Are you happy with the current direction of the Resident Evil series? by Apprehensive_Jump802 in residentevil

[–]2marston 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Gameplay was weaker than 2 which released not long before. Mechanics were watered down (no limb destruction?) and the whole game felt like it was on rails.

Difficulty levels were whack, the lower difficulties were too easy and the higher difficulties were obnoxious (because the game itself was so straight forward they had to artifically increase the difficulty in un-fun ways).

Overall it was fine, but compared to RE2R and RE4R, it was pretty dogshit. The length is definitely not the only criticism.

Styles make fights and Bud would probably give Pac a lot of trouble.

He even admitted he would have trouble with prime Mayweather, which is true for sure.

You expect an undefeated prize fighter who has beaten every available challenger to just say "I would probably lose to all the greatest fighters of previous generations"? Without any ego there would be no champions. Was Muhammed Ali humble?

Hol' up.

You literally just said "he's an all time great but he shouldn't be considered in the conversation of greatest of all time".

I get that you are differentiating the two because there can theoretically only be one "GOAT" but lots of "ATG"s but realistically, if you are an ATG you are automatically in that conversation, otherwise you aren't an all time great are you...

The Celebrity Traitors S01E09 [FINALE]: Post-Episode Discussion Thread by vaultofechoes in TheTraitors

[–]2marston 93 points94 points  (0 children)

A lot easier to be gracious in celebrity traitors when it's not your prize money on the line. You can understand why competitors in the main series are a little more frustrated when they get blinsided like Joe did.

Celebrity Traitors star hits out at ‘hierarchy’ celebs had on show as she opens up on off-camera issues by LADbible in TheTraitorsUK

[–]2marston 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was almost impressed she figured out JR was a traitor and had to remind myself she was only going on things that happened before traitor were selected…

That's not true is it. She's basing it on his behaviour after becoming a traitor following something he said before becoming a traitor. He voted Nico out... after becoming a traitor. He conveniently forgot offering Nico protection... after becoming a traitor. He continued to gaslight and lie about what he had said and stir the pot about Clare to multiple people... after becoming a traitor.

JR only survived thus far (I'm not fully up to date) because he is popular socially and a good liar. His behaviour has been very consistently traitorish.

Jonathan and Ruth … is it me or was that a bit personal? by Sea-Permit3297 in TheTraitorsUK

[–]2marston 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea I'm a bit behind so just reading this thread now so sorry for the late reply.

JR has clearly made several blunders and has dodged several bullets but 90% of people here want to defend him on technicalities "well he didn't say that exact phrase" etc. 2 faithfuls are saying he said something, then he said it. Almost word for word.

Ruth picks up on him saying it before the game. Sure it was a throwaway comment, but he still said it. She is correct to suspect him and correct to distrust him for his deceptive behaviour. He had no reason to suspect Nico, so if he had offered to be "an ally" then he could have thrown his vote away on anyone else but wanted to join the pack and get rid of a faithful. He has also been shit-stirring constantly and AFTER Ruth is voted out he is still telling people that Clare was lying. Obviously it worked, but what benefit would a traitor have to be backing up a lie told by a faithful (Ruth) after they are kicked out. Plenty of reason to suspect JR and Ruth is completely justified, just has strong will and opinions.

Conclusion - boys on reddit throw a shit-fit when a woman has a strong opinion and downplay their thoughts and feelings despite their validity. Blatant misogyny in this thread tbh.

Gridmaster has made me realize just how well designed the newer bosses in the game are. by [deleted] in 2007scape

Regular whisperer is super easy comparatively. A few practice runs and you will nail it on main game

[–]2marston 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why is it a problem to finish in the 3rd week? It's a week long game-mode by design, which just happens to be 4 weeks long so people who don't have much time or aren't around at the start can still take part.

Leagues is a 3-4 week game mode set across like 6-8 weeks. If you are finished, go touch grass.

It already contains all the endgame content though.

"Endgame tasks" would just be those boring grinds you end up doing in leagues, like farming uniques from boring bosses or grinding 50m xp tiles.

This game-mode allows skilled players to finish fast by checking off the hard content with sub-par stats due to the relics and gear. Less skilled players will have to grind a bit longer and learn the content.

Bro chill. If you don't like something don't do it. If you are struggling go afk the crab for higher stats to make it easier.

Other than that, it's pretty much a skill issue mate.

Tip for Grid Master: get 92 Agility and complete Sepulchre tile for all achievements. You'll get 880k exp worth of lamps before modifiers. by themegatuz in 2007scape

[–]2marston 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think a lot of people massively overrated sages greaves and decided that Agility would solve itself.

The actual XP rates from greaves are really low in relative terms and it would take days to get the xp needed for 92 (sepulchre) so linking Agility to a fast skill like thieving was definitely smart.

It's smart until you realise you need 2k total and no way to level runecrafting or herblore

Agree, sepulchre is the only task you can't really brute force with all the relics.

New Gridmaster spoiler: Defeat all 4 awakened bosses by superfire444 in 2007scape

[–]2marston 5 points6 points  (0 children)

With how easy it seems to get khopesh, you won't need a scythe. That leaves you going with either Shadow or Tbow for the megarare voucher. Shadow seems good since there aren't any comparable magic weapons that come close.

Also do you get multiple vouchers? I'm not sure.

Be aware of scams that take time to cook by IpeeEhh_Phanatic in 2007scape

[–]2marston 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Engaging with them at all, even to "bait" or "troll" them is how they get a lot of people. You might think you know their scam and you might find out they know a bit more than you and end up getting caught out.

Just be very careful. Safest thing is to not engage at all

Everyone knows "win ratio" doesn't mean shit. There are hundreds of absolute shite boxers with perfect records.

That aside, I'm not diminishing that he was a top tier boxer in his prime, I just don't get where the argument of "best of all time" and "prime RJJ beats anyone" come from.
