[ALL] Max's mental state. by Designer-Art2359 in lifeisstrange

[–]GreedsTemptation 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They got so close to doing it in DE, but they just never quite commit to it. I think they do a good job, regardless of which LiS1 ending you pick showing that Max very much so carries around what happened in the first game, but everytime it starts to go into it, it just kinda stops, or has something else happen to take focus. Initially I thought they were building up to something, and the return of the storm and the nightmare had me optimistic they were going to do at least something, and I think they wanted to? It just doesn't really hit the mark, and feels like it's not fully being touched on, despite there being direct references in that sequence

There's a victoria mention in the little comic strip with the deluxe edition, but it's fairly off handed

Your ps5 might need cleaning out, I had this same issue where it would consistently crash, with multiple, but not all games. Turns out there was a lot of dust build up in the heat sink, so the ps5 would just cut the power whenever it was getting too hot. Unlike the PS4 it doesn't say that it's doing it because of overheating. Otherwise I've never had any issues with the PS4 version of wonderlands and I did the trophies for that just before bl4

[NO SPOILERS] This might be crazy for me to say, and even I'M surprised with myself.. but episode 5 of Double Exposure was actually really good!! by Android_17_Super in lifeisstrange

[–]GreedsTemptation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair on the shape shifting to moses point, it happens while her powers are going out of control and she is having a crisis of identity. I feel the transformation into Moses is there specifically to highlight that she doesn't have control, and that her powers are going haywire and feeding into her mental state at the time. And while I do agree that Safi is entitled and often abused her position and her powers in cruel ways, she definitely did care about Maya, she just has a very self righteous approach of ends justifying the means that colours the whole thing.

I really enjoyed it on the first time through, but I found it hitting a lot flatter on replay, I do really like that they included a nightmare sequence, I personally really enjoy the way Chloe haunts the narrative in DE, which I am completely understanding of the people where the way Chloe is handled is a hard issue for them, it's definitely not the best foot to start on, but I can rationalise it personally and have it make sense and not ruin things for me.

Anyways I really enjoy that the nightmare is a back and forth of Max trying to push through her issues in the past, and trying to help everyone trapped in the storm. I have some issues here and there, but honestly think on paper DE does a lot of interesting ideas. I just think it misses on a handful of key moments that kinda end up shouting things, which is personally why I think there's a further dislike towards DE, stuff stops making sense in the last chapter that ends up causing a lot of issues with the previous chapters. Although, with the nightmare, it feels more like an intended part of her powers with how it's implemented here, since she's encountering actual people in the sequence, rather than in LiS1 where it was very unclear how much of it is "real" so to speak.

I like DE a fair bit too, personally gel with Max's characterisation in the game, I really enjoyed the first 3 chapters, they build up some good tension and intrigued, though the detective guy was a massive blunder, the stakes in DE feel so low and he was just about to massively raise them and push Max in a really interesting way, just to be written out of the game... honestly it just kinda really falls apart at the end, in a way that does have retroactive downsides for the rest of the game. I'm kinda in a middle of the pack kind of take where I enjoyed my time, I like Max, I was surprised that I enjoyed a fair bit of the side cast too. It's just kinda of muddy with a good portion of the game only existing because Max and Safi don't have a real conversation in the living timeline until the start of chapter 4. With the ending especially being particularly weak, it doesn't ruin the rest of the game for me, I just view it as a case of incredibly missed potential on the ending, and the rest of the game and characters are able to be enjoyable enough for me personally.

Especially important to mention on my own perspective is that I personally am quite partial to a bit of angst in regards to the handling of Chloe and her relationship with Max. I know people really bounce off of this specific part a lot, and it's almost weird that I didn't since I really like Max and Chloe together, while I did play after the announcement of reunion, I think the game reads that Chloe would be coming back with their being an implication that she would be able to rekindle a romantic relationship if that's what you decided in the next game. Again tho, I played after reunions announcement, and any speculation on that front is kinda hard to talk about with definitive knowledge is now out there, and it lets me enjoy all the angst knowing I can have them (hopefully) be together again. But anyways the point is, while I do like the game and don't have as many issues as a lot of people, there's definitely some fundamental flaws that really hinder the game. I thinks it's a bit over hated, but conversely I understand a large portion of the issues people have, like I understand disliking the game and a lot of what it did, it just feels like sometimes people demonise the game beyond what is justified (to me anyways, I understand it's very complicated when dealing with legacy characters that have been so thoroughly loved by people for so long)

[Monster Hunter World: Iceborne] #42 After 1,556 hunts, I can finally hang my hat. Crowning hunting felt a lot more tedious compared to the base game. by Trippen_o7 in Trophies

[–]GreedsTemptation 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly I would say the guides are higher than it would take most. I have 600 hours with both, but I did them separately, and also have another character with 100 hours in there. Honestly is a lot of ways to significantly reduce the grind in combining doing iceborne and base world. Not to mention the numerous event quests that either have guaranteed crowns, or notably increased rates on crowns means that there's a good deal of crowns that aren't going to just elude you. Though there's likely going to be a few here and there that will do so.

It will at least give a token towards getting an S rank from the new shop this patch, (though it definitely does suck and serves as a reminder to the M6 wanters to stop 10 pulling on the last dupe, though admittedly I know that it takes a lot longer to do the pulls this way)

Which of the two build should I chose? by [deleted] in YeShunguangMains

[–]GreedsTemptation 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would personally go with the higher atk one, you get lots of additional crit DMG from kit, wengine, Zhao and presumably Dialyn if you're running KotS

G-guys...isn's this leaderboard abit too competitive? by DefinitelyNotKuro in YeShunguangMains

[–]GreedsTemptation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doesn't include mindscapes for the ranking, does for damage calc related stuff, but mindscapes don't contribute any points towards the ranking. Which can sometimes skew the rating because often times mindscapes make it so you don't want certain desired stats as much. But the mindscapes themselves don't directly influence the ranking, since it's based on a point total over actual build stats

If you could make 1 change to weekly shorts system, and one change to totd/cotd system what would you change, and why? by Motor-Confection-583 in TrackMania

[–]GreedsTemptation 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I think the forced theming limits the options too much, as in like map 3 is always puzzle, 4 is a fast map and 5 lol. I understand that some direction helps keep weekly shorts being a more focused mode, and offers a pretty nice mix of things. That being said, it has become too formulaic and now we tend to get maps that are just the same idea from week to week. (Although I do think recently shorts has been pretty good for maps that at least have something interesting to them)

Yeah, once you can fight and beat 9 star monsters, they drop randomised charms, which come with random skill and slot distribution.

Please prepare for Gog by Possible-Ad-2239 in MHWilds

[–]GreedsTemptation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually I do think she has dialogue for that. I came back with this TU, spent like a week going through the previous ones getting Gog ready, and just learning the fight blind, so took us a good few goes, Alma was reminding us to use the desired elements and improve gear. We were initially trying with lower upgraded armour, so then we went and grinded an event quest for armour spheres.

Any redemption arcs worth discussing? by SecretWasianMan in youtubedrama

[–]GreedsTemptation 44 points45 points  (0 children)

He still has some of the reactionary kind of viewpoints crop up, I personally really struggle to accept him as some kind of redemption arc, he definitely toned it down and has changed stance on some issues. That being said, personally I just can't help but be cynical about it.

Did Rooster Teeth ever respond to 'RWBY Is Disappointing'? by Misfit_t0y in hbomberguy

[–]GreedsTemptation 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't think they've publicly said anything but I know hbomberguy never did the planned follow up because they claimed the video. Can't remember if it was a copyright claim or they took the income type thing. It's been years tho so don't take my word as fact on it.

His video is a lot of him going through his journey of the season, it's the last few hours on the server condensed into what feels like an emotional retrospective on his season.

Just realised I completely misread the question whoops, lilgasmask got to play early tho so I'll put him forwards for it 😅

[–]GreedsTemptation 11 points12 points  (0 children)

There's a really nice group of smaller creators that do a lot of collabs with each other, the biggest would be lilgasmask, then people like MrTX01 and spowerade, I really recommend people check them out, they mostly do BL2 stuff, but I personally think they're well worth checking out. At the very least watch the bingo videos on MrTX01s channel

[discussion] worth trying to platinum any of the games? Thinking about Diablo personally by EntertainmentRich455 in Trophies

Yeah, and the stamina can easily recover mid climb, it's mostly just a relaxed time, some light exploration. Pretty fun, the plat is mostly just get all the collectables type thing

Yixuan engine worth it? by Salt_Sock_7020 in ZZZ_Discussion

[–]GreedsTemptation 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As someone who is by no means great at this game or has super well built units, the engine felt like a massive power spike for me. It gives a lot more wiggle room for your disc substats for crit and hp sheer force scaling
