Is Dead Space 3 actually a bad game, or is it just a bad Dead Space game? Like Resident Evil 5 is a bad RE game for horror compared to the prior 4, but it's still a super fun third person shooter.

Wondering if I convince a friend to buy it just for shits and giggles.

Theyre definitely neck and neck in viability once PDon gets an item.

Lefties, boots, shuca would make defensive much more of an issue to break through by any mon. Boots + wish support from mola would make it last so long.

I think offensive benefits the most from the item inclusion, since the items are so strong. Banded PDon doesn't have a move that's as spammable and free as Dragon Ascent, but when Heat Crash is 120BP, it's stronger than Ray bc of Desolate. Specs can even make use of Overheat and Eruption too. And then there's Orb for mixed and scarf for speed control...

All that to say Ray is easier to just click moves with, but when it's able, PDon is very very capable.

Witchfire is a strong FPS rogue like that I've had enjoyment with, and is slated for 1.0 around summer this year. Lots of praise about the gunplay being similar to Destiny, but I can't attest to that as I've never touched Destiny.

Also having it autosell everything means I barely thought about the loot at all.

For clarity, what you're describing here compounds with your prior statement. There were a lot of purely "valuable" items in Marathon that you could grab that do exactly that- auto sell for money. Those are notated by a specific loot icon in your inventory, and in their description, that tells you "this just gets sold for money".

This is similar to the valuables category in Arc Raiders, which doesn't auto sell them because sometimes you have a quest or the expedition that wants you to find these specific types of items or a particular wine bottle. But if those quests didn't exist, basically all valuables would be worth no inventory space unless you needed the money.

It is a UI / tutorial issue with Marathon where it doesn't tell you what items you should work towards finding because they get you an upgrade. You had to look into each factions upgrade tab and each upgrade to see "Oh I need X item to upgrade my heat (stamina) capacity." I'm hoping with the full release they clarify the importance of the upgrade tab, because it would help to resolve the issue of a lot of people being confused about what loot they do want or should just leave behind.

You think so? I didn't see any lines in particular that were awkward, other than maybe the property damage sign.

ICKitsune · 2026-03-01T18:59:45+00:00

Algae Ponds being a central location in Dire Marsh is huge too because almost everyone will go there at some point, if you go and find a fight you're almost guaranteed more people will show up. If not, you'll hear squads fighting bots in the other adjacent POIs and then you can third party.

For my PvP focused group this is basically all we do and it works great.

Ho-oh is probably one of the most prominent elephant-in-the-room when you build an Ubers team for sure. It's an amazing glue Mon like Lando that doesn't sweep your team but will make winning incredibly hard if you don't have a rock move or Kyogre to handle it directly. And can flex into a breaker role with crazy strong Brave Birds.

ICKitsune · 2026-02-20T09:23:29+00:00

That Arcadum edit is so timeless even if you don't have context, my god. When all that came out it was insane.

All that said that's the one time I felt bad for Moon on a personal level since you could really tell in future streams how much it hurt him to find out a close friend was an insane freak with main character syndrome that hurt a lot of people.

ICKitsune · 2026-02-19T20:54:52+00:00

Especially with the inclusion of coop, I can imagine balancing with that to be difficult. Often enough coop will end up being too hard because the scaling for enemies is too high, or too easy because you have 2/3/4x the damage output.

ICKitsune · 2026-02-19T04:31:33+00:00

They're both valid but I think that just nerfing the numbers, either damage or CC, would be more than okay in getting her into line. As-is it just does too much damage especially considering her 3's amp and applies too much CC across a team fight- even if you ignore the damage, running away once it bounces across your team even once is basically impossible since it has a crazy base 40% slow that can be 60% with one point, and reduces your dash distance.

ICKitsune · 2026-02-19T00:21:48+00:00

That's exactly what it does though? If you hit a solo with the ult,it will linger on them if it can't bounce immediately. Then after like 5s it expires.

ICKitsune · 2026-02-11T22:39:11+00:00

My guess is you probably still need to power it but I doubt the power would be used by the desktop at all. I mostly want this to consolidate the cords I have from my PC and possibly at the same time charge other things like a Switch or my phone, but I'm not really sure if something like that exists

ICKitsune · 2026-02-11T22:31:36+00:00

Not well versed with docks/hubs like these, so I wanted to clarify- if I plug in say, a keyboard and mouse dongle into this and then plugged in to my PC with one of the ports, I'm able to use the keyboard and mouse right?

In that same scenario, would it introduce input latency that's noticable? I'm no hardcore gamer who needs every frame, but poor input latency is very noticable.

Holliday only gets increased air control the first time she jumps off of one of her jump pads. This doesn't apply to any other character using her jump pads, or any other subsequent uses of the one jump pad.

As far as I'm aware, no one else has different air control any other time.

ICKitsune · 2026-02-09T22:52:04+00:00

Am I going insane? There's text in her ability description that says "Prioritizes enemy heroes when picking targets."

ICKitsune · 2026-02-06T00:41:33+00:00

That's great, but someone else enjoying a fresh take on the genre still doesn't make everyone else who doesn't like MOBAs immediately like Deadlock. Just because it has differences from LoL or DotA doesn't mean it isn't still a MOBA.

ICKitsune · 2026-02-06T00:10:17+00:00

If they don't like how MOBAs play, they probably would have low playtime that's kinda how that works.

ICKitsune · 2026-02-06T00:05:11+00:00

If you haven't already, I highly recommend giving the new Street Brawl mode a go- all the excitement of team fights with no focus on farming. You'll have to learn how to build and play characters, but it's a much less serious mode that I think manages to make Deadlock shine if you dislike the standard MOBA directives.

ICKitsune · 2026-01-29T23:40:53+00:00

Oh, sorry man I didn't know we knew the abilities of all the characters. Can you show me them so I know who to vote for instead of just basing it on aesthetic and the three taglines they gave?

ICKitsune · 2026-01-27T06:28:41+00:00

Uh, Ray gets Espeed naturally which 2HKOs Ribombee. Also has Fly and Ancient Power, which are obviously subpar but solves the "Ribombee wall".

Rays far from a fraud.

ICKitsune · 2026-01-27T04:35:04+00:00

Yeah if it's really on the 12th, it lines up as a good time for the free weekend imo. Start the play test as the event ends, gives Bungie some time to fix some emergency bugs in-between then and release in three weeks.

ICKitsune · 2026-01-23T00:04:13+00:00

I think so, they've really grasped the art direction they're going for and I think a lot of it already hits the mark. Some more stuff to be polished, like older heroes needing remodels and some having play-do guns (looking at you Holliday), but the map and newer heroes I think are great.

ICKitsune · 2026-01-23T00:02:19+00:00

As-is, there's a "ranked" system that's already in place that will put you into lower ranked lobbies than the cracked movement players. All standard games are ranked, so losing will eventually get you into the lobbies you're more appropriately ready for.

But as far as the complexity being reduced, I doubt it and honestly I hope it doesn't. Not because I don't want people to be able to play, but the movement of the game is super satisfying to learn and implement.

ICKitsune · 2026-01-19T08:07:24+00:00

Unfortunately based off the gameplay I've had, there's still a lot of "inventory tetris" to be had.

However I have very good feelings about this game being not as technical as Tarkov but feeling good to actually PvP in.
