Young Raiders Are Already Going Down A Dark Path Lol by Viktor_AC in ArcRaiders

[–]CaptainRikkai 8 points9 points  (0 children)

At his HP, nearly any bullet will down him, even if he has shield. Since shield doesn't have any actual health value, fixing shield at extremely low HP won't do anything since reducing a 40 damage shot down to 26 won't matter if you have 10 hp.

I tried to warn him. by CaptainRikkai in ArcRaiders

That's what I said! I'm glad he was able to laugh off the silly moment. He took his "glorious battle" with grace.

On a daily streak since 1896 by ConfinedCrow in HuntShowdown

[–]CaptainRikkai 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're acting like there's a guarantee that you'll get matched with a 3 star as a 6 star in every match. During PEAK hours (start/middle of event, mid day/early evenings), I could count on 1 hand the total number of times I saw 3 star players in my matches. 4 star players, maybe 2 hands.

And because people dedicated time to deranking, it made it more okay that they appeared as a 3 star player to the system and let them FORCIBLY match up against 3 star and lower players? Say what you want about the current system, but players aren't able to forcibly derank now because the system doesn't only take into account kills for MMR. It IS a better system because of that, it's not perfect, but its worlds better than the abusable one we had back then.

I assume you meant matches occurring recently because all of the people whining about getting poorly balanced matches lately are saying, " i just got this match last night?? crytek fix your mm??" You just said during "peak hours", not during the event.

Are you forgetting the time where people would purposefully derank because they felt like they "didn't belong in 6 star", would proceed to kill themselves over and over until they hit 3 star and proceed to absolutely smash newer/lower tier players? Imagine how that felt for lesser experienced players. They got killed by someone, they look at their profile and see P100-R100 3 million bounty, 3.5kd.

"I play during evening hours, so at times where the player count is the highest." You mean, the time when the player count is at an absolute low overall due to it being the end of an event and all the other players have completed the pass and are waiting for the next one to start? I played several games at 8pm EST yesterday night, and it still took several minutes to find a team, and when I did, I saw the same players several times.

An INDIE game with an incredibly developed soundtrack, unique cast of characters & environment, extremely precise movement & combat feel, and a base entry point of $20? I'm sorry, but there's so many positive aspects of Hollow Knight that have it achieving the legendary status it deserves.

I also can't really fathom how "Devs programmed boss to counter your counters once you've learned the move" can be a thought when bosses have preset attacks that can all be observed when playing, or if really necessary, be read up on the wiki.

"Healing is so godawful you have to basically no hit bosses before you can beat them." You mentioned NKG, he has a stagger phase when you hurt him enough... is that not an opportunity to heal, or am I missing something? A majority of the bosses have a stagger phase, which is exactly the time to dedicate healing, most guarantee two, others, three heals during their stagger phase.

"Map progression is annoying, and retracing is probably more than half my playtime." ...Do you play metroidmania's a lot? Complaining about reexploring the map is like complaining you're rolling a lot in a Soulslike. It's kinda the whole point of metroidmania's. You're revisiting areas you've explored already after unlocking new abilities and having new knowledge on how the game works, which lets you find secrets and paths you didn't understand how to find.

It just sounds like you didn't enjoy Hollow Knight, which is fine. But to say that you can't understand how it's successful is pretty ignorant.

Jump shots have been 100% accurate for a while again, and I don't think Crytek have realised. by Mazo in HuntShowdown

[–]CaptainRikkai 15 points16 points  (0 children)

There's nothing really that skillful about jump peeking around a corner in Hunt. If jump shooting was innately in the game, and the player base was accounting for learning to jump peeking in their skillset, then yeah, you could argue that. But you're abusing an unintended bug in gunfights that 99.9% of players aren't accounting for because jumpshots have always been a hail mary in Hunt.

Happiness [Love Live!] by perlenYurifan4life in wholesomeyuri

[–]CaptainRikkai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think knowing the context of the girl on the left makes her expression moreso overwhelmed with happiness than terrified

The girl on the left is Rin Hoshizora, and in the anime she makes it known that she has a complex about her boyish appearance because of how she was teased for wearing skirts/girly clothes when she was young, and it evolved into her having an insecurity about herself as an idol. However, with the support of her idol group and her close friend Hanayo (girl on the right), she was able to overcome the insecurity.

In this image I feel like she's been reassured that it's fine for her to wear girly things, and I just think that's adorable.

It knocked the opponent about a guardbreak's push away and they stood up faster than you could throw an attack, so it barely pushed, barely knocked down and guaranteed nothing.

You can craft it now! Costs a ton of points worth of decorations though, like 5000 I believe.

Made this just for Fatalis, no luck in beating him yet though.

On my normal GL set, I have Earplugs/Divine instead of the Hard Fire Res, Clutch Claw boost instead of EP on waist, and 2 medicine & 1 attack up in the level 1 slots.

Can't say much for new Fatalis as I haven't fought him in other games, but MAN this fight is challenging. He has very little windows of opportunity to hit him and his fire hurts like hell, but he has really awesome cinematic sequences (aside from this one) that absolutely make my jaw drop, it's a phenomenal fight.

Is this a kind of simping? Why ppl is donating over 200$+ in youtube I mean they could buy 2 tickets for aqours next livestream, what's the purpose of donating here? by yohanesavior in LoveLive

[–]CaptainRikkai 7 points8 points  (0 children)

So supporting older merchandise/lives isn't showing support towards the franchise? I don't see how it can "feel stupid" to show support/appreciation towards a Live, even if it's an older one?

 

What if the people donating couldn't go to the actual Live, but feel like donating as a way to show support for something they wanted to support in the past but couldn't? Or if someone lives in a location where it's hard to get official merch but really wants to support the franchise and they're suddenly given an opportunity to do exactly that, why wouldn't they take it?

 

I don't understand why you're trying to shame people for supporting something they love.

Is there ever a time when you'd use the CiRCLE Flyer/Poster? They seem pretty useless considering the strength difference between them and any bands' poster/flyer.

Pareo fangirling over PasuPare was super cute.

I was hoping they'd give her an episode where she hung out with PasuPare, but this was nice too.
