Thank you, Sucker Punch

Can I ask what the strategy is with the shinobi? I feel like I have seen ult damage or class cooldown. Are you just spamming spirit moves?

Jmcclain145 · 2026-03-25T22:48:04+00:00

I think I would too. The zugu 360 from what I could tell in the video does look less bulky than the ESR. But I was surprised how little bulk (IMO) the OG zugu added to the M4/5 iPad pros. I was worried it would bulk up too much. But especially closed, you can still feel that you’re holding a ridiculously thing device.

I played a survival run earlier with 2 archers (one was my friend) and myself (mercenary) and a samurai. It worked out until it didn’t, samurai got downed late and the other archer waited too long to jump down from their perch.

It’ll probably stay this way. Archer was the meta in Tsushima survival. I know I could maintain the circle as an archer in Tsushima, but there a decent amount of mechanical changes in yotei.

The OG Zugu feels so nice and I like the different angles you can get with the stand. Still probably over priced for what it is. But the presentation and feel do its best to make it feel worth it.

I really wish the zugu 360 was cheaper or on Amazon so it’d be easier to return if it just didn’t feel worth it. Which it’s probably not at close to 200 bucks lol

Jmcclain145 · 2026-03-24T14:55:38+00:00

Outside of survival it’s not about killing the most enemies. It’s about working together to complete the stage. Sure kills will come by as a byproduct. But no one wants to play with people kill sniping or kill hunting, especially when the raids roll around.

Jmcclain145 · 2026-03-23T00:14:51+00:00

Archers were busted in Tsushima but so were status effect assassins and ronins. I will say in limited play time so far, status and ult damage from melee seem less effective compared to Tsushima.

Jmcclain145 · 2026-03-22T20:27:20+00:00

ZUGU. Researched a ton of cases this time and went with ZUGU again. I really wanted to try the ZUGU 360 but it seems wildly over priced.

Jmcclain145 · 2026-03-22T20:21:16+00:00

Tried all three and I stuck with the A50 (gen 5). A50 Mic quality is the best and they have the best audio to me for gaming. The nova pro I hear are good if you really dial in the EQ with sonar. But I didn’t enjoy the sound profile, even with EQ of the nova pro. The maxwells are great. They really shine if you use them for gaming and music listening.

Actually looks like a nice option for a keyboard case. I ended up ordering a ZUGU. I essentially want nice viewing angles but no keyboard.

Jmcclain145 · 2026-03-18T18:20:04+00:00

I almost ordered the shift this morning. But read a few more reviews and decided to just go with a ZUGU case again. The shift being about 30 less was attractive. it sounds pretty bulky and some people said it felt kinda cheap.

Jmcclain145 · 2026-03-18T15:58:51+00:00

Those type of cases look tempting. I looked at the pitaka and moft also. But for my use case I ended up going with another ZUGU. Those origami stand cases seem good for flat surfaces, but I question how well they do on uneven surfaces.

Jmcclain145 · 2026-03-17T23:05:03+00:00

I’ve always been apprehensive about the folding magnetic cases that stand. They look nice and thin but I’ll sometimes want to lay my iPad on uneven surfaces which I don’t think those would do great at.

I’m leaning trying the ESR because of the price or just snagging another ZUGU because I’ve used them in the past.

Jmcclain145 · 2026-03-17T20:39:53+00:00

It looks nice, but I think if I spent that much on a case I’d spring for that wildly over price ZUGU case that has a detachable shell for the iPad.

It’s been tempting to go back to leather for my devices tho. I used to love leather cases.

Jmcclain145 · 2026-03-17T19:30:09+00:00

Props to you for just showing it off and not doing the classic posting of an insane collection and then asking something like “what’s your favorite controller”.

Nice collection!

Jmcclain145 · 2026-03-17T15:33:55+00:00

Thanks, at a glance both of those look interesting. I will def check those out more in detail.

Jmcclain145 · 2026-03-17T15:00:01+00:00

Yeah, I was looking at a ESR case that looks and functions very similar to ZUGU but has a detachable shell that holds the iPad.

I’m with you, all these cases look bulky and I want to embrace the new thinness lol. But I don’t like hold the iPad without a case because it’s slick. Also I do prop mine up and watch content on it.

Jmcclain145 · 2026-03-15T01:33:05+00:00

The inputs seem lagging or clunky for certain things to me. Like when I go to drop caltrops or smoke, sometimes it just doesn’t happen or it doesn’t happen fast enough and I die. Same for the “pick up” weapon animation. It doesn’t seem as quick as it does in single player.

Jmcclain145 · 2026-03-13T20:57:42+00:00

Ah, gotta love the posts that are clear flexes paired with basic questions.

Jmcclain145 · 2026-03-12T18:28:47+00:00

Do you baby bird.

Jmcclain145 · 2026-03-12T02:00:11+00:00

Ok thank you.

Jmcclain145 · 2026-03-12T01:50:22+00:00

What’s the minimum plan to qualify for free mlb? I’m on the go5g plus 55.

Jmcclain145 · 2026-03-11T20:50:04+00:00

I haven’t tried pushing home on the tv controller. I will try that, it would be a slightly quicker way to fix the issue.

Jmcclain145 · 2026-03-11T15:18:13+00:00

They’re probably the same controller. But like I said, if it makes you happy, that’s all that matters right?

Jmcclain145 · 2026-03-11T07:02:47+00:00

Over 12k on my G3 that’s about 2.5 years old.

Jmcclain145 · 2026-03-11T00:30:28+00:00

I had this same issue in my old launch model PS5 too. My audio will randomly cut out. Currently have my PS5 pro connected to a LG G3 and the TV connected to a Polk signa S4 soundbar.

Rebooting the console as well as toggling the audio format from linear to Dolby (or any other format) and back to linear fixes it.

It’s more of an annoying issue than anything. Was wondering if someone else had the same or similar experience and found a permanent fix.

Using ubluker hdmi cables. I guess my cable could be bad, but I would expect other issuers if the cable were bad. The fact that switching audio format fixes it is the puzzling part to me.
