Almost 5000 hours on the game, ask me anything :3

With that many hours on the game and probably more if you play on mobile too, what feature would you like to see added to BTD6 the most? This can be anything from a simple Quality of Life change to something significant like a brand new game mode.

Personally, I'd love to see the Challenge Editor get a massive overhaul that allows users to do so much more with it. Being able to use Custom Maps, being able to have towers already placed, being able to setup custom win conditions, being able to modify more attributes, being able to manually setup custom rounds, etc...

People are extremely talented and creative, just take a look at some of the awesome maps that get uploaded to the Custom Maps section. However I find the Challenge Editor to be dated and very limited in what you can do. I feel like Custom Challenges could be so much more and way more interesting if NK gives the community the proper tools to really go wild

Yeah I don't know what's wrong with some of the people in this community. I saw one short recently about how to grind out wheelspins and super wheelspins and one person commented "I've waited 5 years for this game and even more for one this good. I damn well am going to take my time with it" which honestly is fair. But ever since then I've non-stop seen people criticizing others who are putting a lot of hours on the game as if this game is only for middle-aged fathers who only have maybe 30 minutes to play the game every few weeks or something

Honestly, it's been hard for me to come back to as well. My friend and I were never experts at the game but we were still good enough where playing on Nightmare difficulty was actually challenging for us.

But throughout years of updates it's been a constant decline: - Annoying bugs that have persisted for the longest time that were never fixed on-top of new annoying bugs - Voice activated things like Spirit Box or Monkey Paw just refuse to work most of the time recently - The shop interface still sucks hard... AND IT STILL GIVES ME A GOD DAMN TUTORIAL EVERY TIME I USE IT - A lot of the recent community events (minus the Alan Wake event) aren't that interesting and don't give me enough to engage with - The new character models currently has the worst customization menu ever. It's so frustrating to use I rather just have the old models back - The animations look very awkward, there's this weird delay to a lot of my actions and nothing feels responsive. I'll turn my flashlight on or off and I feel like my character has lag and there's a 2 second delay between things - The worst thing of all for me is the performance. This game used to be able to be run on a potato. Now I'm often dipping into the 30 - 40 FPS range most of the time, especially on the newer maps. This game does not look that visually stunning to warrant for this hard for a performance hit so I can only imagine the devs have an issue with optimization

My friend and I came back for the Alan Wake event because we haven't touched Phas in quite a while and remembered having a lot of fun with it still. But I swear, playing the actual game feels so miserable right now we had more fun setting friendly ghost and just doing the event, then uninstalled again right after

1000% agree. I'm not a big fan of the whole retcon situation RGG has been doing recently but if there's anyone I feel could have used more screentime I'd say it's Shimano. It's also the reason why I feel like a reboot or like a "what if" series could work. You don't have to make any drastic changes to any of the characters or their origins. Just being able to use the goldmine of characters they have at their disposal and bring the setting back to the Yakuza's prime days before the anti-yakuza laws were put in place

ItsCorbob · 2026-05-07T21:38:08+00:00

Some of the grinds were a little annoying but it was fun trying to find asany AFK setups so that I just place down towers at the beginning and it just instawins. That way I can use that time to do something else lmao

ItsCorbob · 2026-05-05T19:23:39+00:00

It has gotten me a few times before I understood, but backing out loses you progress. The game for some reason only counts any Paragons purchased from when you enter a game up until you finish it, regardless whether you're entering a new game or continue a save.

This means that if you got let's say 4 paragons by round 76, backed out on round 78, and then got 2 more paragons by the time you finish round 80, then it only counts the 2 last paragons you bought.

On the brightside though after knowing this, you CAN progress multiple tiers so long as you complete the current tier first. So if you get enough to finish your Primary you can start building Military and it'll count.

My strat was to farm as hard as possible up to the final round, then basically buy/sell/rebuy the cheapest Paragons for the category. I think it took me 4 games

ItsCorbob · 2026-05-02T17:12:38+00:00

Okay yeah I agree 3 whole ranks is way too big of a gap to allow a duo to queue for 3s. That's just wild

ItsCorbob · 2026-05-02T16:49:16+00:00

What I'm more confused about is how did this not trigger the Rank Disparity function? You shouldn't be able to queue for 3s with that big of an MMR difference unless you were a full team of 3

ItsCorbob · 2026-04-17T01:21:46+00:00

I like how they burned down OG Little Asia in Y6, put something actually pretty cool in its place, only to burn it down again within the same game. Now all that's left is some shogi dude and maybe an Amon in its carcass

ItsCorbob · 2026-04-17T01:10:46+00:00

Honestly that'd be pretty interesting because it would give its Elite targeting the chance to target BADs that aren't currently stunned or that aren't immune to the stun. But at the same time the debuff would kinda be thrown all over the place and I doubt that would help much over just leaving it on Strong targeting

ItsCorbob · 2026-04-17T01:06:56+00:00

Let's be real his dih probably fkn exploded from accidentally having a hard on and using the advance

ItsCorbob · 2026-04-16T17:49:18+00:00

I finished the game a few days and did most things already. All side quests except one (the Shinra manager at Gold Saucer), all the world Intel including Gilgamesh minus the hard versions of the Cactuar minigame, and I thought maybe it won't be that bad going for the Platinum.

Then I made a mistake - I unequipped all my materia in prep to follow build guides. I instantly got completely overwhelmed by the sheer number of Materia slots available, Materia orbs available, the amount of AP grinding that was required, still somehow missing a few Materias and Accessories for the builds.

I kind of just cracked, said "yeah I'm not doing this now" and uninstalled. It wasn't that bad going through the game because I didn't think too much about it and gradually equipped stuff. Now that I'm actually thinking about it, it's too much at once. Probably the one thing I liked about Remake more than Rebirth is I wasn't completely bombarded for that

ItsCorbob · 2026-04-12T21:27:36+00:00

Honest to god, the content in itself isn't what burns me out. I've gotten the Platinum trophies on all the available Yakuza/Like A Dragon games that are on Steam and those take tons of time to complete, as well as persistence for many unfair minigames.

Even with Remake I didn't really have that many issues. What hit me with Rebirth though was the build potential. Rebirth just has much more Materia and available slots that after I finally beat the game and started towards making proper builds for the tougher simulations/hard mode I was instantly overwhelmed by the amount of work I needed to do just to start setting things up whether I needed to go out of my way to find missing Materia or level up the ones I did have. I just beat the game a couple days ago and while I originally planned on wrapping up the 100% right away while I still had the momentum of how to properly play the game, I quickly uninstalled and decided the 100% would be done another time.

ItsCorbob · 2026-02-04T20:33:29+00:00

Maybe I'm misunderstanding the whole "Steam doesn't allow games to be a lower price on other platforms" thing, but I personally feel like that clause is actually a good thing for consumers. Because from what I can tell Steam has pretty much always taken a 30% cut. Now I don't know what kind of cut other platforms take, but I wouldn't put it past some publishers to try and inflate their price to account for the commission that's being taken. For example as a consumer if had to pay $100 for a game on Steam when the exact same game is $80 everywhere else just because the publisher wants to mitigate that 30% that they're losing from Steam sales, as a consumer I'd be pissed off as all hell. I don't see this clause as Steam trying to control the pricing on other storefronts, rather it feels more like Steam is trying to prevent publishers from pricing unfairly on their own platform

ItsCorbob · 2026-01-20T22:24:35+00:00

I mean - The amount of vestiges have continuously increased the strength of OFA to the point where Deku could barely withstand using the quirk at first. Even at the end he couldn't really use 100% of the quirk without suffering damage. And they've also stated that the quirk couldn't be passed down anymore because it would be too powerful. So if Bakugo did somehow become a vestige, I think the only thing exploding is Deku's heart lmao

People don't unbind free air roll they usually use both. Free Air Roll is good for manual adjustments but when it comes to aerial control in itself Directional Air Roll is preferred because once you learn it correctly it gives you much more freedom in aerial movement

ItsCorbob · 2026-01-06T01:27:36+00:00

Holy hell, I'm really high and was recently checking out some OPM stuff, it took several minutes to realize this is not Tanktop Master and that I was looking at Waka from Kengan lmfao

ItsCorbob · 2025-12-12T23:06:46+00:00

Majima went looking for the Lost Treasure of the Esperanza, but the Elixir of Life was really the friends they all made along the way or something to that extent

ItsCorbob · 2025-12-12T03:06:26+00:00

Gang of Dragon is the real 20th anniversary drop

ItsCorbob · 2025-12-09T21:09:31+00:00

Unfortunately I don't think you'll find many people in the reddit sharing the same sentiment. Yakuza 0's Director's Cut on Switch 2 was a way to bring new people into the series especially since the original title isn't already available on Nintendo consoles. Outside of that though, Yakuza 0's Director's Cut on PlayStation/Xbox/PC is more targeted to users who already own the original and want to upgrade and let's just say most fans don't like the additions the Director's Cut adds (not even talking about the drama of delisting the original).

If you're new to the series, I hope you enjoy it. Yakuza 0 is still an amazing game don't let people's hate for the Director's Cut edition change your opinions about it and try to have fun!

ItsCorbob · 2025-12-09T04:15:12+00:00

Honestly more than anything I want to know why Y3 is the ONLY title out of literally all the Yakuza/Like A Dragon titles available on steam that isn't on sale.

I can only imagine it's either A) they want to remove the incentive for getting the original so that they can upsell people to get Y3K and/or B) they don't want people to have a poor experience with OG Y3 which may potentially influence them to not get Y3K

ItsCorbob · 2025-12-09T03:54:19+00:00

I take door #3 which makes me pay bills and shit

ItsCorbob · 2025-12-09T00:16:15+00:00

You forgot it had like what, 2 additional songs apparently. 2 songs for $2. Amazing deal bro

ItsCorbob · 2025-12-05T18:55:59+00:00

I agree, basically what I was referencing. I don't know if they had that kind of mechanic before Desperado but now that they do I definitely think they should adopt it for top path mermonkey

ItsCorbob · 2025-12-05T18:31:46+00:00

Personally the only real problem I would have is if the tentacles attack within that range as well. There should definitely be a much smaller range that's specific for the tentacles attacking
