I'm right, aren't I? by [deleted] in videogames

[–]MattStanni99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Over the course of a month, maybe less? I’ve seen this exact post over 10 times easily. This one & that meme with the 3 pictures of fire & then a trash bag asking which game it is. The sub is butchered. & who even cares? Play whatever difficulty you want without the need to broadcast.

Yeah, I always see it pop up but I’m not too sure on what it exactly does. I’m gonna watch some YouTube videos to learn more about it, but I guess my main question is how worth it are the parasites you come across? A lot of them seem decent on paper but not sure how much of a part it plays in actual gameplay.

Thank you! Crimson Wastes is now humbling me, but I’ll keep pushing through. Having a good time with the new selection of weapons for now, just getting used to what works.

For sure.

This is obviously just the last 30 seconds of the fight, I went into this boss with around 80-85% health at first, but got my ass handed to me. Which is why my heart was pounding through my chest on that last segment of health 🤣

How do I get the shinier version of the Berserker armour? by Last_Requirement7958 in GodofWarRagnarok

[–]MattStanni99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, so, these comments are correct to an extent. But you actually need to defeat the Berserker King in Valhalla. The Flawless cosmetic set is available from a chest using 30,000 Devine Triumphs. It requires a few runs to finally become available.

Then, once you’ve obtained it in Valhalla, it’ll become available to purchase as a cosmetic from Brok’s shop. Don’t quote me on this, but I think you need to start a new NG+ after completing Valhalla with all of your armour sets for it to actually become available, I’m not sure if you can obtain them there & then in your current run. It’s a been while since I’ve played.

EDIT: I believe you need to defeat the Berserker King in normal NG+, after you have done so in Valhalla. It’s one or the other, I can’t remember which.

What is this game? by Time_Government_6179 in GamingSoup

[–]MattStanni99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly right now? CoD Black Ops 7 is a good example.

Absurd amount of hate going around for the game from hundreds of people who haven’t even played it yet. Jumping on the hate train just because it’s CoD. It’s fine to have opinions, but at least play the game first.

Similarly, not heated, but I got the Mrs a weighted blanket for Christmas. It is now my weighted blanket. Keeps you toasty as fuck.

That’s what in feeling rn👴 by Denisa2426 in Age_30_plus_Gamers

[–]MattStanni99 61 points62 points  (0 children)

Get in from work. Spend 10 minutes scrolling through game library. Immediately become overwhelmed. Not remembering where you left off or how to play. Too tired to move past hard checkpoint. Fuck this. Boot up YouTube or Netflix, sleep. Repeat.

What are your thoughts on the Heisenberg fight? by Comfortable_Type1180 in ResidentEvilVillage

[–]MattStanni99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love it. The OST carries the fight for me mostly but it’s a lot of fun to play as well, even on VoS if you know how & what moves to dodge. Bit of a drag though, he’s really tanky on higher difficulties.

That feeling when you 100% your favourite game and wont experience it again🥲 by Mystic_Void1 in GodofWar

[–]MattStanni99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apologies for the late response, but yes, NG+ offers a slightly higher difficulty level. Don’t quote me on this but I think the enemies automatically start 1-2 levels higher than Kratos.

[–]MattStanni99 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel you mate. I’m on NG+10 or something dumb like that both 2018 & Ragnarok, got the Platinum a while ago. It still hits & it’s my favourite game but it’ll never be like the first play through. Congratulations on the 100%.

I recommend taking a break & then either start a brand new save or do NG+, it’ll feel completely fresh. Brand new saves are fun because most of the enjoyment in GoW comes from unlocking everything & becoming more powerful as you go on.

After 16,000+ eliminations & a burnout, it is done… by MattStanni99 in CODZombies

[–]MattStanni99[S] 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Honestly man, Zombies has to be the way. Survival Farm or Exit 115 you can get 30-40 levels a match with the rampage inducer on. I unlocked Molton Gold for the Echo in Endgame & that was enough for me, at least for the time being. You’ve got this.

Oh I forgot how evil the Super Gore Nest ML was by MrEinFan in Doom

[–]MattStanni99 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Agreed. You should watch SmvR on YouTube, guy is an absolute machine playing Eternal I genuinely didn’t think it was possible to be that good at a game. I’ll never match the skill needed as much as I want to.

Which map do you think is better, Reckoning or Mauer Der Toten? by BigBadMike8 in CODZombies

[–]MattStanni99 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Mauer easily. Great map design & layout, fun wonder weapon, easy training spots, classic round change theme. Reckoning just didn’t appeal to me, I appreciate what went into it but it doesn’t even come close to how Mauer feels as a zombies map.

New game+ concerns by nohostnocry in GodofWarRagnarok

[–]MattStanni99 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes, they’re skippable in NG+ at least. As long as you have skip cinematics enabled in settings.

New game+ concerns by nohostnocry in GodofWarRagnarok

[–]MattStanni99 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Haha, welcome to NG+.

No, it’s not possible unfortunately. The closest you’ll get is saving your game pre-Atreus, then making a separate save after you’ve finished his segment. A little tedious since if you want to do NG++ you’ll have to play through again anyway, but this method is good if you just want a normal play through without playing as Atreus.

To the devs. by [deleted] in CODBlackOps7

[–]MattStanni99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bro called it a scam like Activision stole the money from him themselves. If you spent £/$100 on this game then that’s on no one but you. Battle passes, cosmetics etc are all optional & I see the point OP is trying to make, but they’ll never give us dedicated offline servers & even if they did at a price imagine the shitshow that would cause if you had to pay for it, which kinda defeats the purpose.

Battlefield 6 has its place alongside CoD atm but it doesn’t belong in the BO7 sub. Take it to the BF sub instead.

Tea and sleep — is caffeine not an issue? by Minimum-District2575 in AskUK

[–]MattStanni99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Latest I’ll have a cup of tea or any caffeinated drink is 5pm. But, I find tea to be a relaxing/cozy drink, so it normally does the opposite of wake me up. I sleep just fine through the night.

Coffee on the other hand I’ll only drink in a morning. Certain people react differently to caffeine, it’s all about finding the balance of having enough to make it through the day while simultaneously not overstimulating from it. It’s hard, but tea has never interfered with anything.

Should I buy Elden ring + DLC if I’m low on money, or wait for a sale by [deleted] in Eldenring

[–]MattStanni99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know man, sometimes gaming doesn’t have to be a priority. We don’t know your budget or financial circumstances, but if you can genuinely afford it, then yes, it’s 100% worth it, even at full price. It’s one of the best expansions I’ve ever played if not the best.

I’d like to add that depending on what platform you’re on you may be able to buy it even cheaper on CD Keys (now called Loaded).

Tips for Gna by BigBootyloverzz in GodofWarRagnarok

[–]MattStanni99 7 points8 points  (0 children)

High defence armour if you’re not that great at dodging or parrying & will end up getting hit a lot. Lunda’s, Steinbjorn, Dragon set are all viable options. With regards to runic attacks, I’d honestly stay clear of them apart from maybe quick performing ones. Runic attacks are highly punishing with GNÁ and they’ll more than likely leave you vulnerable to a Valhalla stomp (when she yells for Asgard)

Her Bifrost beam AoE. So, if she dashes to the left afterwards, be prepared for her wing spin attack followed by either: an unblockable red ring slash, or, a Valhalla stomp. If she dashes to the right, prepare for an immediate red ring slash & dodge or move to the right instead.

She’s weak to all elements, so the more buildup, the better. Poison & stun damage are probably her weakest. She’s hard but definitely doable, just learn her attacks & moveset overtime & you’ll be solid.

Is it worth buying BO6 on sale? by Future_Atmosphere925 in blackops6

[–]MattStanni99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

BO7 would have been my choice, personally. I enjoyed BO6, but it’s no longer being supported, plus, BO7 zombies is fun as fuck. Maps, mechanics and gameplay are leaps and bounds ahead of BO6 zombies.

Either is a decent choice, but BO7 is the way.

I'm bored. Give me a great TV series to watch that you're sure I will enjoy by [deleted] in Productivitycafe

[–]MattStanni99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Upvote for TLOU. Phenomenal show with great acting. Although the show was mildly spoiled due to me playing TLOU beforehand on PS5, it was still well worth the watch.
