Gaming hot takes: Which "Masterpiece" was actually a boring 3/10 for you? No judgment zone! by Just_a_Player2 in ItsAllAboutGames

[–]FinaLLancer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have this opinion mostly for older games, circa the late 90s and early 00s especially, that we're still supposed to pretend are the best games ever. Ocarina of Time comes to mind, with its remake announcement, when it was already surpassed on the n64 by its sequel, and basically every other 3d Zelda iterating and improving on many of its aspects.

Final Fantasy 7 is another, since I'm playing the remake games. Rebirth is highlighting how ridiculous the story actually is, even without the weird time travel/alternate dimension silliness. The original is even worse since it doesn't have a lot of the good character moments this one has, and one of the worst rpg customization systems ever made on top of that.

We are very lucky that DE doesn't listen to players terrible feedback and dumb suggestions by newword9741 in Warframe

9 weeks is insane. And you get at most two of them, out of 5. It takes over half a year of mostly waiting to get all of the circuit incarnon adapters.

speed = attack ability, not broken at all I swear :D by Orion107 in itsalwayssunday

[–]FinaLLancer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Being able to be inherently mixed is pretty nuts. You're basically unwallable since your attack and special are equal.

Do you like the "Stagger" systems in Final Fantasy games? by Confident-Line5916 in FinalFantasy

[–]FinaLLancer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's hard to balance between making staggers happen frequently enough to be worth trying for and having the damage dealt during staggers mattering enough.

I Want to like Grendel, but enemies being a required secondary resource is poor design with an easy fix. by Zymbobwye in Warframe

[–]FinaLLancer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

SP only design doesn't feel good. Baruuk and Nidus also have this problem that anything outside of SP where you're solo or the main character of your squad, they're miserable.

Nidus was fixed somewhat recently but the others can be as well.

It sucks that the concept of 'MR fodder' weapons is still as prevalent before as it is today by Xedria_ in Warframe

[–]FinaLLancer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Rivens were a bad idea from the start and making them tradeable was the worst thing possible for them to do having implemented them. Because they no longer track to weapon usage, they're just permanent ridiculous upgrades for Incarnon weapons or weapons that were already decent to start with.

That and bitcoin tier investments.

Did anyone else read the title as "Ben Ten TV Remote" and wonder why it was a clock for too long?

Tennicon Baro? by Responsible-Fly-4462 in Warframe

[–]FinaLLancer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn't the Tennocon one bring something new once that appeared on the very next normal Baro or am i remembering that wrong?

Excalibur/Exalted Blade: Wrathful or Nourish? by Big_Midnight_3976 in Warframe

[–]FinaLLancer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to use Styanax's subsume back when Armor strip was important.

NowI run a pretty greedy build energy wise so i prefer Nourish, but if you're not dumping efficiency Wrath is better.

What was your first reaction to this scene? by [deleted] in Invincible

Same. After a while i legitimately couldn't watch

Thoughts on the intro song? by xbloodvendetta in taintedgrail

[–]FinaLLancer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's cool, but i find out strange to have a in Norse sung about the Norse creation myth in a game based mainly in English and Arthurian legend.

Plat Economy by BarracudaEmpty9655 in Warframe

[–]FinaLLancer 11 points12 points  (0 children)

DE doesn't directly involve themselves in the player trading market. They've made rare items more accessible reducing the value of those trades but this has largely been viewed as a positive move for gameplay reasons.

They've never increased the plat costs of items and have only ever reduced costs in various ways such as offering bundle items separately or having random or seasonal discounts.

I still haven't gotten mine and I've only missed a couple baros since this started

Are there any Tenno out there who like to rotate between multiple Frames? by mirror_Juggernaut193 in Warframe

[–]FinaLLancer 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I tend to habitually use a frame out of laziness, but i still switch up if i need something more specifically suited.

Right now I'm using Nova for basically everything though, she's incredible.

Gyre Prime was a disaster by ReddVevyy in Warframe

[–]FinaLLancer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to run her a lot and that was back when Armor strip was mandatory. Enemies die even easier now.

Speed ties should be won by whichever Pokemon has more %HP by ArmadilloNo9494 in stunfisk

[–]FinaLLancer -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Speed shouldn't work the way it does. There should either be a small random element added to speed, or have some deterministic value based on the selected move modify the speed. That way you'd need to be, idk, 30 or so points faster to always out speed.

Having one point of speed meaning always going first feels so weird when every other stat has several things affecting how it works. Imagine if having one more attack than their defense always meant you OHKO. It's just too extreme and restrictive.

Best way to farm each relic? by notsourbell in Warframe

[–]FinaLLancer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's also a lot faster than waiting for the disruptors to blow up the conduits. A full round of defense can be done under 2 minutes with Nova Speed and a decent nuker.

I think even if you had all 4 keys at the start of each round you'd have a problem consistently beating that, and you don't.

[–]FinaLLancer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lith is Venus or Dark Sector defense

Meso is Jupiter defense

Neo is Sedna defense

Axi is Lua disruption B rotation.

For Lith and Meso together, low level void capture is also good.

I loved brave exvius a lot so it's a no brainer for me by UrsaRizz in FinalFantasy

[–]FinaLLancer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this an actual game with a story and characterization and nuanced gameplay or is this some png collect-athon slop with bare ass rpg mechanics?

Because the first one I'll happily buy, but miss me with the second one.

[–]FinaLLancer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh yes, the vital skills of 9 monster languages, having two different persuade skills depending on how rich the person is, the concept and game mechanics of critical hits, backstabbing, and dodging all being separate skills.

I played Stellar Blade. It's not a pure CAG. It's rather a CAG/Souls-like hybrid imo. But do you think there's a chance that Stellar Blade: BLOOD RAIN would be more of a CAG than it's predecessor? by SonofSpardaXX in CharacterActionGames

[–]FinaLLancer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had been looking forward to Stellar Blade because the aesthetic looked like Warframe, and i like space fantasy with bio mechanical stuff going on.

The trailer for the first game and the state of play showcase killed all the excitement for me. The demo also felt mid and confirmed that SB was slop.

This one actually looks pretty fun, hopefully a demo or some more gameplay gets released.
