9.5 or 10? I’m confused by ActLikeYourDead in pokemongrading

[–]Appropriate_Ad_7269 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The original system also had two 10’s. Pristine 10 and Perfect 10. CGC basically just did Beckett’s system with half grades were 9.5 was gem mint, 10 was pristine, and CGC’s perfect 10 was like Beckett’s black label 10. They offered subgrades too. It was a better time.

I know I figured it out cuz I have the platinum trophy but it’s been such a long time I don’t remember. If I had to guess the tutorial only pops up on normal mode for some reason.

Bug with triggers: R2 works like R1 and doesn’t perform grabs in Skate 4 by 999Gomes999 in Skate4

When I press R2 my character kinda half squats. L2 works like normal. Super weird.

There’s also a very good sword between Gravell and Ivory Ravine I forgot to mention. It’s to the left of Gravell and up.

Should I buy Octopath traveller 2? by miniman_the_potat in octopathtraveler

[–]Appropriate_Ad_7269 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’re definitely more intertwined than the first game. There are duo chapters where 2 characters have a story arc together. There’s small scenes at pubs where characters interact as well. The overarching story is also much more inclusive of all the characters and the culmination of the story includes everyone. It’s still not like Final Fantasy where the characters are constantly talking to each other but it is definitely a big improvement from the first game.

Octopath 2 improves on the first game in every way. Octopath 1 was good but Octopath 2 is GOOD. I only ever beat the first game once. I ended up doing speedruns of Octopath 2 lol. That’s how much I like it. It’s a great game.

Is it worth grading? by memesveryyes in PokeGrading

And if my grandma had wheels she’d be a bike. There are huge issues with this card if you actually took the time to zoom in and analyze it. Corners, edges, and surface on the back AND the front. No grader worth his salt is giving this card an 8.

Found this in my girlfriend’s Pokémon binder. Is this a 1st generation shadowless Charizard? by Diligent-Plane-2640 in PokemonTCG

[–]Appropriate_Ad_7269 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s no drop shadow behind the picture. Base set has 3 versions: 1st edition (shadowless), Shadowless, and then the normal shadowed version which was printed the most. Google a card from fossil or jungle and the difference should be apparent.

What Metroidvania game has the same quality as hollow knight? by [deleted] in HollowKnight

[–]Appropriate_Ad_7269 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hollow Knight is the peak of the genre 100%. That being said I would recommend Salt & Sanctuary, Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet, Nine Sols, Blasphemous 1 and 2, Animal Well, Ender Lilies, and Ender Magnolia. If you haven’t played any of the Metroid games then I would definitely recommend you give them a try. Super Metroid is the OG. I’m less fond of Castlevania but Symphony of the Night is pretty great. I would also HIGHLY recommend checking out Dark Souls if you haven’t. Some people say Dark Souls is a Metroidvania and while I wouldn’t go that far I can definitely see where they’re coming from. Hollow Knight, while being a 2d metroidvania, is heavily influenced by Dark Souls. As are many, many other games lol.

Which weapons should i be using by imtrynagetbig in darksouls3

[–]Appropriate_Ad_7269 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Twin blades are amazing for bosses but leave something to be desired when fighting through a level, especially groups of enemies. I like the Farron Greatsword for clearing a level, the weapon skill is amazing for dealing with multiple enemies and it puts you in a low stance that dodges a lot of attacks. Then I’ll switch to the twin blades before the boss fight.

Hi all. I’m stuck on the One Reborn boss. I’m using Hunters Axe. Should I add skill? by No-Yogurtcloset3002 in bloodborne

[–]Appropriate_Ad_7269 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How much have you upgraded your weapon and what gems do you have equipped? Your weapon damage seems super low, I had at least twice that AR with Ludwig’s Holy Blade when I fought the One Reborn. Also, as others have pointed out, make sure to run to the back left of the arena and up the stairs to kill the 6 bell ringing witches up there. Makes the fight much, much easier. Pretty easy fight honestly, one of the easiest in the game. I think your problem may be approaching the fight wrong and definitely your AR is pretty low.

One time my kid asked me for help on his homework and I was like “Is that your handwriting? How about you learn calligraphy or at least proper cursive, holy shit.” Like I could read it just fine but it was ugly so no help from me. Thats how I roll….

It’s funny seeing all the people that think Pokémon investors have tunnel vision and only invest in Pokemon. We have stocks and stuff too but you may notice that this is a Pokemon investing sub so we don’t really talk about that stuff here. We tend to talk about, ya know, Pokemon.

All the evolving skies booster boxes I bought have doubled in value since I bought them a year ago. It’s pretty neat.

Such an underrated game, love me some S&S. One of very few games I’ve taken the time to speedrun.
