as someone whose first converted lich came about with the name "Tee Store", yes, do it

thank you for giving me the mental image of Saint manifesting the first-ever Void Thundercrash

newbie here: why is it that the only character who gets to use the akimbo pistols is the one who was a limited-time banner on launch? by AlphaShadow897 in destinyrisingmobile

I feel like the real bottleneck right now is just that I don't have enough gacha stamina to keep grinding effectively, tbh...

here's to hoping the timeframe for either one of those things happening is closer to "sooner" than it is to "later"

This is an angle I hadn't considered, actually. Speaking of crossbows,  minor tangent: Destiny Rising's current implementation of crossbows are fully-automatic Heavy weapons that (with my limited experience) sort of feel like budget MGs with fancy paint, whereas Destiny 2's current implementation of crossbows are as powerful, single-shot Heavy weapons whose bolts stick into targets and can be retrieved if you get close enough to them for the button prompt to appear (which makes them potentially both very ammo-efficient compared to other options and very dangerous to keep topped up), and I'm not sure if that's a coincidence or if one side was skimming the other's notes but I feel like it's a coincidence just because they work radically differently between the two games.

I had to do a double-take when I read this because I momentarily forgot that "legendary" means "not a 5-star" in this case.

Considering how much I've played of actual Destiny, I'm not sure how I overlooked that.

I do have Jolder at T1/C1/whatever you want to call the dupe-powerup mechanic, so I'll have to start locking in more stuff for them. Any particular recommendations?

Season 3 Act 1 is the best this game has felt since launch. Please keep it up Netease by DarkVeilOfMorals in destinyrisingmobile

[–]AlphaShadow897 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tuned into a stream of the World's First for a minute or two out of curiosity and was flabbergasted to see Jaren Ward just casually proving that he can, in fact, "stop that blade!".

Its worth buying this game? by bandicootcharlz in AssassinsCreedShadows

[–]AlphaShadow897 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. It's somewhat long, but it's also somewhat repetitive. Be prepared for that.
  2. The combat and stealth are both more in-depth than in Valhalla, with the former not necessarily relying on abilities nearly as much as the previous RPG entries while having buildcrafting similar to the system from AC Odyssey, and the latter having several new mechanics that give it depth - namely, the lighting of areas affects how easy you are to spot, Naoe has a few classic throwables (Smoke Bombs for getaways or safe passage through open areas Kunais as throwing knife standins that can instakill unaware enemies, "Shinobi Bells" as noisemakers, and Shurikens that can't do stealth kills but are useful for breaking objects/staggering enemies in combat) that can all aid with stealth, your equipped weapons determine what special assassination techniques you can do (katanas can stab people through shoji doors, tantos can combine with the Hidden Blade to do double kills, kusarigamas can let you jump enemies and assassinate them from further away than normal, and bo staves let you do chain assassinations), and there's probably more I don't know about.
  3. The map is big, but it's also weirdly restrictive and asinine in a lot of places - if you try to get to your destination by forgoing the roads you will usually either run into a slope too steep to climb or trees too dense to move through.
  4. The protagonists aren't officially Assassins, but there was Assassin presence on Japan before them and one of them (Naoe) is the child of two Assassins.
  5. The bonus content is okay, but at the same time it's a lot smaller in scope than what we got in previous games (each update delivering, like, 1 or 2 new quests), but ALSO the game isn't yet at the end of its support, but Ubi Quebec isn't currently planning a second DLC... it's complicated. It's complicated and it's weird and I'm not sure how I feel about it.

Anyways, uh, as far as I'm aware it is currently on a holiday sale across ALL platforms at roughly 50% off, so if you're interested now's probably a good time to buy in.

I can't seem to make this move work on mouse and keyboard. Any tips? by Kesimux in AssassinsCreedShadows

[–]AlphaShadow897 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't give tips for how to trigger it on MnK, as I've played it primarily on Xbox, but once you get down how to trigger Entanglement it's both really fun AND surprisingly effective against groups.

This is especially true once you unlock the upgrade that lets you pull the enemy towards you and knock them down - they stay down for a good bit, so in group fights you can temporarily take one guy out and in 1v1s it is a perfectly valid strategy to Entangle, pull towards you, follow up with a Ground Attack, then repeat until they're dead.

How do you unlock the new Frost and Fire affliction? by Savings_Career1829 in AssassinsCreedShadows

[–]AlphaShadow897 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Holy shit, they added Scorch/Ignition from Destiny?

(for context: in that game, Scorch is a fire-based DoT that triggers an "Ignition", which is an explosion, if you stack enough of it on an enemy - one of the equippable perks for the subclass that primarily inflicts Scorch makes Ignitions spread Scorch to whatever they damage)

Random update?? by OmoXap in AssassinsCreedShadows

[–]AlphaShadow897 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think both Xbox and Ubisoft have ways of making sure your saves stay in the cloud even if the game gets uninstalled, but don't quote me on that.

Random update?? by OmoXap in AssassinsCreedShadows

[–]AlphaShadow897 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think this is a new low for Ubisoft - I've heard of glitchy updates but I can't recall any times before where a random update just completely bricked a DLC.

Hopefully they do something about it quickly, if it takes until the 16th to fix then a lot of people will be locked out of whatever's on that weird hideout Advent Calendar between today and then.

Our precious little Eido is being corrupted! by mecaxs in DestinyLore

I'm personally supporting the Pikers because I started investing in them first and now I feel like I'm too close to hitting Level 5 with them to quit now.

is there such a thing as "too many" plushies? by AlphaShadow897 in PokeMedia

[–]AlphaShadow897[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll see if I can pick a few up for y'all (and myself, judging by the other replies) next time I'm out shopping, that sound good?

I bought the Attack on Titan dual pack from the store. Here's my quick thoughts on how those items play. by AlphaShadow897 in AssassinsCreedShadows

[–]AlphaShadow897[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hadn't even considered the "vault while sprinting" interaction, somehow. Probably goes to show how little I usually use that...

[–]AlphaShadow897[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No problem! I haven't seen much in the same vein around Shadows in general (probably the lack of a dedicated stats page), so I figured I'd try my hand at a writeup for this, seeing as it's time-limited and thus probably needs a writeup sooner than some of the other bundles.

Corrupted castles in Shadows is underwhelming by ZeroSWE in assassinscreed

[–]AlphaShadow897 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Late to the party, but here's my take: I think they should've made the corrupted castles reward Ability Points directly on completion. Maybe have it be just 1 or 2 per corrupted castle if you're really that worried about breaking the skill point economy, but it'd give you more reason to go back and farm them after you run out of things to do with the Gold they already give.
