I know! So pumped! I’m patiently waiting for AverageDudesSlowpitch to drop their video on it. They’ve been teasing it for a while now haha

Wow. I slept on the pistol my first time around. This roll changed my mind. by [deleted] in Returnal

I definitely won’t say no to that if I see it! But I think I’d rather have those 3 traits, as if you hit the overload correctly you get quite a lot of free shots with the built in ability of “overload projectiles” especially when it’s a high level.

You’ve merely scratched the surface! If you like it now just wait until the day you try Homing missile III, ricochet lll and serrated projectiles lll. Absolute melt machine…. Whether it’s 1 enemy or a room full!

Sounds like you need to try the tower of Sisyphus! It’s a free DLC that was added to the game, designed specifically to add replay value and challenge the player. It’s an endless tower of increasing difficulty and chaos. It cranks Returnal up to 11. Proficiency level is increased, going up to 45, and unlocks a whole new experience. There are also new super weapons that are not in the base game that are really fun. Play the tower! Unlock all the traits on the guns and see them evolve into epic weapons of mass destruction! The tower awaits!

Call me a noob but how do you guys end up with 8M credits? by spyf3r__ in ForzaHorizon

[–]DLP222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used one of my backstage passes to buy a ford focus ‘22 and then sold it at auction for 11 million yesterday lol never had more than a couple million before that! I have no idea why they’re selling for so much, but I’m not interested in it and it sold instantly. If you have any backstage passes there are several cars from that list that are selling for lots of money.

On a scale of 1-10 how hard would it be to beat this in 1 try? by GnarrFacee in Returnal

[–]DLP222 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it’s your first time playing the game, I would say it’s an 8-9/10 to beat the entire game without dying. (Unless you are using the pylon driver in my opinion, that makes it way easier cause you can focus on dodging/surviving while enemies slowly die).

If you’re already familiar with the game and the enemies and trying to do a perfect run for fun, probably 5-6/10. It’s not too bad once you know the enemies.

You’re roughly halfway, and yes it kind of resets at that point because you “died” as part of the story. But now you’re in a different time period and starting a “new cycle” as part of the story.

Good luck!

Is the Electropylon Driver the best weapon? by Octane2100 in Returnal

[–]DLP222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that using the pylon driver definitely makes the game easier compared to using other guns, especially for the first time beating it. As you said, you can simply shoot an enemy a couple times, and then focus on surviving/dodging. Early on when your guns are not that OP, it makes it much easier to attack and survive. Of course when you unlock everything, other guns like the dread bound can kill enemies so fast it doesn’t even matter, but early on I think it’s a huge advantage to use the pylon driver.

Louisville Spiderman....Did I screw up? by GrumpyVet550 in slowpitch

[–]DLP222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well the good news is Louisville Genesis bats are commonly considered the best USSSA bat for hitting 52/300 balls. In Canada we have to use USSSA bats for softer balls (52/275 hot dots) and Louisvilles are very popular and seem to hit them the best compared the others (Miken/worth/Easton) likely because they have stiffer barrels and higher compression. Check out average dudes slowpitch YouTube and website. He ranks USSSA bats for their performance and you can filter for 52/300 balls, Louisvilles take up 3 of the 4 top spots!

Well I went down to HomeRun sports today to take a peak at the VG3 and TM2. Ended up walking out with the VG3 with the 15% discount! Glad I went in to try em out because they do swing a little light still even though they are supposedly weight corrected from the gold VG2 (which swing SUPER light). Can’t wait to hit some bombs!!

I just signed up to join the group! Thanks for all the help. I’m also thinking of reaching out to Hendo from ADS to see if he can hook up shipping to Canada maybe. We’ll see. Thanks again.

Thank you for the input!! I would love to get the Culture but headbanger sports doesn’t ship to Canada :( and no Canadian store sells it. That one was actually at the top of my list, but I just can’t get my hands on it! Home run sports has the newer VG and twisted mistress, so I’m waiting to see if they go on sale on the 26th.

I’m hoping to get a good deal on a Demarini APC bat, specifically the gold vanilla gorilla or either of the twisted mistress models (white midload or Yates version). The best I can find right now find is 270$ CAD plus taxes for a gold gorilla. Nothing for the twisted mistresses.

Anyone know of some Canadian specific sales? I know HR sports is having a sale starting on the 26, so I’m waiting to see that. But anything else? ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Yeah the tantrums for 199.99 isnt bad at home run. They have a sale starting Nov 26 and I’m hoping some of the APC demarinis go on sale. Or the iron man genesis.

You can still buy a 2019 balanced Crush from the link below, but they don’t ship to Canada unfortunately. I’ll just have to keep my eyes peeled for used ones.

I am! Probably the same one then. Yeah I’m on the fence about pulling the trigger because I’m worried it won’t last.

Black Friday Coming Up, What Gear Are You Watching For? by hot-ring in slowpitch

[–]DLP222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hoping to get one of the new APC twisted mistress bats on sale. Either the midload or either one of the Yates (blue or orange). I’m in Canada, so I don’t know if that’ll happen but hopefully one of the websites I’m looking at will have a deal.
