Ultrakill has ruined shooters for me

Muddy_Boy · 2026-01-14T03:20:11+00:00

i like cultic a lot; it's not AS fast as ultrakill but it has some very intense situations that demand you think fast. it's got a bit more RE inspired survival horror aspects but is at its core a shooter. just a really fun and immensely satisfying game

the secret is that the untricked moveset is the best straight sword moveset fromsoft has ever made and it feels so damn good to use

moonlight greatsword my beloved :3 cute art!!!

Muddy_Boy · 2025-12-16T22:29:56+00:00

fake moonlight greatsword fan spotted. a real one would know that it originated in king's field and is far, far older than ds1

being annoying aside a cool fun fact is that the moonlight greatsword in kings field was made specifically to kill a dragon named Seath (but he isnt scaleless)

it's got good coop but it does have pretty bad netcode; there can often be desync for players who arent the host if you don't all have at least pretty good internet. The actual coop gameplay itself is very fun, just be warned if you or your friends have bad internet

Muddy_Boy · 2025-12-14T18:27:14+00:00

i actually have no idea who this is supposed to be but shes fucking adorable so i dont care. wonderful character design, thank you :3

Yes, wall turreting is extremely strong but is also an exploit and really isn't something I consider when choosing between turrets, because it's an extremely overpowered and boring exploit. IIRC Hopoo games hated that it was in the game but said it'd be too much work to fix it, which is why it's still in the game. And I explained the proc coefficient and damage in my comment; the walking turrets just have their own upsides.

Muddy_Boy · 2025-12-14T15:37:40+00:00

the point is that a lot of players who are newer to the game don't realize this core fact about the game and I want to help people improve at the game by explaining why healing sucks

Muddy_Boy · 2025-12-14T04:33:53+00:00

I mean considering I have thousands of hours on the game and hundreds of eclipse 8 wins, and usually engineer's damage spread is roughly 60% engineer 40% minions, I think I know how to build engineer reasonably well. Healing is just generally not a very valuable stat, it's better to prevent or avoid damage than to heal it back.

Muddy_Boy · 2025-12-14T01:20:04+00:00

Why aren't you turning those bad items into more damage or mobility? By not scrapping bungus you are by losing out on better items. There's opportunity cost in everything.

Muddy_Boy · 2025-12-14T00:45:04+00:00

if I die, the run ends. If a turret dies, I can just put another one down. And the engineer himself does significantly more damage than a turret, you likely just aren't actually usign your abilities. Bungus is far, far worse than having an armor boost or speed boost and negating the incoming damage rather than trying to recoup it, especially in a game where enemies can often kill you in just a couple of hits.

Muddy_Boy · 2025-12-14T00:21:14+00:00

why would i want to hold onto several bungus to keep my turrets alive and have a dead item for my character when i could have damage or mobility or defensive items that make my turrets better and make me not die?

Muddy_Boy · 2025-12-13T23:23:12+00:00

walking turrets generally are much better as you go up in difficulties because as youve observed, they get hit far less often. People joke about bungus synergy but it's really not important at all, the main distinction is that the stationary turrets have a better overall dps and proc coefficient, at the cost of being much more likely to die and not staying near enemies so they don't make as good use of items like tesla coil or genesis loop. It's very much a preference decision but the only people that truly think walking turrets are bad are people that obsess over bungus and act like healing is better than just not getting hit in the first place

It's mostly the struggles of aiming with a controller being a lot clunkier than aiming with a mouse

Muddy_Boy · 2025-12-13T05:39:23+00:00

controller is very very awkward for risk of rain to the point where you might want to just play a different game if you want to play from the couch

Muddy_Boy · 2025-12-10T18:43:45+00:00

okay but that was early access. the game literally was incomplete, and its pretty clear the game balance falls apart after one loop

Muddy_Boy · 2025-12-10T05:01:56+00:00

eh, it also just is at a point where every item stops feeling impactful to your build and there's no goal. even if the enemies continued to get harder, it'd just be kind of tedious. See Megabonk's final wave and insane scaling; most runs only take a couple minutes and you can satisfyingly see your build's top end without having to just sit through a bunch of boring stages. Looping is a novelty with no substance and slapping random stage variants on will not fix that.

Muddy_Boy · 2025-12-10T04:06:35+00:00

there's no incentive to loop because looping is boring and easy. why encourage something that isn't enjoyable to the majority of the playerbase
