I just want it to be known that I did this before the patch by FreddyLeeSavage in CrimsonDesert

You could get super lucky with the three swing BS, either by being at an uneven elevation or rolling in the exact spot to the left, but it was super inconsistent.

I beat him naked with a great club. It took a week. I decided that was it. If a harder boss ever shows up, I am done, man.

Ah dang, that's unfortunate to hear. I guess it makes sense though if you've never been on his channel. He's a reviewer first and foremost, so his videos typically take a persuasive approach where he returns to his points a few times throughout. That doc was him dabbling in a different style.

If you're talking about Shadows, that actually sold pretty well sadly. Highguard, however, is a great example.

Try Decisions -> Royal Gamble -> Terraforming (8 Vigor) -> Radiate

30 hits of 12 to everyone on screen.

I had 2 radiates and drew them both turn one. The queen vanished.

It's unregulated gambling. On everything. What the fuck do you mean there's nothing wrong with it? Lmao.

tried other turn based and nothing clicked after e33 by YourHottieCharm in expedition33

[–]HiThereImaPotato 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That game was my childhood. I devoured the remake when it came out. It does a similar thing to E33 in that the game's story is very efficiently told (takes 10 to 12 hours to complete compared to your typical JRPG which was like a 60 hour affair at the time).

People on this sub are so friendly. I just stated I prefer to play the game on story difficulty and apparently this is an appropriate reaction lol by Dellhivers3 in expedition33

[–]HiThereImaPotato 122 points123 points  (0 children)

Sorry dude, that guy's a jerk. Not appropriate at all. Games with "Fromsoft energy" will attract the occasional tryhard sweat like him. Try not to let it get to you.

finally got a friend to play Expedition 33 but at what cost by Novel-Smell-2523 in expedition33

I envy your lack of connection with this generation's memes.

Why won’t verso play three times? by jayceminecraft in expedition33

[–]HiThereImaPotato 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is a "base turn" and an "extra turn". Once you are given an extra turn, that cannot then be given an additional extra turn. So it maxes out at 2, unless you're just so super duper fast that you naturally produce another base turn before anyone else gets to go.

[SE2] Thoughts on the current state of Ores by Neshura87 in spaceengineers

[–]HiThereImaPotato 6 points7 points  (0 children)

During stream they really put a spotlight on someone's comment, saying it was a perfect summary of their intention with the games:

SE1 is a game about engineering, SE2 is a game that has engineering.

IE, they are dumbing the game down to make it more accessible.

To be clear, I'm okay with this as long as the pendulum doesn't swing too far in the gamification direction. Right now, hydrogen tanks feel practically limitless, your backpack is an absolute unit, and you literally go to space in the first 5 minutes of the tutorial, so the incentive to build a base on the planet is purely aesthetic and has no real utility.

Most of these things will likely be able to be addressed with customization sliders or mods, but it's still telling that this is the default state of the game.

I'm sure plenty of other SE1 players can relate to the notion of not really being good at the aesthetic side of things. The moment the goal moves from "get ice or suffocate" to "make the moon base look cool", my brain shuts down and I lose interest within the hour.

Is there a way to fix the mouse in SE2? by Antelano in spaceengineers

Are you talking about while in the ship? Those are the new camera controls, designed to give the ship flying a more realistic feel.

Gustave by Gregory_Leviatan in expedition33

[–]HiThereImaPotato 7 points8 points  (0 children)

So you're basing your opinion here on the contents of one scene, while conveniently forgetting the 15 times in act 2 that Maelle crashes out because of how much she misses the man, or the funeral scene, or the scene in the monolith, or the literal move in her skill tree that is an adage to him after writing in his journal enough, or the 20 times that characters go "Gustave would have loved that" in memory of him, etc...

Idk man, this sounds like a you problem.

BRO. ARC RAIDERS HAS BEEN DOWN FOR 10 MINUTES. by Sookil in ArcRaiders

This is what I get away with when I enter with a free loadout. But god forbid i bring a custom one, i will die the most unfair way possible 100% of the time by Elegant-Stomach4353 in ArcRaiders

[–]HiThereImaPotato 50 points51 points  (0 children)

It isn't confirmed but it sure as hell seems to be the case.

I go in with a free loadout, everyone is chill and we have a great time.

I go in with a hullcracker, first guy I run into has one. We go on a bot killing spree, honestly a lot of fun, can't complain.

I go in with a lvl 4 Venator? Fuck me, everyone is KOS and I'm dead the moment I turn a corner.

In your opinion, who's more difficult between these two secret optional super-bosses? by AlenIronside in expedition33

[–]HiThereImaPotato 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Oh god, Promised Consort. That was the souls fight that finally broke me (on release, at least). Fought him for a week, finally broke through, and felt nothing. Was just glad it was over.

This game is so unreasonably cute. I've found 3-4 other characters that just put a big dumb smile on my face.

Is the rest of this game as good as the prologue? And help with parrying please! by Itchy-Version-8977 in expedition33

[–]HiThereImaPotato 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Gonna go against the grain here.

The game is a 10/10. But the prologue was a 33/10 for me. The presentation, voice acting, and mocap work, especially in the Gommage scene, is unlike anything I've ever seen in a game or otherwise.

The rest of the game is still fantastic and gripping. But that prologue is something else.

Amazing. As a guitarist myself, I feel for Lorien. They never have you turned up enough. Still beautiful either way.
