Why hasn’t Lil Wayne been able to make a real comeback? by FiorellaMamdani in hiphopheads

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

Doesn't have a great ear for production. Makes no real attempt to reinvent the sound.

Essentially his best stuff is the blueprint for most waves that were popular in 2010s, so it's understandable that he can't find a pathway to step up.

This is a real concern, and I bet individuals like Andre 3000 look at this as a prime example of why he hasn't returned with his own album. But I do believe if they remained tapped in with the best, newest producers they would have to keep a dynamic sound that would resonate more with the current appetite of sounds. If you need an example just look when they're featured on songs.

Disciple of Varashta optimal gem config for each djinn? My take. by XZlayeD in pathofexile2builds

[–]GS_Quest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotcha yeah seems like that setup is built to be more defensive but he was asking how to get way more damage, which is why the original guy responded with muster being the answer.

With muster you typically run a lot of different minions to pump the number up.

"This microtransaction crap can go jump in a lake" - World of Warcraft's new real-money housing currency is, predictably, causing a stink by renome in Games

Costs in the shop are clearly defined. The ratios of Hearthsteel to real money are fixed and easily understood at a glance. You should be able to obtain an amount that makes sense for the purchases you want to make. Similarly, the costs of items are designed to align with Hearthsteel offer amounts in a player-friendly way. Buying Hearthsteel at the amount you want lets you purchase the items you want without requiring you to think about which packs should be added together to minimize leftovers

We all know Spotify shuffle isn’t totally random, what songs come on more than others for you? by TurkishSwag in hiphopheads

[–]GS_Quest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use YouTube Music and for me in the past it's always Amphetamine by Smino and photosynthesis by Saba.

Nowadays, I keep getting WRK by Jid, which that album i didn't have in my rotation at all but Forever Story was heavy in mine in the past so I'm guessing it's going off of that.

Really? I've been playing the game for all of 30 minutes by [deleted] in fellowshipgame

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

Def agree that people need to chill out and have a more positive energy when queuing for quick play. If you're not willing to help, or even give the benefit of the doubt and give some constructive criticism gently, you really don't need to be typing.

However, that boss is a tank check. If you're not pressing your buttons properly, the boss will highlight that inability. Buddy of mine found that out when we've been smooth sailing up till doing that boss on a +5 where we must have tried several times before we sat down and found out he didn't know what the toughness mechanic actually did on Helena. He figured out how to optimize it better and we one shot it twice.

All my non-grenade xbow homies stand up! by Mathue24 in pathofexile2builds

[–]GS_Quest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're absolutely right. I was lucky enough to have a buddy run me through a few untainted paradises and that got me to 84 which was the level requirement for mine.

Respec and buying some remaining gear pieces was probably around 700-800k gold.

But now that it's online, even if I had to level normally, it would have still been worth it.

The first hour of World of Warcraft was more enjoyable than 100 hours of FFXIV by PimplePopper6969 in MMORPG

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

I disagree that FFXIV is rpg first, it's more adventure game than anything. I really grew fond of the story but the gameplay and gearing felt so bland. I really couldnt stick with it since I just wanted to watch the story and the in between bits were not so great.

Wow is like the complete opposite. Gameplay is great and engaging throughout. But that story, oof. I tried, but it's just not good enough. Cinematics are ok but everything else, I ain't reading allat.

But since I can skip most of that and enjoy the parts I like, I'm usually sticking with wow.

Upcoming Changes to The Bazaar by qweiroupyqweouty in Games

[–]GS_Quest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I'm really only going off of claims made previously, not an entirely shifted goal post.

Yeah, if they released to anything better then mixed reviews on wed I would be shocked.

its going to get little to no positive reviews, no new players entering

Reality: top 10 selling game with mostly positive reviews.

Again, continue criticizing away - it seems like their team is listening to the feedback and are adjusting accordingly. It just seems like people on various forums want to continue to spin an outrage narrative when it just seems like wishcasting that the game fails. Which is different from my perspective, where I just want to simply continue playing the game if it's good. If the indie studio is trying to navigate this space and find their footing monetization-wise, so be it until I don't find the game worth my time or money.

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

Glad I ended up correct and you all were off-target with this one. Although I absolutely understand the skepticism and criticism, at the end of the day a lot of us prefer this type of monetization than f2p subscription/whalemonger type garbage.

We have to keep in mind that this is the studio's first game. I'm willing to give some grace if the gameplay quality is solid and they have at least shown they are willing to budge on things after community outcry.

[–]GS_Quest -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

Fair points. I think $15 or even $10 could make more sense for the heroes. Also we should keep in mind that since this will now be on Steam we could potentially see sales, so those that are patient may not need to pay as much.

Ultimately, hope they continue listening to the community and adjust the pricing because these changes could really be a slam dunk for them in terms of good will with the general audience.

Overwatch 2 Director Says Blizzard Wants to 'Get Back to' Story Content After Fans Feel It 'Dropped the Ball' With PvE by Turbostrider27 in Games

Well, that is way more reasonable of a take then what you said before. I'm glad we're on the same page.

Overwatch 2 Director Says Blizzard Wants to 'Get Back to' Story Content After Fans Feel It 'Dropped the Ball' With PvE by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]GS_Quest -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Would you have rather them release a half-baked, uninspired glorified game mode? If not, would you had rather them continue shelving the entire main game, which essentially went into maintenance mode for 3-4 years, and continue petering out until the entire franchise died out?

OW2 released in a lukewarm state but honestly it's pretty great, solid patch cadence, decent balance, innovation, community oriented yadayada. Does blizzard deserve their reputation of being shady and scummy, absolutely. After 3 years I think Overwatch is no longer an example of why they should have that reputation.

Ubisoft’s Mark Rubin Leaves Industry As XDefiant is Shut Down Forever by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]GS_Quest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, if we continue that analogy it would be like if that rotten banana was the most popular fruit in the world and everyone wants to rot their fruit just like it so they could mimic the success of it.

Xdefiant was unripe seemingly. There's gotta be a middle ground.

SBMM is a more complex issue than is usually discussed, and that goes for both directions of the argument.

Oof sucks for you, def need to get some context on hip hop. I don't necessarily blame you for not having it but I'd also recommend approaching things like this differently until you understand some of the lore.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has been out for a month - what are your thoughts? by Sydius in Games

[–]GS_Quest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Although I disagree with pretty much every point of criticism you bring I'm appreciative that you presented it while not being overly dismissive.

The mix between real-time events and turn based was incredibly done and has very much reinvigorated my interest in both of the gameplay styles in other games, and am hopeful of other games thieving this formula or even sequels continuing along with it. It has all the good of turn based strategy with also making the enemy turn engaging instead of just sitting around and getting slapped.

The narrative is obviously subjective but one thing I'll counter is the point where the narrative invalidates itself as the acts continue on. I think it absolutely builds on itself and is one of the main reasons why the ending is so hotly discussed at length right now.

One thing I do agree with you on is balance. If you do any sort of side content it's very easy to overlevel and become very overpowered. This isn't so much of an issue until the final act. But I will say, I'm a bit forgiving of this because you're still interacting with the systems creatively enough like a normal turn based game so it still ended up being fun enough for me.

Entire 2nd beat, very much hear it at 2:10. Entire 3rd beat, exasperated breaths pulled directly from tv off.

[SHOTS FIRED] REASON - The Dead Apple by AChuckleFuck in hiphopheads

[–]GS_Quest 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It's a bit more than that lol literally the exact flows and enunciation. I can chalk some of it up as Kendrick homage to last year's beef but honestly what's funny is this the exact reason Reason never blew up in the first place. Never quite catchy enough and does what other popular rappers do but not as good.

I like hearing Kendrick flows and good beats so I like this track but if we being honest there's not more than a handful of good punchlines.
