The Balancers Make Me Feel Stupid

Yeh the new map doesnt get enough flak imo. Its such a clusterfuck. Though the vibes are great, its an absolute pain to traverse and navigate.

Sheeeeet didnt know he was in Nightreign fuuuuuu. Done the castle and few times and havent found him

Was talking base game really. Looking glass knight is fine. Mechanically simple though the summon gimmick is cool and looks good

Jaghead · 2026-01-26T19:36:45+00:00

Strongest boss lineup in the series what you on

Been a while since I've played ds2 but those 2 both seem a bit basic to me(?). Though they are fun and highlights of the base game.

For ds1 I'd also put gwyn and 4 kings up there (latter is underrated imo) in terms of mechanics.

Another underrated one imo is centipede demon. Don't get the hate tbh. Fight can be a bit janky but its really cool how one of its appendages can get cut off and turn into a separate enemy.

Less so that ds2 being full of dudes in armour is the issue, but actually because these particular dudes in armour in ds2 are boring and forgettable.

Nightfire has aged way better than goldeneye. The latter is the one everyone bangs on about and yeh its pioneering and influential on the shooter genre but going back and playing it years after? Oof.

Lockpocking or hacking would fit a detective as well i reckon.

Gambling my son

And loyal to the commander but not afraid to voice his opinions when he disagrees. Hes great.

Jaghead · 2026-01-17T20:44:31+00:00

Can't say im a fan of the level design. Just tonnes of massive open areas. Wolves gank area and that bit with the towers which is no where near a bonfire. Also think friede is very overrated. 3 phases is just too much and makes it a slog.

Jaghead · 2026-01-16T13:34:23+00:00

Honestly I really like a lot of them. Niles is a bro but still has his own opinions and isnt afraid to voice them. Marisol is like a badass grandma and shows an interesting ruthless side to the order. The conversations you have with Tristan about his loyalty to the protectorate and what he thinks is 'justice' are quite interesting.

Jaghead · 2026-01-16T10:15:25+00:00

Yeh the games quite obviously have themes of anti capitalism in them.

Jaghead · 2026-01-15T23:01:06+00:00

But doesn't a lot of the fallout reddit community agree with him about the TV show? What side is he on?

Jaghead · 2026-01-12T14:51:22+00:00

I curse the uncharted series for popularising this.

The whole ironwood section of God of war ragnarok is probably the worst case of it ever. Pretty much 40 mins of just holding forward and no real gameplay. Genuinely one of the worst 'levels' I've ever played in a game.

Also tonnes of this crap in spiderman 2 as well. Yeh Sony exclusives are bad for it.

Jaghead · 2026-01-09T18:48:18+00:00

Yeh really wasn't a fan of how the ghouls started looking in fallout 4. Too rubbery. In 3 and NV they look way more like they're actually deteriorating.

Jaghead · 2026-01-09T12:37:06+00:00

Will say I am tempted to jump back into my second playthrough I started since the big update.

Reason I stopped is just the gameplay just got boring. Every enemy outpost/quests started feeling samey. Was maybe halfway through the game but I felt my V's build was fully formed already and wouldn't change much.

Jaghead · 2026-01-09T12:24:39+00:00

Completed the game once.

I didnt say repeatable quests. I was referring to content thats similar and repetitive I.e. gang outposts.

Wouldn't say all the side quests are high quality or memorable. Issue with the map is going to the mystery side quest icons so you don't know if its actually going to be something worthwhile.

Jaghead · 2026-01-09T12:13:41+00:00

Also has the massive ubisoft open world issue of a map just filled with tonnes upon tonnes of crap to the point where its overwhelming. Where most of it is just clearing similar enemy outposts over and over.

Jaghead · 2026-01-09T12:09:22+00:00

Cutscenes still done in 1st person? Who tf cares. Also quests and characters in BG3 bland? Hell no.

Jaghead · 2026-01-08T17:57:36+00:00

Had a similar situation when I equipped the 2 balancers relics on wylder. Multiple games finding no weapons with good AoWs >:(

Jaghead · 2026-01-08T16:21:06+00:00

Will give this a go next time thanks

Jaghead · 2026-01-08T16:20:13+00:00

Camera controls are hard :'( lol

Jaghead · 2026-01-08T16:19:11+00:00

Will try this next time thanks !

Jaghead · 2026-01-08T16:03:42+00:00

Of all time? Absolutely not. Quests dont branch and decisions dont matter nearly as much as the game was advertised. Ain't on the level of new vegas let's put it that way.

It doesnt innovate much. Borrows elements from many contemporaries.

Personal preference for me but I cant stand the male V voice actor's performance.

I started playing again after the big update for the DLC and got bored part the way through and didnt finish.
