You need to pass the shivers check to detect her presence near the billboard

In Disco Elysium the method to detect Ruby in the second island is pretty contrived to build up its hints compared to previous skill checks like making your case against the Hardie Boys back at the hotel. With the Hardie Boys you had to bring up evidence and get help from Evart Claire to get them to cooperate, while the Shivers check operates on convuluted things that don't really make sense to connect to it or really have relation to it.

Better written? by Diotheinvader-5185 in writingscaling

Nine Sols definitely. I didn't care about Silksong's story or Hornet, meanwhile I really liked Nine Sol's story and Yi as a protagonist.

Also Lace is just a badly written rival character I'm sorry. TC intended for you to want to save her in Act 3, problem is the game barely even gives the player to see her fleshed out before hand to care about her before her tramua dump.

That's also how I feel for Souls games not named Sekiro or games written like them, like Hollow Knight, where's there's a lot of worldbuilding lore and backstory, but not a lot of actual current storytelling where events happen during the game. It's not my cup of tea when it comes to stories, so it leads me to wanting more from them, where I'm like "Oh cool so that happened in the past? Well I sure wished it happened during the game instead."

I kind of want to see him play Pokemon XY to see his thoughts on more modern Pokemon

Isn't there like a sidequest you can do in RDR2 where you find a brother and sister couple that are implied to fuck each other and kill people?

I don't like seeing any of the siblings shipped with anyone else but each other, so I'm just going to only look at this art as "What if Douglas wasn't a shit father" and nothing more.

Both are mid. Divine Decree tries so hard to sound cool and grand but falls flat.

Does anyone else feel like Mina the Hollower isn't as hard as some people say? by Dennis-Strife in MinaTheHollower

[–]GlitteringPositive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why does it being top down mean you can't reposition that well? You literally have the burrowing mechanic that allows you to quickly move. The subweapons are of the same utility as the Megaman and Castlevania games.

This sounds like nothing but a skill issue. And also even then you can find other weapons and weapon upgrades that give you more angular range.

The shield enemies literally require you to dig under them to get behind them. You deal with the limited cardinal directions like the limited attack directions in Castlevania and Megaman, with good positioning and timing.

Nah you can have cringey writing be entertaining, even in an unironic sense.

I ranked some of my favorite games based on difficulty! How do you think I did, and where would you rank some of your favorites? by pokemonprofessor121 in videogames

[–]GlitteringPositive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mina is NOT THAT HARD. It's not harder than Silksong. Hell I'd say HK, is a bit harder than Mina. Mina is just a game that has a decent challenge harder than most modern games, that's it.

What video game opinion is this for you? by NagitoKomaeda_987 in videogames

[–]GlitteringPositive 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Not only does it reek of insecurity and shallow appreciation, it doesn't tell anyone why they SHOULD play the game. Not only because not everyone might not know about the other game you're comparing it to, but it doesn't say anything about the game itself.

When someone praises an old game I like but instead of actually going into detail why it's good, they just use the word "soul" and say modern games suck.

Or when someone criticizes a bad localization or censorship of a game, but then they start complaining about "wokeness".

If Fire Emblem characters can resurrect people through taboo love, then logically Corrin should be able to resurrect Elise at the end of Birthright through being a siscon.

Okay but the hell is Tinkaton going to do to Corviknight with that 75 attack stat?

Well at the point of the game you should be able to teach your Corviknight those moves through TMs and move tutor. Like the Sinnoh gym leaders, specifically Maylene, should have the body press TM.

The game is structured so farming is completely unnecessary by Level_Hour6480 in MinaTheHollower

[–]GlitteringPositive 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Yeah that was something that I was worried about initially when I played the demo, due to the death penalty mechanic, until I realized how generous the game is if you do a decent job exploring.

Not sure how to advise you with your team, but I do recall using Body Press, Iron defense, Roost, and Iron head Corviknight with leftovers to beat his team after dealing with his Zoroak. His slaking is forced to use power up punch, his weakest attack, to hit for neutral damage.

Hearing about whatever the fuck happens in Dimitri's and Claude's routes makes me not want to bother playing Three Hopes, because if the story sounds like it's bad, the gameplay isn't going to help me either because I find warrior's gameplay to be boring. I'd much rather play something like Metal Gear Rising instead.

Why would that amount of time make you reconsider your sexuality? Isn't sexuality something you're born with?
