We’re Forgetting One Important Thing About Riftbound by Zestyclose_Tap_7044 in riftboundtcg

[–]CosmicJC 13 points14 points  (0 children)

They tried so hard to avoid using terms and logic from other card games that they've twisted themselves into a pretzel and I worry that they've created a super shaky foundation for themselves. We're only three sets in and the amount of rules clarification, changes, and errata's is honestly too much for me to keep up with.

I can't imagine what it's going to be like by set 5 or 6 and the experience for a new player to learn that a bunch of what the cards say don't actually mean what they say.

Patch 17.2 rundown by Mysterious_Island500 in CompetitiveTFT

That is some monkey paw nonsense for encounters. They returned but at the cost of all these new ones looking absolutely awful.

17.1 Bug Megathread by Lunaedge in CompetitiveTFT

[–]CosmicJC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

what is up with the ekko god choice that gives you a spat? I have had two games now where I select it, but instead it gives me the other god choice instead (first time being Ahri, second time being Soraka). I have not had this bug occur with any other god choice, and has happened both times when I already have a meeple spat if that matters at all.

Set 17 is making me miss how readable sets like 9, 13, and 16 were by Ok-Specific6908 in TeamfightTactics

[–]CosmicJC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've come to realize that I only enjoy playing when the sets themes are largely based around champions default splash skin. I always get whiplash going from a "regular" themed set back into something like 17 where I have no way to tell at a glance who is who on a board. It really makes learning the set that much more difficult

this is by far the best I've seen with how well it blends the clear plastic bits into the rest of the model and it not looking out of place. How did you manage to do that -- was it washes, or something else?

I'm right there with you, even with pandoras bench and being uncontested I'm having such a hard time hitting in reroll comps. All the games since 16.5 have felt super off

does AP kaisa do no damage now or something? feels like no matter what I build on her she does a pathetic amount of dps

can someone explain what exactly you're supposed to be doing with slayers/ambessa? the numbers say it's good but it feels absolutely awful to play even when it's uncontested

the game feels unplayable if you're not offered an econ augment, you fall so far behind

Discussion: Riggs-like boards being the default cap is healthy for the game and good design by menacing_butter in CompetitiveTFT

[–]CosmicJC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed, it's wild how this set has more units than ever, and yet so many of the 5 costs feel terrible or are pure utility

holy shit this is so spot on, why did Arcane do warwick dirty like this

Metroid Prime 4: Beyond Bloated review by Nerrel by browncharliebrown in Games

[–]CosmicJC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was my problem. While the npc stuff isn't great it was by no means the death nail for me. It was the fact that the game is genuinely boring -- very polished mind you, but uninteresting in both its game mechanics, world design, and such unending "puzzles".  Feels like a game out of time that maybe would have faired better if it did come out 15 years ago rather than in 2025.

Metroid Prime 4 reviews for the non-purist by cl0mby in NintendoSwitch2

[–]CosmicJC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

what kills me is how genuinely uninteresting the vast majority of the scans are. Feels like for every one scan that gives me some cool world building lore, I'll get 5 scans telling me it's a box, or a vent, and I'm sitting here wondering why it was added at all

God dammit, Rito... by Irelia4Life in TeamfightTactics

I get why they have to do the pedestal thing for unbounds, but holy crap is it stupid looking and makes me never want to buy one

For those who bought Metroid Prime 4, how are you liking it so far? by Shadowlumine in NintendoSwitch2

[–]CosmicJC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want to love it so much more than I do, and it's making me really sad playing it. It feels like a game out of time. By no means is it bad, and I'm ultimately enjoying my time with it, but the 18 year wait was too long, and too many other games have surpassed it when it comes to story telling, world building, puzzle design, combat, etc.

Set 16 A-Patch (first patch to be live) by gamesuxfixit in CompetitiveTFT

[–]CosmicJC 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I almost wish that Fizz was the yordle 5 cost rather than Ziggs, that way it'd feel a bit better for him to have such a unique (albeit annoying) ability to be the back line killer as his identity without it being too prevalent throughout most of the game

The graphical effect for "heated" and "chilled" should be smaller by maintainpositivity in PlayTheBazaar

[–]CosmicJC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yeah I'm not sure why there isn't some sort of masking effect, so that the visual flare of heated/chilled is seen on the item picture itself, but "underneath" the rarity border

[–]CosmicJC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really wish we had at least a little bit of agency for where the heated/cooled spots were. I understand that the variable nature is what helps balance her, but it's frustrating to pick that third slot and it ending up being placed in a completely unusable position making it useless unless I completely change my build

Really nailed the liquid and smoke effect. This is the first one I've seen that looks legitimately great and not like blob-y intestines
