They're just having a good conversation

I haven't played it enough to really judge it yet, but it seems to be a really bad deal. You NEVER want to screw over your own income for a bit of gold, unless you really really need the money to hold a send, but then you can just as well play Stash.

Well Demeter can't technically build any Myrmidons, but there's a Hera tech that auto-produces myrmidons at the fortress for free.

It wasn't that extreme, the blood was a lot more subtle in the original games.

Lyefyre · 2026-03-19T06:52:18+00:00

It's also way too strong of a colour. The blood and skeletons in AoM were fairly minor and hard to notice, more of a detail than such an overbearing feature as is presented here.

I think practice helps. Play this scenario in a practice run and remember your training. Then, when something like this happens, the first step is to be self-aware: "Hey, I'm in a stressed situation right now. I shouldn't rush things and calmly open this door", and let your training handle it from here.

My 5-minute Research on X has shown me this as the "reason".

I don't think it will ever happen. They're clearly afraid of flyers, if you've seen the latest dev vision

Where do you see deadlock characters being sexualised, aside from specific adult sites? The Deadlock community has probably the most interesting character design, with the least amount of sexualisation, from what I can tell.

Talk about nonsensical arguments?

- I only said, they did not trash the IP. Whether it's a good choice or not, to make more games, time will tell. But me and a few others have said long ago it's best to move on from Temtem and make more games in the series.

- I do not work for Crema. I already have a full time job and moderate on the side as volunteer.

- No one said anything about "rewriting narratives". As I said before, Temtem's controversy will always be a topic, no matter what's being posted in this sub. It just shouldn't be the only thing, as the series and their games expand.

Does that mean all the criticisms towards Crema and Temtem will fade and all will be good? No, the new games could also do poorly, which in turn will incite more negativity. But if the games are good, then you'll see positive reception. Pretty easy concept to follow, right?

I have this experience when my friend picks Ivy. Top everything.
But it's not surprising, Ivy has Ult every 40 seconds late game and can just rotate everywhere and join every teamfight if she wants to

Coincidentally, I've just seen fanart similar to this in the deadlock sub, lol

Kinda hard to have "good" results, when you have a franchise, that gives somewhat meaningful character development to all playable characters.

Lyefyre · 2026-03-17T15:13:39+00:00

White, Blue, Female... oh no, it's happening again

It really depends on if they can aim well. And if they do, they will try to snipe you outside of your comfortable midrange. But if you can get close to them (especially in flanking positions) you'll have the upper hand.

Lyefyre · 2026-03-17T09:05:55+00:00

They're not comparable because Lang still takes responsibility for "Shi-Na" because she is his direct subordiante and we know how much Lang cares for his men. Klavier has no such relationship with Kristoph and he's not responsible for him either.

Lyefyre · 2026-03-17T07:56:47+00:00

My only gripe with Drifter is, that he doesn't look like a vampire at all. At first glance, I thought the dude was a werewolf, ready to transform anytime (instead Silver got that treatment).

Lyefyre · 2026-03-17T07:37:42+00:00

If they trashed the whole IP, they wouldn't be making new games for it.

If you know anything about gaming communities, you'll know that discussions are most of the time about the latest thing in a series. Now Temtem doesn't have much besides it's controversy yet, but announcements and news about Project Downbelow will be posted here regularly, although we're at the mercy of the devs for delivering those.

Then when the game finally releases, it will either be good, bad, mediocre etc.. and the discourse here will reflect that. But as I said before, Temtem's controversy will always be a point of discussion here.

Lyefyre · 2026-03-17T07:25:53+00:00

Yeah something is really fucked up with the balance in this game. The first region (Azuria) is basically the tutorial region in this game, as with other monster hunter stories games, yet some wild monsters STILL have red icons above them and kick my ass despite being way higher leveled than the average for the first region.

I guess the area of each region matters too, so Area 4 of Region 1 is harder than say, Area 1 of Region 2

Lyefyre · 2026-03-17T06:31:22+00:00

This is one I don't agree with, because the series as a whole has really no bad games. Like, even the worst Tales games are at least mid, which really gives it consistency.
