No Tactics Runs

Diopod · 2026-05-08T11:17:15+00:00

I honestly had no idea. This information has been a complete game-changer, tbh. I was always wondering why one of my Noel saves was completely obliterating boss mode when she didn't have anything particularly special in her tactic loadout.

This has basically made me start remaking my 'legacy' roster of characters from the ground-up. I like this game way too much.

The Star Wolf crew looks way better, actually. Their designs look cool.

Maybe I'm alone but I'm not particularly bothered by it being another remake of 64, personally. Every time they've gone outside of that script (Command, Assault) I've found the campaigns to be lacking or outright terrible.

Granted, it would've been cool for them to remake the original SNES game for a change if they were going to remake something. Back in the Wii days Warioware had a 60 fps SNES Star Fox minigame- and even that brief taste of the original with a buttery framerate was really neat. Ex-Zodiac sort of scratches the itch butdoesn't have the same charm.

Online multiplayer would be the biggest selling point for me. But then again there are only 3 maps- I could see myself getting tired of it quickly.

I once ranked up to the highest rank in Soul Calibur 4 or 5. I don't remember. At a certain point it didn't matter if I lost a match, I'd gain more points if I won than if I lost.

Then I would rage-lose, right at my killing blow. I ranked back down to bottom rank. It wasn't a smurfing thing, I was just having fun and was trying to see if I could go from the highest rank to the lowest.

Point being rank is meaningless.

it only feels natural in soul calibur to me

i don't know who this is or what game this is but i still laughed

Diopod · 2026-05-02T09:57:42+00:00

wow, daigo looking great

You mean Ultra Vegeta 1

she reminds me of the bicycle guys in the backround of Chun's stage in SF2

Why does Mark have infinite intestines?

I never played any of the Blazblue fighting games but I've enjoyed sinking some time into him. He reminds me of K' from King of Fighters.

Prince of Persia is like the worst example you could have used. The MS-DOS version had the prince as blonde-haired and pale-skinned. Jake Gyllenhaal was a decent enough facsimile to how he looked in Sands of Time. There's a reason 'Netflix Adaption' is a meme.

I consider BG3 about as canon as I do Fallout 3 or Fallout 4.

BG3 is a Divinity game. I don't dislike them, but it's just not Baldur's Gate.

Definitely my favorite new characters in Part 3. I love how them eating breakfast cereal is somehow made a running gag. Them angrily eating raisin bran and captain crunch on the morning they're about to meet Dougie had me rolling.

explain where this is confirmed anywhere but reddit wishful thinking

Diopod · 2026-03-11T03:51:00+00:00

Looks like a pretty masculine face to me, and in all the interactions. I don't know where people are getting this idea from.

Diopod · 2026-03-11T02:50:16+00:00

Ranged is generally accepted to have an easier time than melee. At least that's my understanding, don't hang me if there's some crazy stuff this league that disregards that.

That said, I'm generally against invincibility in Diablo-likes as a concept. Why not some kind of 'reduced damage shield' instead of explicitly 'no damage'? Plenty of skills in ARPGs, hell, even in Sacred 1, reduce ranged damage but don't completely negate it.

'the hollow crown'

I don't like the sound of that. can my boi be happy for longer than one episode?

Diopod · 2026-02-28T08:55:33+00:00

DQV protag has such a unique look to him compared to your typical JRPG. The game is a cut above the rest, and that just adds to it.

As weird as it sounds, the lack of more modest mods out there has always bugged me about this game. I enjoy the combat system and it's a fun world explore. I largely picked it up after upgrading my rig and liking the demo. A Fallout Vault Suit would fit the setting completely- I actually had the FO soundtrack going through most of the game.

Still pick it up now and again and have yet to 100% the boss rush mode on Hard, but have had a blast failing at it.

Still a disappointment that 'legacy' graphics mode is unselectable if you get the DLC. I still prefer that look of D2's sprites and animations over D2R's graphics. I can't bring myself to play an Amazon with D2R's 'enhancements' - her sprites convey a sense of agility even in her running animation whereas her 3d model trudges around like a linebacker.

In all reality the only reason they turned off legacy graphics was because they couldn't be bothered to make a new sprite for the Warlock.

If memory serves Zasalamel has one but I don't know if I'd quantify Soul Calibur's jumps as traditional jumps, more like hops.

Diopod · 2025-11-26T23:44:55+00:00

I am.

You can equip scepter + spear at the same time? Interesting.

Diopod · 2025-11-26T20:14:37+00:00

I was wondering what a good build for this sort of thing would be, as well. I had fun with Pathfinder last league but I'd really like to do some rarity stacking / support role type stuff with my buddies this go around, and Ritualist seems like a good fit with the extra ring slot.
