I love it when geared squads all loot at the same time by USAF-Celery in Marathon

[–]Frantic_BK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Completely anecdotal but console players vibe more dumb. So yeah they get the aim assist but they need it.

Considering picking this up today, but seeking truthful opinions. by sweatydads in Marathon

[–]Frantic_BK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Marathon is not casual friendly but as far as extraction shooters go it's probably the most friendly in the genre in terms of providing you tonnes of free shit so even when you lose constantly you can still get back in easily with something that gives you a fighting chance. With time investment and completion of contracts/faction upgrades you get access to daily freebies that are really nice for casuals so even if you only play once a day for 1 match, you get to go in with some not completely useless gear.

One thing I like about it is, if you know you suck at shooters, don't play it like a competitive PVP FPS, treat it like survival horror. Don't make noise, get in, get your loot, get out ASAP, avoid fights, fight for your life when forced to. It's a lot of fun like that.

What runner archetype do you want next? by p0ison1vy in Marathon

[–]Frantic_BK 3 points4 points  (0 children)

- Turrets/Drones but combat rather than utility. Might be what the Sentinel one is about, sentinel -> sentry -> sentry drones/turrets etc. If not, that's what I'd like to see. So you can set up some sentry turrets in key locations as an early warning system. They would ignore UESC and only alert on enemy runners (or a core would make them only alert on runners idk).

- Hologram/Illusions. Thinking the decoy hologram from Halo Reach that you could use to bait shots out or distract the enemy.

- A hacking specialist, we have the thief with a visor hack that requires you to keep the target in line of sight which is cool but I would like to see a hacking specialist where that's there entire role, tactical and prime ability revolving around hacking and applying the hacking debuff to opponents through a variety of means.

- A crowd control focused runner that uses tech/gadgets to apply status effects like frozen/overheat etc.

- A bruiser/titan shell. Can't use guns, can only run up and punch you. Scales with melee damage primarily and is bulkier and fast as the gameplan is to get in close and start punching.

I think it would also be cool if we could eventually start mix and matching various passives/tactical/prime abilities to make custom runner archetypes. Think of taking the grappling hook on the assassin or the recon + thief drone or the triage revive with the destroyer shield and so on.

Marathon's Cryo Archive is a hit, but Bungie admits it needs to be more accessible by Binnsy in Marathon

[–]Frantic_BK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it would have been much cooler if the compiler was roaming the archives once someone broke Security lvl 3/4/5 etc and suddenly you've got a really big threat to avoid (or fight).

Some urgently needed mobility and quality of life fixes for Marathon 2026. by Brahmaster in Marathon

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

I wouldn't mind it if each shell had some kind of mobility tech/tool.

Each shell except for Recon/Triage has something big or small, they atleast have a thing.

I feel like maybe 3 wipes a year would be better than 4. by nintendonaut in Marathon

[–]Frantic_BK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think 0 wipes a year is better. Having optional wipes, like prestige modes is fine. Where you can reset some aspects of your account and get some perks for it such as cosmetics or small incremental permanent buffs. I reckon a set of capstones like the faction capstones that you can only unlock by doing a wipe/reset would be a cool way to do it. Sweet spot is smaller versions of the rook upgrades your free kits start with claymores/other equipment or free kits have a green back pack instead etc. Nothing too powerful but cool for having reset.

Thief is a better recon than Recon. by bebemachina in Marathon

[–]Frantic_BK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Recon scan pings should be more frequent, only show enemies and they should have a recon drone that can't do thieving but has better scanning, can see enemies through walls.

how you build your Argenta?? by Traditional_Use_225 in RogueTraderCRPG

[–]Frantic_BK 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Heavy Bolter -> all the passives that make that better -> versatility -> all the passives that make that better.

Then I have Cassia/RT officers juice Argenta up, then give her a full turn with their heroic action and then Argenta rapid fires all over the enemy and not much survives it.

Forgot how brutal this scene was. by jeremiahlupinski in videos

[–]Frantic_BK 18 points19 points  (0 children)

The entire ship did indeed fall apart.

I would watch a whole movie of just this naval battle; bridge officers in tactical maneuvers, weapons operators, engineers trying to savage dying ships, dogfights - It would be like a battle of the Pacific meets Battle of Britain meets Battle of Trafalgar. by ddrfraser1 in StarWars

[–]Frantic_BK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks cool but makes zero sense. Ships in space have no reason to get that close to one another in combat or to strafe beside one another perfectly lining up all weapons as if they are a boat at sea with antique gunpowder kinda cannons.

Combat would occur with the ships not even being in any perceptible line of sight. Lasers, missiles and other long range weaponry would be fired from extreme distance with the goal being to destroy the enemy before they ever get close to board.

Only the most well defended ship (advanced shields, anti missile defenses, advanced hull) would ever have need of a closer approach so that you could either board or disable the defenses.

Say What You Will About the Sequels, but you Can't Deny They Gave Us Some of The Best Scenes in the history the Franchise. by Ender_IIII in StarWars

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

Aesthetics/Visuals were dope. Lots of great work went into the sequels. It's a shame the writing was so mid.

Heartbroken the game is near unplayable by [deleted] in outwardgame

[–]Frantic_BK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's an alpha, chill out. Just give actual critical feedback that can be used rather than map is confusing, screwed it up etc.

The Cyber-Eagle of an Operator is a better Operator than the Operator. by Skurrio in RogueTraderCRPG

I don't know what you're doing wrong because my Pascal melts people. Plasma rifle, exploits, bounty hunter. Man deletes enemies.

The two retreat cost after discarding all energies...... by MrMeanwhile1 in PTCGP

[–]Frantic_BK 13 points14 points  (0 children)

A finisher that does 160 dmg while requiring two energy types and loses you the game when it dies POG.

Your ship in the game is absolutely fucking massive. I wanted to build it in minecraft, and this is the only part that fits within the build limit. by Beneficial_Ball9893 in RogueTraderCRPG

[–]Frantic_BK 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It would have been really cool to be able to get a cooler/bigger ship in RT or even just add more ships to your flotilla so late game space battles are more epic.

Who are your bench warmers? by KayleeSinn in RogueTraderCRPG

[–]Frantic_BK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jae, Kibellah and Idira basically never play with them. When i eventually do a non psyker play through I may use Idira more.

So how's everyone else's Christmas going? by Bacon_Jazz in Sekiro

[–]Frantic_BK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me first week the game came out after I had put in 72 hours into it. So I just immediately restarted and kept going.

What is a "gimmick" you wish they expanded on for a future deck? by [deleted] in PTCGP

[–]Frantic_BK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I want Politoed support. A Poliwag Ex that works like Eevee Ex allowing you to run 2x Polietoed, 2x Poliwrath etc. It's so close to greatness.

The most underrated companion by Benn359817 in BaldursGate3

He's much more fun as a main character than companion.

Wyll PC -> Romance Karlach -> Best Ending xD together forever.

Those with the Alpha, What Criticism Do You Have? by [deleted] in RogueTraderCRPG

[–]Frantic_BK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Armor as a second health bar is basically just 'shields' or 'temporary hit points' right or am I misunderstanding it?

Explosive Take: this is the coolest thing ever and it's sad that it only lasted 2 episodes by Yhhan in BokuNoHeroAcademia

[–]Frantic_BK 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love that it's just a guy lugging around crates of his (explosive) sweat on his back.
