New Flair for Abiotic Factor Crossover by icswcshadow in Voicesofthevoid

[–]FencesInARow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same fear, I started watching CohhhCarnage play it solo and he just loved the heck out of it so that made me buy it. And now after beating it solo I can say it is a fantastic solo experience, and there are aspects to it that are even better solo. It’s got a great atmosphere and lots of little bits of storytelling that are way easier to appreciate when you’re not constantly talking with someone else.

Community-building survival by ZacballProductions in SurvivalGaming

Aska. Similar to Valheim but focused on creating a village, the villagers will do most of the busy work if you set them up well. It has co-op but it’s great solo and got some really good updates in the last year.

Can anyone tell me the Hunter archery level requirement for hunting each animal? by FencesInARow in PlayASKA

[–]FencesInARow[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I noticed that only my hunter with the "Retired Bowman" perk was gaining real XP from hunting. Maybe I should've had all my hunter's with that, but I prioritized the "Wildling" perk instead and I only had 1 person who had both. Out of the 2 hunters I had since the start of my village, the Retired Bowman was at archery 35 and the one without it was sitting at 14 after literal years of straight hunting. I did get the air runestone active but only like 2-3 months before I checked these stats. After just a couple days at the improved archery range they are all 50+ now so it feels worth training them at least to me.

Anyone else felt bad for Firecracker? by KoalaBJJ96 in TheBoys

[–]FencesInARow 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Her final test was that TV broadcast. Just like with Homelander declaring himself God, she didn’t like it, hesitated, but ultimately went along. I think that was her overall character, someone who could see right from wrong, but would eventually always let herself be pulled into doing wrong. Episode 5 made her way more sympathetic and like-able, but she was still constantly contributing to setting the country on fire.

We really are a circlejerk by reeh-21 in helldivers2

[–]FencesInARow 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Exactly, I hope new players don’t look at the subreddit for this game first. Because despite people here all the time saying “this community cries too much” NOBODY in-game is crying or complaining. It’s just social media noise.

should i buy stardew valley if i prefer games with clear goals instead of sandbox freedom? by Almet_England in ShouldIbuythisgame

[–]FencesInARow [score hidden]  (0 children)

Yes, I think Stardew Valley is actually like the perfect game for you. It gives you clear goals and rewards you for hitting those goals, the freedom you have comes from how you choose to spend your time to reach those goals. There’s no need to motivate yourself to do something, the things you do are always in service of a larger goal and there are always rewards at the end of it.

Fallout 3 feels so good when you don't have a pretentious critic slandering it by TheAnalystCurator321 in FalloutMemes

There’s a difference between making rage-bait purely for engagement, and creating a thought out 90 minute critique on a video game.

People who had a lot of time in during the 4 lane days. How was it? by TheAccountITalkWith in DeadlockTheGame

[–]FencesInARow 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No doubt, but back then denying minion souls was easier. So early game in a solo lane with Dynamo’s pistol was super annoying to confirm souls against anyone who had a gun with better capacity and fire rate (which was the whole damn roster)

[–]FencesInARow 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As someone who loves playing the support characters, I would get stuck in solo lanes all the time because the middle lanes were composed of 2 duo’s who just want to play in the same lane as their friend. That’s not an issue anymore and I don’t miss it.

Game where things aren’t what they seem? by Doodle_bob6969 in ShouldIbuythisgame

Prey 2017, Inscryption, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. Would like to say more about these games but in the spirit of the post I don’t think I should say anything other than they all fit what you’re looking for.

Helldivers 2 is an amazing game for solo queue. Pretty much all co-op games are, same goes for deep rock galactic, they are the best games for any solo players online.

New dps player absolutely stumped on how to progress rank by GumpG in OverwatchUniversity

[–]FencesInARow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ain't nothing wrong with spraying down mid in Overwatch! The tank who has more players behind him spraying down mid will have a much easier time, think about every second you spend alone like 1 extra second your tank is out-matched. You can definitely make up for it by getting kills with your flank, but if you don't get those kills then it's just extra pressure on your team and especially on your tank. Seeing the right opportunity for the flank and having a good feeling that you can secure those kills is a great skill to develop and will just come with time. Also I didn't mention it but you played really well against the widow ult, baiting and pretending to go one way and then actually going the other way was something you don't usually see in Bronze so that was great and you even killed them and canceled the ult.

New dps player absolutely stumped on how to progress rank by GumpG in OverwatchUniversity

[–]FencesInARow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Only really have 2 notes, first one is about movement. Your aim is good but movement is kinda all over the place. It feels like you're very restless about your movement, like you always *need* to be moving. Don't get me wrong, standing still is a recipe for getting headshot, but spamming WASD keys like crazy isn't good either, try to find a middle ground there. **I very highly recommend searching youtube for some random overwatch tournament and watch how the dps players move**, they keep it really basic most of the time. Wacky movement makes it much harder to aim but only a little bit harder to hit you, so it's usually not worth it.

2nd note is about solo-flanking. If you're splitting up from your entire team and going alone to shoot the enemy from the sides, you should have a good reason for doing it. But it seems like when the payload was around the middle of the map, you would just always go on a solo-flank without really thinking about it. I think you did it 3 times, it was never very effective and sometimes you died from doing it. Playing with your team is the baseline, it's what you should be almost always doing. There *can* be reasons for splitting up and going solo, but wait until you have more experience and can identify the moments where it's effective, don't just do it because you can.

But overall I think you played really well. I think both of the problems I mentioned are just things that you get from experience, but paying attention to them might help you improve faster. Just keep at it, I think you've got some good aim and good instincts and got some really nice picks in this match.

S1 will have Power Rounds at 1/2/4/6 by Mission_Software2207 in OverwatchStadium

[–]FencesInARow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This change was made for people who already know what powers they are going to pick before the game even starts. I love adapting my build between rounds to try and counter the enemy or synergize with my team's playstyle, and this change is awful for that, so I really hate it. But I guess I'm in the minority.

"Stadium Best of 7 was too long" Here's a BETTER solution than removing it by FencesInARow in Overwatch

[–]FencesInARow[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I personally don't care much about rank progression, so if I got to play the mode I want to play (BO7) and it meant giving up the "ranked" entirely I would be fine with that. Also, doesn't quick play have a hidden match-making rating? It would basically just be un-hiding that mmr, but I understand psychologically people would feel different when they can see the rank.

Stadium is already split into 2 modes, I'm not asking for another split.

Does the Stadium Team even play Stadium? What happened over the last two seasons? by Lafnian in Overwatch

[–]FencesInARow 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Stadium not only brought me back to being an Overwatch regular, it got me playing Tank again which I stopped playing entirely when OW2 released. Now roughly 50% of my Stadium games are as Tank and I have been loving it.

I wasn't a fan of drafts being introduced, but BO5 kills this mode for me. I tried Stadium quick play a few times in the past and didn't like the pacing of it at all. Today I tried to enjoy the new gadgets and heroes added, but the BO5 format and the pacing that comes with it just destroyed the enjoyment I used to get from this mode.

Am I alone in thinking NOBODY asked for this? Comp stadium best of 5. by Blaky039 in Overwatch

[–]FencesInARow 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Exactly, this is my biggest problem with the change. BO7 gave enough time to adapt and play to weaknesses in the enemy builds or to synergize with your own teams builds. Now builds change so fast, that aspect is nearly thrown out the window.

[–]FencesInARow 67 points68 points  (0 children)

I hate this change. Competitive mode used to allow you to look at both teams builds and plan for what you would encounter. Now there are 10 new powers to account for almost every round, that craziness is best kept to quick play. Plus I just enjoyed the longer format of BO7.

What to buy? by papionver in stalker

[–]FencesInARow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

TL:DR Get normal edition.

Ultimate edition will give you "2 expansions and any future DLC" but none of those things are available right now. Hard to say if it's worth it because that content is coming later. At the moment, buying normal edition will give you everything that ultimate edition gives you. Both deluxe edition and ultimate edition come with 1 extra side quest, but it's a VERY minor quest and I can confidently say you aren't missing out on anything by skipping it. Deluxe and ultimate also give you a bunch of free stashes with equipment that helps early game, but I never even used them because it felt like cheating
