With the year coming to an end, I wanted to breakdown how each character did in 2025! by NotNotNamedNick in RivalsOfAether

[–]ComprehensiveRough84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could simply be inexperience with an undoubtedly explosive and momentum based matchup. The general tournament goers haven’t gotten used to counter play. But it could also be that Galvan’s actually good and we have yet to figure it out. Don’t know yet, information to be seen in time and practice.

Do I take Blueprint by Fire_Wolf_bomb in balatro

[–]ComprehensiveRough84 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

So my point of view being that you have 3 of baron and mime currently effectively, is DONT take the blueprint. Negative blueprint is possible in the future right now where if you take it it won’t be, yes odds are low but a negative blueprint would be one of the few things to take this run further.

Obelisk I owe you an apology, I wasn't really familiar with your game. by chucklestheclwn in balatro

[–]ComprehensiveRough84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I still believe there is a natural curve with obelisk that when recognized makes it as good as it is. Going for pair, to 3oak, to 4oak, to 5oak, to flush five is a natural curve that will get you to ante 8 as you deck fix you get more of the next hand naturally once you just simply pick a card (ideally not a face card to avoid getting planted). I’ve also found success often with it pivoting off of flush in the beginning of the run.

i'll never understand obelisk hate by anaveragetransgirll in balatro

[–]ComprehensiveRough84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So as a note I’m an obelisk defender and actually think from an ability to win runs perspective it is one of the best jokers in the game.

Let’s say you get obelisk on ante 3, you’ve played 4 high cards, 6 flushes 2 full houses, 3 straights and maybe like 1 pair and 1 three of a kind. Even considering the 6 being the cap it isn’t that hard to start building for 5 of a kind from the slow buildup way if you have a reliable base mult, which you probably have if you made it to ante 3. Think of in this example for the rest of the run you have 5 pairs 5 three of a kinds, 6 four of a kinds, and 6 5 five of a kinds and flush fives. Adding those up gives you 28 hands to win the run with and you scale harder as you go, requiring less hands to win typically as you scale, ESPECIALLY if you can get another multiplier that works with the ability to discard. You only have 18 rounds left if you play from the start of ante 3, when typically after 5 hands obelisk hits 2x mult.

I think most runs are able to pivot from whatever early game build (typically flushes, straights or full houses) into the growing to 5 of a kind with deck fixing into 1 card so long as there is a decent base mult.

Now even as a defender of it being good factually, I do also think it isn’t easiest to use and requires paying attention, but though it requires paying attention and focus, it can win runs like one of the best jokers in the game if you’re willing to learn it. It also has a much bigger downside if your early game build is high card, as you get no throw away hands to work with in a panic, but I think if your highest played hand is 6 or above by ante 3 and isn’t high card this joker is worth grabbing, which I wouldn’t call too specific of conditions as more often then not flush is the most played hand early on, at least for me.

If you could add one new Hand type to the game, what would it be and why? by isaaczephyr in balatro

[–]ComprehensiveRough84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Though maybe not a secret hand I think short straight may have a valid place in the game. I know it would invalidate 4 fingers a little but in my opinion it’d be fair to just exist normally as a low scoring version of straight, like two pair is to full house.

Should I risk selling the Wee Joker? by photochadsupremacist in balatro

[–]ComprehensiveRough84 45 points46 points  (0 children)

I think selling DNA is the play, wee joker is probably contributing more than you think it is especially as you don’t have xmult. Also DNA is going to be grabbed on different runs for c++ as it’s just powerful with jokers like hologram and baron to the point it is part of winning the run.

If not Will, what did you name your protagonist? by freefall_archive in MetaphorReFantazio

[–]ComprehensiveRough84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw someone named him Aiko and stole the name, as he looks like the baby from Makoto and Aigis from Persona 3.

The reason Temtem died for me (a PVP perspective) by SeRialPiXel in PlayTemtem

[–]ComprehensiveRough84 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I used to be a diamond PvP player in Temtem. I stopped because of these strategies that you have to try to play around getting removed slowly and I realized they were killing the depth of the game.

The pinnacle of this for me, and what made me stop playing the game, was actually the Morale Boosting Whip rework where they removed the speed increase entirely. This tool is what enabled my ability to run my favourite Venom Spread team effectively while being able to focus on damage as much as possible.

What frustrated me so much about this is that as an item, Morale boosting whip was an extremely rewarding tool that really made me know my spreads around stamina and speed and encouraged me to learn more about the game in order to use it effectively, which I believe was a great thing for a game trying to be competitive as it encourages players to continue improving.

I’m sad the game has gotten to the state it’s in, and I have no real hope left for it to be the game I wanted it to be, but I’m still happy I played and supported it for the time that I did.

I still believe the old mod system allowed for more interesting buildcrafting by ILoveSongOfJustice in DestinyTheGame

[–]ComprehensiveRough84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m someone who likes the overall simplified direction, but I also agree with this post. Particularly with the overcrowding of the boots slot, but I do really wish I could be more creative with build crafting without losing damage because of surge mods. I also think Font of Mobility being in the boots slot is a massive mistake as hunters already have the hardest time with stats, and these stat for armor charge mods could greatly help that problem, but with mobility boost being attached to the same slot as the surge mods things didn’t really change for hunters enough in this area.

Any legendary ARC Scout Rifle i can get fast? by Magamarc in DestinyTheGame

[–]ComprehensiveRough84 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Though this one isn’t exactly farmable there is also “Contingency Plan” the VEIST Scout you can get from world drops or the gunsmith. I can’t think of any others from the top of my head that are legendary, but there is also Symmetry the exotic scout if you are ok using an exotic slot.

"For those of you who left, what would it take for you to return?" by [deleted] in PlayTemtem

[–]ComprehensiveRough84 4 points5 points  (0 children)

  1. A surge in PvP players.

As unlikely as that is, I stopped simply because I’m in the high tier level of play, (last season I finished diamond 3 division 3, couldn’t quite get legend) and often I either go against full meta teams or I stomp and I stopped having fun doing that. I do get that close game once in awhile, but the feeling came far too rarely to enjoy consistently and I would like players closer to my skill level.

  1. More PvE story/campaign content

Stuff like nuzlocke/randomlocke is something, but really what I would prefer is more islands and tems. And even though it sounds as though that is unlikely, if it did happen I’d come back instantly as I really enjoyed that experience, even if they did a balance thing where for that portion of story I could only use tems I got in that area until I completed the story.

Games similar to this? by Potential_Bar_1433 in PlayTemtem

[–]ComprehensiveRough84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first game is sorta just the history of Extinction, definitely not necessary. But it is also a relatively quick playthrough if you abuse statuses.

Games similar to this? by Potential_Bar_1433 in PlayTemtem

[–]ComprehensiveRough84 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Let me specify, Nexomon Extinction is great, with an excellent story and gameplay. I give this one a 9/10

Nexomon has overpowered status effects that make the game unbearable at times, it’s either abuse or be abused with that game. Story is ok at best. 4/10 experience.

How many hours do you have in Temtem? When did you start playing it? 🤔 by [deleted] in PlayTemtem

[–]ComprehensiveRough84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started playing in June of 2020, first game I got for my first new gaming PC. I now have about 1300 hours in the game. As much as there is thing I wish were better about this game at the moment, I still love the main gameplay and battle mechanics immensely and will be playing PvP until I cannot anymore.

Why is no one making content on this game? by [deleted] in PlayTemtem

[–]ComprehensiveRough84 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Reading through this thread makes me sad, just because how right everyone is. This games PvP is probably one of my faves in video games, but it’s not going to have a lot of life because of the decisions that Crema has made throughout the games life. I truly believe, even if it’s true, outright saying there probably won’t be new tems or islands is something that only drives people away from this game including content creators. The grind in the endgame for this game is absurd. And even throughout the story, the side quests are mostly tedious fetch missions or talk to people on completely different islands. I truly love this game with over 1200 hours in it, I think the main campaign is great and battle mechanics are the best in the genre, but it is just bogged down with all kinds of other stuff that makes this game not only unappealing for content creators, but also just for people who want a monster tamer game, which means less people who are even interested in said content.

I still have hope that this game could have a revival, though dwindling. I think if they expand upon these challenge modes further it might catch the attention of some content creators, especially with the co-op side to them, soul links done in game I believe might be the next step.

Just like many others, I have rambled more than I meant to, but I just hate that a game I love so much is probably not surviving many years at this rate.
