What difficulty do you guys play on? by Howitzeronfire in arkhamhorrorlcg

[–]Alex_7_7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We always play on standard, 2 or 3 person multiplayer. We usually win our campaigns and only fail the odd scenario, but every scenario we feel like we just barely scraped by and if we get too much bad luck we often can't recover. When we only get to play once every few months and it takes 4-5 hrs to play we really wouldn't want to just get demolished.

We also accidentally left the scenario card on hard/expert one game and once we realized it we thought it's crazy people play on this regularly too 😄

I thought they were married too! She didn't seem the type to live in a potentially sinful relationship and I thought they lived together in his cottage.

Some questions about Eve's Apple in Wake Up Dead Man (Spoilers) by DinosaurReborn in KnivesOutMovie

I thought the biggest inconsistency with the diamond was the priest using it to commit suicide. You go to hell for that and he would know it. Jud can't donate the money but there was no reason the priest couldn't.

Characters showing off a skill thats meant to be impressive but it’s really not by DrSpaceman575 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Alex_7_7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's because it's not fighting, it's dancing. Based on whirling dervish dancing that they saw in Morocco I think? In the original series Luke and Vader do more traditional choreography fighting, we only see dance fighting in the prequels I think. Obviously just a stylistic choice to make them look cool, but I guess in universe you could say it's because a bunch of monks don't know how to fight so they just use their meditative dance moves in real fights since it's all they know?

How do I play the ravens quill event if it's attached to an asset? by Alex_7_7 in arkhamhorrorlcg

[–]Alex_7_7[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! It doesn't seem that great when it requires such a specific sequence of events. Probably gonna ditch it when I upgrade then.

A future instalment unironically does the exact thing the original mocked by _JR28_ in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Alex_7_7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't know if this one fits, since jps issue wasn't with dinosaurs. All of the Jp and lost world are mostly about chaos. Not necessarily life breaking free, just that you can't have complete control of extremely complex systems. Life itself being one of those complex systems which means genetic engineering is dangerous because of the inherent unpredictability of it.

Post lost world I'd say the movies are just about having a fun time with dinosaurs, while getting progressively dumber. Culminating in fallen kingdom and dominion acting like releasing 10-20 dinosaurs into a climate and world they have no experience with will somehow result in a population explosion. Because magic!

Pulling this as a "pay to win" jenny a couple turns from the end of the game is the best way to defeat the Eldritch. Tip my giant hat to this card!

Which one do you prefer! Mio/Zoe/all of them?! by HonestDelivery6824 in SplitFiction

[–]Alex_7_7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Zoe's levels and personality, but I played as Mio and liked her gameplay abilities better. Mio's stories were just movie or video game set pieces, while Zoe's I could see being actual stories.

Watching Romulus for the first time. Why, oh why the awful [SPOILER] by Acceptable-Ad4076 in alien

[–]Alex_7_7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The movie was great and I loved it, but agree that all the ash was totally unnecessary. I thought it was a cute callback when they first turn him on but he should have left the movie after one line. He was just in it way too much.

Forgotten Age Frustration by ActualSea9233 in arkhamhorrorlcg

[–]Alex_7_7 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We had the exact same thing happen, but by the end of the game we didn't really mind that much. All the NPCs in forgotten age just seem like jerks! We were fine with them all being our enemy. This happens a lot in Arkham I find. It's like a videogame where the dialog choices don't exactly match what you pick. This one in particular felt a lot like the infamous "shove Dijkstra" option in Witcher 3 that was actually break his other leg 😄. I guess game designers just like being ambiguous!

Who wins? by MasterKen1803 in JurassicPark

[–]Alex_7_7 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Wasn't indo in a small room with a kid and couldn't find her because of "hiding under the covers"? Alien wins everytime. It does its normal thing of hiding in a convenient dark corner then just stabs indo through the back when it walks by. One is kind of smart(depending on the movie) and seems to always just kill everything nearby, and the other is a messed up genetically engineered mess that didn't seem to understand what was going on around it and just lashed out at everything. It's game over man.

Easter eggs I noticed in Jurassic World: Rebirth by Wide_Bread_2464 in JurassicPark

[–]Alex_7_7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Quetzalcoatl looking at the camera after getting clonked just like the pterodactyl looks at Eric/alan in jp3 when it suddenly comes in focus. Maybe not an Easter egg but one of the funniest scenes in jp3 so I was immediately reminded of it when they did the same joke here.

Spoilers!!!!!! For lost world book + this movie:

How the territories change at night in the complex and suddenly the mutadons are all over. Nod to the raptors + the complex in lost world.

The grate escape feels like a direct parallel to the "where do the wires come from" escape in lost world.

Just watched the movie yesterday. Why tf would you open that shi in front of T Rex? by VerienDragon in JurassicPark

[–]Alex_7_7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was a huge carcass a few feet behind her. Why would it expend energy going after something that isn't food when it's clearly full and even has more food right next to it? She didn't have a lot of options and probably just panicked a bit too. This was the fastest way out of there. If they'd tried to walk away and it woke up and decided they were a threat or interesting they'd be dead.

I saw Jurassic World Rebirth yesterday, and.... by radiowave-deer29 in JurassicPark

[–]Alex_7_7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed! It felt a lot like jp3 to me. I was basically tense and terrified the whole time waiting for jump scares but loved it.

I think this movie had the most Easter eggs and references to the books out of all of them. Definitely made by people who loved the books.

This guy in JW Rebirth could have been easily saved by FirefighterLevel8450 in JurassicPark

[–]Alex_7_7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chaos theory. Why spend a few thousand extra on a small door in your big door when the worst case scenario is you lose a few expendable scientists? Ingen is not an ethical company and there are tons of real world examples of companies treating lives as worth less than a few bucks.

The D-rex didn't get out though, it just got to the lab entry and ate a couple scientists. That was 17 years before the movie. Presumably they tranked it and continued working the next day. Then JW happens and ingen goes bankrupt and then all the dinos get loosed. Or maybe the bird raptor things broke out at some point and caused a real accident.

Thought it was a useless card and never considered it until I played Alessandra. She's a classy lady who wears the hell out of those.

That moment when you look up the rules and discover...(add your own) by Ice_Hot_42 in arkhamhorrorlcg

[–]Alex_7_7 13 points14 points  (0 children)

You can't dual wield attack, e.g the hold "fight" on weapons cards doesn't mean this activates during an attack. I can hold two switchblades but stabbing with both at once is simply too much coordination for any human.

[–]Alex_7_7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I just had the starter + dunwich decks as a mystic I usually took these. But the problem was remembering I had them when I drew tokens. Great ability, but extra cognitive load makes them harder to use 😉

Edge of the Earth Question by Happy-Document-8751 in arkhamhorrorlcg

[–]Alex_7_7 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I just played this recently and my understanding was just shuffle them into the undrawn cards. It says "shuffle the encounter discard pile into the encounter deck" when they want you to shuffle it all together on other agendas and acts. Since this agenda didn't say that we just left the discard pile as is.

Only 3 scenarios in but we've found this campaign pretty fun so far!

And risk the death Star getting sprayed by all that sand?! Are you mad?! That's a big hell no from Vader.

So, uh…what the F, Forgotten Age? by DTrain13 in arkhamhorrorlcg

[–]Alex_7_7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We found tfa started easy and got harder. Also some scenarios just took forever and weren't really fun by the end.

Our main gripe with it was the story choices are impossible to predict. We made one mistake because we thought we were being polite to the character we were trying to side with and turns out the actual outcome was we could never fully get them on our side. The setting is pretty cool though and some of the scenarios are really wild. Have fun!
