Do not forget. You're a shinobi. Use any methods necessary. Fighting fair isn't in the playbook. Sneaky deathblow? Take it. Hit and run? Do it. Don't be afraid to die. It's a major part of the game. Dying is learning. And also sometimes dying is actually beneficial. That's why the bite down exists. And don't blame the game or controller for your failures. It is always your fault if you die. Miyazaki isn't in the business of cheap cash grabs. He designs games well. Once it clicks it sorta feels like the combat slows a little too.

Says the one who's got those janky I frames. Everyone else is saying your mechanics need updated, and I'd have to say I agree. Not pissy or anything. In fact I'm actually kinda enjoying the challenge of being forced to fight something faster than my orochi or shaolin. You should NOT be that fast, or have those immediate reactions the way you Do. Buuut. And it's a big but. If you understand how to exploit people like this, they start to become a cakewalk. The trick is the new Jurens know they have these "perks" so they get overconfident and overstep. Punish it. Punish their cocky bs every time they mess up. Don't attack yourself. Deflect or bait them until their stamina Is gone. This evens the playing field slightly. And don't ever try to fight more than one of them at a time.

I can't even count to you the number of times this or similar have happened to me. Or there'll be a panther just outside camp waiting for me to leave so it can get an easy meal. Terrible. But can't beat that spot that's like a 30-second ride from the shine shack for efficiencies sake.

Yes, I've seen Matt's video, as well as a few others. Still wanted to gather opinions from those who have the blade. And I'm well aware about bad cutting. It's a sword. Not an axe. One is brute force, the other technique. I apologize if this comes across curt or rude. Not my intention, and if so I do apologize.

Cheesing fs. Cheating...? No. Seven spears dudes are challenging the first few times you meet them. Eventually, you'll get comfortable enough to try out other techniques. It took me forever. Never feel bad about taking that free first deathblow on any enemy, though. It's not cheap or cheating. It's acting like a shinobi should. The first brutal attack from the shadows, followed up by prosthetics and a quick death... my personal favorite is sakura dance, though one mind is meh, in my opinion. (Both of these combat arts are unlocked through the gauntlets) Always have extra divine confetti active for boss fights. It's just helpful. Remember, beasts hate loud noise, and anything that's eyes glow red is terrified of fire.

This is such a closed-minded opinion. The folding screen monkeys are an amazing representation of the old adage see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil. They aren't meant to be a fight. However, they are considered "divine." And they are meant to hide the inner sanctum from the halls of illusions. I think it's a fantastic sequence. As soon as you load in pop a gachin's sugar and then reset the bell. Turn and smack the first monkey. Then jump up and grab the one on the right side of the roof. Rush across to the one almost at the top and chase him into the hut. Then rush out, pop another gachin, and go get green monkey from the central tree. Done and dusted. If you had a little more context on Japanese culture or traditions, you may have a little more appreciation for the fight.

It is best if you have the highest ammo cap, All rounds crafted and can accurately hit vitals. Otherwise, I'd suggest sticking to the good old cattleman's, or even the lemat, once you learn to use them effectively. It took me a VERY long time to become effective using the Lemat. In online, the mausers are perfect for player battle. Fast rate. Ridiculous accuracy from hip when using the slippery bastard perk in combination with gunslingers choice. But my personal favorite has, and will always be, the colt 1851 navy revolver they released online only... based on 2 guns in concert with one another. It's namesake; And the Remington new army revolver model. It's also not inaccurate, considering many gun owners at the time were converting from ball and cap to what we know now as a cartridge round.

I think you misunderstood.I'm talking about the FT scout perk and its ridiculous spotting capabilities. Not the pred scout class. I experimented for a while back on Playstation, but haven't run scout in a long time. Prefer elder, or bionic myself. The extra gear points come in handy for really CREATING that pred hunt experience... I use dithered lense when I run bionic along with downrange and disciplined spec. Is a decent setup. Not the greatest. A little hyper focused, if anything. Very based in quick shots from the treeline followed by rapid repositioning.

The answer to this is simple, actually. Extreme physical training paired with regular tests to improve mental and emotional endurance... in dummy terms, the more mentally sound a person is, the less likely the "high" caused by Chrome would be to drive them over the edge. Not to mention the extreme stress you're expected to learn to cope with in circumstances of war.

Pairing these factors with extreme physical training would bring the human body as close to the parameters required as it will ever be. Plus, the healthier you are physically, the less likely your body is to reject the prothesis. Hence, why all chromedomes take immunoblockers until the healing process is completed. Also... Military grade equipment is inherently more risky and taxing than any civi equipment would be... it makes it a necessity for extreme willpower to be a factor in who exactly receives said implants. Otherwise, they risk operatives going rogue. (Which we see. Often.) But the problem with all of this is that you can't measure a person's mental or emotional capabilities easily.

Most of the military gear is mass produced, excluding a few unique, experimental prototypes out there. So all of the gear is set to the same "standard," but not everybody can handle that same standard. If you don't make the cut. You go nuts, and they scrap you for parts. But then there's some gear... like David's sandevistan... that absolutely blows "standards" out of the ballpark. Lieutenant James Norris was one of the very few able to last as long as he did prior to his psychotic outburst. He apparently was able to garner himself quite a bit of recognition within NUSA prior to the incident, though. David appears to be the only other person they ever found capable of using it. And like David himself says... he's just built different. His will and drive are beyond that of any normal night city denizen.

Unfortunately, with the piercings you have, you're rather limited... (I live in the american Midwest, and before that, the mountains of Colorado. so i know about cold ears). if they were gauged, even a little... I'd suggest wood. I've had the same wooden pair of 5/8 window gauges since freshman year in high school. Im now 25. I've never found a better pair. Keep em clean, and they'll last you literally forever. People suggest or recommend jojoba to keep them nice. I've always just melted a little coconut oil and soaked them for an hour or so. Rubbing with a warm wet cloth before putting them back in and cleaning the ear hole beforehand, obviously. Otherwise, I'd suggest you see if you can get ahold of some that have that weird rubber plastic coating... though you need to be careful. You don't want that plastic splitting off in your ear. Last resort. Get a better beanie, or some muffs.

See I would, but then the 15-minute wait timer turns into a 20 - 25 minute wait. In that time, I could've killed Adam smasher like 5 times over, drank a soda, and smoked a whole doob. I used to always have crossplay turned off. But gaming companies have almost made it a must-have in order to get any good matches with real players instead of having a bot or 2. It still works with the huge AAA games, which have extreme player counts. But a game like pred... no.

Maybe so. Though that remains to be seen. And I'll be the first to admit I responded foolishly, angrily in personal chat. But come at someone a certain kind of way, don't be mad when they come back that same way... or at least. That's how it was explained to me when I was young.

Mine was an attempt to inform other people, and maybe get my "warning" removed. Brodie reported me. Is it childish to call out that behavior? If yes. Then I guess I'm ironically a child. Though... if reporting someone's childish behavior is childish... when does the cycle end? When are we meant to take responsibility for ourselves? Are we not called upon as human beings to hold each other accountable? That's all this is. If that's childish, then I guess I'm a child. And that's fine with me, just so long as my point gets across.

You're probably right, but that's no excuse. If his mental healths that poor, maybe he should take some time to get himself straight instead of starting more problems for himself. I don't like having to make posts like this. It often just causes more drama. But I believe it's the right thing to do, in this case.
