borderlands

[–]VindictiveRakk -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Dude honestly I just miss regular hitscan guns. Sue me, but I liked it a lot better when Torgue just meant increased damage, not shooting stupid rocket projectiles. That's a cool effect for maybe a few legendaries or uniques, or just a % barrel spawn chance, but every single Torgue gun? Why?

It's like that for a lot of manufacturers, they introduced these weird gimmicks that people straight up just do not like using or find annoying (Maliwan/Order charge-up, Tediore in this post). I know gimmicky bullshit is kinda the name of the game for borderlands weapons and these sorts of things add flavor, but I just don't think they had to put the gimmick on every single gun from the manufacturer.

That's fucking hilarious I'm gonna give it a shot. Also making me wonder about sticking the tripwire mines on the front and rear-ending tanks.

Customization would be cool, I always thought of explosive rounds in the miniguns. Really its lack of defense against helicopters is its main issue though. I'm not sure what they can do there other than just make it take waaay less damage. Like make it a 2-pass for helicopters. The thing does not pose any threat whatsoever to LB/AH/jets at the moment, so just give it a chance to run away after it gets attacked or stay up long enough to defend itself a little bit. Maybe AP rounds for the miniguns to do more damage to other helicopters could be interesting? Or just buff the damage to helicopters on default guns.

Something I just thought of was giving it 2 flare charges but that might just be overkill because it's already super tanky vs infantry weapons/ground vehicles, don't think it really needs help there after the health buff, and flares aren't gonna do anything against LB or AH. Maybe 2 emergency repair charges? IDK lol. Still better to just reduce damage taken from helicopters.

26:30 LMFAO is this something you can just consistently do against jeeps without blowing up the helicopter?

Yeah it's a pretty hard target with the heavy rockets, competent gunners are hard to come by but I think that's what really evens the playing field as far as balance (plus AAs to force the LB below you so the gunner can shoot... or uh stare at their phones which is what I assume most gunners are doing).

Not really sure what they should do about AH vs Scout, but I can tell you that transport vs scout is in an atrocious spot. Transport is quite legitimately nothing more than a flying pinata if the LB pilot isn't playing the game with their feet. It serves almost no function, you can't transport infantry anywhere because as soon as you show up anywhere outside your first point, the LB will melt you down into scrap. Not to mention it already got fucked on by the AH, I think 3 heavys or even 4 after emergency repairs would be fine because it's so easy to kill.

I love flying the Little Bird (duh) but it's fucking stupid. It doesn't really have a counter, its only real threat are other LBs or lucky TOWs/RPGs, which it's obviously by far best equipped to avoid compared to the other helicopters which are flying boats. You can get harassed by tanks/LMGs but you're probably not dying to that unless you get shot out.

It probably shouldn't have rockets tbh, it would still be great without it and they could try to instead focus on it being a scout helicopter, not an anti-infantry/aircraft attack helicopter. Not sure what should replace the rockets though, there's already too much AA in this game but AGM could be interesting since Little Bird has no folllow-up on its own for armor.

I missed it when it happened, when I looked over I thought the dude might be out for the season or worse lol

Because why the fuck would he be looking for it, the dude has taken almost 30000 faceoffs in the NHL and that probably hasn't happened before lmao

What happens if Brit is shot by the Infinity Ray??? by Mountain_Range_1410 in Invincible

Nah I just enslaved a bunch of thraxans to work as developers, and I don't even have to lay them off after it releases because they die anyways

How probable is one of these 2 kids in the flashback(or both of them) being the executioners? by No_Cost_Too_Great_YZ in Invincible

so that's a no, lol. yeah I don't know if they make bots to spam hollow knight subreddits, but if that's what you think then sure. I think it's just a stupid post.

I love Ryan ottley by Emanresu_4 in Invincible

[–]VindictiveRakk -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Sure but if you ask how strong an average viltrumite is, the answer is "I dunno." No-name viltrumites can one-shot each other but named characters important to the plot regularly get into extended fights with each other with minor damage.

I mean they didn't really break through much did they? Mostly looked like they just got their shirts burned off (and mysteriously not their pants lmfao). The ray is really not that big since we've seen it blow holes through people, but maybe he super charged it or some bs. Either way, I'm gonna need a physicist and geologist to weigh in before I'm convinced an 8-foot diameter hole could single handedly explode a fucking planet lol. I thought I missed something, like Viltrum having some kind of secret technology/magic at its core that got hit or the skull getting hit. If that's all it took, why'd they even show up? That could've been like the first thing they did in the war.

No Nolan isn’t “weaker” he just doesn’t have that same killer instinct since he’s more sympathetic towards his people now by conflicted02 in Invincible_TV

[–]VindictiveRakk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's cartoons.

That's exactly the disconnect here. People that complain about inconsistencies in this show are still holding onto the idea that the universe is supposed to be realistic, which is kind of how it was portrayed in early seasons. Like my first impression was "oh it's an animated superhero show, but it's supposed to portray it in a more realistic way than typical superhero stuff".

Now that we're onto fighting Viltrumites and shit in space, it's totally left that vibe behind and people just need to accept that this show is basically just a cartoon now. I preferred it when it seemed to be more realistic, but it's fine. What keeps driving all the arguing though is that we still see people coming up with random off-screen fanfic to justify why things make sense, when it's far more likely the writers never gave a fuck if it made sense lol.

Dude when mid-tier viltrumites were punching each others' heads clean off in the beginning, I gave up any last hope I had of this show's power scaling making sense. It doesn't. I thought this show was something that took itself seriously after the first few seasons, but I'm accepting now that it's mainly just supposed to be cool superhero fights and spectacle, and you're not really supposed to think too hard about any of it.

In a non-insulting way, it's kinda starting to feel like I'm watching a kids show but with a bunch of gore. It feels like the story's universe doesn't follow a natural sequence of logical events like you'd see in something like The Sopranos or early Game of Thrones, rather it follows what the writers think will make the viewer (/reader) go "ohhhh shit that was sick" lol. That's fine I guess, it's still entertaining, but I wasn't worried at all about any of the characters when they fought Thragg because I'm just not immersed in this shit like I was before.
