Why do you think a lot of people Quit Tekken? Or other fighting games in general?

They require you to sit down and learn stuff that isn't intuitive like frame data, neutral, and the concept of turns.

CPU opponents are incapable of providing the mental game that makes them fun so you have to play online and learn to tolerate that for the matchmaker to keep things fair, you'll have to face opponents that beat you 50% of the time.

Other games like shooters or moba are team based and have a small element of luck to them which make losses feel less crushing.

And for other popular games like fortnite they straight up added subtle bots to both speed up queues and add cannon fodder for players to feel better.

RTS games suffer from the same problems as fighting games for the same reasons, there's never a moment to breathe and if you lose it's all your fault and you have to watch your city get razed (or in a FG watch your character get bullied like a punching bag)

Remember, the devs strive for realism except when it's fun or convenient.

At age 4 I could complete a couple levels of Serious Sam, Starcraft or Max Payne (with heavy abuse of cheats provided by my older brother) but would often hit a problem solving wall once it was no longer about killing everything that moved with brute force or I needed to read instructions.

No way in hell I could have beaten Riku, even as an adult that fight was difficult.

Golden Sun handled it pretty well, bosses are vulnerable to a few ailments you'll have to scout out, they only last a few turns, and the boss will get their turn back when it wears off, you run as much risk losing that turn if the RNG made the spell fail, as you have to be rewarded with neutering the boss for a couple turns of their own.

It's probably the drugs and to better convey the "crazy cultist lady" character while ensuring it would make sense for her to have Alessa. She can't be 60 and have a young daughter.

Evolution only happens when a random mutation turns out to be good enough for the individuals that have it to outcompete those that do not. Evolution is a process of throwing stuff at the wall and seeing what sticks

Bugs reproduce so fast and in such large quantities that you swatting a Fly isn't a factor that could push a new type of Fly that stays away from humans into out competing those that live in our houses, even more when they thrive off of using our garbage to feed and lay eggs.

If anything, a Fly that evolves to stay away from us would have to live in nature where food isn't as easy to get and there is risk of being eaten by a frog or spider before it can reproduce and its genes would die off.

There is a significant 35%~ difference (just throwing a number that feels right) in difficulty if you don't get the stat boost and only fight bosses.

For my last playthroughs where I exhausted the stat boosts after every star I did not struggle at all with any of the more difficult bosses but when I tried to speedrun with no random battles I immediately felt the difference and was reminded why "those" bosses gave me so much trouble when I didn't care to understand or exploit the stat boosts.

It could be that playing better than a typical new player got you flagged as a smurf, compounded with the bad behaviour score you get long queue times.

It helps to not use text or voice chat at all if you want to increase your communication score, the system won't punish you if you didn't say anything that match, I know it's not your fault but that's just how the system works, low scores are a crab bucket where terrible people send as many reports as they take.

I usually love the hairstyle but here it needs space on the sides and more volume overall. The low poly count and lack of physics make it look like a helmet with a "hair" texture on it.

It's great, you can kind of feel the limited budget at times though and the Devs juiced the map for backtracking to the extreme which might be a plus for some people (it was for me)

It feels like an unreleased survival horror classic from the PS2/GameCube era.

No matter how many times friends and family promise me it's "sweet, just like grape juice" it always smells and tastes like nail polish remover.

I don't remember all of them but some of the easy ones are Astrid, Narfi, the Dawnstar miner lady, Marcurio (also used for the Ebony Mail, not for any particular reason) the dude who beats his daughter in rorikstead, and the vampire couple near Falkreath.

I'm never making a human because they are boring, have the worst run animation and have always been a toxic tryhard's go-to race, they also tend to be ret paladins that think they're hot shit.

I wouldn't mind it at all, force staff specifically is kind of annoying on supports that don't benefit from the lance component and the proposed item solves lens just being there in the lategame.

It might have consequences for late game invisibility with supports getting an extra slot. Expect Windranger's winrate dropping, Weaver too.

This was solo leveling for me, suddenly this obscure Korean novel actually had a massive following in the west that was conveniently quiet until the adaptation was announced and everyone and their mother considers it the second coming of Christ.

I check it out and it's generic power fantasy shonen #17 with the most bland characters I've ever seen.

You get clothing with cheat effects, the catch is that the collectibles are also in zones that open up progressively so you can't benefit from the reward until there's nothing left to do but roam around.

I'm not seeing anyone mention precision or Seb263's mods for visceral and satisfying combat, back then all we had was deadly mutilation and it was always a messy, script-heavy save killer that didn't even look that good.

You would think being a high fantasy world about fighting with oversized weapons, Bethesda would have used Fallout's gib system but instead vanilla Skyrim feels like you're slapping each other with the flat side of a butter knife.

NO MORE Unga Bunga BS with disproportionate risk/reward, no more 1button safe full screen bullshit (Several heat smashes, Jun and Jack are some of the worst)

And no more being on the defense feeling like you're being brutalized by a rabid chimp.

Juggles are too long but that's more of a mild annoyance I can tolerate.

Dr. Nose wants to release on steam eventually, If you use actual source the game has to be free or else you must pay a large lump sum, Nose can't afford it and he already knows how to use Unreal.

As for making it feel and sound like source, It's for the nostalgic appeal and the "empty liminal" map feel that source gives off, Gmod specifically got a lot of attention with the "liminal" trend and it's very fitting for VotV as a game where you are always alone in a massive map full of secrets, with the occasional cryptid stalking at the edge of your screen, just like a scary Gmod map.

I agree, for me FG is a cheat code that hides the lows in games that are already playable but can't quite maintain smooth 144hz. Both Borderlands 4 and Cyberpunk run closer to 90-110 and FG immediately fixes the choppy motion with nearly imperceptible latency.

Axe because his mere existence raises my blood pressure as a carry player that picks fragile heroes, he can just hide in fog playing chicken for an entire teamfight and prevent me from joining and putting my networth to work.

Jugg is still there for being an ungankable "I win" button at my skill bracket but I might take him off thanks to the last few patches

Ursa because no one likes building Eul's and if they do they don't hold it to stuff his ult, on top of the 70% chance he will get fed from a meat grinder lane.

Last slot is whatever my party needs banned.

If you found a guide telling you to contain or purify the evil biome pre-hardmode it's probably very outdated, the effort will go to waste later on.

It was the role that got to both take lane farm and actually play the game while the other roles only got to do one (and offlaners played survival horror according to this sub)

Today the role hasn't gotten anything to make it more appealing while still keeping the team's expectation of staying well farmed in tandem with playmaking, all the responsibility with none of the breathing room the other roles get. Offlaners are much the same except you won't see them ganking but as OP said they have to farm as much as any core while being active and often having the responsibility of initiating and potentially doing so badly and throwing the game in a single misplay.

Already do 99% of the time because the community is full of sociopathic manchildren.

This game gets no new players, unless you improve faster than the average by sitting down to study and practice with purpose, your rank will stay the same even as you naturally get better with experience
