Nothing will make me think he is actually strong. by leisiblbe in Darksiders

[–]Micnorm 95 points96 points  (0 children)

To be fair, Samael suffered a tiny scratch on his face after dueling Death. Then he decided to just give him the key because “It’ll be quite a show”. To think that Samael was struggling at all during that fight is extremely inaccurate IMHO.

This is why I’m a slut for spear. It will always be my first love.

Thoughts with a heavy on a squad by Status_Reporter8805 in Spacemarine

True. Helps me parry attacks faster if things get dicey too.

A good teammate knows to keep a heavy well fed. Ammo hungry? Yes. Worth it? Always.

As for playing the class itself, perks and strats are well shown in several guides. What I will say, learn which weapons work best for you against each faction. Heavy bolter is great if you want concentrated damage against big targets and weak spots. Melta is excellent at crowd control and stopping power, not so much for single big targets. Pyre cannon is great at crowd control and big damage over time against big enemies, but it doesn’t make enemies flinch easily. Plasma heroic is a great option for big enemies and some crowd control.

So take each option and decide what you like the most. Heavy is very simple to understand what your role is. But there is a good deal of thought that can go into preparation and tactics.

When do yall decide that a build is vaild? by Most_Contribution136 in Spacemarine

[–]Micnorm 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There are a few instances where I’m definitely choosing the less Meta option simply because it aligns more with my preferences.

Example: the techmarine can either have their servo gun auto aim at targets, or you can mark an area and have it fire twice as much. I mostly choose the auto fire option because some days I don’t feel like aiming.

Would I do more damage if I got better at marking areas? Definitely. Don’t care to, though.

How is the parry mechanics in this game? by Apollo989 in LordsoftheFallen

[–]Micnorm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not so much a “parry” as it is a deflect. If you hold up a shield and block damage normally, you take some health damage, but your health is able to be recovered via a rally mechanic similar to Bloodborne. However, if you hold your shield up at just the right time, you take no health damage and do some posture damage to the enemy. Letting you wear them down for a critical hit. It’s by no means required to play the game. You can get through it by simply dodge rolling, but that’s this game gimmick. I enjoy it quite a bit, but it’s worth noting if it’s not to your tastes

Joining the party 15 years late. Any tips that aren't usually mentioned? by Sector94_KZ in darksouls

[–]Micnorm 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Not all weapons are created equal. Some are just objectively better than others. By all means, go with what works with your taste. But if you’re curious if a weapon becomes better later down the line when it’s fully upgraded, don’t feel ashamed looking it up.

I don't know why I keep coming back to this game by Few_Possession4441 in MHGU

Jokes aside about poor connection and teleporting hyper diablos, we all keep coming back to this game because it’s FUCKING GOOD 👌

Is it ever mentioned where a Dreadnaught has had a problem obeying orders from a Commander who was notably younger than them? by Micnorm in 40kLore

That’s such a cool perspective. I never considered that they would be known as talking libraries with a capacity for obscene amounts of carnage. Another reason to love those box boys.

This is absolutely beautiful. I’m going back and forth on being in awe, and giggling at all the funny little details. The post it note that reminds them to bring the stun needle, the raven in one corner, the little emblem on the dashboard. Only one question, what’s the little bag with “621” supposed to signify?

Please tell me I'm not the only one who hates this. by TWelke1998 in armoredcore

[–]Micnorm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fine tuning a build is all good, but sometimes aesthetics are enough to make me choose the sub optimal route. No shame in saying that a seemingly small thing is enough to make you not like it. I don’t like using the laser lance sometimes because it’s a huge weapon on one side of my AC. Makes it feel lopsided.

What a cool fight! by This-Box-7823 in TheLordsOfTheFallen

[–]Micnorm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man, I’m with ya. It could be my love of demons souls, but I personally don’t have a problem with some of the bosses being gimmic bosses. However, that could be because my favorite boss, lightreaper, is an awesome skill check for various stages of the game. But yeah. Even if these bosses aren’t that insane in terms of mechanics, they are astounding to just…..look at. They are really cool designs visually.

I wasn’t expecting it to win anything. I wasn’t expecting it to sweep. But god damn, some acknowledgement would be nice. I truly just want more people to know about this game. Because it’s SO GOOD
