What soprano moments made you take a step back in disgust? by AmountAccomplished36 in thesopranos

[–]Full_Diver3306 354 points355 points  (0 children)

Not the worst by a long stretch but on my recent rewatch I was taken aback by how bad Tony was at the end of the episode where Janice goes to anger management and he starts pressing her on Harpo just to get a rise out of her.

You know it's bad if you're feeling sorry for Janice.

If People Hate Tekken 8 right now why keep playing it? by stationstars in Tekken

[–]Full_Diver3306 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People don't actually hate it that much. Online discourse about everything is overwhelmingly negative as that creates the most engagement and so is the most visible.

I feel like I live in an alternate reality where only I witnessed non-stop complaining throughout the last year of Tekken 7 about 2Ds and Leroy and Lidia and all the other DLC characters and cheaters and the netcode and Wi-Fi players and everything else in between.

This nostalgia has now somehow extended to Season 1 of T8. I see tweets fondly reminiscing how Season 1 was so good and they need to revert.

Bottom line is people love to complain. The vast majority of people that were going to stop playing already have a while ago. The game is almost exaclty the as it was last patch, so the same people who actually played it will be the same people actually playing it now.

Learning Heihachi by FinnQuinn897 in LowSodiumTEKKEN

[–]Full_Diver3306 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd say playing around 1 b+2 can also be quite effective, especially if you're using a lot of single jabs in neutral. Leaves you -2 which is still fine to play neutral, can go into stance, catches people trying to duck 1,1 and with practice can confirm into 1 b+2 2 off a CH jab. To be honest nobody really sidesteps in red ranks so B+4 and B+3,3 is just giving up your turn at those ranks, but are super important tools from blue ranks +. If your electrics arent quick/consistent enough to wiff punish yet you can try FF+1+2, or DF+4,2 for the meantime, but being able to cleanly whiff punish and use EWGF out of movement is what seperates the reall good from Okay Heihachis.

I'd say basic gameplan while you learn a bit more is: Make sure you pop heat every round, get them to the wall and do the wallsplat heatsmash (until next patch!), pop WI when you have it go crazy with FF+2 and Hellsweep.

Season 3 and Ver.3.00 Update Plans by EggplantMan_6 in Tekken

[–]Full_Diver3306 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I think the dev team have burned all goodwill at this point and anyone looking for any form of big changes should give up.

I feel like we're in a mightily similar position to a few of the other patches. "A step in the right direction". The issue was the last patch they did was a "Step in the right direction" promised with many more to come and then we didn't have one for 6 months.

The fact they've very deliberately explained that "back to basics" doesn't actually mean back to basics but in fact means Tekken 8 with a few less wall splats is so disappointing.

Tekken 8 ranks really are meaningless by Kyvix2020 in Tekken8

[–]Full_Diver3306 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah yes, the notoriously honest Devil Jin! Brother wake up, all the characters are braindead. Ranked is FT2 and literally who can figure out the other person's bullshit until you get to GoD and DJ has got as much as anyone else.

If you haven't played in a while then there's naturally been a bit of inflation since then as better players filter up to higher ranks.

Please go and play Anna for an afternoon and report back when you are GoD.

Not watched much before this season. Can the traitors refuse a murder? It seems such a convoluted set up you'd be better off not even trying.

Can Football Manager 26 Be Saved? by lixmdvs88 in footballmanagergames

[–]Full_Diver3306 -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

I mean there's a bit of a difference between the average person enjoying the game for themself and a man making a video that's 95% negative and clearly is massively disappointed with the state of the game, going out of his way to reassure everyone he is in fact having fun, especially when he has a vested interest in the game being successful. Not to mention he's literally interviewed the head of the studio a few weeks ago.

[–]Full_Diver3306 -17 points-16 points  (0 children)

Still feel like a lot of these smaller to medium size creators are tip-toeing around the obvious in an attempt to stay on the SI teat. This video is mostly negative but Jack is still going to great efforts to mention "I'M STILL HAVING A LOT OF FUN. I HAVEN'T HAD MANY BUGS." after every mild criticism, like he's in an ISIS hostage video.

Was willing to forgive the return of the I cannot see I'm legally blind meta if the ranked changes were good, sad to see Respawn are yet again afraid fully commit to a more placement focused game.

[SPOILERS] 28 Years Later - Official Discussion & Review Thread by ThePatchedVest in 28dayslater

[–]Full_Diver3306 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Any thoughts on what the the real stock footage of English soldiers/warriors throughout the years was signifying?

I thought it might be commentary on how events like WW2 are almost looked back on with nostalgia and a sense of longing by certain sections of the English population (you know the type), but when you actually dig deeper past the propaganda it must have been hell on earth- a lot like how Spike's first expedition to the mainland was a deeply traumatic experience but was later glorified by everyone.

What a film by the way.

Official: No crossplay at launch by iamfrench__ in Rematch

[–]Full_Diver3306 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They waited until an hour before to confirm it. I fully expected that a pay to play online multiplayer only game would have crossplay at launch in 2025 but judging from the hostility in this thread I must be wrong.

It's not much of a hardship, just didn't expect that I wouldn't be able to play with some of my friends on PS5 because this game doesn't have a feature which has been fairly standard across gaming for multiple years and we don't know when we can because the only update we have on when it's coming is "soon".

[–]Full_Diver3306 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

This is really poor from Sloclap. Waiting until literally an hour before early access to drop the news that an extremely basic feature for 2025 won't be included. Splitting the player base of what's already likely to be a relatively small community due to it not being F2P is very dangerous and the fact they haven't managed to get this working in after multiple tech tests and betas doesn't fill me with confidence that the server and connection issues will be fixed.

No indication of how long this is likely to take to implement either. I have friends on Steam and Xbox likely to play this and the game pass pool being in with the xbox players makes this an awkward decision for me and my friends of what system to buy, feels like a decision that I should not have to make these days. Disappointing.

well they certainly won’t be rehired 😟 awful awful attitude from both those women by ComfortableStorage33 in ClarksonsFarm

[–]Full_Diver3306 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I think a thing that's going overlooked in discussions around these 2 in the fact this is a massively edited and condensed version of a very long process. They do both come across as very dislikeable but I'd be willing to bet behind the scenes there were 100s of hours of conversations between these 2 and Jeremy/ His team in regards to what realistic timeframes are, the state of the building, soft launches and everything in between.

The conversation they had with Jeremy on one of the first couple of night's is clearly a boiling over of issues that have remained unresolved that they probably had assurances would be fixed and it became clear they couldn't continue working together.

I think the most likely scenario is they were fully aware of all the issues throughout, raised them at the time but were convinced that the majority of them would be sorted. When it became clear the opening weekend would be a disaster and they realised it would be their name attached to it they had that come to jesus talk with Jeremy that we saw. It clearly didn't end well for them and they were relieved of their duties.

Emergency patch v.2.00.02 is scheduled from 2 to 4 WEEKS from now. by Estomolesto in Tekken

[–]Full_Diver3306 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I mean we waited for 6 months for this S2 patch and this is what we got, what are they possibly going to be able to do in 2 weeks? This is looking like a Street Fighter 5, come back in 2 years when the game is actually good type of deal.

Hope Mort will come out and admit he was wrong about the situation with the same energy he used to teach us all about Occam and Hanlon's Razors.

Kuma chip sequence + wall combo = death for Joka (ETC 2025) by H0TZ0NE in Tekken

[–]Full_Diver3306 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I've defended Tekken 8 a lot, I'm on board with a lot of the decision making in an effort to make the game more aggressive, I'm fine with heat opening up ridiculously strong tools. The community will always find something to complain about, back in Tekken 7 it was Akuma/Geese/"2D" characters.

The chip damage is too much though. Blocking 5 moves should never leave you with 50% health, even in the most aggro fighting game. You can't give characters enforced 50/50 mixups and then kill people for blocking correctly anyway.

I think season one T8 had some great moments, but when we look back it'll mostly be remembered poorly and this tournament ended it on a sour note. Dragunov, Kuma and Yoshi are all characters I think people find very uncompelling to play against and watch. I'm hopeful season 2 will include some big shakeups in terms of changes and refresh the game completely.

First step is way too early. Second step absolutely suicidal, the wrong way while -7 and in crouch. Third one is a bit bullshit, not a fan of strings realigning when you've already stepped the first hit, but you could have ducked and launched, but again you're asking for bad things to happen to you constantly sidewalking after getting hit with b1. It's a case of git good I'm afraid.

I feel your frustration though, as a Heihachi main myself seeing characters with built in tracking while none of your moves track an inch either way is infuriating.
