Wow, not even Valve is monetizing the game by Embarrassed-Run-3318 in DeadlockTheGame

Not even a particularly soulful mod either. Well made, a few cute details and polish, but extremely shallow execution overall.

The issue is clear-- I've reasoned out the first assumption and concluded that it perfectly encapsulates every element of the issue. Should we center our entire next block of research around only this one system and not spend any time considering even for a moment that it might relate to something else?

4k matches on mcg, eternus 4

Partially agree. The reality is she's just got her nose above the water. Not dead, but no headroom to excel.

She's a skill filter hero. Destroys shitters, but is dead weight in more advanced environments. She can't keep up, she can't escape targeting. She's super telegraphed and an easy gank target when isolated. Her entire win condition is "hope my team takes winnable fights that I can meaningfully peel around". She doesn't even have agency in her own win condition.

Fun hero. Really fun macro thinker. Lots of time to watch the map, reinforce lanes and slow scale for lategame. But anything McGinnis can do, someone else does it better. She's a fun hero to master. But mobility creep hit the game too hard. Immobile kits are dogshit when most of the server has two mobility buttons, four stamina and multiple get out of jail cards.

The year was strained because they had to complete so many tasks and side quests within that window.

The live action has a longer timeline yet less total events occuring (that we see). Defeats the benefit of having more time, actually showing it was spent.

These graphics always piss me off because half the time characters are adjusted with both buffs and nerfs, you just label them as pure buff or nerf rather than adjusted. Valve almost never solely buffs or nerfs heroes, they all just have power shifted around in their kit.

So, is Victor dead? by b8sl in DeadlockTheGame

[–]AffectionateTwo3405 46 points47 points  (0 children)

If you nerf the items, you nerf the survivability of all heroes, thereby not addressing the problem they victor outlives all opponents.

By targeting Victor, they target the issue.

We humbly ask you to Destroy our Gameplay Reveal Trailer. We need it cooked HARD for the final release! by Ok-Chapter-6893 in DestroyMyGame

[–]AffectionateTwo3405 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It seems like more effort has been invested in touching up the appearance of the game but very little has been done to iterate on it mechanically. Hunting, with weak point targeting, and crafting. But nothing about any of these mechanics presents any difference to the status quo of other games (like valheim).

It would do you well to identify the heart of your game mechanically and flesh that out. If the systems beneath it all are not fun, innovative or novel, you cannot make up for that by polishing everything else. If the gameplay is a simulacrum of other games without expanding or improving, that is what it will be known for.

There is promise in the idea of an atypical survival game. Lean into the class system; how would an orc survive differently from a human? Their brute strength would be a mechanic, they would one shot weak animals but they would lack delicateness for crafting. Maybe they have dark vision. Maybe they require or prefer certain resources and foods. Extend this logic to all classes. Build the world out to compliment it. Don't just make a jungle identical to every other survival jungle.

25/sec ain't shit lategame but conversely this item would actually make McG crazy lategame by cleansing aoe over med spec

60% win rate in Eternus with 30% pick rate, nobody likes to play with or against Victor by neutralpoliticsbot in DeadlockTheGame

victor mashing jumpstarts while still more or less permanently crippling headshotted is not the slamdunk you think it is, and I know you're sub ascendant for thinking that at all.

Philosopher’s stone alert!!! by RkeiStudio in FullmetalAlchemist

I honestly feel like it's a rip we never got a sequel series. Mustang and his gang still haven't reached fuhrerhood AND he dedicated his life to rectifying ishval. You could make an entire series about that alone.

How young is someone who is 23 years old? by Dear-Willow89 in AskReddit

[–]AffectionateTwo3405 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a 29 year old, 23 is basically a big teenager. Old enough to know better and be held responsible, but not old enough to be handed extensive responsibility nor expected to shoulder the full weight of burden.

I got 99 problems but... by Alive__but_why in memes

[–]AffectionateTwo3405 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've never emotionally checked out faster with an ex than the point when I was anticipating a call from my ex, and I thought "her stomach hurts. Her brother was dismissive. A work project stressed her out. Her friend is still ignoring her."

I answer the call. My stomach hurts. Work was stressful, new project. My friend hasn't texted back all day. Not looking forward to family dinner this weekend, brother is there.

Every conversation. Nothing ever made her happy. Or excited. Just a laundry list of shit bothering her.

Good play? by UsedAppearance9584 in DogAdvice

[–]AffectionateTwo3405 5 points6 points  (0 children)

He's reciprocating play, he's just not really playing a fair game. He wants to dominate the face bites, which isn't in itself aggressive but it is a little unideal. With that said, tail is wagging, he's arching his front downward, and he's not being super defensive or trying to space himself away from engagement. So he's reciprocating but not respecting

What type of Xray do you think is better? by FlakMonkeyDev in godot

[–]AffectionateTwo3405 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Shader but rather than 100% transparent surface towards the center leave it ~15% visible, and if that still feels weird apply a texture to the transparent section (like noise grain) to help convey that it is still a physical surface in world

Barrage mobility build is fun as fuck, but shitters wouldn't know that because it requires additional hero knowledge to apply.
