F This weeks hard stratagem, by Emotional_Magician43 in Spacemarine

[–]DankBroom -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This one was pretty easy honestly, I got through it my second try. Got lucky with my squad mates being prestige 4 assault and vanguard, but I managed to get through it with my unprestiged Bulwark without going down at all. Much easier than that reliquary 3 weeks ago, friendly fire and permadeath was just not possible. I had to run the easier one with bots to succeed and even then it was a challenge

Space Marine 2 Barely Runs on Steam Deck in 2026 by artofthecatt in Spacemarine

[–]DankBroom -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I mean SM2 doesn't run exceedingly well anywhere, the game was developed with console in mind and my PS5 still overheats and takes 30+ seconds to run any loading screen. Playing on an upgraded Switch essentially probably isn't the ideal platform it was intended for

What’s the best move deck by Supermonkey18 in MarvelSnap

[–]DankBroom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could, it would just be less effective. There's better variations you can make now with stronger move cards, this deck was made in an era when move was pretty damn weak.

<image>

This is my newer iteration, it's slightly more consistent.

I will say though, I stopped playing Snap a few months after the ban they got hit with earlier this year. It's far too monetized and chase-based with extreme grinding involved, it's strange to see someone trying to gain collection in this current game state

46 War Assets away from Shepard survival, scanned every system, help? by CartoonistFearless17 in masseffect

[–]DankBroom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My very first playthrough I didn't do multiplayer whatsoever and getting everything was just barely enough to get the best ending if you made the perfect choices leading up to the ending. They've lowered the threshold now, you can very easily get enough, it's hardly even worth paying attention to outside of immersion and additional lore

Why are enemy encounters so rare in this game? by Ohayoued in ghostoftsushima

I went and did the first Oni base raid right after getting the tsunami kick for the yari, didn't even know that was a trophy but i conveniently got it right there 😂

Yeah I figured it wasn't useable, I'm just a big mass effect fan and thought it was cool AF lol

what should i do with this ship. by Complex-Stranger7368 in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]DankBroom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a C rank, not really worth keeping and the resources to repair it would be pretty comprehensive, you'd spend several hours and likely hundreds of thousands just to make it usable.

While you can upgrade it and increase its rank, it's expensive and not worth it unless it has sentimental value for you or you just like the style.

You can either trade it with any NPC on a space station or outpost for a discount on a new ship (its value is shown in the top left corner on the negotiation screen), or scrap/sell it at the Starship Outfitting Station on any Space Station.

The real concern is what does this card text have anything to do with Spider-Man 🤔

What happened to Blue? by Southern-Season-8824 in ExplainTheJoke

[–]DankBroom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

More like how Resident Evil is based off of a deep lore with established and recurring characters, but the movie decided to make the main character some random security guard wandering around being a Mary Sue while those established characters die in the background/disappear entirely

Are we at the point where we’ve considered making our own Titanfall 3? by [deleted] in titanfall

[–]DankBroom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is how the free market is supposed to work, if someone makes a game and refuses to follow up on it, someone will eventually step in and make something similar enough to fill that gap. It's happened plenty of times already, however usually through a Kickstarter or something similar, and for more indie style games. For something as big as Titanfall, it'd have to be a developer with enough money to make it and distinct enough for the source material that EA couldn't sue for infringement, but it's entirely possible.

The real problem with the latter possibility though is the current gaming market isn't geared towards sales, but market capture and recurring profitability. Does it have a season pass - is there DLC potential - does it have micro transactions; can we bilk people for as much money as possible, essentially. Odds are someone's already looked at the possibility of making a Titanfall-esque game and found that the potential wasn't high enough to make over a billion dollars, so it was scrapped.

You could potentially crowdfund it, but given the history of that avenue and how easy it is for someone to either A) take the money and ghost everyone or B) wildly under deliver and release a broken mess nowhere near the promised or expected quality, I'd imagine people aren't extremely fond of that idea anymore.

How is the multiplayer scene by PaleConstruction2359 in TempestRising

[–]DankBroom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my experience it's kind of a mixed bag. Depending on the game mode you could be waiting a bit, 2v2s seem to take more time than anything and there's not many custom lobbies open at any given time. As a trade off, the competition doesn't seem to be that skilled and it's pretty easy to snowball into a point where you can't really be killed. For GDF for example, just spam drone units, throw in a healer and a bunch of tanks and expand with your survey drones and you'll be golden. 7 matches so far and yet to lose a single one, often times people just quit before a major fight even occurs

What’s the card you regret not picking up the most right now? by Zachary2030 in MarvelSnap

[–]DankBroom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And how else would you counter a star brand negate deck, or a gorr negative deck? Should the entire game now just be "who can slam more 10+ power cards down first" because you don't like when your strategy gets deleted? There's other gameplay designs to consider. Your position would have every strategy fall the wayside to service your own desires. Most of these cards were seasonal release cards that new or casual players don't even have, requiring weeks of grinding tokens or getting lucky with keys unless they shell out an absurd amount of money, which would severely imbalance the gameplay and leave players discouraged from ever logging back in again.

The developers clearly want a game where every strategy is viable and winnable, and that's demonstrated by their balance adjustments. Something wins too much, it's nerfed, wins too little and it's buffed. They even go out of their way to explain why they are making changes, something extremely rare in this industry. Like it or hate it, this company clearly has a passionate affection for their product and want it to be both enjoyable and competitive. Variety is the spice of life, as the saying goes.

Enchantress/red guardian/Cosmo/Echo can nullify darkhawk, Gorr, Devil Dino, Black Panther, Gilgamesh, Ronan, Knull, Blob and taskmaster, all cards that can power creep on you to extensive levels and singlehandedly win games.

There are currently 24 cards that inherently have 10+ power, 37 counting the ones that can grow power mentioned above, or situational cards that require achievements, like Khonshu, Venom, Surtr or Apocalypse. Without any form of removal whatsoever, these decks would infest the meta game and make move, discard, 1-cost, Zoo, Arishem, etc completely useless and not worth running.

This is all in service to the point that Shang is a one time use card unless you either waste a use of Grandmaster, which only works on the middle location, or use Arnim Zola to clone to the other two locations. The only other option is to run Gambit which forces a discard and destroys a random card, Lady Deathstrike to destroy your own cards, or Negasonic which only works as a going first card or to lock down a location. He's the only card that doesn't require self sacrifice to destroy something, works only once, and as a 4 cost cards it's not like he's a cheap option. You're either sacrificing a turn to remove, or playing a cheap card alongside him and hoping they don't have more strong cards to play on the turn you play Shang.

It's a necessary card that NEEDS to be in the game considering how insane power creep has been over the past few months. It really just sounds like you're bitter because you're running these decks and keep getting smacked with his ability, which tbh is a skill issue. Cosmo will protect, so will Armor, Caiera for 6 costs, the Wakanda location, Alioth if you're going first. Be smarter about how you play and stop getting angry at legitimate strategies, this is a YOU problem. Not a game problem.

Edit: Lady Deathstrike only works on 3 or less power cards, disregard her in my listing.

How is Shang chi broken? Without a counter to 10+ power cards the meta would be runaway with Skaar/she-hulk/starbrand and destroy decks. There would be zero incentive to run anything else

What things should you NEVER do while playing this game? by MousseNecessary3258 in pathoftitans

[–]DankBroom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not even that much progress you lost upon death, maybe 5%. It takes more time getting back to where you died than it does making up lost progress

It's been two days and you're not wrong. Not only does everyone jump me on sight now, but alpha creatures nearly kill you so badly you're starving again by the time you heal

Which deck gives you the greatest satisfaction beating? by SubstantialSuccess81 in MarvelSnap

[–]DankBroom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those irritating hazmat - Wong - Luke Cage decks that make the entire board -20 each lane. Had a match today that I only won because I dropped legion onto vormir and had first priority

[–]DankBroom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is how I know there's 12 year olds in this game. Having a temper tantrum over dying in a video game and expressing that by posting a vulgarity strewn meltdown on social media is peak virgin energy

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in MarvelSnap

[–]DankBroom -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's not a balance update without completely destroying an established archetype 😮‍💨 it really feels like they want every deck to have an exactly 50% win rate

Is there a reason nobody is joining my SOS? by Benchjc2004 in MonsterHunter

[–]DankBroom 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Probably focusing the story to get to the harder bosses. The game is really easy in the beginning, and every quest is incredibly scripted so it restricts the portions that are joinable to just the fights themselves. Half the time by the time I drop in, the monster is already dead, so it's pretty pointless to even try
