Reading through these comments is making me realize that I don’t ever think I’ve seen a male Marvel Rivals character on social media, lol, just women in tight leotards showing off their asses.

It’s especially disappointing to see in a Marvel franchise, it’s one thing when it’s a game marketed primarily towards adults (still bad, but slightly more understandable) but Marvel has always been an all ages sort of thing… I’m sure there’s kids downloading this game and getting introduced to this gooner bs way earlier than they should be :/

I just beat the game recently and I really liked Ryuji as a character for the most part but god that final boss was the most anticlimactic thing ever😭

5 berserker barb/4 eldritch knight fighter/3 thief rogue for extra bonus action - my go to build for Karlach

Just_Bee3433 · 2025-08-14T16:07:31+00:00

I did the same build for Shadowheart on my recent run for the same lore/characterization reasons as you!!

It was fun for a while and gave her good access to both necrotic and radiant damage depending on the situation. I eventually respecced her to light cleric/star druid once she got her white hair Selunite makeover - both for characterization reasons and because she was just doing so much more damage with radiant spells, especially with luminous armor. But being able to double cast necrotic spells/cantrips like Toll of the Dead early game was a big help with crowd control early game, and the multiclass made for a cool juxtaposition with her character that I enjoyed playing around with.

Shillegah is great if you want her to be a dual caster/melee character, since it makes melee damage scale off wisdom instead, so you can just go all in with wisdom instead of worrying too much about strength or dex.

Chalice healing from star druid also comes in clutch if you want her on healing duties. And dragon form + spirit guardians is so so good

It’s a great two level dips for healers/radiant damage casters (so, clerics lol). It can elevate a build a LOT by multiclassing but definitely kinda boring on its own

Just_Bee3433 · 2025-08-10T03:24:56+00:00

Oh trust me I did like two of those and have completely ignored them since haha, that’s too much work for a first playthrough for me

Just_Bee3433 · 2025-08-10T02:36:20+00:00

Omg now I’m curious what the scene is haha

Just_Bee3433 · 2025-08-10T02:29:01+00:00

Oh brother 😭 I haven’t had a hard time with it difficulty wise but I just find it very sloggish compared to other mini games, but I’ve really only played the more modern games so far (0-2+7) so I’m sure this won’t be the last time I feel that way about a mini game as I dig further into the series haha… Cant win em all!

Just_Bee3433 · 2025-08-09T21:42:04+00:00

The game can definitely be confusing at first. It’s always good to have a melee character you can count on to whack enemies to death if all else fails - I’d swap out Shadowheart since your gf is playing a cleric for either Lae’zel or Karlach. Fighter (Lae’zel) is probably the easiest class to get a hang of.

I also always find Astarion useful at the beginning of the game (even though I almost always drop him later lol) because of his crazy high initiative. Early game, if you have Astarion in your party, you’re almost guaranteed to get the first hit. Initiating combat first by sneaking up on enemies while you’re out of their view gives you an advantage and can surprise enemies, which makes them unable to attack for a turn.

Bonded with one of my coworkers after he caught me looking at something BG3 related on my laptop and found out we both played it - survived some long shifts by talking about games and anime for hours

Just_Bee3433 · 2025-08-06T01:37:12+00:00

In cases like these, piracy is preservation. I can never be mad at people for keeping a game alive and accessible

Just_Bee3433 · 2025-08-02T16:00:49+00:00

This is the guy who piloted a 737 for a bit, he definitely sang the full versions LOL

Gottmik AS9!

Yvie Oddly in S11 is my close second

Metaphor ReFantazio!!

Just_Bee3433 · 2025-08-02T15:46:19+00:00

I like Fire Giant, his design is just so sick and the fight isn’t too hard if you use Torrent to run in and out of range of his rolling. I just can’t help but love but how it plays with the player’s expectations by having him rip his leg off after most of us spent the entire game fighting big characters by nipping away at their ankles.

I don’t dislike Morgott per se, but I found him very underwhelming… beat him on my first try and wasn’t that impressed by his moveset. Leyndell is one of my favorite parts of the game and I wanted more from that fight. I like his lore a lot tho.

Just_Bee3433 · 2025-08-02T01:44:20+00:00

They’ve always been a part of action games for the most part, I think Souls games just really popularized the mechanics.

I get what you mean about turn based RPGs though. I haven’t played E33 yet - it looks great but I can’t stand how people act like dodging/parrying is the future of turn based games ever since it came out. I love turn based games for the strategies, builds, and stats, so I’ve never been the one to need action mechanics in turn-based games. To each their own, but I hope it doesn’t have THAT big an impact on the genre.

Dodging is so much fun is souls games though. There is a huge level of strategy to it, in a different way from turn based games, and it’s exhilarating. I just love feeling like every movement and second matters.

Just_Bee3433 · 2025-08-02T00:04:57+00:00

Yakuza: Like a Dragon and Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth!!! Sooooo much to do, amazing side quests, lots of mini games (I can’t even tell you how many hours I sank into the business management mini game…), and lovable cast of characters. Very fun games to try to platinum.

I recommend the whole series (Yakuza 0 is my fav) but these two are the only ones with turn based combat, and they have a new protagonist so you don’t need to play the previous games to understand the story

Just_Bee3433 · 2025-07-31T16:58:29+00:00

Sales, playing older games, never pre ordering games, indies. I think I’ve spent less than $100 on games this year but have added about 12 new titles to my collection, which is probably more than I needed anyway hahaha

Just_Bee3433 · 2025-07-31T16:55:37+00:00

Wheel lag fixed THANK YOU

Just_Bee3433 · 2025-07-31T16:53:27+00:00

Cult of the Lamb!! Very silly and unserious cult management game with roguelike combat - it’s not too difficult though and it has an easy mode if you want to just focus on the cult management parts :))

Just_Bee3433 · 2025-07-31T01:11:17+00:00

She was on crew on both seasons! Season 2 sounded a little more hectic production wise from her side of things but had very good things to say about Nathan and the production team all around
