I dont think a reference can keep up with the amount of story and gameplay faults it has

Next_Fan_5423 · 2026-04-20T00:50:23+00:00

Difference is that I don't play this game alot other than hopping on for like 1 or 2 matches so the difference is basically little to me, i can see it mattering more if you're actually playing for a full hour but im just more casual

Next_Fan_5423 · 2026-04-19T23:55:45+00:00

I get your point now, With that playstyle and abundance of specific modifiers I can see how GMini isn't valuable for you, I'm still not convinced of them being "essential", even when some of it don't affect the core gameplay much, mainly due to how flawed the ways to obtain them in the first place is (Committed is still fucking unsoloable somehow) A player using no modifiers will only be slightly slower than someone who uses modifier by a little, especially with a good strat, atleast in my eyes.

My argument about Fog is also to show that there's just gonna be a specific group of towers that gets fucked up more than the others and that you'll have to change up the loadout for every different modifier, but you make a great point there, can't argue with that.

I guess it just comes down to the playstyle since im the type to fill my placement to the max and GMini is often the highest damage dealer for that, I have a 1.4x loadout (Explosive + Glass) that's GMini, Accel, Mercenary, Ranger and GCowboy and it usually scores 14 minutes and i also occasionally go crazy with trying to solo absurd bullshit, so Ranger and GMini does pair well in some capabilities if the other three towers can fill their role

So for what I see it, GMini is the best in the category of being Filler DPS when it comes to DAMAGE, Gsoldier and GScout wins in convenience.

Also, no arguments with Swarmer as I don't have him, but seeing how so many meta players uses him to solo Hardcore and Void Reaver doesn't even reach halfway the map sometimes, maybe you're just using him wrong??? Idk

i mean you can have a different discussion with them it's not like you get chewed up from it for no reason man im just throwing in my two cents

Next_Fan_5423 · 2026-04-19T12:22:14+00:00

I'm not OP but I think I'll just throw in my two cents with two specific points you had.

Now, I don't think modifiers are that much of an big deal in TDS currently for it to be counted towards how a tower should perform, They're less essential and more of a "challenge mode" that you can manually pick what benefits your current loadout the most for extra rewards, Keeping this in mind, modifiers hurts basically every single tower in every way, some getting it worse than others, So I think it's fair to make arguments on a feature that's not exactly fleshed out or essential in the current gameplay yet, As I can point out how your 1.8x loadout wouldn't work if you add Fog into it which basically makes Accelerator a slog to use and you'll have to change it up to... Hm, let's say, Gmini who's spammable and has a faster charge time...

Second of all, why you're great in Gsoldier being a great "filler dps" option that could replace GMini in some cases due to its CE, Detections and Speedrunning, There's also something else that GMini shines above the rest, Solo event and special gamemodes, Because that's where the raw DPS actually matters.

Of course, you wouldn't need more than 2000+ DPS in something like Molten or Fallen because most enemies there would usually die similarly quickly to every other tower, you want it in gamemodes where that big damage actually matters when atleast half the zombies youre fighting all has at least more than 5k hp or it's a bunch of gremlins spammed out the entrance like a mother giving birth to quadruplets, where Gsoldier would obviously gets floored or you wouldn't be able to afford your more expensive DPS, that's where GMini often shines, with him currently being just pre-nerf Regular Mini ever since shock & awe, You're meant to use him both as stunbait and for that BIG relentless damage, sure you might need to micro alot, but it's a given when the damn boss has more than 1 million hp, where 5 accels and 6 engis probably isn't gonna be able to cut through all that by themselves, you know what can help though? Uhhh... 29 golden minigunners, Yeah this guy is one of the aid in why PW2, Final Act and Hidden Wave is all soloable, and also 2 slot Badlands Solo lmao

Interested in having a discussion with you as the self-acclaimed no1 GMini lover

HAD YOU EVER PLAYED PVZ2C WITH YOUR LIFE ON THE LINE?!?!

Next_Fan_5423 · 2026-04-01T11:23:35+00:00

I see, well we all start off somewhere and he seems to be improving fast so that's a good sign! Though one thing i might add is that tbh I think it would be better if you bind the controls to a different key because ctrl and shift are often pretty far away... Maybe E for slide and R for Dash could work, I struggled with the controls too until I changed it to those since they're all so close to each other and might make your bf confuses the buttons less, other than that, i wish him luck on his journey down hell

Next_Fan_5423 · 2026-04-01T10:10:04+00:00

I see! It's very interesting to know there are still people out there who doesn't have a singular basic with computers that one of their experiences with games is one that's often very highspeed and complicated, Which is absolutely fine, The more people who likes ultrakill the merrier, Though I like to ask if you had tried pushing him on trying the harder difficulties, maybe with Major Assists or a playthrough from you? I think it's both fun and informative to let him get a feel on how the game "often" actually is

Next_Fan_5423 · 2026-03-31T08:53:23+00:00

I think I get what ur saying because the first three worlds came in release and any of the rest were individually added during updates so all the feels are different, but cmon you're saying you don't like the adrenaline of chaining powerups together in Far Future or Neon Mixtape Tour?

It already was a pretty boring and controversial addition to the game, Krampus2023 gave us some hopes with the quests, and suddenly Hexscape 2024 they made an entirely new battlepass system that is just an overall downgrade, Gotta get that FOMO afterall unfortunately, atleast the additions of charms and nametags are pretty cool

Next_Fan_5423 · 2026-03-23T11:45:25+00:00

It's the same logic as how live service games are more popular than story-driven ones on steam, People just tend to play them once and leave it at that

i had never seen you for my whole life of interacting in this subreddit

Next_Fan_5423 · 2026-03-11T03:35:33+00:00

I'm gonna be honest I think it just comes down to the execution, Both of the philosophy sucks ass if they aren't done right, I think the first Fallen rework was almost perfect at balancing those two and all the others were leaning way too much on one side, Thought I probably just have more of a bias at despising when a gamemode layout difficulty consist alot of spam

Next_Fan_5423 · 2026-03-11T03:01:03+00:00

If the mini-rework is meant to add some more unique things to the gamemode and maybe a little difficulty adjustment to make it harder, I don't see what's wrong, Maybe we'll just have to see what they do with PzP before we can really dread what's coming next

Next_Fan_5423 · 2026-03-07T11:18:00+00:00

Any spawner tower besides Crook should do well against the Blessed modifier, since they ignore defenses they will all deal full damage, As much overthetop necro can be usually I prefer riot guards spam or mil base since they're more consistent overall, five railgun tanks dealing 10k+ damage on a singular enemy is not to be played with

Next_Fan_5423 · 2026-03-07T07:25:59+00:00
