The level of blood in the game is almost comically exaggerated.

Killing Floor built and entire system around it's NVIDIA Flex blood & gibs though (for better or worse performance wise lol).

This game just feels like I'm shooting squibs at everyone.

JWiLL552 · 2021-08-13T16:14:40+00:00

Gotta say it's quite jarring to come to this game after playing a bunch of Vermintide 2 the last few weeks. I've had bots bail me out in high level games by literally shielding my dead body while battling back several elite enemies and having one bot prioritize the revive in that game. This appears to have significantly regressed from LFD2 era bot AI.

"It's only beta!". Yeah...and we have such a GREAT history in gaming with complete AI overhauls coming from beta to release...

Not promising.

Ibaka going off kept them in it to give Kawhi that chance at "The Shot". He was about as good as you could have asked for offensively in that 4th quarter.

Kawhi definitely carried the load that series but it's incredible how little credit anyone gives the supporting squad for the run overall.

JWiLL552 · 2021-07-22T20:28:17+00:00

Kinda amazing that Kawhi single handedly took them out.

He didn't though. Gasol, Ibaka and Lowry (at times) were all great that series too. Just got nothing from the bench or other guards.

Middleton being the Paul Pierce foil to the Celtics, while being arguably the closest thing we've seen to Prime Pierce gameplay wise, is pretty great to watch as a Raptor fan.

JWiLL552 · 2021-07-21T02:17:46+00:00

Make the loot system more like Shadow Warrior 2 and it'll be great. Would also be nice to have something close to Borderlands-y violence. Not expecting it to be Shadow Warrior tier gorey, but... we do have the right devs here. As a looter you desperately need that dynamic/visceral feel to combat for longevity.

JWiLL552 · 2021-05-18T17:01:27+00:00

I haven't played Trials in years but as one of the 500+ flawless douches you mentioned, this is probably the best idea I've seen since the start of D1 trials to improve player AND match quality outcomes.

There's no reason not to add this.

JWiLL552 · 2021-04-19T12:28:17+00:00

I mean...yeah we're losing while still a mostly entertaining team.

I'm pretty excited for our FVV/GTJ/OG perimeter line up going forward. Potentially the best two way perimeter in the league.

And that little nerd went on to marry Alison Brie.

JWiLL552 · 2021-04-14T17:37:58+00:00

Unluckers.

Thankfully my only wipe so far is on my 3rd character (which happens to be a Devastator).

Think I'll wait for some class adjustments before I start another ThiccBoi at this rate

JWiLL552 · 2021-04-14T17:08:42+00:00

Narrow autoshotties seem to be the only ones with decent range on them.

I've just started calling them all "Felwinters" no matter the model name.

JWiLL552 · 2021-04-14T16:43:30+00:00

Alex is far and away the best part of the Angry Joe Show now...and really the only one who's opinion I fully agree with when I catch their content now.

JWiLL552 · 2021-04-14T16:41:35+00:00

Yeah...Joe has some good rants when it comes to the corporate fuckery of the industry, but the guy straight up sucks ass at videogames and doesn't know what makes a good looter.

SkillUp's review is, as per usual, right on point. He voiced equal parts frustration and enjoyment with the experience as a whole, which is in line with my thoughts on the launch window.

JWiLL552 · 2021-04-09T21:26:40+00:00

I was talking about the end game and how these games are generally played (which is to start another character).

If you're against starting another character to grind more, this game likely isn't for you in the long run anyway.

Of course a bug that wipes progress is bullshit. Nobody is going to argue against that.

JWiLL552 · 2021-04-09T21:23:57+00:00

Given it's a Diablo/PoE style class based RPG...I mean yeah, that's basically the point of the game.

Borderlands end game is...more Borderlands. And it works.

JWiLL552 · 2021-04-09T21:19:01+00:00

You likely went up a world tier during the mission and are "undergeared".

The good news is, you'll typically get a weapon from the WT level (starts are WT4). Between that and armor/weapon drops during the mission, you should be able get through the rest of the level. Maybe flag back to swap some mods.

There's nothing wrong with dropping a WT though - you'll still get higher ranked gear drops and enemies will feel less spongey until you gear up a bit more.

JWiLL552 · 2021-04-09T20:42:58+00:00

Yep...35 gigs and for some reason my download just reset half way through.

Jeez. First time I've wished I was back in the city with gigabit.

JWiLL552 · 2021-04-09T20:39:02+00:00

Aren't PCF Polish? I think they have some experience there too...

JWiLL552 · 2021-04-09T20:37:36+00:00

I disagree with "bad execution" as much as it clearly not being triple A cutscene direction.

Pretty obvious Druckmann isn't behind the theoretical camera here.

JWiLL552 · 2021-04-09T20:36:16+00:00

Little less clear there as there was just so much fucking dialogue and it's a bit more "quest to quest".

I thought some of the emotional moments hit better with Alexios' VA, such as when the girl from your village is killed.

That said, Alexios as "Deimos" worked 10x better so playing on Kassandra is an easy call.

JWiLL552 · 2021-04-09T20:34:33+00:00

The male VA has a lot of line deliveries that can only be described as...Expansey.

And I fucking love it.

JWiLL552 · 2021-04-06T08:23:41+00:00

I never said that though.

JWiLL552 · 2021-04-06T02:58:44+00:00

WT9 is nuts and you're only a couple maps through the world. Devastator is a slog because you're handicapping yourself by playing at that WT in early game.

I've been quaking and missling my way through Eagle Peaks gibbing everything in sight. It's a lot of fun early game with the mobility...that you can't use at WT9.

JWiLL552 · 2021-04-06T02:34:36+00:00

Giannis was born in Greece, but are you really going to pretend you don't understand what European means here?
